2010 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TOYOTA SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND BRAKING DEFECTS. *TR

11/24/09 I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 CAMRY IN A PARKING LOT. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. I WAS TRAVELING 10 MPH. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS, NOR THE BRAKE, THE TORQUE OF THE ENGINE WAS SUFFICIENT FOR MOVING US ALONG WHILE LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPACE. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ABOVE THE BRAKE AS I WAS SLOWLY LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT. SUDDENLY, I HEARD A VERY LOUD VVRROOOMMMM AND THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND LUNGED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE QUICKLY AND STOPPED THE CAR. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CONICELLI RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR. LATER THAT DAY WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHERE THE "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION" (A PROBLEM TOYOTA EARLIER IN THE DAY TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING) WOULD HAVE APPEARED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WERE AT A LOSS. LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A FLOOR MAT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION" WAS CAUSED BY THE "MAT ISSUE." I KNOW MY EXPERIENCE WAS REAL AND NOT CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS ELSEWHERE AND EXACERBATED FOR SOME DRIVERS BECAUSE THEY HAD THE FLOOR MATS IN PLACE. PLEASE PRESS TOYOTA TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I BOUGHT FOR SAFETY REASONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR THANK YOU.

MY 2010 CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN SEPT. 09. IN NOVEMBER I NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, FOOT ON THE BREAK AND YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES, WHEN IN JANUARY I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & WAS TOLD ALL 10 CAMRY'S DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE NEW 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MGR. & I TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE, AND WE REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS NORMAL, THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME IN ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WANTED IT REPORTED TO TOYOTA - HE SAID HE WOULD AND WOULD CALL ME BACK. TO DATE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATION SURGE, HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO AT TIMES, VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DONE VERY WELL WHEN COMING TO A STOP, KIND OF LIKE A FAST IDLE. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHERE MY CRUISE CONTROL IS AT 5' O'CLOCK STEERING WHEEL IT RESET IS UP AND HIT MY LEG CAUSING THE CAR TO RUN UP WITH OUT ME KNOWING WHY. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE. THIS NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO ANOTHER SPOT ON THE STEERING WHEEL.I HAVE A 2010 CAMRY SE. I REPORT IT TO DEALER THEY DID THINK IT WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCT-2009 AND I REALIZED AFTER 2-3 WEEKS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THERE. THE RPM GOES HIGH (AND TRIES TO STAY THERE) WHEN DOWN-SHIFTING EVEN WITHOUT THE LEG IS OFF THE GAS PADDLE. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT DOWNSHIFTING MAY INCREASE RPM BUT THEN I FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO STAY THERE BY MEANS OF SOME UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION. WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, I JUST IGNORED THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND LET THEM MESS IT UP FURTHER. I THOUGHT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT IS A NEW CAR. AFTER FEW MILES DRIVEN, THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY. BUT WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION IN JANUARY 2010, I REALIZED THAT THE ISSUE IS MORE SERIOUS AND I SHOULD NOT IGNORE ANY MORE. I WENT TO DEALER BUT AS I EXPECTED, THEY DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN. I WENT FOR THE RECALL TOO BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. BEING AN ENGINEER, I MYSELF HAVE ESTABLISHED FEW SIMPLE TEST CASES WHERE ONE CAN PROVE THAT THERE IS DEFINATELY SOMETHING WRONG IN THE CAR. AND IF THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. I KNEW IN ADVANCE THAT TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE SO THAT I CAN KEEP ON DRIVING IT NICELY FOR YEARS TO COME BUT I NEVE EXPECT IT TO BE GOING TO GARAGE FOR SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS! I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTORY ANSWER/SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM SO FAR.

RUNAWAY LATE CAMRY, LEXUS: TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE ACC (ACCESSORY) POSITION TURNS OFF THE IGNITION WHILE LEAVING THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED. THIS INFORMATION COULD SAVE LIVES. *TR

ABS BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. NO ACCIDENTS, AS I HAVE BEEN THROUGH TWO PROFESSIONAL DRIVING COURSES. HOWEVER, HEARING THE INCIDENTS OF THE PRIUS BRAKE ISSUES CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY WITH THE OPERATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY JOHNSON & JOHNSON FLEET CAMRY THAT WAS DELIVERED IN OCTOBER, 2009 (2010 MODEL). IF THERE IS A NEED TO "TAP THE BRAKES" THEY WILL LOCK UP AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. WHEN APPLYING THE ABS BRAKES ON GRAVEL OR LOOSE/UNEVEN PAVEMENT, IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE AND THE CAR SEEMS TO "HOP," RATHER THAN COME TO AN APPROPRIATE STOP. IT SEEMS IDENTICAL TO REPORTS/COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE HEARD AROUND THE PRIUS. NORMALLY, I WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER SENDING AN ALERT TO YOU. HOWEVER, HEARING INTERVIEWS ON THE NEWS AND READING FURTHER ABOUT THE RECALL, I FELT VERY COMPELLED TO LET YOU KNOW. I AM THE ASSIGNED DRIVER TO THIS FLEET VEHICLE. IT IS OWNED & LICENSED TO JOHNSON & JOHNSON HEALTHCARE SERVICES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN LIGHTLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED 40 MPH PAST THE INTENDED SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, NOR HAS THE MANUFACTURER BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 920.

SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, I SAW ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE CAR TRANSMISSION WORKED AT SPEEDS FROM 0-50MPH. STARTING FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF MY USING THE CAR, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES, ONLY TO BE SENT BACK AFTER A "TEST DRIVE" SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. IN MY OWN LANGUAGE, I HAD BEEN EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH NOW LOOKS EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE 'STICKING GAS PEDAL" RECALL RECENTLY INFORMED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING WHILE BRAKING, OR WOULD START BRAKING WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO USED TO FEEL A JERK WHEN THE CAR MOVED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 0-50MPH. I COMMUTE 70 MILES DAILY TO WORK AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS DAILY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE STARTED IGNORING OUT OF DEEP FRUSTRATION. THE DEALER TEST DRIVES AND CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT SAYING THEY CANNOT RECREATE MY ISSUE. I LOGGED AN INCIDENT WITH TOYOTA (091214-000053). IT LED TO MY FOURTH VISIT TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ANSWER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE FROM A CASE MANAGER WAS THAT IF THEY CANNOT RECREATE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I ALMOST FEEL THIS IS A HOPELESS CASE AS I DON'T THINK NEITHER TOYOTA NOR THE DEALERSHIP WERE TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT ASSISTING ME. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON. I REOPENED A NEW CASE (100130-000604). SO FAR I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HANDLING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS, BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO GET THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA OR ITS DEALER. THIS IS NOT A SMART WAY OF SOLVING AN ISSUE. I FEEL DISAPPOINTED, ANGRY AND HELPLESS. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES,WHICH MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND. TOOK IT BACK TO FRED HAAS TOYOTA ON TWO TO THREE OCCASION, THEY CLAIM NOTHING WAS WRONG EACH TIME. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WHICH I TOLD THEM ABOUT,STILL NOTHING WAS DONE. WE HAVE 5 YEARS TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF & MY FAMILY. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, DRIVING IN A RAMP, THE CAR WILL SLIDE BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM IF I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. MANY TIMES, IN A STOP AND GO SITUATION, I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE AND I HAVE NOTICED WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE CAR WILL DRIFT INTO OTHER LANES. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR IN MY LANE. MY CAR ALMOST SWERVED OUT OF CONTROL AND I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 500 MILES. I ATTRIBUTED THAT SPECIFIC INCIDENT TO A CROSS WIND HOWEVER I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY IN THE APPROPRIATE LANE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 1500 MILES ON THIS CAR. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 12/10/10

MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN SEPT '09. IN OCT. 09, MY CAR WAS ON ABOUT A 10 DEGREE INCLINE, FOOT ON THE BREAK, WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I TOOK IT TO METRO TOYOTA IN JANUARY AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MGR. WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME & REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE '10 CAMRY'S BECAUSE OF THE NEW 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION. I SAID I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS NORMAL & ASKED HIM TO REFER THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA & CALL ME BACK. NOTHING EVER HAPPENED - SO IN FEB. I CALLED THE SERVICE MGR AGAIN WHO CALLED ME BACK A WEEK LATER & SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE. *TR

UPDATED 111/17/10

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH HAS THE DEFECTS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION INVOLVING OUT-OF-CONTROL ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. THIS CAR PRESENTS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL HAZARD TO MYSELF AND TO OTHERS AND I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE SEVERELY DEALT WITH FOR PUTTING THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AHEAD OF PROVIDING A SAFE CAR THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS COULD TRUST - AND FOR THEIR DECEPTION IN ATTEMPTING TO HIDE, COVER UP, DISMISS THE PROBLEMS AND NOT DEAL WITH LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS WELL BEFORE THIS TIME. TOYOTA'S ACTIONS AND LACK OF ACTION HAS PUT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AT RISK TO THE POINT OF CAUSING MULTIPLE DEATHS AND INJURIES ON OUR HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. A ONCE TRUSTED AUTOMOBILE COMPANY HAS ABANDONED THE PRINCIPLES THEY MUST ADHERE TO IN BUILDING AN AUTOMOBILE - FIRST AND FOREMOST, PROVIDING AN AUTOMOBILE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY HAVE THUS ABANDONED THE CUSTOMER, CAUSING NOT ONLY DEATH BUT IMMENSE DISTRESS AMONG MILLIONS OF CAR OWNERS WHO CAN NO LONGER TRUST THE CAR THEY PURCHASED - AT GREAT EXPENSE - AND NOW SEE ITS VALUE SINKING RAPIDLY. MY CAMRY HAS LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. I EXPECT AND DESERVE FAIR COMPENSATION FOR THE TRUST AND MONEY THAT I PUT INTO THIS COMPANY FOR A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! NOW. *TR

MY 2 MONTHS OLD 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS IN ACCIDENT DUE TO NOT ABLE TO STOP. THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED BUT GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT THE WALL. THE RESULTING DAMAGE WAS BROKEN FRONT AXCEL, INFALTING BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS ETC.. THE TOTAL REPAIR COST WAS AROUND $14000.00 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SHE IS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. SHE HAD MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT, THE TOYOTA RECALL WAS NOT MADE PUBLIC SO I IGNORED HER COMPLAINT. *CN

I APPROACHED THE MAIN INTERSECTION IN MY 2010 CAMRY FROM A SIDE STREET AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE INTO THE MAIN INTERSECTION. I COLLIDED WITH AN ONCOMING CAR CAUSING APPROX. $3400. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. ONLY THE BODY DAMAGE WAS CORRECTED ON THE VEHICLE. NO INTERNAL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AS OF YET. *TR

I ASKED IF THEY PLANNED TO FIX IT DURING MY LAST SERVICE VISIT AND THE ANSWER WAS "NOPE." WHEN ASKED THAT THEY DO FIX IT, THE ANSWER WAS, "NOPE!". YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IN APRIL WHEN THE PEDALS ARE GOING TO BE FIXED. I HAVE HAD NIGHTMARES OF SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE. THIS IS NOT THE CAR I THOUGHT I PURCHASED MONTHS AGO. *CN

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 30 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. *KB THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY BOLTED FORWARD. *JB THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT TOYOTA BUY THE VEHICLE BACK OR REPLACE IT. UPDATED 06/21/10*JB THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAS SINCE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AGAIN.

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP DUE TO A COMPLICATION IN THE ACCELERATOR LEVER AND FLOOR MAT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TGW

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WHEN I WAS ON MY 30DEGREES INCLINED DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ON DRIVE AND I TOOK MY LEGS FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AS IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND NOT ON D. THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE DATE WAS 9/5/2010 NOT 9/5/2009. *TR

2010 CAMRY LE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOU GO OVER EVEN A SLIGHT DRIP IN THE ROAD/HILL THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ONLY LIGHT UP THE ROAD FOR APPROX 15 FEET. ONCE YOU GET ON A LEVEL ROAD THE LIGHT APPEAR TO PERFORM PROPERLY. *TR

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS NOTICED ON OCCASIONS BEFORE THE KNOWN RECALL. THE VEHICLE STILL DOES IT IN REVERSE EVEN AFTER TOYOTA DID THE REPAIR (PLACED THE INSERT IN THE GAS PEDAL). THE ACCELERATION IN REVERSE IS FREQUENT. I NO LONGER FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE, BUT IT IS MY SOLE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE, DRIVEWAY, AND WENT UP MY STREET (HUNDREDS OF YARDS) WITHOUT USING THE GAS PEDAL!

BOUGHT MY 2010 CAMRY LAST AUG. NOTICED SUDDEN SPEEDS ONCE IN A WHILE. CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. HERE RECENTLY; I HAD THE RECALL REPAIRS DONE. IT STILL FEELS AS IF THE CAR WANTS TO SPEED WITHOUT ME FOOT ON THE GAS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT CLUTCH SYSTEM VS THAT OF OLDER CARS. IT DOESN'T FEEL NORMAL TO ME. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I NEED IT FOR MY JOB WHICH DEMANDS ALOT OF DRIVING. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SWAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGES WAS 3,000. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ

WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND RAN INTO THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. ( UNCOMMANDED ACCELRATION) I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER CURRENT RECALL. *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT IT DOESN'T RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD TRAVEL FROM LANE TO LANE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATED AND INCREASED IN SPEED WHILE THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT HE SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

IN AUGUST 2009 I PURCHASED A 4-CYLINDER AUTOMATIC 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING DELIVERY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HESITATED WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF GAS AND IT WILL STALL. IT TAKES A NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO THE DEMAND FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT ACCELERATION WILL SMOOTH OUT AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HOWEVER, SEVEN MONTHS LATER THE HESITATION IS STILL THERE. FROM POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH CAMRY WHICH TOYOTA HAS KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS BUT INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM THE COMPANY HAS TRIED TO ADDRESS IT THROUGH TSBS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EG056-06 AND EG036-07. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH 2010 CAMRY AND EXPERIENCE OF MANY OTHER 2010 CAMRY OWNERS POSTED ON THE WEB IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST. IN ADDITION TO BEING A DESIGN FLAW IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT REACT NORMALLY WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY. CAR'S HESITATION BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED CAN LEAD DRIVER TO MISJUDGE THE TIME NEEDED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. REGRETFULLY THIS IS JUST ONE OTHER SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS OPTED TO IGNORE. IT MAYBE WORTHWHILE TO NOTE THAT THIS ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEM IS TIED TO THE SAME ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND ACCORDING TO MANY EXPERTS MAYBE THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF CAMRY'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN JULY 2009. I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM VISITING RELATIVES IN NJ. IN EARLY AUGUST. I WAS ON A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY LEADING INTO 290 WORCHESTER FROM THE MASS PIKE AUBURN,WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. I REACHED A SPEED OF 85MPH, SO I PUNCHED THE PEDAL WITH MY FEET AND IT DISLODGED. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE PRIME TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SACO,ME.'S SERVICE DEPT. IN NOV. WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THEY HAD ME REMOVE THE FLOOR MATS. I RECENTLY HAD THE RECALL REPAIR, SO FAR THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANOTHER INCIDENT, BUT I AM STILL LEERY ABOUT ACCELERATING QUICKLY AND HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO TEST PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED MORE THAN INTENDED.

ON AUGUST 25, 2009, AT 11:30 AM WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND INSTALL SYLVANIA BRIGHTER BULBS BUT TOYOTA WOULD ALLOW THEM. EVENTUALLY THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SET TO TOYOTA COMPANY SPECS AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT THEY COULD DO. (MILEAGE IN 188 MILEAGE OUT 247 AT KINGS TOYOTA ON 8/25/09). WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 2,800 MILES ON OUR CAMRY AS OF TODAY. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AFTER IT GETS DARK. TOYOTA TOLD US THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAT THEY CAN DO.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON AN INCLINE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY IN VISIBILITY AS A RESULT OF POOR ILLUMINATION FROM THE HEADLIGHTS.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) ON 8/10/9 WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE, VIN [XXX]. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AT LEAST TWO TIMES FOR TWO DEFECTS. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS: GAS PEDAL, FLOOR MAT, ELECTRONICS ETC. SINCE AUGUST WE HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE 4,200 MILES BECAUSE ARE AFRAID OF SUDDEN EXCEL RATION AND OTHER PHENOMENA THAT MIGHT OCCUR. MOREOVER, WE HAVE LOST A SUBSTANTIAL SUM ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERSHIP. THEY LIE, MISLEAD, AND GIVE OUT WRONG INFORMATION. THERE IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA AND ALL THEY DO IS DENY. *TR

DEFECTIVE HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE PLUS AN UNBELIEVABLE RUN-A-ROUND FROM TOYOTA. ON 8/10/09 AT 9:00 P. M. WE NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILLS GAVE US 4FT. VISIBILITY. GOING UP HILLS IT GAVE US 4 FT. OF VISIBILITY. VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WAS CUT OFF BY A BLACKNESS. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

ON 8/13/09 @ 9:00 AM, MY WIFE TOOK THE 2010 CAMRY IN TO ADJUST AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MECHANIC TOLD HER THAT HE ONLY HAD SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND THERE WAS NO MORE ADJUSTMENT. TOYOTA RESPONDED TO MY COMPLAINT AFTER THEY RECEIVED A COPY OF MY LETTER TO THE SENATOR. ON TUESDAY MARCH 2, 2010, I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT BEECHMONT TOYOTA, AND A FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST WITH TOYOTA MOTOR SALES INC. NOTE: I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT KINGS THE DAY WAS BRIGHT AND CLEAR AND IT WAS DAYLIGHT WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER DRIVING MANY MILES, THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT 'NO MATTER HOW LONG HE DROVE IT, IT WASN'T GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.' PROBLEM UNSOLVED. WHEN YOU DRIVE AT NIGHT IN PITCH-DARK CONDITIONS IT'S AS IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN A BOAT WITH THE LUMEN OF THE LIGHT SURROUNDING ALL, THE DARK SHROUD STILL EXISTS AND VISIBILITY IS SEVERELY RESTRICTED. I HEARD NO MORE FROM THE EXECUTIVE ANALYST AT TOYOTA. NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 05/11/10. *JB

MY 2010 CAMRY HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES. KNOW ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ACCELERATION SURGE I'M EXPERIENCING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THEY SENT ME TO DIFFERENT DEALER. DEALER HAD IT FOR A DAY AND SAID THE SAME THING "CAN'T DUPLICATE" I THINK THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SCHOOLED TO SAY THIS. I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND TOLD HIM TO WATCH THE RPM DIAL WHEN I GO TO STOP. HE SAW THE RPM DIAL MOVE UP TO ALMOST 2000 WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. HE HAD ME DRIVE ANOTHER 2010 CAMRY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD A 98 AVALON AND A 03 CAMRY THAT DID NOT DO THIS. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS THE WAY THESE NEW CARS DOWN SIFT AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE OLDER TOYOTA'S. HE ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE I'M NOT 100% SOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL DOWN SIFTING. I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO ARBITRATION. I HATE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I LOVE MY NEW CAR...I'M JUST REALLY NERVOUS DRIVING IT. *TR

HAVE 2010 CAMRY NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASE CAR STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS MAKING NOISE, WOULD CHECK WITH OUTSIDE TECH HAD TO CALL THEM AFTER WAITING FOR OVER A WEEK. SERVICE DEPT. MGR TELLS ME IT IS NORMAL THAT ALL CAMRYS MAKE THE NOISE THAT IT IS THE ABS ACTUATOR. NEW CARS SHOULD NOT BE MAKING A LOUD NOISE. IF THIS IS NORMAL WHY DIDN'T THEY KNOW WHAT IS WAS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK CAR IN? SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME TO TURN THE RADIO ON AND I WOULDN'T HEAR THE NOISE.

THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO OUR CLAIM OF UNRESOLVED WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUES, (IE, UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION), ASSOCIATED WITH OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED AT CAIN TOYOTA IN NORTH CANTON OHIO ON 7/30/09. BELIEVING THAT TOYOTA HAS INACCURATELY ASSIGNED THE CAUSE OF THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION & RESULTANT DEATHS & INJURIES, (NAMELY FAULTY FLOOR MATS AND/OR A STICKING GAS PEDAL SHAFT) WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN OUR 2010 CAMRY FOR MONTHS AS INDICATED BY THE CURRENT 1073 MILES RECORDED ON THE ODOMETER. WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER UNINTENTIONALLY OR BY MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE TOYOTA IS MISIDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS TOYOTA ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THIS AVOIDANCE TACTIC IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT ADOPTED BY FORD/FIRESTONE IN THE NUMEROUS YEAR 2000 EXPLORER ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN DEATH AND INJURIES. AFTER FIRST DENYING ANY WRONG-DOING,FORD,(NOT FIRESTONE), ADMITTED TO THE SAFETY HAZARD SUCH THAT WE WERE COMPENSATED BY FORD FOR BOTH OUR 1993 & 2000 EXPLORERS. WITHOUT DOUBT THE EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE NHTSA IN THE EXPLORER ACCIDENTS AND RELATED SAFETY ISSUES WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MOTIVATING FORD MANAGEMENT INTO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR EXPLORER OWNERS. (I KNOW, BECAUSE WE POSSESSED TWO EXPLORERS THAT BENEFITED FROM FORD'S CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY. AT THIS TIME WITH TOYOTA WE BELIEVE THAT THE SAFETY HAZARD(S) ARE FAR MORE SERIOUS AND THE TOYOTA "DENIAL STAGE" IS FAR MORE ENTRENCHED IN THE MINDS OF TOYOTA MANAGEMENT POSSIBLY DUE TO THEIR LONG RECORD OF EXCELLENT SAFETY. HOWEVER, JUST ONE ACCOUNT OF THE 4 DEATHS ON 8/28/09 IN CALIFORNIA WHEN AN OFF-DUTY HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER, EXPERIENCED WITH MANY TYPES OF VEHICLES, DROVE FOR SOME 5 MILES AT SPEEDS OF 120MPH WAS SUBJECT TO UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION IN HIS LEXUS "LOANER". TOYOTA'S LOGIC IN BLAMING THE FLOOR MATS REFLECTS TECHNICAL INCOMPETENCE AT BEST AND OUT-OF-CONTROL STUPIDITY AT THE WORST. WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT TOYOTA'S SAFETY RECORD HAS BEEN EXCELLENT IN THE PAST BUT EVEN THE DEITY HAS MADE MISTAKES!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A BUILDING.

THE CAR DIDN'T STOP BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL GOT STOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK , IT OCCURRED ONCE , WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT . PARTS WAS REPAIRED , I DON'T HAVE THE OLD PARTS OR THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A RENTAL CAR ( 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ) . *TR

I DON'T CARE IT IS HAVING MIND OF ITS OWN AND I SUGGESTED TO THEM IT IS NOT FLOOR MATS ETC...

MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY, INSTEAD IT MADE A ZOOMING NOISE, LUNGED FORWARD AND STOPPED BEFORE THE COMPUTER ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THERE WERE NO FAILURES DIAGNOSED WITHIN THE COMPUTER. THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CALLED AND HE FILED A CLAIM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

HEADLIGHT PROBLEM - WHEN DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ADEQUATELY LIGHT UP THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN MAKING A TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT YOU ARE BLINDSIDED...VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
