2010 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS THE NEW SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN I WAS COASTING TO SLOW DOWN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DISENGAGE AND DID NOT HOLD BACK ANYMORE. I CAME WITHIN A FOOT OF RUNNING INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS HAD HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT NEVER THIS CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE CAR REACHES AROUND 20MPH THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T HOLD BACK ANY LONGER AND YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD. IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING. ON MAY 22, 2009 I CALLED THE SALESMAN AND HE TOLD ME TO COME IN AND DRIVE ANOTHER 2010 CAMRY TO SEE IF THAT TRANSMISSION ACTED THE SAME SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE NEW SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC. I TOOK IT IN ON THE 22ND AND THE SALESMAN AND I TOOK A NEW 2010 CAMRY OUT FOR A DRIVE AND IT ACTED THE SAME WAY. SO THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT ALL THE 2010 CAMRYS WERE THE SAME AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. MY WIFE IS VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR AND AFRAID SHE WILL RUN INTO SOMEONE. WE HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM.WE ARE VERY CONCERNED NOW THAT THE OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN ABOUT THE CAMRY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFOGGER MALFUNCTIONED AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS WHEN IT IS WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT SHOULD REMAIN ON LOW AND IT WOULD CLEAR THE WINDOWS. THE CONTACT ADVISED THE DEALER THAT HE COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN IT REMAINED ON HE. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190.

ON 2/12/10 MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY RECEIVED AN ACCELERATION FIX. IN ADDITION I WAS INFORMED A FAIL-SAFE COMPUTER PROGRAM WAS PUT IN. ON 2/17/10 AS I WAS ENTERING MY PARKING SLOT, THE CAR DID AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE. I JAMMED BOTH FEET INTO THE BREAK. AFTER 3 SECONDS, AS MY CAR WAS CLIMBING UP A SNOW BANK, IT STOPPED. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING WHILE MY GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE SECOND LEVEL ON THE FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT: "IF BOTH ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSORS FAIL, OR IF ONE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FAILS, THE ECM WILL...RETURN THE ENGINE TO IDLE SPEED. HAD THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ONE MINUTE EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A HIGH CAR/PEDESTRIAN AREA AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE WHOLE EVENT TOOK 5-6 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE FIX DONE BY TOYOTA IS NOT THE FIX FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. UPDATED 03/08/10 *BF *TR UPDATED 07/01/10.*JB
