22 MPG AT BEST ON HIGHWAY FOR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. *TT

ON A HOT DAY WHILE PARKED, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DEVELOPED A VERY LARGE CRACK. *TR

I NOTICED MY TIRES HAS UNEVEN TREAD WEAR BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD MY WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS FINE NOW I'M WORRIED BECAUSE I HAVE A BUMPY RIDE AND ITS UNCOMFORTABLE, I JUST WISH THEY CAN DO A REMEDY ON IT.

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

PURCHASED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE NEW AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE TIRE MAINT. FOR 24K MILES AND IT WAS CUPPING TIRES OUT AT 15K THEY REPLACED THEM AND 15K LATER CUPPED AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT THEY DID ALIGNMENT SO WHAT THEN, TRIED TO FILE LAWSUIT AND WAS TURNED DOWN AFTER TOYOTA SENT SOMEONE DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT SINCE THEN EVERY 15-20K MILES NEW TIRES GO ON BECAUSE THEY ARE CUPPED TOYOTA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG NOW THE CAR HAS 150K MILES AND I'M ON MY 7TH SET OF TIRES, HAVE USED ANYTHING FROM A 80K MILES YOKOHAMA DOWN TO THE CHEAPEST SET OF SUMITOMO TIRES AND IT DOESN'T MAKE VERY MUCH DIFFERENCE AS TO THE MILEAGE YOU GET FROM A SET, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER A DOZEN 4 WHEEL ALIGHNMENTS DONE AND THEY HAVE BEEN BALANCED HUNDREDS OF TIMES NOTHING HELPS. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES AND THEY LASTED 15K. ON THIS SET OF TIRES THAT IS ON THE CAR NOW I LET THE TIRE DEALER TAKE OVER THE MAINT. AND THEY ROADFORCE BALANCE AND ROTATE EVERY 5K MILES AND IT HASN'T HELPED ANY, THE TIRES ARE CUPPED BAD AND THEY ARE AT 20K MILES NOW. I AM CHANGING ALL THE STRUTS AND ALIGNMENT AGAIN TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO--PROBLEM IS THE REAR WINDOW DURING NIGHT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MANY CAR HEADLIGHTS HITTING THE WINDOW AND THE REARVIEW(MIRROR-- THE IMAGE ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS LIKE VIEWING A WET SPIDER WEB WITH A SCINTILLATING GRID BECAUSE OF THE WIRES EMBEDDED IN THE GLASS,(WHETHER FOR DEFROST OR RADIO RECEPTION IDO NOT KNOW) THIS GRID IN THE REAR WINDOW CAUSES A DISTORTED IMAGE --IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE IMAGE SUFFERS FROM 'IMAGE STATIC' WHICH CAUSES THE DRIVER TO SORT OUT THE HEADLIGHTS FROM THE 'STATIC'--IT IS VERY TIRESOME DRIVINGAT NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY--TRY IT AND YOU SHOULD SEE THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT--I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN OTHER CARS--IT IS UNSAFE, THE WINDOW SHOULD NOT BREAK UP THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH IT -VERY DISTRACTING. *TR

EXPERIENCED A COARSE SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION DURING UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT ESPECIALLY AROUND 20 MPH AND BETWEEN 35-37MPH. ON MORE THAN ONCE OCCASION I HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOUD THUMP NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN AND IS IN PROCESS OF DOWNSHIFTING AROUND 20MPH. OTHER TIMES SIMILAR BEHAVIOR HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS OF 35-37MPH. *TR

BRAND NEW 2011 CAMRY, 4 CYL, 19 MPG CITY, 21 MPG HIGHWAY AFTER MULTIPLE REPEATED MEASUREMENTS. DRIVING IN MANUAL MODE DOES NOT HELP AS THE MANUAL MODE IS VERY MISLEADING ON THE STEPTRONIC AS WELL. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BEYOND MY CONTROL. THE CAR ACCELERATED ACROSS THE STREET AND ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND CRASHED INTO THE FENCE OF A SCHOOLYARD ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. WE NARROWLY MISSED CHILDREN PLAYING. THE BACK OF THE CAR IS TOTALED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE CAR IS NOW LOCATED IN A BODY SHOP SUGGESTED BY GEICO, MY INSURANCE CARRIER. WE ARE ASKING THEM NOT TO PROCEED WITH REPAIRS UNTIL WE CONTACT THIS AGENCY AND TOYOTA AMERICA. *TR

WHEN I TAKE OFF AND GET TO EXACTLY 25 MPH, I HEAR A THUMPING FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. SOUNDS LIKE THUMPING IS COMING FROM THE TIRE. IT ONLY HAPPENS UNTIL IT GETS TO 25 MPH. WHEN YOU GO PASSED 25 MPH IT STOPS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES AND THEY NEVER HEAR THE NOISE. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY GAS SWISHING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS A THUMPING, NOT A SWISHING. *KB

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55-60 MPH IN A SUNNY DAY, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 ON THE DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY CRACKED FROM UPPER LEFT CORNER AND GRADUALLY EXTENDED TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER STRIKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD ERRONEOUSLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH A SWITCH TO ENGAGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, THE SIZE AND LENGTH OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST SIGNIFICANTLY OBSTRUCTED THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

VERY HARSH/COARSE SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION DURING UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT ESPECIALLY AROUND 20MPH AND BETWEEN 35-39MPH. ALSO ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION A LOUD THUMPING SOUND HAS BEEN HEARD COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN AND IS IN PROCESS OF DOWNSHIFTING AROUND 20MPH. *TT

MY VEHICLE AT BELOW 40 MPH, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, THOUGH I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL GENTLY. THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME DURING THE RUSH HOUR BECAUSE MY BOTH KIDS ARE IN THE BACK SEAT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. SOME ONE PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. IT REALLY BOTHERS ME AFTER SPENDING LOT ON MONEY ON THIS CAR, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT SAFE AND ITS REALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND THE CITY WITH MY FAMILY THINKING ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT. *TR

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. GOING UP HILL ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE FRONT SIDE ( PASSENGER) AND PASSENGER DOOR. UPON IMPACT THE FORCE OF THE HIT CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED AND THAT VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE PASSENGER LOST CONSCIOUSNESS SINCE SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. *BF

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (4 CYL., XLE) A YEAR AGO: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SOMETIMES SLOWLY AFTER A PAUSE OR UNEXPECTEDLY AND ABRUPTLY AS IT SEARCHES FOR GEARS, AND IT RACES INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY AT START-UP; IT COASTS A FEW INCHES AFTER I PUT IT INTO PARK, EVEN ON LEVEL GROUND. POWER STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION, EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD SURFACES. CRUISE CONTROL IS SLOW TO RESPOND TO ADJUSTMENTS FROM LEVER ON STEM. DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMS, AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS TO DIAGNOSE, THAT THE CAR PERFORMS AS DESIGNED, SO MY COMPLAINT WILL NEED TO BE WITH THE DESIGN. *JS

UPON STOP AND THEN THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD THE FUEL IN THE TANK MOVES CAUSING THE BAFFLE IN THE TANK TO MAKE A BANGING HAPPENS IN FULL TANK FUEL OR 3/4TH OF THE TANK. INFORMED THE DEALER AND NO PROPER DIAGNOSE ACTION RESPONDED. *TR

MY WIFE AND I ARE RETIRED IN FLORIDA. WE PARKED OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH KEYLESS IGNITION IN OUR GARAGE AND BROUGHT THE KEY FOB WITH US INTO OUR HOME. MY WIFE EITHER DID NOT PUSH THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON HARD ENOUGH OR FORGOT TO PUSH THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE DID NOT HEAR THE 3 SHORT BEEPS TELLING US THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE KEY FOB WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO OUR HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING IN OUR CLOSED GARAGE. CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES ENTERED OUR HOME CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND LETHARGY. OUR HOME CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SOUNDED AN ALARM. WE INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WE LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING IN THE GARAGE FOR 90 MINUTES. THE GARAGE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 100(F) DEGREES. THERE WAS A LARGE POOL OF WATER UNDER THE CAR FROM CONDENSATION FROM THE CAR AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. WE WERE SICKENED BY THE CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES AND CAME CLOSE TO LOSING OUR LIVES. THE KEYLESS IGNITION OPTION IS TOO DANGEROUS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE IN DESIGN THAT TURNS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE KEY FOB LEAVES THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON IS NOT DEPRESSED.

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. FROM A STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD THE FUEL IN THE TANK MOVES CAUSING THE BAFFLE IN THE TANK TO MAKE A BANGING SOUND. THE SOUND IS LOUDER WITH MORE FUEL IN THE TANK. *TR

JUST 5 SECOND AFTER PULLING OUT FROM PARKING SPACE, WHILE GOING AROUND THE SCHOOL BUS AND TRYING TO AVOID THE CAR GOING TOWARD ME, PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR SPEED UP AT WHOLE POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT. IT FILED APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET REACHING SPEED AT LEAST 50 MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECOND. I WAS TRYING TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO STOP IT, AND AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME, I MANAGED TO JUMP ON A CURB AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A BUILDING AND AFTER MY CAR FLIPPED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE SOMETHING, INSIDE THE CAR (EITHER MECHANICAL OR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM) PREVENTED ME STOPPING THE CAR TIMELY. THERE WAS NO INJURY, BUILDING WERE DAMAGED JUST SLIGHTLY, MY CAR WAS DESTROYED , BUT IT HAS A FULL COVERAGE. THE WHOLE CRASH WAS TAPPED BY A SECURITY CAMERA. IT CLEARLY SHOWS THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR, WHICH EVERYBODY, WHO WATCHED IT, BELIEVE COULDN'T BE DONE BY PERSON, BUT MOSTLY BY A CAR ITSELF. THAT SIMPLY LOOKS FOR ME SOMETHING THE SAME AS IT WAS IN PREVIOUS TOYOTA RECALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INACCURATE BY 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER SPECIFICATION THEREFORE THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,700.

AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 75, WHEN THE ENGINE IS LIGHTLY LOADED, THE COMPUTER CONTROLLED THROTTLE CANNOT DECIDE IF IT OUGHT TO BE SLIGHTLY OPEN OR COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE WORST CASE IS WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED DOWN A GENTLE HILL. THE THROTTLE CYCLES INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN OFF AND ON. WHEN THE THROTTLE SHUTS, THE TACH WILL SUDDENLY DROP ABOUT 150 RPM AND THE CAR NOTICEABLY DECELERATES. OFTEN, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO REALIZE THAT THE THROTTLE SHOULDN'T BE ALL THE WAY OFF, AND COMMANDS THE ENGINE TO SPEED UP. ENGINE SPEED THEN JUMPS ABOUT 200 RPM, WITH AN ANNOYING SURGE AND DROPS BACK ABOUT 50 RPM A SECOND OR SO LATER. OCCASIONALLY THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT 'WAKE UP' AND I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY THROTTLE TO GET THE CAR TO RETURN TO THE DESIRED SPEED, AT WHICH POINT IT WOULD ACCELERATE THROUGH MY TARGET SPEED AND I WOULD BACK OFF, ONLY TO HAVE THE CYCLE REPEAT. OCCASIONALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE THROTTLE, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO HOLD SPEED AS IF ON CRUISE CONTROL. AT ONE POINT, I PROCEEDED ABOUT A HALF MILE AT 60 MPH WITH MY FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR. SEVERAL TIMES, I HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM OVERRUNNING TRAFFIC AHEAD WHEN THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO REDUCED THROTTLE. WHEN DECELERATING TO A STOP FROM CRUISING SPEED (ABOVE 50 MPH), PARTICULARLY DOWN A HILL, AFTER THE THROTTLE HAD INITIALLY CLOSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE NORMALLY TO ABOUT 40 MPH, AT WHICH POINT ENGINE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY INCREASE ABOUT 200 RPM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO GENTLY ACCELERATE. THESE UNCOMMANDED THROTTLE EXCURSIONS WERE MILD. WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE AS COMMANDED, SPEED COULD ALWAYS BE REDUCED WITH LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. BUT, THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENTLY ANNOYING AND IS A SYMPTOM THAT THE COMPUTER CONTROLLED THROTTLE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS RENTAL CAR EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY FOR A WEEK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 18 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY AND CRASHED INTO AN ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED TRAUMA TO THE HEAD AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. ..UPDATED 06/16/14 *BF

IN AUG. OF `10 I PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS ABOUT 6500 MILES ON IT AND AFTER DRIVING IT HOME FROM NIAGARA FALLS YESTERDAY, ABOUT 100 MILES, I RAN IT THROUGH A CAR WASH. I DROVE IT HOME ABOUT A MILE AND MADE TWO STOPS ON THE WAY. PARKED IN THE GARAGE I WENT OUT TO GET THE CAR AROUND NOON TODAY (19 HOURS AFTER THE WASH). THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AS THE WHEELS WERE ALL TIGHTLY LOCKED. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. FINALLY ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS MOVED SLIGHTLY AND IN SO DOING THE BACK END OF THE CAR WENT SIDEWAYS INTO THE GARAGE WALL DOING MINOR DAMAGE. I DID NOT TRY IT ANY MORE UNTIL AROUND 24 HOURS AFTER THE CAR WASH AND IT STILL IS TIGHTLY LOCKED AND WILL NOT MOVE. THE TEMPERATURE LAST NIGHT WAS ABOUT ZERO AND 20 DEGREES TODAY. I FEAR IF I REALLY FORCE IT MAY DO DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS FOR 60 YEARS, WASHED MANY IN AS COLD WEATHER AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. IF I WAS NOT RETIRED AND HAD TO GO TO WORK I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, PRESSED THE BRAKE AND CAR DIDN'T STOP, ACTUALLY SEEMED TO SPEED UP. REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT BODY SHOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO RETRIEVE THE BLACK BOX FROM THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE THE DEALER AUTHORIZATION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 03/24/11*LJ UPDATED 1/5/11 *CN

MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DOESN'T SHIFT SEAMLESSLY AS TO WHAT TOYOTA IS CLAIMING. IT'S BEEN VERY ANNOYING. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH THE MASTER TECHNICIAN IN PITTS TOYOTA DUBLIN GA ADMITS THAT ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO SHIFT SEAMLESS. TOTALLY CONTRASTING COMMENT. *TR

I AM REPORTING THE SAME SPEEDOMETER VARIANCES AS ORIGINALLY NOTED IN ODI CASE NUMBER: 10444688. MY SPEED REFLECTS 35 MPH ON MY SPEEDOMETER, WHEN IN FACT IT IS ONLY 33 MPH. ALSO, IF I AM GOING 55 - PER THE SPEEDOMETER, THE CAR IN FACT IS ONLY GOING 52 - 53 MPH. THIS DIFFERENCE IS CONSISTANT WITH AN ACTUAL SPEED BEING ABOUT 5% LESS THAN WHAT IT ACTUALLY DISPLAYS ON THE CAMEY'S SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE 'CHECKED' THE ACTUAL SPEED BY 1) A POLICE SPEED MONITORING SIGN/DISPLAY THAT IS PUT INTO VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO BOTH CHECK YOUR SPEED AND TO NOTIFIY YOU OF THAT ACTUAL SPEED IN THE HOPES THAT YOU WILL SLOW DOWN; AND 2) BY CHECKING MY TOMTOM GPS UNIT WHICH PROVIDES A TRUE READOUT OF MY ACTUAL SPEED MEASURED BY ITS 8 SATELITES IN THE SKY. IT LIKEWISE ALWAYS SHOWS A LOWER 'ACTUAL' READING THAN WHAT MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWS. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE THE 'INACURRACY' OF THE READ SPEED TO BE ON THE LOWER END OF THINGS - I.E., YOU ARE GOING SLOWER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE, THAN TO HAVE IT REVERSED - WHICH WOULD BE BOTH MORE UNSAFE AND CAUSE YOU TO GET SPEEDING TICKETS. HOWEVER, IN THIS DAY-AND-AGE, WITH 'DIGITIAL' INSTRUCTMENTS/CHIPS'; YOU WOULD THINK THAT 'MEASURING SPEED' CORRECTLY WOULD BE VERY SIMPLE TASK! ...MAKES YOU WONDER, IF THEY CAN'T DO THIS CORRECTLY - WHAT ELSE, OF A MORE SERIOUS NATURE, IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 20 MPH AND THE CONTACT USED ALL OF HER WEIGHT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED OTHERWISE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 800.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE, SOMETIMES IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AS IF IT HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER TESTED THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE AND SINCE THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL THE DEALER THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED SINCE THAT WAS UNSAFE AND CAUSED HER TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,400. UPDATED 04/28/11

POOR GAS MILEAGE SINCE NEW. THE VEHICLE ONLY GETS 22 TO 23 MPG AND MOSTLY HWY DRIVING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS HE SMELLED AN ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN HE TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT OFF. AFTER A WHILE HE BECAME SICK AND WAS HOSPITALIZED, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED HIM TO BECOME SICK. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE FILTER UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX MAY NEED TO BE CHANGED. THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, SMELL THE ODOR AND A TECHNICIAN FROM THE FACTORY WAS NOTIFIED. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE WHERE THE ODOR WAS CAME FROM; HOWEVER, HE ADDED A SPECIAL FILTER TO THE VEHICLE TO KEEP THE ODOR OUT. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS HE SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING AREA, IDLING FORWARD SO THAT I COULD BACK UP AND DROP OFF MY COLLEAGUE AT HER HOUSE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BARELY IDLING FORWARD, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PEDAL WAS FLOORED AND THE CAR WAS SURGING FORWARD WITH A PARKED VEHICLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. I JAMMED ON THE BREAKS, AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. BOTH THE PASSENGER AND I WERE TERRIFIED. I WENT HOME, AND WILL NEVER DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. I DO NOT TRUST TOYOTA TO FIX IT OR OWN UP TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. THE ACCELERATOR FLOORED ITSELF, AND THEN STUCK THERE. I COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A PEDESTRIAN, MY PASSENGER OR MYSELF. *TR

THE WINDOWS CONSISTENTLY STICK WHEN IN THE UP POSITION. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. MANY TIMES THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON HAS TO BE FORCED TO GET THE WINDOW DOWN. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A RESIDUE THAT KEEPS APPEARING ON THE TOP OF THE WINDOW WHICH SITS ON A RUBBER SEAL. THE RUBBER SEAL AT THE TOP OF THE WINDOW IS BEING WORN. CONCERN: IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY IF THE WINDOW NEEDS TO BE OPENED IT MAY FAIL TO OPEN.

ON 9 DEC 2010, I DROVE A RENTAL CAR, 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY (BLUE) FROM VIRGINIA BACK TO NEW JERSEY (NJ). THE CAR HAD 3316 MILES WHEN I RENT ON 8 DEC 2010 IN NJ. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:35 PM EDT ON 9 DEC 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOST LEFT EXPRESS LANE AT 60 MPH IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY IN MARYLAND. THE DRIVER FROM MY RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE TENDED TO PASS ME FROM THE RIGHT, AND THAT CAR WAS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO ME. I COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE REAR LIGHT OF THAT VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY TO AVOID COLLISION, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SIMPLY SLOW DOWN. IN ORDER TO AVOID THE COLLISION, I SHIFT PART OF MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER IN MY LEFT HAND SIDE. THEN I DISCOVERED A CAR PARKED ON THE SHOULDER WITH NO SIGNALS/LIGHTS. I PUT ON BRAKES THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY REALLY HARD TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND COULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS OBVIOUSLY FAILED AND IT WAS EVEN ACCELERATED DURING THE LAST FEW SECONDS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION. THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS FINALLY HIT RIGHT ONTO BACK OF THE PARKED CAR (ON THE SHOULDER). AFTER THE SEVERE COLLISION AT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS DEPLOYED FROM THIS SEVER FRONT DRIVER SIDE COLLISION. MOST OF ALL, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DUE TO ITS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE! THE MILEAGE AFTER THE COLLISION WAS 3595 AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DRIVING DURING THIS TRIP WAS 279 MILES (8-9 DEC 2010). I WAS HURT SEVERELY IN THE LOWER BACK/LUMBAR SPINE AREA. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS SURVIVED FROM THIS SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

NEW MODELS OF TOYOTA PASSENGER VEHICLES HAVE EXCESSIVELY BRIGHT LED TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS WHICH CAN/WILL IMPAIR THE VISION OF DRIVERS IN TRAILING AUTOMOBILES, CAUSING DANGEROUS UNBEARABLE CONDITIONS. *TR

MY SUNVISOR DOES NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY UP AND IS NOW BLOCKING MY DRIVING VISION. I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF THE REGULAR POSITION AND MOVE IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THIS NOW PARTIALLY BLOCKS MY DRIVER SIDE VIEW. READ CSC-10046281-9258 BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY MORE VEHICLES AFFECTED THAN ADVERTISED. *TT

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2010 OUR 2011 CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAMRY WAS STRUCK BY A 1999 HONDA CRV, THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT. THE CRV CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND STOPPED AT THE FRONT OF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF MY CAMRY WAS 10MPH AND THE HONDA CRV WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE CAMRY DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER, RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. A WITNESS AT THE SCENE OBSERVED HER STOCKING CAP FLY OUT THE REAR WINDOW. MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS CLEARED AND WE WERE ADVISED TO OBSERVE HER FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS TO MAKE SURE SHE DID NOT HAVE A CONCUSSION. THE DOCTOR ALSO STATED THAT SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING THE STOCKING CAP AS IT HELPED CUSHION THE BLOW. THE DAMAGE ON THE CAMRY WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO GET AN ANSWER FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT AS OF YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *TR

HEADING EAST ON RT. 41 AND UPON INTERING AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGTH I SLOWED TO ALLOW 2 CARS TO PASS FROM THE ONCOMING EAST TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN NORTH ONTO A 4 LANE STREET. UPON ACCELERATING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE CAR HIT THE RIGHT CURB AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY STEER TO THE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM HITTING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC FROM THE NORTH.. I MANAGED TO CROSS TWO LANES BUT IN THE THIRD LANE WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING SOUTH BOUND VEHICLE.. MY CAR WAS THEN STOPPED BY THE LEFT HAND CURB. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DEMOLISHED AND $8,000 DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO MY FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS IN THE DEMOLISHED CAR WERE DEPLOYED BUT MINE WERE NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXCELERATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHECKED I COULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT SO TRADED IT OFF THE ONE THAT I COULD. *LN

THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE HOME DRIVEWAY OF THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. AS THE OWNER WAS TURNING INTO HIS DRIVEWAY, A TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AS THE DRIVER/OWNER HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE SIDE ROCK BARRIER OF THE DRIVEWAY. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA WHO INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. BUT ANOTHER INCIDENT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED INVOLVING THE CAR THIS YEAR WHICH WILL BE REPORTED ON A SEPARATE FORM WHICH SHOWS US THEIR IS AN UNSAFE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE THAT REQUIRES TOYOTA TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

- CAR'S SHAKING (VIBRATIONS AT BOTH - SLOW AND HIGHER SPEED), - IMPACTS/DAMAGES THE LIFE SPAN OF STEERING, SUSPENSION AND STRUTS, - TIRES NOT IN BALANCE (WHEEL BALANCING WAS NOT DONE BY TOYOTA). ============================= 1.DEFECTIVE CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA & ITS DEALER TO ME (CUSTOMER). 2.CAR WAS NOT TESTED BY TOYOTA/DEALER ON TIRES & VIBRATION/SHAKING BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMER. 3.WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. 4. BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE TIRES FITTED BY TOYOTA & NOT TESTED PROPERLY BY TOYOTA, DAMAGES HAPPENED ON THE OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR - SUSPENSION & STEERING SYSTEMS. 5.CUSTOMER - DRIVING SAFETY WAS ALSO PUT ON HUGE RISK, AS UNTESTED CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA. 6.WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. 7.BY HAVING THAT DEFECT IN TIRES, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR'S SUSPENSION, STRUTS & STEERING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDUCED, BECAUSE OF RUNNING WITH THIS VIBRATION & SHAKING. 8.WITH THIS EXISTING DEFECT IN CAR (IT WAS PRESENT BEFORE DELIVERY & COULDN'T BE FIXED BY TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER FOR 6-MONTHS), CUSTOMER'S COMFORT & DRIVING EXPERIENCE IS TOTALLY RUINED. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE TO THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING DISCOMFORT & THE SAFETY RISK OF CUSTOMER'S LIFE (WHILE DRIVING THE SHAKING & VIBRATING CAR). 9.NOW, AS YOUR SUPERVISOR OFFERED "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS CAR. IT SHOWS THAT TOYOTA KNOW IT VERY WELL THAT CAR IS SO MUCH IMPACTED & NOW HAS SHORTEN THE LIFE SPAN OF CAR (BECAUSE OF THESE DAMAGED TIRES & IMPACTED PARTS IN THE CAR) SO TOYOTA IS ONLY OFFERING "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED SERVICE TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES / DEFECTS IN THEIR QUALITY. *JS

WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 4. BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE TIRES FITTED BY TOYOTA & NOT TESTED PROPERLY BY TOYOTA, DAMAGES HAPPENED ON THE OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR - SUSPENSION & STEERING SYSTEMS. ----------- 5. CUSTOMER - DRIVING SAFETY WAS ALSO PUT ON HUGE RISK, AS UNTESTED CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA. ----------- 6. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 7. BY HAVING THAT DEFECT IN TIRES, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR'S SUSPENSION, STRUTS & STEERING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDUCED, BECAUSE OF RUNNING WITH THIS VIBRATION & SHAKING. ----------- 8. WITH THIS EXISTING DEFECT IN CAR (IT WAS PRESENT BEFORE DELIVERY & COULDN'T BE FIXED BY TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER FOR 6-MONTHS), CUSTOMER'S COMFORT & DRIVING EXPERIENCE IS TOTALLY RUINED. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE TO THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING DISCOMFORT & THE SAFETY RISK OF CUSTOMER'S LIFE (WHILE DRIVING THE SHAKING & VIBRATING CAR). ----------- 9. NOW, AS YOUR SUPERVISOR OFFERED "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS CAR. IT SHOWS THAT TOYOTA KNOW IT VERY WELL THAT CAR IS SO MUCH IMPACTED & NOW HAS SHORTEN THE LIFE SPAN OF CAR (BECAUSE OF THESE DAMAGED TIRES & IMPACTED PARTS IN THE CAR) SO TOYOTA IS ONLY OFFERING "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED SERVICE TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES / DEFECTS IN THEIR QUALITY. ============== - CAR'S SHAKING (VIBRATIONS AT BOTH - SLOW AND HIGHER SPEED), - IMPACTS/DAMAGES THE LIFE SPAN OF STEERING, SUSPENSION AND STRUTS, - TIRES NOT IN BALANCE (WHEEL BALANCING WAS NOT DONE BY TOYOTA). ============== *JS
