AT 4500 MILES THE NORMAL INDICATORS OF "NEED MAINTENANCE SOON" APPEARED ON THE ALERT SCREEN. SOON THEREAFTER I HAD A "CHECK BRAKING SYSTEM" LIGHT COME ON WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE MODE CAUSING THE PARKING BRAKE SIGN TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH I LET GO OF THE FOOT BRAKE. DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ERRONEOUS ALARM. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF I SPENT TIME DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ON THE ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY (WHICH OF COURSE I DID NOT). THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING 20 MILES AND IN PARK, THE ALERT SYSTEM SHOWED "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM". THE MANUAL STATES THIS IS A SERIOUS ALERT AND DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS ON COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO TELL ME AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND TO ONLY WORRY IF THE ALERT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN GIVEN AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THESE ALARMS ARE CONTINUING TO COME ON. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL THESE ALARMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY AT ALL TIMES.

8/11/2017

WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME ON MY 2017 CAMRY XLE 2 NIGHTS AGO (CLEAR NIGHT, DRY ROAD, GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS) I HIT THE BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A NOISE, WITHOUT BRAKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ALREADY DRIVING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ELSE I WOULD HAVE HIT ANY CAR THAT HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF ME. I PANICKED AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED A LITTLE SHORT OF THE CROSS TRAFFIC, BUT PAST THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO LOG OF THIS EVENT IN THE CAR'S "LOG" AND BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THERE WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT! THE NEXT DAY, THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING WHEN I DROVE THE CAR IN TO SERVICE (3 MILES), BUT IT TROUBLES ME THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A NEW CAR AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT TOYOTA SERVICE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAD HAPPENED. REALLY WORRIED!

10/30/2017

IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO AFFECT ON SLOWING THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 69-80 FEET (ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, MY LAWN AND MY NEIGHBOR'S LAWN) IT CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S SHED. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR , SOME BACK PAIN AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHED.TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING IT INTO FIRST NEUTRAL GEAR AND THEN PARK BEFORE ANY DAMAGE. THEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PUT IN FIRST, NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS CONDITION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.

ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AT APPROX. 7:37 PM I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT IN MOTION. BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION I NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I THEN CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION AND BOTH LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AT APPROX. 7:45 PM I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH. AT ABOUT 7:47 PM ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 60 MPH TO SPEEDS OF APPROX. 40-45 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT IS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT STILL THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TAKING NOTICE OF MY IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, SO I USED MY LEFT FOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE POSITION AND IT REMAINED IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I PANICKED AT THAT MOMENT AND I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DITCH CAUSING PERSONAL MINOR HEAD INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY FRONT PASSENGER. THE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FRONT AND REAR FENDER WERE PROVED OBVIOUS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM WERE FILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

I JUST BOUGHT TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 2017. THIS CAR HAS VERY SENSITIVE STEERING AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A 1-2 DEGREES OF VERY LOOSE, FLUID, NO-RESISTANT MOVEMENT SPACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LACK OF ANY RESISTANCE IN THE STEERING MAKES THE DRIVER NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP CORRECTING THE STEERING FOR THE CAR TO STAY IN LANE. ACTUALLY, A SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE THE CAR TO JUMP IN THAT DIRECTION. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT ALSO REQUIRES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION AND IT MAKES ME TIRED, ESPECIALLY MY HANDS. MY CAR HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEMS (EPS). I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER SHOP. THEY CHECKED IT WITH A COMPUTER AND THERE WERE NO EPS FAULTS. ALL CAME OK. THEIR HELP ENDED THERE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

2/23/2018

I PURCHASED THE CAMRY FROM DEALERSHIP, THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO PUT GAS IN IT THE FILLER NECK HAD A LOT OF DIRT IN IT. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND WITH A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THERE THEY PUT A NEW CAP ON IT, AND INSISTED THAT WOULD FIX THE DIRT PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER I WENT TO PUT GAS IN CAR AND IT HAD A LOT OF DIRT INSIDE THE FILLER NECK AGAIN. I SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA SERVICE AND WITH CONTACT WITH TOYOTA THEY INSISTED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WITH DIRT GETTING INSIDE WAS NOT A PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THE EVAP SYSTEM HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH TO ALLOW FOR THIS TO OCCUR AND NO SYSTEM DEFECT COULD BE IDENTIFIED.

I BEEN EXPERIENCING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY MAYBE ABOUT 3 TO 5 HOURS INTO DRIVING. THE CAR JERKS AND PICKS UP SPEED A FEW MILES PER HOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I HAVE MANY ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN DUPLICATED. THE CAR ALSO HAS A SLUGGISH TAKE OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DRAGGING AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND MORE PHOTOS.

WHILE TRAVELING OVER A SPEED BUMP, DRIVEWAY ENTRY, OR RAILROAD CROSSING, A LOUD MECHANICAL CLUNKING SOUND OCCASIONALLY COMES FROM THE CAR. THE CLUNKING SOUND IS DEFINITELY FROM THE FRONT, AND APPEARS TO BE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. THE SOUND OCCURS WHEN THE CAR COMES DOWN TO ITS LOWEST POINT OF SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS CLUNKING SOUND OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY OVER SPEED BUMPS, AND OCCASIONALLY AT DRIVEWAY ENTRIES, AND RAILROAD CROSSINGS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WITH THE BRAKES ON AND OFF. THE SOUND HAS MOST FREQUENTLY OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEEDS AND OCCASIONALLY OCCURRED AT NORMAL STREET SPEEDS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND WHILE IT IS STRAIGHT. THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD, AND THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED BETWEEN 8K-9K MILES. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, OR ANY CONDITION THAT WOULD DAMAGE THE SUSPENSION, AND THE SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED FOR THE ISSUE YET. THE CAR WILL BE INSPECTED AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE OF 15K MILES. THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE EXACTLY REPLICATED DURING A TEXT DRIVE, BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE A NUISANCE.

PASSENGER FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT MISSING TWO RETAINING NUTS WHEN DELIVERED BY SELLING DEALERSHIP (BEV SMITH TOYOTA, FT PIERCE ,FL).

2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WOULD NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AND ON TWO OCCURRENCES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING COMMANDED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED 3 OF 4 OUT OF SAFETY.

HE TOLD ME TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE ENGINEERS HAVE NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS.

THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO PAY FOR A BRAKE JOB EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY KNOW THEIR IS AN DEFECT WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS TO TOYOTA BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
