2010 Toyota Camry

I OWN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE ACCELERATOR RECALL. FIRST, WHEN I PUT THE KEYS IN MY CAR AND START IT, IT WILL START TO ACCELERATE TO 2000 RPMS FOR 30 SECS TO A MINUTE BEFORE GOING BELOW 1000RPMS. ALSO, WHEN I DRIVE AROUND TOWN, THE CAR WILL REMAIN ACCELERATED EVEN AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL OR EVEN AFTER I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND IF MY CAR IS NOT PART OF A RECALL, THIS COULD BE MORE OF A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM (EITHER WITH THE ELECTRIC CHIP OR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL I HAVE) THAN WHAT EVERYONE THINKS NOW. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER 2-3 TIMES (PRIOR TO THE RECALL) AND THEY SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR ALL CAMRYS. BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT NORMAL. *CN

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

IN TRYING TO PARK THE 2010 CAMRY TOYOTA IN THE GARAGE, THERE WAS AN ACCELERATOR FAILURE IN THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY PICKET UP GREAT SPEED CAUSING A CAR CRASH AND DAMAGE. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA, TODATE - 14 DAYS LATER - THE PROBLEM IS NOT FULLY RESOLVED. IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA ADMINISTRATION IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITIES. WE NEED YOUR HELP TOO. *TR

2/5/2010 ON AUGUST 10, 2009 WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON THE WAY HOME 9:00 P. M. WE NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILLS GAVE US 4FT. OF VISIBILITY. ALSO TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, AT RIGHT ANGLES WE HAD LIMITED VISIBILITY. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY BY PHONE AND A LETTER ON 8/11/09. THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN WE NOTIFIED THE DEALER. THE SALESMAN TOLD US TO TAKE IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ON 8/13/09 @ 9:00 AM, MY WIFE TOOK THE CAMRY TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE MECHANIC TOLD HER THAT HE ONLY HAD SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT, AND THAT HE ADJUSTED THE LIGHTS. UPON DRIVING IT AGAIN AT NIGHT WE STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER. THEY GAVE US A CASE NUMBER, AND HE TOLD US TO CONTACT OUR DEALER AGAIN. 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. THEY TOLD US IN IS UP TO COMPANY SPECS. *TR

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. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONFORMED TO THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20. UPDATED 3/8/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY. UPDATED 07/09/10.*JB

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

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
