2011 Toyota Camry

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A COMPOST BIN, A FENCE, AND A SNOW MOUND, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY, BUT THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC OBD-II CODE WAS P2128. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS OPEN CIRCUIT 552011. THE COST WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW TO REPORT IT. ALSO, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (EAST COAST TOYOTA LOCATED IN WOODRIDGE, NEW JERSEY), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. ...UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF *JS

IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)

JULY 2016 I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY BANK ATM AT APPROX.2-5 MPH IN MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE CAR TOOK OFF. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR. I MISSED A CAR AND A VAN, WENT UP OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT A POLE. THAT STOPPED ME! I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. SOMEHOW NO ONE GOT HURT. I HAD 3 BLOWN TIRES AND THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW BROKEN OUT WITH DAMAGE TO THAT DOOR. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PULLED FROM THE BODY. THE CAR HAS DAMAGE TO THE TIE ROD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FRONT END ALIGNMENT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DONE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2011 CAMRY'S FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, AFTER A DEATH? THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE BACKING UP IN A PARKING AREA, THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT AND TWO PASSENGERS WERE NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD RECEIVE A RESPONSE WITHIN A MONTH. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,350. UPDATED 1/21/16 *SS; 04/19/18*JB *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION--ONLY WHEN RESUMING TRAVEL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I FIRST GET INTO THE CAR AND BEGIN TRAVEL. I AM CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND REALLY TRY TO EASE DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I STILL NOTICE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED, ONE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED (I AM IN MY 60S AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALSO DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF WHIPLASH OR DISCOMFORT WITH A SUDDEN START.
