I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN TOOK OFF. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ONLY LAST WEEK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND 10000 MILE CHECK UP(ONLY HAVE 3700MILES ON CAR) AND ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE CAR DOES THIS MARE TIMES THAN NOT BUT THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2012 (4-CYL) WHICH I BOUGHT ON 08/29/2012. ON 12/31/2012 (THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND DRY, IT WAS A CLOUDY DAY, NO RAIN, SNOW, ICE ON THE ROAD) WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT, TURNING INTO A LANE, AFTER I STOPPED PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR KEPT GETTING FASTER AND FASTER (THE GAS PEDAL DIDN'T GET STUCK AND MY FOOT WASN'T ON IT), WHEN I STARTED TO TURN INTO A LANE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND TO AVOID A CRASH I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE OTHER SIDE, I ENDED UP DOING A DIAGONAL SKID INTO THE OTHER LANE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND KEEP GOING. SINCE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LOCKED UP THE CAR JERKED ME PRETTY HARD AND MY NECK AND ARM STARTED TO HURT SINCE THEN AND I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE PHYSICAL THERAPY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR SERVICE (FROM 1/2/2013 - 1/10/2013) AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP I'VE BEEN HAVING THE RPM STICKING AT 1.3 ALL THE TIME SO NOW IT'S WORSE THAN WHEN I HAD IT LAST. THE CAR DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY LIFE OR OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. AFTER CALLING TOYOTA AND EXPLAINING ALL OF THIS THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT TOYOTA IS THE ONE THAT CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, THE DEALER'S ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO ACCEPT THE CAR AS A TRADE IN AND ROLL OVER THE RESIDUAL VALUE INTO A LOAN FOR ANOTHER CAR, BUT IT ISN'T MY FAULT SO I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MORE IN PAYMENTS FOR A CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. BEFORE THE INCIDENT ON 12/31/2012 I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REASON, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT THE TIRES WEREN'T GRIPPING ON DRY ASPHALT, THE DEALER TOPPED OFF THE AIR AND SAID IT WAS FINE, BUT THE CAR KEPT DOING THE SAME THING AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN UNTIL WHAT HAPPENED ON 12/31/2012. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS WERE UNCOMFORTABLE TO SIT ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SEATS WERE TAKEN OUT AND SPRINGS WERE ADDED BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A BAR UNDER THE SEAT THAT WAS SURROUNDED BY 1/4 INCHES OF FOAM THAT WAS CAUSING THE DISCOMFORT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE SEATS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,710. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SPRINGS IN THE SEAT. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, HE STATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT WAS STILL THERE, EVEN MORE SO WITH THE EXTRA FOAM. UPDATED 02/14/13

EXCESSIVE FRAME CRACKING NOISE. HAS BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS A FACTORY ISSUE AND THERE WILL BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED SPECIFIC TO PROBLEM. SINCE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE CAR WINDSHIELD IS ALSO MAKING NOISES. THE CAR IS 2 MONTHS OLD WITH 2000MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SERVICED REPEATEDLY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JULY OF 2012 AND NEVER DROVE IT AT NIGHT UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH LATER. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN AN UNLIGHTED AREA THERE IS A VERY DARK SHADOW THAT GOES ACROSS THE ENTIRE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH INHIBITS YOUR VIEW GREATLY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I TOLD THEM THAT I CAN BARELY SEE BEYOND 10 FEET OF THE ROAD UNLESS I HAVE MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND WAS CONCERNED OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS. WELL I DID HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LISTEN TO ME NOW. SOMEONE HAD LEFT A CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED ON AN ON RAMP AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME THE OTHER NIGHT I NEVER SAW THE CAR PARKED THERE DO TO THE POOR LIGHTING FROM MY CAR AND AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE TRAVEL LANE I SLAMMED INTO THE PARKED CAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED HOWEVER THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AND I CANNOT IGNORE THIS. THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEW TOYOTA CAMRY THAT CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO HAVE A DARK SHADOW ACROSS THE TOP HALF AT NIGHT. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND CLOSE FRIEND HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT AND THEY AGREED IT GREATLY INHIBITS YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A KNOCK/TAP/CLUNK SOUND COMING FROM THE ROOF IN MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO TOYOTA AND THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP OVER 4 TIMES TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AS TIME PASSES, IT SEAMS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM AND ARE NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMERS AS THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE BEING SOLD, WITH NO TSB ISSUED, TAKING OFF THE HEADLINER MULTIPLE TIMES HAS CREATED ADDITIONAL NOISES. *TR

WHILE PARKING AND PREPARING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF WAL MART/TARGET IN ABINGDON, MARYLAND THERE WAS A THUMBING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT HAS NOT BEEN MADE AND ALREADY THERE IS A DEFECT. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN WILSON, NC AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA ON 8 DEC 2012. I AM TOTALLY DISPLEASE WITH THE IRRITATING AND ANNOYING NOISE. MY WIFE CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO SWITCHING OUT CARS TO HAVE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. SHE STATES THAT THE CAR IS MAKING THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING, I WANT TO JUST RETURN THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THAT CAN BE DONE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT BEING INVESTIGATED. IT IS A SHAME FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $30K TO HERE A THUMBING NOISE. THE CAR IS A V6, CAMRY SE, 2012. I'VE SPENT OVER 160K ON TOYOTA'S IN THE LAST 14 YEARS. REQUEST ASSISATANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THER IS HAIL OR BIG RAIN DROPS HITTING THE ROOF. *TR
