I BOUGHT A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM GERMAIN TOYOTA, COLUMBUS OHIO LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO ON 10/26/2013, THIS WAS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 160 POINT INSPECTION AND 3 YEAR/36,000 AND 7 YEAR/100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WAS HARDLY 6 MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 8,274 MILES ON IT WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION. IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BACK IN DAYTON SOME MAJOR PROBLEM APPEARED WHILE DRIVING, FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING SOME SMALL NOISE BUT NO WARNING INDICATOR CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD, LATER ON AFTER ABOUT A MILE IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE I SLOWED DOWN FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE I-75 HIGHWAY EXIT. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND CROSSING BY AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AS I SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD, AND CONSIDERING THIS IS A CURRENT YEAR 2013 CAMRY MODEL WITH TOYOTA CERTIFIED AND VERY LOW MILEAGE THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSATISFACTORY AND PUT ME AND MY WIFE AT DANGER. I'LL ALSO TRY TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SEPARATELY, I'M ALSO NOT SURE IF TOYOTA OR THE DEALER HAD ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT OR WERE JUST CARELESS CONSIDERING THEY DID A 160 POINT INSPECTION AND SOLD THIS AS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR. CONSIDERING I BOUGHT THIS LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, I'LL TRY TO RETURN THIS TO THE DEALER AND IF THERE IS ANY HASSLE I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER IN THE COURT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO TEST OR LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER MAKING A TURN ONTO A ROAD, BEFORE ENTERING A PARKING LOT, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON. IT'S A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 3500 MILES ON IT - THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. I TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, PARK THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I CHECK THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW I CANNOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT IS STUCK IN PARK. I STEP ON THE BRAKE, I TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL TURNS FINE. THE GEAR IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK. I TRY MY CAR ONE MORE TIME AND IT IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK TRIES, HE PUTS HIS HAND ON THE HANDLE AND BEHOLD, IT SHIFTS OUT OF PARK AND CAN GO INTO R, N AND D. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS 'ODD' OCCURRENCE. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ON I80 IN PA OUR ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WARNING LIGHT FLASHED AND BUZZER SOUNDED. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE OVER A LANE AND THEN OFF ROAD. WE WERE LUCKY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF POWER SWITCH, WE WERE ABLE TO START AND ACCELERATE NORMALLY. WE NOTICED THAT OUR HYBRID 3013 CAMRY WAS THEN NO LONGER IN ECO MODE. WE THEN FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED. REACHING INTO THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT, I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE EV BUTTON WHICH TURNED OFF THE GAS ENGINE. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH ALONE TO KEEP UP A SAFE SPEED. WE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND LUCKILY WERE ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
