2014 Toyota Camry

WEIRD SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ACTIVATED. THE SMELL INDICATES MOLD BUILDUP WITHIN THE VENTS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS THAT MENTION THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (SOME PEOPLE ARE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD) AND MAY CAUSE DRIVER IMPAIRMENT AS A RESULT. VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA OFFERED SERVICES TO REPLACE THE VENTING SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAY. I AM LUCKY THAT IT'S ONLY WHEN I HAVE CIRCULATION ON WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WITH HEATING THE INTERIOR AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEARS (2012-2014) OF CAMRYS. THIS SMELL OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO GO AWAY WHEN NOT IN CIRCULATION MODE ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLS.

I SEEN THAT SOMEONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS BRAKING WHEN THEY PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAMRY AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS TRYING TO FIX THERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. SO, I HAD A PROBLEM HAVING MY LEFT FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. I JUST STOPPED TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. TRY EXCELLERATING THEN TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY WHILE STILL EXCELLERATING AND SEE IF THIS SLOWS THE CAR FROM EXCELLERATING. THAT MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

CAR FEELS VERY SLUGGISH LIKE SOMEBODY IS BREAKING ALL THE TIME WHEN ACCELERATING IT DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY. AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AT TIMES. I TOLD THEM SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT THAT I FELT THIS I ONLY KNOW WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE DUE TO AN ISSUE I HAD MY LAST CAR WHICH WAS A NISSAN ARMADA PATHFINDER 2004.

I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. INCIDENT OCCURRED SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 2016 IN CORINTH, TEXAS. APPROXIMATELY 5:20PM. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR. ROAD CONDITIONS CLEAR AND DRY. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 80F. DRIVING 30MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. WE HAVE THE RED LIGHT. BRAKES APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR - NO BRAKES AT ALL. IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVS UP TO VERY HIGH RPM AND UNINTENTIONAL, OUT-OF-CONTROL ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE. THE CAR GOES THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AGAINST THE RED LIGHT. NO CROSS-TRAFFIC OR OTHERWISE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH. THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION IS AGGRESSIVELY MOVED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CAR STOPS. BRAKING ACTION RETURNS. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN HOWEVER THE RPM RETURNS TO NORMAL. THE CAR IS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN AT 35 - 40MPH TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER - TOYOTA OF DENTON, TEXAS. IF THE CAR APPROACHES 50MPH THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV UP TO HIGH RPM HOWEVER BRAKING ACTION REMAINS NORMAL. THIS INCIDENT HAS LEFT THE OWNERS WITH NO CONFIDENCE IN TOYOTA. THE CAR IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. EVEN IF THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS SAY THE CAR IS GOOD TO GO, WOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR? NO WAY. AND WITH TOYOTA'S REPUTATION OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH HANDLING THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WOULD YOU TRUST THIS CAR? NO WAY. WE WANT TO BE DONE WITH TOYOTA. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SENT TO THE JUNKYARD. AND WE WANT THE PURCHASE-MONEY LOAN CANCELLED AND OUR DOWN PAYMENT BACK. AND WE WILL GO TO ANOTHER CAR MANUFACTURER. *TR
