IN ADDITION, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE LOCKED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER A WHILE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE PURCHASED A NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD, MO ON MARCH 21, 2014. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WOULD RACE IN FIRST GEAR, ONCE EXCEEDING 4,000 RPM'S. MY FOOT WAS OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND I COULD ONLY USE THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IT CONTINUED TO RACE. IN ALL *3 INSTANCES, MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE IN THE CAR. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AS TRAFFIC CAME UP FAST BEHIND US. EACH TIME I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO SELL US A NEW CAR, THE LAST TIME WITH EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND FOLLOWUP PHONE CALLS. WE HAVE HAD ALL OUR SERVICE DONE AT RELIABLE TOYOTA AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER (DISPUTE SETTLEMENT PROGRAM) TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM, HOPING FOR SOME HELP. THEY INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CAME BACK WITH 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER RE:THE PROBLEM.' THEY HAD NO ANSWER WHEN I ASKED HOW SHOULD THIS BE DONE IF WE ARE IN TEXAS OR OHIO VISITING OUR ADULT CHILDREN OR WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOME AND THE TRANSMISSION RACES WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE. THEIR ANSWER, 'CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOUR DEALER.' EVEN IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN HERE IN BRANSON, MO, WE ARE 30 MILES AWAY FROM RELIABLE TOYOTA. I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN WHERE THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. *NOVEMBER, 2014 WAS FIRST. JUNE 4, 2015 WAS SECOND. JULY 28, 2015 WAS LAST.

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IN NOVEMBER 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK LEFT TIRE BLOWOUT. THE SIDE OF MY CAR IS DAMAGED AND THE LOWER PANEL BELOW THE DOORS ALSO THE FRONT BUMPER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE IS NOT COVERED BY THEM EVEN AND THE CAR IS FULLY COVERED (WOW). THE MANAGER AT TOYOTA TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE TIRE DEALER AND DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 6 TOYOTA SINCE 1984 AND REALLY THOUGHT TOYOTA WAS A GREAT COMPANY. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A,INC. DEPT. WC 11 19001 S. WESTERN AVE. TORRANCE, CA 905501 800-331-4331 TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIRED MY CAR IN TOTAL '. I CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURE (BRIDGESTONE RETAIL OPERATIONS, LLC - 800 847 3272) AND TOLD THEM OF THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOOK ALL THE DETAILS AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER (727790) AND TOLD ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH 2 WRITTEN ESTIMATES AND SHIP THE DAMAGED TIRE TO THEM. AFTER A WEEK, I SHIPPED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND THE WRITTEN ESTIMATES TO BRIDGESTONE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATED THAT MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENY, DUE TO LOW AIR IN THE TIRE. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAD SUFFICIENT AIR IN THE TIRE AND THESE TIRES ARE LONG LASTING THEY TOLD ME. I WENT ON THE WEB SITE HTTP://WWW.NITROFILL.COM/ AND EVEN IF THE TIRE HAS LOW AIR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWOUT. I CONTACTED (1-877-246-3455) THE NITRO FILL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BRIDGESTONE IS A "JOKE". TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONE WHO SELECTED BRIDGESTONE FOR TIRE SERVICE. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ON SOLVING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS NEW AND FULLY UNDER WARRANTY. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT SO I AM COUNTING ON YOUR HELP ... THANKS
