I am deeply concerned and appalled about the safety issue with the 2017 Toyota Camry, which rolled back while it was parked in the driveway of my parents’ house, and resulted in my mother’s foot being crushed. She is currently hospitalized and has been dealing with complications and damages related to this injury. At the time of incident, my father called 911 and paramedics arrived to the scene, and took my mom to the emergency room. I do not have a police report. This dangerous malfunction, which caused the vehicle to move despite being in a parked position, poses serious risks to driver and passenger safety. It is unacceptable that a vehicle of this nature could fail to securely hold its position, leading to injury. We are seeking a thorough investigation into this issue to prevent further harm to others. The vehicle is available for inspection upon your request.

2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 8 TIMES NOW FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AND A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WOULD NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AND ON TWO OCCURRENCES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING COMMANDED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED 3 OF 4 OUT OF SAFETY. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER ATTENTION THAT IT SHOULD TAKE 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A SAFETY FEATURE FIXED. HE TOLD ME TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE ENGINEERS HAVE NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS. THE CAR HAD BEEN IN APPROX. 8 TIMES NOW FOR A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOYOTA'S ARE KNOWN FOR THIS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO PAY FOR A BRAKE JOB EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY KNOW THEIR IS AN DEFECT WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS TO TOYOTA BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
