On 9 dec 2010, i drove a rental car, 2011 toyota camry (blue) from virginia back to new jersey (nj). the car had 3316 miles when i rent on 8 dec 2010 in nj. at approximately 6:35 pm edt on 9 dec 2010, i was driving in the most left express lane at 60 mph in prince george's county in maryland. the driver from my right hand passenger side tended to pass me from the right, and that car was also very close to me. i could not even see the rear light of that vehicle. i was forced to slow down the 2011 toyota camry to avoid collision, but the car could not simply slow down. in order to avoid the collision, i shift part of my car to the shoulder in my left hand side. then i discovered a car parked on the shoulder with no signals/lights. i put on brakes the 2011 toyota camry really hard to the floor, but the car could not slow down and could not stop completely. the brake system in the 2011 toyota camry was obviously failed and it was even accelerated during the last few seconds prior to the collision. the 2011 toyota camry was finally hit right onto back of the parked car (on the shoulder). after the severe collision at the front driver side, none of the airbags in the 2011 toyota camry was deployed from this sever front driver side collision. most of all, i was not able to stop the 2011 toyota camry due to its braking system failure! the mileage after the collision was 3595 and the total number of miles driving during this trip was 279 miles (8-9 dec 2010). i was hurt severely in the lower back/lumbar spine area. i was very lucky that i was survived from this severe car accident. *tr

On november 30, 2010 our 2011 camry was involved in an accident. the camry was struck by a 1999 honda crv, the point of impact was behind the right front headlight. the crv continued to travel along the right front quarter panel, breaking the right front tire and stopped at the front of the right front passenger door. the estimated speed of my camry was 10mph and the honda crv was traveling at approximately 40mph. the front air bag on the camry deployed but none of the side curtain air bags deployed. the impact of the vehicle caused my daughter, riding in the backseat on the passenger side, to hit her head on the window. the impact caused the window to shatter. a witness at the scene observed her stocking cap fly out the rear window. my daughter was taken to the doctor and was cleared and we were advised to observe her for the next 24 hours to make sure she did not have a concussion. the doctor also stated that she was lucky to be wearing the stocking cap as it helped cushion the blow. the damage on the camry was severe enough to total the vehicle. i tried to get an answer from toyota as to why the side curtain air bags did not deploy but as of yet i have not received a response. *tr

Heading east on rt. 41 and upon intering an intersection on a green ligth i slowed to allow 2 cars to pass from the oncoming east traffic before making a left turn north onto a 4 lane street. upon accelerating to make the turn, the car hit the right curb at a high rate of speed causing me to quickly steer to the left to stop me from hitting the on coming traffic from the north.. i managed to cross two lanes but in the third lane was hit by an oncoming south bound vehicle.. my car was then stopped by the left hand curb. the other vehicle was demolished and $8,000 damage was caused to my front end. the air bags in the demolished car were deployed but mine were not. i feel as though the vehicle suddenly excelerated causing the accident so after having the car repaired and checked i could not feel safe in it so traded it off the one that i could. *ln

It had only been about 1 or 2 months since i had purchased the vehicle and one day when i got in the car the cover of the side driver air bag was hanging. i called toyota dealership and they said to take it back. they basically glued it back. this happened another 2 times but they said it wasn't a defect. they said it was due to the texas heat. the cover is super glued on but when i go thru a rough road the air bag light turns on and off. for the last few months the air bag light has stayed on permanently.
