When car was completely stopped at a stop sign, car made a loud noise and started shaking. then car accelerated on its own. brakes locked. car wouldn't stop in neutral or in park gear. it caused an accident by rear ending the car in front of me. car accelerated very quickly and steering wheel locked as well. passenger in car heard the noise too. the car accelerated abruptly on its own.
Complete replacement required of both rear wheel bearings, backing plates, brake calipers, pads and rotors, with recommended replacement of tires, on a vehicle with less than 52,000 miles. because the vehicle is out of warranty, the initial repair estimate was almost $4000.00. the dealer, however, agreed to repair for about $2500.00 (pass through cost of parts). this matter came to light upon hearing a 'screeching' noise when the vehicle was moving - the screeching noise suggesting a wheel bearing was failing. manufacturer alleges replacement is needed due to exposure of these parts to road salt. however, i have owned numerous other vehicles that were exposed to road salt and never experienced such problems. contrary to the manufacturer's allegation, i suspect a design or manufacturing defect in these parts. in fact, about the same time as the above problem, another like vehicle that we own (2017 model with about 15,000 miles) experienced a frozen rear brake caliper (allegedly for the same reason, namely, expose to road salt) that is being replaced under warranty.
Just about completely stopped at stop sign at end of street - without warning car accelerated extremely fast, crossed 2-lane street - drove into church parking lot on an incline turned and back across the 2-lane street and my vehicle hit neighbor's truck head on. both cars totalled. had absolutely no control of steering and brakes did not stop the vehicle. police took report - my passenger and i told the same sequence of events as well as a neighbor who saw everything that happened. every single airbag went off.
When turning to a highway on-ramp after slowing for the turn then trying to accelerate on the ramp the vehicle would not accelerate. i would have to release and re-apply the accelerator to accelerate. the dealership they said the brake light switch was out of adjustment causing brakes to take over speed control. they adjusted the brake light switch and problem went away. this is a safety concern because the expectation when on a highway on-ramp is that acceleration is going to occur, traffic behind me could not only be iratethatiam not accelerating(startingaroad rage incident)but it could also cause an accident from the individual behind me not expecting a slow down on the ramp. toyota made me pay for the repair even though i have and am still covered by the purchased extended warranty and this was a safety concern that was caused by a default in manufacturing process and nothing i could have done to the vehicle to cause the problem. documentation provided shows what my complaint was to the dealer and what dealer did to fix it with my personal information redacted.
After failing brakes a major impact happened and the airbag did not deploy
Pulling our 2014 camry into our garage at very low speed when the rubber brake pedal pad came off causing my foot to slide off the pedal resulting in the car striking the step leading into our house. i brought our car back to the toyota dealer where we purchased the vehicle. the service department informed me that this was not their first complaint regarding the rubber pad falling off. the only guidance they offered me was to use "gorilla glue" to render the rubber brake pedal pad more secure. i believe that the ease in which the rubber pad can separate from the brake pedal is a serious safety issue.
Toyota unintended acceleration. when stopping at exit from parking lot car suddenly and powerfully accelerated pressed hard on brake and turned off ignition to stop it same thing happened-my driveway 15 minutes later.
The car had been given us stall peoblems for quite a while.the toyota place could not duplicate the events.on feb 2 1918 my wife drove over to my daughters house .she pull into yard,and when she applied the brake about 30 feet from house,the car exceletrated into house wide open.she said when she applied brake it went all the way to the floor.all airbags deployed.the house was damaged,knocking out the floor joist.she had pulled into house at 113 ida st.hot springs ar.the house sits about 50 feet from street.since the accident she is having memory problems.the vehicle was declared total loss.we purchased a 2017 toyota camry le,with about the same miles on it.we are having the same stall problems with it.if you stop the pull out and turn into traffic,sometimes it will stall1 to 3 seconds.we are deeply worried about getting hit by oncomming drivers..
The abs traction and break light came on. you turn can off turn it back on they go off. then today couldn't get it out of park.
While at a low rate of speed and usually coming to a stop, the brake, abs, and stability traction control dash lights will illuminate in the dashboard and will not turn off until car is restarted. this happens almost every time i use vehicle since about two months ago, it does not seem to affect normal braking during nice weather outside. i am concern during wet weather, the abs and/or traction control may fail and cause an accident. car has only about 16,000 miles on the odometer, but unfortunately is out of 3 year warranty.
Twice when i had to suddenly hit the brakes, the car did not stop. the second time, the steering locked up completely so i could not steer or stop the vehicle. eps light came on, stayed on all day until took to dealer who claimed light was not on and nothing wrong with vehicle.
On may 25, 2017, while pulling into parking space at a shopping center, my 2014 toyota camry accelerated out of control thru the parking space without me pressing the gas pedal. i pressed the brakes and it did not stop the car. my car continued to travel at a high rate of speed thru the parking lot embankment and went thru brushes/shrubs which is where the car stopped after it blew a tire and was stopped by the shrubs. due to the damage under the car it was a total loss.
While slowly pulling into a parking place, car suddenly accelerated. applied the brakes, but they did not work. crashed into a bush and the side of the building where i work. put car in neutral and applied brakes again..then put it in park. airbags did not deploy and there is approx. $1,000 damage to front fender and headlight on drivers side. am leasing this car and lease is up in under 90 days. i want to trade this immediately but want to report issues with this car so that toyota will fix it before someone else gets it.
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
