It has been noticed that there is a battery issue which allows for acid to seep onto the battery cables and leaves acid on top of battery terminal and cables. I know of several other toyota camry owners that have this exact same problem that affects their vehicle.this acid is corrosive and has lead to damaged components in the engine compartment.

I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd.i have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like i will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!!reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping.they replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but i had to pay the $50 deductible.they also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it.the ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior.whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...sounds like coming from side mirrors???i replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped.always have excessive brake dust on front wheels.transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time.rough idle after warm up.i bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it.most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...no heavy hauling ever.am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...i am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere.

We own a 1998 toyota camry vin [xxx], and we are the original owners of this car. About a one and a half years ago, we replaced the idle speed control unit for approximately $400.00.the camry had problems starting when it is cold, and the hayward california toyota dealer wants to charge us another $400.00 to replace the same part that they replaced about 18 months ago. The part is a toyota manufacturing part, and it cost about $250.00. Toyota has not recalled this part, and it should last longer than 18 months.i have talked with a number of auto repair shops, and they know that this part fails on the toyota camry. I have filed a complaint with toyota corporation reference number [xxx], but i do not feel toyota will address this problem. I have not heard from them, and i filed the complaint about two months ago.i am hoping that you will investigate this problem and let me know what you discover.your assistance is greatly appreciated.updated 07/24/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Oxygen sensors constantly fail.i have replaced twice and another is currently out.toyota extended the warranty instead of recalling and fixing the problem.the second o2 sensor was out within the extended warranty period but i didn't fix b/c i already had it repaired once.of 3, i was reimbursed for 1.
I am the first owner of my toyota corolla, which has 74,000 mile on it now.the car has been well maintained.however, there are some unexpected problems with the car.after i bought the car three and half years (march 2005), the check engine light went on and it was diagnosed that the evaporation system had malfunction and the charcoal canister and vacuum switch needed to be replaced.i had spent more than $600.00 to have this done.at that time i did not complain too much.however, the same thing happened again in november 2007, i had to spend another $600.00 to replace canister and valve again (after two and half years later). I believe that the two charcoal canisters had very bad quality!
In san diego earlier this year, at night, to enter heavy ast moving traffic from on ramp floored gas pedal in 2009 toyota camry with new heavy duty floor mats, and had max runaway acceleration.was able to stop with heavy brake pressure, hitting stop engine button didn't work.checked everything i could and tried again, same response, called 911 and got tow truck on the way.finally figured out floor mat had caught gas pedal and was holding it down.pulled floor mat back into place, and then no problem.told 911 as i recall to forget the tow truck.got up to 40- 50 or so mph.haven't reported this to toyota yet.
I noticed power outlets were loose info dealership, panel was loose as well, dealership replaced a pin and fix pwr outlets.this was in feb.. A month later power outlet panel loose again, dealership replaced pin, this has been happening so many times now,this time power outlet panel as fell to the floor board, i can't brake to well or accelerate with a panel by my feet. I have use the power outlet to run a dvd player and cell phone charger, panel has not drop after pulling the charger out, of power outlets.. Just when i'm driven down the road it falls, i have had another dealership look at thee problemand was info that thee panel was bad.

Toyota camry post recall fix - issues 1. Toyota camry car suddenly accelerated and brakes did not work. Car ended up in a ditch and needed to be towed2. Toyota camry recall fix was done 2 days before the incident. A metal shin was inserted into accelerator assembly pedal along with car software (break overrides accelerator). Really bad customer experience- no quick response to the issue- have roadside assistance but was denied any towing charger at the dealership- nobody called me for 2 days to let me know status of the car- lost my keys and kept me waiting.
Toyota sequoia ball joint recall svc performed, subsequently vehicle tires severely scalloping outer edges leading to tread fracture and tire splitting. Dealer svc mgr mike latham, maita toyota of sacramento, insists nothing is wrong with vehicle although he admits something is wrong with tires; insists that recall svc correctly performed and alignment within specs. Dealer refuses attempt to correct problem. Dealer offers to sell me new tires; effectively attempting to release hazardous and unsafe vehicle to me. Vehicle is under warranty both in mileage and time.dealer still has vehicle.
2005 toyota camry le v6gradually speed up to about 25 mph. Stop short (you don't have to lock them up, but stop quickly) then accelerate again.when i stop short, my transmission shifts into neutral, and it takes about 3 seconds to shift back into first. When it does, i get quite a jolt. Brought car back to dealer,they are saying it is normal.

Safety issue. Water found in toyota atf type t4.i want to report the following. Our company has recently bought several drums of toyota atf type t4, part number 00279-drmt4 from a toyota dealer, the drums were delivered in the period april - may this year, 2009.in two of those drums our customers have found water traits. The fluid had some precipitation. Also the fluid had an unusual color for toyota atf type t4. We've sent the oil for inspection and chemical analysis to an independent third party lab.i understand this can damage transmission which is vital for safe driving and can cause accidents for those who are already on the road at the moment. We want to see that all necessary measures including recalls for atf oil change have been taken - as soon as possible to prevent death and injures of those who have recently had their toyota atf oil changed. We also want from toyota to replace or reimburse those drums we've found problems with.
I have a 2005 scion tc that i purchase brand new from the factory. Recently i had my handle latch broken from normal use. I lifted it like you would normally do and it just snapped (broke). I then realized that it was framed or made with thin plastic that wouldn't last long on the car itself because if you apply normal pressure by opening it, the handle is not made to handle such pressure by the weight of the truck and glass. It's a hatch back. I notice numerous complaints from other scion tc owners on several blogs and websites. I have not attempted to fix it because i'm looking at parts alone $180 without labor. I was wondering if there's anything i could do besides filing a complaint. Thank you.
I have a lexus rx 330, 2004.starting in april 2004 right after i purchased it on march 31, 2004 i have had brake problems with this car.it would jolt when you were applying the brakes, and pull to the side.this was reported by phone, and during its first check up at 1000 miles.told they could not find anything.continued problem.told same at 5000 mile check up, but they replaced brake booster anyway.while backing out of drive brakes failed, and vehicle raninto a yard. Then brake light came on.lexus dealer sent car carrier to pick up.driver saw there were no brakes and light was on.told by dealership the brakes working and light on, but replaced brake boosters again.this time supposedly with another type.i was assured each time nothing wrong with car.kept driving it, and car would continue to jolt, and pulled to side while steadily applying brakes.even to the point it would break traction in rain.had car picked up again,,and they told me this time it was a chip which controlled the baffle system that controlled the brakes.i refused to let them work on it, and asked lexus at this time to buy the car back under the ga lemon law which was very clear about major system failure such as brakes.his buy back process has been going on since february.the car has been at the dealership unable to be driven.signed a contract with lexus to buy it back over 45 days ago and they still have not given me my money.

I have a toyota corolla 1997 and the gas tank is pressed so that it breaks. I have already changed two tanks in less than six months and tell me that looks like a factory flaw wanted to know if i could help?
Driver side mirror shakes vigorously during high speed traveling (65 mph) making unsafe for changing lanes or especially at night, it will disturbs the driver with bouncing lights.
Vehicle speed control:opened garage door with remote. Stepped lightly on gas pedal to enter garage. Car unexpectedly accelerated rapidly.stepped on brakes but car did not stop. Car crashed through interior garage wall and through closet in adjoining bedroom.couse of problem is being investigated. Repair not completed.
After having driven my prius nearly 15,000 miles in all types of weather (except snow) and on residential roads as well as interstate highways with no steering problems, on a single day on residential streets at 20 to 25 mph and gentle rain, it hydroplaned twice with damages each time to the car and to a fire hydrant once. Each event was while going around a gentle left curve at reasonable speed. The first time, i was able to correct and spin out 360 degrees with the left quarter-panel hitting a roadside garbage container. The second time, the car did not respond to any steering maneuvers nor the brakes when applied. The car stopped only after colliding with the fire hydrant. Significant damage was sustained in each collision. I have traveled this street several times daily, often on rainy days, and never before had any steering problems. It was as though something had changed in the steering control on this day. I was sober and unimpaired.
Second occurrence:may 26, 2006merging onto main highway into oncoming traffic.cruise control was not on.accelerated and gas pedal stuck.truck continued to accelerate, could not disengage pedal.brake pedal was also locked and could not depress it.after numerous tries, brake pedal finally engaged and gas pedal disengaged.called toyota dealer again and this time they are replacing the non-factory installed cruise control.one week prior to incident, they replaced computer system, something in the gas pedal itself and the cruise control computer.

2003 toyota corolla s - driver side seat belt cannot lock. Took car to toyota dealer for repair. Need to order parts - will take approximately one week to come in to replace and fix.
My complaint is about the nhtsa and the constant beratement of toyota. You have never raised this much stink over a domestic manf. It is clear to the general public that this whole deal is political to try and drive customers to gm, chrysler & ford. Since gm & chrysler is propped up by the government with the tax payers monies. The american people are not the fools you think they are. I would suggest that you wake up & listen to the people, it is no secret that all this is coming from the white house.wake-up !
Car started pulling to the right when travelling65-70 mph,leading to hitting a bridge wall and going down hill after that.suspension and steering heavily damaged, also damage to the body of car. I have been driving for more than 4 years now and this is the first time that i saw acar behave so strangely. Since toyota camry has so many complaints from consumers saying that the car pulls to the left, i am thinking if the car was tampered with before sale, causing it to pull to the right instead of left to keep the complaints at bay.. Also while driving for the 4 months that i had the car i noticed that the steering would turn to the right when ever i braked(i should have reported this at that very moment) unfortunate that i am doing this after been an horrible accident.
I had to replace the 3rd row seat belts in 2003 seinna 3 timeson each side.the seat belt locked at top and will not fit arround my children or it wastoo loose.it hasbeen a a safty issue numerous times when it broke on vacation , and my child had to seat up front.
After 5 months of purchasing a 2004 toyota sienna the transmission went out and was replaced. The vehicle continues to lag and lurch.
Severe vibration in steering when brakes applied 20+ months after purchase. Brought to dealer, deformed rotors,machined front disc brakes & replaced pads. When braking after this, vehicle pulled to the left. 24 months later had same severe vibration/brakes again. Researched complaints nhtsasite..many have same complaint to dealer again & they wanted tocharge me $99 to diagnose. I saidno & the mgr stevesaid we don't charge that fee for brakes. I advised i knew of tsb's issued for this car & shouldn't have sameproblem from 2 yrs ago. He said only 1 yr warranty on prev work, but he would take a look. Hesaid my rotors were warped &could not be machined again, only replaced, however brake pads arereplaced when they are2 ml &mine were at 7-8, &safe soeither replace rotors & pads $469 live w/ vibration untilpadsworn down to 2 mlthen dobrake jobe. I advisedi knew oftsb'sfor this problem &he said he alreadychecked &there aren't. I said check again & after waitingtold me there was a tsb but it had expired but in an act of "good will" he would order the part and do the repair to both front brakes free. I made an appt &went for repair. Repair order said only one side rotor and padreplaced. Now when i approach hgwy speed of 60-65 mph, steering wheel shimmies.people are having accidents due to these brake problems according to nhtsa complaints ¬hing is being done! iworry someone will be hurt because this problem is not deemed worthy of a recall. The design of the brakes is a problem.
Vehicle stalls and dies on highway almost causing wreck. Find out there is no fuel in tank even though fuel gauge reads 1/3. Toyota says tsb el010-00 addresses known defective 1999 and 2000 fuel gauges and also addresses some gauges inaccurately reading empty when 4 gallons remain, but my vehicle currently have 72545 miles and out of warranty so toyota will not pay for fix. No engine, no steering, no brakes, lots of traffic. I am in the navy and will be driving from florida to san diego next month enroute to japan in october. I called toyota corporate and they said they know about it but since it's only a tsb and not a recall, they can't do anything to fix it unless i pay for it myself. These are known defects since the truck got out of the tahara plant in japan for sale to the u.s.
Cannot shift selector leverout of park position.lexus dealer failed to identify and correct problem.
Toyota rav 4 2001, headlights fog up after one year. They are a sealed unit. I have had them replaced 3 time now because of this problem.they are not cracked or damaged in any way. The headlights just fogg up after about 1 1/2 years. The cost of the headlights are $500 and to install them it's $180. After they fogg up, the light is dimmer on the night headlights and can't see very good when the light is so dim.i was told by the toyota repair shop that this happens to the headlights all the time. Also on the lexus model that they also make.he told me it was a problem that toyota has not addressed. He just know that would happen again, because he replaces them all the time.that is unexceptible, the head should not be fogging up like that.why hasn't toyota mfg. Done something about this problem???? please help me find out. Pleaseeeeee. Thank you.
I purchased a 2007 toyota camry in march 2006.this new vehicle had several defects including the replacement of a dash by the dealer after delivery.the quality of the brake rotors on this vehicle are unsatisfactory.i have had the rotors replaced five times.the vehicle has approx. 46,000 miles.i have had two independent repair shops evaluate the factory rotors and they both come to the same conclusion, poor quality rotors.it's not how the vehicle is being operated since we are not causing anything that would cause these rotors to warp the way they do.we do not drive our vehicles hard, just to cause more maintenance expenses. Toyota has paid for replacing the rotors once.they have also charged me twice for the same work and i have paid twice to another auto shop.i tried to file a complaint through toyota and that was useless.i will never purchase a toyota vehicle again.real sad how they werehandling my complaint.
Ever since this vehicle was brand new it has continued to exhibit occasional problem with brake pedal becoming hard, with little or no play, necessitating the need to push very hard on the brake pedal to affect stopping. Normally the brakes are very good. There does not appear to be any particular cause for this i.e. Pads being wet, road salt, etc. It only occurs occasionally and seems to go away after driving for 20-30 miles. When it does occur though it is difficult to stop.
After market metal tire pressure indicator valve cap (unknown mfg) froze on all four toyota 2006 rav4 tpms valve stems due to dissimilar metal corrosion.unable to check tire pressure or remove without damaging toyota tpms resulting in $125 per tire plus labor to repair for a total of $680.
My car is a 2007 avalon toyota and when i first purchased it i had problems with the car accelerating, brought it into the dealer and no problem was ever found.this happened a minimum of 3 times.then the car seemed to be ok, and it happened again about 1 year ago.i did not bring it to the dealer.the car has been running fine, but i have been watchful of it.and iwas told just to put it in neutral and turn off the motor.but it did not happen again.while in florida this past winter i did have my car serviced for all 3 recalls with much hesitation since, as i said, the car seemed to be ok.it has been approx. 3 weeks since i had all the recall work done and while driving home from fla. I went into a gas station to put air in my tires and then all [xxx] broke loose.i was driving slow looking for the air pump and the carwent crazy accelerating.i yelled, put my foot on the brakes and turned off the motor.it had nothing to do with the floor mat, pedal etc.nothing was noticeable stuck.i love this car, but there is a devil inside the motor.since the recall did not take care of the problem what should i do?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Distracted driving is going more hi-tech with the announcement of a joint venture by toyota and microsoft to bring the internet to the dashboard. (see: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/car_gadgets/ )to me, this is extremely dangerous distraction to drivers who need to be paying attention to the road. There are requirements that in-car entertainment systems must be behind the drivers and out of their sight. Putting an in-dash data center in view of, or worse, for use by the driver exacerbates the growing safety problem of distracted driving. I recommend that the national highway traffic safety administration or consumer product safety commission intercept and prevent these products, or require them to be behind the driver or, at least, require an interlock so that they can only be viewed when the transmission is in "park" and not while the car is in motion.
My 2005 toyota tundra was in for service the mechanic said there was a recall on this truck so i agreed to let toyotareplace my ball joints (recall no: 70b) after the replacement was done the vehicle steering began to fade to the left and then to the right i returned to the dealer and he said that it needed a few adjustments after driving it again the problem still existed after driving the truck for a few months i found that my tires were wearing due to feathering to the right and left also the vehicle became hard to hold straight in line while driving when i would run over a small depression in the road the steering would pull me in to oncoming traffic.i drove the truck back to the dealer 08/06/2007 they did a series of test but nothing worked. Final words you just have to live with it.i contacted toyota consumer complaint line and low and behold a recording came on addressing symptoms with the tundra the deal is i did not have this problem as they described it on the recording until after they replaced the ball joints.
On feb. 11, 2010 i took my toyota avalon in for the accelerator recall. On feb. 17, 2010 i was pulling into a parking space on the grounds of the elementary school i worked at that day when my car accelerated. It jumped the curb sideswiping my car with a car that was parked on my right. After it hit the ground from jumping the curb it accelerated again heading straight toward the school building. I put two feet on the brake and pressed as hard as i could. The car did stop. The car was towed by aaa to a toyota dealer in fort smith, ar (where the accident occurred). I bought the car at molle toyota in kc, mo where i live (overland park, ks). The insurance adjustor came that day to check the damage. He said an investigator would be out to check it the "cause of impact". As of now, that has not happened. My insurance company keeps telling me to take the car back to kc for repairs and i told them i will not drive an unsafe car. I will not touch the car until someone investigates the reason for the acceleration. I have called my dealer, who has been wonderful; toyota corporate who has been horrible (the first thing "barbara" said to me was "well, what do you want me to do about it?") she reluctantly said she would check it out. She called the toyota dealer in fort smith and told him that toyota inspectors would be out within 10 days but didn't know when. I called the highway transportation safety dept. Who said they didn't deal with that and to call my ks attorney general. I called the attorney general who told me to email this address. So . . . Status: my car is still in fort smith, ar on a toyota lot and nobody will take responsibility for what happened or help me with my next steps. I don't think anyone believed that the car accelerated after the recall fix. Finally, it appears that others around the country are having the same issue. I have an unsafe vehicle that i will not drive and don't know what to do next. Thank you.

Cruise control does not allow set.when it does engage tapping the brakes it will not disengage - need to bare down on the brakes hard and even at that, it hesitates and very slow for the speed to go down. Noticed this problem shortly after purchase. Two fixes have been attempted one was replacing switch and cable for cruise control and second fix was replacement of brake switch. Neither has worked. Occurrence is intermittent but ongoing.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).2004 toyota camry/solara technical problem passenger door or trunk will not open.there is no key latch to enter car from outside of car on passenger side or to open trunk. Key remote does not work , i've taken car to toyota dealer and replaced battery, but still will not open car door or trunk. I've tried report this problem within the last past 2 years to thetoyota dealer w/ no help. They want to charge me fordiagnostic check. I feel this is the dealers responsibility because the passenger door or trunkdoes not have a key latch on outside of the door or trunk . I have a daughter who has to ride in the back seat for safety purposes; i feel that in case of accident or emergency she would not be able to get out of / or someone would not be able to open door from outside or she cannot get out of car from inside.please advise.[xxx]
It has been noticed that there is a battery issue which allows for acid to seep onto the battery cables and leaves acid on top of battery terminal and cables. I know of several other toyota camry owners that have this exact same problem that affects their vehicle.this acid is corrosive and has lead to damaged components in the engine compartment.
Toyota sienna 2003 brand new car the battery leak and cause the radiator damage dealer state that this is not a warraty repair. This is a warranty repai and thats what the lemon law says . The dealer which is bay ridge toyota and man who is manager tom scarpacci says this is not warranty repair.
Blue headlights need to be banned.these lights are blinding.one article mentioned road rage and i can understand that. These high dollar vehicles are blinding us folks with the ordinary cars. Being blinded by the oncoming driver does not seem to be very safe.
On april 02, 2007 i had a car accident. I was driving my 2004 toyota camry le door sedan.as i was driving to my way to arizonato visit some family members i was driving in a normal speed out of the sudden the pedal of the accelerator did not work i tried to control my car but it was impossible to stopped the car.as consequence the car flip over andi got injured. On the sameweek of april 02. 2007 i had taken my csr to a toyota dealer to do a full service.on april second a toyota dealer associates called me but i was not there so my mom answered the phone and the representative from toyota had calledto see how my brakes were working.
Multi-function monitor display intermittent blank out.no display for multi-function display unit.it occurs very often since january 2008.
On june 20shortly before 6:00 pmi backed out of the parking space of our condo building, and i proceeded to drive the carwith about 10 mls/hour toward a street cca 50 yards away. Before entering the street the carhas to be stopped, however, without pressing thegas pedal, the car on its own accelerated.immediately i applied the brakes, but the car did not respond. The car speeded into a grassy area, and from thereto our overflow parking lot, and from there to a second parking lot. The tires burned the grass due to the applied brakes. Picture of the burned grass can be supplied if requested. The unstoppable car traveled about 170 yards. Due to the force by which the car hit four curves, the front tires were flattened and the front right wheel was severely damaged. The front end collapsed to the ground and the car finally stopped. My wifeand myself were wearing the safety belts, which prevented to be thrown into the front windshield..my wife was sitting next to me, there were no other passengers in the car. In addition the force caused both of the front airbags to deploy. Minimizing the human damage. The airbags caused a second degree burn on my left arm asdetermined in the er.the airbag also hit the front of myface. And slightly burned the finger on her left hand. Needless to stay that we were extremely shaken and frightened. Upon exiting the car i called 911 and reported what happened. An unknownneighbor called an ambulance, which came very soon with a large fire truck. We were taken to theer of a local hospital. We spent at 4-5 hours in the er of the hospital where we were x-rayed. Even as of the date of this report, some 2 months after the accident both my wife and i remain extremely shaken by this traumatic experience. My wife's spinal problems were enhanced by the crash, and her condition is being monitored by specialists. The car was not on the recall list.. I suspect the original micro chip to cause the malfunction of the gas flow.
We own a 1998 toyota camry vin [xxx], and we are the original owners of this car. About a one and a half years ago, we replaced the idle speed control unit for approximately $400.00.the camry had problems starting when it is cold, and the hayward california toyota dealer wants to charge us another $400.00 to replace the same part that they replaced about 18 months ago. The part is a toyota manufacturing part, and it cost about $250.00. Toyota has not recalled this part, and it should last longer than 18 months.i have talked with a number of auto repair shops, and they know that this part fails on the toyota camry. I have filed a complaint with toyota corporation reference number [xxx], but i do not feel toyota will address this problem. I have not heard from them, and i filed the complaint about two months ago.i am hoping that you will investigate this problem and let me know what you discover.your assistance is greatly appreciated.updated 07/24/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
My vehicle speed control will fail to hold a constant speed. Especially on hills and in colder weather. I replaced the speed control servo , have had the car in the shop 4 times and mechanic can't fix it. They called to a gm shop and mechanics told him this is a known issue. I see multiple complaints about this on your site as well. Perhaps a recall is in order as this is very dangerous and could cause an accident or fatality much like the pedal problems toyota has experienced/ the car will decelerate quickly at the most inopportune times. There is obviously an issue here beyond my vehicle. Why is there no recall or similar action plan to date?
In the last month the headlight on my 2007 touring prius have had intermittent outages. One headlamp or the other might fail to come on, or stop working while driving. Every so often, both headlight stop working while driving. And once, in the fog, when i turned on myfoglights, the headlights turned off. If i turn the headlights off, and back on, both lamps might work, or one or the other remain off... That this can happen while driving is a safety issue.toyota service offered to change the failed headlamp at $400, but since i could not identify a particular lamp, would do but at double the cost, but could not guarantee thatwould fix it. And from the information on various prius forums, changing the bulbs out will not solve this issue.
The hid headlights on my 2005 toyota prius went out several nights ago.the car was taken to toyota, and this problem is common on the 2004-2008 prius, which a simple google search proved.these type of bulbs overheat (since they're halogen).nevertheless, they charged $1150 for two headlights which cannot be bought anywhere except the toyota dealership.they were only 2 years old.when i called toyota, the person i talked to understood, saying it had happened to him too, but there was nothing he could do since the car had over 136,000 miles on it.apparently toyota only warranties its parts for one year.shameful.

2006 toyota prius hid headlights stops working (turns off) will driving.started out with the right side (passenger side). Now both sides of the cars will turn off randomly. Problem is at night, you must turn off & on headlight switch for the hid headlights to come back on. This has been an on going problem, have replaced the hid headlights bulbs twice and the ecu headlight computer and the problem still persist.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i own a 2004 toyota camry vin#[xxx]on january 6, 2010 i was driving up first ave in manhattan going to randalls island.at 1st ave and about 10 st i was driving about 20 miles per hour, pressed the brake approaching a red light.instead the engine revved (vroom) and car accelerated forward. I floored the brake and pulled up the emergency brake and stilli tapped the commercial vehiclein front before being able to stop by putting car into park.2 hours later i was returning home and driving down 9th street between broadway and university and again approaching a red light braked to slow down the car (i was already going 20mph)again, instead the vehicle revved and accelerated forward and this time no matter how hard i pushed the brake the car wouldn't stop.i slammed the transmission into park , pulled up the emergency brake and that stopped the car.i called aaa and had the car towed to toyota of manhattan where they said my brake pins were frozen and there was a throttle problem and charged $1300 for repair.(my personal mechanic in nj later told me brake pins and uncontrolled acceleration were not related.on monday february 22, 2010 while driving to my summer apartment in ventnor nj the same thing happened.we were again able to stop the car by pulling into park mode and emergency brake.we restarted the car and drove 10 miles per hour to our parking lot where the car still sits. Calls to toyota of manhattan simply stated that this model was not under recall and the car was too far for them to send a tow.attempts to bring the car to a local toyota (shore toyota) calls were not answered and i was told i could not bring the car in without an appointment. And i should bring the car back to where the repair was done.so there it sits in a parking lot.i had to rent acar to get home.the repair was clearly bogus and this problem is acceleration upon hitting the brake pedal.

Cruise control does not allow set.when it does engage tapping the brakes it will not disengage - need to bare down on the brakes hard and even at that, it hesitates and very slow for the speed to go down. Noticed this problem shortly after purchase. Two fixes have been attempted one was replacing switch and cable for cruise control and second fix was replacement of brake switch. Neither has worked. Occurrence is intermittent but ongoing.
Distracted driving is going more hi-tech with the announcement of a joint venture by toyota and microsoft to bring the internet to the dashboard. (see: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/car_gadgets/ )to me, this is extremely dangerous distraction to drivers who need to be paying attention to the road. There are requirements that in-car entertainment systems must be behind the drivers and out of their sight. Putting an in-dash data center in view of, or worse, for use by the driver exacerbates the growing safety problem of distracted driving. I recommend that the national highway traffic safety administration or consumer product safety commission intercept and prevent these products, or require them to be behind the driver or, at least, require an interlock so that they can only be viewed when the transmission is in "park" and not while the car is in motion.
I bought my 2007 tundra 6/30/2007 ran great until around 18,500 mi. At that time the transmission started making a banging noise which it felt like the 05 4 runner. The 4 runner still does it but it runs and drives fine.the tundra is getting really bad as it is grinding andbanging. I have been in contact with toyota from my area and they keep saying i have to bring it in to have it checked. I have had several appointments and they usually call and cancel the appointment. I contacted different corporate exc's and one from california called and made an app. And i was there for it. I waited for 1 1/2 hours and the rep didn't show. I am now going to send mr.akio toyoda, president of toyota a certified letter. His address iscorporate headquarters*1 toyota-chotoyota city, aichi 471-8571 japan phone: 81 5 6528 2121fax: 81 5 6523 5800 i hope everyone that has a problem will send a certified letter to him and let him know how embarrassed the toyota co. Should be for the way they are handling the problems. I for one will go back to gm as they will half try to help.
Purchased my vehicle in march 2005.i have had it in the shop three (3) times for the moon roof.the moon roof rattles horribly and the dealership as taken the glass out and replaced it saying "that toyota has done all that they know what to do with that particular situation".i find this unacceptable.i have also had my car in the shop five (5) times for the back hatch.the hatch makes a horrible rattle when just driving on regular roads.this problem is still unfixed.my paint as with the numerous other amounts of complaints is chipping and bubbling up.it horrifies me to read all of these complaints regarding this vehicle.i can only anticipate on what could happen next.
Was sitting in my 2005 toyota camry xle in park idling when i placed it indrive it surged quickly forward and hit my brick garage wall
Uncontrolled acceleration of a 2006 lexus gs 300 occurred during overtaking of another vehicle on a two lane us highway. Car was towed to a lexus dealer (lexus of ft. Wayne indiana) where it was determined that the driver's floor mat was jammed against the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that this was the only case of this to their knowledge. After seeing the nhtsa report of recall regarding different lexus vehicles with the same problem i suspect that nhtsa has not been informed of the potential for the problem to be more widespread, potentially requiring a broader recall effort. The date of the incident (12/28/06) is approximate. I would expect that the exact date is available from the dealer. The information under "equipment" is not accurate as the choices make no sense.
Power sliding door cable snapped on a 2004 toyota sienna xle. Due to this issue we can not open or close the driver side sliding door. In order to fix the problem, we are taking to the dealership and estimated cost to fix is $500.00 and $100.00 to identify the issue.
In march 2002 the steering column tilt lock mechanism broke permitting the column to freely move up and down. Toyota of fort worth (then mckinney toyota) replaced the broken parts and installed a reinforcement kit. In december 2004 the replacement parts broke and toyota of fort worth again replaced the parts. In december 2004 while awaiting replacement parts to arrive at toyota of fort worth, while driving on an expressway it was neccessary for me to perform very hard braking to avoid hitting a vehicle which cut me off very close. When i applied the brakes my torso was thrown forward by the sudden deceleration (with safety belts on) and naturally the force was transmitted to the steering wheel through my hands, which caused the steering wheel to turn to the left and the car to of course swerve to the left unintended. Fortunately the left lane was vacant at that time, otherwise i would have collided with a vehicle that might have been alongside to the left. Consequently i was alert to this and had no further incidents while awaiting parts to arrive and be installed by toyota of fort worth. The replacement parts are the exact same as original parts, so in about 2-3 years they will again break.
Brake calipers fail every 45k under normal driving.
Oxygen sensors constantly fail.i have replaced twice and another is currently out.toyota extended the warranty instead of recalling and fixing the problem.the second o2 sensor was out within the extended warranty period but i didn't fix b/c i already had it repaired once.of 3, i was reimbursed for 1.
Brakes on 2002 toyota tundra defective.brakes vibrate excessively.
The driver's side door is falling off of my 2005 toyota sienna minivan. Toyota issued a service bulletin recall for this defect in 2005. The problem 1st appeared in my car in march 2007. The folsom lake toyota dealer repaired my vehicle by sending it out to a welding company to be repaired. I was provided with a rental car at no charge by toyota. The description of the defect, as stated on the repair slip is as follows: "...found door deformed and weld broken inside door , 23 replaced drivers door check, sublet to body shop for repair of door."i have a copy of this original repair form. The 2nd time this defect re-appeared was on july 8, 2010. I immediately reported the problem to toyota corporate, was assigned case # 1007081422 and was advised by the toyota corporate representative that the toyota of richmond, indiana dealer would be calling me within 3 days to make an appointment to bring my car in and receive a free rental until my car's deformities were fixed. The dealer failed to respond within 3 days, and i called corporate again on 7-14-10 and spoke with catherine. She sent another request to toyota of richmond and said that i would hear from the dealer within 24 hrs. Again, toyota of richmond failed to contact me. I called toyota corporate moments ago (7-16-10), and jessie said they have no control over their dealers fixing toyota defects and that i should try to contact them myself. Toyota has a legal and ethical responsibility to fix their known defective problems. After all of these failed attempts to get richmond toyota to contact me to initiatethe repair process, toyota should be fined and/or toyota should be prohibited from selling in the us marketplace. The driver side door is clearly falling off and will cause injuries when this happens.
I am the first owner of my toyota corolla, which has 74,000 mile on it now.the car has been well maintained.however, there are some unexpected problems with the car.after i bought the car three and half years (march 2005), the check engine light went on and it was diagnosed that the evaporation system had malfunction and the charcoal canister and vacuum switch needed to be replaced.i had spent more than $600.00 to have this done.at that time i did not complain too much.however, the same thing happened again in november 2007, i had to spend another $600.00 to replace canister and valve again (after two and half years later). I believe that the two charcoal canisters had very bad quality!

Toyota rav 4 2001, headlights fog up after one year. They are a sealed unit. I have had them replaced 3 time now because of this problem.they are not cracked or damaged in any way. The headlights just fogg up after about 1 1/2 years. The cost of the headlights are $500 and to install them it's $180. After they fogg up, the light is dimmer on the night headlights and can't see very good when the light is so dim.i was told by the toyota repair shop that this happens to the headlights all the time. Also on the lexus model that they also make.he told me it was a problem that toyota has not addressed. He just know that would happen again, because he replaces them all the time.that is unexceptible, the head should not be fogging up like that.why hasn't toyota mfg. Done something about this problem???? please help me find out. Pleaseeeeee. Thank you.
Blue headlights need to be banned.these lights are blinding.one article mentioned road rage and i can understand that. These high dollar vehicles are blinding us folks with the ordinary cars. Being blinded by the oncoming driver does not seem to be very safe.

I have a toyota corolla 1997 and the gas tank is pressed so that it breaks. I have already changed two tanks in less than six months and tell me that looks like a factory flaw wanted to know if i could help?
Vehicle stalls and dies on highway almost causing wreck. Find out there is no fuel in tank even though fuel gauge reads 1/3. Toyota says tsb el010-00 addresses known defective 1999 and 2000 fuel gauges and also addresses some gauges inaccurately reading empty when 4 gallons remain, but my vehicle currently have 72545 miles and out of warranty so toyota will not pay for fix. No engine, no steering, no brakes, lots of traffic. I am in the navy and will be driving from florida to san diego next month enroute to japan in october. I called toyota corporate and they said they know about it but since it's only a tsb and not a recall, they can't do anything to fix it unless i pay for it myself. These are known defects since the truck got out of the tahara plant in japan for sale to the u.s.

I have a 2005 scion tc that i purchase brand new from the factory. Recently i had my handle latch broken from normal use. I lifted it like you would normally do and it just snapped (broke). I then realized that it was framed or made with thin plastic that wouldn't last long on the car itself because if you apply normal pressure by opening it, the handle is not made to handle such pressure by the weight of the truck and glass. It's a hatch back. I notice numerous complaints from other scion tc owners on several blogs and websites. I have not attempted to fix it because i'm looking at parts alone $180 without labor. I was wondering if there's anything i could do besides filing a complaint. Thank you.

I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd.i have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like i will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!!reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping.they replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but i had to pay the $50 deductible.they also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it.the ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior.whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...sounds like coming from side mirrors???i replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped.always have excessive brake dust on front wheels.transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time.rough idle after warm up.i bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it.most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...no heavy hauling ever.am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...i am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere.

In san diego earlier this year, at night, to enter heavy ast moving traffic from on ramp floored gas pedal in 2009 toyota camry with new heavy duty floor mats, and had max runaway acceleration.was able to stop with heavy brake pressure, hitting stop engine button didn't work.checked everything i could and tried again, same response, called 911 and got tow truck on the way.finally figured out floor mat had caught gas pedal and was holding it down.pulled floor mat back into place, and then no problem.told 911 as i recall to forget the tow truck.got up to 40- 50 or so mph.haven't reported this to toyota yet.
2005 toyota camry le v6gradually speed up to about 25 mph. Stop short (you don't have to lock them up, but stop quickly) then accelerate again.when i stop short, my transmission shifts into neutral, and it takes about 3 seconds to shift back into first. When it does, i get quite a jolt. Brought car back to dealer,they are saying it is normal.

I had to replace the 3rd row seat belts in 2003 seinna 3 timeson each side.the seat belt locked at top and will not fit arround my children or it wastoo loose.it hasbeen a a safty issue numerous times when it broke on vacation , and my child had to seat up front.
My car is a 2007 avalon toyota and when i first purchased it i had problems with the car accelerating, brought it into the dealer and no problem was ever found.this happened a minimum of 3 times.then the car seemed to be ok, and it happened again about 1 year ago.i did not bring it to the dealer.the car has been running fine, but i have been watchful of it.and iwas told just to put it in neutral and turn off the motor.but it did not happen again.while in florida this past winter i did have my car serviced for all 3 recalls with much hesitation since, as i said, the car seemed to be ok.it has been approx. 3 weeks since i had all the recall work done and while driving home from fla. I went into a gas station to put air in my tires and then all [xxx] broke loose.i was driving slow looking for the air pump and the carwent crazy accelerating.i yelled, put my foot on the brakes and turned off the motor.it had nothing to do with the floor mat, pedal etc.nothing was noticeable stuck.i love this car, but there is a devil inside the motor.since the recall did not take care of the problem what should i do?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i own a 2004 toyota camry vin#[xxx]on january 6, 2010 i was driving up first ave in manhattan going to randalls island.at 1st ave and about 10 st i was driving about 20 miles per hour, pressed the brake approaching a red light.instead the engine revved (vroom) and car accelerated forward. I floored the brake and pulled up the emergency brake and stilli tapped the commercial vehiclein front before being able to stop by putting car into park.2 hours later i was returning home and driving down 9th street between broadway and university and again approaching a red light braked to slow down the car (i was already going 20mph)again, instead the vehicle revved and accelerated forward and this time no matter how hard i pushed the brake the car wouldn't stop.i slammed the transmission into park , pulled up the emergency brake and that stopped the car.i called aaa and had the car towed to toyota of manhattan where they said my brake pins were frozen and there was a throttle problem and charged $1300 for repair.(my personal mechanic in nj later told me brake pins and uncontrolled acceleration were not related.on monday february 22, 2010 while driving to my summer apartment in ventnor nj the same thing happened.we were again able to stop the car by pulling into park mode and emergency brake.we restarted the car and drove 10 miles per hour to our parking lot where the car still sits. Calls to toyota of manhattan simply stated that this model was not under recall and the car was too far for them to send a tow.attempts to bring the car to a local toyota (shore toyota) calls were not answered and i was told i could not bring the car in without an appointment. And i should bring the car back to where the repair was done.so there it sits in a parking lot.i had to rent acar to get home.the repair was clearly bogus and this problem is acceleration upon hitting the brake pedal.

Safety issue. Water found in toyota atf type t4.i want to report the following. Our company has recently bought several drums of toyota atf type t4, part number 00279-drmt4 from a toyota dealer, the drums were delivered in the period april - may this year, 2009.in two of those drums our customers have found water traits. The fluid had some precipitation. Also the fluid had an unusual color for toyota atf type t4. We've sent the oil for inspection and chemical analysis to an independent third party lab.i understand this can damage transmission which is vital for safe driving and can cause accidents for those who are already on the road at the moment. We want to see that all necessary measures including recalls for atf oil change have been taken - as soon as possible to prevent death and injures of those who have recently had their toyota atf oil changed. We also want from toyota to replace or reimburse those drums we've found problems with.

Brake calipers fail every 45k under normal driving.
Ever since this vehicle was brand new it has continued to exhibit occasional problem with brake pedal becoming hard, with little or no play, necessitating the need to push very hard on the brake pedal to affect stopping. Normally the brakes are very good. There does not appear to be any particular cause for this i.e. Pads being wet, road salt, etc. It only occurs occasionally and seems to go away after driving for 20-30 miles. When it does occur though it is difficult to stop.
Brakes on 2002 toyota tundra defective.brakes vibrate excessively.
I have a lexus rx 330, 2004.starting in april 2004 right after i purchased it on march 31, 2004 i have had brake problems with this car.it would jolt when you were applying the brakes, and pull to the side.this was reported by phone, and during its first check up at 1000 miles.told they could not find anything.continued problem.told same at 5000 mile check up, but they replaced brake booster anyway.while backing out of drive brakes failed, and vehicle raninto a yard. Then brake light came on.lexus dealer sent car carrier to pick up.driver saw there were no brakes and light was on.told by dealership the brakes working and light on, but replaced brake boosters again.this time supposedly with another type.i was assured each time nothing wrong with car.kept driving it, and car would continue to jolt, and pulled to side while steadily applying brakes.even to the point it would break traction in rain.had car picked up again,,and they told me this time it was a chip which controlled the baffle system that controlled the brakes.i refused to let them work on it, and asked lexus at this time to buy the car back under the ga lemon law which was very clear about major system failure such as brakes.his buy back process has been going on since february.the car has been at the dealership unable to be driven.signed a contract with lexus to buy it back over 45 days ago and they still have not given me my money.
I purchased a 2007 toyota camry in march 2006.this new vehicle had several defects including the replacement of a dash by the dealer after delivery.the quality of the brake rotors on this vehicle are unsatisfactory.i have had the rotors replaced five times.the vehicle has approx. 46,000 miles.i have had two independent repair shops evaluate the factory rotors and they both come to the same conclusion, poor quality rotors.it's not how the vehicle is being operated since we are not causing anything that would cause these rotors to warp the way they do.we do not drive our vehicles hard, just to cause more maintenance expenses. Toyota has paid for replacing the rotors once.they have also charged me twice for the same work and i have paid twice to another auto shop.i tried to file a complaint through toyota and that was useless.i will never purchase a toyota vehicle again.real sad how they werehandling my complaint.
Severe vibration in steering when brakes applied 20+ months after purchase. Brought to dealer, deformed rotors,machined front disc brakes & replaced pads. When braking after this, vehicle pulled to the left. 24 months later had same severe vibration/brakes again. Researched complaints nhtsasite..many have same complaint to dealer again & they wanted tocharge me $99 to diagnose. I saidno & the mgr stevesaid we don't charge that fee for brakes. I advised i knew of tsb's issued for this car & shouldn't have sameproblem from 2 yrs ago. He said only 1 yr warranty on prev work, but he would take a look. Hesaid my rotors were warped &could not be machined again, only replaced, however brake pads arereplaced when they are2 ml &mine were at 7-8, &safe soeither replace rotors & pads $469 live w/ vibration untilpadsworn down to 2 mlthen dobrake jobe. I advisedi knew oftsb'sfor this problem &he said he alreadychecked &there aren't. I said check again & after waitingtold me there was a tsb but it had expired but in an act of "good will" he would order the part and do the repair to both front brakes free. I made an appt &went for repair. Repair order said only one side rotor and padreplaced. Now when i approach hgwy speed of 60-65 mph, steering wheel shimmies.people are having accidents due to these brake problems according to nhtsa complaints ¬hing is being done! iworry someone will be hurt because this problem is not deemed worthy of a recall. The design of the brakes is a problem.

After having driven my prius nearly 15,000 miles in all types of weather (except snow) and on residential roads as well as interstate highways with no steering problems, on a single day on residential streets at 20 to 25 mph and gentle rain, it hydroplaned twice with damages each time to the car and to a fire hydrant once. Each event was while going around a gentle left curve at reasonable speed. The first time, i was able to correct and spin out 360 degrees with the left quarter-panel hitting a roadside garbage container. The second time, the car did not respond to any steering maneuvers nor the brakes when applied. The car stopped only after colliding with the fire hydrant. Significant damage was sustained in each collision. I have traveled this street several times daily, often on rainy days, and never before had any steering problems. It was as though something had changed in the steering control on this day. I was sober and unimpaired.
In march 2002 the steering column tilt lock mechanism broke permitting the column to freely move up and down. Toyota of fort worth (then mckinney toyota) replaced the broken parts and installed a reinforcement kit. In december 2004 the replacement parts broke and toyota of fort worth again replaced the parts. In december 2004 while awaiting replacement parts to arrive at toyota of fort worth, while driving on an expressway it was neccessary for me to perform very hard braking to avoid hitting a vehicle which cut me off very close. When i applied the brakes my torso was thrown forward by the sudden deceleration (with safety belts on) and naturally the force was transmitted to the steering wheel through my hands, which caused the steering wheel to turn to the left and the car to of course swerve to the left unintended. Fortunately the left lane was vacant at that time, otherwise i would have collided with a vehicle that might have been alongside to the left. Consequently i was alert to this and had no further incidents while awaiting parts to arrive and be installed by toyota of fort worth. The replacement parts are the exact same as original parts, so in about 2-3 years they will again break.
Car started pulling to the right when travelling65-70 mph,leading to hitting a bridge wall and going down hill after that.suspension and steering heavily damaged, also damage to the body of car. I have been driving for more than 4 years now and this is the first time that i saw acar behave so strangely. Since toyota camry has so many complaints from consumers saying that the car pulls to the left, i am thinking if the car was tampered with before sale, causing it to pull to the right instead of left to keep the complaints at bay.. Also while driving for the 4 months that i had the car i noticed that the steering would turn to the right when ever i braked(i should have reported this at that very moment) unfortunate that i am doing this after been an horrible accident.

I have a 2005 scion tc that i purchase brand new from the factory. Recently i had my handle latch broken from normal use. I lifted it like you would normally do and it just snapped (broke). I then realized that it was framed or made with thin plastic that wouldn't last long on the car itself because if you apply normal pressure by opening it, the handle is not made to handle such pressure by the weight of the truck and glass. It's a hatch back. I notice numerous complaints from other scion tc owners on several blogs and websites. I have not attempted to fix it because i'm looking at parts alone $180 without labor. I was wondering if there's anything i could do besides filing a complaint. Thank you.

The driver's side door is falling off of my 2005 toyota sienna minivan. Toyota issued a service bulletin recall for this defect in 2005. The problem 1st appeared in my car in march 2007. The folsom lake toyota dealer repaired my vehicle by sending it out to a welding company to be repaired. I was provided with a rental car at no charge by toyota. The description of the defect, as stated on the repair slip is as follows: "...found door deformed and weld broken inside door , 23 replaced drivers door check, sublet to body shop for repair of door."i have a copy of this original repair form. The 2nd time this defect re-appeared was on july 8, 2010. I immediately reported the problem to toyota corporate, was assigned case # 1007081422 and was advised by the toyota corporate representative that the toyota of richmond, indiana dealer would be calling me within 3 days to make an appointment to bring my car in and receive a free rental until my car's deformities were fixed. The dealer failed to respond within 3 days, and i called corporate again on 7-14-10 and spoke with catherine. She sent another request to toyota of richmond and said that i would hear from the dealer within 24 hrs. Again, toyota of richmond failed to contact me. I called toyota corporate moments ago (7-16-10), and jessie said they have no control over their dealers fixing toyota defects and that i should try to contact them myself. Toyota has a legal and ethical responsibility to fix their known defective problems. After all of these failed attempts to get richmond toyota to contact me to initiatethe repair process, toyota should be fined and/or toyota should be prohibited from selling in the us marketplace. The driver side door is clearly falling off and will cause injuries when this happens.

Power sliding door cable snapped on a 2004 toyota sienna xle. Due to this issue we can not open or close the driver side sliding door. In order to fix the problem, we are taking to the dealership and estimated cost to fix is $500.00 and $100.00 to identify the issue.
Purchased my vehicle in march 2005.i have had it in the shop three (3) times for the moon roof.the moon roof rattles horribly and the dealership as taken the glass out and replaced it saying "that toyota has done all that they know what to do with that particular situation".i find this unacceptable.i have also had my car in the shop five (5) times for the back hatch.the hatch makes a horrible rattle when just driving on regular roads.this problem is still unfixed.my paint as with the numerous other amounts of complaints is chipping and bubbling up.it horrifies me to read all of these complaints regarding this vehicle.i can only anticipate on what could happen next.

My 2005 toyota tundra was in for service the mechanic said there was a recall on this truck so i agreed to let toyotareplace my ball joints (recall no: 70b) after the replacement was done the vehicle steering began to fade to the left and then to the right i returned to the dealer and he said that it needed a few adjustments after driving it again the problem still existed after driving the truck for a few months i found that my tires were wearing due to feathering to the right and left also the vehicle became hard to hold straight in line while driving when i would run over a small depression in the road the steering would pull me in to oncoming traffic.i drove the truck back to the dealer 08/06/2007 they did a series of test but nothing worked. Final words you just have to live with it.i contacted toyota consumer complaint line and low and behold a recording came on addressing symptoms with the tundra the deal is i did not have this problem as they described it on the recording until after they replaced the ball joints.

I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd.i have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like i will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!!reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping.they replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but i had to pay the $50 deductible.they also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it.the ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior.whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...sounds like coming from side mirrors???i replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped.always have excessive brake dust on front wheels.transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time.rough idle after warm up.i bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it.most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...no heavy hauling ever.am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...i am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere.
I bought my 2007 tundra 6/30/2007 ran great until around 18,500 mi. At that time the transmission started making a banging noise which it felt like the 05 4 runner. The 4 runner still does it but it runs and drives fine.the tundra is getting really bad as it is grinding andbanging. I have been in contact with toyota from my area and they keep saying i have to bring it in to have it checked. I have had several appointments and they usually call and cancel the appointment. I contacted different corporate exc's and one from california called and made an app. And i was there for it. I waited for 1 1/2 hours and the rep didn't show. I am now going to send mr.akio toyoda, president of toyota a certified letter. His address iscorporate headquarters*1 toyota-chotoyota city, aichi 471-8571 japan phone: 81 5 6528 2121fax: 81 5 6523 5800 i hope everyone that has a problem will send a certified letter to him and let him know how embarrassed the toyota co. Should be for the way they are handling the problems. I for one will go back to gm as they will half try to help.

My complaint is about the nhtsa and the constant beratement of toyota. You have never raised this much stink over a domestic manf. It is clear to the general public that this whole deal is political to try and drive customers to gm, chrysler & ford. Since gm & chrysler is propped up by the government with the tax payers monies. The american people are not the fools you think they are. I would suggest that you wake up & listen to the people, it is no secret that all this is coming from the white house.wake-up !
Purchased my vehicle in march 2005.i have had it in the shop three (3) times for the moon roof.the moon roof rattles horribly and the dealership as taken the glass out and replaced it saying "that toyota has done all that they know what to do with that particular situation".i find this unacceptable.i have also had my car in the shop five (5) times for the back hatch.the hatch makes a horrible rattle when just driving on regular roads.this problem is still unfixed.my paint as with the numerous other amounts of complaints is chipping and bubbling up.it horrifies me to read all of these complaints regarding this vehicle.i can only anticipate on what could happen next.
My vehicle speed control will fail to hold a constant speed. Especially on hills and in colder weather. I replaced the speed control servo , have had the car in the shop 4 times and mechanic can't fix it. They called to a gm shop and mechanics told him this is a known issue. I see multiple complaints about this on your site as well. Perhaps a recall is in order as this is very dangerous and could cause an accident or fatality much like the pedal problems toyota has experienced/ the car will decelerate quickly at the most inopportune times. There is obviously an issue here beyond my vehicle. Why is there no recall or similar action plan to date?
Vehicle speed control:opened garage door with remote. Stepped lightly on gas pedal to enter garage. Car unexpectedly accelerated rapidly.stepped on brakes but car did not stop. Car crashed through interior garage wall and through closet in adjoining bedroom.couse of problem is being investigated. Repair not completed.
My accident/injuries because the defects/flaws of my car:brake systems, accelerator pedal, unintended acceleration, speed out of control, cruise control systems, electronic throttle systems...i have the car fixed, repairs sometimes (records at dealership). They replaced computer board...but still have a problems...my issues are about my toyota camry/model 2000 got accident/injuries on oct. 2004 because the car had many problems are:rough of cruise control systems, rough speed/rpm, gas pedal, brake, rough idle, suddenly accelerated - without pressing a gas pedal.i hit the car and my front bumper is almost felt off.it costs over a thousand dollars to replace but my injuries is no money to replace its back to normal, my auto insurance not paying my medical bills any more...
On feb. 11, 2010 i took my toyota avalon in for the accelerator recall. On feb. 17, 2010 i was pulling into a parking space on the grounds of the elementary school i worked at that day when my car accelerated. It jumped the curb sideswiping my car with a car that was parked on my right. After it hit the ground from jumping the curb it accelerated again heading straight toward the school building. I put two feet on the brake and pressed as hard as i could. The car did stop. The car was towed by aaa to a toyota dealer in fort smith, ar (where the accident occurred). I bought the car at molle toyota in kc, mo where i live (overland park, ks). The insurance adjustor came that day to check the damage. He said an investigator would be out to check it the "cause of impact". As of now, that has not happened. My insurance company keeps telling me to take the car back to kc for repairs and i told them i will not drive an unsafe car. I will not touch the car until someone investigates the reason for the acceleration. I have called my dealer, who has been wonderful; toyota corporate who has been horrible (the first thing "barbara" said to me was "well, what do you want me to do about it?") she reluctantly said she would check it out. She called the toyota dealer in fort smith and told him that toyota inspectors would be out within 10 days but didn't know when. I called the highway transportation safety dept. Who said they didn't deal with that and to call my ks attorney general. I called the attorney general who told me to email this address. So . . . Status: my car is still in fort smith, ar on a toyota lot and nobody will take responsibility for what happened or help me with my next steps. I don't think anyone believed that the car accelerated after the recall fix. Finally, it appears that others around the country are having the same issue. I have an unsafe vehicle that i will not drive and don't know what to do next. Thank you.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)i own a 2004 toyota camry vin#[xxx]on january 6, 2010 i was driving up first ave in manhattan going to randalls island.at 1st ave and about 10 st i was driving about 20 miles per hour, pressed the brake approaching a red light.instead the engine revved (vroom) and car accelerated forward. I floored the brake and pulled up the emergency brake and stilli tapped the commercial vehiclein front before being able to stop by putting car into park.2 hours later i was returning home and driving down 9th street between broadway and university and again approaching a red light braked to slow down the car (i was already going 20mph)again, instead the vehicle revved and accelerated forward and this time no matter how hard i pushed the brake the car wouldn't stop.i slammed the transmission into park , pulled up the emergency brake and that stopped the car.i called aaa and had the car towed to toyota of manhattan where they said my brake pins were frozen and there was a throttle problem and charged $1300 for repair.(my personal mechanic in nj later told me brake pins and uncontrolled acceleration were not related.on monday february 22, 2010 while driving to my summer apartment in ventnor nj the same thing happened.we were again able to stop the car by pulling into park mode and emergency brake.we restarted the car and drove 10 miles per hour to our parking lot where the car still sits. Calls to toyota of manhattan simply stated that this model was not under recall and the car was too far for them to send a tow.attempts to bring the car to a local toyota (shore toyota) calls were not answered and i was told i could not bring the car in without an appointment. And i should bring the car back to where the repair was done.so there it sits in a parking lot.i had to rent acar to get home.the repair was clearly bogus and this problem is acceleration upon hitting the brake pedal.

Toyota camry post recall fix - issues 1. Toyota camry car suddenly accelerated and brakes did not work. Car ended up in a ditch and needed to be towed2. Toyota camry recall fix was done 2 days before the incident. A metal shin was inserted into accelerator assembly pedal along with car software (break overrides accelerator). Really bad customer experience- no quick response to the issue- have roadside assistance but was denied any towing charger at the dealership- nobody called me for 2 days to let me know status of the car- lost my keys and kept me waiting.
On april 02, 2007 i had a car accident. I was driving my 2004 toyota camry le door sedan.as i was driving to my way to arizonato visit some family members i was driving in a normal speed out of the sudden the pedal of the accelerator did not work i tried to control my car but it was impossible to stopped the car.as consequence the car flip over andi got injured. On the sameweek of april 02. 2007 i had taken my csr to a toyota dealer to do a full service.on april second a toyota dealer associates called me but i was not there so my mom answered the phone and the representative from toyota had calledto see how my brakes were working.
Second occurrence:may 26, 2006merging onto main highway into oncoming traffic.cruise control was not on.accelerated and gas pedal stuck.truck continued to accelerate, could not disengage pedal.brake pedal was also locked and could not depress it.after numerous tries, brake pedal finally engaged and gas pedal disengaged.called toyota dealer again and this time they are replacing the non-factory installed cruise control.one week prior to incident, they replaced computer system, something in the gas pedal itself and the cruise control computer.
Was sitting in my 2005 toyota camry xle in park idling when i placed it indrive it surged quickly forward and hit my brick garage wall
Uncontrolled acceleration of a 2006 lexus gs 300 occurred during overtaking of another vehicle on a two lane us highway. Car was towed to a lexus dealer (lexus of ft. Wayne indiana) where it was determined that the driver's floor mat was jammed against the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that this was the only case of this to their knowledge. After seeing the nhtsa report of recall regarding different lexus vehicles with the same problem i suspect that nhtsa has not been informed of the potential for the problem to be more widespread, potentially requiring a broader recall effort. The date of the incident (12/28/06) is approximate. I would expect that the exact date is available from the dealer. The information under "equipment" is not accurate as the choices make no sense.

Cruise control does not allow set.when it does engage tapping the brakes it will not disengage - need to bare down on the brakes hard and even at that, it hesitates and very slow for the speed to go down. Noticed this problem shortly after purchase. Two fixes have been attempted one was replacing switch and cable for cruise control and second fix was replacement of brake switch. Neither has worked. Occurrence is intermittent but ongoing.
I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd.i have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like i will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!!reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping.they replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but i had to pay the $50 deductible.they also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it.the ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior.whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...sounds like coming from side mirrors???i replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped.always have excessive brake dust on front wheels.transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time.rough idle after warm up.i bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it.most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...no heavy hauling ever.am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...i am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere.
Driver side mirror shakes vigorously during high speed traveling (65 mph) making unsafe for changing lanes or especially at night, it will disturbs the driver with bouncing lights.
Purchased my vehicle in march 2005.i have had it in the shop three (3) times for the moon roof.the moon roof rattles horribly and the dealership as taken the glass out and replaced it saying "that toyota has done all that they know what to do with that particular situation".i find this unacceptable.i have also had my car in the shop five (5) times for the back hatch.the hatch makes a horrible rattle when just driving on regular roads.this problem is still unfixed.my paint as with the numerous other amounts of complaints is chipping and bubbling up.it horrifies me to read all of these complaints regarding this vehicle.i can only anticipate on what could happen next.
L shaped crack on windshield of my 2006 scion xb. Had the windshield replaced and one week later the new windshield cracked in the same place with the same shape. It also happened overnight when not driven.
