IN JULY 2016 I WAS CRESTING THE TOP OF A HILL WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING ME TO HIT MY BRAKES. UPON BRAKING AND DECELERATION, I FELT THE CAR MOMENTARILY TRY ACCELERATING THROUGH THE BRAKES. THIS FREAKED ME OUT AND I PULLED OVER TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. CHECKED MY FLOOR MAT AND EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED IN PLACE AS IT SHOULD BE. SO I STARTED MY CAR BACK UP, WITH IT IN PARK GAVE IT A LITTLE REV. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE MOTOR IS COMING BACK DOWN ON THE RPM'S, IT IS ACTUALLY HANGING UP, AND SOMETIMES ACTUALLY JUMPING AT OR AROUND 1500 RPMS. IT DOES IT EVERY SINGLE TIME. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO TWO DEALERSHIPS NOW TO BE TOLD NOTHING WE CAN DO. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SINGLE VEHICLE ISSUE...I AM THE ONLY ONE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD MY CAR MOMENTARILY ACCELERATE THROUGH THE BRAKES AND SAID ANYTHING SO FAR! I HAVE SAT IN NUMEROUS BRAND NEW TOYOTAS WITH THE 2.5L LIKE THE CAMRY AND RAV4 AND EVERY NEW TOYOTA DOES THIS WEIRD RPM JUMP ON THEIR OWN AND ALL THE DEALERS SAID TO ME WAS "IF THE OTHERS ARE DOING IT ON THE LOT....IT IS OBVIOUSLY NORMAL" THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF SOMETHING IN TOYOTA'S 2.5L ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE JULY TO WORK WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE NOW DECIDED TO ESCALATE IT THROUGH THE NHTSA BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!!!!! I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO AND UPLOADED IT TO YOUTUBE. THE LINK IS AS FOLLOWS BELOW. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=K9JUTPQV2U8&T=11S

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING , THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED FROM THE PARK POSITION INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS, RAN OVER THE CONTACT, AND STRUCK A LIGHT POLE IN A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE'S BLACK BOX WAS EXAMINED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON THE BELTWAY GOING BETWEEN 5 -10 MILES PER HOUR ON A DRY ROAD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND IT CONTINUED FORWARD UNTIL I REAR ENDED THE OTHER CAR. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PUMP. NOT SURE IF THIS WAS THE ABS IN ACTION BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT REAR ENDED THE OTHER CAR. ONLY A SCRATCH WAS DONE TO THE OTHER CAR. THERE WAS ADEQUATE SPACE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE CAR THAT I REAR ENDED AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS JUST A COLLISION. BRAKES FAILED ME ON NEW CAR AND WAS TOTALED DUE TO ALL AIR BAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYING. INTERNET SAYS PREVIOUS CAMRYS HAVE HAD BRAKE FAILURES. I HAVE OWNED 2 CAMRYS THAT I DROVE 9 YEARS AND 16 YEARS AND NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. AGAIN A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAD FOR 7 MONTHS AND THE BRAKES FAILED ME. I HAVE TRIED TO HIRE A CAR INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE BRAKES BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO INVESTIGATES TOYOTA'S BRAKE FAILURES.

BOUGHT CAR NEW 03/16. INVOLVED IN MVA 06/01/16 WHERE WE WERE T-BONED BY A F150 TRUCK AT 30 MPH. THE TRUCK PEELED THE BODY OF CAR OFF THE FRAME FROM WHERE THE PASSENGER DOOR HINGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. DAMAGING SENSORS THAT WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SIDE AIRBAGS. THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, HINGES HAD TO BE REPLACED, TAIL LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS REPLACED, BOTH PASSENGER DOORS AND TIRES REPLACED. WHY DID THE SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY? TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT SINCE I HAD THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FIXED, THEY ARE NOT TO BE BLAMED. MY CHILD WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT. EVEN AFTER ALL REPAIRS TO THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THERE IS A LOUD WIND TUNNEL NOISE GOING THROUGH THE CAR. *TR
