PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO TWO PORCHES. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE CAR WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SLOT.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND STALLS OUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP VEHICLE. POWER BRAKES FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY ONCE CALL STALLS OUT CREATING A HAZARD. NO INJURIES OR CRASHES TO DATE BUT IN FEAR OF ONE OCCURRING. DEALERSHIP HAS MADE MANY ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS AS OF 11/11/04. REPLACED THE COMPUTER MODULE, SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, FUEL INJECTORS & CLEAN VALVES TO NO AVAIL. *JB

FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HAS LOOSE TRACK AND ROCKS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER ATTEMPTED A QUICK FIX PER TSB TO NO AVAIL. TOYOTA REP ADVISED TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THE SEAT TRACK, BUT DEALER STATED I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE $350.00 LABOR CHARGE. I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON DEFECT, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. IF THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT, MATERILAS AND LABOR SHOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OF TOYOTA. *AK

MY WIFE'S 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS AN AIR CONDITIONER ODOR. WE HAVE BEEN LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT IT MAY BE CAUSED BY THE A/C GETTING TOO COLD, FREEZING UP, AND ACTUALLY CAUSING MOLD IN THE A/C SYSTEM. SHE HAS DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND NOW HAS CANCER. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO RID THE CAR OF THE ODOR. DOESN'T EXPOSURE TO MOLD, IF SO, CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS? WE SPENT A YEAR TRYING TO LOCATE AN ODOR IN THE CAR. REPLACED MATS, DETAILED THE UPHOLSTRY, ETC. *AK

THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WAS REPLACED DUE TO AN INTERNAL LEAK INSIDE THE CANISTER. *NM *JB

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL OF OUR 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY SUDDENLY CAME OFF FROM THE AXEL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (AROUND 65 MPH). THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE 78 HIGHWAY IN PA. THIS LEAD TO CAR SINKING TO THE LEFT AND HITTING THE GUARD RAIL, THEN SPNNING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, HITTING THE OTHER GUARD RAIL. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. PEOPLE WERE INJURED, ONE PERSON AT THE BACK SEAT HAD HEAD INJURY, ONE HAS HAD CHRONIC NECK PROBLEMS SINCE THEN, OTHERS KEEP HAVING NECK TROUBLES OFF AND ON. THE WHEEL JUMPED THE MEDIAN AND FLEW OFF TO THE OTHERSIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE COMING OFF OF THE WHEEL WAS SUDDEN, GIVING NO TIME TO THE DRIVER TO DO ANYTHING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ONLY HAD ROUGHLY 55,000 MILES ON IT AND WE HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTIPOINT INSPECTION SERVICE ON THE CAR ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO AXEL RELATED PROBLEM INDICATED IN THE SERVICE. THAT SERVICE WAS DONE BY A TOYOTA DEALER. THE ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND US ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE WHEEL COMING OFF WOULD HAVE HAD FATAL RESULTS.*AK
