TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

CLICKING WHEN IN REVERSE AND APPLING BRAKES SHIFTING BRAKE PADS ? COMING TO STOP CAR SEEMS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL ( BETTER GAS MILEAGE) ? GOING UP HILL 70 T0 75 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT 1 OR 2 GEARS THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR PROGRAMED . ON ALL ISSUES TOYOTA CLAIMS THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THE CAR IS OPERATING ACCORDING TO SPECS . THEY TELL ME THE CAR IS SAFE I HAVE CONCERNS AS TO HOW . WHY IS THEIR A NOISE IN THE BRAKES ? WHY IS THE CAR DOWN SHIFTING THEY SAY THEIR IS A DISCLAIMER NOT TO USE CRUISE IN MOUNTAINS . THEY SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEMS THEY CAN`T FIX

WHILE PARKED THE POWER STEERING ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FAILED, RENDERING THE STEERING INEFFECTIVE. AT SPEED THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM NOW VERY FEARFUL OF MY WIFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A SYSTEM AS CRITICAL AS THE STEERING UNIT THAT FAILS PREMATURELY WHEN ONLY 2YRS. OLD.

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 26MPH INTO AN INTERSECTION AND MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR NO REASON. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, I STARTED PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER MA 10/22/2015 CARS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AS I KEPT PUMPING ON THE ACCELERATOR MY TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY DOWN SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE CAR TOOK OFF IN A GIANT LEAP FORWARD, ALMOST BROAD SIDING THE CAR THAT WAS PASSING IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR HAS CONTINUALLY STALLED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW? UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

WHEN ACCELERATING AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON IT TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 - 10 FEET AND HESITATE, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERYONE BEHIND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING AND THEY CLOSE BEHIND YOU ENOUGH TO ALMOST HIT YOU BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THE CARE HESITATES. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 TIMES. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

HESITATION OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, USUALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. CAR INITIALLY STARTS THEN HESITATES & FEELS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF. TO GET ACROSS THE INTERSECTION YOU NEED TO "FLOOR IT" WHICH MAKES THE ENGINE "ROAR" BUT LITTLE ACTION FOR ALL THE NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 2 YRS (ESTIMATED DATE & MILEAGE FOR 1ST OCCURRENCE). SOMETIMES THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. IT IS DANGEROUS & I LACK CONFIDENCE AT TIMES TO PULL OUT. THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM WHEN MENTIONED ON 2 STOPS AT THE DEAL FOR AN OIL CHANGE. TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE UPDATE MADE NO DIFFERENCE. MY PREVIOUS CAMRY NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.
