2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH, A VEHICLE RAN THE STOP SIGN ON A SIDE STREET ON TO THE STREET MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON, AND SHE HIT THE VEHICLE BROADSIDE. HER SAFETY BELT WAS SECURELY FASTENED, HOWEVER THE SHOULDER PORTION OF THE BELT GAVE WAY, AND MY WIFE STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL WITH HER CHEST, PINNING HER WRIST IN BETWEEN HERSELF AND THE STEERING WHEEL. THE AIRBAGS ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

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.

WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY I PRESS ON GAS PEDDLE TO INCREASE SPEED THE CAR HESITATES BEFORE IT PICKS UP SPEEDS.THIS CAN AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ MANY REPORTS OF THIS HESITATION PROBLEM. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM .THANK YOU *TR

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR HESITATES AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. THIS IN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT 34,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS.

WEIRD SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ACTIVATED. THE SMELL INDICATES MOLD BUILDUP WITHIN THE VENTS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS THAT MENTION THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (SOME PEOPLE ARE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD) AND MAY CAUSE DRIVER IMPAIRMENT AS A RESULT. VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA OFFERED SERVICES TO REPLACE THE VENTING SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAY. I AM LUCKY THAT IT'S ONLY WHEN I HAVE CIRCULATION ON WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WITH HEATING THE INTERIOR AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEARS (2012-2014) OF CAMRYS. THIS SMELL OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO GO AWAY WHEN NOT IN CIRCULATION MODE ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLS.

ON 11/5/2016 EARLY AFTERNOON WAS PARKING CAR WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND RAN INTO A BRICK WALL AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL MOVED IT INTO REVERSE. THIS HAPPENED IN LANCASTER CA. ALSO HAD A 2013 CAMRY THAT DID THE SAME THING IN LANCASTER CA.

I SEEN THAT SOMEONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS BRAKING WHEN THEY PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAMRY AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS TRYING TO FIX THERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. SO, I HAD A PROBLEM HAVING MY LEFT FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. I JUST STOPPED TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. TRY EXCELLERATING THEN TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY WHILE STILL EXCELLERATING AND SEE IF THIS SLOWS THE CAR FROM EXCELLERATING. THAT MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

CAR FEELS VERY SLUGGISH LIKE SOMEBODY IS BREAKING ALL THE TIME WHEN ACCELERATING IT DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY. AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AT TIMES. I TOLD THEM SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT THAT I FELT THIS I ONLY KNOW WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE DUE TO AN ISSUE I HAD MY LAST CAR WHICH WAS A NISSAN ARMADA PATHFINDER 2004.

I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR COLLISION ON THE FREEWAY FAST LANE. CAR IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE, FLUID LEAKING, HOOD LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE DOWN TACO SHELL, LIGHTS SMASHED IN-BROKEN, AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE, DRIVER DOOR IS STUCK FROM THE IMPACT-AGAIN NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.
