I OWN A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE SPEAKER GRILLS ARE PLASTIC AND NOW HAVE CRUMBLE INTO LITTLE PIECES. MY CONCERN IS THIS MAKES THE CAR LOOK TERRIBLE BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR.. FOR EX. I WAS RIDING WITH FRIENDS AND WERE GETTING IN THE CAR. MY FRIEND EXCLAIMED "WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR SPEAKERS?" SECONDLY, THE SPEAKERS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE BUSTED BECAUSE THE PIECES ARE FALLING INTO THE SPEAKER.LAST, THIS COULD POSE AND SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE PIECES ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO BE INGESTED BY A SMALL CHILD. SOME MAY SAY THIS IS FAR REACH .. BUT I HAVE SEEN STRANGER THINGS HAPPEN. HELP !!!PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA STAND BY THERE PRODUCTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEEDS AND JUMPED A CURB, CRASHING INTO THE LIVING ROOM OF A NEARBY HOUSE. HE SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS BACK, NECK AND KNEES. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE BUT BELIEVED IT TO BE DRIVER'S ERROR. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED HIS INSURANCE COMPANY WAS HANDLING THE INVESTIGATION OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 84,702.

ON MAY 15, 2010, A SUNNY DAY, DRY STREETS AND WARM TEMPERATURE, I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 3 1/2 FEET BEHIND ONE CAR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. WITH MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE MY TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE BEGAN TO REV, AND IN JUST SECONDS, THERE WAS A "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" AND MY 2005 CAMRY CRASHED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME WHICH HAD A WRAP AROUND RUBBER STRIP IN THE REAR BUMPER. THE CRASH BOUNCED MY CAR BACK OVER A FOOT AND A HALF. I WENT FROM A TOTAL STOP TO A "RUN AWAY" 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. HAD I BEEN THE FIRST CAR AT THE STOP LIGHT AND MY TOYOTA HAD ACCELERATED INTO THAT BUSY INTERSECTION, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. TWO YOUNG MEN WITNESSED THIS ACCIDENT AND CAME RUNNING TO HELP. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT. AND NO CITATIONS WERE ISSUED. I PHONED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THEM. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT BUT MY NECK WAS SNAPPED. ON JUNE 7, 2010 TOYOTA PHONED TO SAY THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT" AND THAT TOYOTA IS NEITHER LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AND THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON JUNE 9, 2010.. IRONICALLY ABOUT 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO MY "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" ANOTHER RESIDENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT LIVING RETIREMENT COMMUNITY WITH AN IDENTICAL MODEL TOYOTA HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. HER CAR CRASHED INTO THE CEMENT WALL OF THE UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE AND THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND SHE WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HER TOYOTA. I WILL NEVER BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THAT CAR AGAIN WHEN IT IS STARTED. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND THE TRAUMA IT HAS CAUSED WILL NOT BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO BE REPEATED. MY CAR IS SHOWROOM QUALITY WITH ONLY 18,000+ MILES. TOYOTA HAS OFFERED NOTHING TO HELP REPLACE THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT BEGINNING IN 2011 TOYOTA VEHICLES WILL HAVE AN "OVERRIDE BRAKE SYSTEM" WHICH SURELY INDICATES THE COMPANY KNOWS SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY DEFECTIVE IN THEIR ENGINEERING AND DESIGNING. *TR

I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND I WAS MERGING TO ANOTHER FREEWAY I WAS ON THE 5 MERGING TO THE 118 AND THAT IS WHERE I NOTICED THE GAS PEDAL ACCELERATED AND I COULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS TRYING TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CAR AND GO WITH THE CURVE AND IT WOULDN'T, I THEN HIT HE WALL 3 TIMES AND FLIPPED MY CAR. I DID NOTICE THIS A MONTH PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A GROVE IN THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME I COULD NOT STOP OR CONTROL THE CAR. I GET ON THE SAME FREEWAY EVERYDAY IT WAS 5:30 IN THE MORNING ON THE 7TH OF MARCH, I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MILES WHEN I STARTED TO EXCEL THE PEDAL TO CONTINUE ON TO THE OTHER FREEWAY OVERPASS. I HAVE BEEN GOING ON THIS FREEWAY TO WORK FOR 7 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN INCIDENT EXCEPT FOR THE MONTH BEFORE. AGAIN I THOUGHT IT WAS A GROOVE IN THE HIGHWAY. I DID HEAR ON THE NEWS WHEN I GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL THAT THERE WAS PROBLEMS WITH THE 2005 TOYOTA CARS AND THE STEERING COLUMN SNAPS AND LOSES CONTROL. WHICH WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, I DID CONTACT TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL THAT IT WAS THE 2006 THAT WAS BEING RECALLED FOR THE GAS PEDAL. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE FLOOR MAT THAT GOT STUCK UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NO RECALL ON THE FLOOR MATS. I FEEL IT WAS VERY WRONG FOR THEM TO KIND OF CUT ME SHORT. I DID SUFFER INJURIES, CUTS AND BRUISES NOT TO MENTION TOTALING MY CAR. INSURANCE DID PAY OFF MY CAR, BUT SUCH A HUGE ORDEAL TRYING TO GET MONEY TOGETHER TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE MYSELF A RICH WOMEN I JUST WANT TOYOTA TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A HORRIBLE THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME AND THANK GOD NO ONE ELSE WAS INVOLVED. ATTORNEYS DO NOT WANT TO HELP ME FOR SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION OF THE ORDEAL I WENT THROUGH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. I AM DOING ALOT BETTER NOW, BUT THEY DID STOP THE DOCTOR VISITS AND THERAPY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I MAY GET NOTHING OUT OF THIS AND HAVE TO PAY THE BILLS MYSELF. *TR
