2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY ABOUT 19,000 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE STRUTS USUALLY LAST FOR 70,000 MILES AND THEY MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND HAND ON SHIFT TO PUT IN PARK, WHEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION STARTED, AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED BY ME, MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WAS HEADED TO GO THRU A LABORATORY WINDOW(PEOPLE INSIDE) I PRAYED NOT TO HIT THE BUILDING, THEN MY LEFT HAND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL FAST TO THE LEFT, MISSED THE LAB, AND HIT THE CORNER OF A WALL.

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD CLOSE MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT WOULD HANG A LITTLE BIT. EVENTUALLY, IT STATED HANGING TO WHERE IT WAS ALWAYS DOWN. FINALLY, THE MOUNT (OR WHATEVER THE PART IS THAT IT CLIPS INTO) BROKE OFF SO I HAD TO REMOVE IT. NOW THAT IT IS MUCH SUNNIER MOST DAYS, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE SUN VISOR, ALSO, I AM NOW STARTING TO HEAR THE POPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND IT IS STARTING TO HANG A LITTLE BIT. *TR

THE NEW FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADRESTS FORCE YOUR HEAD TO BE AGAINST THE HEADREST AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK SIDE TO SIDE, FORCES YOUR HEAD FORWARD SO YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN RATHER THAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PUTS A STRAIN ON THE BACK. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING WHICH PUTS YOU AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EXCESSIVELY.
