FIRST INCIDENT WAS IT SPEEDING UP AND GOING THROUGH GARAGE DOOR. IN MARCH, 2015 WAS INCIDENT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE THAT THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN SURGED FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE IN. LATER THAT DAY COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE, IT SURGED FORWARD WHEN FOOT ON BRAKE, SLOWING FOR STOP SIGN AT END OF EXIT RAMP. CAR SURGED FORWARD AND I WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND BARELY MISSED HITTING 2 CARS. *TR

I WAS EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE A LOT HARDER AND THE ABS ACTIVATED. *TR THIS IS A HYBRID VEHICLE AND THE BRAKING IS DIFFERENT THAN WITH REGULAR CARS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA VERY SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THIS WAS THE ONLY INCIDENT.

I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO VERIFY THAT THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND HEARD SOMETHING HUMMING IN THE GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING THE SOUND IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT MADE SENSE TO ME WAS THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING. I PROCEEDED TO GET THE KEYS AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO ON WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR AND THEN BACK TO OFF. THE HUMMING STOPPED. I DID REMEMBER HEARING A SECOND HUMMING SOUND START AND STOP WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE NORMAL FUEL PUMP CYCLING FOR AN ENGINE START SEQUENCE. I AM WONDERING IF WHAT I ORIGINALLY HEARD MAY HAVE BEEN A RELIEF VALVE SLOWLY BLEEDING OFF PRESSURE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELIEF VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT FOR PIECE OF MIND. THIS DID ALL OCCUR BETWEEN 4-5 HOURS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK STRUT FAILED TO KEEP THE TRUNK OPEN DUE TO IT BEING FRACTURED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT TOYOTA HAD CHRONIC FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLES AND THAT THE ROD ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRACTURE WAS DUE TO THE CONTACT'S UPKEEP OF THE TRUNK; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RARELY USED THE TRUNK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 5/12/15*CN

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN OMITTING A FOUL, MOLDY, MILDEWY, BAD BO (BODY ODOR), MUSTY, SOUR SMELL SINCE ONLY OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN HALF A YEAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY/HEALTH ISSUE & NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED ASAP. I MYSELF HAVE ALLERGIES & THE SMELL BLOWING OUT FROM THE VENTS ON A DAILY BASIS IS CAUSING ME TO BE VERY SICK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES & THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLES & THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO ADDRESS OR REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

RIGHT FRONT STRUT LEAKING OIL AND TOP BEARING DEFECTIVE. DEALER REPLACED STRUT AND BEARING. CLUMSY MECHANIC ALSO DENTED TOP RIGHT FRONT FENDER! *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM, ON 3/10/2015, WHILE MY WIFE WAS MAKING THE FINAL APPROACH (APPROXIMATELY 5 FT.) TO A PARKING SPOT AT THE MILL BAKERY, NAVOO, IL; SHE EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ACCELERATION. THE HYBRID CAR WAS RUNNING ON ITS ELECTRIC MOTOR WHEN MY WIFE BEGAN TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP. WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR TURNED ON THE GAS ENGINE AND ACCELERATED WITH ENOUGH SPEED TO LEAVE LEAVE RUBBER TIRE MARKS ON THE PARKING SURFACE. THE CAR JUMPED THE PARKING BARRIER AND DAMAGED THE LOWER PORTION OF THE RIGHT-FRONT BUMPER. MY WIFE CONTINUED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED TO OUR HOME IN MISSOURI ON 3/11/2015, I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE TOYOTA COMPANY, MY LOCAL DEALER AND INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
