2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND HESITATE FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS.IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH ON COMING CARS. IT IS INFREQUENT AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY 2/6/15 WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TO DEALER ON12/30/2014 AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS. *JS

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT TIS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THAT IS, IT DOESN'T HAPPENED ALL THE TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS VERY NEW -100KM - AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DEAD THEN A FEW MOMENTS LATER - 1-2 SECONDS - THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. THE NEXT IT HAPPENED WAS AT 2500 MILES AND THE CAR WAS ABOUT 20 MIN. INTO DRIVING IN THE LATE FALL . I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY. I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO TRAFFIC AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR JUST DIDN'T MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TOOK OFF SPINNING ITS WHEELS AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A VERY COLD DAY AND AGAIN I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AHEAD AND ... NOTHING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY DROVE IT FOR 20 MINUTES AND AFTER A CHARGE OF $24.00 THEY SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. I DID TELL THEM IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE OF THE LAPSE OF RESPONSE AND THEN A SUDDEN RESPONSE CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT I TRY NOT TO EXPECT IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM MY ACCELERATOR. HAS THERE BEEN ""HIDDEN RECALL" TO THIS PROBLEM?.....UPDATED 03-03-15 *BF UPDATED 3/24/2016 *JS UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN

I HAVE HAD A PERSISTENT NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT. I HAD TO THE DEALER ON 7/3/14 (HAD BEEN HEARING IT FOR SOME TIME BY THEN) BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN AND I DO PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V715000) FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL FOR A POSSIBLE LOWER ARM MALFUNCTION, ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN IT AT THIS TIME. SO I JUST WANT TO GET THIS NOTED, VIA THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

GAS PEDAL ON OCCASION FAILS TO MOVE CAR FORWARD, WHEN IT DOES THE AUTO JUMPS FORWARD. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THIS FAILURE. AUTO FEELS LIKE IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SUSPENSION. WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS, AUTO BOUNCES AROUND TURNS AS IF IT WAS GOING OVER SMALL SPEED BUMPS IN THE ROAD. WE TRAVEL ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND EVERY IMPERFECTION IS FELT BY ALL PASSENGERS, AND CAN BE SEEN IN VIBRATIONS NOTICED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THIS DEALER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTO, HOWEVER, WE HAD TO LEAVE THIS DEALERSHIP BEFORE FURTHER ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. OUR NEW LOCAL DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, OR SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

OWNER OF 2014 CAMRY SINCE MARCH 2014.IN DECEMBER 2014 I EXPERIENCE MY CAR HAVING ISSUES EVERY TIME I WILL GO ON REVERSE IT WILL MAKE A CLANK NOISE. THE MORE THE CAR WILL RUN THE WORSE THE NOISE GOT. FINALLY, I SET UP TIME WITH NORWALK TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO TAKE MY CAR AND GET IT SERVICE AND HAVE AN INSPECTION. I RECEIVED THE RESULTS ON 1/13/2015 DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS AND THE ENGINEERS CAME TO CONCLUSION OF REPAIRING TRANSMISSION. THE CLAIM IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION AT THIS MOMENT BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I NOTICED THERE IS 3 RECALLS WHICH WAS INFORMED TO ME BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY PERFORMED ONE. VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WITH TOYOTA WHICH HAS NOT HANDLED THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT CAN CAUSE AN INJURY OR UNSAFE OF HUMANS DRIVING THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR
