TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED UP TO SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE ONTO CEMENT PAVEMENT, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTINUED TO APPLY ABRUPT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT DID NOT FEEL THAT THE REMEDY OFFERED CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,614 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,650.

THE RECALL REPAIR ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY RESULTED IN THEM FILING DOWN THE BOTTOM AND LEFT LOWER SIDE OF MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AS A RESULT, WHEN WEARING LEATHER SHOES MY FOOT HAS SLIPPED OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER, LEE'S TOYOTA OF JAMAICA, NY, INSISTS THAT THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THAT CAN BE DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL A PHOTO TO YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 CAMRY LE WHICH I PURCHASED THREE WEEKS AGO. THE CAR HAS BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 400-02 TIRES, WHICH HAD 689 MILES ON THEM. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE FAILED AT 60 MPH WHEN THE TREAD SPLIT. AFTER READING ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER TOYOTA CAR OWNERS, I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS. AFTER A VERY UGLY DISCUSSION WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THE ONE TIRE WAS REPLACED, BUT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPLACE THE REMAINING THREE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH ABOUT 7500 MILES. AT ABOUT 11:20 A.M. TODAY MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED AS I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON ARLINGTON MILL ROAD IN ARLINGTON, VA. WHEN THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND LOOKED AROUND FOR THE SOURCE. WHEN I LOOKED TO THE REAR I SAW THE WINDOW IN FRAGMENTS. I SAW NO ONE AROUND ME ALTHOUGH THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES STOPPED AT THE LIGHT BEHIND ME. THEY ALL DROVE AROUND AND CONTINUED ON WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED. I CROSSED THE LIGHT TO NOT HOLD UP TRAFFIC AND THEN CALLED AAA TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO. I TAKE PRODUCT PICTURES OF PRODUCTS I MARKET OVER THE INTERNET AND HAD A CAMERA WITH ME, SO I TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES. I DID NOT CALL THE POLICE AS I COULD SEE NO ONE WHO MIGHT HAVE FIRED A GUN OR THROWN A STONE. AAA ADVISED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AS IT WAS NOT SAFE TO OTHER DRIVERS IF SHATTERED GLASS FLEW OFF INTO THE ROAD WAY. I ALSO DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE OR IN ANY WAY DISTURB THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO EXAMINATION BY THE DEALER. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 82 DEGREES AND THE AC WAS ON. ALSO, THE SIDE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN TINTED DARK AS I HAD INTENDED TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR A LIVERY SERVICE. THERE IS NO TINT ON THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS. I RECEIVED THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NUMBER (1-800-331-4331) TO CALL TOYOTA, HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE PLACED ON HOLD FOR SIGNIFICANT PERIODS OF TIME. *TR

TUESDAY APRIL 27 I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 CAMRY IN THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS DESCENDING A MOUNTAIN ROAD. I TESTED DOWNSHIFTING AT SEVERAL SPEEDS INTO VARIOUS GEARS TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR UNDER RUNAWAY ACCELERATOR CONDITIONS. I HAD WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT BAD DRIVERS HAD FAILED TO USE THE CONTROLS OF THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP SUCH VEHICLES. THE COMPUTER REFUSED TO ACCEPT MY COMMAND TO DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25 MPH. I DID NOT TRY HIGHER SPEEDS INTO 2ND. CLEARLY THE PRODUCT MANAGER AND PROGRAM ENGINEERS AT TOYOTA DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT SAVING THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE FROM STRESS COULD LEAD TO DESTRUCTION OF THAT SAME CAR AND IT'S OCCUPANTS IN THEIR FOOLISH DECISION TO LIMIT DRIVER COMMAND AND CONTROL. A FAULT IN THE COMPUTER COULD LEAD TO ENTIRE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT COMMANDS AND ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM ECU. THIS SAME FLAWED THINKING HAS LED TO MANY AIRBUS AIRCRAFT FATAL CRASHES. THE FLIGHT CONTROL COMPUTER FEELS IT IS MORE INTELLIGENT THAT THE STUPID CAPTAIN AT THE CONTROLS SO IT WILL NOT ALLOW A FLIGHT CONTROL INPUT IT DOES NOT AGREE WITH. WHEN THE SENSORS ARE DEFECTIVE, OR THE FLIGHT ENVELOPE REQUIRES EMERGENCY ACTIONS, ETC., TOUGH LUCK. NOW, I REALIZE THAT TOYOTA HAS FOLLOWED THE SAME FLAWED THINKING. I AM AN INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT AND I BELIEVE THE OPERATOR SHOULD HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NO COMMAND INTERLOCKS TO PREVENT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS SHOULD BE TOLERATED. HOW CAN I TRUST THIS VEHICLE NOW THAT I KNOW IT WILL KILL DUE TO PROGRAMMING ERRORS EVEN IF I TRY TO REGAIN CONTROL IN A NORMAL MANNER? *TR
