2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY,FOOT ON BRAKE SPEED 10MPH.SLOWING TO STOP WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE BY ITSELF.I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED FULL BRAKES,VEHICLE CAME TO STOP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REALLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA ON MONDAY 7/28/2014 TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. UPDATED 4/8/2015 *JS

APPROACHING STOP SIGN, APPLIED BRAKE AND ENGINE ACCELERATED AND LUNGED FORWARD. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGINE SLOWED DOWN. WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN AND LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT A TRUCK. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WE EVEN TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS A WEEK AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" AND THERE WAS A SENSOR IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IF YOU GOT TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT WOULD MAKE THE CAR STOP. *TR

AFTER 3 DAYS I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO LOOKING FOR THE TRUNK LOCK - I.E . THE KEY LOCK FEATURE THAT DISABLES THE TRUNK RELEASE NEXT TO THE DRIVER. ONLY THERE ISN'T ONE! HOW COULD THIS BE? MY RECENTLY TRADED 2003 HONDA AND OLDER HONDA'S I'VE OWNED ALL HAD THIS FEATURE - I ASSUMED TOYOTA DID TOO - A DETAIL THAT DIDN'T LOOM LARGE WHEN INITIALLY REVIEWING THE CAR BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT HAD ONE. SO AFTER RESEARCH AND MUCH TO MY DISMAY (I RETURNED A PERFECT 2014 RAV4 BECAUSE I FELT "EXPOSED" WITH ITEMS IN THE INTERIOR LUGGAGE AREA) I NOW FIND THIS VEHICLE ALSO "EXPOSES" ME TO POTENTIAL LOSS BECAUSE I CANNOT SECURE MY PERSONAL ITEMS. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMMENT TO THIS FLAW AND TOYOTA CERTAINLY HAS HAD TIME TO CORRECT THE ISSUE (2 YRS) BUT APPARENTLY DECIDED NOT TO. TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THIS FLAW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - THE BEST SELLING CAR IN AMERICA CAN BE A THIEF'S BEST TOO. *TR

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 CAMRY SE ON 6-21-2014...DROVE IT LAST NIGHT TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS EXCESSIVELY DISTORTED...THROUGH MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR I AM UNABLE TO DISCERN: THE NUMBER OF CARS BEHIND ME...POSITION OF CARS IN WHICH LANES THEY ARE TRAVELING...UNABLE TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE IS BEHIND ME (I.E. 18 WHEELER, MOTORCYCLE OR A CAR WITH ONE OR TWO HEADLIGHTS). AS I LOOK THROUGH THE REAR MIRROR LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT, IMAGES GET SMALLER THEN BIG THEN BACK TO SMALLER AND SO FORTH. THIS IS ONGOING AND DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CHANGE LANES LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT TELL WHO OR WHAT WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE I THINK... CAN YOU HELP ME? THANKS *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED, 2014 SE V6 CAMRY WITH 60MILES ON IT, ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD NOW, I DIDN'T NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65+ THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, CAR WILL NOT COME BACK TO CENTER WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, I CAN LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO TURN. FEELS LIKE IM DRIVING ON A VERY RAINY/WINDY DAY, VERY FLIMSY. I WOULD HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT, BROUGHT IT IN TO TOYOTA DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW, HAD 2 ALIGNMENTS DONE BY TOYOTA, STILL NO HELP, ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS, "THATS HOW THE CAR IS DESIGNED", AFTER THAT THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS DEFECTIVE TIRES, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE, I SWAPPED OUT THE TIRES, STILL DIDN'T HELP. SO YOU ARE TELLING ME A CAR THAT DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER IS NORMAL?? I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL?? VERY VERY BAD PERFORMANCE, I WILL NOT LET MY MOTHER DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES, VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

CAR IS STOPPED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, A/C IS ON. UPON RELEASING BRAKE BEFORE PLACING FOOT ON GAS THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. THE ENGINE RPM MEASURED AT DEALER WAS 640 TO 670. A REQUEST TO INCREASE IDLE RPM TO 700/750 WAS DENIED. THE ANSWER WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALER THAT RPM IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME OR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR

NEW CAR PURCHASE. 40 YEAR BUYER OF TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DISCONTINUED A KEY TRUNK LOCKING FEATURE INCLUDED IN ALL PREVIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF TOYOTA. THEY PROVIDE A "VALET KEY" WHICH KEEPS VALETS OUT OF THE GLOVE BOX BUT NOT OUT OF THE TRUNK AS WAS THE CASE WITH ALL PREVIOUS VALET KEYS PROVIDED WITH MY PREVIOUS 3 CAMRY'S AND 2 COROLLAS. TOYOTA DEALER ADVISE ME THAT I COULD GET A KEY LOCKING TRUNK ON THE AVALON A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. HE ALSO SUGGESTED I COULD GET ANOTHER MANUFACTURERS CAR. HONDA HAS KEY LOCKING TRUNKS. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION OF AMERICA RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION THAT I NOT STORE VALUABLE IN THE TRUNK OR TO REMOVE ALL VALUABLES FROM THE TRUNK WHILE TRAVELING. SINCE THE TRUNK RELEASE CAN BE TRIGGERED BY ANYONE SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE TRUNK CAN FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ALLOWING THE CONTENTS TO BE BLOWN OUT OF THE TRUNK AN INTO THE PATH OF FOLLOWING VEHICLES. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP A KERCHIEF THAT FELL TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE KERCHIEF CAUGHT ON THE RELEASE ANT THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK DID BLOCK MY REAR VIEW UNTIL I COULD SAFELY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO CLOSE IT. TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE NO KEY LOCK TRUNK WAS A DESIGN ERROR AND MY CONCERN WOULD BE FORWARDED TO SOME DEPARTMENT OR OTHER FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR FUTURE DESIGNS? *TR

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD AND MATERIALS USED IN MAKING IT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EVENING OF 25TH APRIL, 2014 DURING RAIN AND I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IF ANY THING HIT AS A PROJECTILE TO MY WINDSCREEN BUT IN THE MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK WHICH HAD SPREAD GREATER THAN A FOOT IN LENGTH. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AND SECONDARY CONCERN IS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT VS REPAIR. IF THE CRACK HAD NOT SPREAD AT SUCH AN ALARMING RATE, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A REPAIR WHICH COSTS 8 TIMES LESS THAN REPLACEMENT COST WHICH IS BEING COVERED BY MYSELF AND INSURANCE. IT JUST MAKES ME QUESTION THE TYPE OF MATERIALS USED, POSSIBILITY OF SUPPLIER MANUFACTURING ISSUE, SOME ISSUE WITH THE RAW MATERIALS USED IN MAKING THE GLASS MOLD BUT OVERALL IT JUST HAS GREATLY DISAPPOINTED ME IN TOYOTA BRAND. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF SUCH REPLACEMENTS BUT I WAS HOPING THAT TOYOTA WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST TAKE THIS SAMPLE AND ANALYZE IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT A TREND AND JUST A SINGLE INCIDENT OF BAD PRODUCT QUALITY. *JS
