2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

MY FATHER WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO PARKING SPACE AT VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH FORCE THAT IT JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE LIGHT POLE. MY FATHER'S FEET WERE NOT ON THE GAS PADDLE. HE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THIS IS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 3/28/2014 I WAS HEADING WEST OFF OF MIKE PADGETT HIGHWAY IN AUGUSTA GA AFTER I HAD MADE ALL OF CURVES ON THE ON RAMP I STARTED TO SPEED UP SO I COULD MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON THE 520 BYPASS WHEN MY CAR VEERED TO THE LEFT HITTING A CONCRETE BARRIER I MANAGED TO JERK THE CAR BACK TO THE RIGHT I PULLED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND RIM WAS RUINED I PUT THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE TRUNK ON IT WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE FORWARD IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND I GOT BACK OUT OF MY CAR AND SAW THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE POINTED INWARD I THEN GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CAREFULLY GOT IT OFF OF THE ON RAMP TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED TOYOTA CAR THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO WHERE I WAS AND TOWED MY CAR TO MILTON RUEBEN TOYOTA I PURCHASED THE 2014 CAMRY ON 3/27/2014, THE CAR WAS ADDED TO MY POLICY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THEY GAVE ME A RUN AROUND, I SUBMITTED THE DOCUMENTS REQUESTED IMMEDIATELY AND A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED, THEN THEY TOLD ME ON THE 8 APRIL 2014 AND THEY SAID THAT [XXX] WOULD LOOK AT IT TODAY, SHE GAVE ME A CALL AND SAID THE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THEM LOOKING AT THE MECHANICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAD 125 MILES, AND THE BODY NEEDS TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THE ALIGNMENT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I DO? SINCE THE ACCIDENT MY LEFT LEG AND SMALL OF MY BACK HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME WHEN I HAD THE ACCIDENT I DIDN'T THINK I WAS HURT BUT SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE I TRIED TAKING PAIN PILLS BUT IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER . I HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT IN 2004 ON MY LEFT LEG AND THIS IS THE SIDE THAT IS BOTHERING ME NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE HAS LOW (RPM) 650-670 WHEN STOPPED WITH BRAKE APPLIED ON SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED CAR ROLLS BACKWARD BEFORE GAS CAN BE APPLIED. THE CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME IF TOO CLOSE, CAN BE HIT BY MY CAR ROLLING BACKWARDS IDLE RPM SHOULD BE INCREASED TOO 750-800 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM TOYOTA SAID THEY CAN NOT ADJUST THE IDLE RPM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SUBURBAN TOYOTA. WITHIN A MONTH I STARTED GETTING SEVERE NECK PAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. DEALER CHECKED AND SUGGESTED EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT WITH THE SEATS. FEB 28TH - I WAITED FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR SO AND WENT FOR FIRST SERVICE AROUND 4,700 MILES...AGAIN I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I CAN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER AND THE ISSUE WITH THE "HEAD REST" NEED TO BE FIXED. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY DO NOT SEE MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE SEAT. FEB 28TH - AS MY GRIEVANCES WERE NOT ADDRESSED, I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT (800) 331-4331 AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT BUT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY ISSUES RELATED TO SEAT OR HEAD REST FOR CAMRY 2014 MODEL CARS. MY NECK PAIN IS INCREASING AS I DRIVE THIS CAR. I SUSPECT THAT THERE MUST BE DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS MODEL YEAR CAMRY. I SINCERELY REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS IT WOULD LEAD TO PHYSICAL DISABILITY OVER A PERIOD. *TR

WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF SEAT FABRIC NOT MEETING FLAMMABLE STANDARDS ON 2014 TOYOTA'S WITH HEATED SEATS AND ORDERING THEIR DEALERS TO STOP SELLING AFFECTED VEHICLES UNTIL THEY GET NEW SEAT FABRIC, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING MY HEATED SEATS. IF TOYOTA CAN NOT OR WILL NOT SELL ANY MORE VEHICLES UNTIL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED, FOR THE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND OF ALL CURRENT OWNERS, THIS ISSUE MUST ALSO BE ADDRESSED, RECALLED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE USED THIS FEATURE DAILY DURING THIS COLD WINTER AND WILL NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DOING SO UNTIL IT HAS BEEN FIXED. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE A RECALL OF EXISTING VEHICLES BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FIRE NOT AFTER ONE OCCURS. THE HEATED CAR SEAT IS A SEASONAL USE FEATURE WHERE THE DEGRADATION OF THE MATERIAL AND POSSIBLE RESULTING FIRE MAY NOT SHOW UP FOR SEVERAL SEASONS. I, PERSONALLY, HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEATED SEAT AT THE HIGH SETTING BECOMES VERY HOT WHERE I CAN FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE THROUGH A HEAVY, WINTER COAT. WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE A SIGN OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
