JANUARY 31,2005 DEAR TOYOTA CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE: I HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA OWNER AND BUYER SINCE 1976. I PURCHASE A NEW TOYOTA ABOUT EVERY TWO OR THREE YEARS. I PRESENTLY HAVE A 2002 CAMRY XLE THAT A PURCHASED NEW FROM STEVENS TOYOTA, HUNTING STATION,NY 11746, TEL # 631-423-5013 IN 2002. THE VEHICLE HAS REFORMED VERY GREAT WITH LITTLE OR NO PROBLEMS AS ALL MY PAST TOYOTAS. THE OTHER MORNING I WENT IS OPEN MY GAS FILLER CAP AND THE CAP BROKE IN THREE PIECES LEAVING ONE PIECE STILL IN THE FILLER LINE AND THE OTHER TWO PIECES IN MY HAND. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE PIECE OFF AND FILL THE CAR WITH GAS AFTER A PERIOD TIME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE GAS CAP HAS OF THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THAT TOTOTA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE GAS FILLER GAS FILLER CAP. DID TOYOTA RECALL THEIR GAS CAPS OR REPLACING THEM UNDER A GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS POLICY?*AK VEHICLE ID # [XXX] #[XXX] CAMRY HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU BEFORE I PURCHASE MY NEXT TOYOTA. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE; WHICH ALMOST CAUSD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST , BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THAT WAS THE WAY THE ABS WAS SUPPOSE TO OPERATE. *JB

I BELIEVE THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2002 ARE TOO SENSITIVE. THEY ENGAGE WAY TOO EARLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. WHEN THERE IS A LITTLE SNOW ON THE ROAD AND I AM TRAVELING EVEN AT A SNAILS PACE AND TRY TO STOP, THE BRAKES ENGAGE CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID THROUGH THE LIGHT. EVERY OTHER CAR I DROVE SLOWED TO A STOP. *NM

THE THROTTLE STUCK WIDE OPEN ON THE CAR WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, FROM A PARKED POSITION. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO GO COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL STRIKING SEVERAL OBJECTS COMING TO REST IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD. *NM

WHILE PULLING INTO A PET STORE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A RETAINING WALL IN FRONT OF THE STORE. THERE WERE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS INVOLVING THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE IN THE HOUR IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE CRASH OCCURRED. *JB

BRAKES ON THE 2002 TO PRESENT CAMRYS, I HAVE CHANGED THE WHOLE SYSTEMS OUT, AND I KEEP TELLING TECH SUPORT THAT THE FLUID DRAINS BACK INTO THE MASTERCYLINDER FROM THE LINE THAT LOOPS UP ON NON ABS SYSTEMS, THE LINES LEAK ON THE ABS SYSEM DUE TO UNDER TIGHTING. THEY TELL US THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MADE TO BE SOFT FROM COMPLAINTS OF PREVIOUS OWNERS THIS IS ON 02 AND PRESENT. I SEE ALL THE BELOW BUT WHY WAIT BERFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED,SOMTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW. I WORK AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR 12 YEARS NOW AND THIS KEEPS GETTING SHOVED UNDER THE RUG, THE DESIGN IS A DEFECT IN IT SELF. AT LEAST DO THIS TEST, DRIVE A 02- 04 CAMRY NON ABS, 2AZ ENG 4 CYL, FIND A SAFE ROAD, RUNNING ABOUT50- 80, SLAM ON THE BRAKES, TO THE FLOOR THEY GO. HOPE NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF YOU. MAY NOT DO IT ON EVERY ONE. FIND ONE THAT WILL ,THEN BLEED THEM, STILL SOFT BUT WILL STOP BETTER,WAIT AWHILE THEN TRY IT AGAIN, TO THE FLOOR THEY GO. SORRY ABOUT THE FAKE NAME AND ALL BUT I WOULDEN BE WORKING AT TOYOTA OR ANY DEARLERSHIP VERY LONG REPORTING SOMTHING LIKE THIS. CALL ME A RAT IF YOU LIKE BUT THEN SAY,MAYBE HE IS JUST THINKING ABOUT ME AND MY LOVED ONES. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS TURN INTO A FIRESTONE THING.*AK
