2014 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER DRIVER. THE CONTACT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES TO THE NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HYBRID ON NOVEMBER 3, 2014. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE EMITS A FOUL ORDER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, AND TOYOTA IS STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO DO A FOAM CLEAN OF THE SYSTEM AND INSTALL A CHARCOAL FILTER FOR THE TUNE OF $150 WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND WE ARE JUST NOW COMING IN TO WARM WEATHER IN MY PART OF THE US, SO THAT'S WHY I'M NOTICING THE SMELL AT THIS TIME.

REAR VIEW MIRROR, NIGHT TIME DRIVING, VIEWING OF VEHICLES APPROACHING FROM REAR IS DISTORTED BY THE BRIGHT IMAGE THAT APPEARS IN THE MIRROR. THIS MAKE DRIVING UNSAFE AS YOUR EYES HAVE TO READJUST TO VIEWING THE ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. PLUS IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS EXITING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE A LOT HARDER AND THE ABS ACTIVATED. *TR THIS IS A HYBRID VEHICLE AND THE BRAKING IS DIFFERENT THAN WITH REGULAR CARS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA VERY SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THIS WAS THE ONLY INCIDENT.

AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM, ON 3/10/2015, WHILE MY WIFE WAS MAKING THE FINAL APPROACH (APPROXIMATELY 5 FT.) TO A PARKING SPOT AT THE MILL BAKERY, NAVOO, IL; SHE EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ACCELERATION. THE HYBRID CAR WAS RUNNING ON ITS ELECTRIC MOTOR WHEN MY WIFE BEGAN TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP. WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR TURNED ON THE GAS ENGINE AND ACCELERATED WITH ENOUGH SPEED TO LEAVE LEAVE RUBBER TIRE MARKS ON THE PARKING SURFACE. THE CAR JUMPED THE PARKING BARRIER AND DAMAGED THE LOWER PORTION OF THE RIGHT-FRONT BUMPER. MY WIFE CONTINUED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. WHEN MY WIFE RETURNED TO OUR HOME IN MISSOURI ON 3/11/2015, I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE TOYOTA COMPANY, MY LOCAL DEALER AND INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A DRY AND LEVEL INTERSECTION,WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSEN UP AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AFTER I PUSHED VERY HARD ON THE PEDAL. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A SINGLE DAY. *TR
