The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at 75 MPH, the vehicle drove over an unknown object on the roadway, and then veered to the left when she lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle drove to the median and the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately while the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle crashed into the guardrail and then rolled over into a ditch. The front windshield and the driver's and passenger's side front windows were shattered, and the driver's side front door was jammed. A bystander used a crowbar to break the driver's side front window and pulled the contact's daughter out of the vehicle. The air bags were not deployed upon impact. A police report was filed. The contact's daughter received medical attention for body aches. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FOLLOWING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT. I EXITED MY COMMUNITY, BY MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY, AND THE ROAD WAS DAMP DUR TO RECENT RAIN. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON A COUNTY ROAD (A TOTAL OF 2 LANES), UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION TO ENSURE I STAYED IN MY LANE. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE RIGHT SIDE WITHIN MY LANE AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE/DRIFT. AS THE CAR CONTINUED SLIDING THE RIGHT, IT WENT OUTSIDE MY LANE, HIT THE DIRT "SHOULDER", AND HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SWING TO THE LEFT. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE ROCKS, I FELT MY BODY LIFTED FROM MY SIT, BUT THE SEAT BELT HELD IT BACK. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT IN THE EVENT. THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARDS A SMALL RAVINE LOCATED BEHIND THREE TREES. I STEERED THE CAR TO HIT THE TREE INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO A SMALL RAVINE.
ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASH INTO A TREE. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH (BY ROUGHLY 1 MPH). I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE. THE ALABAMA STATE TROOPER WHO CAME AND TRIED TO ASSIST ME WAS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND APPEARED TO HAVE A UNCOOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH TOOK OVER ME, CAUSING ME TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND MAKE MY WALLET FALL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT FELL INTO A PILE OF LEAVES, WHICH WERE THE SAME COLOR OF THE WALLET (LIGHT LEATHER BROWN). LONG STORY SHORT, THE OFFICER GAVE ME A CITATION FOR NOT HAVING MY LICENSE WITH ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT I DID AND HE REFUSED TO TAKE AWAY THE CITATION. THE OFFICER ALSO SAID THAT HE WOULD WRITE ME UP FOR RECKLESS DRIVING, WHICH I WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD DO THAT, IF THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP IN MY CAR.

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

INCIDENT ON DECEMBER 31, 2014 ABOUT 11:30 AM IN WAYNE, PA: AT AN INTERSECTION AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN WHERE A CAR WAS ALREADY STOPPED, I APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE CAR FAILED TO STOP AND INSTEAD LURCHED FORWARD AND THE ENGINE INCREASED. THE NOISE WAS NOT OF THE BRAKES BUT OF THE ENGINE ROARING. AS THE CAR SURGED FORWARD,I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THEN REAPPLIED THEM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. AGAIN THE CAR DID NOT STOP BUT DID SLOW DOWN. THE THIRD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES DID STOP THE CAR JUST INCHES FROM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. THE NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JANUARY 13, 2015 WHEN THE SAME EXPERIENCE OCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO PERUZZI TOYOTA. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ON JANUARY 15, I TOOK THE UNSAFE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. ON JANUARY 16 AFTER COMPLETING WHAT THEY CALLED THE PROTOCOL FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THEY "RELEASED THE CAR" BACK TO ME HAVING NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY AND GAVE ME THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER PHONE NUMBER TO CALL. I CALLED THAT NUMBER AND WAS TOLD A CASE MANAGER WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN FOUR DAYS. MEANWHILE, I AM LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE CAR AND NO RECOURSE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
A RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE WAS INTERMITTENTLY BEING HEARD FROM THE BACK END DURING BRAKING AND, AT TIMES, DURING ACCELERATION. AFTER CONTACTING AN EMPLOYEE AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRYS AND THAT MOST LIKELY MY BRAKE PADS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, I WAS SHOWN ON MY BRAKES WHERE THEY HAD BECOME STUCK AND THE ROTORS NEEDED REPAIR AS WELL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THEN PERHAPS TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ABS AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED WITH FORCE. AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED TO THE FLOORBOARD, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 9/19/14*CN UPDATED 02/12/2015 *JS
DURING WINTER PERIOD BELOW 30 DEGREES F IT IS NECESSARY TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS AS IF THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLYING PROPERLY. THIS RESULTED IN SNOWY CONDITION THE CAR SLID AND RESULTED IN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN COLD WEATHER. *TR
NEW BRAKES WERE PUT ON MY CAR ON 11/23/13. A SHORT TIME LATER, I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. UPON DOING SO THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN AND WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAKS THEY WOULD NOT WORK. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, I MADE A SHARP RIGHT 90 DEGREE TURN TO AVOID GOING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE ROAD WAS NOT WET BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. I RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE SITUATION AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN IF THE ROAD IS DRY ONCE IT RAINS, THE ROAD CAN STILL HAVE PARTICLES ON IT THAT CAUSE THE ABS TO KICK IN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IN THE PAST MONTH, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN LATE FEB. AND HE WENT OVER A VERY SMALL PILE OF LEAVES THAT WOULD NOT WARRANT THE ABS TO KICK IN. HE TOO WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A WRECK. CAR WENT BACK TO DEALER BUT DEALER CAN FIND WHAT WAS WRONG. THE ABS SEVERELY REACTS WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. THE ABS IS ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. IF ONE GOES OVER A ROAD THAT IS BARELY WET OR A SMALL PATCH OF DRIVE LEAVES, AS I DID THE OTHER NIGHT, THE ABS KICKS IN AND LOCKS UP THE CAR. WHEN I TOUCH ON THE BREAKS LIGHTLY COMING TO A STOP, THERE ARE NO BREAKS AND THEN THEY SUDDENLY GRAB REALLY HARD. BREAKS FEEL LIKE AIR IS IN THE LINE. THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THEY PUT NEW BREAKS IN MY CAR AT 30,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS WHINING, SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING IT AT LEAST UNTIL THIS COMING WED. WHEN A TOYOTA FIELD INSPECTOR WILL BE COMING TO INSPECT THE CAR. *TR
ABS INDICATOR AND SLIP INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR/STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 3400.00. I ONLY HAVE 21000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE OTHER 2011 CAMRY'S WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
DRIVING DOWN RD WENT TO BRAKE WOULDN'T STOP STEERING THREW US IN A DITCH-FIELD HIT A SIGN STILL COULD NOT STOP. *TR
THE BRAKES WERE MAKING NOISE. TOOK IN THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE REAR BRAKES WERE HANGING UP. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PADS WERE DISCOLORED. THE RIGHT REAR CALIPERS HAD BLACK MATERIAL ON THE INSIDE NEXT TO THE PADS. THE PADS AND CALIPERS ON BOTH REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED. YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. *JS
I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE PUTTING GREEN AT MY CONDOMINIUM. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, AND HIT A CONCRETE BENCH PLACED AT THE EDGE OF THE GREEN. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFUL IT DESTROYED THE BENCH, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE JACKED UP TO GET IT OFF A LARGE PIECE OF CONCRETE. THANK GOODNESS THE GOLFER WAS NOT CLOSE TO THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED FOR $2,410.58 IN DAMAGES. BEING AFRAID THAT THIS "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" WOULD OCCUR AGAIN, I TRADED THE CAR IN FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND. BECAUSE OF "FRAME DAMAGE" (WHICH GOES TO SHOW THE FORCE AND SPEED OF IMPACT), I ONLY RECEIVED $10,000 FOR MY TRADE-IN INSTEAD OF THE $14,000 BLUE BOOK/EDMUNDS/NADA VALUE.
