I purchased this vehicle from D-276 Adam's Toyota in Lee's Summit on or about 8/9/2021. After 250 miles of driving I began to noticed a stutter in the shifting from first to second gear. No other incident was noticed for 2 to 3 days. I was on the interstate a few days later from the first stutter when it occurred again but more pronounced. I do remember that I was accelerating at about 40% throttle because I was in a rush, and I believed the throttle intensity played a role in the abruptness of the stutter. When I reached the interstate I came to a cruising speed of around 70 and engaged the cruise. I noticed that it was behaving oddly and it would shift often to control the speed it's almost as if it's tolerances are extremely tight. The hard shifting continues but now I know to go light on the throttle to minimize impact. As for the cruise control I will only use cruise control on relatively flat roads whereas it is extremely shifty on hilly roads. (Opinion begins) I believe the adaptive cruise control should have wider tolerances I only see this as contributing to transmission degradation.
The spiral cable sub assembly failed, losing the horn the cruise control and other portions of control on the string, would have failed with time. Should’ve thought you’re like this occur on a vehicle that’s not even four years old. Part number 84307 Dash 02220 cost was $834.
DURING DRIVING OR FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE. ON THE DASH BOARD THE RPM METER DISPLAYS A JERKING MOTION AS WELL AS THE CAR PHYSICALLY. USUALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AND WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85F.
WHILE COASTING INTO A PARKING SPACE MY CAR ACCELERATED HITTING ANOTHER CAR.
WHENEVER I WANT TO BACK UP THE GEAR MAKES STRANGE SOUND BY SWITCHING TO R GEAR FROM P. WHEN I REACH A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT MY CAR VIBRATES FOR FEW SECONDS THEN IT COMES TO NORMAL. *TR
I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 40,000 MILES. I WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY THREE CHILDREN AND WE WERE GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A 4 LANE VERY BUSY STREET DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 30 MPH. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED WITH NO WARNING OR ANYTHING.THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. I PANICKED BECAUSE THIS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY RADIO KEEPS REBOOTING AND WILL NOT CLICK OFF. WHEN I TURN MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA AND THEIR TREATMENT OF MY CONCERNS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTS ME AND MY CHILDREN IN DANGER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP SIGN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LOST POWER STEERING ELECTRIC BOOST, ABS SYSTEM, STABILITY CONTROL, AND SPEEDOMETER. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE LEADING UP TO THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THIS LOSS OF FUNCTION. ALL SYSTEMS REMAIN NON-FUNCTIONING. WARNING LIGHTS FOR STEERING, BRAKES, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATES THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. THE REPAIR PART NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. THE TOYOTA REP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. THE REPAIR WILL BE $3000. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS COULD BE AN UNRECOGNIZED SYSTEMIC SAFETY HAZARD. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT EXPERIENCED SLOWDOWNS AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED WHEN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYSTEM FAILURES. UNCOMMANDED SLOWDOWNS IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THIS REGION COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. REQUEST NHTSA IMMEDIATELY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ABS PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER WHICH LEADS TO THE INFERENCE THAT ABS ACTUATORS ARE BEING REPLACED WHILE NO NHTSA REPORTS ARE BEING FILED SYSTEMS IMPACTED INCLUDES, BRAKES, STEERING, SPEED CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL. SYSTEMS ARE BASIC SAFETY SYSTEMS.
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT 10/29/18 WHICH TOTALED MY 2017 CAMRY. I WAS TRYING TO STOP AND THE CAR ACCELLERATED AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, WARNING BELL SOUNDS AND THREE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CONSTANTLY: BRAKE, ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CENTER ERROR MESSAGE PANEL OF THE DASHBOARD CYCLES THROUGH THE THREE MESSAGES, AS SHOWN IN THE ACCOMPANYING PHOTOS. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, EVERY FEW MILES THERE IS AN APPARENT LOSS OF POWER, SLOWING THE VEHICLE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER DOES NOT RESTORE POWER. FULLY RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOES RESTORE POWER. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM OCTOBER 29, 2018, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY (NOW EVERY THREE DAYS ON AVERAGE) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I WILL BE HAVING A DEALER INVESTIGATE. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM DESCRIBED FOR THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ON OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINT FORUMS.
I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND WHEN I HIT THE BREAK THE CAR ACCELLERATED AND I HIT THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME.
I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN APRIL 2017 AND SOON THEREAFTER STARTED NOTICING SOME UNUSUAL, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND JERKING DURING SLOWING DOWN/DECELERATION. THE CAR JERKS AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED AGAINST THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY AND/OR STOP, SPECIFICALLY NOTICEABLE AT 20 AND 30 MPH SPEEDS. DURING SLOW DOWN, SEEMS LIKE CAR SWITCHES GEAR ABNORMALLY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SLOWING DOWN GRADUALLY. IT TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED FOR AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME INSTEAD OF SMOOTHLY SLOWING DOWN WITH NO FOOT ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSING TOO MUCH USE OF BRAKE OVER AND OVER TO SLOW IT DOWN AND AVOID COLLISION WITH CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I AM CONTACTING YOU AFTER EXHAUSTING ALL MY EFFORTS TO CONVINCE DEALER AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE TO HAVE THEM TAKE THIS 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION' SAFETY CONCERN SERIOUSLY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I AM SURE LOTS OF 2017 CAMRY OWNERS ARE SUFFERING AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT CANNOT GET ANYWHERE WITH DEALER TECH SERVICES OR TOYOTA.
2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *JS
ON 3/10/2018 AROUND 7:25PM WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, I WAS NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BARELY BEFORE IT HIT MY GARAGE DOOR BY STEPPING VERY HARD ON BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR DEADLY ACCIDENT IF THERE WERE ANY CHILDREN AROUND. I THOUGHT TOYOTA HAD ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY IT HAD NOT. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE EVENT ON MY SECURITY CAMERA.
