DISTRACTED DRIVING IS GOING MORE HI-TECH WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF A JOINT VENTURE BY TOYOTA AND MICROSOFT TO BRING THE INTERNET TO THE DASHBOARD. (SEE: HTTP://BLOGS.CARS.COM/KICKINGTIRES/CAR_GADGETS/ ) TO ME, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DISTRACTION TO DRIVERS WHO NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS MUST BE BEHIND THE DRIVERS AND OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. PUTTING AN IN-DASH DATA CENTER IN VIEW OF, OR WORSE, FOR USE BY THE DRIVER EXACERBATES THE GROWING SAFETY PROBLEM OF DISTRACTED DRIVING. I RECOMMEND THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OR CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION INTERCEPT AND PREVENT THESE PRODUCTS, OR REQUIRE THEM TO BE BEHIND THE DRIVER OR, AT LEAST, REQUIRE AN INTERLOCK SO THAT THEY CAN ONLY BE VIEWED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN "PARK" AND NOT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 TUNDRA 6/30/2007 RAN GREAT UNTIL AROUND 18,500 MI. AT THAT TIME THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHICH IT FELT LIKE THE 05 4 RUNNER. THE 4 RUNNER STILL DOES IT BUT IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE. THE TUNDRA IS GETTING REALLY BAD AS IT IS GRINDING AND BANGING. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH TOYOTA FROM MY AREA AND THEY KEEP SAYING I HAVE TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS AND THEY USUALLY CALL AND CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT. I CONTACTED DIFFERENT CORPORATE EXC'S AND ONE FROM CALIFORNIA CALLED AND MADE AN APP. AND I WAS THERE FOR IT. I WAITED FOR 1 1/2 HOURS AND THE REP DIDN'T SHOW. I AM NOW GOING TO SEND MR.AKIO TOYODA, PRESIDENT OF TOYOTA A CERTIFIED LETTER. HIS ADDRESS ISCORPORATE HEADQUARTERS* 1 TOYOTA-CHO TOYOTA CITY, AICHI 471-8571 JAPAN PHONE: 81 5 6528 2121 FAX: 81 5 6523 5800 I HOPE EVERYONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM WILL SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER TO HIM AND LET HIM KNOW HOW EMBARRASSED THE TOYOTA CO. SHOULD BE FOR THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THE PROBLEMS. I FOR ONE WILL GO BACK TO GM AS THEY WILL HALF TRY TO HELP. *TR

ON JUNE 20 SHORTLY BEFORE 6:00 PM I BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE OF OUR CONDO BUILDING, AND I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ABOUT 10 MLS/HOUR TOWARD A STREET CCA 50 YARDS AWAY. BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET THE CAR HAS TO BE STOPPED, HOWEVER, WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR ON ITS OWN ACCELERATED. IMMEDIATELY I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. THE CAR SPEEDED INTO A GRASSY AREA, AND FROM THERE TO OUR OVERFLOW PARKING LOT, AND FROM THERE TO A SECOND PARKING LOT. THE TIRES BURNED THE GRASS DUE TO THE APPLIED BRAKES. PICTURE OF THE BURNED GRASS CAN BE SUPPLIED IF REQUESTED. THE UNSTOPPABLE CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 170 YARDS. DUE TO THE FORCE BY WHICH THE CAR HIT FOUR CURVES, THE FRONT TIRES WERE FLATTENED AND THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. THE FRONT END COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. MY WIFE AND MYSELF WERE WEARING THE SAFETY BELTS, WHICH PREVENTED TO BE THROWN INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD..MY WIFE WAS SITTING NEXT TO ME, THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. IN ADDITION THE FORCE CAUSED BOTH OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. MINIMIZING THE HUMAN DAMAGE. THE AIRBAGS CAUSED A SECOND DEGREE BURN ON MY LEFT ARM AS DETERMINED IN THE ER. THE AIRBAG ALSO HIT THE FRONT OF MY FACE. AND SLIGHTLY BURNED THE FINGER ON HER LEFT HAND. NEEDLESS TO STAY THAT WE WERE EXTREMELY SHAKEN AND FRIGHTENED. UPON EXITING THE CAR I CALLED 911 AND REPORTED WHAT HAPPENED. AN UNKNOWN NEIGHBOR CALLED AN AMBULANCE, WHICH CAME VERY SOON WITH A LARGE FIRE TRUCK. WE WERE TAKEN TO THE ER OF A LOCAL HOSPITAL. WE SPENT AT 4-5 HOURS IN THE ER OF THE HOSPITAL WHERE WE WERE X-RAYED. EVEN AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT, SOME 2 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT BOTH MY WIFE AND I REMAIN EXTREMELY SHAKEN BY THIS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. MY WIFE'S SPINAL PROBLEMS WERE ENHANCED BY THE CRASH, AND HER CONDITION IS BEING MONITORED BY SPECIALISTS. THE CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.. I SUSPECT THE ORIGINAL MICRO CHIP TO CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION OF THE GAS FLOW. *TR

MY VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WILL FAIL TO HOLD A CONSTANT SPEED. ESPECIALLY ON HILLS AND IN COLDER WEATHER. I REPLACED THE SPEED CONTROL SERVO , HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES AND MECHANIC CAN'T FIX IT. THEY CALLED TO A GM SHOP AND MECHANICS TOLD HIM THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON YOUR SITE AS WELL. PERHAPS A RECALL IS IN ORDER AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY MUCH LIKE THE PEDAL PROBLEMS TOYOTA HAS EXPERIENCED/ THE CAR WILL DECELERATE QUICKLY AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE HERE BEYOND MY VEHICLE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR SIMILAR ACTION PLAN TO DATE? *TR

THE HID HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS WENT OUT SEVERAL NIGHTS AGO. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA, AND THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON ON THE 2004-2008 PRIUS, WHICH A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH PROVED. THESE TYPE OF BULBS OVERHEAT (SINCE THEY'RE HALOGEN). NEVERTHELESS, THEY CHARGED $1150 FOR TWO HEADLIGHTS WHICH CANNOT BE BOUGHT ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA, THE PERSON I TALKED TO UNDERSTOOD, SAYING IT HAD HAPPENED TO HIM TOO, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO SINCE THE CAR HAD OVER 136,000 MILES ON IT. APPARENTLY TOYOTA ONLY WARRANTIES ITS PARTS FOR ONE YEAR. SHAMEFUL. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I OWN A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY VIN#[XXX] ON JANUARY 6, 2010 I WAS DRIVING UP FIRST AVE IN MANHATTAN GOING TO RANDALLS ISLAND. AT 1ST AVE AND ABOUT 10 ST I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR, PRESSED THE BRAKE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. INSTEAD THE ENGINE REVVED (VROOM) AND CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD. I FLOORED THE BRAKE AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STILL I TAPPED THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE IN FRONT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO STOP BY PUTTING CAR INTO PARK. 2 HOURS LATER I WAS RETURNING HOME AND DRIVING DOWN 9TH STREET BETWEEN BROADWAY AND UNIVERSITY AND AGAIN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR (I WAS ALREADY GOING 20MPH) AGAIN, INSTEAD THE VEHICLE REVVED AND ACCELERATED FORWARD AND THIS TIME NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED THE BRAKE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I SLAMMED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK , PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THAT STOPPED THE CAR. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA OF MANHATTAN WHERE THEY SAID MY BRAKE PINS WERE FROZEN AND THERE WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM AND CHARGED $1300 FOR REPAIR. (MY PERSONAL MECHANIC IN NJ LATER TOLD ME BRAKE PINS AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION WERE NOT RELATED. ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2010 WHILE DRIVING TO MY SUMMER APARTMENT IN VENTNOR NJ THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WE WERE AGAIN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PULLING INTO PARK MODE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE 10 MILES PER HOUR TO OUR PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR STILL SITS. CALLS TO TOYOTA OF MANHATTAN SIMPLY STATED THAT THIS MODEL WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THE CAR WAS TOO FAR FOR THEM TO SEND A TOW. ATTEMPTS TO BRING THE CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA (SHORE TOYOTA) CALLS WERE NOT ANSWERED AND I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT BRING THE CAR IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. AND I SHOULD BRING THE CAR BACK TO WHERE THE REPAIR WAS DONE. SO THERE IT SITS IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET HOME. THE REPAIR WAS CLEARLY BOGUS AND THIS PROBLEM IS ACCELERATION UPON HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 09/01/10

IN THE LAST MONTH THE HEADLIGHT ON MY 2007 TOURING PRIUS HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT OUTAGES. ONE HEADLAMP OR THE OTHER MIGHT FAIL TO COME ON, OR STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. EVERY SO OFTEN, BOTH HEADLIGHT STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. AND ONCE, IN THE FOG, WHEN I TURNED ON MY FOGLIGHTS, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. IF I TURN THE HEADLIGHTS OFF, AND BACK ON, BOTH LAMPS MIGHT WORK, OR ONE OR THE OTHER REMAIN OFF... THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA SERVICE OFFERED TO CHANGE THE FAILED HEADLAMP AT $400, BUT SINCE I COULD NOT IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR LAMP, WOULD DO BUT AT DOUBLE THE COST, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX IT. AND FROM THE INFORMATION ON VARIOUS PRIUS FORUMS, CHANGING THE BULBS OUT WILL NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FIVE (5) TIMES FOR THE BACK HATCH. THE HATCH MAKES A HORRIBLE RATTLE WHEN JUST DRIVING ON REGULAR ROADS. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL UNFIXED.

WE OWN A 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY VIN [XXX], AND WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR. ABOUT A ONE AND A HALF YEARS AGO, WE REPLACED THE IDLE SPEED CONTROL UNIT FOR APPROXIMATELY $400.00. THE CAMRY HAD PROBLEMS STARTING WHEN IT IS COLD, AND THE HAYWARD CALIFORNIA TOYOTA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE US ANOTHER $400.00 TO REPLACE THE SAME PART THAT THEY REPLACED ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO. THE PART IS A TOYOTA MANUFACTURING PART, AND IT COST ABOUT $250.00. TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PART, AND IT SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 18 MONTHS. I HAVE TALKED WITH A NUMBER OF AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, AND THEY KNOW THAT THIS PART FAILS ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION REFERENCE NUMBER [XXX], BUT I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA WILL ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM, AND I FILED THE COMPLAINT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DISCOVER.
