SHE CONTINUED TO ANOTHER STREET, WENT DOWN THE CURB AND REGAINED CONTROL. OUR NEIGHBORS SAW IT AND CARRIED HER HOME. SHE WAS CLEARLY CONFUSED AND NEVER DROVE THE REPAIRED CAR AGAIN. SUBSEQUENTLY HAD A SEVERE PARTIALLY DISABLING CEREBRAL BRAIN HEMORRHAGE. AMBULANCE. LOCAL HOSPITAL COULD NOT TREAT IT AND SHE WAS PICKED UP BY A NY PRESBYTERIAN AMBULANCE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE HAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS THE TOYOTA PRIUS REGARDING THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. WHENEVER SHE DROVE OVER A BUMP OR ENCOUNTERED A POTHOLE THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. SHE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, BUT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. SHE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVING HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2006, PURCHASED ON 3/29/06 WAS INVOLVED IN TWO MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND IT WAS TOTALLED AFTER THE SECOND MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH OCCOURED ON 3/30/07. ON THE FIRST MAJOR ACCIDENT, MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE SIGNAL, INSTEAD IT RACED FORWARD ON ITS OWN AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON THE SECOND MAJOR INCIDENT, AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND ALLOWING ANOTHER CAR TO PASS ON THE SAME ROAD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, SHE MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AND HIT A BIG TREE STANDING AT AN ELEVATED PART OF THE ROAD. BY LOOKING AT THE SCENE ANYBODY CAN COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTIONING OF THE ACCELERATION MECHANISM HAS HAPPENED. IN BOTH OF THESE MAJOR ACCIDENTS, NONE OF THE AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SAME CAR HAD ANOTHER SIMILAR INCIDENT BUT NO PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED AND THEREFORE, THAT INCIDENT WAS NOT REPORTED TO POLICE BUT A CO-WORKER DROVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE RETAINING POND. IN THIS INCIDENT, MY WIFE AFTER PARKING THE CAR, TRIED TO PULL IT A LITTLE FURTHER AND THEN THE CAR JUMPED ACROSS THE CONCRETE BUMP AND FELL INTO THE RETAINING POND. LUCKLY THERE WAS NO WATER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA CAMERY. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES EVERY SINCE I GOT THE CAR. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DON'T WORK THE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE HARD LIKE YOU WOULD IN AN EMERGENCY THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT ALL ITS AS IF THE BRAKES GO COMPLETELY OUT. BUT IF YOU PRESS THEM SLOWLY THEY WORK FINE. BUT IF YOU GIVE A QUICK PRESS THEY DON'T WORK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME ALMOST HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I DID HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER 2006. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THEY COMPLETELY GAVE OUT AND I HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND. *TR

2006 CAMRY XLE I-4 TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AT 30K MILES CAME OUT BLACK!! THIS MEANS THE FLUID IS BEING BURNED. CAR NOT ABUSED.

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY -2006 MODEL WHICH WAS BOUGHT NEW IN FEB 2006. IT HAS APPROX 32,000 MILES ON IT MOSTLY DRIVEN BY MYSELF, 37 YEAR MAN AS OF TODAY AND MY WIFE(31 YEARS) ALSO DRIVES SOMETIMES SINCE LAST TWO YEARS. LAST SUNDAY 01/31/2010 MY WIFE , MYSELF AND MY TWO SONS WERE INSIDE CAR AND MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS STOPPING CAR IN DRIVE WAY. WE WERE ALMOST STOPPED AND SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATED AND MY WIFE WAS SCREAMING THAT IT IS NOT STOPPING EVEN SHE ALMOST STANDING ON BRAKES. MEANTIME IT HIT CLOSED GARAGE DOOR AND WENT INSIDE GARAGE WITH HIGH SPEED. RIGHT MIRROR WENT INSIDE THE GARAGE WALL AND FINALLY ITS CAR FRONT HIT BASE OF GAS-WATER HEATER AND CAR STOPPED. WINDSHIELD WAS FULLY DAMAGED, UPPER HOOD WAS BENDED, RIGHT MIRROR WAS BROKEN AND FRONT OF CAR WAS ALSO HIT BUT AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP BECAUSE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR COULD HAVE REDUCED SPEED BEFORE FRONT HIT GAS-WATER HEATER. BIG TRAGEDY WAS AVOIDED BECAUSE WATER HEATER WAS GAS BASED AND IT WAS ON. ALSO RIGHT SIDE BOTH DOORS WERE TOUCHED TO WALL SO CANNOT BE OPENED. MY TWO SONS 2 YEARS AND 8 YEARS WERE INSIDE CARE AND LEFT SIDE BACK DOOR HAD CHILD LOCK SO ONLY DOOR CAN BE OPENED WAS DRIVER SIDE WHICH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH WITH THIS INCIDENT. LUCKILY FIRE DID NOT START AND WE ALL WERE ABLE TO COME OUT SAFELY. I CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TWICE AND HE REFUSED TO LISTEN ME SAYING THIS CAR 2006 CAMRY IS NOT PART OF TOYOTA RECALL AND IF YOU HAVE TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT CALL TOYOTA'S CORPORATE NUMBER. I CALL TOYOTA NUMBER TWICE AND THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS MODEL IS NOT PART OF RECALL. I CLEARLY TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO OTHER PEOPLE WILL KNOW THAT SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN WITH THIS MODEL CAR ALSO. AT THE SAMETIME I CALLED MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TOW CAR TO REPAIR FACILITY. AS OF NOW REPAIR IS IN PROGRESS AND I AM EXPECTING TO GET CAR BY END OF NEXT WEEK. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY CRASHED AT 6:40PM OF DEC. 4, 2009. WHEN I WAS NEAR TO EXIT 65 OF HIGHWAY 26 (BEAVERTON, OR), THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BRAKES.
