WHILE ON THE STREET AS I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE STREET CURB THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE AT HIGH SPEED, CRASHING OVER THE CURB AND SIDEWALK, REAR END FIRST. MY STEPPING ON THE BRAKES IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR WAS UNSUCCESSFUL; THE CAR DID NOT COME TO A STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO AN IRON FENCE WHICH BORDERED THE YARD CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FENCE AND THE CAR. A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THE SAME CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE OUT OF CONTROL AND I WAS UNABLE TO BRING IT TO A HALT UNTIL IT HIT A PARKED CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED EITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS TO OCCUR.

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH (2019) I WAS WAITING IN LINE AT A RED LIGHT (ON STATE STREET AT THE INTERSECTION WITH HAYWOOD ROAD IN ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA). SUDDENLY MY TOYOTA 2006 LURCHED FORWARD AND BANGED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR STOPPED, THEN JUMPED FORWARD AGAIN AND BANGED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME AGAIN. MY HUSBAND, SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THREW THE GEAR SHIFT INTO 'PARK' AND OUR CAR STOPPED. AS I WAS JUST WAITING IN LINE AT THE LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SURGED FORWARD, WE FEEL THIS WAS A CASE OF 'TOYOTA SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION.' OUR INSURER HAS APPRAISED THE DAMAGE TO CAR AT JUST BELOW $3000. WE NO LONGER CONSIDER THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. OUR INSURER DID NOT REQUIRE A POLICE REPORT. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES, SO POLICE WERE NOT CALLED.

HI NHTSA, SEEMS LIKE OUR 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLE HAS PERSISTENT INEFFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM FOR FEW YEARS. WE HAVE CHANGED THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY RECENTLY AND EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP WITHIN SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE,THE ROOT CAUSE SEEMS TO BE STEMMING FROM INEFFECTIVE BOOSTER.

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST NHTSA TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND HAVE ALL THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS BE REPAIRED ON ALL MAKE AND MODELS OF TOYOTA AT FREE OF COST TO THE CUSTOMER. VERY RESPECTFULLY, -[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

WHEN THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PARKED BY A CURB ON THE STREET, WITHOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE TOUCHING IT. THE WHOLE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED INTO PIECES FOR NO UNKNOWN REASON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE WIND WAS BLOWING A LITTLE STRONGER THAN NORMAL AND THE TEMPERATURE DROP ABOUT 15 DEGREE OVER THE TIME IT WAS PARKED. THE PICTURE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME. THE PIECES STARTED TO FALL DOWN AS I DROVE.

TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VERY COMMON STICKY DASHBOARD ISSUE. IT CREATES BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE - THE DASHBOARD BECOMES SO REFLECTIVE THAT YOU CANT SEE THE ROAD - AND IS DISGUSTING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I WAS ON A WAITING LIST... TO DATE I NEVER WAS TOLD THAT THEY ERE ABLE TO FIX IT AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE TERM IS OVER FOR GETTING IT REPAIRED. THEY ARE CLEARLY AT FAULT. WHAT DO I DO TO GET IT REPAIRED NOW?

ON SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY AT EXACTLY FIFTY-FIVE MPH AND EXITED AT EXIT 17N. THE EXIT RAMP THERE IS SLOPED UPHILL AND PARALLELS TAYLOR ROAD. THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THAT RAMP AT HEMPSTEAD AVENUE. JUST AS I WAS COMING TO THE END OF THAT RAMP AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALMOST TO THAT SIGN, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SPED UP WITH EXTREME ACCELERATION AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE PHENOMENON ENDED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 700 RPM ON THE DASHBOARD TACHOMETER. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, MONDAY APRIL 8TH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THAT, I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK OUT WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN SUDDENLY SPED UP TO EXTREME ACCELERATION. AGAIN, I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS TIME I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WELL UP INTO THE "RED" ZONE WHICH BEGINS AT 6000 RPM. IN A MOMENT OR SO, THE PHENOMENON AGAIN ENDED AND THE ENGINE AGAIN RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED.

I HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. TUESDAY I HEADED TO WORK AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE GAS STATION TO CHECK IT. I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I THE PROCEEDED TO PUT THREE QUARTS IN MY CAR. THE OIL LIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO TEXAS OIL LATER THAT DAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THE OIL WAS FULL FOR THE MOMENT. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AND HAVE IT CHECK THE FOLLOWING DAY. I COULDN'T GET THERE ON WEDS, I WENT THURSDAY. THE CAR WAS LOW TWO QUARTS OF OIL. THEY CHECKED THE CAR BOTH TIMES FOR AN OIL LEAK. NO LEAK. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AT FIRESTONE AND HE CHECKED THE OIL, FILLED IT UP AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT REALLY GOOD. I WENT TODAY AND I HAD ALMOST NO OIL. ONE QUART. HE CHECKED THE CAR. NO OIL LEAKS. HE SAID THE CAR LOOKED REALLY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND NO EXPLANATION FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION. HE TOLD ME IT NEEDED AN ENGINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE ENGINE COULD JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME. THAT SCARED ME. I WORK IN HOME HEALTH. I DRIVE MY CAR TO CLIENT'S HOMES. I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENING WHILE I AM DRIVING.
