Air bags, Mar 12, 2018, crash
ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2017, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY THE POLICE REPORT TO BE A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIND THE PERSON WHO HIT MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF SPINNING ACROSS 7 LANES AND HITTING THE SUB-DIVIDERS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE BELOW. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE 8 AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. MY FACE WAS SLAMMED VERY HARD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT. WE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION, WHICH TOOK THEM MORE THAN 2 AND A HALF MONTHS, TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY. THEY SENT ME SOME DIAGRAMS AND OTHER INFORMATION WHICH WAS COMPLETELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS FROM THE TOYOTA INSPECTION DEPARTMENT. I RECENTLY SENT A LETTER TO TOYOTA CORPORATION REQUIRING A FAIR RESOLUTION TO MY SITUATION. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COPY OF THAT LETTER. EVERYBODY I SHOW THE CAR TO, INCLUDING BODY SHOPS AND MECHANICS, FELT THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY TO WALK AWAY ALIVE FROM THAT CAR. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, FEARING ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHERE THE OUTCOME MAY NOT BE THE SAME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND TOYOTA CORPORATION IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIRS, CAR RENTALS, AND OTHER EXPENSES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX], OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX]. I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ARRANGE FOR AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A RAINY, COOL DAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THINKING IT WAS A GUNSHOT, I LIKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE PASSENGER WAS OK. I HEARD A WINDY SOUND AND OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER PANEL TO SEE THAT MY ENTIRE SUNROOF IS CRACKED TO PIECES. I RUSHED HOME AND ONCE EXITING THE CAR, I NOTICE THE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF LOOKS TO HAVE EXPLODED OUTWARDS. IT IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH NO SIGNS OF IMPACT OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY DRIVING. IT WAS COMPLETELY EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

ON THE 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DOOR JAMB HAS A STICKER THAT READS "CAUTION: LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY REDUCED. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE REDUCED THE ORIGINAL LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY BY 9 KG OR 21 LBS." I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS STICKER WAS PLACED ON THE DOOR JAMB.

IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO AFFECT ON SLOWING THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 69-80 FEET (ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, MY LAWN AND MY NEIGHBOR'S LAWN) IT CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S SHED. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR , SOME BACK PAIN AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHED.TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING IT INTO FIRST NEUTRAL GEAR AND THEN PARK BEFORE ANY DAMAGE. THEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PUT IN FIRST, NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS CONDITION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME ON MY 2017 CAMRY XLE 2 NIGHTS AGO (CLEAR NIGHT, DRY ROAD, GOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS) I HIT THE BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A NOISE, WITHOUT BRAKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ALREADY DRIVING SLOW AND THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ELSE I WOULD HAVE HIT ANY CAR THAT HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF ME. I PANICKED AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR STOPPED A LITTLE SHORT OF THE CROSS TRAFFIC, BUT PAST THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO TOYOTA AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO LOG OF THIS EVENT IN THE CAR'S "LOG" AND BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THERE WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT! THE NEXT DAY, THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING WHEN I DROVE THE CAR IN TO SERVICE (3 MILES), BUT IT TROUBLES ME THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A NEW CAR AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT TOYOTA SERVICE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT HAD HAPPENED. REALLY WORRIED!

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHEDIMAGES.BOTH FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELYOPAQUE. I INCLUDING MY FRIENDS WHO EVER TRIED ARE GETTING HEADACHES WITHIN LESS THAN 2 MINS OF DRIVING. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY(COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH) ISSUE AND DISTRESSED. AFTER ONE WHOLE WEEK OF TRYING TO REACH THE DEALER OVER PHONE, I PHYSICALLY WENT OVER TO THE DEALER AND THEN THE DEALER TOLD ME, "WE CAN'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS RIGHT NOW WITHOUT CONSULTING TOYOTA". THEY ALSO REFUSEDTO PROVIDE ME TEMPORARY LOANERVEHICLE. THIS BRAND NEW CAR IS SIMPLY UN-DRIVABLE. PLEASE ADVISE. ALSO ATTACHED IS PICTURE FROM SIDE WINDOWS WHICH IS GOOD CLEAR, FOR COMPARISON.

THE BODY OF THE SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS IS BLOCKING A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF THE DRIVER'S VIEW TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT. THE MIRRORS OF AVERAGE SIZE ARE PART OF A BODY THAT IS EXCESSIVELY LARGE, ADDING SEVERAL INCHES AROUND THE AREA OF THE MIRROR. THE WHOLE BODY IS INSTALLED ON A LONG ARM, AND BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER TOWARDS THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT WHILE HE/SHE DRIVES. WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, I MAY HIT SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE THE MIRROR BLOCKED IT. PICTURES ATTACHED.

AT 4500 MILES THE NORMAL INDICATORS OF "NEED MAINTENANCE SOON" APPEARED ON THE ALERT SCREEN. SOON THEREAFTER I HAD A "CHECK BRAKING SYSTEM" LIGHT COME ON WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE MODE CAUSING THE PARKING BRAKE SIGN TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH I LET GO OF THE FOOT BRAKE. DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ERRONEOUS ALARM. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF I SPENT TIME DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ON THE ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY (WHICH OF COURSE I DID NOT). THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER DRIVING 20 MILES AND IN PARK, THE ALERT SYSTEM SHOWED "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM". THE MANUAL STATES THIS IS A SERIOUS ALERT AND DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS ON COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO TELL ME AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND TO ONLY WORRY IF THE ALERT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN GIVEN AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THESE ALARMS ARE CONTINUING TO COME ON. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL THESE ALARMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY AT ALL TIMES.

BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE FROM POTHOLES! I HAVE 225 45 18 TIRES ON MY 2012 CAMRY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE I'VE HAD THE SIDEWALL FAIL THE EXACT SAME WAY SINCE BUYING THEM 2 YEARS AGO. THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT MAYBE 20 MPH. EVERY TIME THERE IS A 3 TO 4 INCH CUT ALONG THE BEAD OF THE TIRE THROUGH THE CORDS. I WORK FOR FIRESTONE AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PATTERN MANY TIMES ON VARIOUS CAR, NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO SIZE. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR REAL WORLD USE

ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AT APPROX. 7:37 PM I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT IN MOTION. BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION I NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I THEN CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION AND BOTH LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AT APPROX. 7:45 PM I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH. AT ABOUT 7:47 PM ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 60 MPH TO SPEEDS OF APPROX. 40-45 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT IS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT STILL THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TAKING NOTICE OF MY IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, SO I USED MY LEFT FOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE POSITION AND IT REMAINED IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I PANICKED AT THAT MOMENT AND I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DITCH CAUSING PERSONAL MINOR HEAD INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY FRONT PASSENGER. THE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FRONT AND REAR FENDER WERE PROVED OBVIOUS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM WERE FILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS LATER DRIVEN TO MY HOUSE AND REMAINS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL INVESTIGATED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
Steering, Dec 9, 2016
I JUST BOUGHT TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 2017. THIS CAR HAS VERY SENSITIVE STEERING AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A 1-2 DEGREES OF VERY LOOSE, FLUID, NO-RESISTANT MOVEMENT SPACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LACK OF ANY RESISTANCE IN THE STEERING MAKES THE DRIVER NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP CORRECTING THE STEERING FOR THE CAR TO STAY IN LANE. ACTUALLY, A SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE THE CAR TO JUMP IN THAT DIRECTION. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT ALSO REQUIRES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION AND IT MAKES ME TIRED, ESPECIALLY MY HANDS. MY CAR HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEMS (EPS). I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER SHOP. THEY CHECKED IT WITH A COMPUTER AND THERE WERE NO EPS FAULTS. ALL CAME OK. THEIR HELP ENDED THERE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
