I AM NOT A TOYOTA OWNER, HOWEVER I BELIEVE I AM THE VICTIM OF A TOYOTA ACCIDENT. YESTERDAY, MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF MY OFFICE AT AROUND 10:45 AM I HEAR A CRASH AND SEE MY VEHICLE (2008 CHEVY EQUINOX) PICK UP OFF THE GROUND. VEHICLE OWNER PHUONG VO, DRIVING A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY HAD SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR, AND DAMAGED IT FROM FRONT TO BACK, INCLUDING REMOVING MY BACK AXEL COMPLETELY. WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL TRUCK FOLLOWING THIS CAMRY. APPARENTLY THE CAMRY HAD HIT THIS PERSONS CAR, HE GOT IN IT TO FOLLOW THE DRIVER, AND THEN WITNESSED THE DRIVER HIT AN ADDITIONAL 5 CARS BEFORE CRASHING INTO MINE AND COMING TO A STOP! NOW I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DOES THIS TOYOTA DRIVER NOT HAVE ENOUGH INSURANCE TO COVER MY DAMAGES, BUT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR MY DAMAGES AND PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE. I DID NOTHING WRONG. JUST WENT TO WORK YESTERDAY, AND NOW I AM OUT OF A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND MY VEHICLE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE WEEKS BEFORE BEING REPAIRED. FURTHERMORE, THE ST LOUIS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD REPORTED THAT WHEN AN OFFICIER TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. *TR

MY 2 MONTHS OLD 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS IN ACCIDENT DUE TO NOT ABLE TO STOP. THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED BUT GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT THE WALL. THE RESULTING DAMAGE WAS BROKEN FRONT AXCEL, INFALTING BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS ETC.. THE TOTAL REPAIR COST WAS AROUND $14000.00 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SHE IS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. SHE HAD MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT, THE TOYOTA RECALL WAS NOT MADE PUBLIC SO I IGNORED HER COMPLAINT. *CN

IN TRYING TO PARK THE 2010 CAMRY TOYOTA IN THE GARAGE, THERE WAS AN ACCELERATOR FAILURE IN THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY PICKET UP GREAT SPEED CAUSING A CAR CRASH AND DAMAGE. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO TOYOTA, TODATE - 14 DAYS LATER - THE PROBLEM IS NOT FULLY RESOLVED. IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA ADMINISTRATION IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITIES. WE NEED YOUR HELP TOO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ON DECEMBER, 29 2009. THE CONTACT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED THE ACCELERATION FAILURE; HOWEVER, SHE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK AND HAS REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SHE HAS ALSO NOTIFIED HER STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO INFORMED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFER HER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT ALSO CALLED THE TOYOTA HOTLINE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DID NOT ALLOW HER TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THERE ARE NO FAILURES AT THIS TIME.

THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO OUR CLAIM OF UNRESOLVED WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUES, (IE, UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION), ASSOCIATED WITH OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED AT CAIN TOYOTA IN NORTH CANTON OHIO ON 7/30/09. BELIEVING THAT TOYOTA HAS INACCURATELY ASSIGNED THE CAUSE OF THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION & RESULTANT DEATHS & INJURIES, (NAMELY FAULTY FLOOR MATS AND/OR A STICKING GAS PEDAL SHAFT) WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN OUR 2010 CAMRY FOR MONTHS AS INDICATED BY THE CURRENT 1073 MILES RECORDED ON THE ODOMETER. WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER UNINTENTIONALLY OR BY MANAGEMENT DIRECTIVE TOYOTA IS MISIDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS TOYOTA ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. THIS AVOIDANCE TACTIC IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT ADOPTED BY FORD/FIRESTONE IN THE NUMEROUS YEAR 2000 EXPLORER ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN DEATH AND INJURIES. AFTER FIRST DENYING ANY WRONG-DOING,FORD,(NOT FIRESTONE), ADMITTED TO THE SAFETY HAZARD SUCH THAT WE WERE COMPENSATED BY FORD FOR BOTH OUR 1993 & 2000 EXPLORERS. WITHOUT DOUBT THE EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE NHTSA IN THE EXPLORER ACCIDENTS AND RELATED SAFETY ISSUES WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MOTIVATING FORD MANAGEMENT INTO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR EXPLORER OWNERS. (I KNOW, BECAUSE WE POSSESSED TWO EXPLORERS THAT BENEFITED FROM FORD'S CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY. AT THIS TIME WITH TOYOTA WE BELIEVE THAT THE SAFETY HAZARD(S) ARE FAR MORE SERIOUS AND THE TOYOTA "DENIAL STAGE" IS FAR MORE ENTRENCHED IN THE MINDS OF TOYOTA MANAGEMENT POSSIBLY DUE TO THEIR LONG RECORD OF EXCELLENT SAFETY. HOWEVER, JUST ONE ACCOUNT OF THE 4 DEATHS ON 8/28/09 IN CALIFORNIA WHEN AN OFF-DUTY HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER, EXPERIENCED WITH MANY TYPES OF VEHICLES, DROVE FOR SOME 5 MILES AT SPEEDS OF 120MPH WAS SUBJECT TO UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION IN HIS LEXUS "LOANER". TOYOTA'S LOGIC IN BLAMING THE FLOOR MATS REFLECTS TECHNICAL INCOMPETENCE AT BEST AND OUT-OF-CONTROL STUPIDITY AT THE WORST. WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT TOYOTA'S SAFETY RECORD HAS BEEN EXCELLENT IN THE PAST BUT EVEN THE DEITY HAS MADE MISTAKES!!!! *TR

SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, I SAW ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE CAR TRANSMISSION WORKED AT SPEEDS FROM 0-50MPH. STARTING FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF MY USING THE CAR, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES, ONLY TO BE SENT BACK AFTER A "TEST DRIVE" SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. IN MY OWN LANGUAGE, I HAD BEEN EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH NOW LOOKS EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE 'STICKING GAS PEDAL" RECALL RECENTLY INFORMED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING WHILE BRAKING, OR WOULD START BRAKING WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO USED TO FEEL A JERK WHEN THE CAR MOVED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 0-50MPH. I COMMUTE 70 MILES DAILY TO WORK AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS DAILY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE STARTED IGNORING OUT OF DEEP FRUSTRATION. THE DEALER TEST DRIVES AND CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT SAYING THEY CANNOT RECREATE MY ISSUE. I LOGGED AN INCIDENT WITH TOYOTA (091214-000053). IT LED TO MY FOURTH VISIT TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ANSWER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE FROM A CASE MANAGER WAS THAT IF THEY CANNOT RECREATE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I ALMOST FEEL THIS IS A HOPELESS CASE AS I DON'T THINK NEITHER TOYOTA NOR THE DEALERSHIP WERE TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT ASSISTING ME. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON. I REOPENED A NEW CASE (100130-000604). SO FAR I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HANDLING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS, BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO GET THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA OR ITS DEALER. THIS IS NOT A SMART WAY OF SOLVING AN ISSUE. I FEEL DISAPPOINTED, ANGRY AND HELPLESS. *TR
