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

Consequence & remedy

Jan 16, 2013
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL.

REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED.
