ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WENT ABOUT 30 FOOT OR LESS THAN HESITATES. THE TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THE CAR WAS NOT GOING TO MOVE AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF MY BUMPER. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY WIFE HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND A BIG RIG LAID ON HIS HORN BECAUSE HE HE MAY HAVE THOUGHT SHE HAD JUST TAKEN HER FOOT OFF THE GAS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON TO GIVE A WARNING THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BAD SITUATION FOR ALL TOYOTA CARS. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE PLACE REGISTERED 124 OCCURRENCES ANOTHER 98. THAT IS JUST THE PEOPLE THAT REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. SOMEONE MAY GET KILLED BEFORE THIS IS CORRECTED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON MY CAR WHEN THE FACTORY INSTALLED A UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. WE DID NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE THAT. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY AND THE MAN LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHEN I RETURNED TO GET THE CAR I SHOWED HIM A COPY OF THE 124 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HOW DO YOU THINK I KNEW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

WHEN I WENT TO THE DMV TO REGISTER THE CAR THE DMV SEND ME BACK SAYING THAT THE PAPERWORK WAS NOT CORRECT AND I NEEDED TO TAKE THE PAPERS BACK TO THE DEALER SO THEY CAN CORRECT IT AND GIVE ME THE RIGHT ONE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PAPERS THEY SAID THE DEALER SHOULD KNOW. I HAVE TRIED OVER AND OVER TO GET THE NEW PAPERS FROM THE DEALER SHIP, BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP ME ON THIS ISSUE.

THIS WILL HAPPEN AFTER I DRIVE USING THIS AND COME BACK TO THE CAR AFTER IT WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF - THE SMELL WILL NOT GO AWAY UNLESS I STOP USING THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON - THIS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THE A/C ON THE COLDEST SETTING BECAUSE THAT SETTING TURNS THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON ON. RECENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT APPROVED AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY HEALTH WITH THE POSSIBLE GROWTH OF MOLD.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA RALEIGH'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE BOUGHT 4 CARS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, THREE OF THEM HAVE HAD MANUFACTURES DEFECTS. EVERY TIME I CALL, INCLUDING THIS LAST TIME FOR MY RECALL THEY TELL ME THAT NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL, IT WILL TAKE THEM "AT LEAST" 30 DAYS TO GET THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS HORRIBLY RUN AND THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE REMEDIES FOR SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS READILY AVAILABLE OR AT LEAST ON QUICK DELIVERY IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALSO, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST HOURS TO FIX THE PART WHEN IT FINALLY COMES IN BUT ONLY OFFER A RENTAL CAR IF THE FIX IS MORE THAN $400, WHICH OF COURSE, SINCE THIS IS FREE OF CHARGE THE CONSUMER HAS TO FIGURE OUT TRANSPORTATION TO MAKE UP FOR THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE SAFE CARS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA RALEIGH'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD RATHER PUT ITS CUSTOMERS AT RISK THAN FIX THEIR RECALL SO THEY MAKE IT AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO GET THE FIX TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT MANAGER AND OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY BOTH IGNORE MY CALLS. ONE WOULD THINK THAT AFTER BUYING 4 CARS WITH THEIR COMPANY THEY WOULD HAVE SOME LEVEL OF CARE FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. THEY DON'T! *TR

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NOT RECEIVING CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE WARRANTY SUPPLEMENT FROM MANUFACTURER. *SMD
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

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.
