2020 Toyota Camry

1. CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TAKE OFF. MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN CROSSING THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE IN CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM. 2. THE CAR STEREO SYSTEM RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE STEREO ALSO RANDOMLY LOSES SOUND. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN FOR THIS ALSO. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE.

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES MAINTAINING A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 TO 65 I KEEP SMELLING COOLANT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD WHEN I GET OUT OF MY CAR. ALSO MY ENGINE SOUNDS A LITTLE ROUGH FROM WHEN I BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN APRIL THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT THE ENGINE WAS BREAKING IN. TAKING MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW LET'S SEE WHAT THEY SAY THIS TIME.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR FROM SITTING JUST OVERNIGHT, THE DASH WILL FLASH AND CLICK AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD. THE CAR WON'T START AND HAS TO BE JUMPED. HOWEVER WHEN YOU HAVE THE CAR CHECKED, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. THERE IS SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. NOTHING IS PLUGGED IN AND THE LIGHTS ARE ALL TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS SIMPLY DRAINING ITSELF. THERE ARE ONLY 6000 MILES ON THE CLOCK AND NO OTHER OUTSIDE FACTORS THAT I CAN THINK OF COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO RELATED TO THE ELECTRONICS GOING CRAZY, IS THE RCD FEATURE USED WHILE IS REVERSE GEAR. AFTER THE CAR IS JUMPED, THAT FEATURE NEEDS TO BE RESET BY A TECHNICIAN SO THE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY. THIS IS VERY QUICKLY BECOMING MORE THEN AN ANNOYANCE.

I ALREADY HAVE A COMPLAINT NUMBER 11342422. I HAVE STUDIED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FURTHER AND I THINK I HAVE IDENTIFIED 2 PLACES OF SAFETY CONCERN. IN NORMAL MODE, SINCE I CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MY INTERPRETATION IS THAT THE RESERVOIR CAN ACCEPT ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL FLUID BEING PUMPED. IT ALSO TELLS ME THAT THE FINAL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PADS WILL BE WHATEVER THE RESISTANCE THE SPRING IN THE RESERVOIR HAS. SO I DON'T HAVE FINAL CONTROL OVER THE BRAKING EVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE OTHER CONDITION THAT CONCERNS ME IS THE LAST DIAGRAM WHEN THE PUMP IS INTENSIFYING THE BRAKING FORCE. NOW THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PATH FOR SOME OF THIS PUMPED FLUID TO RETURN TO THE INPUT SIDE OF THE PUMP. IF THE LEAKAGE PATH HAD NO RESISTANCE THEN THE PUMP COULD BE RECIRCULATING ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID RESULTING IN NO BRAKING. I HOPE THAT THE LEAKAGE PATH HAS ENOUGH RESISTANCE THAT A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID IS ENDING UP AT THE BRAKE PADS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPACTING MY CAR BUT I THINK IT'S A RISK TO ALL CARS WITH ABS. WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS OF 3 CAR DEALERS AND THEY ALL CLAIM THAT BEING ABLE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IS NORMAL. I DON'T THINK IT IS NORMAL AND IT ALSO DOESN'T APPLY TO ALL CARS. MY WIFE'S CAR BRAKES DON'T DO THIS. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS AN INDUSTRY WIDE FOCUS TO COVER UP THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO ABS ENGINEERS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

NEW VEHICLE, PRISTINE CONDITION. HIGHWAY DRIVING, OPEN SPACE, STRAIGHT LINE. NO TREES, CARS, TRUCKS, OVERPASSES, ETC. IN VICINITY. WEATHER OVERCAST, NO RAIN. WITHOUT WARNING, SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD. GLASS PIECES DID FALL INSIDE, BUT MOSTLY BLEW OUT AND BACK, GOUGING REAR WINDOW AND CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PAINT DAMAGE ON TRUNK. SIZE OF BLOWOUT HOLE APPROXIMATELY 24"X13". TOYOTA SAYS NOT THEIR FAULT, CLEARLY A ROCK HIT IT.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES BY ITSELF . I APPLY BRAKES AND IT STILL PROPELS ITSELF. I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I AM LUCKY THAT I DO NOT HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTUALLY STOPS. THE CAR IS NEW WITH ONLY 900MILES . I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. TOMORROW I AM BRINGING CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVICE. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED TWICE. OF COURSE THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS.

THE DAY WAS PARTLY CLOUDY. THE LOCATION WAS MARYLAND. THE VEHICLE WAS A NEW 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4DOOR. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF EXTERIOR FLAT GLASS AND INTERIOR DOOR ASSEMBLY BOTH COMPLETELY CLOSED, MY DAUGHTER AND I SUDDENLY HEARD A BOOM EXPLOSION. WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO SAFELY EXIT, HUGE BLACK CHUNKS WERE FLYING BEHIND US, THAT WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS BROKEN SUNROOF GLASS FLYING BEHIND US HITTING THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND US. WE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WE DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE'S SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. INSTEAD OF THE REMAINING BROKEN SUNROOF GLASS EDGES EXHIBITING A CONCAVE DOWNWARD APPEARANCE, THE REMAINING SHATTERED GLASS EXHIBITED A CONVEX OUTWARD APPEARANCE INDICATING AN EXPLOSION HAD OCCURRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MARYLAND TOYOTA DEALER FOR HELP AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WASN'T PURCHASED FROM THEIR DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. HENCE THE OEM GLASS REPLACEMENT COSTS WERE COVERED BY MY AUTO INSURANCE, WITH A $500 DEDUCTIBLE. A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I RETURNING HOME, THE NEW OEM GLASS AND SUNROOF ASSEMBLY BEGAN TO SCREECH AND CRACKLED AS IF IT WAS COMING APART. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE RENIGGED ON THEIR PROMISE TO MAKE MY SUNROOF ASSEMBLY NEW AGAIN AT NO COSTS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I DEAL WITH A CRACKLING AND SQUEAKING SUNROOF ASSEMBLY THAT MAKES ME FEARFUL OF THE SUNROOF EXPLODING AGAIN. NOTE: THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP FAILED TO COMPLY WITH MY AUTO SUNROOF GLASS AND ASSEMBLY THAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND REFUND MY AUTO INSURER AND ME AS THEY HAD PROMISED.
