| While driving i noticed that my front abs would not activate in an emergency situation. braking distances became a lot longer. when i went to replace my front brakes, i discovered that the front lower brake piston had frozen. it was the same for both sides. took it into the shop, and they said the same thing. had to have the caliper replaced on both sides for a total of $750+++. this is the same thing that has happened to many other owners, which can be found on www.t4r.org. | |||

| 2005 scion xb we have had to put three wind shields in, four sets of tires and now the speed odometer went out. we just spent two thousand dollars at the dealership, it had to have the seat belts done, the cruise control stuck all the time and we never got recall letters, i went on line. i am so concerned about the safety of my son. there should never be three windshield replacements, we don't know what the deal on this is and we have checked the tires daily. i appreciate the information here. | |||

| I have a 2007 toyota avalon. this is in reference to a previous complaint 10308589. it happened again. on sunday, may 16th, 2010 i floored the accelerator after turning into traffic because the car on the road was going much faster than i expected. the accelerator got stuck so i put it in neutral, heard and saw high rpm on the tack and turned the motor off with the key. i wrestled the car into the next turn-off (no power steering). i looked down and my gas pedal was stuck all the way down by the floormat. this is a floormat that i put in from walmart. it is made of heavy rubber to protect my nice floormats. it is not latched into the floor like my nice floormat underneath. this was my fault, not toyota. that floormat is now in the trunk of my car. this is the third time uncontrolled acceleration has happened in this car. it was in for recall repair after the second incident. driver beware! this tool is requiring me to select a model number on equipment which does not make sense so i just selected one at random - that is a flaw in the reporting process. | |||

| I was driving for work with my toyota camry 2007. while accelerating to get on the highway, around the end of the ramp, my vehicle suddenly accelerated with no controls working from the driver's seat either for the steering wheel or the brake. in a matter of a few seconds, the vehicle went a few times in a zig-zag manner and subsequently hit a semi-trailer which was southbound on the highway. my car was completely smashed in the front and totaled later. this incident occurred after my car went through the accelerator pedal replacement as per recommedations of the toyota recall procedure. i could have been easily killed in this accident. i got a traffic ticket for the first time in my life after having a ticket-free driving record for the past 11+ years. i am pleading 'not guilty' for this ticket because the defective toyota car was responsible for the accident and not my error. | |||

| Abs system failure in 2007 toyota fj cruiser. the abs, vsc, and vsc trac and skidding light came on on or about march 22, 2010. toyota dealer had trouble finding problem albeit they said the vehicle had no brakes or almost no brakes. they replaced the master cylinder assembly and in an unrelated issue replace ildler pulleys. picked up vehicle that was alleged repaired and driven by technicians to verify it was repaired and brakes worked. within about 20 miles of driving, brakes became very soft and car was hard to stop in a reasonable distance without veering. called dealership from vehicle on march 27, 2010 and was told to bring it in monday, but it was safe to drive unitl monday. i was told jamming on the brakes may cause the vehicle to skid uncontrolable and that the abs system and vsc would not cause brake failure. i drove the vehicle approximately 200 miles on a trip to see my mother and father. the vehicle was difficult to stop in a reliable and safe manner. | |||

| I was stopped at a signal light. the toyota camry i was driving off of holt ave. pomona. ca. i accelerated by tapping the accelerator and the car abruptly started accelerating aggressively on its own and lead me directly head on into a tree. it was almost like the car was taken over by something. i suffered some minor injuries of the back, head, and shoulder. i almost died. the airbag came out so i survived. i was taken to the hospital for check up and released the same day. i was holding a nevada license. i called the pomona police today for a accident report number however the police department denied there was report taken. the car was totaled. the car was insured in california. this accident occurred after a other car in our family of 2, mysteriously rolled over on road of the 15 interstate highway were my mother almost died. the cause of the accident is also still unknown.the acceleration speed is unknown i have guessed the speed in the further documentation..i am not sure of the equipment type in the car. *tr | |||

| I purchase my vehicle a 2002 rav4, automatic, new. the vehicle has been well maintaned. approximately in march of 2010 my vehicle starting jerking, i look at my gas gauge and thought i must be lower on gas then the gauge is showing. i got gas and the problem stopped. about 2 weeks later the same problem. i got gas and the situation stopped. sporadically, in the 2 week time frame my vehicle seemed to lose power. i did take my car into my mechanic and he had the car and did test drives with no problems. again, in april the problem arose again and the car when to my mechanic and again they could find no problem. on april 22, 2010 upon leaving work i started my vehicle and there was a horrible jerking, shaking and at times seemed to have no power i finally was able to make it home (1 mile away) with the tires barely rolling down the road. immediately, the next day i took it to my mechanic and as we were doing a test drive the vehicle began the jerking, shaking and lost power, the car was not operable any longer. the diagosis: transmission burnt and new emc (my third in this vehicle). the vehicles engine check light never came on or any other sensors in the vehicle. when the emc was tested it did not display any codes or problems with the vehicle. i contacted the dealership and expalined thesituation and was advised i needed to bring it in for them to look at it. i explained to them it does not run and not going anywhere and would these (i would have had the vehicle towed with an expense of anywhere from $250 to $300.00, a hours drive away) expenses be covered. response warranty expired 60 days ago. after many days of an agonizing decision, i advised my mechanic to go ahead and fix the car at the tune of $3500.00, replacing the emc and transmission. the vehicle is still being repaired and i will have it back next week | |||

| I purchased my 2009 toyota camry in jun 2009(used) with about 6000 miles. after the first week the clip from the carpet snapped out, and i took it to toyota for the first carpet recall, then i took it to toyota for the sudden acceleration recall with the gas pedal, this friday i am returning it, for the sudden acceleration due to some electrical issue that toyota is unsure of. i've been paying car notes and have not been able to try my car, for fear of sudden acceleration not due to myself. | |||

| Incident with my 2005 toyota prius i've had problems with my braking system and went to great lengths to get my car repaired. i have toyota dealership documentation of what was done to my car to correct the problem. my car was in their shop for 2 months and it took 2 dealerships to figure out what was wrong. if you would like to ask questions about my experience for your investigation, i'll be happy to cooperate to the best of my ability. | |||

| I just bought a 2009 prius & there are so many issues with unexpected acceleration & vehicle not going into park or reverse just stops in neutral, i was at a heb sore trying to park, all of a sudden my car sped up an hit a pole in front of me, i was trying to park, with my foot on break, so as to slow down, yesterday i had my wife drive the prius & the car suddenly stopped would not go into reverse or drive, that was very dangerous then they pull into a target parking lot i had to drive out there to meet them, it took almost 1hr & 3mins to get the car in reverse, off course i called my toyota sales guy this being the third time i have reported this incident & the keep down playing it saying there is nothing wrong, not really looking into it. *tr | |||

| The vsc track and engine lights came on at the same time at exactly 108,000 miles. this has been a very reliable vehicle except when it seems the computer parts are programmed to fail. i use to commute in heavy slow traffic in southern california when my brake light would come on when using the brakes in traffic. the dealer could not find a problem.. the brake light will go off after the key is turned off and back on again however the vsc/track light still on appear t be a computer defect. i see many problems with this could lead to vehicle tipping big problem maybe this issue is related to toyotas vehicles super accelerating just a thought! *tr | |||

| My brake master cylinder has had to be replaced 4 times in the last 2.5 years. i was terrified when my brakes would not my brake pedal went all the way down to the floor. since i am a disabled driver who cannot transfer in and out of my wheelchair on my own made it extremely worse! the first time the van had 5000 mi on it. the second time with within 25 mi and a day after i picked it up from the dealership! the dealership cover it under my warranty for the first 2 times in may of '08. now that it happened again. i was told that it was not covered under my warranty because my van was modified, but it ha 24,000 mi and 2.5 year old. the brake master cylinder was not tampered with during the conversion process and is a toyota part. there was an investigation done to find out who was at fault. it was determined that toyota's part was defective but the dealership still refuse to warranty it! the dealerships are unwilling to even help us find a solution. now i'm forced pay 1000.00+ to fix it when it should be cover under warranty. i am forced to fix it because it's my only means of transportation! my family and i are extremely upset with the service and difficulties we are receiving. i would think that if the problem is not toyota's fault, then should go the extra mile to help resolve it instead of leaving their customers out in the cold! terrible way to do business! *tr | |||

| This is an update to the complaint i filed on 2008/10/14, odi 10253642 about prius hid headlight failure. since that incident i have had the driver and passenger side bulbs replaced four times and swapped left-for-right for diagnosis twice. even with those new bulbs, which my dublin, ca, toyota dealer swears are the newer, good bulbs, the headlights always have failed again within one to four weeks. actually, those are the intervals at which i have *noticed* the failures, but i'm sure the bulbs failed sooner than that, because sometimes it's hard to tell while driving, and the lights always relight when switched off and on. there would have been even more replacements and failures, but i have delayed taking the car in for repair until i could drive into the dealership while the light was out, as proof that it has failed. it's obvious to me and every other prius owner that the bulbs are either not the problem or at least not the only problem--the electronic control module undoubtedly also or instead is faulty. toyota corporate continues to refuse to acknowledge the severity, persistence, and breadth of the problem. yesterday the dealer repeated the left-for-right swap because toyota corporate demands that diagnostic procedure. but the dealer admitted that no more information will be gained than was gained the last time they swapped left for right, when the light worked there at the dealer, but failed on me subsequently (the same-side headlight with the swapped bulb). they are simply avoiding the expense and liability of replacing the control computer. *tr | |||

| My husband and i purchase a toyota tacoma double cab 4x4 2009, on friday may 22, 2009, and we are having problems with the transmission and the radio. when we are slowing down to turn on a curve and when we depress the accelerator the transmission downshifts into what appears to be the 1st gear. the engine will race up to a higher rmp as the car suddenly slows down. this is definitely a safety hazard. this possess a possibility of an accident as our vehicle now slows down quickly as we are coming out of the curve, light intersection or entering into an intersection. this has been occurring since we purchased both vehicle. we took it to the dealer to be checked, but cannot see anything wrong with it. they told me they can't do anything to correct the issue.(toyota of st. croix,us virgin islands). radio has been ordered because in both vehicles the radio doesn't work. it shuts off , and in the other one when you accelerate (gas pedal) the volume goes down and sometimes up. what can you do to assist us. thank you. *tr | |||

| The replacement struts for the toyota liftgate recall do not work properly in cold weather. they are too strong and will force the lift gate to close on a person. the cold weather affects the properties of the strut gases and it forces the lift gate to open too hard causing the automatic motor to force the lift gate shut. this has happened about 30 times this winter to me and in fact almost closed the liftgate on my 4 year old child. in one instance, the lift gate hit my wife on the head and caused her to fall backwards on the parking lot surface. *tr | |||

| Very often, my 2009 corolla will have a very low idle, the car acts as it is going to stall. it shudders, the tach drops low, but then will come back up. it happens several times per week when i am either backing up or going from a stop into first gear. i have driven only manual transmissions for over 26 years, and this is the first vehicle i have owned that this has happened with. i fear i will be hit from behind, or t-boned when the car acts as if it wants to stall. it never has stalled, but it frightens us. as i mentioned, the car shudders, shakes when this happens to us. we feel it may have something to do with a low idle problem, either with the electronics or software. we have taken it back to the dealer a few times, but it's the famous can not duplicate answer. we only drive this vehicle usually from april to late october. we live in the snowbelt of ohio and drive our 4x4 jeep nov. through march. i also drive a 2001 manual transmission honda civic, with never theses issues. i can't give incident dates, this happens frequently during each week, ever since i took delivery of this car in march, 2008. again, this is a 2009 corolla s. *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 toyota camery. i have had issues with the brakes every since i got the car. the anti-lock brakes don't work the way that they should. when you press on the brake hard like you would in an emergency the car will not stop at all its as if the brakes go completely out. but if you press them slowly they work fine. but if you give a quick press they don't work. this has resulted in me almost having several accidents. i did have an accident in november 2006. when i pressed the brakes they completely gave out and i hit someone from behind. *tr | |||

| I was proceeding north bound on meadowbrook pkwy, in my 2009 toyota camry. i intended to go west on southern state pkwy. i had to make a legal left turn from meadowbrook pkwy, onto a curved entrance roadway. the caution sign instructed a 50 mph speed limit for this left turn. i was driving less than 50 mph. i applied my brakes to slow down, at that point. my car sped up rather than slowing down. i lost total control of my toyota. i am not certain of the order, but i swayed left, right, and spun around-- all several times. i crossed the entire 3 lanes on southern state pkwy. and nearly collided with the steel road dividers. my toyota's front and rear were heavily damaged. my car was totaled. at the same time, my car struck a commercial limo who made an attempt to save me on the hwy, thankfully. the worst part of this accident is that i could have been killed and it could have been my last day. *tr | |||

| In august 2009 the computer was replaced on my 2007 toyota corolla because it died in the middle of the intersection. since that time, my car will suddenly rev up and accelerate on its own. i took it to the dealer service center a few weeks ago and after having it for a week, returned it to me and stated nothing was wrong. on november 2nd, my car suddenly accelerated pulling into my driveway and i had to knock it out of gear and stand up on the brake to get it to stop. i called the dealer and he said to call toyota that he would not do anything with the car. i have a car in my garage that i cannot drive for safety reasons, no help from toyota, and i will never drive it again as i have had re-occurring nightmares because of this incident as my twins were playing in the driveway and i had just passed my son on his tricycle and stopped and put my daughter on my lap to pull into the garage when this happened. i have asked for a full refund on the car and tony stubblefield with reliable toyota in springfield mo said that the best he could do was allow me to trade it in there. this did happen to me, i have never in my life filed a law suit, and i would like this car taken away and the situation rectified or i will be left with no other alternative but to seek the services of an attorney. this stress is causing me health issues. *tr | |||

| I just noticed others had complaints about this issue too on your site. i brought it to the attention of the dealer and they had no fix except to remove one or the other although the standard clip does not work well with their mudder mats. i was entering the highway from the ramp and pressed down to accelerate to move into traffic and the truck accelerated as hard and fast as it could. i found myself having to weave through traffic like i was in a nascar race. when i finally found a clear path to the shoulder i swerved onto it and shut the truck off. it would not slow down and i could not shift into neutral. i had to be going about 60 at the top of the onramp and well over 100, probably faster, when i finally was able to shut it off. i got out of the truck to take a break and calm down and upon returning to the truck i noticed that the mudder mats i bought from a toyota site slipped forward enough to wedge itself under the gas pedal. i stay aware of the position of the mat more frequently now and keep it slid back but there is no restraint for it that will go thru both the floor liner that protects more of the floor area and the mudder mat on top of it. i bought both at the tundra parts site. i hope that there will be some warning for others made big and dramatic enough to bring attention to this problem to avoid having this happen to another. i was very lucky to have survived this. *tr | |||

| I discovered approximately 15 months and 18000 miles after taking delivery of my new, 2009 toyota/scion xb vehicle, that the tire placard information was incorrect (showing 35psi front and 32psi rear). it should have showed 39psi front and 37psi rear. i've been driving this whole time with grossly underinflated tires resulting in extremely uneven wear. the safety issue goes without saying...it is my understanding that a federal law/regulation requires the seller of new vehicles in the u.s. to put proper tire placard information on the vehicle. toyota/scion customer service says the dealer was negligent and the dealer says they have never put a correct/replacement placard on a new vehicle. also, a rim had to be replaced (at my expense) after running over a small pothole several months ago...i contend that had the tire inflation information been correct, the damage wouldn't have been done and i wouldn't be out ~$600 to replace rim. *tr | |||

| I have a 2010 toyota corolla. dec.24 2009 was a report of the first failure. i was driving out of a residential parking lot and applied my brakes before i approached the street and my car ended up accelerating hitting the passenger door of another vehicle. moreover if i drive over a bumpy surface or pot hole my pedals start to kick back or vibrate. don't know what to call it. also i have 2 recalls for my vehicle according to toyota service center. after fixing my recall i now have a new problem with my car. it makes squeak sounds and squeals as i apply my foot on the accelerator. i took it back to the toyota service center on mar.2 and they told me after waiting 2 hours that nothing was wrong with my car and put on my service receipt as normal noise. also regarding the accident a toyota inspector from corporate inspected my car before my recall was fixed and despite the two recalls said that my vehicle has no problems and the accident had nothing to do with it. i now drive a 2010 toyota corolla that squeals and squeaks every day and my insurance company is fighting property damage and bodily injury claims from the driver i struck on the passenger side and everything appears to be my fault and not toyota. im in such distress with toyota i don't know what more to do. i gave them chance after chance to help me but its just getting worse. this is my first new car and also my first accident i ever had. im scared that i have to pay 20,000 for the next five years for a defected car. please help! *tr | |||
