| I own a toyota camry 2005 purchased this fall. i have come close to having an accident at least a half a dozen times. the gas pedal and brake pedal seem to be designed so that are located too close to each other, so when i go to hit the brake i sometimes hit the accelerator pedal instead. this is going to lead to property or bodily harm. i emailed toyota about a month ago but they just said to take it to the dealer who then said the brakes were adjusted. no way has this helped! *tr | |||

| 2005 toyota camry. rear window speaker grills, both of them. they are cracking and falling apart even though no one has touched them an nothing has been placed on them. i understand this has become a common complaint. toyota said i would have to replace the whole section for about $500 for parts. (not including labor) but others say the replacement part falls apart too. *tr | |||

| He has been experiencing problem either with the transmission or the accelerator. when he start to accelerate sometimes, usually in low speed, 20% to 40% of the time, there is a few seconds the car does not respond, and suddenly he feel a jolt and the car jumps violently. he has to look back whenever it happens to see if someone has crash in to his car. if there is a car infront of him while in traffic, this could lead potential car accident of hitting the car infront of him. he also has to make sure he does not park too close to other cars or the wall. i have help him reported the issue to dealer 2 times many months ago and they said they can not fix the problem if they can't feel the problem. i have also told the headquarter i found numerous complaints on the same hesitation/acceleration problem my father experiencing and i noticed toyota have been telling other people same response that dealer can not fix the problem if dealer can not feel the problem, and dealer have been telling people this is normal behavior for those who revisited many times. there are hundreds of complaints about this issue if you go search on google (using keyward toyota camery transmission problem). one of the website is i found from google result for example was http://www.autobytel.com/content/research/forums/index.cfm/action/posts/fid/2852. it has 27 pages of such complaints . i have also notice such complaints does not apply to just 2005 year camery but against 2002 and 2007 camery as well. with so many cars they sold over 5 years and so many complaints on their transmission that can lead accidents and possibly already did, toyota are making individuals feel as if they are the only one imagining things. a few people said certain stores allow them to do a computer chip fix, and the fix was not helpful. on top of transmission problem. he noticed paint peeling, rust paint under 15x magnifying glasses, a bubble on dash board. *tr | |||

| Dt: the consumer was told by toyota that her vehicle has a design flaw. when looking out the side mirror on driver's side the vents reflect in the window. this causes poor visibility when looking into the mirror to check blind spots and oncoming traffic. at night the instrument panel lights reflect in the window also causing poor visibility. the consumer tried diming the instrument panel but that didn't help. *ak *nm | |||

| I purchased this vehicle new in 2005, and i am the primary driver of this vehicle. while driving to the store i smelled something burning, when i pulled into the parking lot of the store i saw a lot of smoke coming from the front passenger door. i immediately stopped the car and smoke started filling the cabin of the car. i instructed my 11 year old son who was sitting the front passenger seat to open the door and exit the car. when he opened the door flames started coming out of the door latch area. i turned the ignition off and ran to the passenger side door and poured a bottle of water on the latch area on the door. the fire went out for a second then reignited. i then realized that it was an electrical fire and disconnected the batteries positive cable. i then ripped the door panel off and poured more water down the inside of the door putting the fire out. after insuring that the fire was out i found the fuse that supplied the power to the passenger door and pulled it, i then reconected the battery cable back and started the car. the passenger door would not latch closed. so i tied a rope to the inside door handle to hold it closed so i could drive it home. no one was injured during this incident. | |||

| Toyota camry le model has three problems: idle control is above 2400, rod that hold piston is not secure to hold it tight and causing the piston to jiggle around, toyota said that is a defective part and should replace the engine. and weather seal is inadaquate, you can hear all traffice noise with radio on full volume. dealer is very unfriendly and they gave me run around, they replaced the engine without my permission and still has same problems i had before they replace the engine and has not fix the other problems and refuses to give anyone else's name to talk to. 800# tells me to call dealer and dealer tells me to call 800# and still unable to resolve this issue. i will never buy toyota or recommend to anyone. becouse of the poor service when you have problem they do not want to talk to you and they give you run around.*ak | |||

| The driver's side back window has had a whisleing sound since i purchased the car. i thought it was just the way the car was made that it wasn't very sound proof but when i rode in the passenger side it didn't make the sound. i believe there is a problem with the weatherstripping or the way the back drivers side door seals. *ak | |||

| I bought a certified 2005 toyota camry xle from autowest honda, roseville. i was told that the car had no accidents and the car is clean per the carfax. i have had the front passenger seat belt replaced and now the driver front seat belt is going out. i received a post card for a free appraisal at 60,000 miles and i took my car into the toyota dealership and they told me the car has been in an accident prior to me purchasing the vehicle. the front end frame is bent and parts have been replaced and the car is maybe worth $8,000 and the car should of been sold as salvage and not certified car. the front bumper is coming off and also the paint chipped off on the side of the accident. the paint is different in the front from the hood. i do not know the date of the incident date, as for it happened prior to me purchasing the car. *tr | |||
