| I was driving my 2008 toyota camry hybrid near shreveport, la using the cruise control, when i suddenly found myself off the road on the sholder. i applied the brakes to no avail. i lost control and rolled over twice. i had 22 staples in my head and a burn on my neck from the seat belt. i reported this to toyota, but praised the safety features for saving my life and purchased a 2009 camry hybrid when they became available. my family and friends encouraged me to report this because my experince was so similar to that of other camry owners. my car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. toyota's website indicated that hybrids were not part of the recall, however when i took my car in for 18000 -mile service, the dealer said it had been recalled! a repair was made to the gas petal. | |||

| I own a 2006 toyota camry. recently the speakers sounded horrible. when i went to check them i noticed the speaker covers in the rear window were crumbling and falling onto the tops of the speakers. after i researched this issue i found hundreds of other people who owned camrys of various years who all have the same problem. toyota's resolution is to replace the entire back panel for a cost of $700 that includes labor. these are $30 speaker covers that could be replaced for less than $75 installed. with the numerous cases reported on the internet with hundreds of people having the same problem they should be recalled or come up with a viable solution that isn't $700. *tr | |||

| I contacted toyota after hearing about the incidents involving the floor mats with their toyota camry vehicles. i purchased a 2006 toyota camry (used) in january of 2007. when i explained to the representative at toyota that my floor mat on the driver's side moves involuntarily under both the brake and gas pedal, he asked me if i had the mat anchored correctly. i explained that there was no anchor in the carpeting or a hole where there may have been one. i further advised there was no hole in the mat for an anchor. the rep sounded surprised at this and took down my information. the rep told me that i should hear back from toyota and to remove my mats at this time due to the recent safety issues. i never heard back from toyota and there has been no update on this site as to whether or not there was a recall for missing mat anchors on the carpets. *tr | |||

| My 2006 camry ranaway on rt 290 west when it was a few months old following the replacement of an oxysendor and installation of toyota floor mats. i could not stop the car as it entered the highway and thus i rearended a semi who never even knew that i hit him. yet, greater than 2000.00 of damage happened to my auto. i have paid nearly 3000.00 in penalties for an accident which i had no control over. from thence, i was told to put my car in neutral when i stopped at lights etc. it tried to runaway at least 20 times sporadically.. i took it to toyota dealers who told me that nothing was wrong with the car. i tried to file a lemon law. it was 3 yrs of driving in ?!@#$% never knowing what could happen next. i have witnesses. *tr | |||
