| Vehicle was being driven on a dirt road, going around a corner, the vehicle did not slow down and went off the road and skidded alongside the road for about 30 ft. the vehicle then hit a few small stumps, still without slowing down, and finally slammed into a large tree. the impact in which the car hit the tree was so strong that the back end of the car rose up into the air and stayed in that vertical position. only the tail lights were still visible from the road after the car slammed into the tree and stopped. if the tree hadn't been hit, the car would have continued down the hillside into the bottom of a ravine, about another 40 ft. the entire front drivers side was shoved almost to the windshield and not one of the airbags deployed. the entire drivers side of the motor and hood were destroyed, the battery was crushed and leaking acid everywhere and was sitting behind the front tire and the hood was v shaped and pushed into the windshield. there were no skid marks so clearly the brakes weren't functioning properly either, also the speed in which the vehicle went into the tree shows that the acceleration was faulty because the vehicle wouldn't slow down. the drivers face slammed into the steering wheel and broke her nose and received a possible concussion because the airbags failed to deploy, along with numerous bruises and scratches. the damage is so severe that the car is a total loss but still we are left wondering why the airbags didn't go off. if the driver hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, it is very likely that she would have been thrown straight through the windshield and it would have been a fatality. we have pictures of the vehicle and the scene of the accident to show just how serious and dangerous this is. we would like to have answers as to why a vehicle with such high crash test ratings would fail to provide adequate safety to the driver. *tr | |||

| This has happened several times in virtually identical scenarios but the most recent was as follows: i was driving in moderately heavy traffic on a three lane divided street with traffic signals. traffic was fluctuating between stop & go and approximately 30 mph. after a traffic light turned green, i began accelerating at a relatively rapid pace when a vehicle cut directly in front of me and braked. i immediately stepped on the brake but felt a tremendous amount of resistance from the pedal and the car was barely able to stop in time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. i noticed that as i was attempting to brake, the engine was still revving at a high rate from the acceleration attempt. it seems that there is some type of problem with the braking system whereby if the engine is revving the brake will fail even if the accelerator pedal is no longer being pressed. a very important detail is that each time this has happened it has been within the first few seconds of a quick acceleration from a complete stop or a crawl. i have never had this problem when trying to stop from a normal speed. *tr | |||

| Ever since i bought the car (4 cyl., xle) a year ago: automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up; it coasts a few inches after i put it into park, even on level ground. power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces. cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem. dealer's service dept. claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design. | |||

| The speedometer is inaccurate by almost 10%, when driving by radars or with another vehicle at 35 mph the radar reads 32. driving next to another vehicle to check the speedometer, it reads 70 mph but the other vehicle's speedometer reads 64 mph. the dealership has verified the inaccuracy but claims the variance is within the spec of 10%. per the dealer and it's experts the speedometer cannot be calibrated or fixed since it is in spec. | |||

| At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. the car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. the pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. based on the signs that i have seen on interstates, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. the jumping (2) was very bad. the car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredicable jumping behavior. well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing.......... this problem have happened since i bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. i have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but i have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until i bought this camry. after reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. this problem needs immediate attentions. | |||

| Change in gears jerky and between 20-40mph the car drags during acceleration it feel like something is trying to pull the car back.when it finally moves to the next gear it jumps into gear. i have complained to toyota many time and as usual once taken to the dealer to check no one seems to be able to recreate the problem. i am disappointed in toyota, i have always driven toyota and finaly decided to buy a new car due to traveling to work long distances and gave my daughter my 1999 camry which i like driving better than my new one. i stuck with toyota and they have let me and many more consumers down , they know this is a problem and false advertise a smooth ride. | |||

| Heading east on rt. 41 and upon intering an intersection on a green ligth i slowed to allow 2 cars to pass from the oncoming east traffic before making a left turn north onto a 4 lane street. upon accelerating to make the turn, the car hit the right curb at a high rate of speed causing me to quickly steer to the left to stop me from hitting the on coming traffic from the north.. i managed to cross two lanes but in the third lane was hit by an oncoming south bound vehicle.. my car was then stopped by the left hand curb. the other vehicle was demolished and $8,000 damage was caused to my front end. the air bags in the demolished car were deployed but mine were not. i feel as though the vehicle suddenly excelerated causing the accident so after having the car repaired and checked i could not feel safe in it so traded it off the one that i could. | |||
