| I work in the maintenance department at curtis-maruyasu in lebanon,ky. we make fuel and brake lines for toyota. when the toyota plant in indiana(subaru plant) complained of brake lines leaking, our boss told us to deny knowing about any problem if asked by toyota representatives that would visit to investigate, even though we knew of problems for several months prior to being informed by toyota about problems with 2 benders that shape the brake lines. there have also been follow up visits because the problem was not resolved. i am just now reporting this because i do not want to lose my job, but my conscience tells me that i need to report this. i hope this is the right place to do it. | |||

| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) on 8/10/9 we purchased a new 2010 toyota camry le, vin [xxx]. this vehicle has been recalled at least two times for two defects. no one seems to know what the problem is: gas pedal, floor mat, electronics etc. since august we have only driven this vehicle 4,200 miles because are afraid of sudden excel ration and other phenomena that might occur. moreover, we have lost a substantial sum on this vehicle due to the problems. we have lost confidence in toyota and its dealership. they lie, mislead, and give out wrong information. there is a real safety problem with toyota and all they do is deny. *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2010 toyota camry in july 2009. i was returning home from visiting relatives in nj. in early august. i was on a stretch of highway leading into 290 worchester from the mass pike auburn,when i accelerated to pass a semi truck and the accelerator stuck. i reached a speed of 85mph, so i punched the pedal with my feet and it dislodged. i reported the incident to the prime toyota dealership in saco,me.'s service dept. in nov. when i brought in the vehicle for a routine oil change. they had me remove the floor mats. i recently had the recall repair, so far there has not been another incident, but i am still leery about accelerating quickly and have not attempted to test pressing the pedal to the floor. *tr | |||

| I just bought a 2010 toyota camry and they did not tell me that there were 3 million in recalls on the vehicle. that is very dishonest. i also took my car to the service center and they said they did not know about the recall. that is lying. toyota did not look at my floormats or accelerator. they did nothing to secure my safety or evaluate my floormat or accelerator when i went in there. *tr | |||
