2005 TOYOTA CAMRY

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 125,647; however, the contact found a repair bill from January 10th, 2018, that indicated that the mileage as 233,045. Additionally, a Carfax Report indicated that the mileage was 248,083 on March 15th, 2022.

When slowly finishing my entry into a parking spot and braking the car suddenly accelerated to a high speed and bolted over the curb with a planter zone into another parked car directly facing my parking lane hitting the front passenger side. My car was still accelerating and hit another car to the left of the first parked car, hitting it in the rear driver side door. My car kept going until I was finally able to get the brake to work and it stopped just before another parking lot curb with planter zone. As far as I can tell the brake and or accelerator malfunctioned dangerously and suddenly. It could also have been a malfunctioning TPS (throttle positioning sensor). I would like my car inspected to determine what caused this malfunction. While everyone involved said they felt fine. One person, in the first car hit, was sitting in the driver seat, luckily no one was in the front passenger seat. That driver said she was ok. The second car was unoccupied. This dangerous incident had no warnings or symptoms prior to the accident. My online research shows that there was a recall that included my make and year for sticky pedal, floormat, and deformed accelerator cable housing. These can cause unintended acceleration or unresponsive pedal. According to the Toyota website my VIN has no outstanding recalls though. I would like my car checked out because any recall repair, if done, may not have been done thoroughly enough to prevent the collision I experienced on September 28, 2025, some 15 years or so after the 2010 recall.

Just bought this car on 3/12/2025 Was assured nothing wrong. When taking off it goes about 8 ft then hesitates causing the car behind to almost hit me. Twice it's happened. Pulling out of busy intersections is dangerous. Also it will down shift while driving regularly. Causing cars to run up on you. It also almost died at.a stop sign. Could be tranmission. Not sure exactly.

While going about 15MPH the car accelerated on its own . Had a hard time finally stopping vehicle breaking and put the car in neutral.

Unattended acceleration. I was on a slight incline, trying to enter the highway. I was stopped with my foot on the break with all of a sudden acceleration, and I started to surge forward. I kept my foot on the break and kept the car from moving forward, but it did seemed to it, going into high gear to want to move forward. Then put it in neutral and in reverse to back up a couple feet so that I wasn’t hit by a moving car on the highway. And then drove the car home. And Toyota to report the problem.

July 14, 2021 arriving back to New Jersey from Las Vegas. I pick up my vehicle Wednesday night at Hoboken NJ garage , heading home my 2005 Toyota Camry vehicle air bag (steering wheel) deployed. As I was driving (15mph) no lights was on the dashboard, no pot holes on the street and there was no accident involving my vehicle. I was hit in the face from the air bag pretty hard it almost made me crash into a electric pole and gas station. 911 was called, the Jersey City police department, fire department and Ambulance arrived. The area was block off looking for car parts or pot holes nothing was found so the police report can be completed. I treated inside the ambulance at the scene, my left hand was burned and head/ neck was hurting. I just decline going to the hospital at the moment. The police called a towing company as I called my car insurance to informing them the situation. As my vehicle was being towed away the police officer said its a malfunction problem it can be a recall I don't know about. The following day I was in touch with my claim agent from my insurance, letting them no where my vehicle was towed at. They informed me to get in touch with the Toyota to see if they going to take full responsibility of the air bag being deployed on July 14, 2021 . I called Toyota Corporation and gave them all the information they asked and then I was told a inspector would reach out to inspect my 2005 Toyota Camry vehicle but it has to be a auto body shop. The place the police got my vehicle towed to the night ofJuly 14, 2021 from Hoboken NJ was not a auto body shop. It was just inside a gate full of other cars. I paid full price for storage fees end up getting my 2005 Camry to a auto body shop in Jersey City NJ were the Toyota Corporation inspector came out July 27 2021 . I called Toyota Corporation multiple times they kept saying it takes up to 30days to make decision from the inspection notes. Yesterday August 25 2001 I received a email they not taking blame.

BRAKE PEDAL IS "STUTTERING" AT QUICK STOPS. WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS YELLOW AND I PRESS DOWN BRAKE FIRMLY, THE BRAKE WORKS, THEN RELEASES BY ITSELF. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PRESS IT AGAIN TO ACTUALLY STOP VEHICLE. THIS "STUTTER" CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD A FEW FEET. IT'S A BIT SCARY TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER BRAKING APPROPRIATELY. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BRAKES!!!! DANGEROUS!!! HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR LAST 3 MONTHS!!!

STARTED RECEIVING CONSTANT RED ILLUMINATED AIR BAG ICON ON THE DASHBOARD WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE.

I AM DISPUTING THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS ME LISTED AS AN OWNER. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WANT IT REMOVED FROM MY RECORD(S) IMMEDIATELY!!!!

MELTING SHINY DASHBOARD THAT HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ON SUNNY DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL, MY POWER STEERING HAS BEEN LEAKING. 05/2018 I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, I REVERSED OUT AND STARTED TO TURN A LITTLE BIT AND IT STARTED TO MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND KIND OF HARD TO TURN.(2) TAKATA RECALL MY CAR IS OVERHEATNG AS I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY I STOPPED PUT IT IN NEUTRAL PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SAT THERE FOR 3 MINUTES AND THE DIAL WENT TO EXTREMELY HOT, I TURNED IT OFF IMMEDIATELY.

THIS ISN'T AN INCIDENT, BUT APPARENTLY HAS LED TO AN INCIDENT FOR MANY. DRIVERS SIDE SHOULDER BELTS EASILY FOLD OVER ITSELF ON THE SIDE, SO THEN WON'T RETRACT THROUGH THE SLOT IN THE PILLAR. ***SAFETY ISSUE*** DUE TO DESIGN, HAPPENED A LOT. REPLACEMENT OF ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO NOT BE A RELIABLE FIX, PER MANY OWNERS, AND NOT JUST CAMRY, MANY YEARS. ***NO RECALL NEEDED: ***IF TOYOTA MADE INFO ON HOW TO DEAL WITH IT FINDABLE AND AVAILABLE, OWNERS COULD RESOLVE IT - OVER AND OVER. ***TOYOTA & DEALERS HAVEN'T MADE THE INFO AVAILABLE. I SPENT THREE HOURS ONLINE, COUNTLESS PEOPLE ASKING HOW DO I..... IF A PERSON KNOWS HOW, THEY CAN UNDO THE PROBLEM, THEN CAN MINIMIZE PROBABILITY OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN *** BY SLOWLY PULLING BELT, AND *** ESPECIALLY RELEASING IT SLOWLY. ***WHEN IT GETS MESSED UP, MOVE THE SHOULDER HEIGHT ADJUSTER ON THE PILLER UP AND DOWN UNTIL IT FIXES. JUST ABOUT EXACTLY THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO EACH PERSON WHO NEWLY ACQUIRES A USED CAMRY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS SEEN ON 2018, BUT ONLINE REPORTS INDICATES IT IS ON MANY MODEL YEARS, AND *** NOT JUST CAMRYS.

'TAKATA RECALL' ON THE FIRST START IN THE MORNING AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT THE EXHAUST. I HAVE NOT DETECTED ANY ODOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT OWN THE CAMRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

ON 4/13 AROUND 2PM, I ARRIVED AT FRIEND'S TOWNHOUSE (ADDRESS: 203 WILDFELL TRL. CARY NC27513). I DROVE MY CAR INTO A PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE SLOWLY WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. BEFORE I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO THE 'PARKING', MY CAR SUDDENLY SHOOT UP AND HIT THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX IN THE FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE. THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL IT HIT THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THEN MOVING BACKWARD AND STOPPED. THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX WAS DAMAGED, THAT CAUSED THE POWER OUTAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I ALSO GOT THE CITATION AND GOT CHARGED WITH 'THE MISDEMEANOR OR INFRACTION' FROM THE POLICE, FOR THAT I WILL NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER TO DEFEND THE CASE. I WAS SO SHOCKED AND PANIC. I HAVE A VERY CLEAN DRIVING RECORD IN THE PAST 30 YEARS. I KNEW TOYOTA DID HAVE A 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. YESTERDAY, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THE '2005 TOYOTA CAMRY' DID HAVE SEVERAL CAR INCIDENTS CAUSED BY 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' IN THE PAST. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T INJURE OR KILL ANY PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T RECALL MY CAR AND THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME ALL THE COSTS OF THE DAMAGES.

I HAVE FRONT SIDE AND P. SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING ALL OF SUDDEN. IT REFLECTS AIR BAG SIGN ON INTO MY DASHBOARD.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MINIMAL RATE OF SPEED IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. I EXPERIENCED RANDOM ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE.DESPITE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING. I TURNED MY VEHICLE INTO A METAL POLE TO KEEP IT FROM TEMPORARILY MOVING FORWARD. DUE TO THE ACCELERATION & FRICTION, THE ASPHALT UNDER THE CAR WAS BURNED, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED AS DID THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE ENTIRE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP BY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW CONTROL PANEL CAUGHT FIRE WHILE THE CAR WAS UNATTENDED.IN OUR GARAGE. BURNED THE DOOR PANEL AND FRONT SEAT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 - 65 MPH. I AM A CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND AM ALWAYS AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS AROUND ME. SUDDENLY, MY CAR JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A SHOT. IT WAS GOING AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. THERE ARE DARK SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD FROM MY BRAKING. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT, BUT THE NEXT THING I KNEW I HAD FLIPPED INTO THE MEDIAN. I FLIPPED TWO TIMES IN THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING, HOOD FIRST, ON THE MEDIAN. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS. I WAS MERELY DRIVING, IN THE SLOW LANE, AT A SAFE SPEED. IT IS A MIRACLE I AM ALIVE, AND EVEN MORE-SO THAT I WASN'T INJURED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AT THE END OF THE ACCIDENT, MY SEAT BELT WAS UNLATCHED. I AM GOING TO RECEIVE A CITATION FOR THIS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON 2005 CAMRY'S SINCE THIS HAPPENED, AND HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS FAULT AND I NEARLY WAS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T WARN US OF THIS. I KNOW THE VIN NUMBER SAYS NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS MODEL, BUT RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT INVOLVED RESEARCH IN SELF-ACCELERATING GAS PEDALS REPORT 'DISTURBING EVIDENCE OF PROBLEMS POTENTIALLY AFFLICTING THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM GOVERNING THE GAS PEDAL, PROBLEMS THAT TOYOTA AND THE HIGHWAY SAFETY AGENCY HAVE SO FAR DISMISSED.' (HUFFPOST, 1/22/12) I AM NOT A 'SUE' PERSON, BUT I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAW. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING, HORRIBLE, UNNECESSARY CRASH. I DON'T KNOW WHEN/IF I'LL GET THE COURAGE TO GO BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN. IT REPLAYS OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND. THE TERROR IS IMMENSE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD BOUNCED OFF AND HIT MY SUNROOF! WINDSHIELD IS FINE AND SUNROOFS ARE MADE TOUGH SO I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT TILL ABOUT 15 MILES LATER WHEN I HEARD AIR! MY WINDOWS WERE UP I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE MY DAUGHTER HIT THE BUTTON WHEN WE STOPPED TO GET GAS RIGHT BEFORE THEN! WHEN I OPENED THE SHADE TO THE SUNROOF GLASS FELL IN MY FACE! A WHOLE THE SIZE OF GOLF BALL WAS THERE AND THE WHOLE GLASS WAS SPIDER WEBBED! I WAS ABOUT 1HR AWAY FROM HOME SO I PULLED OVER AND BOUGHT TAPE TO PUT ON IT! I'VE OWNED MANY CARS WITH SUNROOFS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE SHATTER LIKE THIS ONE DID FOR SUCH A TINY ROCK! I WAS TOLD A FEW COMPANIES RECALLED SUNROOFS AND I SURE HOPE Y'ALL ALSO DO! IF THAT SHADE WOULD HAVE BEEN OPEN ME AND MY 6 YEAR OLD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF THE ACTUAL GLASS ON HAND BECAUSE I HAD TO QUICK FIX IT TO GET HOME!
