Driver door has remained in lock position when I tried to exit the car. Could NOT manually move the inside door lock and had to climb over the middle console to exit the car. I see this as a safety issue, as exiting the car slowly during an emergency could have caused an emergency. Also, for persons who are older or have physical mobility issues, climbing over console could be impossible. In addition to this issue, and possible related, is the fact the driver door actuator does not function properly. Hence, when trying to use my remote key fob, driver door will not unlock. This is potential for an emergency; for example, if trying to quickly get into car in a parking lot where there can be potential thieves, I am delayed getting safely into my car, since I have to use a key to unlock driver door. If I go around to passenger door, I would have to climb over console to get to driver seat. I am [XXX]. This is not ideal. I am original owner of the car. This issue has sporadically been a problem for several yrs. I took the car to 2 repair shops in Ca. Neither could determine how to make the repair after having to remove inside door panel. I have read there are THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS about this over the yrs., and Toyota has refused to make a recall campaign. I hope you can help initiate one. Current average estimate to try to repair this is $750. , and that does not include the lock that sometimes sticks in closed position.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, he depressed the brake pedal however, the brake pedal felt spongy. The contact depressed the brake pedal forcefully to the floorboard to stop the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the road to inspect the vehicle but was unable to locate the cause of the failure. The contact was able to continue driving at a slower speed to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and had the brake master cylinder and brake booster replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The contact called an unknown local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I was driving my 2006 Toyota Camry on a level residential road at 35 mph and stopped at a red light. Upon turning left, the car unexpectedly accelerated at a high speed. I stepped on the brakes but the car did not stop nor slow. I was driving towards a very busy intersection. I tried to shift the gear to park, but the car was still running out of control. I turned left onto a side street in order to avoid the intersection. I was going too fast and jumped the curb, crashed into a Toyota Tundra truck parked on the driveway, and ricocheted into the retaining wall of the neighboring property. I was wearing my set belt, the airbag deployed and hit my chest. There were long tire marks on the street and a witness reported the squealing sound of brakes. Paramedics and police arrived immediately. My blood pressure was checked and I was advised to go to the ER. In the hospital, I was checked for reflexes, stroke and heart problems and got a X-ray of my chest. Everything was ok and I was sent home after 5 hours, although my chest was severely bruised and painful for about 2 weeks. It took me a month to drive again. I kept thinking about what caused the accident. I am certain that mine was a case of sudden unintended acceleration. While there were over 7 million Toyota cars subject to unintended acceleration recalls from 2005-2012, my 2006 Toyota Camry was not included in these recalls.

I WAS DRIVING IN EAST GRANBY NEAR A FEDEX DELIVERY TRUCK. THIS TRUCK KEPT SWERVING LANES IN ORDER TO GET AROUND OTHER CARS, BUT HE DID SO BY CUTTING ME OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. HE WOULD GO TO CHANGE LANES THEN SWERVE BACK IN THE ORIGINAL LANE, CAUSING ME AND OTHER CARS TO NEED TO SLAM BRAKES TO STAY SAFE. THIS WAS ALSO IN A SCHOOL ZONE IN EAST GRANBY NEAR THE CENTER ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE BRADLEY AIRPORT IN CT. THE DRIVER KEPT LAUGHING AND SMILING AT MYSELF AND OTHER CARS AND ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND HIM TO PASS AND MOVE ON HE FLIPPED ME OFF.

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4TH (2019) I WAS WAITING IN LINE AT A RED LIGHT (ON STATE STREET AT THE INTERSECTION WITH HAYWOOD ROAD IN ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA). SUDDENLY MY TOYOTA 2006 LURCHED FORWARD AND BANGED INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR STOPPED, THEN JUMPED FORWARD AGAIN AND BANGED THE CAR AHEAD OF ME AGAIN. MY HUSBAND, SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THREW THE GEAR SHIFT INTO 'PARK' AND OUR CAR STOPPED. AS I WAS JUST WAITING IN LINE AT THE LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY SURGED FORWARD, WE FEEL THIS WAS A CASE OF 'TOYOTA SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION.' OUR INSURER HAS APPRAISED THE DAMAGE TO CAR AT JUST BELOW $3000. WE NO LONGER CONSIDER THIS CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. OUR INSURER DID NOT REQUIRE A POLICE REPORT. THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES, SO POLICE WERE NOT CALLED.

HI NHTSA, SEEMS LIKE OUR 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLE HAS PERSISTENT INEFFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM FOR FEW YEARS. WE HAVE CHANGED THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY RECENTLY AND EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP WITHIN SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE,THE ROOT CAUSE SEEMS TO BE STEMMING FROM INEFFECTIVE BOOSTER. APPARENTLY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM SUPPOSED TO LAST LIFE TIME OF THE CAR CAUSE OF EXPENSIVE PARTS AND LABOR AMOUNTING TO ALMOST 5% OF THE ACTUAL COST OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST NHTSA TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND HAVE ALL THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS BE REPAIRED ON ALL MAKE AND MODELS OF TOYOTA AT FREE OF COST TO THE CUSTOMER.

WHEN THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS PARKED BY A CURB ON THE STREET, WITHOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE TOUCHING IT. THE WHOLE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED INTO PIECES FOR NO UNKNOWN REASON. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THE WIND WAS BLOWING A LITTLE STRONGER THAN NORMAL AND THE TEMPERATURE DROP ABOUT 15 DEGREE OVER THE TIME IT WAS PARKED. THE PICTURE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME. THE PIECES STARTED TO FALL DOWN AS I DROVE.

THERE IS A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THAT RAMP AT HEMPSTEAD AVENUE. JUST AS I WAS COMING TO THE END OF THAT RAMP AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND ALMOST TO THAT SIGN, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SPED UP WITH EXTREME ACCELERATION AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER FORWARD AND THEN BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING ELSE, THE PHENOMENON ENDED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 700 RPM ON THE DASHBOARD TACHOMETER. I DROVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, MONDAY APRIL 8TH, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER. AS I WAS PREPARING FOR THAT, I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK OUT WHEN THE ENGINE AGAIN SUDDENLY SPED UP TO EXTREME ACCELERATION. AGAIN, I SLAMMED MY FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THIS TIME I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK WHICH KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING FURTHER. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE WAS ROTATED CLOCKWISE AND WELL UP INTO THE "RED" ZONE WHICH BEGINS AT 6000 RPM. IN A MOMENT OR SO, THE PHENOMENON AGAIN ENDED AND THE ENGINE AGAIN RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL IDLING SPEED.

CAR HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, HAS DONE IT SINCE NEW ONLY GOTTEN A BIT WORSE NOW THAT IT IS OLDER. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL AND WHY HASNT TOYOTA FIXED IT?

SRS WARING LIGHT ON. TAKATA RECALL

I HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. TUESDAY I HEADED TO WORK AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE GAS STATION TO CHECK IT. I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I THE PROCEEDED TO PUT THREE QUARTS IN MY CAR. THE OIL LIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO TEXAS OIL LATER THAT DAY AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THE OIL WAS FULL FOR THE MOMENT. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AND HAVE IT CHECK THE FOLLOWING DAY. I COULDN'T GET THERE ON WEDS, I WENT THURSDAY. THE CAR WAS LOW TWO QUARTS OF OIL. THEY CHECKED THE CAR BOTH TIMES FOR AN OIL LEAK. NO LEAK. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AT FIRESTONE AND HE CHECKED THE OIL, FILLED IT UP AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT REALLY GOOD. I WENT TODAY AND I HAD ALMOST NO OIL. ONE QUART. HE CHECKED THE CAR. NO OIL LEAKS. HE SAID THE CAR LOOKED REALLY GOOD FOR ITS AGE. THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND NO EXPLANATION FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION. HE TOLD ME IT NEEDED AN ENGINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE ENGINE COULD JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME. THAT SCARED ME. I WORK IN HOME HEALTH. I DRIVE MY CAR TO CLIENT'S HOMES. I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENING WHILE I AM DRIVING.

ENGINE OIL LOSS IS EXTREME. DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS LOOSE AND HANGS DOWN. BLOCKING THE VIEW.

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS WITH MY WIFE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR HAS 78,131 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TOYOTA OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID NOT SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED OR KILLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THE SEAT BELT IS FOLDED OVER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PILLAR AND I CANNOT FREE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS IN THE PAST AND I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO FREE IT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR' AIRBAG LIGHT IS O N .
