“My vehicle is a Camry station wagon. On the above date, I was backing my car in my driveway & the brake pedal went to the floor.. Using my floor jack, I climbed under it & discovered that the steel brake lines had ruptured due to rust in 2 locations- one beneath a bracket near the firewall, and another at the rear of the wagon near where the vehicle height solenoid is located. Subsequently, I discovered at least 3 more camrys of 1995 or 1995 vintage(including one wagon) for sale on washington d.c. Craigslist with rusted out brake lines. …”
NHTSA complaint #10822607, filed 2016-01, 222,900 miles“I was driving to work one day and my 1995 Toyota Camry started accelerating on its own on the freeway, at first I thought I was imagining it. I hit the brakes and it would not slow down. The car kept accelerating faster and faster on it's own till it went up to 90 MPH. I pulled on my emergency brakes, that slowed the car down a bit but not by very much. It mostly just made a cement grinding sound. It was really scary I felt like I was in a death machine. Luckily there weren't very many people on the freeway that day, so I just swerved out of the way of the other cars. …”
NHTSA complaint #10493637, filed 2013-01, 98,000 miles“Car has been swerving violently around curved roads. The alignment was thrown out of specification by broken coil springs. All other components such as ball joints tie rods wheel bearings... Were found to be within spec. Coil springs were both found broken, and unevenly. One coil was missing more coils than the other. If the coils had broken in a different place or there had been traffic a fatal collision could have occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #10597444, filed 2014-06, 170,000 miles“First and foremost vehicle has 345,000 miles and am the third owner and brought it from los angeles. I would like to include an image of a receipt I have from my father for $700 in costs for breaks and tires before he nine in march 2015 to chicago for its first winter in 2015. …”
NHTSA complaint #10940359, filed 2017-01“When braking there is a loud cluncking sound. My husband took the car to a Toyota repair shop and was told that the brakes were slipping and that there wasn't anything they could do because this was the brake deign. I'm concerned that the constant slipping will eventually ruin the brakes. Thus, endangering anyone in the car.”
