“We purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry in 2005. The first day I drove it the car hesitated on acceleration to change lanes it was lucky that it didn't cause a wreck. I took the car back to the dealership (I don't remember why) but I asked them to check it and the guy I talked to just said it was because of the fuel injection. The guy didn't offer to check it, he just made that statement. The hesitation happens any time and it always feels like someone is going to rear end us while the car is deciding what it wants to do. …”
NHTSA complaint #10315893, filed 2010-03, 19 miles“Heard a thumping noise in the drive shaft of the steering wheel. It would not go away, took the car to the Toyota dealer to look at. My car has always been serviced by a Toyota dealer there is a part in the drive shaft that links to the control arm of the wheels, this part has failed and could have caused me to loose control of the steering wheel and disabled my ability to turn my wheels, and cause a deadly accident, Toyota motor corp, has failed to notify there customers of this TSB bulletin, and this is a safety hazard. I cannot believe that this is not a recall item. …”
NHTSA complaint #10229424, filed 2008-06, 47,000 miles“Apparently in this vehicle when the oxygen sensors fail they also cause a fault in the vehicle's traction and stability control which disables the system. We have repeatedly replaced the oxygen sensors only in an effort to restore the traction control systems for the sake of safety. There is little sense in tying safety systems to emissions control systems and the repair shop says this is a common problem. It is unfair to have to pay $600 to replace oxygen sensors in order to restore a safety system ...and the oxygen sensors fail repeatedly.”
