“Toyota Camry hybrid has an insufficient warning label on the high voltage service plug. The small type and the tiny international symbols are not recognizable until you take cap out to read the message. After I removed the cap to read the message, I discovered it was a warning message not to remove the cap. I was indeed fortunate not to have been killed or seriously injured. As it was, I disabled my car and had to have it towed to the dealership to have the service module reset. …”
NHTSA complaint #10332719, filed 2010-05, 9,850 miles“On wednesday march 17, 2010 I took my 2009 Toyota Camry to my local Toyota dealership in chester, va to have my vehicle serviced due to the recent recall issue. This morning while driving to work I noticed that when I let off the gas pedal, my car accelerates just a bit and/or sticks just for a few moments and then decelerates . The vehicle was doing this prior to the service, and is still doing this after the vehicle maintenance was completed yesterday. I feel that whatever fix Toyota is performing on the recalled vehicles is not working. …”
NHTSA complaint #10320647, filed 2010-03, 55,255 miles“While merging onto I-5 I pushed the resume speed selection on speed control. The car sped up and exceeded the preset speed of 59 MPH and reached 80 MPH. Neither applying the brakes or pushing the speed controls on/off switch turned the speed control off. I turned the key off and on to control the steering and used the parking brake to get the car to the shoulder. This was a very freighting experience so I just sat there for a while. I started the car and the engine a couple times and rpms went to the red line. The floor mat was laying flat and hooked. …”
NHTSA complaint #10318077, filed 2010-03, 5,000 miles“Toyota Camry post recall fix - issues 1. Toyota Camry car suddenly accelerated and brakes did not work. Car ended up in a ditch and needed to be towed 2. Toyota Camry recall fix was done 2 days before the incident. A metal shin was inserted into accelerator assembly pedal along with car software (break overrides accelerator). Really bad customer experience - no quick response to the issue - have roadside assistance but was denied any towing charger at the dealership - nobody called me for 2 days to let me know status of the car - lost my keys and kept me waiting.”
NHTSA complaint #10315943, filed 2010-03, 6,500 miles“Twice within a week my gas pedal did not release, resulting in a continued acceleration for my 2009 Camry hybrid. First time was on an exit ramp where I release pressure on the pedal to slow down but it did not move for a few seconds. The second time was pulling out and needing to quickly accelerate, I then released pressure, but the car continued to increase in speed. Both times I move the floor mat toward my seat, and the second time required shifting the car into neutral. After the second incident, I took my car to the dealer who sold it to me and reported the above. …”
