NHTSA complaint #11161964, filed 2018-12, 72,562 miles“I was accelerating to 40 MPH, until I noticed that I was about to exceed 40 MPH. I removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction. I started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car. I looked where I wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane. The small adjustments did not help, and I lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left. …”
NHTSA complaint #11161885, filed 2018-12, 72,500 miles“A rubbing/grinding noise was intermittently being heard from the back end during braking and, at times, during acceleration. After contacting an employee at the local Toyota dealership, I was informed that this is a common problem with the camrys and that most likely my brake pads would need to be replaced. After bringing my vehicle in for repair, I was shown on my brakes where they had become stuck and the rotors needed repair as well. If this is a common problem, then perhaps Toyota should do something about it.”
