NHTSA complaint #10618380, filed 2014-08, 24,100 miles“I want to bring to your attention a concern that is primarily one of safety but which also involves poor and misleading information by Toyota related to the blu-logic cell-phone connection system included as a feature on my new 2012 Camry hybrid.

NHTSA complaint #10592165, filed 2014-05, 17,500 miles“Flat tire in home garage. Oe pantograph (scissor) jack was used in attempt to raise car.

As vehicle neared top of necessary lift, jack flipped over sideways and was propelled out from under car with some force. Car fell. No injury or damage because I observed all safety precautions while lifting. Jack is flimsy, too small for the car, and has much too small a base. This occurred on level concrete floor. Markings on jack include: 2j141, 2012, and made in canada.”
