Toyota Camry Problems by year

dealer repair has not been done yet, so the failed part should be available for inspection once removed. I did not notice any warning lamps or messages before either failure. This is a safety and security concern. A door that will not lock can be opened from outside while the car is stopped in traffic, and the car cannot be secured when parked. My wife commutes in it daily and parks in public garages, and our family rides in it. Toyota covered the first repair as a goodwill gesture but denied the second as out of warranty. I am aware of a pending federal class action, [[redacted]] et al. v. Toyota (E.D. [redacted].), alleging door lock actuator defects in Camry Hybrids. I request that NHTSA review this failure pattern.

shoulder while my vehicle was rapidly losing speed and unable to accelerate. This created an extremely dangerous situation because I could not maintain the speed of surrounding traffic or accelerate to safely change lanes. I was at significant risk of being struck by another vehicle. The failure occurred very suddenly with very little time to react. There was no check engine light on and otherwise my car seemed to be operating normally prior to this incident with the exception of a few hard shifts between first and second gear. After the incident, the vehicle was taken to a repair facility. The mechanic informed me that the transmission was not functioning and that a replacement transmission may be necessary. I was also informed that Toyota transmissions were on national backorder and that a service bulletin existed concerning the transmission. The exact cause of the failure has not yet been confirmed. I am reporting this incident because the sudden and complete loss of acceleration at interstate speeds presents a serious safety hazard. Had I been unable to reach the shoulder, or had surrounding traffic been less accommodating, this failure could have resulted in a serious or potentially fatal collision. Me vehicle was purchased from a Toyota dealership used with 42,000 miles and has only 114,000 miles currently. It is available for inspection upon request.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). I filed Toyota Claim #[redacted]. On [redacted], Toyota's contractor, Engineering Analysis Associates (EAA), inspected the car and read the EDR at Peruzzi Toyota. On [redacted], Toyota denied my claim, finding no mechanical defect and noting an aftermarket floor mat over the OEM mat. Toyota's denial ignores key facts: (1) The aftermarket mat has a heavy nibbed rubber backing, cannot slide, sits well clear of the pedals, and never trapped the accelerator. (2) As proven in Bookout v. Toyota, transient ETCS-i software freezes ("task death") hold the throttle open without setting fault codes and self-clear when turned off, while an open throttle depletes engine vacuum and starves the power brakes. (3) Toyota excluded 2002-2004 Camrys from its Brake Override System software updates. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
