The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to immediately respond after the gear shifter was shifted into reverse(R). The contact stated that there was a hesitation before the vehicle responded. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred after shifting into drive(D). There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys where it was diagnosed that the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) vacuum switching valve needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was not drivable. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 232,000.
I WAS ABOUT TO PULL OUT ONTO ROUTE 23 S. IN WAYNE NJ. I WAS APP 35 FEET IN FRONT OF A STORE. I PLACED THE CAMRY IN PARK FOR A SECOND. I THEN WENT TO PLACE THE CAR IN DRIVE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED GOING IN REVERSE STRAIGHT TOWARD THE STORE. I COULD NOT STOP IT. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW YOU ARE GOING TO REACT IN A SITUATION THAT COMES ON YOU SUDDENLY. ANYWAY, I OPENED THE CAR DOOR TO GET MY BEARINGS AND WAS MORE THAN HALF-WAY OUT THE CAR. MY LEFT LEG WAS ALSO OUT OF THE CAR. I HAD ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AT THE LAST SECOND, I TURNED THE WHEEL AND MISSED BOTH THE STORE AND PARKED CARS. MY CAR CRASHED INTO A FENCE. I WAS NOT HURT BUT WAS SHAKEN UP. TOYOTA SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE...
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES TO MY WELL-MAINTAINED 2000 CAMRY V6 WITH 88,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR OFTEN SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES JUST BEFORE IT COMES TO A STOP. I USUALLY HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION, BUT THAT IS A VERY UNSAFE TACTIC. THE DEALER REPLACED A WHEEL BEARING BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT. NOW THE DEALER THINKS THAT THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5000-$6000, WHICH IS ABOUT TWICE WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL SO EARLY UNLESS IT WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING BRAKING, IT CLEARLY IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
