I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 2005 PURCHASED THIS FALL. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN TIMES. THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL SEEM TO BE DESIGNED SO THAT ARE LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER, SO WHEN I GO TO HIT THE BRAKE I SOMETIMES HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSTEAD. THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO PROPERTY OR BODILY HARM. I EMAILED TOYOTA ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT THEY JUST SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHO THEN SAID THE BRAKES WERE ADJUSTED. NO WAY HAS THIS HELPED! *TR

2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. REAR WINDOW SPEAKER GRILLS, BOTH OF THEM. THEY ARE CRACKING AND FALLING APART EVEN THOUGH NO ONE HAS TOUCHED THEM AN NOTHING HAS BEEN PLACED ON THEM.

(NOT INCLUDING LABOR) BUT OTHERS SAY THE REPLACEMENT PART FALLS APART TOO. *TR

HE ALSO HAS TO MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT PARK TOO CLOSE TO OTHER CARS OR THE WALL. I HAVE HELP HIM REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DEALER 2 TIMES MANY MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY CAN'T FEEL THE PROBLEM.

DT: THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT HER VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN LOOKING OUT THE SIDE MIRROR ON DRIVER'S SIDE THE VENTS REFLECT IN THE WINDOW. THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY WHEN LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR TO CHECK BLIND SPOTS AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS REFLECT IN THE WINDOW ALSO CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. THE CONSUMER TRIED DIMING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. *AK *NM
