2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Equipment Adaptivemobility Problems

THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND MELTING CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE.

UPON PURCHASING THIS CAR IN/2013 WE IMMEDIATELY HAD TROUBLE WITH THE 12 V CIGARETTE LIGHTERS. PLUGGING IN THE STANDARD ITEMS LIKE A CELL PHONE OR GPS WILL ONLY GET US ABOUT 20 MINUTES AT BRST , BEFORE BLOWING THE FUSES. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH POWER POINT WE USE, IT HAPPENS IN EACH IF THEM. THE PLACE WE BOUGHT THE CAR EXAMINED THE SITUATION THREE TIMES AND COULDN'T DECIPHER THE PROBLEM. A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WOULD CHARGE OVER $100 JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WE DON'T FEEL SAFE TRAVELING FAR WITH THE VEHICLE, BEING UNABLE TO CHARGE CELL HONE, GPS, OR SAFETY CAMERAS. THE CAR IS OTHERWISE VERY RELIABLE, BUT FOR A BATTERY WHICH SUDDENLY DIED ON US ONE VERY COLD NIGHT. WE WERE SURPRISED IT DIDN'T DIVE A WARNING THAT IT MIGHT NEED REPLACING SOON. AS FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, WE WERE TOLD WE MAY BE ABLE...

WHILE MERGING ONTO I-5 I PUSHED THE RESUME SPEED SELECTION ON SPEED CONTROL. THE CAR SPED UP AND EXCEEDED THE PRESET SPEED OF 59 MPH AND REACHED 80 MPH. NEITHER APPLYING THE BRAKES OR PUSHING THE SPEED CONTROLS ON/OFF SWITCH TURNED THE SPEED CONTROL OFF. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ON TO CONTROL THE STEERING AND USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. THIS WAS A VERY FREIGHTING EXPERIENCE SO I JUST SAT THERE FOR A WHILE. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE A COUPLE TIMES AND RPMS WENT TO THE RED LINE. THE FLOOR MAT WAS LAYING FLAT AND HOOKED. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND NOTHING LOOKED UNUSUAL. I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND IT RAN NORMALLY. I PHONED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE FLOOR MATS AND A RECALL NOTICE WAS IN THE WORKS. WE HAVE DRIVEN...

ALMOST EVERYONE KNOWS THAT TOYOTA HAD RECALLED 4M CARS, AND ONE OF THE CARS IS THE LATEST MODEL OF CAMRY, I OWN 2009 CAMRY, SENT TO DEALER. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER, INSTALLED A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM, INSERTED A STEEL BAR INTO THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, AND CUT 1 IN. OF THE PLASTIC SHOE PEDAL AND ROUNDED IT AT THE END. NOW THE PLASTIC SHOE PEDAL IS NOT ONLY SHORTER BUT ALSO SLIPPERY BECAUSE THEY ROUNDED IT. BEFORE MODIFICATION, THE SHOE PEDAL MEASUREMENT IS AROUND 4.5 IN X 1.5 IN. SQUARE WITH 2 HORIZONTAL LINES AT THE END OF THE SHOE PEDAL. (2 HORIZONTAL LINES AT THE BOTTOM PREVENT FOOT FROM SLIPPING AND SQUARE SHAPE TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE FOOT TO STEP ON). NOW, THEY CUT SHORT THE SHOE PEDAL, THE MEASUREMENT IS 3.5 IN X 1.5 IN (ROUNDED, ELIMINATED THE 2 HORIZONTAL LINES), IT NOT SQUARE ANYMORE. I LOOKED...

IN SAN DIEGO EARLIER THIS YEAR, AT NIGHT, TO ENTER HEAVY AST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM ON RAMP FLOORED GAS PEDAL IN 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH NEW HEAVY DUTY FLOOR MATS, AND HAD MAX RUNAWAY ACCELERATION. WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH HEAVY BRAKE PRESSURE, HITTING STOP ENGINE BUTTON DIDN'T WORK. CHECKED EVERYTHING I COULD AND TRIED AGAIN, SAME RESPONSE, CALLED 911 AND GOT TOW TRUCK ON THE WAY. FINALLY FIGURED OUT FLOOR MAT HAD CAUGHT GAS PEDAL AND WAS HOLDING IT DOWN. PULLED FLOOR MAT BACK INTO PLACE, AND THEN NO PROBLEM. TOLD 911 AS I RECALL TO FORGET THE TOW TRUCK. GOT UP TO 40- 50 OR SO MPH. HAVEN'T REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA YET. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I BOUGHT A 2009 CAMRY LE FROM HERB CHAMBER BOSON IN LAST OCT. RECENTLY I HEARD THE RECALL. HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THE RECALL SIMPLY BLAMING THE FLOOR MAT. I DID EXPERIENCE AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN USING CRUISE. THE CRUISE WAS SET AT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE SPEED WENT UP OVER 85 MPH, AND I NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS AT ITS FULL STRENGTH AND SHOWED NO SIGN TO STOP. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED MY CAR TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. AT THAT TIME, I JUST BLAMED THE STUPID COMPUTER PROGRAM, WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, WHEN READING OTHER PERSON'S STORIES ABOUT THE RECALL, I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN THE FLOOR MAT WAS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE ACCIDENTS. TO TELL THE TRUTH, I BARELY USE THE CRUISE SINCE THAT INCIDENT. I JUST WANT TOYOTA TO SERIOUSLY...
