2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION BEGAN WITH THIS CAR, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY RECENT. ALL OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I DO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE OCCURRENCES, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE LAST THREE CLEARLY. THE FIRST OF THESE WAS IN MARCH 2015. I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH AND HAD STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT I HAD MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; I HAD BEEN MAKING A SPECIAL POINT OF THAT AS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER OCCURRENCES. I FELT THE ENGINE SPEED UP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS ON MARCH 29TH WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR-WAY STOP. I WAS WAITING FOR A PEDESTRIAN (WALKING A...

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAMRY BOUNCING, SWAYING, PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR AXLES SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PULSING OR ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA IS NOT REPORTING THE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. BRAKE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATING AND TOYOTA ASSURED ME MY CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED BUT THE DEALER FIRST BLAMED THE TIRES AND BALANCING. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE LOUD SNOW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SERVICE SPECIALIST. THEY BLAMED IT ON TIRE NOISES AND SAID THE SEE YOU IN THE SPRING WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TIRES AND THEY SPECIALIST SAID YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. I...

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEATING SYSTEM OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY, I GET THIS FOUL SULFUR SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY RAN TESTS ON IT BUT SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE SMELL THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. THUS FAR TOYOTA HAS WRITTEN IT OFF TO THE SULFUR LEVELS IN THE FUEL, YET I OWN A TOYOTA COROLLA AS WELL AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SMELL HAPPENS AFTER THE FUEL IS BURNED AND PASSED THROUGH THE CATALYST CONVERTER, BUT I'M WORRIED THAT SEPARATE SYSTEMS -- THE HEATING AND THE PROCESS OF BURNING FUEL -- CROSS TOGETHER TO BRING THAT SMELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS BIG TOYOTA RECALL AND HOW THEY TRIED TO BRUSH THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG, BUT I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. THAT...
