2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine Problems

THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT #10545567. THE CAMRY EXPERIENCES SPURIOUS OR INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION HESITATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION ESPECIALLY IN WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION, THE DEALER DOESN'T SEE IT AND CLAIMS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 2012 JUST FOR MY USUAL COMMUTE OF 20 MILES PER DAY. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS JUST ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING ANYTIME I SLOW DOWN ON TRAFFIC OR TURNING. I THOUGHT BECAUSE IT NEW VEHICLE BUT IT KEEP ON UNTIL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE ABOUT 5000 MILES WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP; THERE IS NO ANY CODE AND I WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT; SECOND OIL CHANGE NO PROBLEM FOUND. NOW IT STALLS ALMOST ANY TIME THAT I AM DRIVING IT, I DID OPEN A CASE (CASE #: 1309201533) WITH TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA, AND I GOT CALL FROM THEIR REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TODAY THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE, TOYOTA CANNOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO ANY CODE TO DIAGNOSTIC. I AM AFRAID, THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO ME AND MY...

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY....ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS THE MOTOR HAS REMAINED RUNNING AFTER I LEFT THE CAR....THIS CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON IGNITION....DID I NOT TURN IF OFF PROPERLY OR IS THERE A SYSTEM MALFUNCTION....I PARK MY CAR IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE TO OUR HOUSE AND THE DOOR TO OUR HOUSE FROM THE GARAGE IS LEFT OPEN IN THE SUMMER FOR VENTILATION.....IF THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING UNKNOWN TO US DURING THE NIGHT WE WOULD PERISH FROM THE CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES....I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA, IF NOT ONLY FOR US BUT OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS....SO FAR TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE TO OUR SATISFACTION....IN FACT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR LAUGHED AT OUR SAFETY CONCERN.....THE ALARM SYSTEM ON THE CAR IS USELESS AS THE ALARM IS THE SAME WHEN I START...

THE CAR IS BECOMING UNDRIVEABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT, AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON THEIR REPORT THEY STATED "THE VEHICLE'S OPERATING AS DESIGNED." SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT'S BEEN PERFORMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. THE RIDE IS CHOPPY, BURDENED, AND LABORED. THE ENTIRE CAR SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH ITSELF. I GET INTO THE CAR FEELING FINE PHYSICALLY, AND THEN I FEEL ILL AND SICK AFTER A WHILE. THERE'S FOUL ODORS COMING FROM MY CAR, DEFINITELY FROM THE EXTERIOR AND POSSIBLY FROM THE INSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED FOR EXHAUST LEAKS AND DIDN'T FIND ANY, BUT I'M SMELLING THINGS IN THE CAR NO ONE SHOULD BE SMELLING. IT EVEN SEEMS LIKE THE CAR WOBBLES AND SHIMMIES AS IT TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED TAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY FAILURE CODES NOR COULD THE FAILURE BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BY MAIL BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

ON ACCELERATION THE GAS CUTS OUT, LASTING AROUND 3 TO 10 SECONDS. I CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS CONDITION, IT JUST HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME HAS NO INDICATION THAT I AM IN LIMBO AND COULD EASILY REAR-END ME. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I AM TURNING AT A LOW SPEED, BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY BUT SUDDENLY THE ENGINE REVVED ALL THE WAY TO 7000 RPM AND THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY. I PUT MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE ENGINE STILL STAYS AT 5000 RPM AND DOESN'T GO BACK DOWN TO NORMAL. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITH EMERGENCY LIGHT ON. TRIED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT AT 35 TO 40 MPH, THE ENGINE MADE LOUD REVVING NOISE AND THE RPM JUMPED TO 7000 AGAIN. HAD TO PULL OVER AGAIN AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. *TR

ENTERING A DRIVEWAY AT 2MPH THE CAR ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND STRUCK A BRICK WALL. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *TR
