The camry hybrid covered only by warranty enhancement zkk are suffering the same dangers from brake booster pump assembly failures as those toyota covered by toyota safety recalls (d0h & k0l). By excluding camry hybrids with defective brakes from the d0h and k0l safety recalls, toyota is leaving the owners to helplessly experience life-threatening brake failure or malfunction before toyota will provide the replacement brake components needed to make the vehicle safe. The law requires toyota to prevent the life-threatening dangers of this brake defect before the failure occurs. Toyota's cost-cutting strategies are causing crashes and injuries. Injuries and crashes caused by the brake defect explained in this letter have occurred and been reported to the federal safety agency. Toyota's decision to provide a reactionary, post-failure repair - instead of a preventative safety recall remedy - explains many of the crashes and injuries on the federal safety agency's website. Below is a list of relevant complaints from 'c' indicates a 'crash' and 'I' indicates 'injury': 10681105 (c), 10883971 (c), 10971542 (c), 10664739(c)(I), 10807100 (c), 10794987 (c), 10605988(c), 11154818 (c)(I), 10606258, 10592072, 10967838, 10626061(c), 10604544 (c)(I), 10569158 (c)(I), 11090508 (c)(I), 11057737 (c)(I), 10779877(c)(I), 10722560 (c)(I), 10692225 (c), 10560809 (c), 10523025 (c), 10502158 (c), 10616767 (c), 10641347,10611145, 10596979, 1051996, 11003054, 10597316, 10705883, 10875822, 10510996, 10564619 c1256, c1253, c1252, and c1391 - indicating dangers and noncompliance - are being stored in vehicles excluded from the past safety recalls.

Defect investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds
the federal safety agency received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.
DP22005
Brake Actuator Valve Wear
On September 19, 2019, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a defect petition from Mr. Roger Hogan requesting that the Agency investigate and recall certain Toyota Prius, Prius PHV, Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid vehicles for a brake actuator valve wear condition covered under Toyota Customer Support Programs ZJB and ZKK (subject CSP?s). In support of his request, the petitioner identified 117 the federal safety agency complaints allegedly related to the subject CSP condition, including 60 reporting crashes. On September 30, 2019, ODI opened Defect Petition DP19-004 to evaluate the petitioner?s request for an investigation. In August 2020, the petitioner notified the Agency that he was withdrawing his petition. Because the petitioner has withdrawn the petition, we are denying the petition as moot and no further analysis of this petition is necessary.the federal safety agency is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and remedy of a defect if the Agency?s investigation shows a defect in the design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 U.S.C. ?? 30102(a)(9), 30118. Because the petitioner has with withdrawn the petition, the petition is denied as moot. This action does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency notes that it is not required to receive a defect petition prior to opening a defect investigation and will take further action if warranted by future circumstances.

What 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
We have had all four door lock actuators replaced... Before 40,000 miles!!! And all within six months of each other...ugh!!! But at least they were under warranty, thank god, because if they weren't, it would have been $1,700. I know this is a very common problem with toyota products, I guess they just have very weak door lock motors. This is the order they went out in: drivers, rear passenger, front passenger, and rear driver. Before they actually went out, they would intermittently not work. You could see the door lock indicator trying to move, but it couldn't move all the way into the locked or unlocked position. It seemed to happen when it either was super cold or super hot outside. What was super annoying was if one door lock didn't lock, the entire car unlocked itself. So you would walk away thinking the car was locked, when it really wasn't. Eventually they just quit locking and unlocking all together. Other than that, the car has been flawless. We absolutely love the car, we are toyota people for life! However, I figure if enough people complain about them, toyota will recall them or do some sort of service bulletin for them.
Unauthorized acceleration of the car in a parking lot. The car was in a slow right turn while preparing to park, and the car surged forward without application of the accelerator pedal. Driver headed toward a tree in order to miss a public utility box but a high curb assisted in stopping the vehicle.
The windshield wipers stop working. The switch is not changing speed. The wipers just stopped in the middle of their movement cycle. The vehicle was in motion under the rain. The driver and passengers were in danger of crash.
Plastic part of the release button broke either after release or when trying to buckle up. It would no longer latch. Under 75k miles on the car and I am only driver.
Car will not start unless I use a battery charger.
I put a suitcase in the trunk on its side. It was touching the inside top of the trunk. In removing the suitcase the spring mechanism , that holds the trunk open, was dislodged. This caused the trunk lid to fall heavily on me.
Driver door lock actuator stopped working 41,000 miles. Purchased car new from toyota dealer. Lease.
When I coming to a slow down or stop on the city street or the highway, I felt the brake pedal loosen up and the car started to roll forward. The car came to stop after I pushed very hard on the pedal 2 to 3 times. This happens most time.
When driving between 40-45 MPH, a vehicle ran the stop sign on a side street on to the street my wife was driving on, and she hit the vehicle broadside. Her safety belt was securely fastened, however the shoulder portion of the belt gave way, and my wife struck the steering wheel with her chest, pinning her wrist in between herself and the steering wheel. The airbags also did not deploy.
