On monday july 18th 2016 at approximately 1:30 p.m. I pulled my 2005 toyota camry into the parking lot handicap spot at bagger dave's located 50570 gratiot, chesterfield michigan 48051. As I was preparing to put the vehicle in park the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward very hard and very fast I attempted to apply the brakes three separate times and the car was still moving forward at the same rate on the fourth try I use both feet to press on the brakes very hard jamming the brake pedal into the floor rendering my body into a 180 degree angle position stretched out completely with an arched back. I am only 5 ft 1 in tall. I waited then I put the car in park at that time and just sat in the vehicle. Upset crying shocked fearful I looked to my right and there were three witnesses a woman and her two daughters entering the restaurant and standing approximately 5 feet from a vehicle.

My serpentine belt recently started squealing, so I bought a new one and changed it myself. Upon changing it, I realized that my crankshaft pulley had chunks of rubber that had come off of it, and it seemed to be making the belt rub on the side of the engine block on one of the tension pulley's. After researching online, I found that in 2011, toyota had recalled 402,000 vehicles because of a faulty crankshaft pulley, that caused power steering to go out, and cause accidents. However, in calling toyota, they state there are no open recalls on 2005 toyota camry's, even though the website that I found included 2005 toyota camry's in their recall list. Even now with a new belt on, the belt is jumping back and forth on the tension pulley causing the car to have a "jittery" feel while idling. I feel it is only a matter of time before this belt is ruined as well. I'm not sure how certain models of toyota camry's in 2005 would've had a different crankshaft pulley, that happens to be doing the same thing that mine is doing now (rubber seperating from the metal), yet they were recalled and mine was not.

I was driving on a city street at about 35mph when rough, somewhat grinding noises came from under the right side of the car hood of the 2005 toyota camry. These noises continued for about 15 minutes while I was driving. I stopped at a red light. When I had the right-of-way and attempted to proceed, I found I could not turn the steering wheel. I thought the car was inoperable but when I exerted great effort, the wheel did turn. Fortunately, I was able to turn a corner and move into a public parking lot. Again with great steering difficulty and noise from below the car hood, I drove the car about a quarter of a mile to my home and the car was towed to a service center. *tr updated 4/14/16

A consistent grinding/knocking/clunking sound started coming from the steering wheel while steering at low speeds (0-30 MPH). Also, the steering wheel felt looser than normal at all speeds (0-65mph). The service adviser at the dealership informed me that this was a common issue with a 2005 toyota camry, and that the intermediate steering shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, since the vehicle was out of warranty, I had to cover the ~$660 cost. A google search reveals several similar issues with other late model camrys. Toyota has a tsb t-sb-0296-08 to "grease" the steering shaft for the noise. However, both the dealership, as well as a google search revealed that the grease fix would be temporary, and does not last. The dealership also informed me that the newer replacement steering shafts are better designed, are completely sealed, and cannot be greased. Since a tsb is out, it looks like toyota is aware of this safety issue. However, no recall has been made.

I have been an extremely safe driver for 21 years. Two incidents of unintended acceleration occurred within one hour yesterday afternoon with my 2005 camry 2005 le. Until this time, the car behaved and drove perfectly for 6 years. *tr it was a dry and hot (93f) day, and the road condition was perfect in both cases. The first time was during a 30-MPH cruising along a side street when the car suddenly accelerated by itself and jerked toward one side. I immediately corrected the problem by braking and steering. The second time was at a stop sign on a side street. I was waiting for the other car to pass before I could turn left when the car suddenly tried to accelerated by itself even though my foot was firmly pressing the brake. During this brief struggle between me and the car, the engine made some low, grinding noise, and the car was able to move forward twice, about 6 inches each time, despite my hard foot braking. No accident was resulted in either case. I reported these two incidents to toyota customer care immediately and was directed to a local toyota dealership for investigation. The car is currently being examined by a local dealer for potential causes. I am afraid to drive this car if the defect is not repaired.

Toyota camry 2005 lx. Brake failure occurs when braking on slightly uneven surface while depressing brakes on a small bump or pothole. The brakes make a grinding noise and do not work for a few seconds. After the surface is even the brakes work fine. This is not simply the ABS. For safety reason I must use emergency 'hand brake' to prevent major accidents while on uneven surfaces. I have managed to avoid accidents by using the handbrake or braking way ahead of time when I see an uneven spot in front of me. Have accidents have been reported with this problem on other same model year cars? For me this occurs regularly while on uneven surfaces since I purchased the car. Has there been a recall by toyota regarding the issue I described?

I own a 2005 toyota camry and every time I brake on ice or snow my brakes make a loud grinding and vibrating noise. I reported the concern to the dealership several times and they continue to say it's normal ABS working like they should. I have never had a car that has ever made this type of grinding sound when braking in the snow. We also own a corolla and it doesn't make this sound.

Own a 2005 toyota camry xle v6. Transmission hesitation, heated seats work occasionally, most power windows don't operate properly, and lots of squeaks and rattles. Vehicle only has 25,000 miles, very well maintained. Dealer says that all problems are normal. I bought a toyota because they were supposed to be the best. This was the first import car for me, and will be the last. I will be returning to ford. I never had any problems like this on my taurus with 200,000 miles.
