I bought a certified 2005 toyota camry xle from autowest honda, roseville. I was told that the car had no accidents and the car is clean per the carfax. I have had the front passenger seat belt replaced and now the driver front seat belt is going out. I received a post card for a free appraisal at 60,000 miles and I took my car into the toyota dealership and they told me the car has been in an accident prior to me purchasing the vehicle. The front end frame is bent and parts have been replaced and the car is maybe worth $8,000 and the car should of been sold as salvage and not certified car. The front bumper is coming off and also the paint chipped off on the side of the accident. The paint is different in the front from the hood. I do not know the date of the incident date, as for it happened prior to me purchasing the car.

We owned a 2005 toyota camry. My husband was the driver and was involved in a serious accident when he was cut off while entering a state highway in baltimore, maryland. My 5 year old son was in the back seat behind the passenger seat in a booster seat with his seat belt on. During the impact, my son was unrestrained due to a failure of the seat belt. The seat belt never caught in the retracting mechanism allowing my son to be thrown forward into the passenger seat. My son had a massive head trauma and was air-lifted to johns hopkins. He was released the next morning with a serious concussion. The other passengers had very minor injuries.

1 - seat belt - gets stuck , causing it to be inoperable and floppy. The plastic guide allows the webbing belt to get stuck in it. 2 - I cannot buy replace the belt , an important , common , inexpensive item , from anyone, but the dealer $200 + $100 labor. I can purchase lap belt for $15, but that is not good enough and does not fix the problem. Good design for the manufacturer , cheap because rightwas same as left , but poor design for me as it casused belt to be worn and get stuck . Car was 2005, but has 65000 so no more warranty . -maybe there should be for all car makers , extended warranty for certain items that wear out over time , safety items like seat belts , that wear out over time , 36 months 3 years , mostly due to poor design .
I was driving at 15 MPH when the vehicle in front of me stopped suddenly, and I rear-ended it.
I have driven a toyota camry for 14 years and have never had an accident nor a traffic citation. In october 2004 we bought a new toyota camry. On april 25, 2005 I drove to a meeting at a private home on a 27 acre farm. I had two passengers in the car. When backing up very slowly to turn the car around I had a sudden unexpected speed surge. Brakes did not work. I glanced off one car damaging the back bumper and putting a crease in the side, then hit a pickup truck square on its bumper knocking off the licence plate. Since there were people, cars and buildings behind me, I managed to get it out of reverse but then it surged forward (no brakes) went about 150 ft and I had to turn off the key in an attempt to slow the car down. This was on a long gravel driveway and the car was out of control. It coasted about 90 ft, went through a wire fence, hit a fence post, a roof support, and hit a 800 lb baler which moved 5 ft into a large farm sprayer. Three people witnessed what happened and heard the car when it surged backward. The rear seat belt snapped open on impact. One of the passengers was injured, one had bruises.
