Filed Feb 17, 2023 · Brakes, Electrical · WA

Had the vehicle progressively speed up at a high rate of speed was not due to the floor mats as that had been fixed along time ago on a recall before . I had to throw the car in neutral and then push the brake and power button for the vehicle to slow down safely ( happened twice ) . Both times not back to back on occasions months in between . Then one day had issues with the brakes and the vehicle not wanting to stop had the issue looked at by certified mechanic said my physical brakes on all sides front and back were visible sound and nothing to be causing the issue I was having . Just the other day started the vehicle as normal it warmed up went thru my day and then my radio still visible but sayin INSERT MAPS DVD ( that’s the only thing it would say or do ) then the vehicle after turning it off says CHECK VSC SYSTEM ( had certified mechanic ) come to home to inspect vehicle for issues ( car no longer showed this on dash) started as normal then next day while driving no brakes red triangle of death came up said CHECK VSC again and brakes failed and I nearly rear ended someone thank god avoided the accident car then shut off ( car restarted then triangle once more immediately shut off ) car starts high idle brakes hard to push on Mechanic says it’s a faulty issue with harness or abs pump and ECM components which may be causing the battery failure I’ve had multiple times and that the vehicle isn’t safe to drive due to this issue .

Car continues to slip and rev up during many up-shifts or when slowing down. After some time that it has warm enough it will stop doing it, but it always slips and revs up between third and fourth shift. Its been like this for few years now, but no one had showed up with a right solution.

Transmission fails after driving in reverse. Gears can be changed with the lever but transmission doesn't engage the gears. Check engine light is off and no other indicators are present.

While driving across nebraska (possibly just inside wyoming) heading to colorado on sun june 29th, on I-80 (very long, 80mph speed-limit highway), my camry with 215,000 miles suddenly gave a 'check hybrid engine' code, which caused the gas-pedal to be unresponsive. The check engine symbol also came on. The electronic 'trip information' data-graphic showed my hybrid battery was down to one pink-line suggesting low-power in the hybrid battery. I was able to pull over smoothly. Over the course of two hours waiting for a tow-truck that never arrived, I turned the vehicle on/off a few times to verify the on-board GPS for our location (all electrical systems within the vehicle still worked). At around the two hour waiting-mark, when I turned the vehicle back on, the 'check hybrid engine' alert and the check-engine symbol both disappeared, & I was able to safely drive the vehicle the additional 50+ miles to my final destination in fort collins colorado. I took it to a dealership in colorado & two codes were registered: poaof-204 - engine failed to start (?? The vehicle always 'started' so I'm not clear about this code) and p3190 - poor engine power. Even though I was able to limp the vehicle around fort collins, the hybrid battery would only get up to three charge lines (blue), which isn't even half-charged, before trickling back down to the two or even one pink-line. The vehicle is currently in-transit on a carrier truck to my home back in buffalo, ny. The vehicle's always been reliable to this point, and I have had it since approximately 23,000 miles (when I took it over from my father). I am concerned that this problem is the same problem affecting certain prius models (2011-2015) where the gas engine no longer communicates/charges the hybrid engine. The vehicle passed nys inspection with an oil change in june 2020. Thank you for your time.

I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which I did. After two months of waiting on a decision, I was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with toyotas just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet I am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called toyota, and they do not return my calls I am wondering what I can do.
