Contact stop lamp switch in brake pedal assembly failed causing shift lever to become locked in "park" position and vehicle brake lights to become inoperative. Appears to be an identical problem to the federal safety agency campaign # 12v091000.

2009 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlights replacement issues. *smd the consumer stated the headlight lens covers faded and turned yellow.
The brake and ABS lights went on, the speedometer and odometer stopped working. I had the brakes replaced. The problem continued. I had the car diagnosed and the electrical has failed. I need to change the interior computer. Cost $2,100.
Last year on august 2012, my car stop running and I brought to one of the mechanic that towed and fixed my water pump. This year, I brought my car to toyota dealer for some recalls and find out that my antifreeze is entered to my water pump again and need to replace with new one... Total cost will be more than 650.00 dollars. I wonder if there any recall for this matter before or do I have to deal with the same problem every years!!! Please investigate this problem. Thanks
Parked car in driveway two hours later my neighbor told me my lights were on. Light switch was off could not get lights to go off. Called tow truck they could not get lights to turn off, so they pulled the fuses for the lights. Three hours later the horn started blowing,,had to disconnect to get it to stop. Took into toyota dealer where I bought it, a year ago. They said they thought it was a after market alarm system that was installed previously to my ownership. They disconnected it, three weeks later same thing started happening, except this time the high beam headlights would not turn off. Take it back to toyota and now they say it is an internal electrical problem that may cause other problems if not fixed. Around $825.

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While approaching a stop sign and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes would not engage. The vehicle continued to accelerate momentarily before decreasing speed. She has not taken the vehicle into the dealer for inspection nor had the manufacturer been contacted. She did receive an interim letter from the manufacturer advising her to remove the floor mats, stating that they could cause unintended acceleration in the vehicle. The vehicle was also hesitated when it was started on occasion and the interior lights flashed on intermittently. The failure and current mileages were approximately 19,926.
The design of the headlights on the camry is awful. You cannot see the overhead signs on the highways at night without turning on the bright lights which will blind other oncoming cars. You cannot even see the street signs without turning on the bright lights. It's like the top of the lights are cut off. The dealer said the lights are correct; they checked the aim and said that is the way they are made. This car is unsafe to drive at night.
