While driving on highway the vehicle suddenly lost steering with no ability for the driver to control direction of the car. Car departed from its lane and then crossed two lanes involuntarily but lanes were free of traffic so an accident was avoided. At the same time the car shook and vibrated. The driver immediately braked and the brakes did reduce the speed of the car. The ability to steer was recovered after approximately 1 minute. The car was towed to a service station. A review of the computer data (trouble codes) indicated a failure of the ABS actuator and steering angle sensor. Maurice at the toyota customer experience center aid the toyota company will not take any responsibility for the failure and he also said that, "no assistance would be given" as the car was out of warranty.we have a case number filed with toyota. Toyota says this hazardous and terrifying incident is not the result of a design flaw or a manufacturing defect. We have lost confidence in the safety of this toyota vehicle.
2010 Toyota Camry brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I'm not sure exactly when the problems with unexpected acceleration began with this car, but they are fairly recent. All occurred when the car was stopped or moving very slowly. I do not have very good recollections of the earliest of these occurrences, but I can remember the last three clearly. The first of these was in march 2015. I was driving in an area where the speed limit was 35 MPH and had stopped for a traffic signal. I remember clearly that I had my foot solidly on the brake pedal; I had been making a special point of that as a result of the earlier occurrences. I felt the engine speed up, but the car did not move. The second occasion was on march 29th when I was driving in a residential area and had stopped at a four-way stop. I was waiting for a pedestrian (walking a dog) who was crossing the road on the opposite side from where I was stopped. I do not have a firm recollection of exactly where my right foot was positioned, but it certainly was not on the accelerator. Suddenly the car accelerated, heading toward the pedestrian. I was able to avoid hitting her by making a sharp right turn into the cross street and then bringing the car to a stop. The third occasion was on april 5th. In attempting to park the car in a lot near a grocery store, I turned the car into an empty parking space. I was pressing the brake pedal gently to bring the car to a stop at the curb on a median strip that separated my parking area from a similar one on the other side of the median. The car was just a few feet from where it should have stopped when it suddenly accelerated, jumped over the curb, and crossed the median, striking an unoccupied car parked on the other side. I was able to stop my car only after the crash caused some minor damage to the front bumpers of both cars.

On sunday, may 18, 2014, I started my 2010 toyota camry and my check engine and vehicle stability control lights were on. I had no previous issues with the car. I called the local dealership on monday morning to make an appointment, the first one I could get was just over a week away. I questioned the dealership if my car was safe to drive and they said yes, as long as the vsc light wasn't blinking. My car was checked by the dealership on may 27. I was told my brake actuator had gone out and the repairs were around $2,400 before taxes. The check engine light was from a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced, another $500+. The parts had to be ordered and it was may 30 when my car was ready. When questioning the dealership about why my brake actuator had gone out, they assured me that it was nothing I had done and they said they've had problems with others going out. After searching online I found that other models by toyota have had recalls for the brake actuator. If the company is having problems with the same piece of equipment in other models, the recall should be expanded. Mine was not included in the recall, but it was faulty and failed. After searching, I also found there have been various issues with the charcoal canister as well in various models by the company. Perhaps research should be done on this issue also. My car is 4 years old and when I took it to the shop it had 54,259 miles. I called toyota and they reiterated that my vehicle was not included in any recalls; therefore, at this point toyota could do nothing about the repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the steering wheel became extremely rough and abnormal force had to be used to turn the steering wheel in any direction. The vehicle also had an intermittent acceleration and brake failure that continued to occur each time that the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The contact was later driving and applied the brakes while approaching a traffic stop. The vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the ankle and back, which required medical attention. A police report was filed of the incident. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
Cpsc: i1440194a. 2010 toyota camry. Consumer stated at 23,000 miles the brake rotors warped causing the steering wheel to shake violently. *ln the consumer stated 8000 miles later, the rotors warped again. Toyota offered a partial credit to replace the rotors, with the same type as a goodwill gesture.
The brake rotors warped at 23000 miles causing the steering wheel to shake violently. The dealer said that the rotors were not covered by the manufacturers warranty and I paid to have them resurfaced. 8000 miles later the rotors warped again with the resulting severe steering wheel shaking. This could result in the loss of control and accidents.checking on the internet I discovered that this is a common problem with toyota products and I believe the rotors are substandard and a safety hazard. Toyota should recall all affected vehicles and replace the rotors with quality ones and upgrade the rotors in all cars built from this time on.
My car was consuming oil. After each oil change for the past year the oil in my engine would disappear. I took the car back three times complaining about the oil disappearing. Each time, they would top it off with oil and tell me to drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back. Finally, they told me that I would have to leave my car and an inspector would come out from toyota to make a determination if my engine could be repaired or if it would have to be replaced. The decision was made to replace the engine. Toyota told me that if my car had not been certified, the cost would be mine. They paid for it. This marked the third major repair on a 2010 camry after driving it for 40,000. The rear brakes were sticking and the bearings in the front wheels had to be replaced prior to the engine blowing out. Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous.
Braking was hard to stop vehicle.
I purchased this car from team toyota/auto nation mar. 14, 2013. It had 38940 miles. On nov. 9, 2013, I rear ended a car that had stop on the freeway. I attempt to stop, and my brakes did not work. I always had to brake down to get my car to stop, and thinking now my brakes did not work properly. My seatbelt never locked me in and my air bag did not deploy. I suffer a broken nose, 7 stitches and bruise my head hit the steering wheel.I was told by a mechanic that if a person take their car to a mechanic and pay cash for their damage you will never know its been wreck before. Go to my youtube, because I did not died or paralyzed, and my blog. [xxx]. No attorney will help me cause I did not died or paralyzed.

I was driving on the highway going about 60. My check engine light was on but I was told by toyota that I can still drive car as long as it is not blinking. My service appointment was for next day thursday the 12th. While on highway car lost all power started to slow down and lights started blinking. A huge truck was behind me and was beeping to avoid hitting me. I managed to pull car to side if highway and car shut off by itself. I waited 5 min and the car stated and I managed to get home. The car when driven does not brake well, it feels like car has a mind of its own. The brakes do not brake well and the car jumps. You cannot control. I am bringing to toyota today to get the results.
I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times. I believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems. I also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others. Brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist. They blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee. I changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist. I heard nothing for a week and I had to call them on again on monday (today). The service managers said there is nothing wrong. I just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend. I knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something. I also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend. The second dealer already knew about the issues before I got there. The service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires. The specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me. I also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and I could not have the info.
Outside left rear brake pad worn out. All other pads front and rear still had 65% of life left in them. Dealer said that they replace a bracket for the caliper but would cost me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the rear passenger side brake wore out at a low mileage. While driving 45 MPH, the contact heard a squeaking sound coming from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where the dealer stated that the brake pad suffered from corrosion due to heavy salt use on the roads. The brake pads and rotors were all replaced. After the repairs were made, the same failure occurred on the rear drivers side brake pad. The brake pad on the rear driver's side was then replaced. The failure mileage was 28,130. The VIN was unavailable.
I owned 2010 camry le and when it reached approx. 30,000 miles warranty the front brake started vibrating and I felt l like the wheel was going to come off when I stepped on the brakes from high speed and going downhill. I'm not a professional mechanic but I knew it was a warp brake rotor. I had the rotor turned and that's all it takes.I think it is very premature for a brake rotor to fail at 30,000 miles and most especially for a camry. I was bit surprise when the dealer told me that my brake was no longer covered under warranty due to my mileage. All along I thought that it was 36mos/36000 miles bumper to bumper warranty but I was wrong, so no more toyota next time and not recommending toyota to family members and friends.
Tl*the contact owned a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH she applied the brakes but the vehicle would not stop until it crashed into a tree.

1. The car had a failure in the brake system according to: the repair shop, the insurance adjustor and toyota independent inspection. Basically a bolt that secures the hose to the caliper was loose which caused the oil to leak and the brakes to fail. It is important to note that there was no negligence of maintaining the car since the car is new - only about 4,000 miles -and serviced only at the dealer according to service schedule.
I work in the maintenance department at curtis-maruyasu in lebanon,ky. We make fuel and brake lines for toyota. When the toyota plant in indiana(subaru plant) complained of brake lines leaking, our boss told us to deny knowing about any problem if asked by toyota representatives that would visit to investigate, even though we knew of problems for several months prior to being informed by toyota about problems with 2 benders that shape the brake lines. There have also been follow up visits because the problem was not resolved. I am just now reporting this because I do not want to lose my job, but my conscience tells me that I need to report this. I hope this is the right place to do it.
I have a 2010 toyota camry that when you put it in drive and hit about 10 miles an hour there is a clunk. I have taken it to the local dealership multiple times and am being told that it is the ABS actuator and that there is no fix to it at this time and I was just going to have to live with it.
My toyota camry failed to stop at an intersection when brakes were applied. Did not experience this problem before this particular incident. The car has been at the dealer ship. The dealership says, there is nothing wrong with the braking system.
Tl* the contact rented a 2010 toyota camry hybrid. The contact stated that when he would rapidly switch between accelerating and braking, he would often depress both pedals simultaneously causing unintended acceleration. The contact stated that the pedals were manufactured entirely too close together. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was not available. The current and failure mileage was not available. Updated 11/19/10.*lj updated 12/01/10.
On 07/13/10 has an accident in a 2010 camry. Was coasting into parking space infront of hess gas station and car suddenly accelerated without pressing on the gas. All I could do was press on the brake as hard as I could car would not stop? Fhp responded and no traffic ticket was issued. Contact insurance they transport car to repair shop car did not sustain damage where car was not drivable. I refuse to drive car and very affraid to drive it. Went to dealership they want to conduct an investigation. How do I know whether or not their investigation is impartial and true. If there where an true problem with the engine or the accelerator would they actually admit it?
2010 toyota camry. Consumer requests assistance with a reconsideration of interest rate and repair issue with vehicle *tgw the consumer stated she took the vehicle to the dealer due to a noise that was occurring right after she started the vehicle and put it in drive. The noise existed from the time she purchased the vehicle. The explanation she received was that all camry's made that noise as it came from the braking system engaging. The consumer requested to ride in another camry to compare the sounds as her vehicle was very loud. The service manager was unable to locate the same braking system on the lot. The service manager then stated he would open a technical assistance system case and when a specialist was in the area, they would have him inspect the vehicle. The manager contacted the consumer and informed her, the specialist would not be inspecting the vehicle as they had received several complaints and they determined the problem to be the ABS actuator, but there was no fix at the moment.
My 2010 camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge I'm experiencing. I contacted toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" I think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the RPM dial when I go to stop. He saw the RPM dial move up to almost 2000 when I hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 camry and it did the same thing. I had a 98 avalon and a 03 camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older toyota's. He assured me that my car is safe and I have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here I'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think I'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because I love my new car...I'm just really nervous driving it.
Ltr fwd (ny) owner of a 2010 toyota camry that has been service for multiple defects since purchased including braking system and gas pedal recall, reply to massapequa, ny ofc. *tgw the back seat foam was defective and had to be replaced, the passenger exterior mirror was loose, the brakes had to be pumped so they wouldn't feel mushy, the steering was loose and the dashboard lights would dim while driving and when applying the brake. The consumer contacted the dealer and informed them the lights were not working. They stated it sounded as though it was an electrical problem and she would have to leave the vehicle. The consumer also stated when she applied the brake, the vehicle would lunge forward.
Purchased 2010 toyota camry in 12/10/09. Car/tire was wobbling, felt that alignment was out. I took vehicle to dealer on 12/21/09. I was told that one of the tires was off. Dealer service just rebalanced rear passenger tire and inflated well beyond required psi's. Car continued to wobble, and drive with a distortion in ride and have to hold steering wheel to the left to keep the car straight. Went back for service on 1/23/10. Again, service admitted radial pull. They rebalance the wheels, and realigned the car and that didn't correct the problem. Dealer put 4 new tires and realigned. Problem continued. Car is not sitting on the frame properly but service will not admit it. Took car to service again on 2/13/10. Again a 4 wheel alignment was performed and didn't fix the problem. Took to service again 3/8/10 complained that car isn't driving properly, I have to hold my steering wheel a certain way to keep the car driving straight. Went for a test drive due to the distortion, wobbling of car and was told that toyota tires roll from left to right. Incredible! The car accelerates when coming to a stop and steering wheel is turned to the left to go straight. One side of the car is higher than the other. When I asked what was done to the car, I was told that they made some adjustments and was dismissed. People driving behind me flash their lights at me and I've been stopped and told that my car is crooked . I can feel it and see the same thing. Service inflated my tires to over 42psi's. That's too much air. This car is still drifting to the right or left depending upon which way the tires are moving from "left to right", in which I was told this is a toyota thing. Insulting! I feel this was done in order to mask whatever the real problem is. I traded a 2004 camry that had the same issues. I had over 30 alignments, 4 brake jobs, a steering shaft replaced and 4 sets of tires in 4 yrs. I have documentation on that car. This car is doing the same thing. Feel unsafe.
We bought our 2010 toyota camry on 12/31/2010 unaware of the recall that was about to hit. When we started hearing about the recalls, we got on the toyota web site. Our vehicle that we purchased 2 weeks prior was now on a recall list. When we contacted our local dealer, they said to do nothing, toyota was sending out a letter the following week with all recall cars listed and when to bring them in. We never received a letter from the company nor the local dealership. When calling to demand this issue be fixed on monday 3/8/2010, they took my name and number, said someone would call me back, and never did. My car has depreciated, I can't even get out from under it and am scared to death to drive it. I am appalled at the lack of response or concern from this company. I want out of this contract !!!
