Engine Failure problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry. While driving approximately 55 mph on the highway, the vehicle accelerated on its own at a high rate of speed. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The gear was shifted into neutral as the rpms increased. The gear was shifted into park and the vehicle was turned off, but was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was engine failure due to NHTSA campaign numbers: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control) and 09v388000 (vehicle speed control). The previous owner did not have the recall repairs performed on the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to Toyota world of newton (66 hampton house rd, newton, NJ 07860, (973) 383-0200) and both recall repairs were performed. The vehicle was still at the dealer until the manufacturer determined if they would authorize the engine assembly replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and was to respond to the dealer and the owner. The approximate failure mileage was 158,000.

Catastrophic engine failure at high-speed on the highway. On June 22, 2017 at ~ 9:05 am I was traveling south on MA rte 128 in left passing lane just beyond the manchester exits. I was in the left-hand lane in a cluster of cars traveling at 65-70 mph. I was traveling ~ 70 mph passing the vehicles on the right. There were cars behind me in the left-hand lane, the closest approximately 40-50 ft behind me. Suddenly I heard a explosion under my car. Immediately clouds of a smoke-like vapor poured forth from the back of my car, followed by a loss of power and a racket from under the car. I immediately threw on my hazard lights and somehow made it to the side of rt. 128 without a collision. Luckily no one got hurt. From all that I understand about the failure, it sounds like there was no oil in my transmission, yet I had it serviced, including an oil change, at ira Toyota in danvers MA ~ 6 months ago. I had no indication of low oil prior to the incident.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry which was purchased in February 2009. He stated that a piece of metal was hanging from under the passenger's side front frame, near the passenger's side wheel. He also stated that upon starting the vehicle, the engine began idling uncontrollably and within minutes it would settle down and repeat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced the piece of metal that was hanging underneath the vehicle. The engine failure could not be duplicated; yet, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the failure again, could not be duplicated. The dealer advised the contact to file a lemon law complaint since the failure could not duplicated. No repairs were made. The failure mileage was 900 and the current mileage was 4400.
