36 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2011

Change in gears jerky and between 20-40mph the car drags during acceleration it feel like something is trying to pull the car back. When it finally moves to the next gear it jumps into gear. I have complained to Toyota many time and as usual once taken to the dealer to check no one seems to be able to recreate the problem. I am disappointed in Toyota, I have always driven Toyota and finaly decided to buy a new car due to traveling to work long distances and gave my daughter my 1999 Camry which I like driving better than my new one. I stuck with Toyota and they have let me and many more consumers down , they know this is a problem and false advertise a smooth ride.

On 9 Dec 2010, I drove a rental car, 2011 Toyota Camry (blue) from virginia back to new jersey (NJ). The car had 3316 miles when I rent on 8 Dec 2010 in NJ. At approximately 6:35 pm edt on 9 Dec 2010, I was driving in the most left express lane at 60 mph in prince georges county in maryland. The driver from my right hand passenger side tended to pass me from the right, and that car was also very close to me. I could not even see the rear light of that vehicle. I was forced to slow down the 2011 Toyota Camry to avoid collision, but the car could not simply slow down. In order to avoid the collision, I shift part of my car to the shoulder in my left hand side. Then I discovered a car parked on the shoulder with no signals/lights. I put on brakes the 2011 Toyota Camry really hard to the floor, but the car could not slow down and could not stop completely. The brake system in the 2011 Toyota Camry was obviously failed and it was even accelerated during the last few seconds prior to the collision. The 2011 Toyota Camry was finally hit right onto back of the parked car (on the shoulder). After the severe collision at the front driver side, none of the airbags in the 2011 Toyota Camry was deployed from this sever front driver side collision. Most of all, I was not able to stop the 2011 Toyota Camry due to its braking system failure! the mileage after the collision was 3595 and the total number of miles driving during this trip was 279 miles (8-9 Dec 2010). I was hurt severely in the lower back/lumbar spine area. I was very lucky that I was survived from this severe car accident.

Failure Date: 11/20/2010

Heading east on rt. 41 and upon intering an intersection on a green ligth I slowed to allow 2 cars to pass from the oncoming east traffic before making a left turn north onto a 4 lane street. Upon accelerating to make the turn, the car hit the right curb at a high rate of speed causing me to quickly steer to the left to stop me from hitting the on coming traffic from the north. . I managed to cross two lanes but in the third lane was hit by an oncoming south bound vehicle. . My car was then stopped by the left hand curb. The other vehicle was demolished and $8,000 damage was caused to my front end. The air bags in the demolished car were deployed but mine were not. I feel as though the vehicle suddenly excelerated causing the accident so after having the car repaired and checked I could not feel safe in it so traded it off the one that I could.
