1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2023

The car randomly slams on the brakes even when you aren’t near anything. Yes it’s available for inspection. The safety problem is you could be rear ended at any time when this occurs. My husband was driving on the freeway at high speeds when it happened one time. The other incidents happened to me thankfully at a slower speed but while moving on the road. Also while pulling out or into parking spots. I know it is a safety feature so you don’t hit things but I know how to drive and when I can back up safely without it slamming the brakes on. It has not been inspected and there were no warning lights indicating something was wrong.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2023

Vehicle stalls at higher speeds on the freeway this problem happened 1 time on 7/22/23, 1 time on 7/23/23, and 5 times between 7/29/23 and 7/31/23 when traveling between las vegas and los angeles. Symptoms (this repeats every time) 1. High speed (freeway speeds) car stalls, loses power and begins slowing. This is very dangerous in heavy traffic and could have very easily caused an accident! 2. Pumping the gas pedal brings the engine power back within 3-10 seconds and the car picks up speed again. 3. The mil check engine comes on and the instrument panel rotates through malfunction alerts from ics, lda, parking brake, secondary collision brake system, etc. And continues cycling through the alerts until the engine is turned off. 4. When restarting right away, the malfunction alerts and mil remain. 5. After the car has been off for at least 30 minutes, sometimes the warnings and mil reset. The dealer gave an appointment to have the car checked 3 days in the future. This Camry was not on the recall lists for failing fuel pump even though it matches for manufacturing date.

4 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2023

This afternoon we had 3 safety incidents in a row as we were driving from austin to san antonio. Our Camry suddenly lost power while we were on the highway, driving 70 miles an hour, when multiple warning lights came up and the car information screen said "secondary collision brake system malfunction, visit your dealer" when this occurred the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. We had to pull over and find a safe spot to park. Doing so was dangerous because the car was barely moving forward. For the first incident, we turned the car off and we let it sit for 5 minutes. When we turned the car back on, the error code disappeared. About 25 minutes later the same thing happened at highway speed. We parked, turned the car off, disconnected the battery and waited 5 minutes, on restarting the error code disappeared. After another 25 minutes on I-35 the car did it again. These were scary and dangerous events on the highway. We were fortunate to be able to pull over each time this happened. We were afraid and did not understood why. After the third incident, we were able to drive 1 hour without the malfunction reoccurring. In our internet research this seems to be a wide spread problem of modern Toyota. Please for the safety of the american driving public, please investigate this widespread problem.

6 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2022

While traveling at interstate speeds (about 68 mph) a vehicle in front of me (about 6 car lengths ahead) hit a pickup truck. I hit the brakes and then my car's auto braking system was activated (displaying on the dashboard) but it did not feel like my car was slowing down. I then proceeded to push the break all the way to the floorboard and my car did not slow down causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me. It felt like the auto-breaking system was preventing me from applying full braking power. When I pushed the break petal to the floor it felt like I was pushing on air. There was no resistance on the petal as there normally would be. There were no skid marks on the road and after the impact, my vehicle would not move. I had to put the car in park and then back into drive to move off the road.

7 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2022

There's a malfunction on pre-collison system and srs airbag system. Third-party licence softwares access to iot sensors and vehicle data collection without the owner's informed consent.

8 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2021

On 10/29/2021 my daughter was a passenger in her car and was involved in a rear end collision @ approximately 65-70 mph upon collision with a Toyota rav4. The air bags did not deploy, the seat belt allowed her forward with her breast catching most of the impact, and the front camera system that should have detected the stopped rav 4 did not alert. We had no error codes nor lights on this car prior and were not aware of any potential recalls. This is a complete failure of a car and safety systems that should have protected her. The entire reason this car was bought was to protect her and it completely and utterly failed. She is now in the er with a broken sternum and currently being evaluated to see if any other vessel damage. We bought this car with the utmost in trust for the safety platform of Toyota as she is a double organ transplant recipient and at this time I am unsure if her transplanted kidney has been injured. The recall needs to immediately be expanded and we should have known prior that this car had a potential issue and complete failure of all the front end collision safety systems! how is it that the air bags completely failed to deploy? even the virginia state trooper on scene commented that he could not see why they had not deployed. I will follow up with more information and pictures as I obtain them after I make sure my daughter, her kidney graft and her boyfriend are ok. I am attaching pictures of the car and of the car that was hit. At this time I only have the exterior pictures but will get the state police report and also will try to get interior pictures of the car.

9 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2021

1st time this happened I turned car on around 4am after work and numerous alerts came on (lda,check engine light,pre-collision system,parking brake malfunction,secondary collision brake system). I kept turning car on and off but still alerts light up and not allow me to drive due to brakes on. Had to disconnect battery then connect and alerts were gone. 2nd time I was driving and all sensor lights came up again. Locked up my brakes and luckily no cars near by that could have hit me. Took video of the issues when happened. Also on my screen the messages appear of what was malfunctioning. I am scheduling appointment for issue to be checked. But have had other people state same issue happened to them and decided to report issue. Will see if dealer finds issue, even though others people with same issues have not got a resolved issue from dealers. 1st incident was on 10/22/21 and 2nd incident was on 10/26/21.
