problem #3

Camry 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 355 miles
Cruise control does not deactivate after turning off and on again. This occurs if nothing else is done to deactivate it (e.g. pressing brake). Then, when you turn it back on, it sets to a different speed. To reproduce: Set cruise control at 60 mph. Then, set to 65 mph. Then, turn off (by pressing button on end of wheel mounted lever switch, not using brake or anything else). Then, turn back on (again, by pressing button on end of wheel mounted lever). Notice, it is set at 60 mph or something other than last setting and vehicle tries to cruise at that speed, but should not be set to any speed.

The cruise control took off and accelerated on its own. Went two yards and hit a telephone pole. Upon impact, the air bags did deploy. Contacted Toyota, there were supposed to call back, come and look at vehicle.. this happened on August 12, 2005. The consumer did not want to give phone number.

2005 Toyota Camry xle, cruise control does not hold vehicle back. This is not a problem on level ground or up hill. If the vehicle is going down hill, the cruise control will not stay, causing the vehicle to accelerate at a faster speed than is safe under the circumstances. After the consumer purchased the vehicle, the dealer and the manufacturer told consumer that was the way the vehicle performed. Consumer considers this is a safety issue, and it is not acceptable, consumer filed a complaint # 20050706 on July 6, 2005 with Toyota. There are no other known problems with this vehicle and it is still under warranty.
