I was going to park my car so I was slowing heading toward the parking spot. I slowed down and tried to park my car; however, as I was stepping on the brake, my car suddenly accelarated on its own and jumped the curb. My car hit the building breaking several windows. I am convinced that this accident was a case of sudden unintended accelaration due to the malfunction of my car.

Brake, ABS, Traction control lights came on at the same time. Toyota replaced the brake light switch. The light still came on they said it is the brake actuator. The vehicle had 148-152k miles on it at the time. The brake actuator repair is really expensive and other Toyota Camry (non hybrid) have reported the same issue online forums.

brake booster brake failed to stop car and cause accident yes accident on Nov. 12, 2016

- Foothill Ranch, CA, USA

I was braking on turning into a parking spot? but instead of braking it was like I had hit the accelerator. I kept stomping the break but it would not slow down only accelerated. The car went up over the curb into a metal fence and almost hit a brick wall. I've never experienced anything like this with any car I've ever had and I've had quite a few Toyota's and a lot of them have been Camry.

I had 3 instances when the ABS light came on and another instance when the master warning light did the same. I called Toyota and they said that I didn't qualify because the light has to stay on. If I wanted it checked out I would have to pay a fee of $130 and even then it may not be covered by Toyota. These instances happened while I was driving and on one occasion the engine turned off. ABS

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

On two occasions, while driving, the engine turned off for approximately 1 or 2 minutes, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle, the brakes and the steering. Then it automatically turned back on, and I could continue driving. On both occasions I was driving at approximately 20kms per hour, and I was making a turn. On the 2nd occasion, the car went uponto the sidewalk and crashed into a tall step that proected the car from going through the display window. I took the car to the Agency in cuernavaca, Mexico and they ran a scan that indicated that the engine had in fact turned off while going 19kms per hour, but they kept the report and refused to turn it over to me. This is the only 'proof' or supporting information that I would have had.

Break booster is apparently defective and not working as described. Intermittent master warning light comes up. Because the correct failure code doesn't come up Toyota says I don't qualify for its customer support program for this known defective part. Please issue a recall so owners don't die from an accident.

As I was driving, all of the lights (oil, brake, ABS, check engine) all of it came on at the same time and made a noise and the car shut down, while I was driving. I am a college student with a commute, and thank god I was near a neighborhood to pull over immediately. I tried waiting 10 minute to restart, and it would not even start because the whole thing was dead and the lights were on. This nearly killed me.

Toyota Camry 2012 and 2013 which I have when there is an elevation and there is a signal.immediatly when you take you leg out of brake. The car immediately start rolling back soo fast. I missed hitting the car behind number of occasions by pressing gas quickly. I have showed this problum to dealer they said it is common problum. The car should not go too fast back in a small alivation which is not safe.

Defect part safety recall

- Cypress, CA, USA

Our 2012 Camry SE had approximately 66,000 miles when the brake problem occurred. I was the driving vehicle on the highway on 7/30/18 going 55 mph when I heard an whistling sound for 2-3 minutes. When I arrived at my destination 10 miles from my home I smelt a burning smell which seemed to come from the left rear wheel. When I touched the wheel it was very hot and would have burned my hand if I left it there. I drove home later and the same thing occurred. I threw some water on it and a cloud of steam arose. I called my mechanic who said it was most likely a stuck disc brake caliber and that he had seen the problem before on 2012 & 2013 Camry. The mechanic diagnosed the problem as a seized caliber piston which required the replacement of the left rear caliber, pads and rotor for over $500. My concern is that I have never had a safety problem like this occur in any vehicle never mind a fairly new Camry which passed a safety inspection at Toyota as part of an oil change on 2/20/18 when the vehicle had 63,253 miles. In my opinion there is a defect in the design or in the quality of the brake system which could lead to a brake system fire or brake failure.

December 29th at 3:00 a.M my wife and I was going to the atm in granger tx. As I approached a sharp curve I went to apply the brake to slow down and the car speeded up hit the culvert and went airborne. We came down on a boulder and somehow we managed to drive back to my brother in laws. The airbags did not go off. I have severe whiplash, I cracked my L1 and injured my side and back. My wife's head hit the side window so hard she had a concussion knots and bruises on her head. She has bruises on her right shoulder, hit her knee and leg. If we had not been wearing seat belts we would have died. If our airbags had worked we would not have been hurt as bad as we are. My wife's glasses are bent and my watch is broke. I am sending pictures to prove the airbags did not work. Not sur what the odometer reading is because I am afraid to turn the car on since there is no longer no oil or antifreeze.

ABS, brake light came

- Cooksville, MD, USA

This situation have been going on for a month. When I have sitting at a light or on idle. My trac, ABS and brake light continue to come on every other week or so. I have seen this complaint before from other Camry's owner online. When they go to the dealership, they tell them it is a sensor. But it is never resolved. Can anybody tell me what is going on with the car? I only had this car for a year. This is scary for me due to me having 2 kids.
