May 8 2022 The vehicle was parked when I took it out of park it accelerated even when I repeatedly slammed on the brakes it continued to accelerate. It caused me to hit another vehicle and almost into a house. Airbags didn't deploy either....Prior to the incident a check hybrid system was the only warning i guess the vehicle had given. Which we had a appointment to get checked tomorrow. May 9th 2022.

On December 18, 2020 a crash involving a 2014 Toyota Camry occurred. During the crash, the driver's airbag deployed. The driver died as a result of his injuries. During a post-crash inspection of the vehicle, many holes, tears, and burn-through holes were discovered in the driver's airbag that may have been caused by shrapnel.

When im doing a light acceleration from 20 to 50 mph there is a shuddering vibration from the transmission that vibrates the car. I have to come off of the accelerator pedal and press harder just to stop the shudder and vibration. My airbag light is on and stays on constantly.

I was driving during night with lights on at hiway speed and all interior and exterior lights went out while driving 70 mph in pitch black! I had to guess where I was on curved overpass. I tried flicking the hi/low beam switch, but that didn't help. Couldn't get lights to come on until stopped, shut off car and restarted it. Has happened twice since I bought it new. First time was prior to any body damage, second time it wasn't completely pitch black so not as dangerous. Another trip we were on 4 lane interstate driving through a city and someone else had hit an orange construction barrel and it had flipped up into air and we hit it at hiway speed on left front corner of car. Had to replace bumper, headlight, washer fluid tank, repair fender. Air bags never went off. I am an emt and another day was driving to a gunshot call at 80 mph and reached for pager as it was falling and front wheel dropped off shoulder and I knew not to correct it, so just kept straight and came to stop in snow filled ditch. Air bags did not deploy. I had to get it towed out, and the tow truck driver indicated that it was a difficult ditch to get it out of. Had get get it realigned and replace right front headlight, bumper, and some other plastic pieces. Third time we were T-boned at an intersection in town, would estimate less than 30 mph, and air bags did not deploy. Damage was bad enough it was not driveable anymore and insurance company totaled the car out. We bought the car back to repair it to continue driving it, but now I am thinking that was a poor decision as I wonder about the safety of it. The last accident has me very shook up and I am waiting to have surgery on my neck now because of it. I wonder if the side air bags had worked, would I need to have my neck fused.

Sirius xm radio has a radio device for cars that do not have a built in xm radio. The problem is that it comes with a 20 foot cord. It is meant to be placed on the dashboard. The cord goes through the car and is placed on top of the car. My cord got stuck in my steering wheel and snapped the clock spring. This is a very serious problem as all my capabilities were restricted. My horn, airbag and controls were not operable. This was because the clock spring got severed. It is a severe safety hazard. The vehicle was in motion.

After failing brakes a major impact happened and the airbag did not deploy
- Fernandina Beach, FL, USA
Driver airbag did not work in front end and driver side collision.

At 50000 miles there was a plastic crunching sound in the steering column. The air bag light went on. Over the next couple of weeks there was more crunching and lost the cruise control followed by the horn and radio controls. The phone function was the last to go on the steering wheel. It was diagnosed as the clock spring and because my car was not in the recall for the exact same thing as other Toyota vehicles I was told they would not fix it. This is a safety issue and my airbag and horn do not work due to a faulty part that Toyota is well aware of. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I was involved in a three vehicle accident, in which I rear-ended a car that rear-ended another. I was traveling down wilma rudolph blvd going between 45mph-50mph and those cars were at a complete stop. By the time that I stomped on brakes, it was too late. My seatbelt was on. As soon as my car made impact with the vehicle in front of me, my body slammed into the steering wheel. My arm was snatched by the seatbelt and my breast felt instant severe pain. The air did not deploy at all. The damages to my car involved the following: Driver door jammed closed, hood bent and up, and the front of my car smashed inward.

Ac condenser unit plugs and creates mold and bad smell from vents. Mold causes people with allergies to start having reactions. In addition, there is concern that the accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module. A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. This is similar to 2013 Camry model recall. NHTSA campaign number: 13V442000. I think the recall should extend to 2014 Camry model as well.

"takata inflators" November 29, 2016. Entered vehicle to move it away from curb. Started vehicle and it suddenly without warning accelerated and crashed over two retaining walls and hit a parked car, forcing that hit vehicle into another parked vehicle. Our vehicle continued onward across a parking lot at crashed into a tree. We complained to Toyota and they requested us to release the vehicle to them in order they recover the edr/vch data. We signed a consent form and they quarantined the vehicle until a private contractor could retrieve the data. This took over 10 weeks that we had no use of the vehicle. Toyota finally released the vehicle back to us. Toyota sent us an email stating they discovered nothing wrong. We had the vehicle towed back to cooks collision of davis ca. Which was a repair shop recommended by our insurance Liberty mutual insurance co. The insurance claim #PD000-034712120-01. Cooks collision inspected the damages and determined that the car was too damaged to repair and Liberty mutual opted to total the car. This car was a total wreck, however, not one airbag deployed. This is a serious safety problem.
