I purchase in November 2006 a brand new 2007 camery xle,after doing alot of studing of different cars I went with the Camery.But with all this recent knowledge how Toyota kept this as a big hush up,I have not reall trust in Toyota,also because of this what is going on my Camery has lost alot of value .

Hey Buy American, I am a die hard Chevy owner however my last 2007 2500HD Chevy, (new body style) had the transmission (not the Allison) out of it twice before 25,000 miles. It also started doing the excact same thing when I sold it. The sheet metal was thin as a Coke can and the paint would chip off of it at the drop of a hat. The previous bodystyles I have never had problems out of it, but the last one was crap. This is why I went to Toyota, but what a slap in the face. They need to buy back these pieces of junk with sticky gas pedals. Sometimes when I take off the truck jumps off the start and almost gives you whiplash. Other than this problem, It’s a great truck, but I’ll never own another if they don’t buy this thing back. Its a 2010 Tundra that I bought Dec. 2009 and now is probably worth about 15,000 dollars at best. SCREW YOU TOYOTA for not offering to get these vehicles back on your lots and off the road before you kill or mangle someone else. I have bought another Chevy truck though so I can park this Tundra in the garage untill something is done with it because of the lack of a sense of security when putting my wife and kids in this thing.

I have a Highlander Hybrid Limited that accellerated into a snow bank and caused $900 damage. I have a Prius that has brake issues over rough roads. I want Toyota to buy back both vehicles before someone gets injured or killed.

I would like to know if my 2009 Pontiac Vibe is included in the lawsuit as it was recalled along with all of the Toyotas since they were made in the same factory? I have had it fixed for the accelerator recall, but I do not feel safe in it! I have a 40 mile round trip commute everyday and tote my 3 year old around it. I would like them to take my car back and give me my money back, at least the remainder of the loan! I have tried to trade it in but the value has depriciated by 4000 dollars since the recall!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now am upside down in this car that I am terrified to drive! Someone please let me know if I can be included in this lawsuit.

They seen me coming, Sucker!

Yes, I have Toyota problems. In 2008 I bought a brand new 2008 Tundra. By the time I owned it nine months, it had been in the shop twelve times! Six of them on a wrecker! After contacting Toyota Customer Service Lots of times and heated arguments at my dealership where I purchased the truck because they kept saying they would get all the issues fixed they just need time! I finally paid a retainer fee and obtained an attorney. I did this because the dealership told me they would win the arbutration. I was awarded or cursed with a 2009 brand new Toyota Tundra just like mine! I have owned this truck since June, it has had two computers, a very botched accelerator recall, it spits out C.D.’s just like the other truck did, it spins over while it is parked with no keys in it until the battery goes dead and then you will wonder why your truck don’t start! Sounds almost funny but that is what the 2008 did and I made a D.V.D of it! My attorney about flipped when he saw everything this truck did electrically! But of Course the Toyota Experts say there is nothing wrong with these vehicles! My 2009 has went as far electrically as not opening cylanoids in the transmission and that’s why it burned one up! I would like to trade this truck off, however, Toyota’s don’t seem to be worth much these days! Also, I went to a Dealership to trade this truck off since I am so tired of it, but when they pulled my credit report Toyota Financial reported my 2008 as a bad debt, a repo, and a charge off! The guy at the dealership said you must of really pissed someone off for them to report your credit the way they did! I did not make three payments on the 2008, because I was spending so much money on rental vehicle’s and gas to get back and forth from whatever shop it was at, plus I had to pay $784 for mileage I used on the 2008 and I missed some work due to being broke down out of town! Toyota was suppose to put those payments on the back of the note but never did, also was suppose to send me a new account number for the 2009 and never did that either! They told me they are going to repo the 2009 and that is fine! This nightmare has lasted two years and two trucks! I am not paying them over $4,000 to catch this up! They can have it! I will go to a buy here pay here lot and buy a Ford or Chevrolet with 100,000 miles that I know will run, like the 2001 Chevrolet I traded in on this Garbage!! The Government or Attorney’s need to step in and make Toyota buy this junk back, that they sold the American Public! Any attorney or Highway Safety Board that would like to reveiw what my trucks have done I have a D.V.D. would be more than glad to send you a copy, this video has none of the 2009 on it, but it does the same things!

We have an avalon 2007.this recall has me so terrified that i will not go out of town.I do alot of highway driving, and now.. i cant …do to the fear.We want a safe car .this is not safe.Was the rush for wealth worth all of this? TOYOTA!!!!!!! safty should be first & foremost.I will never have another Toyota!!!!! this car has to go.

On August 14, 2007, I was driving to work in a 1999 toyota Camry. The car excellerated and would not stop when I hit the brakes. I went into on coming traffic and had a collision with a truck. The car was totaled and by the grace of God I lived through it. As a result though I am disabled and no longer able to work. There was no compensation because they said it was my fault. I don’t think so, crying out for help.

I have a 2007 Tundra Crewmax Loaded and had the dealership make the corrections referencing the recall notice. The first thing I noticed is I now get 12 miles per gallon which is unexceptable based on what I was getting. The pedal itself is also uncomfortable as it continues to spring back quickly. Its almost if you have to re-learn how to drive the truck. I plan to take the vehicle back to confirm the recall repair was done correctly? If so, then someone needs to do something about the miles per gallon issue which I have lost.

I traded my 2006 Ford King Ranch in because it was depreciating in value faster than I could afford, over $4,000 in a year and a half. I traded my Ford in on a brand new 2008 Toyota Tundra because of their reputation for quality and high retail and trade values. I always felt a little funny about the way that my Toyota accelerated but thought that it was just me, until the recalls started. Now I own a piece of crap that I’m even more upside down in than the Ford that I got rid of. I work in the automotive industry and can’t wait for the class action suit to get my darn money back or give them their truck back. If it was not for my credit I would drive it on a Toyota dealer lot and leave it. I wish that I had my Ford back.

1/08/2010 bought a new “10 Toyota Rav4 Limited (30K), first Toyota and thought “Safety,Reliability and Resale value and traded a 2000 Hyundai Sonata, 4 days later,all the bad news in the press and the value tanked.Wife (co-owner) will not drive Rav.I emailed Toyota Customer Service only for them to foward it to South East Toyota who wants me to consult my dealer,who says that other car companies will have the same problem soon. But this does not help the value or my pocket. How do i join one of the lawsuit for the rapid depreciation???

My 2008 Tundra has smashed into a light pole and on another occasion a fence. Prior to the accidents…I took my the truck into the local Toyota dealer and reported my grave concerns…they told me, “yes, we know about the problem but we don’t have a fix…would you like a car wash”. Since the “fix” has became avaialble I have still yet to receive any help after several attempts to take it to the dealer. My family has been traumatized by this and I will not allow anyone to drive with me in the Tundra as it is unsafe. On Toyota’s email site …this is the reply they gave me:

What a joke…now I am stuck with a dented up 34 thousand dollar vehicle that I can’t drive.. however the good side the Tundra appears to be able to drive itself where it wants to go!

Completely troubled and gravely concerned,

Chris

As st ated in the remarks by Virginia, I also was in the act of parking
my 07 Camry, right foot on brake, left foot prepared to engage the parking brake, when the engine went ballistic. I saw 7000 rpm. As quick as I could, I grabbed the shift and put it into neutral and immediately into park. Glancing at the tachometer, I saw within 5-7 seconds that it was dropping. I was able to shut the car down. A previous incident, 6-7 months prior occurred again while parking at my local bank. Not as violent as the one 2/21/10. Just made a mental note of it. Car replaced.

I own a 2009 Pontiac Vibe and feel it should be added to any class action suit regarding Sudden acceleration and or loss of value related to the recall.I do not feel the recall repairs that are being done at this time will correct the problem and GM still has no fix available for the floor mat.
I would like the manufacturer to buy my vehicle back or at least be compensated for the $4,000+ loss in value since the recall was announced.

I have a Lexis IS 250 2007. I have lost value in my car and can not refinance or trade it in. I am behind on my payments due to a hardship and they will not work with me at all. They keep saying they can’t modify my loan of 12.99% because they are an indirect lender. I have tried everything to get them to work with me and now my car is in threat of being repoed. I have had problems of acceleration also where it will set itself on cruise control with out me resetting it or all of a sudden accelerate when I have my foot on the break at a stop light. I just thought my car was possessed or something but now know it is a manufacturer problem.

I have a toyota corolla s. 2009;I try to sell it but the offer is only $9000.00 dls I read in your newspaper in the Money section in a legal notice about, a CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT against TOYOTA and the name of the attorneys name ,but I losted.How could I contact the Attorneys office who is handling this case.

I was in a car accident last September, somone ran into the back of my car and totaled it out. I have never owned a Toyota but was told that they maintain a strong resale value. For that reason and the reputation of being a good car, I decided to buy a toyota last November 2009. Then early this year I found out that Toyota knew last year in September that this acceleration problem was a possibility with my car. Now I have a car I have had a few short months athat has lost considerable more value than under ordinary circumstances. To say the least I am not happy about this issue and feel I should be conpensated for the lost value of my car.

My 2009 Toyota Prius recently accelarated in a parking garage and is presently in a repar shop. I wrote to Toyota and told them that I was not going to make any further payments for a car that is a death trap and didn’t feel I could in good conscience sell that car to anyone. They were very nice and led us on to believe that they were going to do the right thing by us, however, they then sent us a letter saying they inspected the car, and there was nothing wrong with the car and that they were sorry for our trouble. The then threatened to reposses the car. We want to join a class action suit, but are unsure about how to do go about it. If anyone can help us, it would be much appreciated.

i have a 2009 toyota corolla s. per kelly blue book decision to depreciate the value of my car i feel i am entitled to be compensated.

Have a 2006 RAV 4 4×4, not on recall, but began having problems after the first year. Lurches at stop signs, runs very rough at times, took it in several times after first year was made to feel stupid as every time I was told “there is nothing wrong with your car”. Car also “clunks” loudly after first start of the day if I do not wait a minute or two while acceleration goes down. Wanted to trade it in, but found out Blue Book value down $3000.00 since Toyota recalls. This will be our first and LAST Toyota. We are stuck!!

I bought a 2010 Camry in December 2009. The vehicle currently has 15878 miles on it. I normally buy a Honda every 5 years, but this time I decided to go with Toyota. On July 9, 2010, while I was on my way home from work and traveling 65 MPH down the highway, my car started to knock very loudly. I had it towed home and towed to the dealership the next morning. I really thought things were funny when the service man at the dealership told me that it sounded like a cam gear had broke. Sure enough after tearing the engine down, I was told that the cam gear had broke. Later in the week, my husband just happened to be in the neighborhood and made an unannounced visit to the dealership. He took pictures of the cam gear with his cell phone, then asked the mechanic how the dealership knew it was the cam gear before taking the engine apart, and how many of these cam gears the dealership had already replaced. The mechanic told my husband that he himself had replaced several of these cam gears. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE ANOTHER TOYOTA RECALL COMING??????? Toyota doesn’t want to replace the engine in my car, and I am not exactly sure how much internal damage this may have done to my engine. Now I have a vehicle that 2 recalls have been repaired on, as well as a broken cam gear. Talk about serious depreciation of a vehicle that I owe 27,000.00 on. GUESS I WON’T BE BUYING ANYMORE TOYOTA PRODUCTS.

I bought my Pontiac vibe on July.18.08 . On July10.2010 as I was trying to park it accelerate ,jumped over the curb and hit the building. After more than two weeks the vehicle is still with GM under investigation . Apparently the famous carpet was the cause of the problem.
Regarding Mikes comment .He either has no Toyota or was never been involved in an accident with one of those vehicles .

The auto industry and big oil is joined at the pocket. There is absolutely no difference in what BP did in the Gulf of Mexico and what Toyota did to the American consumer. Toyota failed to conduct business is an honorable and professional manner.Both companies made a deliberate and intentional act of deception (lies), neglect and capital greed which has effected peoples lives. However, they will spend billions to protect their profits and reputations with high profile law firms, lobbyist and media moguls who gain millions from their advertisements. I am stuck with a Toyota car but I will boycott toyota and tell everyone that I know not to purchase a Toyota product. Please tell all of your friends and neighbors. These multi-national corporations have our political system in their back pocket. Maybe we owe the Japanese government too much money to complain and expect positive results. Dealerships are also strong armed by Toyota to lie to customers. Toyota is in the drivers seat when it comes to dealers who are caught between the customer and the manufacturer. Toyota has enough capital to buy all of these vehicles back and possibly retain customers. Toyota’s conduct and business practice will be their demise.

I purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid new. The kelly Blue Book value of my fully loaded car which has only 14,000 miles on it has greatly decreased. My car is paid for and I would like to purchase another car. However since my car has been recalled once. I am unable to retrieve the amount on my car that would allow me to do so. All the publicity and recalls on toyotas has also been a hindrance to me.

Why is the public not hearing anymore about these accelator issues? My mother’s 2010 Toyota Corolla sped out of control at full speed into another car on 7/16/10 causing her and the other vehicle to roll over. It was not in the newspapers, not on the news. Granted, no one was seriously injured, thankfully, at least not physically. But makes us wonder how often this is really happening and being kept quiet?

Don’t forget to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Trade Commision and your Congressmen and Senators. Election time is fast approaching and I’m sure Toyota is spending big money to lobby our elected officials.
