| Description of the problem | The us federal trade commission has determined in its 2006 & 2007 reports that the toyota camry was the highest listed vehicle to be arbitrated. The failure i encountered was that the vehicle failed to move or react when you applied the gas pedal, this is due to a serious gap in response time due to the toyota "drive by wire" process, software flash updates per the tsb-ecm are not solving the problem, which led to my accident, this problem may have the potential for causing serious injury or death as a result of not being able to accelerate out of harms way. I encourage toyota camry owners to return their vehicles per their states respective lemon laws or the federal magnuson-moss act. 2006 toyota has the highest complaint rating, 286 complaints, totaling 83. 9% of the complaints. Toyota has the top 3 spots for complaints on their vehicles the toyota camry was the most complained about vehicle from everyone in all groups 42 complaints, totaling 12. 3% of all complaints. 2007 again toyota took 85 complaints, totaling 84. 2% the top 3 vehicles were from toyota, the camry again is in place number 3 12 total complaints, totaling 11. 9%, the highest now 2 years in a row. The reports were obtained from http://www. Ncdsusa. Org. |
