I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my…

The flexplate shredded from the mounting to the engine and torque converter clutch. The problem was noticed while it was at the toyota service garage. It all fell apart as they were dismantling it. This would have caused a serious accident if i was driving down the highway causing the power train to seize up and discharge flying metal.

While the vehicle is in motion it hesitates to switch gears from 2nd to 3rd gear. As you accelerate. At times there is a jerk as it is doing so. This causes me to either slow down or speed up until it goes into gear.

I was driving home from work, and as i was coming to a stop i heard a warning ding, looked down, and my dashboard read "low engine oil pressure." i found that warning odd considering i have only put 2,000 miles on my car since my last oil change, i have not noticed any oil leaks in my parking spot or under my car, and i had my transmission serviced four weeks ago and there was no mention of any leaks by the service…

Noticed my car had a knocking sound took it in to my mechanic to see what the problem was. I'm very particular about my car. The mechanic called to inform me the oil levels were extremely low, while he noticed it was close to needing an oil change but the levels shouldn't have been that low. His observation was my car is burning oil too fast. He called the dealership to question if there was an recall of such and…

The car just skidded and hit the van with big force. Luckily the vehicle in front of me is a…

The oil light on my 2007 toyota camry comes on before the required oil change is due. When i take it to the dealership, they say it is low on oil & it is normal to burn about a quart of oil for every 700 - 1000 miles & i need to check it between oil changes and probably add additional oil. There is not an oil leak and several other 2007 camry owners have reported the same issue and response. Additionally, i own a…
