Back seatbelts will not fasten never have since I bought the car... Right side bumper is missing the screws like the ones that's on recalls for the Highlander... Almost every Toyota Camry I see has that problem and it will cause a hazard if comes off.
Camry had an unintended acceleration in a school parking lot. My wife was parking at the santa clara adult education center on benton ave, santa clara, ca. She was driving in the parking lot and made a right turn into the parking stall. As she approached the concrete stop at the end of the stall, her car went full throttle and started going forward. My wife stepped on the brakes but the car still continued going forward. It went over the concrete stop, went another 6 feet pass the stop, and went over another concrete strip. The 2 concrete stops helped slow the car down, but stepping on the brakes did not help. The car stopped about 5 feet from a building so damage was just to the front bumper and splash guard under the engine. Toyota had the vehicle inspected but they couldn't find anything wrong with the car so is not taking responsibility. …
First incident was it speeding up and going through garage door. In March, 2015 was incident with foot on brake that the car engine revved up and then surged forward into another car at a fast food drive in. Later that day coming off the interstate, it surged forward when foot on brake, slowing for stop sign at end of exit ramp. Car surged forward and I went through the stop sign and barely missed hitting 2 cars.

Approaching stop sign, applied brake and engine accelerated and lunged forward. Put car in neutral and engine slowed down. With foot still on brake put car back into drive and it accelerated again and lunged forward and hit a truck. This had happened on numerous occasions and we even took car back to dealer to have it checked out and were told nothing was wrong. The first time it happened was a week after we bought the car. I told the salesman about it and he said it was a "safety feature" and there was a sensor in the front of the car and if you got too close to another vehicle, it would make the car stop.
