HELLO, I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID AND I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE MY DRIVER DOOR OPENED ON IT'S OWN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND MY KNEE WAS RESTING ON THE DRIVER DOOR (NOT PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE DOOR) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT POPPED OPENED. I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I SHUT THE DOOR COMPLETELY BEFORE I DRIVE OFF AND IT AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE DOORS BY ITSELF. MY KNEE WAS NO WHERE NEAR THE DOOR HANDLE AND THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS DONE THIS TO ME AND I'VE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS, BUT I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE ROAD WAS QUITE BUMPY AND I FEEL THAT CAUSED THE LATCH TO OPEN. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPEN TO ME IN THE FRONT SEAT, WHO IS TO SAY THIS CAN'T HAPPEN IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE SMALL CHILDREN OFTEN RIDE. THIS MAY NEVER HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN OR IT COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN TOMORROW, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE JUST IN CASE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH A KEY THAT WILL NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK CAN STILL OPEN WITH THE AUTOMATIC KEY PAD. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT IF THE TRUNK IS LOCKED WITH A KEY, IT SHOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO OPEN WITH A KEY AND NOT THE KEY PAD. THE DEALER OFFERED TO UNHOOK THE KEY PAD FEATURE, HOWEVER, NO REPAIR WAS MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

I BOUGHT 2007 CAMRY LE AT POWAY TOYOTA LAST 7-25-06. ABOUT 2ND WEEK OF AUGUST I PULLED THE LATCH HOOD OPENER INSIDE MY CAR TO CHECK MY ENGINE AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE HANDLE THAT WAS HOLDING THE WIRE BROKE. NOW, EVERYTIME I HAVE TO OPEN MY HOOD I HAVE TO PULL THE WIRE BECAUSE THE PLASTIC THAT WAS HOLDING THE WIRE BROKE OFF. I OWNED A HONDA CIVIC FOR 11 YRS AND MY HOOD OPENER NEVER BREAKS. I HAVE NOT YET REPORT THIS INCIDENT AT POWAY TOYOTA BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INCIDENT AT THAT TIME WHEN I SERVICED MY CAR FOR TEFLON AND SCOTCH GUARD AND WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK THEY SCRAPE THE BOTTOM FRONT PANEL OF MY CAR AND FOR MY INCONVENIENCE I HAVE TO BRING IT THERE TO HAVE THEM FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. I WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL AT THEIR SERVICE AFTER WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MY BRAND NEW CAR WHICH I JUST BOUGHT LAST 7-25 AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I WOULD FIND A DEFECT TO MY CAR. *NM
