This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

This is not a takama recall complain. It is regarding my car that has been id' that it is 2000 year make car, the local dmv did made an inspection and conclusion was that is it 2000 - due to some stickers everywhere - on the door, on the hood of the car and other places.
The driver's side front wheel of our 2001 Toyota Camry suddenly came off from the axel while traveling at highway speed (around 65 mph). This happened on the interstate 78 highway in pa. This lead to car sinking to the left and hitting the guard rail, then spnning across the highway, hitting the other guard rail. The car was totaled. People were injured, one person at the back seat had head injury, one has had chronic neck problems since then, others keep having neck troubles off and on. The wheel jumped the median and flew off to the otherside of the highway. The coming off of the wheel was sudden, giving no time to the driver to do anything to control the vehicle. The car only had roughly 55,000 miles on it and we had gotten an oil change and multipoint inspection service on the car about 1000 miles before the accident. There was no axel related problem indicated in the service. That service was done by a Toyota dealer. The accident was reported to Toyota customer service. Thankfully there was no other vehicle around us on the highway or the wheel coming off would have had fatal results.
