2010 Toyota Camry 4-DR. w/SAB

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The transmission was slipping. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the transmission filter was faulty and clogged. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The dashboard of my car is extremely sticky and is now causing a glare when I drive. This is a safety hazard due to the fact that the light from other cars/stoplights reflects off the shiny/sticky surface. This problem is very prevalent in other cars as well. I tried to get it fixed through extended warranty, but that ended in 2020. I believe that Toyota should extend this warranty as we were in a lockdown for all of 2020, and I was not able to visit a repair shop. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the failure of my dashboard, making it more dangerous as I found out when I had a glare from another car reflecting off my dashboard and temporarily blinding my view.

The dashboard is very sticky and highly reflective to the point where, at times, I cannot see through the windshield. Driving has now become dangerous and I almost went head on into a car in front of me after making a turn westbound into the setting sun. Toyota dealership was contacted and the Service department said there was a recall but it has since expired and want to charge me about $2000 to replace the manufacturer failed dashboard. I am the original owner and I never received a recall notice from Toyota or the dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle. The dash has been sticky and reflective for over 2 years now. If I cannot get this resolved with no cost replacement from Toyota, I will contact my attorney.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the plastic dashboard material had melted due to exposure to sunlight causing the material to become shiny and sticky to the touch. While driving during daylight hours, a glare was present reflecting from the dashboard that caused a visibility hazard for the driver. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 150,000.

The dashboard is sticky and there is a shiny coat which makes it hard to see out of the front window. It is also causing the window to get a hazy film on the front window. I have owned this car since driving it off the lot brand new. I realize there was a recall for the dashboard and a warranty enhancement which expired in 2019. I spoke with Toyota corporate and they will not honor the recall because the enhancement warranty expired. Having said that, I am being penalized for keeping my car in great shape, working condition. I take pride in my vehicles and for this reason the dashboard lasted longer than the warranty of 2019. The fact still remains that this is a safety hazard with regards to seeing out the front window at night because of the reflection on the shiny/sticky dash. I called my nearby Toyota Dealership and the cost to replace the dash is $2069.68 including parts and labor. Please look into this matter as its about principle and Toyota should back their warranty especially since this is a safety issue.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THUS, IT HAS BECOME SHINY AND HINDERS VIEW SIGNIFICANTLY. IN ORDER TO DRIVE. A DARK CLOTH, ETC IS PLACED ON DASH TO ELIMINATE SHINE AND RESTORE PROPER VIEWING. IN ADDITION BOTH VISORS ARE REMOVED DUE TO FLOPPING DOWNWARD. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO PREVENTION OF SUN GLARE WHILE DRIVING. THE COMBINATION OF BOTH ISSUES MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE WHICH CAUSES MUCH ANXIETY. BOTH ISSUES WERE RECALLS BUT AS THE 2ND OWNER I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A 2010 CAMRY WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2012.

DASHBOARD MELTING AND STICKY. REFLECTING IN WINDSHIELD AND DISTORTING VIEW. UNABLE TO CLEAN WITHOUT MESSING UP THE DASHBOARD. IT IS TURNING SOFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND CRASH INTO A METAL FENCE. DURING THE CRASH THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

SHINY, MELTING AND STICKY DASHBOARD. CAUSES SUNLIGHT TO REFLECT RIGHT INTO THE EYES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND IT CREATED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SUB CAUSING THEIR VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT, WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED A COURTESY SAFETY RECALL FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD FOR THEIR VEHICLE BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER DON MCGILL TOYOTA (11800 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77079) BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF STATE AND BECAUSE OF COVID CONCERNS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BACK IN STATE AND THEY WANTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE COURTESY RECALL BUT THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THEM IT WAS TOO LATE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

ROARING NOISE, DRIVING HARD, DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND GOING OUT, CODE READING P27/16 FAULTY SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT

THE SUNVISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE JUST FELL OFF AND NOW IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE FROM LIGHTS AND SUN.I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT FELL OFF THE BRACKET.

DASHBOARD IS BECOMING SEVERELY REFLECTIVE TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T DRIVE IT SAFELY. IT'S GOTTEN STICKIER AND MORE REFLECTIVE OVER TIME. DEALER REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT'S A DEFECT AND IS CHARGING ME TWO GRAND JUST FOR THE PART (LABOR IS MORE.) REFLECTIVENESS IS MUCH WORSE THAN WHAT THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS.

CAR SHAKING ON SPEED BETWEEN 40-55 MPH THIS ISSUE APPEARED PROBABLY 3 YEARS AGO MEAN 2016 TOYOTA DEALER RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION CAR WASN'T HIT 100.000 MILES WHEN I CHECKED THAT NOT NORMAL ASKING FOR ANY RECALL ABOUT TRANSMISSION THEY SAID NO PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY I HAVE 2 KIDS NOT TOO CRAZY WITH DRIVING

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE STARTED "MELTING" AND BECAME STICKY AND GOOEY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY AND COULD NOT CLEAN OFF THE STICKINESS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS ALSO A REFLECTIVE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD ALSO EMITTED A STRONG ODOR THAT WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BREATHE AND MY EYES TO BURN AND CAUSE " COUGHING. I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL REGARDING THE "MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 10-19-2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA BY MAIL, PHONE OR EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO HONOR THE WARRANTY TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD AS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THEY SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE 2017 THAT IS WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY, BUT NOT AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MAILED ME A RECALL NOTICE, WHICH THEY DID NOT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL I WOULD HAVE /REPLACEMENT TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE

MY CAMRY HAS THE STICKY DASH PROBLEM AND ON SUNNY DAYS THE GLARE MAKES IT UNSAFE AND HARD TO DRIVE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THE RECALL ENDED 11 MONTHS AGO BUT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT.

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND WILL COME OFF AND ADHERE TO ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DASH. WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN, IT PUTS OFF A GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD, EVEN WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES.

WHEN GASED, EVEN LIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. WHEN ROLLING, WITHOUT THE DRIVER ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SELF-ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2014. DUE TO THIS CONCERN, THE VEHICLE IS SELDOM DRIVEN.

SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE LOWER CASE CRANK SEAL LEAK. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA CORP. NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT OIL. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ENGINE STOPPAGE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND FEAR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $2200.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL TYPE THE DATE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BECAUSE IT IS ASKING DATE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WON'T TAKE RECENT DATES. THANK YOU.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS OBSCURING MY VISION AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION TO VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. I NOTICED THIS DURING TEST DRIVE OF THE CAR. ITS WORSE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART SINCE WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED 6/3/2019. A FULL SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED. *TR

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB (08/20/2019 12:23 PM) MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO AN UNCLEANABLE TARLIKE STICKY SUBSTANCE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT. I HAVE TO BEND SIDEWAYS TO SEE AROUND IT TO DRIVE. PLEASE EMAIL ME HOW I CAN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD. QUESTION REFERENCE # 190820-000288 DATE CREATED: 08/20/2019 12:23 PM CT ON MAY 1, 2014, MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD STARTED LOOKING GREASY AND SHINY. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAR CLEANING SOLUTIONS, WHICH AT THE TIME DID HELP. I TRIED PURE RUBBING ALCOHOL. I EVEN TRIED A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO BE WASHED AND DETAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE STICKY SOLUTION OFF AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER., WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR DATE AND TO CONTACT TOYOTA, SO ON AUGUST 20, 2019. I CONTACTED TOYOTA.COM AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR END DATE AND THAT I CAN PAY MY TOYOTA DEALER TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD MYSELF.. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE EXTENDED DATE OR ANY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY SENT THEM OUT AND IF I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THIS ON A PHONE CALL TO ME. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT THEIR RESPONSE IN WRITING. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR, SO I THINK OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

VEHICLE: 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE THE DASH BEGAN "MELTING" APPROXIMATELY A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. SUNLIGHT REFLECTING FROM THE MELTED DASH TO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSES SIGNIFICANT GLARE AND IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. TOYOTA'S POORLY ENGINEERED DASH PRESENTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY RISKS FOR TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. ATTACHED PICTURES DOCUMENT THIS ISSUE. IN ALL EXAMPLES, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. NEWS REPORTS: ABC ACTION NEWS, FEB 19, 2015: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GJXVFIPQH3W WPTV NEWS, JUL 24, 2014: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=A3QQHWKXBIC

IN STATE OF OHIO THEY ISE THIS SITE TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CAR IS GASOLINE POWER, ELECTRIC L, OR HYBRID. AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY SAY YOUR COMPANY HAS MY CAR LISTED AS HYBRID FOR A 2010. AND MY CAR IS ACTUALLY GASOLINE V6 XLE. WHAT KIND OF PROOF DO I NEED TO SHOW BESIDES PICTURES OF MY ENGINE OR A LETTER FROM A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP?

THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLS. IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL COMING FOR FUEL PUMPS ON TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES. THE RECALL IS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH OF 2020, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE 2010 CAMRY IS INCLUDED, BUT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN LATE AUGUST 2019 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM SHOPPING ON A FAST SPEED STREET I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MADE A VIBRATING NOISE, THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON RED AND WITH THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY BREAKING I WAS ABLE TO GO HOME, (ABOUT A MILE), DRIVING AT 5 MPH. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER WITH COST OF AROUND $ 2,000.00. THE CAR ONLY HAD 31,026 MILES, ALL REQUESTED SERVICES WERE DONE ON TIME OR EVEN BEFORE TIME, NO SIGN OF SPONGY PEDAL OR BREAKS RED LIGHT COMING UP FOR WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR TO BE ON A TALLWAY. LATELY I DISCOVERED EMERGENCY BREAK NOT WORKING, (NEVER CHECKED AFTER REPAIRS) WHILE CAR LEFT ON DRIVE AND PUT EMERGENCY BREAKS, CAR MOVES. CERTAINLY I WILL NOT RETURN TO DEALER WHERE I WENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DID THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE EMERGENCY BREAKS AFTER BREAKS REPAIR?AS THEY HAD FORGOTTEN OTHER THING AFTER PAST SERVICES. NEVER TOYOTA AGAIN. WHEN I TALKED TO TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTER I WAS TOLD THE DEALER GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PRICE AND THEY PARTNER WITH DEALERS. I ASKED IF THE WOULD REIMBURSE SOME SINCE THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS 10 YEAR OLD! THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE, DRIVEN WEEKLY AROUND AND ONE DAY OF THE WEEK DRIVEN AT FAST SPEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER. MY CAR IS LIKE NEW, WITH ALL THE CARE I TAKE FOR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT WASHED. I NEVER HAD IN MY LIFE SOME LIKE THIS HAPPEN, ON ANY CAR I DROVE..ON 2/09/2010 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE BREAKS MAYBE THERE WAS MORE CARS THAN THEY LISTED. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME PROBLEM LIKE MINE BUT SUCH CARS SEEMED TO HAVE LOTS OF MORE MILES THAN ME, SINCERELY, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO DASHBOARD MELTING AND WOULD LIKE THE DEFECT REPAIRED. *AS *JS

MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD THAT TOYOTA HAVE REPLACED FOR 3.4 MILLION CARS BUT THEY SAID WE WERE 14 DAYS OUT OF THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. WE NEVER HAD AN Y NOTICE FORM THEM. WE CALLED HEAD OFFICE WHO SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE OUR OWNER DETAILS SO COULD NOT SEND US ANY NOTICES. WE GAVE THEM OUR DETAILS BUT THEY SAID WE WERE STILL NOT ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED EVEN THOUGH WE WERE NEVER INFORMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE INFORMED HIM THAT, WHILE MAKING A TURN, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE OIL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF NEWNAN (770-502-1333, 2 HERRING RD, NEWNAN, GA 30265), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED OIL AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO RETURN AFTER DRIVING 1,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON WAS FAULTY AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,364. *TT

THE DASHBOARD IS SHINNY, MELTY AND VERY REFLECTIVE. IT'S BECOMING A HAZARD TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THE DASHBOARD IS REFLECTED ON THE WINDOW. TOYOTA'S DASHBOARDS SHOULD NOT MELT BECAUSE OF TIME.

THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEAL (JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA, ALEXANDRIA VA), AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO NOTIFY FOR RECALL SAFETY ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR @2,171.46 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' TOYOTA'S METHODS TO NOTIFY ARE INADEQUATE AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING - ME AND MANY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND TOYOTA'S WARRANT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY DO SUCH A POOR JOB OF CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF ROAD GLARE AT NIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN. I HOPE THE NTSB CAN PLEASE ADVANCE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEND ON 8/3/2019, MY OIL LIGHT BLINKED ON AND OFF AND IT WAS NOT TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SO I CHECKED IT THE NEXT DAY AND I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN TONIGHT 9/12/2019, I HAVE SYNTHETIC OIL AND THE LIGHT LITTERALY JUST CAME ON AT THE 5K MARK. LEAVING MY MOM THE OIL LIGHT BLINKED ON AND OFF AGAIN. TOOK TO OREILY AND I HAD NO OIL IN THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE A LEAK SO OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IS NOW BURNING OIL LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. COME ON TOYOTA, YOU GUYS NEED TO DO BETTER WITH THIS AND RECALL THE 2010'S AS WELL BEFORE I BLOW UP MY ENGINE.

SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 CAMRY HAS DEGRADED OVER TIME, BECOMING STICKY AND SHINY. IT IS NOW AFFECTING VISIBILITY DUE TO THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS IN SUNNY WEATHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN AN EARLIER RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

THE CAR'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED FROM SUN EXPOSURE, LEAVING A SHINY, GLOSSY, STICKY COATING ON IT THAT, WHEN HIT BY THE SUN AT CERTAIN ANGLES, CAUSES A BLINDING GLARE INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES AND A BRIGHT REFLECTION OF THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, RESULTING IN LIMITED VISIBILITY AND BLIND SPOTS. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSED BY MATERIALS OF INSUFFICIENT QUALITY AND ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A SECONDARY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS AND DID NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM WAS WIDESPREAD AND MATERIAL-RELATED UNTIL I RECENTLY FOUND THAT INFORMATION ONLINE. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD HAS NOW EXPIRED, BUT IN CASES LIKE MINE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH A CONDITION THAT UNNECESSARILY CAUSES A SAFETY DEFICIENCY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

DASH HAS DEVELOPED A STICKY RESIDUE FROM THE SUNS HEAT. CLEANING THE DASH IS NOT AN OPTION. IT SEEMS TO ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IT IS MELTING. ESPECIALLY, ON A HOT DAY. AS A RESULT, WHEN DRIVING, IT AFFECTING VISIBILITY DUE TO REFLECTION TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD.

MELTING TOYOTA CAMRY 2010 DASHBOARD OVERTIME WHEN EXPOSED TO THE SUN AND HEAT, TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTS AND GETS STICKY.

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY SISTER BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AND HAD THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL FOR IT FROM TOYOTA.

AT FIRST MY SUN VISOR FELL OFF ONE EVENING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BLOCK THE SUN FROM DISRUPTING MY VIEW. THEN AS TIME WENT BY, MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AND BECOMING STICKY. LIKE A GOO. THERE IS DIRT AND OTHER DEBRIS STUCK TO IT. VERY GROSS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN, WITH SO MUCH DIRT ON IT I FEEL IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MY KIDS AND MYSELF. I TALKED TO TOYOTA A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY FLAT OUT TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID, BUT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE GOO CAUSES A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE SINCE IT HAS FALLEN OFF. I AM ASKING FOR TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

BRAKE ACTUATOR: MY BRAKES WERE MAKING A CREAKING NOISE /THUMPING WHEN PRESSED...IN WHICH CASE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TIME FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. ABOUT 0430, DECEMBER 21, 2017 (MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 99SOUTH HEADED FROM FRESNO, CA TO TULARE, CA...ABOUT A 45MIN DRIVE. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE RANDOM CHIMING SOUNDS THAT DID NOT SEEM TO COME FROM ANYWHERE PARTICULAR. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUND...IT WAS JUST RANDOM SOUNDS I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THAT WENT ON PERIODICALLY FOR THE NEXT 20-30MINS. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE PROSPERITY AVE OFF-RAMP AND BEGAN TO PRESS THE BREAKS. IMMEDIATELY, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AND A STEADY, HIGH PITCH SOUND CAME ON AND I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR. I PANICKED, CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO BREAK PUSHING HARD AS I CAN. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO LEAD IT OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A POPEYES PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE OFF-RAMP WHERE IT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THANK THE LORD THAT NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM TULARE BACK TO FRESNO (TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE WOULD NOT REFUND THAT 200 BUCKS). TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE BREAK ACTUATOR, IT WAS A "WARRANTY" THAT THEY'D COVER AT NO COST. I ASKED WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED SINCE THE SITUATION IS LIFE THREATENING AND THERE WERE NO ANSWERS FOR THAT. TOYOTA HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH BECAUSE I DEMANDED THEY REPAIR EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BREAKS...QUITE HONESTLY I WAS JUST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, I DROVE IT AGAIN WITH MY ANXIETY GRADUALLY DIMINISHING...BUT BY NO MEANS GONE. I VISITED A MENTAL HEALTH DOCTOR TO HELP, ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T. 23 JULY 2019, IT WENT OUT AGAIN. WILL POST THAT EVENT ON SEPARATE ENTRY.

BREAK ACTUATOR, 2ND EVENT EVENT 1 COMPLAINT NUMBER 11234969 23 JULY 2019, DROPPED MY CAR OFF WITH TOYOTA CLOVIS SAME DEALERSHIP (JACOB WAS MY REP) BECAUSE MY BRAKES WAS MAKING THE CREAKING SOUND/THUMPING. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK MY BRAKES AND IF THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM, CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKES, THEY WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS. HE SAID THEY RECOMMEND TO CHANGE BRAKE ACTUATOR FLUID? SINCE IT WASN'T DONE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE ACTUATOR PREVIOUSLY AND HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME. I COMMENTED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BACK IN 2017 WHEN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ORIGINALLY FAILED. I ASKED IF IT WOULD AFFECT MY CAR, DRIVABILITY, ETC. AND JACOB SAID NO IT SHOULD DRIVE FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A FEW SETTLE SOUNDS. HE SAID BUT THE BRAKES ARE FIXED AND IT'S NO LONGER MAKING THE SOUND/ THUMPING. SO I DECLINED THE FLUID SERVICE. 25 JULY 2019, I WAS GOING TO GET MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL. BY THEN, IT HAD STARTED TO MAKE THE CHEAKING NOISE/THUMPING. I GOT JUST ABOUT TO HER SUMMER SCHOOL (ON FOWLER AVE) AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. I DROVE IT HOME SLOW. WE CALLED TOYOTA, SPOKE TO THE MANAGER, EXPLAINED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I JUST PAID THEM $240 FOR BRAKE PADS THAT I DIDN'T NEED. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING IN 1.5HRS WHICH LEFT NO TIME FOR TOW TRUCK. MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOLLOWED IN HIS CAR. TOYOTA (JACOB) GAVE ME A LOANER. 25 JULY 2019, THE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AGAIN BUT BECAUSE THE PART WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE (MANAGER ACTUALLY AGREED) WAS ONLY COVERED FOR A YEAR, I'D HAVE TO CONTACT CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT AT NO COST. I WILL CALL TOMORROW (26 JULY 2019)...ALTHOUGH, I DO NOT PLAN ON EVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2010, WAS DRIVEN TO DENTIST OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHILE PARKING THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED TO BRING IT TO A STANDSTILL. HOWEVER, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LEAPED FORWARD AND SMASHED AGAINST AN IMMOVABLE WALL IN FRONT. ALL THIS WHILE THE WHEEL KEPT ON SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. FRONT OF CAR IS BADLY MAULED DEPICTING THE UNCALLED FOR MOMENTUM. GLAD THAT THERE WAS A WALL AS THIS ABORTED THE FEARSOME CRAZE. DRIVER BADLY SHAKEN WITH MODERATE INJURY. NEVER EXPRIENCED THIS BEFORE.

BOTH SUN VISORS WERE DEFECTIVE. WHEN IN 2016 I WENT TO DEALERSHIP IN TINELY PARK IL, I REQUESTED THAT BOTH DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOYOTA GENERATED. SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT UNLESS SUN VISOR FALL DOWN COMPLETELY, TOYOTA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. AND DEALERSHIP REPAIRED ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE AND DENIED REPAIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TODAY, MY PASSENGER SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND SERIOUSLY OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY - CREATING VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON JULY 18TH 2019. BOTH DENIED THE CLAIM AND DENIED NECESSARY REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM ANY AUTO MANUFACTURER - SHOWING THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY OVER 5 QTS PER OIL CHANGE EVERY 5000 MILES. I'M AFRAID THIS ENGINE MAY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY AND CREATE UNSAFE SITUATION DURING REGULAR COMMUTES . I ALSO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, THIS OIL BURNING STARTED 4 YEARS AGO AT A SMALLER RATE 1 -2 QT PER OIL CHANGE NOW IT HAS DOUBLED. THERE HAS BEEN A TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2009 CAMRYS,BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO GIVE THIS WARRANTY TO 2010 CAMRY OWNERS.THEY SAY ANY ENGINE DAMAGES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS 2010 YEAR AND ANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

75,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY: FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS ON COLD MORNINGS, THE CAR WILL REVERSE AND PROCEED 100 YARDS TO THE STOP SIGN. THEN WHEN I STEP ON GAS, CAR REVS UP BUT DOESN'T MOVE. DEALER SAID NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED. QUOTED ME 7,000$. ANOTHER SHOP SAID IT WAS THE TRANS COMPUTER AND OR SOLENOID. THEY REPLACED. WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS... NOW DOES THE SAME. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. SERVICES REGULARLY.

SUN VISORS HAVE DEFECTIVE PART AND FAIL TO GO ALL THE WAY AGAINST WINDSHIELD AND EVENTUALLY THE PART BREAKS AND VISOR IS UNABLE TO BE PROPERLY PUT UP (AGAINST THE ROOF OF CAR) AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN NOT IN USE. VISOR HANGS IN FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING AND IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AHEAD AND CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TOYOTA EVIDENTLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN/ WARRANTY EXTENSION WHEREIN THEY WOULD REPAIR FOR SEVEN YEARS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE FOR 2007-2011 VEHICLES. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE. HAD THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2015, YET SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PUBLISHED AND WELL-KNOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN OBSTRUCTION TO MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN DRIVING AND HAS CREATED SOME HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WOULD A RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I DROVE TO WORK ONE DAY, PARKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT AT LUNCH, UNHOOKED THE VISOR AND TRIED TO USE IT. I WAS PROBABLY STATIONARY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MOVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED.

DASH IS STICKY AND CRUMBLING AND GETTING WORSE

MY TRUNK RELEASE IS BROKEN FROM THE FLOOR AND THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY/SHINY WHICH CAUSES GLARE FREON THE SUN

WHILE CHECKING OIL HOOD SUDDENLY CLOSED HOOD SUPPORTS FAILED. NO WARNING IT JUST SLAMMED SHUT. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AT THE TIME 0800. IT CAUGHT MY LEFT ARM AND HAND REQUIRING SIX STICHES PLUS OTHER CUTS AND BRUISES.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL.

ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND REFLECTIVE EFFECTING MY VISION, BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. UNABLE TO CLEAN.

MY CAR HAS BEEN USING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE PAST YEAR. I WANT SOME SUGGESTIONS.

BOTH FRONT HEADLAMP LENSES HAVE FILM BUILDUP INSIDE THE PROJECTOR HOUSING CAUSING HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM TO BE DULL AND NOT ENOUGH OUTPUT LUMENS. UNABLE TO CLEAN. REQUIRING REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS. DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE $1318.68. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PROBABLY A DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SAME ISSUES WITH CAMRY,

THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID HAS GONE BAD CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY EXTENSION. HOWEVER AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND/OR NO ERROR CODES PRESENT WHEN HOOKED UP TO A SCAN TOOL EVEN THOUGH THE PART IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THE SAFETY MY FAMILY'S HEALTH IS IN PERIL IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THE CAR IS EMANATING A VERY STRONG MOLD LIKE ODOR CAUSING US HEADACHES AND SORE THROATS EVEN ON TRIPS UNDER 5 MINUTES. ON REVIEWING NUMEROUS INTERNET ARTICLES ABOUT THIS, IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA MAY NOT BE SERIOUSLY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME WHAT MECHANICAL DEFECT IS IN PLAY.

WHEN RUSUMING SPEED CONTROL TO SET SPEED, IT GOES 5 TO TEN MPH OVER BEFORE GOING TO SET SPEED.

DASHBOARD STICKY AND SURFACE DETERIORATING ESPECIALLY SINCE HOUSED IN 80-90 WESTHER; CUSTOMER UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AND A GROSS DEVALUATION OF ASSET.

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY 2 QTS PER OIL CHANGE EVERY 3000 MILES. I'M AFRAID THIS ENGINE MAY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY FROM LACK OF OIL ON A LONG TRIP AND IF I DO NOT CHECK EVERY WEEK DURING REGULAR COMMUTES . I ALSO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, THIS OIL BURNING STARTED 5 YEARS AGO AT A SMALLER RATE 1/2 -1 QT PER OIL CHANGE NOW IT HAS DOUBLED. THERE HAS BEEN A TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2009 CAMRYS,BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO GIVE THIS WARRANTY TO 2010 CAMRY OWNERS.THEY SAY ANY ENGINE DAMAGES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WAS QUOTED BY THE DEALER AT $5000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. MY STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ONLY SMALL PIECES OF THE AIR BAG WERE SEEN AT THE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT TAKE A PHOTO. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME DOCUMENTATION WITH INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON MY CAR 10 DAYS EARLIER AND I BELIEVE MY TIRE PRESSURE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR WHEN I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER MOTHER WHO OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MINOR CONCUSSION AND A DEEP CONTUSION TO THE KNEE, BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A MAJOR CONCUSSION, DILATED EYES, A PARTIAL TEAR TO THE ROTATOR CUFF, AND WHIPLASH. THE PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ENGINE CONSUMES OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE ON THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS CONSUMING OIL. THEY ADVISED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES HOWEVER IT SKIPPED THIS VEHICLE YEAR. TOYOTA HAS NOT PROVIDED AN OPTION FOR REPAIR ASIDE FROM DISMANTLING THE ENGINE AND REBUILDING AT MY EXPENSE. VEHICLE REQUIRES OIL CHANGES AND/OR OIL REPLENISHMENT ALMOST EVERY 600-1200 MILES

THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT IN MY DASH DISPLAY CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. MY ALTERNATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THE ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT QUOTE FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE MY FAMILY PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IS QUOTING $1,245 FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR (PARTS & LABOR). AN INTERNET SEARCH LED ME TO FIND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW OWNERS OF THIS ERA OF TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO COVER THE COST OF THIS VERY EXPENSIVE AND PREMATURE REPAIR. MY MECHANIC WARNED ME OF THE HUGE DANGERS OF HAVING MY ALTERATOR FAIL WHILE OPERATING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE DOING THE FAST FREEWAY DRIVING THAT IS SO COMMON IN LOS ANGELES. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE RED BATTERY DASH LIGHT INDICATED SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THIS CAN BE RECALLED, TO SAVE CONSUMERS THE HUGE COST OF MAKING THIS CRITICAL AND UNTIMELY REPAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS COMPLAINT AND YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MONTANA. NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NOT FOLLOWING ANY CARS. OUT OF THE BLUE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE SUNROOF. UPON PULLING OVER, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. VERY GLAD THE SLIDER HAD BEEN CLOSED AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY CUT, PLUS I HAD A PASSENGER. MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO I COULD DRIVE, SO NOT AT A HIGH SPEED, WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ROOF WAS REPLACED BY GLASS DOCTOR.

THE REAR WINDSHIELD IS TINTED. IT HAS DETERIORATED SO MUCH THAT I CAN NOT SEE THROUGH IT WHILE IN DRIVERS SEAT. IT IS EXTREMELY BLURRY AND TRANSLUCENT. AT NIGHT TIME IT IS ALL STREAKED LIGHT REFLECTIONS. THIS CONDITION IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE TINT FILM HAS BUBBLED. NOTICED IT HAPPEN LAST YEAR BUT NOW IT HAS BECOME WORST.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND SHORTING IT OUT. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE DRAIN FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED AND CONDENSED WATER WAS NOT DRAINING OUT ONTO THE GROUND AS DESIGNED. INSTEAD, IT BUILT UP AND THEN LEAKED ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF TOYOTA CAMRYS.

MY 2010 CANRY 2.4L ENGINE HAS BEEN CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL MONTHLY OR EVERY 1,000 MILES. I WOUDL LIKE TOYOTA TO FIX PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.

MOLD NEGLIGENCE - ISSUE ORIGINATED AROUND 10,000 MILES AS DEALERSHIP RECORDS INDICATE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED AIR FILTER AS THE REPAIR. HOWEVER, SUPPOSEDLY, THE TSBS SUGGESTED THAT A MOLDY MILDEW SMELL MAY DEVELOP FROM THE HVAC COMPONENTS. THE CARPET WAS NOT PULLED BACK AND INSPECTED UNTIL A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL. MOLD WAS PRESENT AND PHOTOGRAPHED. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR WERE SUBJECT TO OTHER FORMS OF WATER LEAKS AND SEPARATE MOLD FORMED THERE ALSO. CONSUMER SUGGESTION OF A MOISTURE SENSOR IN THE LOW POINTS OF THE BODY TO NOTIFY THE OWNER OF AN ISSUE VIA A WARNING LIGHT. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS ODORS ARE NOXIOUS AND IRRITATING AND AFFECT BREATHING RESPIRATIONS AND OVERALL HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING IN PERSISTENT COUGH. TOYOTA NATIONAL RECENTLY INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED BUT REJECTED BUYBACK OR COMPENSATION. FILING WITH NHTSA TO DOCUMENT MOLD ISSUES WITH 2010 MODEL FOR LEGAL REFERENCES IF TOYOTA DOES NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT AND BUYBACK.

DASHBOARD MELTING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR FRACTURED AND OBSTRUCTED THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. ALSO, WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE SUN VISOR STRUCK THE DRIVER IN THE FACE. THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED. LARRY H. MILLER LIBERTY TOYOTA COLORADO SPRINGS (5115 NEW CAR DR, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP OBSTRUCTING VISION. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SUPPORT FROM TOYOTA BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

INITIALLY, I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE BEEN IMAGINING THINGS BUT OVER THIS SUMMER I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS BURNING OIL SO FAST, THAT I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 1000 MILES. RECENTLY, I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT THE END OF AUGUST 2018, USED OW-20 FULL SYNTHETIC AND TWO WEEKS LATER, THE OIL HAD BURNED OUT. LAST WEEK ON 9/13/18, I PUT 4 QUARTS IN AND TODAY I CHECKED MY DIPSTICK AND IT NEARLY DRY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MATTER WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TOYOTA WOULDN'T RECALL VEHICLES THAT ARE A SAFETY DANGER.

DASH IS STICKY, MELTING, BREAKING DOWN, AND DETERIORATING SINCE JUNE 2017. NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY HAD A LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD SAME PROBLEM. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE HEAT UNTIL I WASN'T ABLE TO CLEAN IT OR REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR,AS THE DASH HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT LEAVES AN IMPRINT OR INDENTION. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT STICKS TO IT. WHEN YOUR DIVING THERE IS GLARE FROM THE RESIDUE THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND SINCE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND YOU CAN'T CLEAN IT OFF THAT MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACE SEVERAL DASHES, BUT HAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT HAVE BROKEN DOWN AFTER THERE TIME FRAME HAS ELAPSED? MINE DIN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THEIR TIME FRAME EXPIRED, SO I'M I JUST OUT OF LUCK AND I'M SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THEIR INFERIOR PRODUCT? I'M WORRIED THAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE DASH WOULD JUST CRUMBLE AND NOT PROTECT MY FAMILY OR MYSELF. I NEED HELP, I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I HAVE TO SINCE IT'S MY ONLY ONE. SHOULDN'T TOYOTA HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL NOTICE TO EVERYONE THAT WAS AFFECTED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS SUDDENLY FELL DOWN AND OBSTRUCTED THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. JOSEPH TOYOTA (9101 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE UNIT AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACTED CALLED JAY WOLFE TOYOTA OF WEST COUNTY (14700 MANCHESTER RD, BALLWIN, MO 63011, (636) 707-0157) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1809052163. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FELL OFF. THE HANDLE BROKE AND DOESN'T STAY. ALWAYS DOWN

LUG NUTS SWELLING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH. ALL 20 LUG NUTS SHOW EVIDENCE OF SEPARATION OF THE STEEL NUT AND THE DECORATIVE CHROME COVER COVERING THE STEEL LUG NUT. DEFECT WAS FOUND BY TIRE DEALER DURING PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES WHEN THE TECHNICIAN HAD DIFFICULTY REMOVING LUG NUTS. ACCORDING TO THE TIRE STORE MANAGER THIS DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY WATER GETTING BETWEEN THE STEEL NUT AND THE DECORATIVE CAP WHICH CAUSES RUST TO FORM. WHEN THE OXIDATION FORMS IT PUTS PRESSURE ON THE DECORATIVE CAP CAUSING IT TO EXPAND. THE NORMAL 21MM WRENCH WILL NOT FIT OVER THE LUG NUT DUE TO THE EXPANSION SO THE NEXT SIZE WRENCH IS NECESSARY WHICH THEN DAMAGES THE NUT. THE NORMAL LUG NUT WRENCH SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE CAR IS THEREFORE NOT ABLE TO BE USED TO REMOVE LUG NUTS. I HAVE THE DAMAGED LUG NUTS IF NEEDED FOR EXAMINATION

ON MY MORNING COMMUTE I HAD TO INITIATE A FAST ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY TO GAIN SPEED AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL I NOTICED IT REMAINED DEPRESSED FULLY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THIS SITUATION HAD HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR IN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE I HAD PUT "THE PEDAL TO THE METAL" AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ALLOWED THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE AND OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE INSTANCE TODAY OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT; MAX ACCELERATION WAS ENGAGED AT AROUND 5MPH AND MY TOP SPEED REACHED 40MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE SUN VISORS BREAKS AND WILL NOT STAY UP CREATING A FLOPPY SUN VISOR IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR. I HAVE READ THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF CAMRIES AND IT IS NOT A RECALL AND TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX UNLESS YOUR ORGANIZATION MAKES IT MANDATORY

WRITING ABOUT THE SUN VISORS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SEEMS UNUSUAL TO ME THAT I'VE HAD TWO OF THEM THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. IN BOTH CASES, THE SUN VISORS LOST THEIR ABILITY TO STAY UPRIGHT AND STARTED DROPPING DOWN INTO THE DRIVERS' VISUAL FIELD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. I BOUGHT REPLACEMENTS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF. NOT HUGELY EXPENSIVE JUST SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT, AND POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS ONLINE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THEY HELPED ME DO THE REPAIR MYSELF, BUT SEEMS TO SIGNAL THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS OF THESE TOYOTA CARS. I'M ONLY LISTING THE DATE OF THE LAST ONE I REPLACED. THE FIRST ONE OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FELL OFF

ENGINE WAS MAKING NOISE ANS INTERMITTENTLY STALLED. TOOK THE DEALER. HE CHARGED $135 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THE ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. REAL SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $4500. HE DID NOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. I GOT THE ENGINE OILED FILLED AND DROVE BACK HOME. THE CAR IS USELESS FOR ME. I CANNOT SELL IT OR TRADE IT. IT IS A JUNK NOW.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT CREATES A REFLECTION THAT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF DRIVERS.

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I'VE NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCH AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY FROM A STOP. THE BRAKES ARE ALSO EXTREMELY TOUCHY SO IT'S HARD TO COME TO A SMOOTH STOP WITHOUT JERKING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN USING SPEED CONTROL IT WILL ALWAYS BLINK AND HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEARS AND MADE AN ABNORMAL VIBRATING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MY CAMRY STARTED MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. AT FIRST IT WOULD COME AND GO SOMETIMES A FEW DAYS IN BETWEEN. NOW IT MAKE THE POPPING NOISE ALL THE TIME. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY..

2 SENSORS INDICATING INSTABILITY....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO MELT AND FELT STICKY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED A CRASH INVOLVING THREE CARS. *JS

TOYOTA DROPPED THE BALL AND DIDN'T RECALL THIS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I CHECK RECALLS FREQUENTLY. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT DRINKS A GALLON OF OIL EVERY 700-1200K MILES. EVEN THOUGH THEY DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 10YRS/150K MILES, THIS ISSUE USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER THEN. SO THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WAS DOING. MY CAR IS GOING TO FAIL THE TEST BUT TOYOTA DEALERS TELL ME THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO HELP WITH ANY OF THE REPAIR COSTS. TALK ABOUT PISSED. TOYOTA AND LEXUS JUST LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION; ADDING OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. NOTICED FIRST APPROX. JULY 2017.

I APPLIED THE BRAKES SLOWLY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR ACCELERATED--IT JOLTED FORWARD! I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARDER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON ONE DRIVE--I ALMOST HIT AN 18 WHEELER. IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD DO? I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ( HOUSTON TX) , SUDDENLY I HEARD A SOUND LIKE A EXPLOSION AT MY CAR CEILING. I PANICKED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR , LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY CAR NEAR ME ( FRONT BACK, RIGHT OR LEFT). FOUND OUT MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE REASON I AM CONFIDENT THAT THERE WASN'T ANY PIECE THAT FLEW OFF AND HIT MY CAR IS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAD ANY CAR NEAR ME NOR I WAS DRIVING IN ANY SIDE LANES. I WAS IN MIDDLE LANE. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF A SUNROOF EXPLODED LIKE THAT WITHOUT BEING HIT WITH ANYTHING.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT A RATE OF 4 QUARTS EVERY 3000 MILES.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

FAULTY AIR BAG. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THE AIR BAGS IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ASKING 1400 DOLLARS FOR THE JOB. I EXPLAINED THAT AIR BAGS ARE NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY ITEMS NOT IMPACTED BY OWNER DRIVING.

THE CAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP PER THE MANUFACTURER AND ALWAYS TAKEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD UNUSUAL NOISE FROM THE ENGINE; TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THE OIL STICK WAS COMPLETELY DRY. THIS WAS AFTER JUST HAVING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER. ABOUT 1,000 TO 1,200 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING, NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. INTERESTINGLY, THERE IS NO OIL LEAK IN THE DRIVEWAY EITHER. THE SERVICE ADVISER EXPLAINED THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE 2010 CAMRY FOR THIS TYPE ISSUE. THEY TOPPED OFF THE OIL AGAIN AND SAID TO COME BACK AT THE 1,000 MILE MARK TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN AND TO CHECK IT WEEKLY AS WELL. MADE IT TO ABOUT 800 MILES AND AGAIN NO OIL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS TOYOTA CORPORATION GOT TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITH NO OIL SINCE THE OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON EITHER AS A WARNING. LASTLY, THE ADVISER DID SAY IT MAY BE SOMETHING WITH THE ENGINE THAT WOULD COST US UPWARD OF $5K TO $6K.

FRONT SEATS ARE OVER HEATING

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE ON APRIL 20, 2017, MY CAR SURGED FORWARD AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I HIT ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE AND DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. OVER $6,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR ALONE. ON SEPT. 7, 2017, AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY CAR, I WAS ADVANCING VERY SLOWLY AND PRESSING VERY LIGHTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN THE CAR SURGED FORWARD VERY QUICKLY. I TRIED WITH GREAT FORCE TO APPLY THE BRAKE SO AS NOT TO HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BUT WAS FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THE LITTLE PRESSURE I APPLIED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PART THE CAR IN BOTH INSTANCES.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BECAME DETACHED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. BECAME VERY LOOSE ALL OF A SUDDEN, BLOCKING VISION, AND THEN DETACHED. TOYOTA APPARENTLY HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OUT ON THE ISSUE BUT I AM JUST OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY AND ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT RESULT. I KEPT PUMPING AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER AND OVER AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY STOP REVVING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH GAVE A HUGE JOLT TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT EASILY. I HAD MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED REVVING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH CAUSED A HUGE JOLT OF THE CAR.

IN LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO FALL AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. I PURCHASED ANOTHER DRIVER SIDE VISOR (ABOUT $85.00). LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE VISOR. I STILL HAD MY RECEIPT AT THE TIME, THEREFORE I SUBMITTED IT FOR A REFUND. WELL GUESS WHAT, THE REPLACEMENT VISOR DID NOT LAST LONG. IT STARTED TO FALL (2012) AND FOR A WHILE IT WOULD STAY UP WHEN I PUSHED IT BACK UP, UNLESS I HIT A POTHOLE OR A BUMP. NOW (2016) IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. I AM NOT HAPPY THAT I WILL NEED TO SPEND ESTIMATE $85 FOR A THIRD VISOR THAT WILL ONLY LAST FOR HOW LONG? FIRST TIME SINCE I OWNED A CAR (THIS IS MY THIRD CAR AND FIRST TOYOTA. LAST CAR I HAD FOR 14 YEARS.) THAT I HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF NON-MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH A CAR. I JUST HAD THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT REPLACED (SEPT. 2017) BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED NOR WOULD IT LOCK. IT JUST FELL OPEN WHILE I WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE AGAIN. THAT COST ME ALMOST $200 TO GET THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT, BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT BOX FROM TOYOTA COST WAS $600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE GEARS INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TCM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 5:45 A.M. ON 9-4-2017 AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, NOTHING WAS THROWN AT ME AND I WAS NOT UNDER AN OVERPASS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I EXAMINED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION OF THE VEHICLE'S GLASS AND DID NOT OBSERVE ANY ROCKS, BOTTLES OR OTHER ITEMS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE GLASS WAS CURVED/BOWED UPWARD INDICATING THAT AN OBJECT DID NOT HIT IT. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HOT IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING OVER 110 DEGREES, SO NOT SURE IF THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE GLASS SHATTERING. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING TOYOTA, WITH SEVERAL LAWSUITS AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC BASE OF THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE SUN VISOR TO HANG, AND BLOCKED THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER. NEITHER AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOR THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000. UPDATED 11/27/2017*JS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT ALSO FALLS DOWN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE IT FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO BLOCK THE SUN. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT BUT HAS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THE CAR'S MODEL YEAR AND DATE OF PURCHASE. MY CAR IS A 2010, AND MISSED BEING ELIGABLE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMANET BY 3 MONTHS. MY SUN VISOR IS JUST AS BROKEN AS THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THEIR CAR 3 MONTHS AFTER ME. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK NHTSA WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THIS BEING A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK TOYOTA WHY THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, AS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY ARE ALL MODEL YEARS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM?

DASH BOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. CALLED TOYOTA BECAUSE FOUND WARRANTY INFORMATION AND THEY SAID THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MAY 2017. IN MAY, MY DASHBOARD WAS FINE. TODAY'S DATE IS AUGUST 22, 2017. DOES TOYOTA KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG THE DASHBOARD LASTS AND TERMINATE THEIR WARRANTY A MONTH PRIOR. CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO SHINY REFLECTION OF SUN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, JEFF WYLER TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED AT 812-284-2277 AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 10/26/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 10/30/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE SUPPORT AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTRAL TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 3305 STADIUM BLVD, JONESBORO, AR 72401), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THIS CAR HAS REQUIRED 6 SETS OF TIRES IN LESS THAN 90,0000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON TO ROLL IT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. THE AIR CONDITIONER OCCASIONALLY SWITCHES ITSELF FROM RECYCLED TO FRESH AIR WHILE DRIVING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING RANDOM ALARM ABOUT SEATBELT WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED THERE. THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY TO THE TOUCH, AND CLOTH WOULD STICK TO IT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO WIPE IT CLEAN. THE DASHBOARD THEN DEVELOPED SEVERAL DEEP CRACKS, RUNNING ERRATICALLY LY FROM FRONT TO BACK. IN PLACES AROUND TRIM PIECES, DASHBOARD PLASTIC HAS FLAKED AWAY. PLASTIC ON THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE'S LID HAS CHIPPED AND FLAKED AWAY, AND CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND IT. PAINT ON TRIM OF CONSOLE HAS BUBBLED UP AND RUINED THE FINISH IN CONSOLE DRINK HOLDER LID. THE CD PLAYER MALFUNCTIONED, WITH A DISC READ ERROR REPORTED, THOUGH NO DISC WAS INSIDE THE PLAYER, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF SYSTEM. THE AUX AUDIO PORT FAILED AFTER ONLY A YEAR OF REGULAR USE. THE FLOOR MATS HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP WANTED TO PROVIDE RECALL SERVICE LIMITED TO SECURING THESE WITH A ZIP TIE. CARPETING BECAME STAINED AND FILTHY, AND COULD NOT BE EFFECTIVELY CLEANED, SO CARPETING HAD TO BE REPLACED BY OWNER. RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA BY THE OWNER HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO WEIGHT CAPACITY RATING STICKER, ALTHOUGH THIS WAS TOYOTA FINANCED VEHICLE AND OWNER'S ADDRESS REMAINS UNCHANGED. OTHERWISE, ALL RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED BY REGISTERED OWNER, HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO THOSE REPORTED BY NHTSA FOLLOWING OWNER'S REGISTRATION AT WEBSITE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS ROUTINELY BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE, DISMISSIVE, OR CONTENTIOUS WHEN WARRANTY SERVICE REQUESTS WERE MADE. DEALERSHIP OFFERS ONLY REASONS TO DENY WARRANTY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. ABOUT ONE QUART PER 1200 MILES. DID HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORED BY TOYOTA ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEY SAID WE PASSED. THEN WE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE COVERED IN THE TSB

SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 7 YEARS OF WARRANTY REPAIR. HOWEVER, MY VISOR FAILED 3 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE EXTENSION EXPIRED AND THE LOCAL DEALER AND TOYOTA AMERICA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OBSCURES THE DRIVER'S VISION.

SUN VISOR HAS DROPPED AND CAN FEEL SEPARATION ON SPINE OF VISOR.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE VISORS IN THE CAR. THE LAST REPLACEMENT ONLY 3 YEARS AGO (JULY 2014). THE SPRINGS KEEP BREAKING, AND THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP NOR WILL THEY STAY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THEREFORE, IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN WITH MY VISORS DOWN. THE ONLY REASON I EVER PUT THEM DOWN IS WHEN I PUT A THIN LITTLE SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT WORK. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE VISORS, MUCH LESS 3 TIMES.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS MELTING.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWNWARD AND WILL NOT STAY UP THUS IMPAIRED DRIVER VISIBILITY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER VISOR, AFTER IT IS EXTENDED TO THE SIDE, DOES FALL AND SAG FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD, COVERING A LOWER PORTION THAN NORMAL OF THE SIDE DRIVER WINDOW. VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE IS GREATLY REDUCED; IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING PERPENDICULARLY FROM THE LEFT SIDE, AND I AM A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVER. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND EVEN HAD A 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOW EVIDENT IN MY CAR, WHICH IS 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS JUST A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THIS ISSUE THAT CAN BE SEARCHED ONLINE

LIKE SO MANY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES; STARTED USING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL ( @ ONE QUART EVERY 500 MILES) AT ABOUT 82,000 MILES

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP BUT FALLS INTO VIEW OF DRIVER OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY. TOYOTA RECALLED BUT IT RECURRED WITH 12 MONTHS. SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT COST $200.00 TO REPAIR AND REPAIR WILL BE DELAYED FOR MANY CAUSING HAZARD ON HIGHWAY. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM BY RECALL BUT ADVISES THAT THEY WILL FIX PROBLEM ONLY ONCE.

BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STATUP (1AR/2AR). PER TOYOTA T-SB-0041-13 -- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD STARTUP, SOME 2009-2013 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 1AR-FE AND 2AR-FE ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT A BRIEF KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE SECOND. FOLLOW THE REPAIR PROCEDURE BELOW TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS DUE TO WORN / LOOSE CAM GEARS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG MANY TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS ISSUES A TSB, BUT NOT A RECALL. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN CAUSE ENGINE STOPPAGE WHILE DRIVING.

ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED (65-70 MPH) IN TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, MY CAR LOST POWER (IT DID NOT CUT OFF--ONLY LOST POWER). AFTER WORKING MY WAY OFF OF THE INTERSTATE HWY., I WAS ABLE TO USE A CODE READER AND FOUND THAT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P2112 HAD BEEN SET (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK CLOSED). AFTER ERASING THE DTC THE CAR RAN OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE--ONCE ON 02/16/2017 (MILEAGE 75,465) AND A SECOND TIME ON 04/10/2017 (MILEAGE 75,829). FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN TOYOTA'S SERVICE MANUAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I CHECKED THE RESISTANCE OF THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND FOUND IT WAS WELL WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS--MEASURED 4 OHMS AND SPEC IS 0.3-100 OHMS). IN MY OPINION, LOSING POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

CAR TAKES SYNTHETIC OIL AND LOSING 2 QUARTS EVERY 3 MONTHS OR SO. NO LEAK ON DRIVEWAY AND NO SMOKE FROM EXHAUST...

PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKEN.

BURNING OIL FOUND THE PROBLEM A 48,000 MILES.I HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF EVERY 1500 MILES KNOW I HAVE 186,000 ITS GETTING WORSE NO OIL ON GROUND

MY DASH BOARD BECAME STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING A GLARE ON THE DASHBOARD. HARD TO SEE DURING SUNNY DAY. STICKY PROBLEM HAPPEN ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM CAR MAX.

MY 2010, 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY IS USING EXTREME AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT HAS BEEN TESTED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN 5/2016 AND I WAS TOLD IT QUALIFIED FOR TOYOTA'S REPAIR UNDER ENHANCED WARRANTY. CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009. CALLED 1/18/17 THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN TO MY NAME ON THEIR VERY LONG LIST AND TO BRING IT IN. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR TO REPAIR IT, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIRS-EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL CORPORATE TOYOTA TO SEE IF IT COULD BE INCLUDED. THEY SAID NO AND THAT I NEED ANOTHER OILED CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE LAST ONE IS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. BASICALLY, JUST TOLD THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION (APPROX 1 QT/250 MILES). *TR

HIGH CONSUMPTION OF ENGINE OIL, DO NOT LUBRICATE THE ENGINE, ROTATE THE PINION OF THE VVT -I. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, ADD 3 TO 5 ADDITIONAL ROOMS BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. PROBLEM WITH 2009 AND 2010 MODELS

TRANSMISSION IS AGGRESSIVE. RELUCTANT TO CHANGE GEARS RESULTING IN A DECELERATING AFFECT (DOWNHILL, UPHILL, COASTING AND IN TRAFFIC). DANGER TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND OTHER DRIVERS AS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT APPLIED TO NOTIFY OTHERS OF VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN. AT A STANDSTILL, TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY. DRIVING SIMILAR TO STEERING A CAR WITH A BRAKE CALIPER STUCK. *TR

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT NOTICE IT AT FIRST, AS THE SUMMER WORE ON THE DASH BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I WAS HEADED FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO OHIO FOR MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS MORE THAN JUST A STICKY DASHBOARD. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ON THE WINDOW CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. NOT EXACTLY AN IDEAL TIME TO FIND OUT THE CAR YOU HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED WAS BARELY DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT!

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AUGUST 2016 I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DIVERS SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY RETRACTING BACK INTO POSITION (HALF POSITION). BY SEPTEMBER 2016, IT WAS NO LONGER RETRACTING AT ALL MAKING IT HARD FOR ME WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC. BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2016, THE VISOR IS COMPLETELY OFF.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION; IT AFFECTS MY VISUAL RANGE. DASH BOARD STICKY; LEAVE IN AREA WHERE TEMPERATURE REACHES OVER 115* F.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT REMAIN UP AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS DRIVER'S VIEW AT ALL TIMES

IT HAPPENED 9/20/16 ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2010 WITH 57037 MILES I WAS DRIVING EAST IN THE SUN WITH SUN VISOR DOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VISOR COMES FROM THE LINK, SO I HAD IMMEDIATELY APPLY BRAKES TO AVOID ANY MISHAP DUE TO SUN VISOR BREAKING. THE SUN VISOR REPLACE/REPAIR IS COVERED BY THE TOYOTA WARRANTY BUT TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE COVERED THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, TOYOTA IS NOT ENTERTAINING THE CLAIM TO FIX OR REPLACE THE SUN VISOR. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL SUPER STEEL TIRES. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE FELL APART, THE FENDER LOOSENED, AND ALL THE SENSOR WIRES DISCONNECTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE TIRE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET THE AIR BAG DEPLOY INDICATOR RESET AT A DEALER, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I HAVE GOTTEN TWO OIL CHANGES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL TO EMPTY EVERY 4-5 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. I WORK AS A REALTOR PART-TIME AND FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FULL-TIME. MY DAILY COMMUTE (MON-FRI) IS ALL MAJOR HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, FOR 3 HOURS ROUND-TRIP. AS A REALTOR, I DRIVE ALL THROUGHOUT THE DC, MARYLAND, VIRGINIA AREAS, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK WHEN DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN. AND LATER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE TO BE CHECKED AT A DEALER WHO SAID EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE EXCEPT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKED WELL THIS TIME. TWO DAYS LATER, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNED ON ALL OF WARNING LIGHTS AND THEN WENT BLACK AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T SPEED IT UP. PULL OVER AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING TURNED TO BE OK. SO, I SENT IT THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I KEEP THE BROKEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN CASE FOR NEED OF FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

AT 70K MLS VEHICLE WAS LOOSING PRECISE STEERING AND EXPERIENCED SOME "BOUNCING" ON UNEVEN SURFACES DUE TO ALL 4 STRUTS LEAKING ESPECIALLY THE FRONT ONES. DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 (11/25/14) AND 30K LATER (05/20/20015) TWO FRONT ONES SHOWED THE LEAK AGAIN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH CASES THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OEM ONES. I OPENED CASE WITH TOYOTA (1605180624) AND WAS TOLD THAT SUCH ISSUE WAS NORMAL AND IT WAS NOTHING THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR JUST FELL APART AND WAS HANGING TRIED TYING IT UP ,GLUED WITH NO SUCCESS. I FIND THIS TO BE A HAZARD SINCE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 70 MPH. HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS OBVIOUS ISSUE.

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SCRATCHES/CRACKS AND MIS-ALIGNMENT OF PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT, SPLIT SEAM ON FRONT SIDE PANEL AND REAR QUARTER PANEL DAMAGES. *SMD THE CONSUMER NOTICED A SPLIT SEAM ON THE FRONT PANEL, WHERE THE VEHICLE CONNECTED TO THE FENDER. ALSO, THE BUMPER WAS DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. *JB

ENGINE IS CONSUMING TO QUICKLY THE OIL

THE CONTACT, WHO WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER, AND HIS WIFE, THE DRIVER, SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE POLICE AND THE PARAMEDICS WERE AT THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND LATER TOTALLED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE SPEED WAS NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TAKATA-DO NOT KWOW IF MY VECHILE IS RECALLED YET,BUT IT SHOULD BE.PURCHASED 7/4/2009.HAS BEEN IN THE HOUSTON,TX AREA THE WHOLE TIME.CANNOT SIT 10 INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL,BECAUSE IT IS A 6 SPEED STANDARD.I AM ALMOST 68 YEARS OLD,AND NEED THE AIR BAG TO BE RECALLED,OR AN OFF/ON SWITHCH INSTALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG!!!!!!!!!!

TAKATA RECALL I WOULD LIKE MY CAR CHECKED AND REPAIRED FOR ALL TOYOTA RECALLS AS THE 3RD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU! PEACE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED AN OIL LEAK FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCV VALVE HOSE AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE STOPPED IN A PRIVATE PARKING LOT IN STALL, BUT WHILE FOOT ON BRAKE YET & ENGINE RUNNING, VEHICLE ACCELERATED JUMPED A CURB CROSSED GRASS ISLAND & STRUCK A VEHICLE FACING MINE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PRIOR TO ACCELERATING.

DASHBOARD MELTED IN SUN AND CREATED A STRONG GLARE WHICH IS EFFECTING VISIBILITY AND CREATED A STICKY MESS WHICH COLLECTS DIRT AND BUGS.

I NOTICED A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN STARTING AND THE ENGINE WAS COLD. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY HAD TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE ON MY CAMRY WAS 90317 MILES WHEN THE DEALERSHIP MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ON SEPT. 10, 2014. I PAID $849.79 FOR THE REPAIRS. I SEE ON YOUR SITE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THIS MODEL CAMRY, A DEFECT WHICH THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD THE MANUFACTURER COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIRS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OCCUPANT IN THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY THAT NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN AFTER THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THAT MY STRUTS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE LEAKING. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT SOUND LIKE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT WERE INSTALLED AND MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS.

MY FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS EVEN WHEN TANK IS EMPTY, AND WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION KEY OFF, FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWS FULL. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK, AND THIS HAS RESULT ME WITHOUT GAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, IT IS REALLY A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE RECALL.

THE SUNVISOR ON BOTH SIDE FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING ,L CALL MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING IT INTO THE DRIVE POSITION, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED TO UNKNOWN SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO TWO TREES. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RECALL VISOR FAILED AFTER 2 YEARS INSTALLED. DEALER SAID IS NOT COVER WITH RECALL SECOND TIME.

BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE LOCK CONTROLS FAIL TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS. OCCASIONALLY, DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK. IT IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE WINDOW/ LOCK CONTROL RECALL FOR 2007 AND 2009 TOYOTA CAMRYS. IT ALMOST SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A FAULTY WIRE CONNECTION. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, NO MATTER WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

WHILE GOING TO WORK, OTHER VEHICLE DID NOT STOP ON STOP SIGN AND MAKE LEFT AND HIT MY CAR IN FRONT, I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. DURING COLLISION AIR BAG NOT DEPLOY.

I FEEL LIKE YOUR DEALERSHIP LIED3 SALES MEN HAS BEEN FIRED ON THE COUNT OF THIS SITUATION I DONT LIKE THE DEAL OR WARRANTY THATHAT WAS OFFERED DUE TO THE COLOR OF MY SKIN

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING, LOW BEAM WORKS BUT VERY SCARY DRIVING AND LIGHTS JUST GO OUT. NOW ONLY LOW BEAM WORKS JUST WONDERING WHEN THEY MIGHT GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. DID SOME INVESTIGATING TO SEE HOW TO FIX AND NOTICED THAT I AM FAR FROM BEING ALONE ON THIS ONE. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO STEP UP AND MAKE TOYOTA MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH OWNERS. SINCE THE ONLY FIX SEAMS TO BE REPLACING WHOLE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY AT 2400.00 A PAIR !!! BECAUSE REPLACING BULB WILL JUST BLOW OUT AGAIN AND AGAIN . RAN MY VIN NUMBER NO CURRENT RECALL THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULL.

WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE RELIGIOUSLY. THE CAR IS AT 76,000 MILES AND YESTERDAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD BURNED THROUGH 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL LESS THAN 3000 MILES FROM THE LAST OIL CHANGE. ADDITIONALLY THE SLAVE CYLINDER IS LEAKING AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 23000 MILES. PRIOR TO THE LAST 3000 MILES, THE CAR HAD NEVER BURNED THROUGH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF THIS ENGINE HAD PISTON ISSUES THAT TOYOTA EVENTUALLY STARTED FIXING FOR FREE (AFTER MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION SUITS). I TOOK IT IN TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMENDED AN ENTIRE ENGINE OVERHAUL TO FIX THE PISTONS ($5000) OF WHICH THEY COVER NOTHING. IN ADDITION THEY CONFIRMED THE SLAVE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE OVERHAULED A 2ND TIME ($2,600). UNFORTUNATELY I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MANUAL, AND TOYOTA BARELY SOLD ANY OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS WHICH HAS RESULTED IN NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ANY MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE TRANSMISSION IS POORLY DESIGNED BUT CONSIDERED A WEAR ITEM, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE PISTONS ON A CAR WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE WOULD GIVE OUT AT 76,000 MILES.

MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSANGER VISOR DO NOT STAY UP THE DRIVER SIDE WOULDNT STAY UP AT ALL SO I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO HANG THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FROM COMPLAINTS I SEE

THE DASH IS LIFTING IN THE SAME SUCH MANOR FROM OTHER RECALLS FROM OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAD THE RECALL AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE UNDER THAT RECALL AS FROM THE HEAT IT MAKE THE DASH START TO LIFT IN SPOTS

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND GOING TO ADJUST MY VISOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR CAME APART AND STARTED TO HANG AND FALLING IN MY VISION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND PAYING ATTENTION IN TRAFFIC.

OUR TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN MAKING EXTREMELY LOUD NOISES AND KNOCKING NOISES FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. KEEP GETTING TOLD OUR CAMRY IS NOT A RECALL BUT ALL THE OTHER TOYOTAS THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SERVICED AND FIXED AND RECALLED OR A TSB BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED.. JUST NOT OURS ? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA EVER NOW.

I WAS STOPPED IN LINE OF A DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT. THE VEHICLES WERE NOT MOVING AND I WAS WAITING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR SEPARATED AND NOW IS BLOCKING VISION, WON'T STAY UP OR DOWN. IN FACT I NOW HIT MY HEAD WHEN LOOKING TO CHANGE LANES.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR (COMPARTMENT) WAS BROKEN AND FELL DOWN UNDER NORMAL USE. SINCE THE VISOR EDGE IS POINTING TO MY FOREHEAD DIRECTLY NOW AS I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION, THIS IS GOING TO BE LIFE-THREATENING IN CASE OF A CAR CRASH OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE TOO. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT UNDER ANY OF TOYOTA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL PROGRAMS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I WOULD REQUEST THAT PROPER ACTIONS BE TAKEN BEFORE THE ISSUE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

THE DASH IS COVERED WITH A STICKY SUBSTANCE. IT WAS JUST AN ANNOYANCE BUT NOW IN THE SUNSHINE, IT GLARES BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IS VERY HARD TO SEE. THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE.

AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL IS MISSING AT EACH OIL CHANGE. MOBILE 0W20 WITH NEW FILTER WAS USED AT EACH 6000 MILES INTERVAL. NO OTHER OIL WAS INTRODUCED TO THE ENGINE AND AT LEAST JUST ONE DELAY AT 7000 MILES INSTEAD OF 6000 MILES (1000 MILES OVER).

ON DEC 18TH I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT ON TO ANOTHER RD THERE WAS A CAR THAT HAD GOT UP TO THE HIGH SPEEDS OF 75OR 80 AND I HAD MY LEFT TURN. SIGNAL ON AND AS I WAS TURNING AND HE RAN IN TO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND INJURED MY LEFT SHOULDER AND MY NECK BUT MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I'M NOW HAVING TO HAVE SURGERY I HOPE THEY CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WRECK AND AGAIN THANKS

WHEN I WENT TO SERVICE MY TOYOTA CAMRY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY STRUCTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAKING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, STRUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR MORE THAN 7-8 YEARS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT MY CAR WHICH IS JUST 5 YRS OLD WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES WOULD REQUIRE SUCH AN IMPORTANT VEHICLE COMPONENT TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE FOR CAMRY 2007 OR LATER MODELS. THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED BY TOYOTA. I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD TAKE SOME ACTION TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT THE STRUCTS BEING USED BY TOYOTA FOR CAMRY MODELS.

ALL FOUR STRUTS SEVERE LEAKING

BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST STEERING WITH NO ABILITY FOR THE DRIVER TO CONTROL DIRECTION OF THE CAR. CAR DEPARTED FROM ITS LANE AND THEN CROSSED TWO LANES INVOLUNTARILY BUT LANES WERE FREE OF TRAFFIC SO AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND THE BRAKES DID REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THE ABILITY TO STEER WAS RECOVERED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. A REVIEW OF THE COMPUTER DATA (TROUBLE CODES) INDICATED A FAILURE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR AND STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. MAURICE AT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AID THE TOYOTA COMPANY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE AND HE ALSO SAID THAT, "NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GIVEN" AS THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.WE HAVE A CASE NUMBER FILED WITH TOYOTA. TOYOTA SAYS THIS HAZARDOUS AND TERRIFYING INCIDENT IS NOT THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW OR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT TO IDLE WHILE PETAL WAS STILL DEPRESSED. LET OFF THE PEDAL AND PUSHED IT DOWN AGAIN AND IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION BEGAN WITH THIS CAR, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY RECENT. ALL OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I DO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE OCCURRENCES, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE LAST THREE CLEARLY. THE FIRST OF THESE WAS IN MARCH 2015. I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH AND HAD STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT I HAD MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; I HAD BEEN MAKING A SPECIAL POINT OF THAT AS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER OCCURRENCES. I FELT THE ENGINE SPEED UP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS ON MARCH 29TH WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR-WAY STOP. I WAS WAITING FOR A PEDESTRIAN (WALKING A DOG) WHO WAS CROSSING THE ROAD ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM WHERE I WAS STOPPED. I DO NOT HAVE A FIRM RECOLLECTION OF EXACTLY WHERE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS POSITIONED, BUT IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED, HEADING TOWARD THE PEDESTRIAN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING HER BY MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN INTO THE CROSS STREET AND THEN BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE THIRD OCCASION WAS ON APRIL 5TH. IN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR IN A LOT NEAR A GROCERY STORE, I TURNED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING SPACE. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL GENTLY TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AT THE CURB ON A MEDIAN STRIP THAT SEPARATED MY PARKING AREA FROM A SIMILAR ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS JUST A FEW FEET FROM WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED OVER THE CURB, AND CROSSED THE MEDIAN, STRIKING AN UNOCCUPIED CAR PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR ONLY AFTER THE CRASH CAUSED SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPERS OF BOTH CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ON OR ABOUT THE ABOVE DATE OF APRIL 15, 2015 I WASHED MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AT A LOCAL CAR WASH USING THEIR AUTOMATED HIGH PRESSURE WASH AND WAX. A FEW DAYS AFTERWARD I REALIZED THE CENTER TRUNK AREA, THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE, HELD 2 TO 3 INCHES OF WATER, AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUNK ALSO HAD WATER. I HAVE READ POST AFTER POST ONLINE STATING MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SOME HAVE STATED THE REAR WINDOW AND BODY PANELS WERE NOT SECURELY SEALED FROM THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY. IN JUNE OF 2014 WATER WAS GETTING INSIDE ON THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SOAKING THE CARPET COMPLETELY. THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE TUBE HAD PLUGGED UP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED THE INTERIOR BY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TO BE SOAKED IN WATER. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ODOMETER JUST RECENTLY TURNED OVER 45,145 MILES. NOW, THERE IS ALREADY AN INDICATION OF MOLD, AND MOLD CAN BE DEADLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN BUT DID NOT RESPOND NORMALLY. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,350.

STICKINESS OF DASH BOARD SHINY REFLECTIVE SURFACE THE DASHBOARD CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING AND STOPPING MY DRIVER SEAT SHIFTS AND MOVE. NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM HAVING THE ISSUE WITH THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND READ THAT IT IS FROM THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD, YET THE YEAR OF MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST TO GET IF CORRECTED. I JUST NOTICED THAT WHEN I START MY CAR YOU HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AGAIN NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE OR NOT. MY AC BUTTON WILL SHOW THAT IT IS ON BUT IT ACTUALLY IS ON. IT IS LIKE THE SENSOR IS GOING OUT ON IT. *TR

ENGINE IS VERY NOISEY ON START UP AND THEREAFTER RUNNING. *TR

WHEN TURNING RIGHT EITHER IN MOTION OR NOT THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL. THE KNOCKING SOUND HAS GOTTEN WORST AND LOUDER. *TR

WE BROUGHT THIS CAR FROM ROSNER TOYOTA IN FREDERICKSBURG VA I QUESTION THE ENGINE NOISE FROM START UP AND IT CONTINUES NOW EXTREME ENGINE NOISE FROM START UP WHILE RUNNING UNTIL SHUT DOWN SOUNDS LIKE A BENT PUSH ROD OR COLLAPSED LIFTER OR BOTH IT MAKES A LARGE AMOUNT OF NOISE ON START UP SLOWS DOWN AS IT WARMS UP BUT IT IS STILL THERE ALWAYS.I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY ALL MAKE THAT NOISE THAT YEAR I'VE LISTEN TO OTHER TOYOTAS FROM THAT YEAR GUESS WHAT NO NOISE EVER FROM THE ONES I LISTEN TO SURPRISE I GOT LIED TO AGAIN.WHAT A JOKE THIS HAS BECOME.

I HAVE BEEN OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LAST 5 YRS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SPEED EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DOWN HILL SPEED. EVEN IF YOU PUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON 45MIL/HR STILL CAR GETS SPEED UP TO 90 TO 100 MILES.ON FLAT ROAD CAR DOESN'T SLOW DOWN EVEN YOU DO NOT PUSH GAS PADDLE. THE DEALER SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DOWN THE HILL EVEN IF YOU USE CRUISE CONTROL. I WILL TAKE SOME BODY WITH ME AND VIDEO RECORDING AND POST ON LINE. I HAVE BEEN THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA FOR THIS BUT NO RESULT. MY WIFE SCARE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OR HOW TO SEEK LEGAL ADVISE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU. *JS

DASHBOARD IS STICKY. NOTHING CLEANS IT OFF. EVEN TOOK IT TO BE DETAILED THIS JANUARY (2015) & WAS TOLD THERE THAT IT IS A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE DASH. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER WITHIN A WEEK. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE/PIPE LEAKING DESPITE NO COLLISION OR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH SUN SHINING INTO MY EYES, I PULLED DOWN THE SUN VISOR BUT IT BROKE AND FAILED TO STAY IN POSITION ANY MORE. THE SUN VISOR JUST HANG DOWNWARD TO BLOCK MY VISION AND I HAD TO USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. DRIVER HAVE TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR WITH ONE HAND AND LEAVE ONE HAND TO DRIVE. THIS IMPACT THE SAFETY IN DRIVING. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. THE FAILURES BEGIN INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN RESULT IN TOTAL FAILURE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAVE TOTALLY FAILED. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR NOW INTERMITTENTLY FAILS. TOYOTA INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE NO RECALLS OR EXTENDED WARRANTIES. INTERNET SEARCHES SHOW THAT MULTIPLE TOYOTA MODELS HAVE THIS AS A COMMON FAILURE. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT RESPOND TO THE ELECTRICAL UNLOCK / LOCK BUTTON AND DO NOT RESPOND TO THE REMOTE. MANUAL UNLOCK STILL WORKS; HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF SMALL CHILDREN OR USE OF THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS, THIS WILL LIKELY NOT BE AN OPTION. I HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT CASE WITH TOYOTA USA. TOYOTA USA INDICATED THAT NOTHING WILL BE DONE BY THEM AT THIS TIME. THEY WILL NOTIFY ME IF THEY ISSUE A RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE FUTURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. A TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FRONT STRUTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE LEAKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,221.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN GARRETT ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE PROBLEMS WITH RETURNING A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO A WALL AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

2010 CAMRY - BOUGHT NEW. TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES & SERVICE. REPLACED NEW MICHELIN TIRES (RATED 60,000 MILES) AT 32,000 MILES THAT WORE OUT UNEVENLY. WE NOTED THAT OUR VANS WHICH HAVE MORE ROLL THAN A CAR AND ARE MORE HEAVILY LOADED, USUALLY GO AT LEAST 55,000 AND THAT THEY WEAR MORE EVENLY. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CHECKING EVERYTHING, IT DID NOT OCCUR TO US THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER ALERTED US.SUDDENLY, AT 50,000 MILE CHECK UP, WE WERE INFORMED ALL 4 STRUTS ARE AT #2 AND MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS A LIGHTLY DRIVEN CAR. ( 2 DRIVERS AND 3 VEHICLES.) THESE ARE MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. WE NEVER LOAD IT AND RARELY HAVE MORE THAN 1 PERSON IN THE CAR. WE HAVE NEVER EVEN NEEDED A BRAKE JOB AND HAVE 70% LEFT ON OUR BRAKE PADS. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CAMRYS AFTER 2007. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION, THEY OFFERED $750 DISCOUNT IF WE HAVE IT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. .DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES RANGE AROUND $1800 +. I CONTEND THAT SINCE TOYOTA DOES NOT RECOMMEND ANYTHING BE DONE WITH LEAKING STRUTS UNTIL THEY ARE TOTALLY SHOT, THEY DID NOT TELL US THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TIRES PREMATURELY WEARING AND WHY WOULD ALL 4 STRUTS SUDDENLY FAIL IF THESE WERE NOT DEFECTIVE? WHY WOULD TOYOTA SAY STRUTS THAT LEAK AT ALL ARE NORMAL? SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. THIS IS NOT STANDARD MAINTENANCE - IT IS A DEFECT. SINCE TOYOTA IS ARBITRARILY DECIDING, WE WOULD APPRECIATE A CONSUMER ADVOCATE TO ASSIST US. WE ARE FINE WITH NORMAL MAINTENANCE COSTS AND IF IT WERE OLDER OR WITH MORE MILEAGE, WE WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET ABOUT THIS MAJOR PART FAILURE. *TR

IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER (LESS THAN 20 DEGREES)THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN FIRST DRIVEN IN THE MORNING AFTER MINIMUM 4 MINUTES IDLING. ENGINE RPM 3000 VEHICLE SPEED 1-2 MPH. TRANSMISSION WILL SLOWLY ENGAGE AS ENGINE WARMS UP. ALSO ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COME ON WHILE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SLIP ON EVERY COLD DAY IT HAPPENS WHENEVER. IN WARM WEATHER, ALSO WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARMED UP THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT FROM TOYOTA BUT IT STILL HAPPENS JUST A LITTLE LESS OFTEN. A YEAR LATER DECEMBER 2014 COLD WEATHER COMING , I'M AFRAID THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP AGAIN. THE LOCAL TOYOTA SHOP SHOULD BE CONSIDERING AN ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER PROBLEM. *TR

CREATES A TERRIBLE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD, MAKING DRIVING DANGEROUS. DEALER IS ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER SERVICED MY VEHICLE..THEY STATE THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM..THEIR BODY SHOP ALSO IS OBLIVIOUS TO PROBLEM (THEY TRIED AN INDUSTRIAL CLEANER TO TRY TO WIPE IT OFF. (TO NO AVAIL). NOW I FIND THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM...THE INTERNET FORUM IS "REPLETE" WITH CAR OWNERS OF DIFFERENT MAKES/MODELS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS BEEN GARAGED OR NOT. PLEASE HELP...ON A "FIXED" INCOME, CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS DASHBOARD AND MY VEHICLE IS IN "PRISTINE" CONDITION WITH LOW MILEAGE/EXCELLENT CARE. THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN WARRANTS A "RECALL" AS SO MANY (MYRIAD) CAR OWNERS ARE NOW COMING FORWARD WITH THIS COMPLAINT. ONLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR HAS THIS PROBLEM CROPPED UP ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS 5 YEARS OLD BUT ONLY HAS UNDER 32,000 MILES. UPDATED 12/10/14. *JB

DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY EVEN IN MILD TEMPERATURES AND OBSCURES VISION WHEN DRIVING INTO SUN DUE TO GLARE. GLARE IS CAUSING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. GLARE IS ALSO CAUSING EYE STRAIN DUE TO INTENSE FOCUS NEEDED TO DRIVE LEADING TO SEVERE HEADACHES. *TR

DASH HAS A STICKY/GOOEY FEEL TO IT. TRIED SEVERAL PRODUCTS TO REMOVE STICKINESS THEN REALIZED DASH IS ACTUALLY MELTING AND THIS IS GLUE COMING UP THROUGH THE DASH ITSELF. THIS MAKES THE DASH VERY SHINY AND CAUSES A TERRIBLE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

AT 46,000 MILES I HAD PROBLEMS WITH ROAD NOISE, SO I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ( RICHARDSON TOYOTA IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS) AND HAD THEM LOOK AT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM, THEY ROTATED THEM TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THEN ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AGAIN, I WENT TO TIRE SHOP IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS RATHER THAN GOING TO THE DEALER. THEY ASKED ME TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT THE STRUTS AND THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE CUPPING BECAUSE THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING SO BADLY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING THE FRONT END LEVEL. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE PROBLEM, WHICH UPON ARRIVAL WAS TOLD THE STRUTS WERE FINE, AND THAT TOYOTA SAID THE LEAKAGE WAS ACCEPTABLE FROM BETWEEN 10-15%. THEY RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES AND IF I WANTED TO REPLACE THE STRUTS THEY WOULD DO IT FOR ABOUT $1,000 TO $1,200 W/OUT TIRES. MY CAR WAS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA WHICH THEY WOULDN'T COVER ANY STRUT REPLACEMENT. I TOLD THEM WHY WOULD I BUY THE SAME TOYOTA PARTS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN ANOTHER 35-40K MILES. IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR SOMEONE WHO SOLD TOYOTA'S FOR 3 YEARS. *TR

DASHBOARD STICKY AND MELTING. *TR

THE CAMRY HAS A VERY BAD POPPING NOISE IN THE ROOF,SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS IN A BIND WHEN YOU RUN OVER SPEED BUMPS OR DRIVING ON A CURVY ROAD.I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE RECALLS ON 2012 MODELS FOR THE SAME THING BUT WON'T TALK ABOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR MINE,THE DEALERS SAY ITS A 5 TO 7 HOUR JOB AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW STABLE THE ROOF IS.MY CAR IS A 2010 WITH 52,000 MILES JUST LIKE NEW INSIDE AND OUT AND TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THE KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT THEY CAUSED FROM THE FACTORY?

I LIVE IN S. FLORIDA, AND OVER THE PAST YEAR, I'VE NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING FASTER AND FASTER EVERYDAY. IT ALSO IS VERY SHINY IN THE WORST AREAS AND IS VERY STICKY. IF I TOUCH IT, THE BLACK GUMMY/GOOEY SURFACE COMES OFF ON MY FINGER. PREVIOUSLY, I HAVE NOT USED ANY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN IT OTHER THAN A DAMP CLOTH (WITH WATER ONLY). OF COURSE, NOW I CAN'T CLEAN IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AS I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AS THEY SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I'VE LIVED HERE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED, SOME OF WHICH WERE MANY YEARS OLDER THAT MY CURRENT 4-YEAR-OLD TOYOTA CAMRY. IN ADDITION, WHEN DRIVING AT MORE THAN 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES EVEN SLIGHTLY, AND THE CAR VIBRATES. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED TWICE BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM EVERYTHING IS FINE AND IT'S JUST THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FUNCTIONING. HOWEVER, THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT FEELS UNSAFE TO ME, AND I DON'T BUY THEIR EXPLANATION. AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM, THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE SAME CAR. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE ROTOR IS TOO SMALL FOR THE INCREASED CAMRY SIZE AND THUS BECOMES WARPED. THIS ALSO SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND REPLACED FREE OF COST BY THE MANUFACTURER IF THIS IS THE CAUSE. IN ANY CASE, TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO LOOK INTO THESE PROBLEMS AND SOLVE THEM WITH NO COST TO THE OWNERS. MANY OF US NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTIES. *TR

DASH-BOARD IS LIKE LIQUID WAX. I HAD A PIECE OF PAPER ON DASHBOARD WENT TO PICK UP AND MY FINGERNAIL TOOK A CHUNK OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO VACUUM THE DUST ON IT BUT NOTHING PICKED UP, BECAUSE DUST WAS STUCK FAST AND VACUUM WAS LEAVING PERMANENT LINES ON THE DASH. EXTREMELY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND LOOKS TERRIBLE WITH ALL THE DIRT STUCK FAST. *TR

I HAVE A STICKY DASHBOARD. BESIDES PUTTING A VERY SHINY REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD, IT HAS BECOME VERY WEAK TO THE POINT THAT EVEN A TAP WITH MY FINGERNAIL REMOVES PIECES OFF. IT IS VERY CONCERNING. WHEN I QUESTIONED TOYOTA YEARS AGO THEY WERE WILLING TO CHANGE IT AT NO LABOR COST BUT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE PIECE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

FOR ABOUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW, THE DASHBOARD ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS REACTED VERY ODDLY TO THE HEAT IT ENDURES. THE DASHBOARD LOOKS LIKE IT MELTS WHEN ITS HOT OUTSIDE THEN BECOMES VERY STICKY.

ON SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2014, I STARTED MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY CHECK ENGINE AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MORNING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THE FIRST ONE I COULD GET WAS JUST OVER A WEEK AWAY. I QUESTIONED THE DEALERSHIP IF MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY SAID YES, AS LONG AS THE VSC LIGHT WASN'T BLINKING. MY CAR WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 27. I WAS TOLD MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE REPAIRS WERE AROUND $2,400 BEFORE TAXES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FROM A CHARCOAL CANISTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ANOTHER $500+. THE PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND IT WAS MAY 30 WHEN MY CAR WAS READY. WHEN QUESTIONING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT WHY MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT, THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING I HAD DONE AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OTHERS GOING OUT. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT OTHER MODELS BY TOYOTA HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. IF THE COMPANY IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN OTHER MODELS, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS FAULTY AND FAILED. AFTER SEARCHING, I ALSO FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AS WELL IN VARIOUS MODELS BY THE COMPANY. PERHAPS RESEARCH SHOULD BE DONE ON THIS ISSUE ALSO. MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP IT HAD 54,259 MILES. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY REITERATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS; THEREFORE, AT THIS POINT TOYOTA COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE REPAIR. *TR

ON APRIL 19, 2014 I PURCHASED THE ABOVE REFERENCED VEHICLE, A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY SE FROM PRINCE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN TIFTON, GEORGIA. THIS VEHICLE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION FROM ITS PREVIOUS ONE OWNER. HOWEVER, WHEN I RETURNED HOME TO ROME, GEORGIA ON APRIL 20TH, 2014 I NOTICED A TYPE OF ?STICKINESS? TO THE DASH BOARD AREA. I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK AND ON THAT TUESDAY, APRIL 22ND, MY SUPERVISOR, CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER [XXX] WANTED TO LOOK AT MY NEW CAR. I SHOWED HIM MY VEHICLE AND ALSO POINTED OUT THE STICKINESS ON THE DASH BOARD. BOTH HE AND I ASSUMED THAT SOMEONE SPILLED SOMETHING ON IT. THE STICKINESS WAS LOCATED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. ON APRIL 27TH, 2014 I DROVE MY VEHICLE ON A TRIP TO SOUTH FLORIDA TO SEE MY SISTER GRADUATE COLLEGE. WHEN I RETURNED, ON MAY 5TH I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT WASHED AND CLEAN THE INSIDE. WHILE WIPING OFF THE DASHBOARD I NOTICED THE STICKINESS AGAIN AND MY FINGERNAIL SWIPED ACROSS THE DASH AND LEFT A GASH IN THE DASHBOARD. I DO NOT HAVE LONG NAILS. I THEN BEGAN TO FEEL AROUND ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOTICED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WAS SOFT AND COULD BE EASILY DESTROYED. I THEN KNEW THAT THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING SOMEONE HAD SPILLED ON THE DASH AND REALIZED THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DASH BOARD. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH IT AND FOUND ARTICLE AFTER ARTICLE ONLINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WERE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN NAMED A ?MELTING DASHBOARD?. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER AUTO DEALER'S VEHICLES AS WELL AS TOYOTA'S. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT OTHER DEALERS HAVE REPLACED THE DASH BOARDS AND HAVE CALLED THEM DEFECTIVE. *TR

CPSC: I1440194A. 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATED AT 23,000 MILES THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED 8000 MILES LATER, THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN. TOYOTA OFFERED A PARTIAL CREDIT TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, WITH THE SAME TYPE AS A GOODWILL GESTURE. *JB

THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 23000 MILES CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND I PAID TO HAVE THEM RESURFACED. 8000 MILES LATER THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN WITH THE RESULTING SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS.CHECKING ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRODUCTS AND I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE SUBSTANDARD AND A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE ROTORS WITH QUALITY ONES AND UPGRADE THE ROTORS IN ALL CARS BUILT FROM THIS TIME ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN A LANE WHERE THE CAR SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT WHERE I DAMAGES MY BUMPER SUSPENSION AND AXEL I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT PAID THE DAMAGES OUT OF POCKET AND WHILE REPAIRED THE MECHANICS HAD NO CLUE TO THE REASON WHY THIS HAPPEN THE DID SAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

MY CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL. AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE FOR THE PAST YEAR THE OIL IN MY ENGINE WOULD DISAPPEAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THREE TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE OIL DISAPPEARING. EACH TIME, THEY WOULD TOP IT OFF WITH OIL AND TELL ME TO DRIVE IT FOR 1000 MILES AND BRING IT BACK. FINALLY, THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AND AN INSPECTOR WOULD COME OUT FROM TOYOTA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION IF MY ENGINE COULD BE REPAIRED OR IF IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT IF MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN CERTIFIED, THE COST WOULD BE MINE. THEY PAID FOR IT. THIS MARKED THE THIRD MAJOR REPAIR ON A 2010 CAMRY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 40,000. THE REAR BRAKES WERE STICKING AND THE BEARINGS IN THE FRONT WHEELS HAD TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BLOWING OUT. RIDICULOUS! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAD 39,675 MILES ON IT. THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED. AT 89,226 MILES I HAD TO HAVE MAINTENANCE ON THE WHEEL BEARING - REPLACED INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS (CUPS AND SEALS AND REPACKED WHERE NECESSARY). LEFT FRONT WHEEL. REPAIR MILEAGE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER 46,804 LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING 89,226 ENGINE REPLACE SENT PRIOR COMPLAINT. I AM SO, SO, SO, UPSET WITH TOYOTA. *TR

BRAKING WAS HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. *TR

COLD START NOISE

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN ITS FOLDED, UP POSITION AGAINST THE ROOF OF THE CAR. IT WILL FALL DOWN IMPEDING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC. NO DAMAGE OR MISUSE HAS OCCURRED AND THE VISOR IS RARELY USED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SEVERE PROBLEM WERE THE VISOR TO FALL AT AN IMPROPER TIME, E.G. WHEN A VEHICLE BREAKS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS SEEMINGLY MINOR DEFECT IS PUTTING MULTIPLE LIVES IN JEOPARDY. PLEASE REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR

WHEN DRIVE MY CAR ( 2010 CAMRY LE) I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN SET IN CRUISE MODE THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED TO THE POINT IF I AM BEHIND A CAR I COULD CRASH INTO THEM IF I DON'T HIT THE BRAKE . THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME I USE THE CRUISE. AN ACCIDENT. WAITING TO HAPPEN IF I AM NOT WATCHING CLOSE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM TEAM TOYOTA/AUTO NATION MAR. 14, 2013. IT HAD 38940 MILES. ON NOV. 9, 2013, I REAR ENDED A CAR THAT HAD STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I ATTEMPT TO STOP, AND MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I ALWAYS HAD TO BRAKE DOWN TO GET MY CAR TO STOP, AND THINKING NOW MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. MY SEATBELT NEVER LOCKED ME IN AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFER A BROKEN NOSE, 7 STITCHES AND BRUISE MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL.I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IF A PERSON TAKE THEIR CAR TO A MECHANIC AND PAY CASH FOR THEIR DAMAGE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ITS BEEN WRECK BEFORE.

MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, BUT WHEN I DO MAINTENANCE AT DRIVER'S THEY TOLD ME THE FRONT STRUTS HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR AWHILE. MY CAR ONLY 40000MILES. I DID DO MAINTENANCE. I THINK IT'S DEFECTIVE STRUTS. I ASK TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK FOR ME TOMORROW. *TR

TL - THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000. PM

I HAVE NOTICED LATELY THAT WHEN I DEPRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL, IT STARTS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND I HAVE TO DEPRESS MUCH HARDER. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES LET GO. I KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EARLIER MODELS AND THEIR BRAKES, IS IT POSSIBLE IT WOULD EXTEND TO 2012 CAMRY HYBRIDS? *TR

MY CAR HAS ONLY 42453 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES INSPECTED DUE TO ROUGH BRAKING AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL OF THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING BADLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 AND NEWER MODELS OF THE CAMRY AND I AM ALSO AWARE THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND INSPECTION AT SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND NOT ONCE HAVE THEY MENTIONED THE LEAKING STRUTS. WHEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT BRAKE SHOP THEY STATED THAT IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE LEAKING HAS GONE ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. PLEASE DO A RECALL BEFORE SEVERE DAMAGE IS DONE AND MAKE TOYOTA PAY FOR THEIR SHODDY STRUTS AND ROTORS! I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1500 FOR A MISTAKE THAT THEY MADE! EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND INVESTIGATED ONLINE WITH SAY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER AND TOYOTA IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT. PLEASE RECALL!!!! *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL AND BLOCKED MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, SINCE THEN HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. NO CD HOLD OR ANYTHING WAS OR HAS BEEN PUT ON IT. DOES NOT STAY UP WITH VELCRO, GLUE OR ANYTHING. IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND ACCORDING TO MANY REVIEWS MANY CAMRY DRIVER SIDE VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE FROM 2007-2011. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES SHOWED SIGNS OF CUPPING, FRONT ONES THE WORST. SIGNS OF LEAKING AT THE TOPS OF ALL FOUR STRUT TOWERS. TWO TIRES REPLACED BY TOYOTA DEALER. FORWARD TO 9/20/13, 22379 MILES, DEALER DID 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT, STRUTS STILL LEAKING. *TR

FRONT WHEEL DRIVER SIDE WAS MAKING NOISE EVERY TIME I DRIVE OVER THE BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD,WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT'S NORMAL JUST KEEP DRIVING ,DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO ME AND NOW I HAVE 47000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THAT STRUT IS LEAKING PRETTY BAD,TO FIX IT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 800 $.I FEEL CHEATED NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 42 MPH AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO A BRAKING FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE CONTACT. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED NOSE, BRUISING AND LACERATIONS TO THE FACE. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED FROM THE SCENE VIA AMBULANCE FOR TREATMENT OF INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO EXPLANATION WAS OFFERED AS TO WHY THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHEN HAVING MY ANNUAL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT MY STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY GIVEN BY TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,500 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THERE IS NO WAY THE STRUTS SHOULD BE LEAKING. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER IN CASE THERE IS ONE IN THE FUTURE. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, TOYOTA'S WITH LOW MILEAGE HAVING LEAKING STRUTS. I GUESS TOYOTA DOESN'T CARE AB OUT OBVIOUS PARTS DEFECTS UNTIL MULTIPLE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES DUE TO THE DEFECTS. *TR

NOTIFIED DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS USING EXCESSIVE OIL. DEALER RAN ON OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK AND DURING FIRST OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD USED 1 QT OF OIL WITHIN 1000 MILES. DEALER RAN SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION CHECK AND DETERMINED WITHIN 1000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS USED 1.2 QTS OF OIL. THE THIRD CHECK PRODUCED 0.5 QTS OF OIL LOST WITHIN 4212 MILES. DEALER FELT THAT THIS AMOUNT OF OIL LOSS WAS ACCEPTABLE. *TR

WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON RECORD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM GEAR ON THIS MODEL. VEHICLE WAS WORKED ON ONCE TO REPAIR COLD START NOISE (APROX. 10 SECONDS). FIX LASTED ABOUT A MONTH AND NOISE HAS RETURNED. SOUNDS LIKE NO OIL/LUBRICATION IS GETTING TO CAM GEAR AREA. CONCERNED THAT ENGINE MAY BECOME DAMAGED BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 CAMRY LE (4 CYLINDER), AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE SET OF FACTORY-INSTALLED TIRES, ANOTHER SET OF FOUR MICHELIN TIRES, A THIRD SET OF FOUR, AND 2 MORE TIRES AS OF 10/27/2013, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRES CURIOUSLY GO UNIFORMLY BALD ON THE FRONT IN LESS THAN 1/3RD OF THE LIFE OF THE TIRE. EACH COMPANY FROM WHICH I HAVE PURCHASED NEW MICHELIN OR BFGOODRICH TIRES FOR THIS CAMRY SAID THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES SHOULD NOT ORDINARILY BE UNIFORMLY BALD OR BE WORN OUT SO QUICKLY. THEY HAVE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE COME OUT OF THE FACTORY ALIGNED THIS WAY, SINCE THE FIRST PAIR WAS USELESS AFTER SO FEW MILES AND THE NEW TIRES ARE WEARING OUT SO QUICKLY. MOREOVER, THERE ARE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AC SYSTEM CONTROLS AND THE SENSOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW. THE AC MYSTERIOUSLY TURNS ITS RECYCLED AIR SWITCH FROM RECYCLED TO VENT (WITHOUT BEING PRESSED TO MAKE THE SWITCH) WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WILL GO NEARLY ALL THE WAY UP (WHEN PRESSED), BUT IT STOPS SHORT OF THE TOP AND THEN ROLLS ITSELF BACK DOWN. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ROBBIN'S TOYOTA SAID HIS MECHANICS COULD NOT GET THESE PROBLEMS TO RE-OCCUR WHEN DRIVEN, AND THEREFORE, HE COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT FIX THE TWO ISSUES, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. FINALLY, I CANNOT REMOVE THE OIL FILTER CANISTER FOR A HOME-OIL CHANGE. I'VE USED THE OEM FILTER CAP WRENCH, BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CANISTER HOUSING TO TURN, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE OIL FILTER AT HOME. THIS WAS THE FIRST TOYOTA I'VE OWNED, AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR STRUTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAKING OIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

SEPT.16, 2013,THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TURNED THE CAR OFF TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, I FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I CONTACTED A WRECKER AND THE CLOSEST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CAR DELIVERED FOR REPAIRS. SEPT. 17,I CALLED THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT MY CAR; I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THERE IS A HOLE IN YOUR BLOCK.I ASKED HOW COULD A CAR WITH ONLY 56K MI. THROW A ROD. HE SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW YET AND WOULD GET BACK WITH ME. SEPT.19, I PROVIDED THE DEALERSHIP WITH ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS.THEY CONTACTED TOYOTA AND CALLED ON SEPT. 20 THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE THE ENGINE TO LOOK FOR THE FAILURE. THEY STATED ONE OF TWO THINGS WERE THE CAUSE; THE CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A DEEP-WATER PUDDLE ALLOWING WATER INTRUSION INTO THE ENGINE OR A COMPONENT FAILURE. I STATED IT WASN'T EVEN RAINING HE DAY OF THE INCIDENT, HIS REPLY WAS THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SEPT.23 THEY CALLED TO INFORM ME THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED, PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AND SENT TO TOYOTA FOR REVIEW. TOYOTA'S STANCE WAS THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY. TOYOTA CLAIMS THAT AT SOMETIME I ALLOWED THE OIL LEVEL TO GET LOW, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVER HEAT AND WHICH LEAD TO THIS FAILURE. I STATED THAT WAS UTTERLY FALSE, I ROUTINELY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN THAT CAR, IT NEVER REQUIRES TOP OFF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. HE APOLOGIZED AND SAID THAT IS WHAT TOYOTA IS SAYING. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND TOYOTA HAS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ENGINE FAILURES AND THEY TEND TO PUSH BACK HONORING WARRANTY CLAIMS. IT IS SUSPICIOUS THEY DID NOT REMOVE THE VALVE COVERS TO CHECK FOR PROBABLE CAUSES IN THE HEAD AREA SINCE THAT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THESE TYPE ENGINE FAILURES. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA; COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATIONS ANDTHE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP HAVE ALSO BEEN FILED. *TR

SUN VISOR STARTED FALLING DOWN - COULD NOT MAKE IT STAY UP. MAKES IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. I FIXED IT SO IT WOULD STAY UP BUT NOW CAN'T MOVE IT DOWN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. VERY HAZARDOUS TO BE DRIVING THIS WAY. I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. DO YOU WARRANTY THIS SAFETY ISSUE??? *TR

ON 9/24/2013, I WAS AT MY WAY SISTER HOME COME FROM WORK, ABOUT TO DRIVE OFF, WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER IT SOUND IT WAS FLOOD IT SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE AND IT STILL WILL NOT START SO I CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO COME AND GET AND TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON THAT MORNING BUT IT START UP FINE, BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. LEFT IT AT THE SHOP AND THEY CALL ME THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THEY CHECK THE SENOR AS THE COMPUTER CODE TOLD THEM TO BUT IT WASN'T THE SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION THEY TOOK APART THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS TO SHOW ME THAT THE CRANKSHAFT FLY WHEEL INSIDE THE ENGINE WAS MESSED UP AND THE SENSOR WASN'T DETECTING IT ANY MORE. I HAVE 81000 MILES ON THIS 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER TAKING THE WHEEL OFF, SPEAKING TO A MECHANIC WHO WAS WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. ASK THE MECHANIC IF THIS WAS JUST A FLUKE DEAL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP HAD SEEN MANY BROKEN CRANKSHAFT ON TOYOTA'S. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN. HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN TOYOTA'S HAVE HAD TO REPORT A BROKEN CRANKSHAFT? IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BIT OF INFORMATION THAT GETS KEPT FROM CONSUMERS? TOYOTA SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT USED ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN I OPERATE MY HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY I GET A STRONG SMELL OF SULFUR IN THE CABIN OF MY CAR. I OWNED MY CAR FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. NO ONE CAN TELL ME THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION OR TURNED ON. NOTICED THE VISOR WAS DOWN WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND IT KEPT FALLING-SO FINALLY GOT IT TO STICK IN THE CLAMP SO IT WOULD NOT FALL OUT AND WITHOUT THINKING I MOVED IT TO BLOCKED THE SUN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND IT BLOCKED MY VIEW AND FELL OFF ON THIS WEEK. MY CAR MILEAGE IS AT 127,000 MILES AND I AM GOING TO CALL THE CAR DEALERSHIP ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS-IT SHOULD BE SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A DRIVING HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT MANUAL FORCE.

BLOWER MOTOR WENT BAD ON 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. DEALERSHIP SAY NO RECALL ON THIS, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS ALMOST NEVER GO OUT ESPECIALLY THE AGE OF THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO EXIT A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, TRAVELED OVER A SIDE WALK, CRASHED INTO A TREE AND FINALLY CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE STOMACH AND RIBS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AN ENGINEER WAS SENT TO INSPECT THE AIR BAG AND ACCELERATION FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING NOISES FOR A WHILE...IN THE FRONT WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING, THE OTHER NOISE IS A THUNK IN THE BACK WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP OR DOWN A DRIVEWAY. I JUST RECENTLY HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT A TOYOTA DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID MY FRONT STRUT SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. TODAY I JUST WENT TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED (I HAD TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES A WHILE BACK {AROUND 20,000 MILES} BECAUSE OF CUPPING FROM MY ORIGINAL TIRES, WHICH TOYOTA ALSO CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY) AND THEY STATED THAT I NEED ALL FOUR STRUTS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL LEAKING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA, NOT THE DEALER BUT ACTUAL TOYOTA AND I STATED THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE STRUTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT AND THAT THE NOISE DID BEGIN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE HAVING ME PAY A DEALER TO LOOK AT THE STRUTS AND QUOTE A PRICE IF THEY "FEEL" THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. BUT THE ADVISOR IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NORMAL LEAKING ON STRUTS AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT FIRESTONE IS REFERRING TO. SO I ALREADY FEEL THAT THEY ARE GOING TO STATE THAT IT IS "NORMAL" LEAKAGE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE PLACED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO GO ROUND AND ROUND WITH THE ISSUE SINCE THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MANY ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEAK HEARD FROM THE FRONT END AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE STRUT WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT I CAN STILL DRIVE CAR AS LONG AS IT IS NOT BLINKING. MY SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS FOR NEXT DAY THURSDAY THE 12TH. WHILE ON HIGHWAY CAR LOST ALL POWER STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING. A HUGE TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND WAS BEEPING TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO PULL CAR TO SIDE IF HIGHWAY AND CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. I WAITED 5 MIN AND THE CAR STATED AND I MANAGED TO GET HOME. THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN DOES NOT BRAKE WELL, IT FEELS LIKE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE WELL AND THE CAR JUMPS. YOU CANNOT CONTROL. I AM BRINGING TO TOYOTA TODAY TO GET THE RESULTS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS LEFT STREAKS ON WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE HARDLY VISIBLE IN SNOW AND SOME HEAVY RAIN DRIVES SIDE BARELY DOES THE JOB EVEN AFTER REPLACING WITH NEW WIPER BLADES . SUN VISORS BOTH QUITE HOLDING POSITION DRIVER'S SIDE FIRST THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE A WEEK LATER HAD TO REMOVE DRIVES SIDE IT BROKE OFF OF PIVOT PIN AND WAS HANGING DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY . VERY UNSAFE APPEARS PART FAILED INSIDE VISOR. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY SHIFTING GEARS, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT SPEED UNDER 40 MPH WITHOUT COMPLETE CONCENTRATION ON THROTTLE OR BY UTILIZING CRUISE CONTROL. GAS PEDAL IS HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND ANY SMALL INCREASE IN DEPRESSION OF PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD. VEHICLE FAILS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND DECELERATES RAPIDLY WHEN GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED. COMPUTER MEMORY HAS BEEN REFLASHED TWICE BY DEALER WITH NO RESOLUTION. IN MY 50 YEARS ON THE ROAD, THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND AGGRAVATING VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION COMBINATION ON THIS MODEL IS NOT DESIGNED CORRECTLY AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WARNING: HOOD OPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND FACTORY THEFT DETERRENT SECURITY SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, INTERMITTENTLY ALARM GOES OFF (EVEN WHEN REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT WITHIN RANGE AND NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY IS ATTEMPTED). SIMILAR TO T-SB-0171-11 AND T-SB-0208-10 VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A FACTORY THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM MAY EXHIBIT A CONDITION WHERE THE SECURITY HORN IS INAPPROPRIATELY TRIGGERED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DISTURBED. A REVISED HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY (WITH INTERNAL COMPONENT SWITCH) HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR VISOR WAS PULLED TO "DOWN" POSITION, BUT THE HINGE BROKE LEAVING THE VISOR HANGING AND OBSTRUCTING DRIVERS VIEW. VISOR HAD TO BE TAPPED TO THE HEAD LINER TO ALLOW DRIVER TO OPERATE SAFELY. *TR

TIRE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THAT ALL FOUR SHOULD BE REPLACED. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER (CAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), WHERE DEALER SAID HE WOULD REPLACE ONLY LEFT FRONT STRUT, AND THAT SOME LEAKING WAS ACCEPTABLE (MANUFACTURER'S POLICY). STRUT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNED, AS IS IMPORTANT WHENEVER STRUTS ARE REPLACED. ALSO, IT'S NOT GOOD PRACTICE TO REPLACE ONLY ONE STRUT--NO ONE REPLACES ONLY ONE TIRE (OR ON OLDER CARS, ONE SHOCK ABSORBER) FOR THE SAME REASON--IT CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS IMBALANCE. TOYOTA'S LEAKING STRUT POLICY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAMRY NEW AND AT 40K MILES, THREE OF MY STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT CONNECT. CANNOT RISK PASSENGERS, GLAD I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION, AND WAS TOLD 3 OUT OF 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I EXPECT TOP QUALITY FROM TOYOTA AND AM VERY DISPLEASED BY THIS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INVEST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON-ROUTINE SERVICE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN, AND I WILL VOICE MY CONCERNS TO EVERYONE I KNOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED UNINTENDED UNTIL CRASHING INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND SEVERAL BUSHES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION IN THE ABDOMEN AND THE SHOULDER FROM THE SEAT BELT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS NOT PERFORMED BY A DEALER OR A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ABNORMAL ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL), FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INCLUDED AND WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY CAR CAN'T ACCELERATE AND WHEN I TRY MY CAR KICK BACK AND FORTH PLUS IT ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. *TR

VEHICLE STRUTS, ALL 4 ARE LEAKING. DEALER WOULD ONLY REPLACE 1 STRUT AND STATED LEAKING STRUTS ARE NORMAL. EVIDENCE OF PENDING STRUT FAILURE IS THE RAPID DETERIATION OF THE TIRES ON ALL 4 WHEELS. INDEPENDENT GARAGE CONFIRMED STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON CAMRY PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SOMETIME IN 2012 FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE STRUTS/SHOCKS WERE LEAKING OIL AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENCE MECHANIC THAT THE STRUTS OIL LEAKING PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON TO THE NEWER CAMRY (2010 MODEL) AND IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOKE THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED THE STRUTS, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS "NORMAL OIL EVAPORATION" SO THE STRUTS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHEN OIL IS LEAKED OUT OF A "O RING" FROM STRUT CASING/HOUSING, IT IS A LEAK, AND IT IS NOT "NORMAL EVAPORATION". IS TOYOTA PLAYING GAME WORD GAME ("NORMAL EVAPORATION") TO AVOID WARRANTY COVER TO IT CUSTOMERS (BECAUSE TOO MANY 2010 CARS HAVING OIL LEAKING PROBLEM)? WOULD IT BE A SAFETY ISSUE LATER ON? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,760. *TR

DURING A SHORT TRIP THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THE LIGHT APPEARED, WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO TOYOTA 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS. THE RESPONSE IS THAT WHILE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR PASSENGERS SHOULD FIRST SIT IN THE CAR AND BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT BEFORE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. I HAVE CONTACT THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER AND WHILE THEY FIRST AGREED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL THEY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICIAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT MOVEMENT OF A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT CAN CAUSE THE (MALFUNCTION) SRS LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I HAVE ASKED WHY THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST 3-1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND DON'T GET ANY ANSWER. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE SRS LIGHT CAN COME ON WHILE ON AN EXTENDED TRIP AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR

I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. SHOT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FLEW INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AND TREE. THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BUT MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THANK GOD FOR MY SEAT BELT. I TRULY DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH THE TYPE OF IMPACT AND THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED, BUT ALLSTATE TOTALED MY CAR AS THEY SAID AT LEAST $11,000 WORTH DAMAGES WERE DONE. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I35 IN KANSAS. HAD CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 78 MPH. HE INDICATED SPEED STATED TO INCREASE ON AN UPHILL SEGMENT AND SPEED REACH ~ 100 MPH ON DOWN HILL SIDE BEFORE HE BRAKE AND REGAINED CONTROL OF VECHILE. *TR CAR WAS ACQUIRED IN OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2009.

I ENTERED A PARKING SPOT AND WAS MOVING SLOWLY TOWARD PARKING LOT'S WALL AT THE MINIMAL SPEED JUST ABOVE ZERO (0) MPH, SUDDENLY CAR INCREASED A SPEED IN A SECOND ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A PARKING LOT WALL - SHORT DISTANCE & SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION DIDN'T ALLOW TIME TO PRESS THE BRAKES. CAR'S WHOLE FRONT IS DAMAGED: HOOD, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD GLASS (BROKEN BY MY HEAD), RADIATOR AND BUMPER. ALSO, AFTER THE CRUSH SMOKE/STEAM WAS COMING OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR JAMED. I SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY AS A RESULT THAT AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY BODY WAS PROJECTED INTO A WINDSHIELD. *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAMRY BOUNCING, SWAYING, PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR AXLES SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PULSING OR ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA IS NOT REPORTING THE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. BRAKE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATING AND TOYOTA ASSURED ME MY CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED BUT THE DEALER FIRST BLAMED THE TIRES AND BALANCING. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE LOUD SNOW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SERVICE SPECIALIST. THEY BLAMED IT ON TIRE NOISES AND SAID THE SEE YOU IN THE SPRING WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TIRES AND THEY SPECIALIST SAID YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. I CHANGED THE TIRES TWO DAYS LATER AND RETURNED ON MONDAY. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND SAID NOTHING BUT THEY WILL BE TALKING THE TOYOTA SPECIALIST. I HEARD NOTHING FOR A WEEK AND I HAD TO CALL THEM ON AGAIN ON MONDAY (TODAY). THE SERVICE MANAGERS SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MAILING OVER THE WEEKEND. I KNEW THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WERE HIDING SOMETHING. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A SECOND TOYOTA DEALER AS THE SPECIALIST RECOMMEND. THE SECOND DEALER ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUES BEFORE I GOT THERE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE MY CAR, NOT A MECHANIC TEST, AND ALSO BLAMED THE SNOW TIRES. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO ASKING WHAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE CLOSER TO HOME FOR ME. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA AND OPENED TWO CASES. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF THE CLASSES AND OTHER INFORMATION, THEY SAID THAT WAS FOR IN-HOUSE USE ONLY AND I COULD NOT HAVE THE INFO. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2010 CAMRY INTO TOYOTA FOR THEM TO CHECK OUT MY STRUTS. I WAS INFORMED THEY WERE LEAKING WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES DONE. TOYOTAS MECHANIC AND SERVICE REP BOTH AGREED ALL 4 STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO LEAKAGE AND THEY BOTH ALSO AGREED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ALL 4 STRUTS GO AT THE SAME TIME AND AT A LOW MILEAGE (39K). I CHECKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS, AS WELL AS OTHER CAR DEALERSHIPS (NOT TOYOTA), AND ALL AGREED....4 STRUTS NEEDING REPLACING AT 39K WAS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! OF COURSE, MY WARRANTY RAN OUT APPROX. 6MONTHS AND 3K MILES AGO. I AM SURE THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING THEN, BUT I WASN'T MADE AWARE UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. TOYOTA OFFERED TO HELP WITH THE COST ,BUT THE TOTAL BILL IS SO HIGH IT IS JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET. I FEEL THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE ALL 4 STRUTS AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I AM A REPEAT TOYOTA OWNER AND BOUGHT THE CAMRY BECAUSE IT IS KNOWN AS BEING RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE. NOW TOYOTA WON'T BACK UP THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES ONLINE ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTAS STRUTS. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO CORRECT A PROBLEM WHICH BRINGS THEM NEGATIVE PUBLICITY, BUT I GUESS THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR...EVEN AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS AND RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THEIR REPUTATION HAS GONE DOWNHILL FAST. ITS A SHAME...THINKING ABOUT GOING WITH A HONDA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. THE FAILURE MADE IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT THAT CONNECTED TO THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE STREET AND BRAKING AT AROUND 15 MPH I NOTICED A CREAKING NOISE. THE NOISE CONTINUED WHILE BRAKING, AND GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND UNEVEN PAVEMENTS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN TOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE BODY STRUCTURE WAS MESSED UP. THE (A-PILLAR) WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN FRAME. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP TO BE WELDED, THEY ALSO SAID AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK SAYING IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE 2007-2011 TOYOTA MODELS. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON NEW YEARS EVE 2012 I LOST CONTROL OF MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WENT OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND SUFFERED IMMEDIATELY NOTICABLE INJURIES TO MY FACE, ARMS, CHEST AND KNEES. THE POLICE SAID I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT, NO MATTER WHAT! ON TOP OF THAT, THE DINGER THAT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NO SEATBELT ON IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALONE WOULD CAUSE ME TO PUT IT ON. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO A DINGER FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND NOT PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CLIPPED ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE DINGER BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOCK BECAUSE MY INJURIES INDICATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRUISING OR MARKS FROM A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD HAD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH A SEALTBELT THAT WORKED AND AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WHERE THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE FIRST WAS A REAREND THAT SHOVED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AFTER INSURANCE LOOKED AT THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. *TR

SINCE THE PAST 60 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN A POPPING, CREAKING AND METAL FLEXING NOISE EMANATING FROM THE ROOF PANEL ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED WHEN CROSSING OVER ANY UNEVEN PAVEMENT SURFACE, THE NOISE BEGAN AT 40,000 MILES, 4000 MILES AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TOYOTA MODELS ESPECIALLY THE CAMRY AND HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE MODEL YEAR 2007 WITH SUN/MOON ROOF INSTALLATIONS, ON CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO THE SUNROOF FRAME/GUIDE RAILS/INSULATION AND HAVE REPAIRED IT ON IT NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALL BEING UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ON MY VEHICLE I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, ON CONTACTING TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, PER MY RESEARCH THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED IN SOME CASES TO THE SUNROOF SHATTERING CAUSING A MAJOR DRIVING AND HEALTH HAZARD AND POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURIES FROM COLLISIONS AND/OR CUTS FROM SHATTERING GLASS. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SUN/MOON ROOF AND REFUSE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CLAIMING EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY.

ON JANUARY 18, 2010 MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY, SE MODEL FROM ARLINGTON TOYOTA, JACKSONVILLE, FL. A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, TOYOTA COMPANY RECALLED THIS VEHICLE MODEL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR GETS JAMMED ON THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA CAMRY TO ARLINGTON TOYOTA ON JULY 8, 2010 TO RESOLVE THE RECALL PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. ON JUNE 27, 2012, ABOUT 7:00 P.M., MY WIFE AND I WENT TO TIRE PLUS CAR CARE, JUST WEST OF HODGES BLVD ON ATLANTIC BLVD AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVE. MY WIFE AND I WERE APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AS SHE WAS SLOWLY PARKING, AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40 ? 50 MILES AN HOUR HITTING THE CURB, THE TREE AND IRRIGATION PIPE ON THE MOUND OF LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AT HOME, AFTER WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE TO TIRE PLUS TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES ON MY CAR, I DISCUSSED THE ACCIDENT SCENARIO WITH MY WIFE. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PARKING AND SHE FIRMLY SAID NO. HER REACTION TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BEING SO CLOSE TO THE PARKING CURB, WAS TO STOP THE CAR AND THEREFORE SHE WOULD HAVE JUST HIT THE BRAKE FIRMLY AS HER RIGHT FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TURNED-IN TO RESOLVE THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ON THE FLOOR-MAT MAY STILL HAVE PROBLEM OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AND ESCALATE OUR EXPERIENCE SO WE COULD HOPEFULLY WARN OTHER OWNERS AND HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY OCCUR TO CONSUMERS BY A RECALLED VEHICLE THAT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE. *TR

THE DRIVER/FRONT SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MOUNTING BRACKETS. THE DRIVER/FRONT VISOR HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED FORCEFULLY AND DEFECTIVENESS OF PART(S) SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA AS TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT THROUGH A TECH BULLETIN: T-SB-0284-09 AUGUST 21, 2009 SUNVISOR MOUNT LOOSE FOR 2007-2010 CAMRY. PER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AS MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36K MILE WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RE: THIS DEFECT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO REQUEST A FIX UNTIL MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED 36K MILES. ALSO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT TOYOTA AT 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 30K AND 36K MILES AND AT NO POINT WAS I INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS BROKEN SUNVISOR IS A SAFETY RISK AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES, MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. THEN I HAD MY 2009 CAMRY INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AT 60,000 MILES THE STRUTS WERE ALSO LEAKING. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED ON THE 2010 CAMRY, THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT BEGAN TO LEAK SEVERE TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HAVING 800 MILES AND A MONTH OF USE ON THE NEW STRUT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY STRUTS AND THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN ON OF THE CARS. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED MORE THAN INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 05/15/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE ON A TRIP.

I PURCHASED A CAMRY IN JANUARY 2010, AND 2 YEARS LATER I NEED NEW TIRES. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THIS COULD BE NORMAL, BUT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED 2 OTHER NEW CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO BUY TIRES. THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF MY TIRE IS COMPLETELY BALD. I REGULARLY ROTATE MY TIRES AND GET THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHEN DRIVING BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE ABOUT MY SITUATION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT BECAUSE A WORKER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THE CAMRY'S THAT HE HAS SEEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THERE WAS A RAPID INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

ALL FOUR WHEEL STRUTS HAVE FAILED ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AT 33,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO HARD DRIVING OR ABUSE ABUSE OF VEHICLE. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES DUE TO THE CRASH. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS PENDING AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

IN LATE 2009, I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 CAMRY HYBRID. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. I HAVE JUST HAD TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AFTER 2.5 YEARS AND ONLY 19,700 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES WERE 4/32 AND RIGHT AT THE WEAR MARK, THE REAR AT 6/32. THE WORN TIRE TREADS BECAME EVIDENT WITH THE FIRST CHICAGO SNOW. AT 10 MILES PER HOUR, I WAS SLIDING AS I DROVE HOME AND, AT ONE POINT, HAD TO SKID INTO A CURB IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO AS NOT TO SLIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN A CROWDED INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR) TO COMPLAIN. HE TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE GUARANTEED FOR FIVE YEARS BUT HAD NO ESTIMATED MILEAGE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. I ALSO CONTACTED ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE TIRES LAST NO MORE THAN 25,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH A BRIDGESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD 40,000 MILES. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL ON MY CAR REGULARLY AND ALSO HAD MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY SIX MONTHS (MY CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE TO DATE). IT IS EVIDENT THAT BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES DO NOT MEET EVEN THE MINIMUM ENDURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

STARTED CAR AND TACHOMETER SHOWED APROX 3000 RPM THEN WENT TO IDLE IT LUNGED FORWARD IF I DID MOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHO INSPECTED AND REALIGNED THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD GIVE HIM A RETURN CALL BUT THE CONTACT HAD YET TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,050.

BOUGHT 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY NEW. WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON ODOMETER TOOK BACK TO LOCAL DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR NOW HAS 20,000 MILES, AND AFTER THIRD VISIT TO LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALL THEY SAY IS BAD TIRES AND TOYOTA DOES NOT WARRANT TIRES. FILED COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND COMPANY SAYS SAME THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED AND BLOCKED THE VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VISOR WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES. THE CONTACT FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VISOR KEPT HIM FROM HAVING A CLEAR FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,683.

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEATING SYSTEM OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY, I GET THIS FOUL SULFUR SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY RAN TESTS ON IT BUT SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE SMELL THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. THUS FAR TOYOTA HAS WRITTEN IT OFF TO THE SULFUR LEVELS IN THE FUEL, YET I OWN A TOYOTA COROLLA AS WELL AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SMELL HAPPENS AFTER THE FUEL IS BURNED AND PASSED THROUGH THE CATALYST CONVERTER, BUT I'M WORRIED THAT SEPARATE SYSTEMS -- THE HEATING AND THE PROCESS OF BURNING FUEL -- CROSS TOGETHER TO BRING THAT SMELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS BIG TOYOTA RECALL AND HOW THEY TRIED TO BRUSH THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG, BUT I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. THAT IS UNLESS NHTSA IS WILLING TO LET PEOPLE INHALE SUCH NOXIOUS AND POSSIBLY TOXIC FUMES. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN I REACHED 70 MPH WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE VERY BADLY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE TIRES AND THAT THE STEEL MESH WAS COMING THROUGH MY TWO FRONT TIRES AND THAT IF I DIDN'T GET NEW TIRES IMMEDIATELY IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I COULD EXPERIENCE A BLOWOUT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. I ENDED UP GETTING 2 NEW TIRES, AND MY 2 BACK TIRES WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON AS THEY WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE WORE OUT AT A LOW MILEAGE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE PAD SUFFERED FROM CORROSION DUE TO HEAVY SALT USE ON THE ROADS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE ALL REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE PAD. THE BRAKE PAD ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WAS THEN REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,130. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON JULY 28 2011. I WAS IN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVING 40-45MILES AND A FORD F150 PICK-UP TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE TRUCK ON ITS SIDE CAUSING IT TO FILP OVER. MY CAMRY SUSTAINED SEVERE FRONTAL DAMAGE THAT IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE OFFICERS, FIRE DEPT AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WERE ALL AMAZED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED CONSIDERING THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THE BODY SHOP THAT THE CAR WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO MENTIONED THAT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE FAULTY SENSORS THAT PREVENTED THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING. *TT

DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY AND PLACE SUN VISOR IN DIRECTION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO BLOCK SUN ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE AND THE SUN VISOR POPS OUT OF PLACE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. CURRENTLY THE VISOR IS EITHER ALWAYS DOWN BLOCKING THE UPPER PORTION OF VIEW OR POINTING DIRECTLY IN FACE IF ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK SUN ON DRIVERS LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE. THE FAILURE IS ONGOING, AND WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS A NEW VISOR IS SUPPLIED. CONSEQUENCES OF THIS FAILURE INCLUDE: BLOCKED VISION WITH THE INABILITY TO SEE UPPER PORTION OF WINDSHIELD, FAILURE TO SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SUN TO SHINE BRIGHTLY IN EYES CAUSING VISION IMPAIRMENT. *KB

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY DRIVER VISOR, TOTALLY CAME OFF AND WAS JUST HANGING. I NEVER GENERALLY EVEN USE THE VISOR AND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED MY $150.00. MY HUSBAND DRIVES HIS 3RD FORD AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY OF THIS HAPPEN. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR A REASON AND SO FAR ALL I HAVE IS ISSUES. *TR

MY SISTER OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE, BOUGHT AS A NEW CAR, NOT USED. ON SATURDAY, JULY 16, 2011, SHE WAS RIDING AS A PASSENGER IN HER CAR WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR, NEITHER HER SIDE AIRBAGS OR FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE ER AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE SHE HAD SUFFERED INJURIES AND WAS IN PAIN. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS A TOTAL LOSS, HOWEVER, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. *KB

I OWNED 2010 CAMRY LE AND WHEN IT REACHED APPROX. 30,000 MILES WARRANTY THE FRONT BRAKE STARTED VIBRATING AND I FELT L LIKE THE WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OFF WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES FROM HIGH SPEED AND GOING DOWNHILL. I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC BUT I KNEW IT WAS A WARP BRAKE ROTOR. I HAD THE ROTOR TURNED AND THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.I THINK IT IS VERY PREMATURE FOR A BRAKE ROTOR TO FAIL AT 30,000 MILES AND MOST ESPECIALLY FOR A CAMRY. I WAS BIT SURPRISE WHEN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY MILEAGE. ALL ALONG I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS 36MOS/36000 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BUT I WAS WRONG, SO NO MORE TOYOTA NEXT TIME AND NOT RECOMMENDING TOYOTA TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. *TR

MY CAR JERKS AT LOW SPEEDS DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE FROM WORK. THE MOVEMENT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND YOU CAN FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR (2010) WITH 25, 584 MILES BUT IT DRIVES VERY ROUGH AS IF ITS AN OLDER CAR. TRANSITION FROM LOW SPEEDS IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL. TYPICALLY, THIS SURGE OCCURS ONLY BETWEEN THE SPEED RANGE OF 0-45/50 MPH. RPM GAUGE DRASTICALLY JUMPS OR INCREASES, THEN FALLS BACK DOWN MOMENTARILY. AND IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING IN CITY OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BEFORE COMING TO A STOP BUT WHILE DRIVING ON SPEED LIMIT ON HIGHWAY IT IS FINE. THE CAR SHIFT/JUMPS SPORADICALLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD A LITTLE BIT AND CAUSING DELAY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND THEY KEEP INSISTING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ON TWO SEPARATE TEST DRIVES WITH DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE EVENT. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN RECREATE WHILE IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE TECH HAS TO BE ABLE TO FEEL THE HARSH SHIFTING TRANSITION HIM/HER SELF. A SHIFTING RE-CALIBRATION HAS BEEN PERFORMED ONCE ON THE CAR BUT THE JERKING HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOLLOWING THE TEST. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAVE BOUGHT AND I COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA. THE REASON I BOUGHT A TOYOTA IS BECAUSE I WANTED A RELIABLE AND SMOOTH CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY AND I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE BEEN INSULTED BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND THEIR LIST OF CAUSE FACTORS RANGING FROM POSSIBLY BECAUSE I DRIVE IN HEELS, TO HAVING A/C TURNED ON, TO THE CAR ONLY PROVIDING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. IT IS ALL A BUNCH OF EXCUSES, I WISH THEY WOULD ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN AND BE A NUISANCE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 07/20/11*LJ

1. THE CAR HAD A FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ACCORDING TO: THE REPAIR SHOP, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR AND TOYOTA INDEPENDENT INSPECTION. BASICALLY A BOLT THAT SECURES THE HOSE TO THE CALIPER WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE OIL TO LEAK AND THE BRAKES TO FAIL. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS NO NEGLIGENCE OF MAINTAINING THE CAR SINCE THE CAR IS NEW - ONLY ABOUT 4,000 MILES -AND SERVICED ONLY AT THE DEALER ACCORDING TO SERVICE SCHEDULE.

ON FRIDAY, 25 MARCH, 2011 AT ABOUT 4 PM, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN DECELERATION EVENT ON OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE MADE A RIGHT TURN & IN ABOUT A HALF MILE, THE CAMRY SUDDENLY SLOWED TO LESS THAN 10 MPH FROM ABOUT 40 MPH. SHE PULLED INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT TO THE RIGHT AND SHUT OFF THE CAMRY. SHE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR. SHE SAID THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. SHE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND DROVE A LITTLE IN THE PARKING LOT, THE 2 DASH LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT IT WAS DRIVING OK. SHE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY APPROXIMATELY 5 MORE MILES TO OUR HOME. I ARRIVED SOON & I CHECKED THE CODES WITH MY DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, AND THE ECU WAS SHOWING AN ACTIVE P0121 (THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A, CIRCUIT RANGE PERFORMANCE). SO WE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO ATLANTA TOYOTA, 2345 PLEASANT HILL ROAD, DULUTH, GA 30096. DURING THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. I REPORTED THE CODE P0121 TO THE SERVICE REP, AND THE DRIVING SYMPTOMS. THE NEXT DAY (SATURDAY, 26 MARCH 2011) ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME REPORTING THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE ECU. I REPEATED THE CODE THAT I HAD READ. THE REP STATED THEY WOULD CHECK AGAIN. AGAIN ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME, STATING NO CODES FOUND, AND THEY HAD TEST DRIVEN THE CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK TIME HAD CHANGED ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND ALL THE RADIO PRESETS WERE GONE, AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED.I INQUIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP REP SAID THE BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED.MY CONCERN IS THIS TOYOTA MAY HAVE REPROGRAMMED MY CAR DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION ISSUE, (HENCE THE CLOCK & RADIO CHANGES), AND THEY ARE NOT BEING FORTHCOMING REGARDING REPAIRS. ALL THEY WILL SAY IS, THERE WERE NO CODES.

POWER STEERING BELT BROKE AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BEGINNING TO PICK UP SPEED. CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME (4 MILES) WITH LIMITED STEERING CONTROL. NEXT DAY, HAD CAR TOWED IN TO TOYOTA DEALER.
