TORQUE CONVERTER, (UPON ACCELERATION VEHICLE DELAY IN ACCELERATING/SHIFTING AND ABNORMAL HEAVY VIBRATION/SHUDDERING FELT ), I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE LANE A FEW TIMES, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE/SHIFTING CORRECTLY/DELAYED,(MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE), TOOK THE VEHCILE TO TOYOTA DEALER, SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN, WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM, DID SOME READING/RESEARCH ONLINE ALOT OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING TOYOTA TURNING A BLIND EYE WHEN IT COME TO THIS SPECIFIC CONCERN ( TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDERING) THEY GIVING CUSTOMER THE RUNNING AROUND,NO WARNING LAMP ON WHEN PROBLEM OCCUR.

I was driving down the freeway going home from work at 9:30PM at night and all of the sudden, there was a loud pop from above my head when driving. It sounded like it came from the roof of my vehicle. When I pulled over, there was a big hole in the glass of the sun roof and the glass was completely shattered. Because of the way the glass shatters, I had to remove as much of the glass as I could to ensure that none of it would fly off the vehicle and hit vehicles driving behind me. I don't believe there was any prior damage to the sun roof that would have caused this to happen as I don't ever use the sun roof to begin with.

There is an accumulation of water underneath the seat of the back side where rear seated passengers would place their feet.

Clicking noise in steering (damper for caused by a small plastic part which is defectively designed, and disintegrates). This is a very common defect in 2011-2017 Toyota Camrys. The part is only about $5, but labor is $750 because the whole steering assembly has to be taken apart. My Camry started making the rattling noise when it had 40,000 miles. The noise is getting progressively worse and may cause steering issues eventually. I have not had it fixed yet. See part # below, and see youtube videos on the issue, which is very common. Steering.

My car had a recall in 2014 for the torque converter per Toyota. My car was taken in for the recall at which a software update was performed per Freedom Toyota. Recently in June i went to pull out into traffic and my car began to shudder at about 25 mph. Which could have caused a major accident. I contacted toyota dealership which is now Heritage toyota and they scheduled a diagnostic test. Which they charged me $99 for. Called me to tell me the torque converter had gone out and it would be $2246 to repair eventhough i told them this was a previous recall?? On all things i have researched they are to cover repairs as long as car is under 100,000 miles or 10years old. I purchased this car brand new in January of 2013.

I learned after purchasing a 2012 Toyota Camry that there was a problem with the Torque Converter. The owner who sold me the car would not acknowledge the problem. Toyota had a recall on the car torque converter but I learned from Toyota it has expired. I was sold this car from U Drive Motors in HIckory, NC on June 10, 2021. I paid $11,000 for the car and the torque converter estimate that I got from Toyota is $1800. When I go down the street there is a shuddering sound and the car hesitates which is a safety hazard if a car is behind me. Since the owner of U-Drive will not take care of the problem would you please ask Toyota to assist. I am a cancer survivor and on a fixed income. The warranty company MVP would not take care of the problem because there was a pre-existing condition and they said the owner of U-Drive knew of the problem prior to selling me the car. I appreciate any assistance you can provide me with contacting Toyota to obtain assistance. Also, Toyota of Hickory, NC recommended a torque converter and a transmission specialist.

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while attempting to accelerate at any speed, the vehicle shuddered and hesitated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who confirmed that there was a recall regarding the transmission however, the recall had since expired. The failure continued and the contact learned that the failure may be due to a defective torque converter. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the recall had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. The car continues to get worse, terrible vibration/shaking & hesitates while driving & accelerating. In fear of being hit from behind or being stranded on the road. Please assist. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed the vehicle would shudder. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times and the failure was not diagnosed correctly. The contact then took the vehicle to Putnam Toyota (50 California Dr. Burlingame, CA 94010) where the failure was diagnosed as the torque converter. The contact stated that he was informed by the dealer and the manufacturer that the vehicle was outside of the extended warranty coverage mileage of 150,000. The contact was upset that the vehicle was no longer covered under the torque converter extended warranty since he had taken the vehicle to One Toyota of Oakland several times for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD DUE TO PANDEMIC NEVER TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR RATTLING HAS INCREASED AND IN ANY BAD ROAD IS CONSTANT SO IN HIGHWAYS WHEN DRIVING. SEE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE ON INTERNET AND A YOU TUBE VIDEO SHOWS HOW TO REPAIR IT.

MY 2012 CAMRY SE 4 CYLINDER HAS AN ISSUE WITH ITS TORQUE CONVERTER. MY CAR SHUDDERS AND HAS A DELAY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IS KNOWN BY TOYOTA. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED AND QUOTED BY TOYOTA FOR THIS ISSUE 17 MONTHS AGO. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE $3000 QUOTE AT THAT TIME. I FOUND OUT LAST WEEK THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE! I CALL TOYOTA ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS FROM 4TH TO 5TH.

I HAD TROUBLE STARTING MY CAR, SO I RECEIVED A JUMP. MY CAR STARTED UP JUST FINE AND WAS DRIVING NORMALLY. AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES, I HAD NOTICED THE EPS LIGHT POP UP ON MY DASH. AT THAT POINT, MY CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. I HAD TO PULL THE WHEEL HARD TO CHANGE LANES A D EVEN HARDER TO BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY TURNS. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS IN MY DASH IT UP, AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AT THAT POINT OR TURN THE WHEEL. I RECEIVED A JUMP START AGAIN, AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. THE CAR DROVE NORMAL FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT AGAIN. THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED, AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON A MAJOR ROAD EITHER TIME THAT IT HAD DIED.

INTERNAL TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE SHUDDERING IN 2ND GEAR. THIS IS A RECALL FOR MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WHICH A TOYOTA REPERSENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL EXPIRED ON THE 11TH OF JANUARY 2021...

AS I AM PULLING OFF, THE CAR HESITATES WHEN I GET TO ABOUT 20 MPH. TOYOTA TOLD ME IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN PLACE TO HAVE IT FIXED BUT THAT IT HAD EXPIRED IN OCTOBER 2020. I DID NOT START HAVING ISSUE UNTIL THE END OF NOVEMBER 2020 AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF LETTER OR NOTICE THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE I NEEDED TO GET TAKEN CARE OF BY OCTOBER 2020.

HOW TOYOTA IS GETTING AROUND REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER: TOYOTA ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BY ISSUING IN OCTOBER 2014 LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN E03 TO ONLY UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THEN THE NEXT MONTH IN NOVEMBER 2014 START MAILING LETTERS TO THE CUSTOMER SAYING WE HAVE JUST ISSUED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE5 TO DO THREE THINGS, PUT IN A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER, ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION PAN MAGNETS, AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THIS PUTS BOTH LSC E03 AND WEN ZE5 IN PLAY AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I RECEIVED MY LETTER FOR WEN ZE5 IN THE MAIL. I CALL AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR WEN ZE5 AND IN GOOD FAITH WALK INTO MY LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRINCIPAL TOYOTA MEMPHIS, TN IN MARCH OF 2015 WITH MY WEN ZE5 LETTER IN MY HAND AND SAY I AM HERE TO GET WEN ZE5 TAKEN CARE OF. IN GOOD FAITH I PICK UP MY CAR THINKING THAT WEN ZE5 HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. HOWEVER, IT TURNS OUT THAT WHAT WAS DONE WAS LSC E03 AND NOT WEN ZE5(REPLACE TORQUE CONVERTER). RECENT SERVICE REPORT ATTACHED: CAR NOW NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION.

WHEN THE SEATBELT GETS PUSHED INTO THE BUCKLE IT DOES NOT SECURE NOR STAY LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND I WENT TO TRAVEL AND THE BUCKLE DOES NOT LATCH AT ALL.

THE CENTER ELECTRONIC 6 FUNCTION ETUNE CONSOLE, WHICH CONTAINS THE RADIO/CD PLAYER, GPS, CAR AND CELL PHONE OPERATIONS, DIED ON NOV 16, 2020. I MADE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK IT TO DAYTONA TOYOTA THE NEXT DAY. THE TECH DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME THAT THE RADIO UNIT WAS FRIED. SM SAID A REPLACEMENT UNIT WOULD COST $827. I AGREED. I DROVE MY CAR HOME AND NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAD REVIVED, BUT THE ONLY THING IN THE LCD PANEL WAS THE STATION # IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF SCREEN. NO OTHER FUNCTION WORKED AND I NOTICED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL STEREO/MODE CONTROLS DID NOT WORK. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK 4 DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE RADIO REPLACED AND TOLD THEM THAT THE OLD RADIO AM/FM HAD BEEN WORKING, BUT NONE OF THE OTHER FUNCTIONS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTION BUTTONS DID NOT WORK. THE TECH DID A 2ND DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BECOME TWISTED AND SOME OF THE CONNECTORS PULLED LOOSE. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $650 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS. THEY ORDERED THE PART AND REPLACED IT TWO DAYS LATER. HAS ANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNER REPORTED THIS PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THERE WERE SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATIONS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

I WAS BRAKING ON TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT? BUT INSTEAD OF BRAKING IT WAS LIKE I HAD HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I KEPT STOMPING THE BREAK BUT IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN ONLY ACCELERATED. THE CAR WENT UP OVER THE CURB INTO A METAL FENCE AND ALMOST HIT A BRICK WALL. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH ANY CAR I'VE EVER HAD AND I'VE HAD QUITE A FEW TOYOTA'S AND A LOT OF THEM HAVE BEEN CAMRYS.

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IN FOR THE REPAIR ON MY SWAY BARS AND I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE IN/NEAR MY STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT REPLACE BUT THE RATTLING NOISE WAS THERE AND WAS GETTING WORSE. I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION AND HE SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND GET OVERLY ANXIOUS WHEN I DRIVE BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET TO AT LEAST 30 MPH IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO COME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID FOR ME TO BRING IT BACK IN BUT THEY HAVE TRIED TO DIAGNOSIS THREE TIMES. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I ALSO HAD THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER STRUT AND SHOCK, AND MOUNT ASSEMBLY REPAIRED.

I I TRIED TO USE MY FOREVER WARRANTY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT NO HELP. AT 165000 MY CAR HAS BEGIN TO SHUDDER AT 35, 45, 55 MPH INTERVALS , ANYWHERE THE CAR IS DRIVEN.

20-40 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE/ HESITATION/ACCELERATION VERY RISKY. WENT TO DEALERSHIP. UNFORTUNATELY NO HELP. SAD VEHICLE IN MOTION

FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, SHUDDERS AT 20-40 MPH. SLUGGISH ON GEAR CHANGES FROM 3 TO 4, TOYOTA HAS A WARRENTY EXTENSION FOR 5/20 OR 150000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS CAR DIDN'T FAULT UNTIL 9/20 AND 87,000, WELL UNDER MILEAGE, BUT TOYOTA IS IN WILLING TO STAND BY AND REPAIR THIS FAULTY PART

WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE CITY, IT GETS ABOUT 15.4 MPG INSTEAD OF ~30MPG. I HAVE USED 87 OCTANE GANE FROM DIFFERENT STATION STILL YIELDING THE SAME RESULT. THE AUTOREPAIR SHOP HAS CHECKED FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD AFFECT GAS MILEAGE, BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, WHAT IS GOING ON? I BOUGHT TOYOTA FOR RELIABILITY AND FUEL EFFICIENCY, NOT TO BEHAVE LIKE A TRUCK.

TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAULTY. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. THE RECALL WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY TOYOTA AND ONLY COVERED 5 YEARS 60,000 MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ONLINE. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND NEED THIS REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES REALLY BAD WHEN YOU GO OVER 60MPH . I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND IT SAYS ITS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 20 TO 40 MPH. THE SHUDDERING STOPPED WHEN THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NYE TOYOTA (1441 GENESEE ST, ONEIDA, NY 13421 (315) 363-1000). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE CONTACT HAD A RECALL REPAIR FOR THE TORQUE CONVERTER SHUTTERING BACK IN 2015. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS EXTENDED BUT HAD SINCE EXPIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, MY CAR VIBRATES FOR NO REASON, WHETHER I AM DRIVING SLOW (40-50 MPH) OR FASTER. RECENTLY, THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE.

ON HWY 65 MPH POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND THEN CAR DIED IN MIDDLE OF HWY AT 65 MPH SKIDDED TO A STOP. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. I WAS ALMOST HIT 3 TIMES BY CARS TRYING TO STEER MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR WAS TAKEN TO TWIN CITY TOYOTA AND I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A RECALL ON OTHER CARS BUT NOT MINE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED OTHER PEOPLE. I THREATENED TO CALL AND REPORT TO YOU, AND THEN THEY WERE WILLING TO HELP ME. CAR HASNT BEEN INSPECTED YET. I DROPPED KEY IN DROP BOX AT TWIN CITY TOYOTA IN HERCULANEUM MO. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND WHILE CHANGING GEARS, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRES SEVERAL TIMES ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOW DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE WAS WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE WARRANTY REPAIR WAS GOOD FOR 8 YEARS OR 160,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEMS BETWEEN 35 MPH -45 MPH. THERE IS ALSO A SHUDDER ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AFTER A PAUSE, THE CAR THEN PICKS UP TO NORMAL SPEED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR TRIES TO ACCELERATE FROM 25 MPH

EPS LIGHT IS COMING ON. I SEE THAT OTHER CARS THAT IS ON RECALL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UPS

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEMS BETWEEN 35 MPH -45 MPH. THERE IS ALSO A JITTER ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AFTER A PAUSE, THE CAR THEN PICKS UP TO NORMAL SPEED. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR TRIES TO ACCELERATE FROM 25 MPH

DRIVER SIDE MIRROR ADJUSTMENT SWITCH IS NOT WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH, 3RD AND 4TH SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS, THE VEHICLE HESITATES. SOMETIMES IT IS SOMEWHAT CLEAR TO ACCELERATE, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING A WALL THAT WILL NOT MOVE. I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ECU AND A POSSIBLE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY THE NHTSA PROACTIVELY, AND NOT LEFT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER TO SEE IF THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF. IF THE CAR FAILS IN MOVING TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HIT ME FROM BEHIND. AT THIS TIME, I AM HAVING TO GO FROM 2ND SPEED TO 4TH SPEED BY 40 MPH TO GO AROUND 3RD GEAR ALTOGETHER. THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE CAR SHOULD OPERATE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD AT ANY TIME.

CAR WAS TAKEN FOR BUSINESS AND DAMAGE TO THE CLIP OF MY FRONT BUMPER AND PASSENGER BOTTOM FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR AND BEEN NEEDING REPAIR FOR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR. *TR

IT WAS DARK AND RAINING. I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A PARKING LOT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE MEDIAN. I CROSSED IN FRONT OF A WHITE VEHICLE ON THE OUTSIDE LANE THAT WAS SLOWING AND TURNING. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ANOTHER BLACK VEHICLE ON THE INSIDE LANE THAT WAS HIDDEN FROM MY VIEW. THE LIGHTS BLENDED WITH THE GLARE OF ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE ROAD. AS I CROSSED, I WAS HIT ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY THE BLACK VEHICLE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, NO BRAKING BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SEE ME EITHER. CAR TOTALED. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AREA SO HARD IT BROKE THE GLASS. I HAVE SIX STITCHES IN THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND HUGE HEMATOMA ON MY SCALP. LARGE GOOSE EGG HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AREA. CAUSED CONCUSSION AND HAVE POST CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME. HORRIBLE HEADACHES, BLURRY VISION, SORE AND STIFF NECK. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. UPDATE 4/10/20: I STILL HAVE A SMALL HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AND TWO ON MY SCALP. THEY ARE HEALING SLOWLY. I HAVE NECK ISSUES AND NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE, BUT CANNOT GET IT NOW DUE TO CORONA VIRUS.

WHILE ACCELERATING THE TRANS SHUTTERS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. AND HAS BEEN DOIN SO FOR ABOUT 15,000 MILES. JUST RECENTLY NOW IT HESITATES THE SHIFT UP BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. WITH ONLY 99,600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THERE SHOULD NOT BE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY FROM TOYOTA.

I HAD 3 INSTANCES WHEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND ANOTHER INSTANCE WHEN THE MASTER WARNING LIGHT DID THE SAME. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THAT I DIDN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE THE LIGHT HAS TO STAY ON. IF I WANTED IT CHECKED OUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A FEE OF $130 AND EVEN THEN IT MAY NOT BE COVERED BY TOYOTA . THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ON ONE OCCASION THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL *LN *DT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO SHUTTER AND VIBRATE, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO BE CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT CAUSING THE SPEED TO ABRUPTLY REDUCE AND THE VEHICLE TO SHUTTER AND VIBRATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER THOMPSON TOYOTA (122 WEST SWAMP RD, DOYLESTOWN PA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. *JB CONSUMER STATED DEALER FAILED TO DISCLOSE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO CONSUMER.*JB

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 12/14/19 . I WAS HEADING OUT ON DRIVEWAY IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX, SITTING OUT IN STREET A LITTLE BIT IN BIKE LANE WAITING ON TRAFFIC TO PASS ON A BUSY STREET (BELLFLOWER BLVD.) CAR FROM FAR LANE CHANGED OVER AND HIT MY CAR ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY FRONT TIRE KNOCKED INTO PARKED VEHICLE. CAR LOST ALL FLUIDS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. I SUFFERED FRACTURED RIB, BRIDES, SWOLLEN HAND AND FINGER. I LOVED MY CAMRY NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEM. I FELT LIKE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. AND YES I DID TAKE IT IN FOR THE RECALL.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 OR 2 MINUTES, LEADING TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING. THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNED BACK ON, AND I COULD CONTINUE DRIVING. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20KMS PER HOUR, AND I WAS MAKING A TURN. ON THE 2ND OCCASION, THE CAR WENT UPONTO THE SIDEWALK AND CRASHED INTO A TALL STEP THAT PROECTED THE CAR FROM GOING THROUGH THE DISPLAY WINDOW. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AGENCY IN CUERNAVACA, MEXICO AND THEY RAN A SCAN THAT INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD IN FACT TURNED OFF WHILE GOING 19KMS PER HOUR, BUT THEY KEPT THE REPORT AND REFUSED TO TURN IT OVER TO ME. THIS IS THE ONLY 'PROOF' OR SUPPORTING INFORMATION THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD.

CAR STARTS TO SHUTTER AND ACCELERATION DECREASED BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE SHUDDER CAUSES THE CAR TO LAG AT THIS TIME. WE BEGAN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 30,000 MILES FOR THE ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS A SERVICE ORDER TO CARS SOFTWARE BUT THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT PROBLEM WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE ORDER, BUT NO NOTICE EVER CAME AND THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED WHEN CAR WAS TOOK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TOYOTA SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE CAR AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOR THIS CAR, COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS CUSTOMER SHOW THAT HALF OF THE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NEEDED REPLACED EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO RECALL OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2012-2014 CAMRY. THE LAG AND POTENTIAL MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS ARE A DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THE LAG ON THIS CAR.

IS SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE CONDITIONS BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 25-50 MPH

AT 95,000 MILES A DAILY SHUDDER STARTED HAPPENING WHEN YOU FIRST PULL OUT OF SOMEWHERE AND START ACCELERATING USUALLY BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE SHUDDER CAUSES THE CAR TO LAG AT THIS TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING AND TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION , IT IS ACTUALLY SOFTWARE AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE ORDER, BUT NO NOTICE EVER CAME AND THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED WHEN CAR WAS TOOK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS UP SAME MONTH I RECEIVED THE CAR FROM MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME SINCE THE EXTENDED DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED. I HAVE READ THAT HALF OF THE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NEEDED REPLACED EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO RECALL OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED 2012-2014 CAMRY? THE ESTIMATES TO FIX COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE CAR IS WORTH. THE LAG AND POTENTIAL MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS ARE A DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT TO THEIR MANY CONSUMERS AS NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LAYING AROUND TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY SURVIVE BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO THE LAG AND OTHER POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES THIS MAY CAUSE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE TOYOTA FIX THIS WITH US CAMRY OWNERS? THERE IS INFORMATION ON CARS.COM ABOUT THE SERVICE ORDER THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED.

BREAK BOOSTER IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT WORKING AS DESCRIBED. INTERMITTENT MASTER WARNING LIGHT COMES UP. BECAUSE THE CORRECT FAILURE CODE DOESN'T COME UP TOYOTA SAYS I DON'T QUALIFY FOR ITS CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART . PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL SO OWNERS DON'T DIE FROM AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 25 TO 40 MPH THE CAR SHUDDER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATES. I BELIEVE IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARS AND I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX IT FOR FREE.

110,000 MILES AND ENGINE IS BURNING TWO TO 3 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES

I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. IF THE TURN IS LONG, AS IN A CLOVERLEAF EXIT, THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST STOP. PRESSING THE GAS HAS NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WILL LAG UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPS OR UNTIL YOU COME OUT OF THE TURN. FROM WHAT I FIND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 AND LATER TOYOTA CAMRYS BUT DEALERS STONEWALL ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

THE FUEL PUMP.OFNTHE CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY WAS IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE SO WAS ABLE TO MANOEUVR TO THE SHOULDER, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CLUELESS AND TOOK COUPLE DAYS TO.FIGURE OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP BLEW UP, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE CURRENT PROBLEM OF.FUEL.PUMP.ON NEWER MODEL MAY ALSO.BE RELEVANT TO.OTHER.OLDER MODELS

THE SEATBELT DOESN'T CLICK INTO PLACE AND THE SENSOR DOESN'T SHOW ANYONE SITTING IN THE SEAT WHICH SHOWS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. VERY UNSAFE IF IN AN ACCIDENT.

AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS (OIL, BRAKE, ABS, CHECK ENGINE) ALL OF IT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND MADE A NOISE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN , WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH A COMMUTE, AND THANK GOD I WAS NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED WAITING 10 MINUTE TO RESTART, AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN START BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING WAS DEAD AND THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS NEARLY KILLED ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHUTTER AND SPUTTER WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ROBINSON TOYOTA (1453 VANN DR, JACKSON, TN 38305, (731) 668-1234) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY TWO DAYS. ON DECEMBER 3, 2019, THE CONTACT PAID $1,600 FOR THE REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSES SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,790.

I THOUGHT THAT BUYING A TOYOTA CAMRY WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIGHEST QUALITY. WELL I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS - TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE FACTORY WARRANTY ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT, ONLY FOR UNDER 150,000 MILES. I HAVE 155,000 MILES ON MY CAMRY XLE. SO I CALLED TOYOTA AND WANTED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THEM. THEY WERE NICE BUT IN THE END THEY WERE UNWILLING TO WORK ANYTHING OUT. LONG STORY SHORT I NEED TO SPEND $2500 IF I WANT TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE CAR IS NOW JUNK!

CAR WAS REAR ENDED AND I HIT MY HEAD ON DASHBOARD DUE TO THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND RETRACTOR NOT ENGAGING. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT. NYC POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT: MV-2019-100-000731 REPORT 731

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS OR VIBRATES EVER TIME YOU GO TO TAKE OFF OR SLOW DOWN, BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 20MPH AND 50 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND DECIDED TO CHANGE LANES TO PULL OVER. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE FILLING THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OVER. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AS IT CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND DESTROYED BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO EXTINGUISH THEM. POLICE AND FIRE REPORTS WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTIGATED THE FAILURE AND TOOK PLENTY OF PICTURES OF THE BURNED OUT VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS OR VIBRATES IN LOW SPEED BETWEEN GEARS AND IS ONLY 79,000 MILES AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ONE MONTH AGO.

AIR CONDITIONING AND TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE 2 PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHILE TRANSITIONING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND VICE VERSA WHILE BRAKING FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIBRATIONS USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-50 MPH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE TWO ENGINE MOUNTS HAD FRACTURED DUE TO THE VIBRATIONS. THE CONTACT STATED CAR TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.*DT*JB

THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND DISPLAY CONTROLS IN THE RADIO CONSOLE FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 SE AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY TOYOTA. THE BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE STOPPED WORKING AROUND 2 YEARS AGO THUS DISABELING ACCESS TO NAVIGATION, BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. DUE TO LACK OF ON SCREEN NAVIGATION I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RESORT TO USING A MOBILE WHICH IS DISTRACTING TO A DRIVER AND MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY IN UNFAMILIAR AREAS AND ON MULTILANE HIGHWAY NEAR EXITS. ALSO AS CONNECTIVITY TO THE PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH HAS BEEN DISABLED CALLS CANNOT BE RECIEVED USING THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ON RESEARCHING MORE ON THIS TOPIC I HAVE REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE VEHICLE OWNERS FACING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE SAME PART OF THE VEHICLE FOR VARIOUS VEHICLES THAT TOYOTA PRODUCES. THE SOLUTION PROVIDED BY TOYOTA NEEDS REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY CONSOLE WHICH COSTS BETWEEN $800 TO $1000. MULTIPLE VIDEOS AND COMMENTS REQUESTING A CHEAP SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE CAN BE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. SOME SUGGESTIONS INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF A PART CALLED COMMUNICATION EXTENSION MODULE MANUFACTURED BY "HARMAN AUTOMOTIVE PART NUMBER 86100-YY050". I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH ONLY TO HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS DUE TO DISTRACTIONS BUT THIS MAY BE A CONCERN AND TOYOYA SHOULD COME UP WITH A CHEAPER SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE RATHER THAN SIMPLY SAYING " YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY A $1000 FIR REPLACING THE ENTIRE CONSOLE THAT TOO WHEN ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS ARE WORKING"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OTHER DRIVER INFORMED HIM THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEITH PIERSON TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 6501 YOUNGERMAN CIR, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244, (904) 207-7065) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,119.

MY EPS LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF SOMETIME I'M DRIVING AND WHEN IT DOES THAT MY RADIO GOES OUT AND WHEEL HARD TO STEER.

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAND NEW TIRE EXPLODING ON VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS BADLY DESTROYED RENDERING IT TOTALED. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE NEW SET OF TIRES. *JS *JS

HAVE NOISE IN THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE.STEERING IS HARD AND DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR HAS BEEN SHOOTING ICE FROM THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SOMETIMES THE DRIVER SIDE. ALSO, WHEN THE GREEN ECO LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. I'VE HAVE SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON THE CAR AND THERE ARE NO CODES APPEARING. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR IF THE AC WAS ON BEFORE I BRIEFLY TURN IT OFF. AS FAR AS THE SHAKING IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN THE ECO LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE LIGHT WILL FLICKER AND TURN OFF AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WILL STOP VIBRATING.

PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED

AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING WATER TO DRIP INSIDE THE CABIN UNDER THE FRONT SEATS. AS A RESULT, THE CARPET UNDER THE FRONT SEATS GETS WET AND MOLDY, CREATING A FOUL SMELL IN THE CABIN AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BREATHE NORMALLY. THE FAULT IN THE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAUSES HEALTH PROBLEMS. THIS IS A KNOWN AND LONG-STANDING DEFECT AND IS MENTIONED ON DISCUSSION WEBSITES, SUCH AS CAR.COMPLAINTS.COM. TOYOTA STATES THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2013 FOR AN AIR-CONDITIONING PROBLEM AND WAS REPAIRED. AS A CONSUMER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW, WHETHER THIS CURRENT ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE SAME MECHANICAL DEFECT THAT THEY REPAIRED IN 2013. BUT AS IT IS NOW, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LONG-TERM HEALTH.

THE TRANSMISSION FILLS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING WHEN I GET BETWEEN 25 -50 MPH. AND IT IS GETTING WORSE

WHILE DRIVING THE CAMRY IN AUTOMATIC THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO DOWNSHIFT SLOWLY AND DRAG

WHILE DRIVING AND RUNNING MY VEHICLE AC, I BEGAN HEARING A "LIQUID SWISHING" NOISE, OFTEN WHEN TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP. LATER, WHEN PARKED, I NOTICED THE MAT/CARPET UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS WET. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER, THE MAT WAS STILL SOAKED AND THERE WAS STANDING WATER THERE, AS WELL SOAKED CARPET BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. FROM RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CAMRY IF THE AC COMES LOOSE OR BECOMES CLOGGED.

WE EXPERIENCED THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" MESSAGE ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST INCIDENT, ON APRIL 3, 2019, INVOLVED DRIVING EIGHT MILES AND THEN LEAVING THE CAR (OFF AND PARKED) FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. ON RETURNING AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR, THE POWER CAME ON BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT AND THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IT WAS EVENING, SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OUR NORMAL REPAIR SHOP AND LEFT A DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY THE REPAIR SHOP CALLED TO SAY THAT THE CAR HAD STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY, SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY SUGGESTED WE CONTACT TOYOTA IF THE ISSUE RECURRED. WE RETRIEVED THE CAR, AND DIDN'T OBSERVE ANY FURTHER ISSUES, SO WE CONTINUED DRIVING IT 20-25 MILES DURING THE WORK WEEK. ON APRIL 28, 2019, TWENTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR ALONG A STRAIGHT SECTION OF A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND THE THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" MESSAGE CAME ON. THE ELECTRONICS REMAINED ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER CARS NEARBY, BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES (UNSUCCESSFULLY). I HAD IT TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A QUICK REPAIR, BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS OF TROUBLESHOOTING AND ESCALATING ITS ISSUES TO HIGHER LEVELS AT TOYOTA, THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A PROBLEM WITH THE INVERTER AND THE BATTERY: A REPAIR OF NEARLY $8000. I ASKED THE SHOP TO DOCUMENT THE REPAIRS WITH PHOTOS AND GIVE ME THE BROKEN PARTS. THE TECH AGREED TO DO SO, BUT (DESPITE FOLLOWING UP MULTIPLE TIMES) I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING EXCEPT AN INVOICE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. I DO NOT HAVE THE INVOICE NEAR AT HAND, BUT CAN LOCATE IT IF NECESSARY.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS EXTREME DELAY IN ACCELERATION, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GAS CAN BE TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, NOT EVEN A JUMP IN RPM AAA A RESULT OF THE INCREASED THROTTLE. TRYING TO MERGE ON TO THE HIGHWAY IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE REMAINS STUCK AT 40MPH FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, IF NOT LONGER. EVEN ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO SPEED, TRYING TO CHANGE LANES OR PASS IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE TO ENGAGING THE THROTTLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION HAS A GENERALLY DELAYED RESPONSE, VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM BRAKE TO GAS, EVEN ON FLAT GROUND. THIS IS YET ANOTHER HAZARD SEEMINGLY BROUGHT ON BY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AND IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE FOR THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS ON THE VERGE OF FAILING DESPITE THE VEHICLE STILL BEING 'YOUNG' AND WELL-CARED FOR. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY A DEALERSHIP THAT CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. THE AMOUNT OF HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT AND CAN NOT BE NORMAL. THE CAR DRIVES LIKE ITS HALF ASLEEP. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE RECENTLY AND I FEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL, OR THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTION IS GOING TO RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO LOCK/UNLOCK MANUALLY, OTHER TIMES IT WORKS WITH THE KEY FOB. THERE IS NO RHYME, REASON OR PATTERN TO WHEN IT DOES OR DOESN'T WORK. THE DOORS NORMALLY LOCK WHEN I SHIFT OUT OF PARK, IT NOW DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL. I HAVE CHECKED THE FUSE, SWITCH, AND WIRING. THEY ARE ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. WHEN I PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON, BOTH DOORS CLICK, BUT DO NOT ALWAYS LOCK/UNLOCK.

TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVER DOOR IS NOT LOCKING OR UNLOCKING WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE REMOTE OR ANY BUTTONS IN THE CAR AT ANY TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK OR UNLOCK IS TO USE THE KEY IN THE DOOR OR TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK ACTUAL LOCK. IT'S NOT SAFE AS THE CAR SOUNDS AS IF IT'S LOCKING BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS NOT AND GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO GET IN MY CAR THAT IS NOT TO BE IN MY CAR. HAS BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT JANUARY 2019 BUT STOPPED WORKING 6/3/2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT, BUT A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

BUMPER CLIPS BREAK EASILY RESULTING IN BUMPER COVER NEEDING REPLACEMENT. SEEN ON MANY CAMRYS

WHEN LOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT PASSENGER SIDE SO I HAVE TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. I HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE OR THE REAR SEAT TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN INCASE I NEED TO ACCESS THIS DOOR IN A HURRY. THIS ALSO APPLIES WHEN USING THE LOCKS MANUALLY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 107,000 MILE ON IT.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS DURING LIGHT ACCELERATION AROUND 10MPH-30MPH. IT DEVELOPS A MILD HESITATION AND LASTS A FEW SECONDS UNLESS ACCELERATION IS STOPPED. I CONTINUE ACCELERATING AND IT PASSES. THIS JUST STARTED AFTER 100,000 MILES AND IS CONSISTENT -HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND VIBRATED WHILE IN SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THE ENGINE BURNS HALF A QUARTER OR MORE OF OIL IN BETWEEN THE OIL CHANGES. IT IS EXHIBITING ABNORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. MY MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE WAS ON 03/02/19 AND MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY LOW ON MOTOR OIL. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF WHERE IT IS TODAY 05/27/19.

THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS SHUTTER AND VIBRATION BETWEEN 25 AND 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR TRANSMISSION WAS PERFORMED. TECHNICIANS SAID VEHICLE WAS SHUTTER FREE. THE SHUTTER DID NOT IMPROVE ANY AFTER THIS UPDATE. VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FLUSHED TWICE. MECHANIC NOTED THAT FLUID WAS EXTREMELY DIRTY REQUIRED 2ND FLUSH TO FULLY CLEAN SYSTEM. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. MECHANIC NOTED THAT TRANSMISSION LIKELY NEEDED REPLACED BUT NEW FLUID WOULD HELP WITH THE ISSUE. VEHICLE IMPROVED AFTER FLUID CHANGE BUT THE SHUTTER HAS NOW RETURNED WITH 125,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THE SHUTTER FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP IN BETWEEN THE 25-50 MPH RANGE AS THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS.

OVER THE COURSE OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR, TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 2012, ALL 4 LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AT LEAST ONCE. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THIS DOOR, IS TO DO SO MANUALLY. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY OF 2016, $642, PAID TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE OTHER THREE DOORS THAT WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, DECEMBER 2016, AND WAS QUOTED $656 TODAY, MAY 2019, TO REPAIR THE SAME DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AGAIN. TOYOTA GOODWILL COVERED THE OTHER THREE DOORS BEYOND THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTICS. I FEEL THAT THEY ONLY COVERED THE COST IN DECEMBER OF 2016 TO PREVENT ME FROM ISSUING A COMPLAINT. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. SAFETY ISSUES COULD ARISE WHEN YOU NEED TO QUICKLY ENTER THE CAR IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

A POLICE REORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION WAS EXPERIENCING TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER. DEALER REPLACED ORIGINAL TORQUE CONVERTER AT ~106,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. AFTER REPLACEMENT THE TRANSMISSION DEVELOPED A VIBRATION BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. TOOK CAR BACK TO SERVICING DEALER (HOSELTON TOYOTA IN EAST ROCHESTER, NY) AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. DEALER HAS MADE THE CLAIM THAT THE FAILURE IS NOT RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT OR TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER. THEY ARE CLAIMING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER IS TO BLAME FOR THE FAILURE. TIME ELAPSED BETWEEN ORIGINAL WARRANTY REPAIR AND DIAGNOSIS OF OUT-OF-WARRANTY TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. AT TIME OR ORIGINAL REPAIR THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE ANY OTHER FAULTY COMPONENTS AND DID NOT MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF ANY TRANSMISSION OR RELATED COMPONENTS.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IT SHUDDERS

ON JANUARY 6, 2019, I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS MULTI-VEHICLE COLLISION ON THE HIGHWAY IN WHICH MY TOYOTA CAMRY WAS VIOLENTLY REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. THE COLLISION WAS OF SUCH FORCE THAT MY CAMRY WAS RAMMED FORWARD CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND A DOMINO EFFECT OF THREE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HIM. PHYSICALLY, I SUSTAINED A CERVICAL SPINE INJURY, RIB CONTUSION, LEFT KNEE JOINT DAMAGE AS WELL AS CUTS AND BRUISES. WHAT I FOUND MOST DISTURBING OF ALL IS THAT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE MANY AIR BAGS IN MY TOYOTA CAMRY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME ALL HAD FUNCTIONING AIR BAGS THAT DEPLOYED DURING THE COLLISION. THE CHAIN REACTION CRASH PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION (SANDWICHED BY TWO VEHICLES) AND MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED THE MOST HARMFUL IMPACT OF ALL THE VEHICLES INVOLVED. SINCE THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT, I HAVE HAD RESTLESS NIGHTS AS I KEEP THINKING HOW MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY AND WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS A SAFETY FEATURE DURING THIS COLLISION.

AS I BEGIN ACCELERATING THE CAR SHUDDERS AND DOES NOT RESPOND. SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE HESITANT ACCELERATION HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET T BONED & REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE CHECKED AND THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND RECOMMENDED FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR A SERVICE CAMPAIGN CONCERNING SPUTTERING AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER THE PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, WHEN I STARTING AFTER FEW SECOND SOMETHING BLOCKING AND L STOPS.I AM USING MY CAR FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOME JOB, SCHOOL ON STREET, NOT TO MUCH USING ON HIGHWAY. ON 19 NOVEMBER 2018 I CHANGED MY OIL AND ASKED THEM CHECK EVERYTHING FOR WINTER TIME, ALSO TOLD ABOUT PROBLEM, BECAUSE I AM GRANDMA AND EVERYDAY PICKIN UP MY GRANDKIDS FROM SCHOOL. THE BODY SHOP FIND OUT ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND RECALL. ADVICED ME TO CALL TOYOTA. MY CAR HAD RECALL ON 2014.WE PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 2014 AND DEALER DID NOT TOLD US ABOUT RECALL. CAR HAD ALREADY 60000 MILES, NOW MY CAR HAS 82171 MILES. ALSO RECALL PAPER WAS SENT TO 1 ST OWNER. I TALKED WITH TOYOTA THEY SUGGEST ME TO DO INSPECTION IN ANY TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY WILL FIX, BUT TODAY AUTONATION TOYOTA DEALER LIBERTY I'LL SERVICE TOLD ME WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO CHANGE AND RECALL WILL NOT COVER COST. INSPECTION SHOWS TRANSMISSION LUNGES SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING FROM STOP DIAG 30 TRANSMISSION FAILING BETWEEN 2ND AND3RD GEARS. I WOULD SAY NEVER REPAIRED TRANSMISSION CONVERTER LAST 5 YEARS THIS DEFECT AFFECTED TO WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU HELP ME TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT WILL COST$6723.00, WE ALMOST SOON PAYING OFF OUR LOAN LESS THAN THIS AMOUNT.THIS SERVICE CLERK ADVICED ME TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION OR TRADE AND BUY ANOTHER CAR. WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY SOON WE WILL NOT GONE HAVE ANYMORE MONTHLY PAYMENTS, SO NOW COME UP LIKE NOT PUT TO DANGER MY GRAND KIDS , WE SHOULD BUY OR PAY FOR REPLACEMENT.EVEN IF WE DO TRADE OUR CAR, DEALER WILL NOT FIX TRANSMISSION AND SALE TO ANOTHER PERSON WHO WILL HAVE SOON A PROBLEM AS LIKE ME.

ON 11/21/18 I RECEIVED MY CAR FROM JIM COLEMAN'S SERVICE DEPT. MY TIRE ICON WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. MY TIRE PRESSURE APP. INDICATED ONE OF MY NEW TIRES WAS SEVERELY OVER INFLATED AT 45 PSI. THE SIDE WALL OF THE 94 V RATED TIRE SAID " MAX LOAD PRESSURE 44 PSI NEVER INFLATE BEYOND 40 PSI." HAD I NOT HAD PRESSURE SENSORS IN MY RIMS, I WOULD HAVE TRUSTED MY CAR WAS ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE. THEY JEOPARDIZED MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS BY ALLOWING MY CAR TO LEAVE IN SUCH A CONDITION. I COULD HAVE HAD A BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOTIFYING YOU OF THIS EGREGIOUS ERROR TO PRECLUDE ITS HAPPENING TO FUTURE CLIENTS. THE PROPER INFLATION WOULD HAVE BEEN 35 PSI. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AWARENESS AND PRACTICES OF THIS DEALERSHIP.

AROUND 40-45 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS TO STUTTER/SHAKE WHEN CHANGING GEARS. I LOOK ONLINE AND THESE CARS HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY SAID ITS NOT A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HE CANNOT FEEL IN AND NEITHER DOES HIS SUPERVISOR. I FEEL THE STUTTER/ SHAKE EVERYDAY WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR.

AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR WHEN PASSENGER IS PRESENT, CALLED TOYOTA, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT HAD EXPIRED, AND DID NOT OFF TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THERE WAS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CAMRY'S AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, WHY NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL

DEFECT PART SAFETY RECALL

I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. IT HAS 105000 MILES. IT HAS A BAD VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE MECHANIC, BUT NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE REAR BRAKES AND FOUND THEM TO BE VERY HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILLION AUTO- TOYOTA (4101 W 12TH ST, SIOUX FALLS, DE 57106, 605-309-0979) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 210160578. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,250. *TT CONSUMER STATED THERE IS FRICTION ON BRAKE PADS. UPDATED 12/18/18*JB

NO SOUND IN RADIO/CD/BLUETOOTH/PHONE BUT THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WORKS OK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 77,000 MILES ON THE SPEDOMETER. ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I NOTICE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE, THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THIS VEHICLE ALSO FEELS LIKE YOU ABOUT TO HYDROPLANE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25 MPH, WHICH FEELS UNSAFE. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE BAKE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE A BRAKE ASSEMBLY SWITCH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SAME VEHICLE, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY SWITCH WAS CHANGE AND THEY STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEED.

AS I AM ACCELERATING BETWEEN 20-50 MPH THE CAR SHUDDERS. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $140 JUST TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY SON HAS A 2014 AND MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2015 AND ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE 110,000 MILES ON MY CAR, MY SON 80,000 AND MY DAUGHTER 70,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID AS WE ARE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR IS STALLING WE MIGHT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. ITS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

CAR HESITATES AND LOOSES POWER WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND WHILE EXITING AND OR STARTING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION. REAR CARS AND MYSELF ARE IN DANGER. THIS PROBLEM IS FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS FROM SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING AND LEAVING AN INTERSECTION.THIS CAMERY WAS PURCHASED IN 2015, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM SINCE FIRST REPORTED, WHICH WAS IN 2015. OVER 300 TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 5-7 YEARS.

OUR 2012 CAMRY SE HAD APPROXIMATELY 66,000 MILES WHEN THE BRAKE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I WAS THE DRIVING VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/30/18 GOING 55 MPH WHEN I HEARD AN WHISTLING SOUND FOR 2-3 MINUTES. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION 10 MILES FROM MY HOME I SMELT A BURNING SMELL WHICH SEEMED TO COME FROM THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. WHEN I TOUCHED THE WHEEL IT WAS VERY HOT AND WOULD HAVE BURNED MY HAND IF I LEFT IT THERE. I DROVE HOME LATER AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I THREW SOME WATER ON IT AND A CLOUD OF STEAM AROSE. I CALLED MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY A STUCK DISC BRAKE CALIBER AND THAT HE HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE ON 2012 & 2013 CAMRYS. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SEIZED CALIBER PISTON WHICH REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEFT REAR CALIBER, PADS AND ROTOR FOR OVER $500.00. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD A SAFETY PROBLEM LIKE THIS OCCUR IN ANY VEHICLE NEVER MIND A FAIRLY NEW CAMRY WHICH PASSED A SAFETY INSPECTION AT TOYOTA AS PART OF AN OIL CHANGE ON 2/20/18 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 63,253 MILES. IN MY OPINION THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR IN THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BRAKE SYSTEM FIRE OR BRAKE FAILURE.

HAD THE SAME ISSUE 3 YEARS AGO THEY TOOK MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT. IT'S STUTTERING A LOT. FIRST TIME TOOK IT IN THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A DAY. TOOK IT BACK RIGHT AFTER I DROVE OFF. THEN THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS AFTER THAT. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SINCE LAST YEAR AND NOBODY SEEM TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO MY COMPLAINTS. DRIVING 40 MPH AND IT DOES THE STUTTERING FOR SECONDS AT A TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY 3 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENTS OF THE CAR CAUSED IT TO CUT OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WAVED TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO ALERT THEM THAT THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST KILLED, AND WORST YET, OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY KILLED OR INJURED AS WELL. A YOUNG MAN STOPPED AND PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN. IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY MY NERVES ARE RATTLED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT.

TAKATA RECALL - PURCHASED CAR IN 2015. TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PERFORM DOT RECALL COMPLETED. AND CHECK TO SEE WHY CAR DOES NOT HAVE AC OR THE OUTSIDE TEMP DISPLAY DOES NOT REGISTER. ONE DAY SUMMER OF 2017 CAR TURNED ON BUT THE CLIMATE CONTROL WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. AND COULD NOT ADJUST THE TEMP OF FAN SPEED. TURNED CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON 2 TIMES. THEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL ILLUMINATED, BUT I NO LONGER HAD AC. AND CANNOT CHANGE THE FAN SPEED. CAR WAS PARKED IN RESIDENCE PARKING LOT WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED. QUOTED $10,487 PLUS TAX TO BEGIN REPAIRS. NEED 2 ELECTRICAL HARNESSES AND A/AC AMPLIFIER TO BEGIN REPAIRS. NEEDING PARTS # 82115 -06F30, 82121-06C80, & 88650 - 06501. TOTAL COST TO BEGIN REPAIRS $ 10.487 PLUS TAX. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEED FIX BUT IS A MUST STARTING POINT. DUE TO BOTH HARNESSES HAVING TOO MUST RESISTANCE FOUND 15 CODES STORED IN 8 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. 6 CODES CURRENT AND 9 ARE HISTORY. MANY CAN BE RELATED BUT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC IS REQUIRED. FOUND SHORT TO GROUND ON ONE CIRCUIT BUT NEED FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE EXACT LOCATION. AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR SHORT TO GROUND I77 PIN 13

POWER CAR LOCKS WON'T OPEN OR CLOSE WHEN USING THE SWITCHES OR THE REMOTE KEY. CAR ALARM WON'T ACTIVATE BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. ALSO, THE DRIVER SWITCH DOES NOT UNLOCK THE REAR DOOR ANYMORE. THIS COULD BE A REAL DANGER IF YOU HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT AND NEED TO GET THEM OUT IN A HURRY.

PLEASE DETERMINE IF THE FUELRAIL END CAPS THAT ARE MADE BY ARSEN ARE DEFECTIVE. PRE. REQUISITES OF ONE REPORTED MAY BE ENOUGH TO START A INVESTIGATION ADVISING TOYOTA TO RECALL THE 2012 FUEL RAILS ON THE 6 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMERY.THESE FUELRAILS ARE PROBABLY DEFECTIVE IN THE KIA AND HYUNDAI IF MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY USING THE SAME MATERIAL. PLEASE CROSS CHECK THE INFO TO DETERMINE A CAUSE. IF OVER 400 VEHICLES B4 A NOTICE WAS PUT OUT AND NO SPECIFIC CAUSE WAS NOTED . I WANT TO BELIEVE TOYOTA DOES WHATS CORRECT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS DID KIA AND HYUNDAI ONLY AFTER 400 PLUS ISSUES AROSE. THAT IS STRAIGHT NEGLIGENCE UPON THE NHTSA WHY SO MANY FIRES BEFORE SOMETHING WAS DONE UNREAL.

FUEL RAIL WITH ENDCAPS HAVE BECOME DEFECTIVE AND NOT SEALING PROPERLY. CONSEQUENTLY, GASOLINE AND FUEL VAPORS ARE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL RAIL ONTO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WILL EMISSIONS AND DEALERS IS EQUESTING $762.00 TO FIX.

THE MOLDING AT WINDSHIELD HOLDING SIDE AIR BAGS IS DETACHING FROM WINDSHIELD ON PASSANGER SIDE. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS.

AS I CRUISE ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE HYBRID TRACTION BATTERY STARTS TO MAKE MINI RAPID PROGRESSIVELY LOUD EXPLOSIONS LIKE THE BACK OF MY REAR SEAT IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. TO ALLEVIATE THIS I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIPS BUT ARE UNWILLING TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE. THIS CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR, THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF USING THE ON/OFF BUTTON, BUT THEN LATER IN THE NIGHT, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING! THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE AND THE KEY WAS IN THE HOUSE AT THE TIME.

AT NIGHT ON HILLS AND CURVY ROADS THE TOP THIRD OF THE WINDSHIELD BECOMES VERY DARK AND IT IS HARD TO SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TRIED USING MY BRIGHTS WHICH HELPS A LITTLE,BUT WHEN ONCOMING CARS ARE NEAR I HAVE TO SWITCH BACK TO THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST 2012.

ON 5/24/18 AT 1435 IN CHICAGO IL, MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY FULLY ACCELERATED THROUGH ONGOING TRAFFIC AFTER LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND I HAD TO MANEUVER THROUGH ONCOMING TRAFFIC INTO A GRASS AREA ACROSS THE STREET TO SLOW DOWN BUT COMING DOWN ON THE OTHER SIDE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT NOTICED ABNORMAL SPUTTERING AND A STRONG VIBRATION COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 20 TO 50 MPH. THE DEALER (ADVANTAGE TOYOTA VALLEY STREAM, 400 W SUNRISE HIGHWAY, VALLEY STREAM, NEW YORK 11581, 516-887-3200) DETERMINED THAT THE INTAKE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS REPLACED BUT, WITHIN A MONTH, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONTACT CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR A SERVICE CAMPAIGN CONCERNING SPUTTERING AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER (HILLSIDE TOYOTA, 139-65 QUEENS BLVD, JAMAICA, NY 11435, (718) 571-8211) WERE CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY WOULD APPROVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

DRIVING CAR AND I WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION ON A FOGGY MORNING ABOUT 6:15 AM. WENT TO TURN RIGHT AT INTERSECTION AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A DENSE AMOUNT OF FOG FLOW ACROSS THE FRONT OF MY CAR. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, SAW SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. AN ALARM WENT OF AND MY DASH DISPLAYED THE WARNING HYBRID SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THEN FIRE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND UP ALONG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WAS JUST PASSING A GAS STATION AT THE TIME SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWN PASS THE GAS STATION AND THEN PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXISTED THE CAR. THE NEAREST FIRE COMPANY WAS OUT ON A CALL, SO THE CAR CONTINUED TO BURN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AS A RESULT THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR WAS COMPLETING BURNT. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS FIRE. IN FACT, I DROVE IT 176 MILES THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FIRE. LEARNED AFTER I EXISTED THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE, THAT A DRIVER COMING UP THE ROAD BEHIND ME AFTER I TURNED AT THE INTERSECTION, NOTICED SPARKS AND/OR FLAMES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. SHE WAS FLASHING HER HEADLIGHTS AT ME, BUT I DID NOT NOTICE HER.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A WAY TO CHECK IF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. DATE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SPRAINED HER RIGHT ANKLE FROM THE PRESSURE OF DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUALLY. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NORTH HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA TO HAVE THE DAMAGES ASSESSED. IT HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED YET WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CLAIM NUMBER: 180-427-0700. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

ON 4/11/18, AT FREEWAY SPEED, I WAS HIT HARD ON THE FRONT RIGHT FROM A VEHICLE WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE CROSSED CROSSED SEVERAL LANES AND CAUSED MY CAR TO SPIN AROUND, THEN WAS HIT DIRECTLY ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BY ANOTHER CAR. I ENDED UP IN THE CAR POOL LANE FACING THE WRONG WAY. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR, MY DOOR WAS SMASHED IN AND THE LEFT REAR FENDER WAS HANGING ON BY A THREAD. NO AIR BAGS INFLATED!!! NONE.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VERY FAST, RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND TWO OTHER PARKED VEHICLES.

NOT SURE IF THEY ARE TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS REAR-ENDED (NOT HER FAULT) THAT CRUNCHED HER CAR BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES. THE INDIVIDUAL AT FAULT, ALTOGETHER, CREATED A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SEE PICTURES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. MY WIFE IS STILL SUFFERING WITH SHOULDER PAINS. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR.

I WAS JUST AT A STOPLIGHT. I WAS THE FIRST CAR. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DID NOT PICK UP SPEED FOR AT LEAST A FULL MINUTE. I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME WOULD RUN INTO MY CAR OR START HONKING BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING SO SLOW. IT HAPPENED AT THE STOP LIGHT PRIOR TOO, BUT IT WASN'T AS NOTICEABLE BECAUSE I RAN INTO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER AFTER I READ A REPORT ON CARS.COM THAT SAID THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE DUE TO A COMBINATION OF AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE GLITCH AND A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. I LATER READ THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL MAY NEED ADJUSTING BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL THINKS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON.

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GASOLINE SMELLS COMING FROM VEHICLE. *LD *JS

TOYOTA FAILS TO DISCLOSE THAT SUNROOF HAS DRAINS DESIGNED TO DISCHARGE WATER FROM THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. IF ONE OF THESE DRAINS GET CLOGGED (AND COULD HAPPEN VERY EASY) WATER GETS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WATER INFILTRATION CAN START WITH A VERY SLOW AMOUNT SO THE ISSUE IS NOT DISCOVERED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE UNDERNEATH THE CARPET IS A MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS THIS WATER. MOLD CAN BE DEVELOPED, AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS DURING DRIVING. MY SPOUSE ACCUSED BREATHING ISSUES AND PSORIASIS AND WE DISCOVERED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS GETTING RAIN WATER INSIDE.COULD BE FOR MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS, AS WELL AS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT - THERE IS NOT WAY TO ASSUME OR TO NOTICE HOW MUCH WATER YOU HAVE IN WHICH TIME BECAUSE YOU DISCOVER IT WHEN IS TOO LATE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE, CLAIMING THAT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. BUT IN THE TOYOTA OWNER MANUAL THIS DRAIN IS NOT DISCLOSED TO THE CUSTOMER, SO IT COULD TAKE A PERIODIC CHECK.ALSO LUSTINE TOYOTA FROM WOODBRIDGE VA WHERE WE SERVICE THE CAR AT EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION, WRITTEN OR NOT, ABOUT THESE DRAINS BUT INSTEAD CAN DIAGNOSE VERY QUICK THAT THE WATER IN THE CARPET COMES FROM CLOGGED DRAINS. HOW COME THAT TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT IS NOT RAISING ANY AWARENESS ABOUT IT, SO THE CUSTOMER CAN BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE INSTEAD OF HAVING THE VEHICLE FULL WITH WATER AND TO POSE DANGERS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS AROUND? TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE LIKE ANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE (SEE WW, CHRYSLER, VOLVO) FOR FAILURE TO DISCLOSE IMPORTANT CAR FEATURES. WE WILL NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE ISSUE TO BE CORRECTED ON THEIR EXPENSE BUT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, REPRESENTED BY MRS. KRISTEN, REFUSES. OUR CASE NUMBER WAS 1802171412 PLEASE HELP

FROM A STOPPED POSITION, ACCELERATION HESITATES BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN SLOWING AND THEN ACCELERATING. UNSAFE FOR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 SE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED TO DO A HARD SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR THAT RESULTED IN ME NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SEE ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THEIR 2012 CAMRY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED ALREADY?!?! I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED OWNING A TOYOTA BUT NOW I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF THE BRAND. IF TOYOTA DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I THEN I AM DONE WITH TOYOTA.

MY TOYOTA WHEN I GO 40 MILES TO 60 BETWEEN IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE WHEN I PUSH THE GAS NOT STOPS SO IF I HAD TO GUESS JUST A LITTLE BIT STARTS TO SHUTTER MORE STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN SHE JUST PISSES ME OFF I OWE $13,000 ON THIS CAR RIGHT NOW I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT BY READING ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AND YOU GUYS WIN BIG AND NOBODY FIXED IT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL I'M DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA I USUALLY LOVE TOYOTA REPORT ABUSE

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK STOPS WORKING. MY CAR HAD JUST PASSED 60K WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR LOCK BY PRESSING THE KEY FOB. AFTER COUPLE MONTH ALL 4 DOORS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL 4 DOORS BY MANUALLY UNLOCKING USING THE KEY. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND OUT THE DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON ALL 4 DOORS AND MULTIPLE TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET & ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH OVER ABOUT 150 YARDS, I HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN THE STREET. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. THE AIRBAG KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. (I WEIGH 122 LBS & I'M 5 FT 3.5 IN.) I DIDN'T REALIZE I'D BEEN KNOCKED OUT: I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE I' BEEN UNCONSCIOUS OR THAT MY EYEGLASSES HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG HADN'T FULLY INFLATED. BUT MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID SHE HAD THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BECAUSE SHE REPEATEDLY CALLED TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I DIDN'T ANSWER. I NEVER HEARD HER OR EVEN KNEW MY CHEST/FACE WAS AGAINST THE AIRBAG. MY DAUGHTER SAID MY FACE AND CHEST WERE SLUMPED AGAINST THE AIRBAG. I WAS SHOCKED: ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I JUST SAW THE CAR I WAS GOING TO HIT, BRAKED, AND THEN SAW A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. BUT MY CHEST HURT. THE NEXT DAY MY CHEST HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T PRESS THE CAP ONTO A MAGIC MARKER. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE FELT LIKE I HAD SOMETHING ON IT (LIKE A PIECE OF CLOTH), AND MY LEFT CHEEK AT THE CHEEKBONE WAS SWOLLEN AND BRUISED. THE VISION IN MY LEFT EYE WAS BLURRY, TOO. SO I WENT TO THE ER WHERE THEY DID CT SCANS OF MY CHEST AND BRAIN. THEY SAID I HAD A MILD CONCUSSION. I GOT A PARTIAL BLACK EYE ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, AND I NOTICED A 4" BY 4" BRUISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY RIGHT CALF. EVEN TODAY--28 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT--MY CHEST AND CALF STILL HURT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A 40 MPH STREET AND PROBABLY ONLY GOT TO 18 OR 20 MPH WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THEN HIT THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD HER SEATBELT ON IN THE BACK SEAT, WAS UNHARMED.

DECEMBER 29TH AT 3:00 A.M MY WIFE AND I WAS GOING TO THE ATM IN GRANGER TX. AS I APPROACHED A SHARP CURVE I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR SPEEDED UP HIT THE CULVERT AND WENT AIRBORNE. WE CAME DOWN ON A BOULDER AND SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO DRIVE BACK TO MY BROTHER IN LAWS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SEVERE WHIPLASH, I CRACKED MY L1 AND INJURED MY SIDE AND BACK. MY WIFE'S HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW SO HARD SHE HAD A CONCUSSION KNOTS AND BRUISES ON HER HEAD. SHE HAS BRUISES ON HER RIGHT SHOULDER, HIT HER KNEE AND LEG. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN WEARING SEAT BELTS WE WOULD HAVE DIED. IF OUR AIRBAGS HAD WORKED WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HURT AS BAD AS WE ARE. MY WIFE'S GLASSES ARE BENT AND MY WATCH IS BROKE. I AM SENDING PICTURES TO PROVE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK. NOT SUR WHAT THE ODOMETER READING IS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO TURN THE CAR ON SINCE THERE IS NO LONGER NO OIL OR ANTIFREEZE.

TAKATA RECALL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, CAR WOULD NOT START, RECEIVED SOME ELECTRICAL CODES WHEN WENT TO LOCAL SHOP (MERCHANT AUTO AND TIRE, MD). CAR WAS PARKED AND NEXT TIME, WHEN TRYING TO START DID NOT START. BATTERY IS GOOD. I HAD PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG RECALL FIXED ABOUT 6 MONTHS BACK (EARLY PART OF 2017)

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH, 3RD AND 4TH SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS, THE VEHICLE HESITATES. SOMETIMES IT IS SOMEWHAT CLEAR TO ACCELERATE, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING A WALL THAT WILL NOT MOVE. I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ECU AND A POSSIBLE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY THE NHTSA PROACTIVELY, AND NOT LEFT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER TO SEE IF THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF. IF THE CAR FAILS IN MOVING TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HIT ME FROM BEHIND. AT THIS TIME, I AM HAVING TO GO FROM 2ND SPEED TO 4TH SPEED BY 40 MPH TO GO AROUND 3RD GEAR ALTOGETHER. THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE CAR SHOULD OPERATE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD AT ANY TIME.

I HAVE 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS A VIBRATION ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE ROAD. I SEARCH IT ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST EVERYONE THAT HAS A 2012 TO 2014 CAMRY HAS THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD ( HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, ECT.) AT BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDERS. THIS FROM MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE IS A MASSIVE MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE TOURQUE CONVERTER AS WELL AS THE ECU. THIS COULD AND WILL CAUSE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS SHOULD AND NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS AT 30-45 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE GAS. IF YOU HIT THE GAS AND SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN ENOUGH, IT STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. STARTED AT JUST 45MPH, NOW HAPPENS AT 30 AND 35 MPH AS WELL. IN READING OTHER FORUMS, THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A FIX FOR THIS. SOME HAVE BEEN TOLD A COMPUTER UPGRADE, BUT THAT WAS ONLY TEMPORARY AND IT CAME BACK WORSE.

GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD UNDER CERTAIN SUN ANGLES COMPLETELY OBSCURES VISION THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. AT TIMES WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE AT A CRAWL. IN ONE INSTANCE, WE ALMOST RAN INTO A FLAGPERSON WHO WAS STANDING IN THE ROAD DIRECTING TRAFFIC AROUND A WORK CREW.

CAR TOTALED IN SEVERE ACCIDENT AFTER OWNERSHIP OF EIGHT MONTHS. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MCLOUGHLIN BLVD IN PORTLAND OR AND MY TOYOTA WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A CHRYSLER WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT HIT SEVERAL OTHER CARS (BELIEVE THE POLICE OFFICER SAID 6.)

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY COMING HOME, WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM ABOVE. WE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD DROPPED FROM THE SKY AND FELL ON OUR CAR. THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND GLASS WAS FALLING ONTO US AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 5 MILES(GOING ABOUT 40 MPH) UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. UPON OBSERVATION THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF WITH GLASS CONTINUING TO FALL AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE MOON ROOF, IT FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA TOYOTA OF MEDFORD (1420 N RIVERSIDE AVE, MEDFORD, OR 97501) WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE WEATHER. THE DEALER LATER STATED THAT THE SWITCH COULD BE FAULTY, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH LITHIA TOYOTA OF MEDFORD WHO STATED THAT THE BCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND IT'S WAS GREAT UNTIL THE COLD WEATHER HIT YES ANTIFREEZE PROBLEM STARTED SLOWLY LOOSING ANTIFREEZE AND NOW INSIDE OF CAR STINKS ANTIFREEZE. I REAL LISE MUST BE A HEATER CORE PROBLEM. DID ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THE WARRANTY IS DONE. SO MUCH ON AVERAGE DOES IS COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

'TAKATA RECALL' FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED COULD/WILL RELEASE HARMFUL METAL FRAGMENTS RUPTURING THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S) AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REPAIR IS NEEDED. WILL CONTACT TOYOTA MANUFACTURER. HAS NOT DEPLOYED YET.

DRIVERS' SIDE SEAT BELT FAILS TO RETRACT COMPLETELY UNLESS "COAXED." THIS LEADS TO IT BEING INADVERTENTLY BLOCKING THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. THIS BEGAN AT OR ABOUT 45,000 MILES. THIS IS ABNORMAL FOR A SEATBELT, IN MY EXPERIENCE, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY 1991 GMC S-15 STILL HAS NO PROBLEM RETRACTING BELTS, WITH 243,000 MILES ON IT. GIVEN THIS CONDITION, THE SRS SYSTEM OF THE SEATBELT LOCKING IS QUESTIONABLE!!! DEALER SERVICE WRITER CLAIMED REPAIR/REPLACING DEFECTIVE RETRACTOR IS AT MY EXPENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LEFT THE ROAD AND BECAME AIRBORNE BEFORE LANDING ONTO THE GROUND.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DUE TO THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, I SLOWED DOWN THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL. THE CAR TOOK OFF I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT STILL HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE ABOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING AND ACCELERATING. I HAD FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND HOOD. THE VEHICLE I CRASHED INTO BACK BUMPER WAS ALSO DENTED.

WHEN DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS, THE ABS, SLIP AND WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON SUDDENLY. I WOULD EXPERIENCE A SEVERE DECREASE IN BRAKE FUNCTION (I WOULD NEED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET THEM TO APPLY PROPERLY). THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE THE SERVICE CENTER WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE A FAILED ABS ACTUATOR. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE CAMRY HYBRIDS, AS TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 2006-2011 CAMRY HYBRIDS FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. (UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE A 2012 HYBRID AND THE SERVICE CENTER WOULD LIKE TO CHARGE ME OVER $3K (!) TO FIX THIS ISSUE.).

THE DOORS OPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION ALTHOUGH THEY ARE LOCKED. BY MISTAKE I PULLED THE HANDLE WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION AND THE DOOR OPENED IT T HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. TOYOTA EMPLOYEES SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL, BUT ANY CAR SHOULD OPEN THE DOORS WHEN IT IS MOTION.

CAR HAD NO PROBLEMS TIL I REACHED THE 120000 MILE MARK NOW THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT NOTICE,BURNING OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON

DOOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING FAILING. I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUT OF 4 PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, AS AN EXAMPLE, WHERE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR CHILD OUT OF THE CAR, THE LOCKS COULD FAIL.

TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING 3 TIMES IN SUCCESSION. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FULLY RELEASED THEN DEPRESSED AGAIN TO REGAIN FUNCTION EACH TIME.

SHIFT LEVER LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BUTTON HAD TO BE PRESSED TO RELEASE LEVER AND REVERSE OUT OF PARKING STALL. ONCE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF.

ACCELERATING UP A PARKING STRUCTURE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE FULLY RELEASED THEN DEPRESSED AGAIN TO REGAIN FUNCTION.

SHIFT LEVER LOCKED IN PARK POSITION, COULD NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE OUT OF PARKING STALL. HAD TO PRESS SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON TO SHIFT TO REVERSE. THEN ONCE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS​ REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE SHIFT LEVER LOCKED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT DAY. THE RELEASE BUTTON HAD TO BE PRESSED EVERY TIME. THE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS RUNNING.

THE TWO FRONT HEADLIGHT COVERS DEVELOPED A MELTED AREA ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL

MY SON WAS TURNING A CORNER AND HIS CAMRY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING HIM TO GO OVER A MEDIAN, DAMAGING THE CAR. THE ACCIDENT WAS ON 2/18/17. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA THAT SAME DAY. TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED ON MONDAY 2/20/17. AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT SHOWS THE ACCELERATION. THIS REPORT WAS RECEIVED 3/24/17. TODAY IS 5/3/17 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA AS TO THE INVESTIGATION OR SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARENT CORPORATION TELLS THEM IT IS OK. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND. EVERY TIME I CALL THEY SAY IT WILL BE ANOTHER 30 DAYS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A CALL OR YOU WILL RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THE MAIL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE DON'T WANT TO GET ATTORNEY'S INVOLVED BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH AN ATTORNEY BUT WOULD PREFER FOR TOYOTA TO JUST DO THE RIGHT THING. CAN YOU ASSIST?

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT TWO REPLACED. NOW THE TWO REAR DOORS ARE NOT WORKING APPROPRIATELY. WHEN I GO TO USE THE KEYLESS ENTRY THE LOCKS DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL. I HAVE TO UNLOCK THEM MANUALLY. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING WITH THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER AND LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT FAILURE HAD BEEN PRESENT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT SEEMED TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT TWICE ONE BACK ON OCTOBER 2014 AND RECENT ONE WAS ON FEBRUARY 27, 2017. BOTH WAS NOT MY FAULT. I WAS DRIVING ON A GREEN LIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE SUDDENLY CAR TURNED LEFT. I LOST CONTROL. I ENDED UP HITTING OTHER CAR AND THEN THE PROPERTY ON THE CORNER. MY CAR IS TOTALED, THE FRONT IS COMPLETELY CRASHED AND MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY DURING THE ACCIDENT.

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY, MY WIFE AND I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM ABOVE. WE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD DROPPED FROM THE SKY AND FELL ON OUR CAR. THEN I NOTICED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR OF GLASS FALLING OFF THE BACK WINDSHIELD. THE SUV FOLLOWING BEHIND ME WAS CHANGING LANES TO AVOID THE GLASS. THEN I OPENED THE SUNROOF VISOR AND GLASS WAS FALLING ONTO US. WE EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAW A GAPING HOLE IN THE SUNROOF. THE HOLE WAS GAPING OUTWARD AS IF THE EXPLOSION COME FROM INSIDE.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN), THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE ABOUT 20 FEET OR 20 MPH AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. . THIS HAPPENED AT THOSE INTERVAL. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED.

I WAS DRIVING 2012 CAMRY LE AT 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY HEARD A POP AND FOUND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND STAYED FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. DURING THAT TIME THE STEERING WAS HARD TO ROTATE AND ALSO THE RADIO LOST POWER. WHEN THE EPS LIGHT GONE THE STEERING WAS EASY AND RADIO STARTED WORKING. SINCE IT WAS NIGHT, AROUND 11.30 PM, NOT MAY CARS WERE THERE, LUCKILY NOTHING HAPPENED. IT WAS SCARY THAT IF IT WOULD HAPPEN DURING RUSH HOUR. I AM SCARE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER TO CHECK THIS OUT.

VEHICLE HAS 27,500 MILES AS OF TODAY'S DATE. FRONT STRUT TOWERS ARE RUSTED AND MUST BE REPAIRED. TOYOTA OF ROCKWALL, TX REFUSED TO MAKE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. TOYOTA NATIONAL OFFICE REFUSED TO PAY FOR REPAIR. THEY TOLD THAT MY WASHING THE MOTOR CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NONSENSE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WASHING CAR MOTORS FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS WITH NO PROBLEM! THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. NO COVER OR DRAIN WAS MANUFACTURED INTO THE TOWER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE WARNS ME THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF FAILURE. ANY HELP THAT YOUR AGENCY COULD GIVE ME WILL BE APPRECIATED I SPOKE WITH SERVICE WRITER JASON AT TOYOTA ROCKWALL, TEXAS AND HE TOLD ME THAT SERVICE MANAGER MR. STEWART APPROVED THE DECISION SPOKE WITH RANDAL AT NATIONAL TOYOTA CASE # 1702133219.

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON OK HWY 412, AND I HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND SHATTERED GLASS FALLING INSIDE THE SLIDING COVER. THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. *TR

THE CAR WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, OVER $12,000 FRONT END DAMAGE IN A FRONT END COLLISION. A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF OUR CAR FROM A SIDE STREET. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE WHICH IS WHAT IS PROMPTING THIS INQUIRY.

TAKATA RECALL: MY TOYOTA CAMRY IS NOT FORMALLY PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED DURING AN ACCIDENT CAUSING SHARP PIECES TO HIT MY FACE, ARM, CHEST, AND I HAD A MOUTH FULL OF GLASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TEETH. MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WHEN A MOTORCYCLE HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE.

SRS AIRLIGHT IS ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS SPIRAL CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

THE STEERING COLUMN ON MY 2012 CAMRY SE WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION. THE LEVER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LOCK THE COLUMN INTO POSITION KEEPS FALLING OPEN, FROM GRAVITY, ALLOWING THE COLUMN TO TELESCOPE OUT, BE PUSHED IN, PULL UP, OR DOWN, WITH THE VERY LITTLE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO REPAIR THIS, THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE COLUMN FOR $1,400 SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (OVER 36,000 MILES). THE COLUMN BEING SO PLIANT, FALLING OUT OF POSITION MAKES DRIVING, ESPECIALLY TIGHT TURNING OR SUDDEN STOPS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE SEAT IN ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. THE TRACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SEAT IS THE CULPRIT. I HAVE REMOVED THE SEAT TO INSPECT IT AND THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT BUT IT WASN'T MOVING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE THE SEAT MOVE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. IT FEELS LIKE IT MAY COME OFF SOMETIME. *TR

TIRES ARE ALWAYS LOSING PRESSURE

SEVERAL LUG NUTS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. AT LEAST ONE LUG NUT HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS. CRACKS WERE NOTED DURING TIRE ROTATION.

TAKATA RECALL LESS THAN 4 YEARS ALTHOUGH WITH LITTLE HIGH MILEAGE, MY BRAND NEW 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY MAKES NOISES WHEN I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO BALISE TOYOTA SCION OF WARWICK TO CHECK AND SERVICE ADVISOR MENTIONED THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT MY OWN COST. AND THE NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. WHY IS A BRAND NEW LESS FOUR YEARS OLD CAR NEED REPLACING TRANSMISSION? I HAVE 2 FRIENDS WHO OWNED THE SAME CAR AND MODEL AND YEAR, AND THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THEY HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF LOWER MILEAGE. THEREFORE, I THINK 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY'S TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEM.

VERY BSD HESITATION ON ACCELERATION VERY DANGEROUS

AC WOULD TAKE ITS TIME COMING ON, FELT LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO BLOW. NOW ITS COMPLETELY BROKEN. FOUL SMELLING ORDER WHEN AC TURNED ON.

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER, VEHICLE TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *SMD TOYOTA HAD NO OTHER PROBLEM FOR THE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER DID NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION. *JB

DOOR CHECK SPOT WELD FAILURE ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR

I WAS IN MY GYM'S PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR TO A STOP AS IT MOVED FORWARD INTO THE PARKING SPACE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND. INSTEAD, THE CAR CONTINUED DRIVING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, AND THEN I HEARD A SOUND OF ACCELERATION, AS IF THE CAR WAS REVVING ITSELF UP TO A HIGHER SPEED. THINKING THAT THE BRAKE HAD NOT ENGAGED, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PLACED IT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, STEPPING HARDER, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. AT THIS POINT, WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR JUMPED UP ONTO THE CURB WHILE STILL ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, RAN OVER THE SIDEWALK. ROLLED UP AND OVER A TWO-FOOT HEDGE THAT RAN PARALLEL TO THE SIDEWALK, THEN CRASHED INTO THE BRICK ENFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE CORNER OF THE GYM BUILDING. THE BRICK COLUMN STOPPED THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT LEFT A LARGE DENT IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR'S BUMPER THAT WAS EMBEDDED WITH CHUNKS OF CONCRETE. IT ALSO DENTED THE HOOD OF THE CAR, PUSHING IT OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE REPORTED MY ACCIDENT TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. I AUTHORIZED THEIR REVIEW OF MY CAR'S EVENT DATA RECORDER AND AM AWAITING THEIR INVESTIGATION REPORT. THIS FRIGHTENING ACCIDENT LEFT ME VERY SHAKEN. IT FELT AS IF I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT ALL. IT SEEMED AS IF SOMETHING HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR AND MY ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD MOMENTUM BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE HAD ZERO IMPACT. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION. THEY ARE LETHAL WEAPONS ON OUR CITY STREETS!

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAPPENED SO FAR. JUST TO KNOW IF MY CAR AIR BAGS NEED TO BE REPAIRED

TIRS GO DOWN BACKED SEAT BELT DON'T WORK SPEED DON'T WORK WELL

SUSPENSION PROBLEM: STEERING NEEDS OVER-CORRECTING ON HIGHWAYS TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT. HITTING ANY DEFECT IN THE ROADBED CAUSES THE CAR TO BOUNCE AND JAR CAUSING DIFFICULTY WITH STEERING AND MAINTAINING SAFE FORWARD TRAVEL. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIAGNOSIS WAS A LEAKING FRONT STRUT. SERVICE WANTED TO REPLACE LEAKING STRUT FOR $500. (NEW STRUT ONLY). VEHICLE HAS 38,163 MILES. VEHICLE WAS AN OFF-LEASE USED PURCHASE WITH 32,698 MILES. STRUT NOT COVERED BY WARANTY WHICH EXPIRED AT 36,00 MILES.

EVER SINCE I GOT THIS CAR THE TIRES HAVE BEEN NOT HOLDING AIR IN THEM AND I HAD TO DO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS PUT AIR IN THEM SO I COULD FEEL SAFE AND ALL I GET FROM TOYOTA IS CALL THIS PERSON BECAUSE IT IS NOT ARE FAULT.

MOON ROOF EXPLOIT WHILE DRIVEN ON INTERSTATE 10

ABS, BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON

WHEN I AM DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35 TO 55 THERE IS A VIBRATION AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GRINDING, I TOOK IT TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND THAT WE CAN EITHER CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THREE SEPARATE VISITS OR ADD A VIBRATION STABILIZING ADDITIVE. THE ADDITIVE WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE NOW THEN BEFORE. I BELIEVE IF TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER I STILL OWE 13,000.00 ON MY CAR AND DO NOT FEEL IT SHOULD BE MY RESPONSABILITY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IT MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AT ANY MOMENT NOT SAFE FOR A WOMAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THIS SITUATION HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH. WHEN I HAVE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR ON IDLE. MY TRAC, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE FROM OTHER CAMRY'S OWNER ONLINE. WHEN THEY GO TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL THEM IT IS A SENSOR. BUT IT IS NEVER RESOLVED. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR? I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR. THIS IS SCARY FOR ME DUE TO ME HAVING 2 KIDS.

THE CAR HESITATES FOR THREE TO FIVE SECONDS AFTER DECELERATING, OR WHEN TURNING A CORNER, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND TOLD ME THERE ISN'T ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CARE. THEY LIE. OVER 200 PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS ON ONE SITE ALONE.

FEELS LIKE I AM ALWAYS TRAVELING ON A HEADWIND WITH MY STEERING ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO WANDER SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS TIRING AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THE CAR GOES ONE WAY, WHILE I WANT IT TO GO ANOTHER WAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE A FEW DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NO RESOLVE. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HERE IS THE LINK... HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/310-7TH-GENERATION-2012/420139-CAMRY-2012-STEERING-PROBLEM.HTML PLEASE HELP!

THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND THE FRONT BUMPER RIVETS CAME A LOOSE WHILE DRIVING CAR CAUSING THE PLASTIC COVERING IN THE FRONT THE PROTECTS CAME APART. AND I WAS ON 35 COMING FROM DALLAS TEXAS TO AUSTIN TEXAS.

ALUMINUM TIRE RIMS BIND TO THE STEEL BRAKE DISKS THEY MOUNT ON MAKING THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OFF IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO INCLUDE A LEVER OR HAMMER OR SOME WAY TO PREVENT THIS. I HAD A FLAT ON A BUSY FREEWAY, THE STICKING TIRE MADE A DANGEROUS MOMENT A LOT WORSE.

ONCE MY CAR APPROACH 40 TO 45 MPH REGARDLESS IF IM ON THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY IT HAS A VIBRATION. NOT SURE WHEN IT STARTED BUT I KNOW IT WAS LIKE IN BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2015 TO CURRENT.

ON 4/15/16 DEALER DIAGNOSED MY 2012 CAMRY WITH 28K MILES WITH THE MOON ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE RATTLE. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR $1300. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SUBJECT OF TSB 0151-13. I ONLY HEARD THE POP WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT WAS WORSE ON SUNNY/HOT DAYS. I WOULD HEAR THE POP WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING AT LOWER SPEEDS.

I AM GETTING A FLUTTER WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE WHEEL, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THE SECOND TIME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME TO HEAR WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE STATED IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THAT THEY HAD REPLACED A FEW OF THEM. HE SAID THEY WOULD DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THEN REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER LATER THAT WEEK. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK LATER THAT DAY STATING MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL OF THE TORQUE CONVERTERS AND HE WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STILL COVER IT, BECAUSE THEY HAD COVERED OTHER VEHICLES. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK OVER A WEEK LATER TO STATE TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD ONLY COVER HALF OF THE COST. THIS DEFECT IS SOMETHING TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THE COSTS FOR THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE GOOGLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF 2012 CAMRY'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS OF A MALFUNCTION THAT TOYOTA CAUSED. IF THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS, THEY MOST DEFINITELY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS. MY CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED AND I HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. TOYOTA DIDN'T SELL DEFECTIVE ENGINES BEFORE, BUT NOW THEY DO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. REGARDLESS IF MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T FALL IN LINE WITH THE RECALL LIST, I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO INCLUDE IT AND HAVE TOYOTA FIX MY CAR. I'M IN THE LAST YEAR OF PAYING FOR MY CAR AND I HAVE TO PUT OUT ALMOST $5,700.00 OUT FOR AN ENGINE? THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND COVER THEIR DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION.

I REAR ENDED A JEEP WRANGLER GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. THE JEEP WAS STATIONARY AND MY CAR WAS IN MOTION MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HIT MY FOREHEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSED A LARGE KNOT AND CUT ON MY FOREHEAD.

IN SPITE OF NEW BRAKES, 2 ALIGNMENTS AND 2 DIFFERENT SETS OF TIRES THE CAR, PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA IN DEC 2015, CONTINUES TO WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD/TRACK POORLY AND WILL PULL QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN I BRAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD TWO CLOSE CALLS OF NEAR HITTING THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE PULL. THIS CAR WAS IN TENDED FOR MY TEENAGER BUT IN ALL GOOD CONSCIOUS THE ISSUE IS OF SUCH CONCERN I DO NOT FEEL IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. I HAVE THE TOYTOTA DEALER I PURCHASED FROM THAT MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TRADE IT IN AND ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER STATING THAT IT IS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. SUNROOF/MOONROOF MAKES A POPPING, THUMPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AS IF SOMETHING IS LOSE. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 23K MILES AND NO LONGER COVERED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THERE IS NOISE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK OF THE CAR WHEN HIT ANY BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD SOUNDS LIKE POPPING OR KNOCKING NOISE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES

WHEN LEFT FOOT IS MOMENTARILY LEFT ON BRAKE WHILE DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR WITH RIGHT FOOT ACCELERATION BEGINS THEN STOPS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS CAUSING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM BUILT INTO THE CAMRY TO OFFSET "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" ISSUE. SO, THEY ADMITTED THEY ELIMINATED A MAJOR ISSUE WHILE CREATING ANOTHER ISSUE. TOYOTA'S LOGIC IS RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!

REAR WINDOW DEFROST QUIT WORKING. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID GROUND WIRE MELTED OFF GLASS. GROUND WIRE IS HOUSED INSIDE BACK PANEL. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT HAS AFFECT MY MIRRORS, AS THEY WILL ALSO NOT DEFROST. IN OHIO WE HAD OUR FIRST REAL SNOW FALL THE WEEK BEFORE AND THAT IS WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT I HAD NO REAR WINDOW OR SIDE MIRROR DEFROST. I CALLED METRO TOYOTA EXPLAINED PROBLEM AND THAT I BELIEVE IT WAS RELATED TO RECALLS THEY DID IN DECEMBER, BECAUSE PRIOR I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THEY ADVISED I BRING IT IN 1/21. I DID THAT AND THAT IS WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT RELATED TO RECALLS AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE GLASS REPLACED. CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN AND AREA THAT I HAVE NO IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. A REAR DEFROST SYSTEM NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE TIED TO THE AC ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY THEIR HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS, BUT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ME I AM SURE THAT IT WILL BE A GROWING CONCERN FOR OTHERS OR IT MAY ALREADY BE AND NOT REPORTED BECAUSE THEY TILL YOU IT'S RARE; BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT COVERED, YOU HAVE TO FIX IT! I PLAN TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED.

MY 2012 CAMRY HYBIRD WITH LEATHER SEATS. MY PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE WEIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANT, IE, IF OVER 200 LBS AND IT WILL PROBABLY WORK CORRECTLY. BUT IF THE EXITED OCCUPANT WAS LESS THAN 200 LBS, THE AIR BAG WILL ALARM AND MESSAGE FOR THE (FORMER OCCUPANT) PASSENGER TO USE THE SEAT BELT. I'M TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WARN ME THAT I MAY HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT SOMETHING THAT NEVER OCCURED BEFORE THEIR RECALL.

THE CAR SEAT IS PERFECT BUT THE CAR SEAT BASE IS HORRIBLE IT MOVES AROUND EVERY TIME I TURN AND I KNOW IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WITH THE BABY. NOW THE MODEL I HAVE IT'S NOT EVEN LISTED ON THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ..SO I FONT KNOW IF IS ON RECALL OR NOT.

AT 39,000 MILES, MY DRIVER DOOR STOPPED LOCKING/UNLOCKING WITH THE REMOTE. A MONTH LATER THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FAILED AND A MONTH LATER THE RIGHT BACK SEAT LOCK FAILED, AND THEN THE LEFT BACK SEAT LOCK FAILED. ALL SECURITY HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY, USING THE EMERGENCY KEY LOCATED IN THE REMOTE. BATTERIES IN REMOTE CHANGED. DEALER (JOE MYERS) DECLINED REPAIR SINCE OUT OF MILEAGE WARRANTY (BUT NOT YET 3 YEARS OWNED). SEEMS ODD THAT 4 ACTUATORS ALL FAILED SINCE THEY ARE DIFFERENT PARTS. REPAIR ESTIMATE $2,200.

STRONG MOLD SMELL FROM AIR VENTS. ESPECIALLY STRONG FOR FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING.

MY CAR IS A 2012 CAMRY, MY PROBLEM IS THE KEYLESS CONTROL WON'T UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR, IT IS ASHAMED OF TOYOTA NOT REPAIRING MY CAR THAT ONLY HAS 33K MILES AND THEY TOLD ME IS OFF THE REGULAR WARRANTY AND IT'S NOT COVER CAUSE I DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, IT'S THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STATED A PERSON FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, PART COST ABOUT $300.00 AND ABOUT $700.00 IF THEY REPAIR IT, I JUST CALL IT THE EASY WAY TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY OFF THE CONSUMER OR ETHER YOU PAY THOUSANDS IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THOUSANDS REPLACING CHEAP PARTS AND THAT'S WITH OUT COUNTING THE $150.00 FOR WHAT THEY CALL THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SO I STARTED RESEARCHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND I ENCOUNTERED THAT IS NOT ONLY THE CAMRY BUT MANY OTHER MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MAL FUNCTION, PLEASE I CALL FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER, MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 33K MILES. THANK YOU.

STEERING IS STIFF CAUSING OVER/CORRECTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT CAUSES ARM TO GET TIRED DRIVING EVEN AFTER ONLY A FEW MILES. IT IS FRUSTRATING AND TIRING TO DRIVE I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2007 CAMRY XLE AND THERE IS NOW COMPARISON AS TO HOW EASY THE 2007 STEERED. NEED HELP.

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW WITH MY 2012 CAMRY NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I TURN A CORNER & MOST RECENTLY HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD DOWN A CITY STREET. I COULD BE GOING ABOUT 25-35 MPH, PRESS THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN BUT THEN WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN, THE CAR WILL STALL MEANING IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL & JUST COASTS. I'VE HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR & THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD CARS ALMOST RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS & I HAVE CHILDREN WITH ONE OF THEM BEING ONLY 2 YEARS OLD & THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES BUT THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME THAT IT'S NORMAL & THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS EXPERIENCING SOME TYPE OF DELAY OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT & THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED MY CAMRY BRAND NEW IN 2012 & I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THE SERVICE CURRENT ON MY CAR. OF COURSE TOYOTA HAS PROOF OF THAT IN THEIR SYSTEM. I NEED FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE & CORRECT IT BEFORE MYSELF, MY CHILDREN OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS SEVERELY HURT OR LOSE OUR LIVES OR CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN ESPECIALLY WHILE IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE TOYOTA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE.

THE REAR DOOR CHILD'S LOCK IS FROZEN AND WILL NOT RELEASE. I SUSPECT THIS WAS A FACTORY PROBLEM. WE ARE BOTH 74 AND NEVER HAD REAR PASSENGERS SO WE ONLY DISCOVERED THIS IN JULY,2015. AUTONATION AGREED ON THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAY THEM $1091.49. THE REAR DOOR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THE REAR PASSENGER COULD NOT EXIT THROUGH THIS DOOR.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN AT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. MY VEHICLE T-BONED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT ILLEGALLY AND NEGLECTFULLY CROSSED MY WAY. MY VEHICLE'S FRONT WAS WAS DAMAGED, FROM MIDDLE PART ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVER SIDE PART. BUMPER, HOOD, DRIVER SIDE FENDER, FRONT FRAME METAL, AND OTHER PARTS WERE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL THOSE DAMAGES AND NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED CAUSING MORE INJURY TO OCCUR....UPDATED 12/29/15 *BF UPDATED 2/23/2016 *JS UPDATED 04/24/18*JB *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS LIGHTLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED, BUT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER UPDATED THE SOFTWARE FOR THE COMPUTER AND PROVIDED A USB WITH TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VERY WET UNDER PASSENGER SEAT. INTERIOR FOGGING UP DURING TEMP CHANGES. WHERE THE AIR VENT COMES OUT TO THE BACK SEATS. ALSO WET CARPET ON DRIVERS SIDE UNDER DASH. ODOR AS WELL FROM AC, MOLDY SMELL. CAR STATIONARY. COULD THIS SHORT OUT THE HEATER OR ELECTRICAL ELEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC SEAT AS WELL AS MILDEW MOISTURE PROBLEMS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNING, THE STEERING SUDDENLY "FROZE" (POWER ASSIST FAILED) AND A STEERING WHEEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME AND THEN TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION. AFTER INVESTIGATING, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PIG VOLTAGE WAS LOW (11 VOLTS) AND FLUCTUATED WHILE TURNING. UPON REMOVAL OF LOWER DASH AND STEERING COLUMN, FOUND NO BOLT IN GROUND WIRE FROM EMPS ECU. INSTALLED A BOLT AND RESECURED GROUND WIRE TO INSTRUMENT PANEL SAFETY BAR, AND THEN VOLTAGE WAS NORMAL AND STEERING WAS NORMAL DURING ROAD TEST. COULD NOT LOCATE ORIGINAL GROUND BOLT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 32 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED STERNUM AND HER HUSBAND HAD CONTUSIONS IN HIS RIB CAGE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 1/15/16 *CN

FIRST, THE TRANSMISSION IS REALLY JERK WHEN ACCELERATE AT STOP LIGHT. IT ALSO JERK REALLY HARD WHEN DOWN SHIFT. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS DELAY. SECOND, THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO JUST SHUT OFF BY ITSELF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEN THE LIGHT CAME OFF AND THE RADIO RESTARTED BY ITSELF AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE THE ELECTRIC HAS SOME PROBLEM.

CAR HAD EXTREMLY POOR QUALITY IN INTERIOR MATERIAL. REAR BUMPER, RIMS AND SEAT COMING APART FOR A LESS 40K MILES SUPENSION FEEL UNSAFE WHEN UN DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS VIBRATION ON THE VEHICULE TOYOTA JUST SAID VEHICULE WAS DESIGN LIKE THAT. ANY PROFESSIONAL REPORT ABOUT THAT CONDITION

HAVE WORKED WITH A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER PAST TEN MONTHS REGARDING THE FOLLOWING ISSUE: WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THEN YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR THEN LOSES POWER FOR 4 SECONDS. MET WITH THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST RECENTLY WHO HAD ME DRIVE. WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, HE NOTICED I PLACED MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE ONCE. HE HAD ME LOOK DOWN AT MY FOOT AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR LEFT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN ACCELERATE WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAUSED BY THE "SOFTWARE" DEVELOPED TO ELIMINATE THE "SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM" TOYOTA EXPERIENCED TWO YEARS AGO. THIS CAN OCCUR ANY TIME IF DAY. I TOLD HIM THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE DISAGREED AND SAID IT WAS AN OPERATOR ISSUE. YOU CAN IMAGINE STOPPED FOR A STOPLIGHT. YOU GET THE GREEN YOU TRAFFIC IS HEAVY YOU ACCELERATE AND THEN 4 SECONDS LATER THE RPM'S DROP DRASTICALLY AND ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU COMES VERY CLOSE TO REAR-ENDING YOU!!! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN DRIVING IN THE MERGING LANE ON INTERSTATES. ONE DOESN'T CONSCIOUSLY BRAKE USING YOUR LEFT FOOT. IT JUST HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. IF ONE EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS TOYOTA EXPECTS THEIR CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE THEIR LEFT FOOT AMPUTATED! I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL FRIENDS (ONE EMPLOYED 25 YEARS IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY) AND ALL HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING.

WHEN RE-APPLYING THE GAS WHILE STILL MOVING (20-40 MPH) OUR 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE (4-CYL, AUTOMATIC) SOMETIMES HESITATES. IT FEELS LIKE A SHUTTER IN THE GAS PEDAL, BUT I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS IN THE TRANSMISSION OR IN THE ACCELERATOR/FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THINGS SMOOTH OUT AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMALLY. IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT IN RECENT WEEKS (NOW 3 MONTHS SINCE THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED).

EXPERIENCE A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF STOP AND GO I'M HAVING ACCELERATING ISSUES WHERE THE CAR STALLS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP. HAS HAPPENED PROBLEM 5-10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEB. 2015. VERY DANGEROUS. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF LINKS WHERE MANY OTHER CAMRY AND TOYOTA OWNERS SPEAK OF THE SAME ISSUES. BUT IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP. HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSIONS-MAY-HESITATE-WHEN-ACCELERATING-072 HTTPS://FOURWHEELDRIFT.WORDPRESS.COM/2007/01/16/TOYOTA-AVALON-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS-EXPOSE-TOYOTAS-PROBLEM-REPORTING-PROBLEMS/

TO THE POINT, TRUNK WILL NOT STAY OPEN ON INCLINE. CLOSED ON MY HEAD WHILE I WAS GOING TO RETRIEVE ITEMS. CALLED IT IN AND TOYOTA TOLD ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX IT.

WHEN DRIVING THE SUNROOF AREA CRACKS AND POPS. IT HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THERE IS ALSO A TSB0151-13 ISSUED.

WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE I NOTICED THE STEERING GOT HARD TO HANDLE AND HARD TO TURN.

WHEN EASING OUT FROM A NEAR STOP AND APPLY THE GAS THE CAR STALLS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH GAS YOU GIVE IT, THE CAR JUST STALLS. YOU HAVE TO LET UP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT TRIES TO CATCH UP WITH GREATER SPEED THAN YOU NEED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS PROBLEM TO 2 TOYOTA DEALERS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE FIRST PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER REP SAID IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO THIS. THE OTHER DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED WHEN I WAS HALF-WAY INTO THE LANE OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND I DON'T TRY AT ALL TO BEAT TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR AND WALL. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CHEST PAINS FROM THE FORCE OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYING. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK PAINS FROM THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY CAMRY AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE. THE CAR HAD BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY UNTIL I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE. SUDDENLY THE CAMRY STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. SINCE I DID NOT WANT TO CRASH INTO ONGOING CARS OR GO OVER THE EDGE UNTO THE STREET BELOW, I CHOSE TO CRASH INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE ABUTMENT INTO THE CINDERBLOCK WALL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A GENTLEMAN TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE ABUTMENT BUT SAID THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING NOR COULD HE GET THE CAR TO MOVE. HE WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. TWO HOURS LATER THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD REMOVE THE CAR FROM ITS SPOT WITH THE BRAKES WORKING. THE BODY SHOP CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL. CORPORATE TOYOTA HAD AN EDR RUN. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED: "AFTER ROAD TESTING YOUR VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, CONDUCTING ACCELERATION AND BRAKING TESTS, WE FOUND NO ISSUES." TOYOTA DID NOT ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE IT GIVES NO WARNING OF AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM; THEREFORE, I DONATED THE CAR TO AN INSTITUTION WITH THE STIPULATION THAT IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. AND WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR, I ALSO HAD PURCHASED THE PLATINUM VEHICLE SERVICE AGREEMENT THAT HAD A 0 DEDUCTIBLE AND AN EXPIRATION OF 75,000 MILES. I THOUGHT WE HAD LEMON LAWS IN PLACE FOR THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. ULTIMATELY I HAVE HAD TO ASSUME THE FINANCIAL BURDEN CAUSED BY WHAT IS REALLY A TOYOTA PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WENT ABOUT 30 FOOT OR LESS THAN HESITATES. THE TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THE CAR WAS NOT GOING TO MOVE AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF MY BUMPER. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY WIFE HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND A BIG RIG LAID ON HIS HORN BECAUSE HE HE MAY HAVE THOUGHT SHE HAD JUST TAKEN HER FOOT OFF THE GAS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON TO GIVE A WARNING THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BAD SITUATION FOR ALL TOYOTA CARS. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE PLACE REGISTERED 124 OCCURRENCES ANOTHER 98. THAT IS JUST THE PEOPLE THAT REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. SOMEONE MAY GET KILLED BEFORE THIS IS CORRECTED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON MY CAR WHEN THE FACTORY INSTALLED A UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. WE DID NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM BEFORE THAT. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY AND THE MAN LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHEN I RETURNED TO GET THE CAR I SHOWED HIM A COPY OF THE 124 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HOW DO YOU THINK I KNEW WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU MENTIONED IT. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT THE DEALER THE MECHANIC REPROGRAMMED THE ECU MODULE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, IT INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,148.

WHEN I START TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM A REST POSITION IT STARTS TO DRAG FOR APPROXIMATELY 30-50 FEET BEFORE IT STARTS THE DRIVE NORMAL.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012-2013 CAMRY VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE DRAIN HOSE FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER MAY BECOME CLOGGED CAUSING WATER TO ACCUMULATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER UNIT HOUSING. THE ACCUMULATED WATER MAY THEN LEAK THROUGH A SEAM IN THE HOUSING ONTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT OF THE MODULE. A SHORT CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME DISABLED OR INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V014000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM BARON AUTO OUTLET (185 E SUNRISE HWY) FREEPORT, NY. THIS CAR WAS PAID IN CASH TOTAL ($14,995). THE DEALER SENT THE TITLE OF THE CAR AND THE RETAIL CERTIFICATE OF SALE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DMV TO REGISTER THE CAR THE DMV SEND ME BACK SAYING THAT THE PAPERWORK WAS NOT CORRECT AND I NEEDED TO TAKE THE PAPERS BACK TO THE DEALER SO THEY CAN CORRECT IT AND GIVE ME THE RIGHT ONE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PAPERS THEY SAID THE DEALER SHOULD KNOW. I HAVE TRIED OVER AND OVER TO GET THE NEW PAPERS FROM THE DEALER SHIP, BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP ME ON THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I USE THE RECIRCULATE ON MY AIR CONDITION THE SYSTEM DEVELOPS A HORRIBLE MOLDY SMELL. THIS WILL HAPPEN AFTER I DRIVE USING THIS AND COME BACK TO THE CAR AFTER IT WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF - THE SMELL WILL NOT GO AWAY UNLESS I STOP USING THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON - THIS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THE A/C ON THE COLDEST SETTING BECAUSE THAT SETTING TURNS THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON ON. RECENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT APPROVED AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY HEALTH WITH THE POSSIBLE GROWTH OF MOLD.

THE TIRE PRESSURE TENDS TO FLUCTUATE OFTEN REQUIRING WEEKLY AIR CHECK TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER PSI. THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE PSI COLD WILL READ 36 , FRONT PASS 34 , REAR DRIVE R35, REAR PASS AT 36, WHEN THE TIRES HEAT UP AFTER APPX. 38 MILE OUT AND YOU CHECK THE PSI IT WILL READ 39, 39. 36,37, OR AT TIME YOU MAY GET 39,37.39.F YOU HAVE TO COME TO A STOP LIGHT, SUDDEN STOP, OR A STOP AT NIGHT ON A NON FAMILIAR ROAD LIKE I HAD TO IN THE RAIN ON A UNEVEN ROAD THE VEHICLES TAIL END TENDS TO SLIDE TO THE LEFT AND THE FRONT END FEELS AS IF YOU HIT A POT HOLE DO TO SLIGHT WEAR AND TEAR GROVES IN THE ROAD THAT DON'T BECOME APPARENT UNTIL YOUR ON THAT 1 TO 2 FEET SECTION IN THE ROAD. IS THIS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH ANY OTHERS OR AM I OVER BEING OVER CONCERNED WITH THE DRIVE PERFORMANCE ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR ROADS. MY CONCERN IS THE ABUSE ON THE BRAKE COMPONENTS, THE STEERING , THE TIRES , FUEL CONSUMPTION AND KEEPING CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE . IS IT A COMPUTER PROBLEM, WHEEL COMPONENT, TIRES, OR ME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA FOR DURABILITY, EFFICACY, AND MY FAMILY SAFETY ON THE ROAD .

THE STEERING WHEEL JUST GOT HARD DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR REPORT

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE AND THN PRESSING THE GAS SOON AFTER THE CAR HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONGS BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE RPM'S WILL GO UP BUT THE CAR IS BARELY MOVING, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT PICKS UP SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT IT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

ON THE COMMUTE TO WORK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I WAS IN LINE WITH SEVERAL OTHER CARS. AS THEY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, I ALSO BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN ONE OF THE CARS IN THE FRONT OF THE LINE STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN ALL THE CARS INFRONT OF ME ALSO STOPPED AND AS I WENT TO ALSO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN AT ALL, FAILING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES CAUSING MY CAR TO DRIVE INTO THE BACK OF THE STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF ME, RESULTING IN MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE ACCIDENT.

MY CAR WAS BRAODSIDED BY A MOTORCYCLE CAUSING $9500. DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, FRAME, PANELS, WINDSHIELD, INTERIOR. MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I HAD WHIPLASH, SEVERE LACERATIONS TO MY MOUTH, TEETH LOOSE, FACE, EYES, NOSE, THROAT, ARMS, & UPPER BODY FROM CHARDS OF GLASS AND WHIPLASH. I CONTACTED TOYOTA & FILED A COMPLAINT, THEY SAID IT WAS TOO LATE TO INSPECT AS THE INS CO HAD THE CAR TOWED & REPAIRED. BUT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT REPAIRED AS IT NEVER DEPLOYED. EVEN THE POLICE SAID THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. ....UPDATED 12/16/15 *BF UPDATED 10/17/2017*CN

VEHICLE NOW AT DEALERSHIP FOR IRREGULAR ACCELERATION PATTERNS, AND RANDOM HESITATION. CAN START OFF AT LIGHT AND VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND NORMALLY, AND THEN TAKES OFF. THIS IS SCARY WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AND BLAMING ME. I'VE READ MANY INSTANCES ON LINE WITH SAME PROBLEM. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS BEFORE THERE'S AN ACCIDENT? THIS IS DANGEROUS. I'VE SINCE BEEN ADVISED OF PROBLEMS ALSO WITH THIS DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON XPRESSWAY JUST PULLING ONTO IT,PUSH DOWN ON GAS TO GET SPEED AND PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAMRY WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THEN 40 I LET UP AND TRIED AGAIN AND STILL 40, THEN ALL AT ONCE IT STARTED GOING FASTER AND FASTER

START IN TO TRAFFIC ANIT WILL STOP ACCELERATING FOR 2OR 3 SECONDS , PEOPLE BEHIND YOU WILL ALMOST HIT YOU AFTER YOU START WHEN IT HESITATES

VEHICLE HAS DEFECTIVE SUNROOF DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION FROM TOYOTA FACTORY. DEFECT CAUSES A POPPING/SNAPPING SOUND WHEN CAR GOES OVER BUMPS. TOYOTA ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPAIR DEFECT T-SB-0151-13. HOWEVER ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES WITHIN 3YR 36K WARRANTY WINDOW. NOT SURE WHAT SAFETY ISSUES MAY BE CONSIDERED. *TR

3/31/2015 7:05 AM AFTER I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO TURN IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. I BRAKED AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. I RAN INTO THE RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF MY GARAGE, THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS FRONT YARD ON THE RIGHT OF MY HOUSE. AS I SPED THROUGH MY NEIGHBORS YARD I MOWED DOWN A SMALL TREE. I THEN CROSSED THE STREET AND WENT OVER THE SIDEWALK AND STOPPED SHORT OF THE SUBDIVISION LAKE. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 CAMRY XLE HYBRID WITH 33000 MILES. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ON CENTER FEEL STEERING, IT NEEDS CONSTANT WHEEL MOVEMENTS TO STAY IN LANE. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MAY 2012. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SINCE OWNING THE CAR DUE TO THIS STEERING PROBLEM. THE SECOND YOU TURN YOUR HEAD, THEN RETURNING YOUR ATTENTION STRAIGHT AHEAD, MY CAR IS STARTING TO VEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. ALMOST ANY DISTRACTION CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY. I KNOW THROUGH A TOYOTA OWNER ONLINE FORUM AND THRU FRIENDS THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BEING REPORTED BY THIS HAPPENING. TOYOTA DEALERS DO NOT SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS STEERING PROBLEM IS AS COMMON AS IT SEEMS TO BE. NO ANSWERS ARE TO BE HAD FROM ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIPS THAT I AM AWARE OF. SOMEONE NEED TO START FIGURING OUT WHY THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. *TR

WHEN A LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I TRY AND GO FORWARD MY TOYOTA CAMRY WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR 2 TO 7 SECONDS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOFTWARE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, HOW EVER IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT OCCURRING ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS ANOTHER ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHERE I WILL BE GOING ALONG AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL STALL OUT FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES NOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS THE FIRST ONE REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THE OTHER TOYOTA KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA NATIONAL SERVICE CENTER AT 1 888 2709371 AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE, THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEMS AND THEY VOLUNTARILY EXTENDED MY WARRANTY ON THE SPECIFIC PARTS THEY KNOW CAN CAUSE ISSUES. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, AND HAVE TRIED TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS I CAN TAKE TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED. *TR

BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, I SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER BRAKING AND HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION. CAR HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES AND BEEN DRIVEN 29 MONTHS. AT THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER AND WOULD COST OVER $3000 TO REPAIR. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I AM LUCKY NOBODY WAS HARMED BUT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FAILURE ON A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SAFE AND RELIABLE, AND A RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR IN ADDITION. AFTER I COMPLAINED THEY WROTE OFF 80% BUT STILL COST $600 OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE TOYOTA BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

WHILE WAITING ON A RED LIGHT, CAR WAS STRUCK HEAD ON. CAR WAS MOVED BACK 300 FEET. AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS A RESULT BODILY INJURY RESULTED. ...UPDATED 05/11/15 *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN ENERGY SAVER A/S TIRES, SIZE: 205/65/16 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED TREAD SEPARATION WITH EXCESSIVE CRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THAT THE FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

THE TRUNK FALLS ON YOUR HEAD, NOT ENOUGH TENSION TO HOLD THE TRUNK STEADY. *TR

VEHICLE ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES AFTER LEAVING THE PAVEMENT. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER RECEIVED MULTIPLE BROKEN RIBS; FRACTURED VERTEBRA, HEAD INJURIES, BROKEN COLLARBONE. DRIVER WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR ALMOST 10 WEEKS AND HAS SUBSTANTIAL RESIDUAL DISABILITY PROBLEMS REQUIRING CONTINUAL MEDICAL AND PHYSICAL REHAB.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND CHANGING TO SECOND GEAR. IT JUST STARTED LAST MONTH. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CORRECTED WHEN I HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL REMEDIATED BUT TRANSMISSION STILL HESITATES. TRANSMISSION ISSUES???? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE LITERALLY DRIVING THE NEW CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT. I WAS TRAVELING BEHIND MY WIFE IN MY TRUCK WITH HER BEHIND THE WHEEL IN THE NEW CAR. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT AT TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WHEN BRAKING OR NOT, VERY INTERMITTENTLY. I FIGURED THAT SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR IT WOULD TAKE TIME FOR ANY NEW DRIVER TO GET FAMILIAR TO THAT NEW VEHICLE. IT IS VERY RARE THAT I WOULD BE FOLLOWING HER IN A SEPARATE VEHICLE WATCHING HER BRAKE. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, PREFERABLY AT NIGHT I WOULD DRIVE IT MYSELF AND TEST TO SEE IF I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES BUT ONLY APPLYING A CERTAIN OF PRESSURE TO NOT SIGNAL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, AND I WAS ABLE TO DO SO. WHILE DRIVING I WOULD LOOK IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND WATCH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. AT CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS I FOUND A WAY WHERE EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I CAN ACHIEVE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT SIGNALING MY BRAKE LIGHTS, AND I WOULD BE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ASSUMED THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED EITHER BY THE HYBRID REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM TRIGGERING ON, AND/OR THE LITTLE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH SIGNALS THE BRAKE LIGHTS. AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2014, I GOT FED UP WITH THE ISSUE AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR AND HAD CLAREMONT TOYOTA, FIX THE SENSITIVITY OF THE BRAKING SWITCH. WITH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY UNATTACHED AND TURNED 180 DEGREES AROUND FACING FORWARD THE TECHNICIAN TESTED AND SIMULATED WHAT I HAD CLAIMED. I EVEN RODE WITH THE TECHNICIAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE HE DROVE AND WAS ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT SIGNALING THE BRAKE LIGHTS. HE ADJUSTED THE SWITCH TO THE MOST SENSITIVE SETTING SO THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ALWAYS SIGNAL WHEN BRAKING. IN MY OPINION IF ANY AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD SIGNAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OUT OF GAS SERVICE STATION AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A FENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED AND NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

ON THIS DATE I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HENRICKS OF TOYOTA OF APEX BECAUSE WHEN BACKING SLOWING WITH VEHICLE AND TOUCHING THE BRAKES IT WOULD MAKE NOISE AS IF THE CALIPERS WERE LOOSE. THE MECHANIC STATED HE COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING, SO THEN I ASKED HIM TO COME WITH ME WHILE I DRIVE IT. WE WERE ON AN INCLINE BACKING AND I PUSHED THE BRAKES AND HE STATED THE NOISE THAT HE COULDN'T HEAR, HE HEARS NOW AND STATED THAT THE BRAKES ARE LOOSE IN THERE AND THAT IS NORMAL BECAUSE IT IF WAS TIGHTER IN THERE THEN IT WOULD MAKE SQUEALING NOISE AND THAT WITH THE MOISTURE THAT RUST CAN BUILD UP IN THERE AND CAUSE THAT NOISE. I HAD [XXX] DOCUMENT ON MY COPY OF THE INVOICE. I WILL BE CALLING THE NC STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO FILE A WRITTEN COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ANY NOISE. THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER DEALER IN THE AREA THAT DID NOT WANT TO BACK UP THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAD TAKEN THE DEALER TO COURT AND WON A JUDGMENT FOR THE CUSTOMERS AND THEY HAD TO PAY UP!

THIS VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND VIBRATES AS IT ACCELERATES BETWEEN 20 TO 30 MPH AND ALSO FROM 40 TO 50 MPH. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I TOOK THE CAR IN. THE FIX HAS NOT WORKED AND THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE. WHAT DO I DO? *JS

AS I AM DRIVING I CAN HEAR A CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF THEY FOUND IT WAS A WELD THAT HAD BROKEN LOOSE AFTER SOME RESEARCH I'VE REALIZED THAT MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. TOYOTA DOES NOT SEE IT AS A DEFECT WHICH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE IF THE WELD THEY PLACED IS NOT HOLDING SHOULDN'T THEY REWELD IT? WELL THEY WON'T AND THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AND MORE CONSISTENT. THEY ALSO MADE A PART TO FIX THIS THEY CALLED IT A "SUNROOF SILENCER KIT". NOW THEY EVEN TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO DROP THE HEADLINER GET TO THE WELD AND INSTALL A SHIM WHICH WILL PRETTY MUCH MAKE THE NOISE GO AWAY. THEY REFUSED TO DO IT UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *JS

DRIVER RAN INTO REAR END OF TRUCK WITH HEAVY DUTY TRAILER HITCH. THE FRONTEND OF THE CAMRY SUSTAINED $5700 DAMAGE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

WHEN SLOWLY GOING OVER A BUMP OR UNLEVEL GROUND, THE BODY SEEMS TO FLEX AND MAKE LOUD NOISES. THE NOISE COMES FROM AREAS OF THE ROOF AREA EXTENDING FROM THE MOON ROOF TO THE REAR OF THE CAR, AND ALSO FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR OF THE CAR. IT GIVES THE SENSATION OF BROKEN WELDS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 CAMRY. PURCHASED IT NEW AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AROUND 3,500 MILES. FIRST, NOTICED A MILDEW SMELL THAT THEY STATED WAS FROM THE AC WHICH THEY FIXED. CONTINUED TO HAVE THE ODOR AND FOUND OUT 15,000 MILES LATER THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE AC THAT WAS PRESSING ON MY AIRBAGS SO THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT RESULTED IN EVERY LIGHT AND ICON IN MY CAR FLASHING AND BEEPING WHICH STARTED AROUND 20,000 MILES. OCCASIONALLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON AS A RESULT OF THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A 'GHOST IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM'. THEN MY AC BLOWER WENT OUT AROUND 40,000 AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AROUND 45,000 MILES AND WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE. THEY SAID THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE THIS WAS REPLACED, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STARTED MAKING THE SAME NOISE AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ACTUATOR AS WELL. OVERALL, I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR SINCE TOYOTA IS SUPPOSEDLY ONE OF THE BEST AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES AROUND. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE AS I FELT IT WAS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO LEAKING TUBES/FLUIDS THAT RESULTED IN AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL GLITCHES THAT AFFECTED THE CAR'S ABILITY TO TURN ON/DRIVE. *TR

REQUEST CONTACT WITH INVESTIGATORS REGARDING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE FOLLOWING FRONT END COLLISION IN 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. VEHICLE HAD PASSED RECALL SERVICE LAST YEAR. MY WIFE WAS STRUCK IN THE LEFT FRONT AND QUARTER AREA BY NEGLIGENT DRIVER DURING A SNOWSTORM ON 1/23/2015. SHE WAS UNABLE TO APPLY BRAKES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SO FAR, THE PRIMARY APPRAISAL IS $4,600.00 IN DAMAGES TO DRIVERS DOOR, LEFT FRONT PANEL, LEFT WHEEL WELL AND DRIVE TRAIN, THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER, RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, HOOD, AND ROOF PILLARS. THE TEAR DOWN IS IN PROGRESS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL APPRAISAL. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, SHE CALLED AND I ADVISED HER TO ACCESS WINTER SURVIVAL KIT. SHE SAID THE ENGINE RAN AND USED THE HEAT UNTIL THE POLICE ARRIVED. WHEN MY WIFE STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR TO MEET THE POLICE, SHE SLIPPED ONTO BLACK ICE AND FELL ONTO HER LOWER BACK AND PELVIS. HER PHYSICIAN EVALUATION IS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS. THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY'S INSURANCE COMPANY AND CLAIM NUMBER IS:NATIONWIDE 321-301 GB. MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND CLAIM NUMBER IS: ANPAC 16A2VJ879 I HAVE PROVIDED A REPORT TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID AN INSPECTOR WILL BE INVOLVED. THAT CLAIM NUMBER IS: TOYOTA [XXX]. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 30 MPH WHEN I HERD A POP AND THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THE POWER STEERING QUIT I WAS IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC WITH ONLY ARM STRONG STEERING. I GOT OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS I COULD AND CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAREFULLY TO GET THERE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT I WOULD BEEN GOING 65 OR 70 AND HAD THIS HAPPEN...UPDATED 11/12/15 *BF THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE.

RECENTLY I NOTICED THE FRONT DOOR PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT WORK WITH THE REMOTE AND I HAD TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM INSIDE. I HAD TOYOTA CHECK IT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ATTENUATOR WHICH I REPLACED. TWO DAYS LATER THE RIGHT SIDE BACK DOOR IS UNABLE TO OPEN BY REMOTE AS WELL. WHEN THE DOORS OPEN THE CAR GIVES OFF A STEADY NOISE SUGGESTING THAT THE ATTENUATOR IS NOT WORKING. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR CAMRY. I HAD A 1997 CAMRY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA SAID THAT MY CAR EXCEEDED THE 36000, 36 MONTH WARRANTY. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 1997 VEHICLE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB , EXCEEDING $500.00 PER DOOR. A BIT PERPLEXED. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED JUST OVER A MONTH AGO. MADE A 1 HOUR TRIP YESTERDAY WITH OUR 2 CHILDREN. SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK TWICE AS I WAS ENTERING THE CITY WE WERE VISITING. ONE WOULD'VE BEEN SERIOUS DUE TO LOCATION. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DECELERATING TO GO AROUND SHARP TURNS BY LETTING OFF THE GAS, BUT NOT USING BREAK. PRIOR TO ENTERING TOWN, THE CRUISE HAD BEEN SET, BUT WAS TURNED OFF BEFORE ISSUE OCCURRED. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER FOR NEARLY 2 DECADES. WE'VE OWNED 6 DIFF TOYOTAS (TUNDRA, TACOMA, PRIUS, 2 CAMRYS, AND A LEXUS LS 400) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING BUT GREAT QUALITY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY, WITH THE NEGLIGENT MANNER IN WHICH IT SEEMS TOYOTA HAS HANDLED THESE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS, IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE ME TO RECONSIDER EVER OWNING ANOTHER TOYOTA. IF IT CAN'T BE RESOLVED (WHICH IT SEEMS IT CAN'T), I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND GET A DIFFERENT CAR NOW, SINCE I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY LONG TIME FAVORITE AUTO MANUFACTURER. VERY DISAPPOINTED! I WOULD WELCOME DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER. *TR

RODENTS HAVE DISCOVERED THE SOY COMPOUND USED TO INSULATE THE WIRES. MY DAUGHTER HAS HAD TO REPLACE WIRING TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. THE DAMAGE TO THE WIRING RESULTS IN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES INCLUDING STALLING. THIS IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE ISSUES AFFECTING GM COBALTS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A PARKWAY AT 55 MPH THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING CEASED TO WORK RESULTING IN EXTREME DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING/STEERING THE CAR. AFTER GETTING THE CAR OFF THE ROAD I RESTARTED IT AND THE EPS WAS WORKING. I CONTINUED TRAVELING AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THEM (THE EPS WAS WORKING AT THIS POINT). THE DEALER CONTACTED TOYOTA TECH AND THE FAILURE WAS IDENTIFIED AND IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL CASES OF EPS FAILURE AT SLOW SPEEDS, NONE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

BEEN HAVE SHIFTING AND SHUDDERING PROBLEMS FOR OVER 15 MONTHS AND 20K MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO DEALERSHIP 2 DOZEN TIMES FOR TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE SYMPTOMS, HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP, SOUTHEAST TOYOTA AND TOYOTA CORPORATE HAVE ALL DENIED THERE'S ANY PROBLEM AT ALL. WELL, TSB 008612 WAS ISSUED ON JUNE 11, 2012 BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO RECORD OF THE SERVICE BEING PERFORMED ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED SEVERAL MONTHS BEFOREHAND. ON OCTOBER 31, 2014 A LSC FOR A TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS ISSUED. HMMM, IF NO PROBLEM EXISTS, THEN WHY KEEP ISSUING TSB'S AND LSC'S? EASY ANSWER IS TO AVOID A SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE PERFORMED THIS FOR ME WEEKS BEFORE TOYOTA NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC. THIRD PARTY MECHANICAL ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT NONE OF THESE CORRECTIONS HAVE EVER BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA IS MOST CERTAINLY COVERING UP ANOTHER EXPENSIVE SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO THE MECHANICS TO THE ENGINEERS.... ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE CORPORATE OFFICE. THEY'VE EVEN IGNORED MY ATTEMPTS TO MEDIATE A BUYBACK AS PER THEIR WARRANTY COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH I CLEARLY HAVE A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED LEMON. I, LIKE MANY OTHERS, WILL HAVE TO SETTLE THIS IN A COURT OF LAW. *TR

AS MY WIFE AND I WERE RIDING IN THE CAR WE FELT A BRIEF SHUDDER... WE THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE FROM THE ROAD.... AS TIME WENT ON WE FELT IT ON DIFFERENT ROAD SURFACES.... THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT THE SHUDDER FELT LIKE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE DOWN SHIFTED.... WE STARTED SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS DIRECTED TO TOYOTA WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT 5 WEEKS LATER THAT TOYOTA WAS ISSUING A SERVICE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE FOR U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER.... WE HAD THIS UPGRADE PERFORMED AT HOFFMAN TOYOTA ON NOV.26,2014 BEFORE RECEIVING ANY INFO FROM TOYOTA CORP ... THE SHUDDER HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED...I WILL BE CALLING THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS SERVICE UPGRADE HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM... *TR

THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEELS OR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND THAT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES.

WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR WHEN THE RPM'S ARE BETWEEN 1,500 AND 2,500 RPM, THERE IS A SHUDDER AND DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THE CAR SHAKES UNTIL I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL VERY HARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA DEALER (MARTINSBURG, WV) FOR ANALYSIS ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE (JANUARY 3, 2103). THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE WAS A RECENT CAMPAIGN BY TOYOTA TO UPDATE TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE AT APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA IN MARTINSBURG, WV (NOVEMBER 12, 2014). THE SOFTWARE DID NOT CHANGE THIS BEHAVIOR. I TOOK IT IN TO BACK TO APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA (NOVEMBER 17, 2014) AND THEY RE-EVALUATED THE CAR AND THEY STATED THAT IT "OPERATES AS DESIGNED BY TOYOTA." I FIND THIS CAR DANGEROUS TO OPERATE BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. ALSO, MY WARRANTY WILL SOON EXPIRE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS CAUSING TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. *TR

TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR A PROBLEMATIC TORQUE CONVERTER FOR 2012 THRU 2014 TOYOTAS CAMRYS, I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY. A SIMPLE COMPUTER DOWNLOAD WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER DID NOT. IM JUST WONDERING IF THIS SHOULD BE A REGULAR RECALL, AND TOYOTA IS HIDING THIS PROBLEM FROM YOU AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC AGAIN. *TR

I GOT A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR SIX MONTHS NOW AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND PRESSING ON THE GAS WHEN I GET BETWEEN 10-20MPH THE CAR HESITATES/JERKS. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT I TAKE TO THIS PLACE THAT THEY HAVE WORK ON THERE CARS. AND THAT IS ALL THEY COULD DO.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE SUNROOF OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY EXPLODED. IT WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION-TYPE SOUND. THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES IN SIGHT AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY.THE SUNROOF VISOR WAS CLOSED, THEREFORE NO GLASS DEBRIS AFFECTED PASSENGERS. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO INSIST THAT SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT WARNING.

ON FRIDAY THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO QUEENSBORO TOYOTA IN NY TO CHANGE MY OIL AND CHECK WHY MY BRAKE ABS SIGNAL HAZARD LIGHTS WERE ON. THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND I WAS TOLD "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAKES" AND THE SIGNAL WAS REMOVED. ON SEPTEMBER 24TH, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY BRAKES FAILED ON ME, SO I RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS THEN TOLD "WHO EVER CHANGED YOUR OIL, THEY PUT THE WRONG BRAKE FLUID AND IT DAMAGED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. MY BRAKE FLUID WAS NEVER CHANGED BECAUSE I HAVE A 2012 NEW CAR AND IT IS UNNECESSARY TO CHANGE IT NOW. I TRIED EXPLAINING MY ISSUE TO THE SUPERVISOR OF THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I WAS TOLD TO DO MY OWN INVESTIGATION ON THE CONTAMINATION OF MY BRAKE FLUID.

ON 9/24/14, WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, I WAS HIT BY A TRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL AND WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO IMPACT BUT MY TURN SIGNAL WAS ON, I WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT AND I WAS BREAKING. SUDDENLY, I HEARD THIS LOUD CRASH, WHEN I LOOKED TO MY LEFT, I SAW MY DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR BEING PUSHED INTO MY DOOR, THEN I SAW THE TRUCK. MY CAR DID NOT STOP. I WAS GOING APPRX 15 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR MAYBE, AND AGAIN I WAS TRAVELING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL AND WOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING A TURN. I THINK MY CAR WAS CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT. ONCE I WAS HIT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE, SEEMINGLY FASTER. AT THAT POINT I WAS VERY MUCH AWARE THAT MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND THE BREAKS WERE NOT WORKING. AMAZINGLY, I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE CORNER (WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANYONE COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION) AND TURN THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT (WITH NO CONTROL OF THE BREAKS). IN FRONT OF ME IN THE PARKING LOT, WHICH IS NOT A BIG LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF A BUILDING THERE. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND WAS FORCED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, HOPING THAT WOULD STOP THE CAR. IT DID. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, A TICKET WAS ISSUED TO ME STATING THAT I DROVE WITHOUT DUE CARE AND CAUTION. MY INSURANCE AND TOYOTA HOTLINE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. THE PROCESS IS JUST BEGINNING AND I WILL NOT KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES UNTIL THE "BLACK BOX" IS INSPECTED. THIS HAS BEEN VERY UPSETTING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS OUTCOME. I THOUGHT TOYOTA'S ACCELERATION PROBLEMS HAD BEEN DEALT WITH. *TR

I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT IS NORMAL NOW FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR TO PERFORM A TEST ONCE THE CAR CHANGES GEARS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THE ACTUATOR MAKES A GRINDING/ODD NOISE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HIT THE BRAKES OR GO INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. I DEMONSTRATED THIS ISSUE WITH TOYOTA IN PERSON AND THEN WAS LEFT FOR 3 DAYS. AFTER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OPENED A TICKET WITH TOYOTA TECHNICAL SUPPORT, IT IS NOW DEEMED "NORMAL" EVERYDAY YOU START YOUR CAR AND WHEN THE CAR SWITCHES TO SECOND GEAR, "IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PRESSURIZE AND PERFORMING IT'S TEST". THE SOUND HEARD IS NORMAL. GIVEN THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH TOYOTA AND THEIR ACTUATORS. I HOPE THEY HAVE DEEMED MY BRAKE ACTUATOR AS SAFE BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE NEWS, A FAULTY BRAKE ACTUATOR IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE CALLED UP TOYOTA CARE WHO SAID "WE ONLY RELY AND TRUST WHAT ARE TECHNICIANS SAY". TOYOTA BETTER HAVE THEIR STORY STRAIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A BAD RECORD IN THE PAST WITH SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
