2011 Toyota Camry Problems & Complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the sun was reflecting on the dashboard, causing a glare on the windshield, which obstructed the driver's vision. The dashboard was disintegrating and was bubbling. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that a recall for the failure had expired. There was no assistance provided. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the dealer was awaiting the part to arrive to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a TSB associated with the failure had expired, and no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

Upon looking to purchase another vehicle I ran the vin on my 2011 Toyota camry and noticed when looking at NHTSA it showed an incident that someone reported under my vin number, So I figured I would try vin # with 0 (zero) instead and nothing came up. So now I'm wondering what's going on with vin #? Is it possible for 2 toyotas to have same vin?

Premature Ball Joint Wear A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is from 2014. I barely purchased it not long ago. I have been having the oil from my ball joint driver side wheel spray all over the car randomly. This recall says everything I experience with it. It makes a clicking noise while turning my wheel to the right but a softer clicking noise if turning left.

Dear NHTSA Investigators, I am writing to formally report what I believe is a significant safety defect in certain 2007–2011 Toyota Camry vehicles, specifically related to excessive engine oil consumption in models equipped with the 2AZ-FE 2.4L four-cylinder engine (primarily 2007–2009, with some reports extending to later years). This issue causes the engine to burn oil at an abnormally high rate—often 1 quart or more every few hundred to 1,200 miles—without any visible external leaks. Owners frequently report no adequate warning from the dashboard oil light or other indicators before the oil level drops critically low. If the engine runs out of oil while driving, it can lead to rapid overheating, internal component damage (such as scored bearings or cylinder walls), and sudden engine seizure or catastrophic failure. Such a failure while the vehicle is in motion poses a serious safety risk, including: potential for crashes, including rear-end collisions if the vehicle stops abruptly without warning, or veering into other lanes/obstacles. Sudden loss of engine power. Increased likelihood of loss of control etc. This problem has been widely documented through thousands of owner complaints (e.g., hundreds on sites like CarComplaints.com for the 2007 model alone), NHTSA ODI reports, and Toyota's own Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and Warranty Enhancement Programs (such as ZE7 for certain models). While Toyota addressed it via a warranty extension (not a full recall) involving piston/ring replacements for qualifying vehicles after an oil consumption test, many owners—particularly those outside the original coverage period or with higher mileage—have faced expensive engine repairs or replacements out of pocket. The lack of a mandatory recall means the issue persists in many vehicles still on the road. I am concerned that this defect creates an unreasonable risk to drivers, passengers, and other road users. I had an issue with this and I needed to fill up 4.5Q

Our daughter was driving our car at 40 Mph. Driver comming from other direction turned into trying to turn left. Other driver hit our car head on, left front driver side area. No airbags deployed. Car equipped with front and side airbags. Our daughter had to go to the hospital for injuries.

I got my license back last Thursday. I had noticed before I started driving how shiny and sticky the dash area was/is. I was already thinking of having it covered. Since Thursday, twice, I have been driving after dark, and lights reflecting off of the shine of the dash nearly blinded me. Tonight, I almost lost control and ran off the road. I have discoved that this was an issue with several years and models of your vehicles. I am a 53 year old disabled American single woman. I have no help, no money and too much stress. This issue not only adds stress, but has also endangered my health and the health of other motorists. I do not know if you did anything to fix these issues, but obviously, the previous owner did not care about the dangers, I DO.PLEASE contact me ASAP and tell me when and how Toyota will fix this dangerous model defect. I do not want the flaw to cause an accident and I can tell, IT WILL! Calli Atwell [XXX] I just got my liscense back last Thursday. Since I have been driving, twice, headlights reflecting off of the shiny sticky dashboard has nearly blinded me...it is a problem every time a light hits it. Tonight, I nearly lost control and was forced to run off the shoulder, rather than swerve into the other lane! It was scary and dangerous, not just to me, but also to other drivers. I know this was recalled, obviously the last owner didn't care about the dangers, Ido! I am a [XXX] , disabled woman with no money nor help. Please contact me ASAP REGARDING FIXING THIS DANGEROUS HEALTH RISK. CALLI ATWELL By the way,just Googled, there was even a recall!

I rear ended another vehicle and my airbags didn’t deploy bags did not deploy. The impact was hard enough to cause me to hit the steering wheel and I also hurt my hand. The front of my car was completely damaged and the car was considered a total loss. I am in the process of getting a EDR

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The dashboard of my 2011 Toyota Camry has melted and deteriorated over time. The surface has become soft, sticky, and shiny, likely due to prolonged sun exposure and heat. This is a known issue in this vehicle model. The dashboard is still in my vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The melting dashboard creates a glossy, mirror-like glare on the windshield, especially during the daytime or when the sun is directly hitting the dash. This glare significantly reduces my ability to see the road, traffic signals, other vehicles, and pedestrians, particularly when turning or driving toward sunlight. It makes everyday driving more dangerous and increases the risk of an accident. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has not yet been officially confirmed by a Toyota dealership or independent mechanic, but it is clearly visible and consistent, and I have taken photos documenting the condition. I plan to have it formally inspected. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Toyota, the police, or any insurance representative. However, I am willing to provide access for inspection by the manufacturer or any other relevant party upon request. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps or messages related to this issue. I first noticed the dashboard becoming sticky and shiny around June 2023, and the glare and surface deterioration have steadily worsened since then, especially during the summer months or after the car is parked in the sun.

Passenger sun visor broke years ago. I was able to keep it from falling down by using a large metal clip to hold it up, however it could not be lowered when needed by a passenger. Drivers sun visor broke (would not stay up) yesterday, blocking my view. I understand 2006-2011 camrys were recalled for this problem. However, I was told my vin # was not included. WHY? My car obviously has a visor defect. I was able to pull over and push it to the side, which interferred with my side vision, but was better than holding it up as i drove. Its very dangerous to have a visor fall straight down and block vision with no warning! Millage when passenger sun visor broke was apx.45000 to 50000. I purchased as a certified used car in Oct. 2016 from Sloan Toyota I am only driver and i qualify for low millage state inspections Today i received a quote from Sloan Toyota of $476.00 to fix both visors. Thank you for your help with this issue.

Police case : 2500011609 The failure of the airbags in my Toyota Camry placed both the driver and the minor passenger at significant risk of injury. While the airbags in the Ford vehicle deployed and presumably helped protect its occupants, my passenger was left unprotected, leading to sustained injuries that require ongoing medical treatment. This raises serious concerns about the reliability of Toyota’s airbag system. Collision between Toyota Camry 2011 with a 2005 Black Ford Freestyle. The Ford vehicle's airbags deployed, but the airbags in my Toyota Camry did not deploy, despite the severity of the crash. The airbag system in my Toyota Camry, specifically the airbag sensors and deployment mechanism, failed to activate during the crash. This failure prevented the airbags from deploying, which is critical given the impact severity. The vehicle was totaled due to extensive damage, and the airbag system in my Toyota Camry has not been inspected by the manufacturer yet. However, it should be made available for inspection by Toyota or a qualified independent service center upon request. The failure of the airbags to deploy exposed the driver and the minor passenger to increased risk of injury. The airbags are an essential safety feature meant to reduce injury during moderate to severe collisions, and their failure likely contributed to the severity of the injuries sustained by the passenger. The passenger, a minor, is now attending regular doctor appointments for treatment, indicating the serious nature of the injuries. Not able to perform her summer job and not able to appear in pre enrolled all Swimming events . She is unable to swim or move her body swiftly. Her gripping power is now too less on left hand side. •The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent service center to confirm the failure of the airbag system. However, the failure to deploy was immediately noticeable after the accident, and it was clearly documented in the police rep

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was an unknown sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 137,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 181,561.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while in the process of trading the vehicle at the dealer, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The dealer informed the contact that the Carfax history report of the vehicle displayed that the mileage was 193,889 on January 12, 2023. The contact also discovered that the vehicle was previously listed for sale with a mileage of 212,000 on July 14, 2024. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 121,000, and it was later discovered that the mileage was 212,000 on July 14, 2024.

I started noticing a glare on my 2011 Toyota Camry on the inside on the dashboard. It appeared shiny and I figured I accidentally cleaned it with the wrong product. It started at the closet point of the windshield so I didn’t worry about it. Today (6/4/25) I went to clean it again and noticed the whole dashboard was extremely sticky and NOTHING would clean it off. Paper towels and microfiber towels stuck to it. I noticed the dash was coming apart when I tried to clean it. I called Toyota customer service and they informed me they sent a letter in 2018 about the class action lawsuit and that they were replacing the dashboard. I do not remember ever getting this letter. They woman tried to ask someone higher up about trying to help me since the cut off date was 2021. They said there was nothing they could do due to it not being done in 2021. This is a safety issue due to the glare when driving. I believe this needs to be a recall and that customers should be able to have Toyota fix it. It’s continue to melt and it’s going to end up ruining the whole car. Please take cere of this, please check it as a recall. I would assume this would mess with the airbags as well. I cannot afford to have the whole dashboard replaced, when it should be a recall due to Toyota being at fault. It’s their responsibility to test these things and they failed big time with this. A dashboard should not melt.

The car accelerated uncontrollably for no apparent reason. I was pulling into a parking slot, preparing to put the car in park and stop the car. All of a sudden the car accelerated and slammed into a building.

The dashboard melted and everything sticks to it. also the visor to block sun unhinged on driver side and passenger side won’t go back up it just stays hanging down

Vehicle dashboard is melting.

Bought car like this not sure what happened. It’s a 2011 Toyota Camry LE

I own a 2011 Toyota Camry. The dashboard has begun to melt and is causing potential glare issues, making the windshield turn into a mirror. Toyota is aware of the issue, and offered to replace the part through a special service campaign, once in 2018 and in 2021, however, they did not send the notice to the correct address - which we confirmed with them was an outdated address. Since we just began having the problem with the vehicle, we contacted Toyota, however they are stating that they are no longer offering the repairs and that we will have to pay nearly $3000 to fix it ourselves, more than the car's trade in value.

Had a car accident and none of air bags deployed. Car rolled over several times and hit a ditch and property sign

The dashboard has become very sticky and shiny creating a very bad glare on my windshield. It makes driving more difficult when I cannot see.

The top dashboard is sticky, almost like a melting feeling. I've tried everything possible to no avail.

My car's VIN did not fall in the original recall of the sticky dashboard. Therefore, the dealership will not replace this without payment. I purchased the car from the dealership on a cloudy day, so I was not aware of this issue. I have increased light sensitivity and had to purchase polarized prescription sunglasses to see out my windshield every day, regardless of whether it is sunny or cloudy. If someone else drives my car, they can not see during daylight hours. It lessens during nighttime but is still a persistent issue otherwise. We've resorted to looking at coverlays to secure over the dash due to my inability to safely drive.

My 2011 Toyota Camry LE (2.5L, 2WD, 4 cylinder, automatic transmission) has been experiencing problems with oil consumption. I have to add a quart of oil between oil changes (add 1 quart every 2000 miles). I'm using the recommended oil type (OW-20). Also, I'm experiencing loud rattling noises coming from the engine after cold start up. The noise is very loud and usually quiets down after driving for about 5 minutes or so. These issues are very common for people who own this particular model. I'm wondering if there was a recall that I perhaps may have missed or wasn't informed on. This is a well known issue for toyota drivers. Something needs to be done to address these issues.

Top surface of my Dashboard have some very sticky surface. I tried to clean with soap and water, and some other chemicals but nothing works. It is so sticky that when I tried to use rags to wipe off, my rag got stick to the surface. Specially in a hot summer day it almost seems like the surface is melting. Sometime I feel like, some of my medical issues may be related to this too. Because recently I stop driving this car for work (which I usually do a 1.25 hrs commute} and some of my issues reduced quite considerably. I talked to toyota and they told me that they did had a recall for this issue but Since during that time I just barely bought this vehile with a small dealership, they never informed me and I never received any mail . But they said they send me in the mail. Now they said that recall duration is over and there is nothin they can do about it. So I am stuck with this sticky dashboard. I will appreciate if you can advise me

Subject: Concern Regarding Toyota Camry 2011 LXE Dashboard Issue - VIN: [XXX] Dear NHTSA, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a significant safety issue with the dashboard of my Toyota Camry 2011 LXE, VIN: [XXX] . We purchased this vehicle brand new and have maintained it diligently over the years. However, we have never received any recall notices concerning this issue, despite the dealer's claim that they were sent. The problem we are experiencing with our vehicle's dashboard is a sticky and peeling surface. Over time, the dashboard's material has deteriorated, becoming sticky and disintegrating. This poses a hazardous situation while driving, affecting both the aesthetics of the vehicle and safety due to impaired visibility and potential distraction. While I understand that Toyota has recognized this problem in other Toyota Camry vehicles and initiated a recall, our vehicle's VIN has been excluded from the recall list. We strongly believe that this issue is systemic and not confined to a specific range of VINs, and thus, our car should also be included in the recall. We kindly request the NHTSA's assistance in ensuring that our concerns are addressed promptly. We urge you to investigate the matter further and encourage Toyota to extend the recall to include our vehicle and others facing a similar issue. It is crucial to uphold safety and quality standards for automobiles in the United States, prioritizing the well-being of drivers and passengers. Furthermore, we would appreciate your guidance on the process to formally address this issue with Toyota. Our previous attempts to resolve the matter directly with the manufacturer have been unsuccessful, as they denied our request to include our vehicle in the recall. If you could provide information on the necessary steps to escalate our case or mediate with the manufacturer, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention on this INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The dashboard has become sticky and I am sensitive to the fumes it is giving off when I drive. I have to allow the car to air out as I have become dizzy when first entering the vehicle. I've contacted the dealer and was told a recall was performed, but I never received notice. No one has inspected my car, but this issue is well known by Toyota. There are no indicators of this issue other than the sticky dashboard and the fumes.

The dashboard has turned into sticky glue. Called Toyota and they said that they had send a mail regarding recall to get it fixed. I never received a letter and now they are saying that it is no longer under the warranty. The sticky/melting dashboard is safely issue as it creates shiny glare on the windshield and creates obstruction to the clear view.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Sear, safety belt, airbag and the speedometer 1.The driver side seat was powered by electricity, it moved forward by itself during the crash. However, the car battery was destroyed and caught on fire as soon as the crash happened. 2.The airbag might have a delayed deployment, which caused my right eye rupture. 3.The speedometer stopped at 93mph however the crash data retrieval report shows its 75 mph. The vehicle is available for inspection since I still have the vehicle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I suffered right eye globe rupture, basically lost my right eye. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Not that I know of. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

I need to know was there a recall on a oil consumption problem for my vehicle. There was an issue with me having to add oil to my vehicle constantly. I’m hearing stories that there may have been, but I didn’t receive any letter. And I just spent some thousands of dollars on an engine that I could not afford. PLEASE Help Me!! THANKS!!

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while his sister was driving the vehicle, while at a stop light, the engine continued to rev with the RPMs increasing. The brake pedal was being pressed during the failure. The vehicle then experienced unintended acceleration and drove into the intersection. The contact stated that the failure had occurred later the same day for a second time. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 175,800.

Sticky dashebord Dashboard very melt. When is sun come out every summer

Visor blocking driving visibility making it a huge safety concern Other vehicles 2007 to 2011 were recalled but not this one Tpyota says. BUT the issue is exactly the same as the other ones.

Clear coat on blue Toyota started peeling a couple years ago and I took my car to Toyota to have the paint repaired, and now it os doing it again. I have seen numerous blue Toyotas of varying models that are doing the same thing.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine maintenance that included an oil change; however, the contact stated that a week later she noticed that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact then stated that she checked the oil dipstick and noticed that the oil level was low and added two quarts of engine oil. The contact then stated that she was adding two quarts of oil per week. The contact notified an independent mechanic and was informed that the failure was a known issue. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

A Sticky dashboard - causing excessive glare on windshield. I've been servicing it at the authorized dealer I purchased from but never mentioned of recall or replacement. This is a manufacturing defect that should be a lifelong recall to original buyers?

The Camry is experiencing oil burning intake Manifold. On 14JUL22 at 163,286 miles the red light oil can drip light comes on and off in my dashboard. I take to Toyota of Freeman, they do the oil change and that is it. Then, at 168,786miles, within 4 months the red oil can drip light on my dashboard light comes on again. I go back to Toyota of Freeman the service rep. tells me that this problem will cost me between $3,500-$4,000. I went to another mechanic that is certified by Toyota and he said the problems is Piston Oil Ring needs to be replace. He called all the Toyota Parts looking for the Piston oil ring that is for the oil consumption. He stated nobody has it. In the meanwhile, every 1,000 to 3,000 miles my car runs, I have to check the oil stick not to burn all the way, because the engine will catch on fire. This is a very big safety issue that needs to be looked at. When I purchase Toyota, I went base on that this car will last up 250,000 like all of my Toyota cars had lasted in my past. I called Toyota HDQ and they is no recall for this issue but yes for Camry Hybrid 2007-2011 and a different engine. As i was doing my research in YouTube.com It seems there are more Camry with this same issue. This is a safety issue, if I ever forget to check my oil stick to see if I still have oil the car will get on fire. I believe Toyota has a manufacturing issue with the Piston Oil Ring not being available to repair the issue. This is high risk situation. They need to supply the part or fix the issue. This a liability issue.

I have had a sticky dash causing excessive glare on my windshield for years. I recently received a recall notice for my 2011 toyota camry about the paint. I asked them while I was there if anything could be done about the dash as well and was informed that there was a recall on the dash, but it was expired. However, I was never notified by mail or phone or email that there was a recall on the dash until it was expired.

Sticky dashboard

The Toyota dealership told me that the lower ball joints (LF & RF) must be replaced and that grease is leaking.

Purchased vehicle brand new and presently have a little over 76,000 miles. Driving on I-77 @ 65 my left Sunvisor suddenly came down impeding my view. Research informed me Toyota had a recall which had Expired. I knew nothing about the Recall but regardless they know it’s a problem but quoted me a price of $231.69️ to repair/replace. Why is Toyota allowed to punish customers for their malfunctioning issues. It’s frustrating and insulting. Please help

If vehicle is in drive with engine running on a hill and rolls back a significant distance while in gear engine may shut off leading to a loss in power steering and brake control once booster looses reserve. also delays ability to move vehicle increasing risk for accident that could be avoided. am able to duplicate concern reliably.

I am having an issue with a sticky melting dashboard in my 2011 Camry. I recently noticed this as I was driving and there is this glare that puts me and my family at risk every day. I bought my Camry brand new in 2011 for which I paid 32k for it and now I am being left with a dangerous dashboard. Toyota should be forced to help its costumers .

My dashboard on my 2011 Camry has recently started melting & is extremely sticky. One spot on the driver's side is really bad & causing a glare on my windshield. I am very concerned this is going to cause visibility issues while driving. This is a clear defect. After doing extensive research to figure out why this is happening & what to do, I called my local dealership on 7-22-22, then called Toyota Corp same day. They refused to do anything to help me! The rep told me an extended warranty was offered for various Toyota models due to sticky dashboards including my car, but that mine expired May 2021. When I told her I never received anything in the mail, she replied they only send out notices for recalls & this wasn't a recall. She suggested to get an estimate from my local dealership, then call back, but that they still couldn't cover the repair. I asked to speak with a Supervisor, but no one ever answered. The rep told me a supervisor would call me back within 24 hours...4 days later...still nothing. This is absolutely ridiculous that Toyota would expect me to repair this obvious manufacturing defect out of my pocket! My dash is ugly & dangerous! This is my third Toyota & I always recommend Toyota vehicles to friends/ family. I was getting ready to purchase another Toyota, but I'm so disappointed in Toyota that I'm seriously reconsidering. I can't believe they don't seem to care about their customers anymore than this.

Dashboard panel has become sticky and degraded. Light touch leaves indentations and marks with pieces of material breaking off.

THE SUPPLIED JACK DOES NOT RAISE VEHICLE HIGH ENOUGH WHEN USED ON PAVEMENT AS INSTRUCTED BY MANUAL. DASH MOBILE DIRECTION GIVES UNSAFE DIRECTIONS AND THE WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY STREET.

My 2011 Toyota Camry is using too much oil. I am the original owner and have always kept up with the oil changes. The car only has 76,822 miles. The first thing I noticed when I started my car up was lights on dashboard stayed on a few seconds longer than normal which the oil light was one of them. It was not due for an oil change yet but I decided to take the car in to see if the oil needed topped off. The oil didn't register on the dipstick. They had to add 2 qts. of oil. After I put 750 mi. more on my car, it started sounding louder. I took it back in to have the oil checked again, this time it was a quart low. I have these receipts with the mileage on them. I'm seeing other people have these same complaints. I bought this car because I thought it would be dependable. This is an issue I believe Toyota is aware of and they should have to do a recall on this. This is low miles for this car and I shouldn't be having this major of an issue.

Sunroof randomly exploded. I was driving approximately 40mph down a city road on 5/18/22 and the sunroof exploded dropping a 4x8 inches worth of glass shards and fracturing the rest of the glass. There was no debris, rough driving conditions or unlevel road when it happened. I was relatively safe when it happened as there was not any traffic, but if it were on the highway in traffic it could have caused issue. I have not done any inspections by manufacturer, insurance, etc. I was not sure how accountability works with it breaking for no reason, so I was just planning to buy a used sunroof and replacing it. There were no warning, just a random bang when it exploded.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

Driver side visor fell down. It has a faulty plastic bracket. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, Toyota issued a recall and replaced the broken visor. However, the same problem has occurred with the replacement visor. It is a safety issue as it can be difficult to drive in the sun without a visor.

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry with 72,000 miles on it. The dashboard has a melting issue where it leaves a residue on anything it comes in contact with and is sticky. The major safety issue is the glare that reflects onto the windshield while driving and interferes with visibility. I prior owner, an elderly gentleman, was unaware of any recalls/repairs that Toyota was providing. I called Toyota and they said that they are aware of this issue but cannot repair or provide reimbursements for repairs because there is no recall for their dashboard.

I came to a stop sign accelerated shifted into 3 rd gear stepped on the gas and it started to contract as if the car was shutting off, within seconds of grasping that effect it started smoking and than I seen flames as I just sat in the car wondering why this was happening instead of getting far away from the car as possible. They totaled my vehicle now im having a problem getting my full request which is 7,000 dollars. The engine light ended up coming on prior to this.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the dashboard had melted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The dashboard on my vehicle is sticky causing limited visibility when driving and is a distraction. I did not receive a recall on this.

my camry is grey

In hot weather, the dashboard is covered by thousands of tiny clear bubbles, which reflect onto the windshield, making safe driving difficult. Toyota told me that they issued a notice on this, offering to replace the dashboard, but the offer has expired. I believe this situation is a driving hazard and Toyota should be required to replace the dashboard at this later date.. The pictures show the reflection on the windshield (The reflections move around and this is a more benign example.), and what the bubbles on the dashboard look like.

My 2011 Toyota Camry has a deteriorating dash. It is sticky and very shiny in spots. The glare from this has made it very difficult to drive. I searched for info on this and discovered there had been a recall! I did not receive this notification, despite keeping my contact info current. My Camry has less than 83,000 miles. I am having trouble seeing through the glare, and no longer feel safe driving my Camry. Please help.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he noticed that the dashboard had air bubbles and was sticky. Additionally, there was a reflection from the sunlight on the dashboard onto the windshield which limited the driver’s visibility while driving. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the Technical Service Bulletin had expired. The vehicle was diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle crashed into the driver's side of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact did not know whether there were warning lights illuminated as he was knocked unconscious when the accident occurred. The contact was transported to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units. The contact sustained a severe concussion, lacerations on the forehead, bruised ribs, pulled muscles behind his heart. The contact had been seeking medical assistance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was totaled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

UNKNOWN Dashborad on my Toyota is very sticky and Toyota customer service told me that there was a recall back in April 2018 and it expired in Dec 2020. They mailed me a notice but I never recieved that noticed. Because during the same time I sold my property and moved to TEXAS from California. May be that is why I did not recieved that noticed. So now my concern is What causing the dashboard to be sticky? Is there any chemical that causing the dashboard to be sticky and how it may effect if somebody's health if he is keep driving the car with sticky dashboard? Is there any way to get recall details of why the dashboard is sticky? Toyota don't want to answere any of these questions.The only thing they told me that "It was not a safety recall, it was a part of customer support program". How they decide that it was not a safety issue? Have they done any investigation and proof that it is not a safety issue? If they did then why can't they give that information to customer? So I will please request NHTSA to investigate this sticky dashboard issue to make sure there is no health safety issue. Otherwise I will be putting my and my family health on risk. If there is any health issue due to any chemical in dashboard which cause it to be sticky then this recall should have been mandotary which usually don't have any expiry. I will appreciate your cooperation and any information regarding the recall regarding this sticky dashboard and how it effect on somebody health. thanks

Over a period of time lately the dashboard has become shiny and sticky. The glare off of the shiny area from the sun blocks the drivers vision

Upon backing up out of a parking space, the car was put in drive and accelerated excessively. It accelerated and didnt allow actions to control the vehicle. The airbags were deployed so we assumed it accelerated to at least 35 mph. The vehicle slammed into a brick wall. The driver was injured upon impact suffering seven fractured ribs, a broken sternum and severe lacerations and bruising from the knees down. The vehicle has been inspected by the material damage adjuster of the insurance company. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer to date. There were on warnings prior to the accident.

-The dashboard has become very sticky and shiny and started to chip off. I noticed this after having my tire repaired the worker placed a number tag on top of dashboard and half of it was still stuck to it. When I pulled it off a couple of chunks of the dashboard came off with it. -I had noticed the dashboard was super shiny and reflected pretty bad on my windshield making it hard to see clearly while driving. I am also started noticing a weird smell when I get in my car. Like a vinegar smell. So I am also concern about inhaling any bad fumes that the melting dashboard may be emitting. -I called Toyota in Redlands about the dashboard they said Camry’s 2011 models had had issues with the dashboard and that there had been a customer support program that were fixing the dashboard and had been extended twice but I missed the last extension by a month. I had never received a notice that there was an issue with the dashboards. Supposedly Toyota sent the extended warranty in 2018. - I did inform the Toyota in Claremont after my tire service that the dashboard had been damaged after someone placed a number tag on it and they sent over a person who fixes dashboard and he was the one who also notified me that the dashboards were having an issue with the stickiness. That they had some type of recall. He ended up coming by to fix the areas that were pulled off from the paper number tag and was able to cover up the shine on the drivers side. There are still some areas that need to be filled in but he noticed that after he was done covering it up. He said I could call him if it bugs me to work on it again. The areas he filled in are noticeable.How long will the coverage even last? - I’ve been getting service done at the same location for about 10 years now and no one has ever brought to my attention that there was a recall on the dashboards or any issues with it. So I feel that Toyota was hiding this issue from consumers until we noticed something about it ourselves.

Riverfront Boulevard, LB 19, Dallas, TX 75207 John Creuzot Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Consumer complaints P.O. Box 259001 Plano tx 75025 Dear Mr. Creuzot, CEO Toyota, Mr. Clark, and Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, There is an issue where my safety is at risk. I learned about the recall for Toyota’s sticky dashboard while I was away as a student, and I was not able to bring in my car at the time I was notified. The condition of the car is dangerous, driving at night, there is a bright glare, in addition there are fumes and there is a smell that comes from the melting dashboard creating is a health and safety issue. I am asking please that my car be recalled as I was not informed nor notified until the very end of the recall. The dealership is negligent in its response to correct this recalling. I am putting them on notice as this egregious lack of response against public policy. Please correct my vehicle so it is safe and healthy to drive. Thank you

I have a defective 'shiny' dashboard on my 2011 Toyota Camry. Apparently a recall was issued by Toyota but this was not an active campaign. The dash is so shiny that on bright days the reflection of the sun onto the front windshield is concerning. A friend recently told me about the recall but when I took the car to my local Toyota dealer I was told the recall campaign for my vehicle expired earlier in 2021. So, I want to lodge a complaint on the basis that while my Toyota dealer routinely sends me mail asking to buy back my 2011 Camry they never once told me about the recall. Clearly the dealer knows my address and many details about the vehicle I purchased from them but still they avoided telling me about my participation in the shiny dash recall.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the sunroof while driving at various speeds. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil requiring the contact to add a quart of oil every 3,000 miles. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the exhaust and the brakes needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the torque converter needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer for the third time where it was diagnosed with needing a tune up and an oil change. The vehicle was repaired and the failure persisted. The contact wanted a second opinion so she took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the engine needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 149,255.

I got my 150,000 tune, which included a computer refresh and alignment as well...well I asked for a replacement battery for my key fog and they gave a me a hard time about the battery...I just the need the battery changed on it and they said they would take care of it free of charge...when I got there they tried charging me $165 to change the battery in my key fog...which uses a round standard battery...and then they threaten me to take out the battery and then put the old one back in if I didn't comply. I ask to speak to the manager and he went ahead and did it for me like he originally had said....my dashboard after the computer refresh and key battery change my dashboard lights up with errors messages. And the car glitches and starts and shuts off when it wants to...and my alinement I got just before closing time and they reassuried me that it was good to go...and when I started driving it off the lot...it have another tire alignment on the opposite side of the car now....I've called them multiple times over and over and I've never heard anything back from them....

My Vin # does not seem to have any recalls about the sticky melting dashboard but my dash is completely sticky and getting worse day by day I have reached out to the local dealership on many different occasions but never get anywhere due to my vin # not having any open recalls what do I need to do?

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SHINY AND EXTREMELY STICKY. ON SUNNY DAYS OR AT KNIGHT LIGHT CAN REFLECT OFF THE DASHBOARD INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CAUSES AN INTENSE GLARE MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE FORWARD. THIS EFFECT CAN BE SEEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION IN CITIES OR ON THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA ISSUED AN ENHANCED WARRANTY HOWEVER MANY OLDER CARS ARE NO LONGER COVERED AND THE ISSUES STILL PERSIST. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM A THIRD PARTY AND WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THE ENHANCED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE. WHEN I LEARNED THAT THIS WARRANTY EXISTED IT WAS TOO LATE AND MAR CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN INDEPENDENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TO MANUALLY HOLD UP THE SUN VISOR WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED HIS VISION TO BE OBSTRUCTED WHILE DRIVING. MODESTO TOYOTA (4513 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356, (209) 529-2933) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT DECLINED TO DO SO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,100.

THE CAR IT'S HARD TO TURN NOW, IT MAKE NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE, LIKING GREASE-OIL ON THE BALL JOINTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL , BUT MY CAR IS 2-11.. A MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL ( THAT STARTS IN 3 -11).. SO I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DIDN'T WANTED TO HELP ME WITH THAT. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LIKE $800. WHAT CAN I DO??

MY CAMRY IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL AND IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE NUMBER INCLUDED IN ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND, OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. THE FIRST CHECK UP OIL WAS ADDED BY THE TECHNICIAN (II WAS NOT TOLD HOW MUCH) AND I WAS ASKED TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO ADD OIL IF NEEDED. WHEN I RETURNED FOR THIS CHECK, UP, I LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN THE CHECK UPS. WHEN THE CSR RETURNED HE SAID WE WERE ALL SET. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED WAS "WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ". I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT! THEY SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE. I CAN HEAR THE TAPPING NOISES FROM THE PISTONS IN MY ENGINE ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OIL. MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND STARTS ACTING SLUGGISH ETC...THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE! I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. I HOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. OIL CHANGED ON TIME ALONG WITH ALL SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS ON THIS TOYOTA' ENGINE. BY 2011 THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I SEE THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN. IF ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR'S VALUE IS LOWER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP ADDING 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (@ $13 00 A QUART) AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL OWN AND MOMENTARILY OBSTRUCTED HIS VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER NOR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR, WHILE POSITIONED IN TRHE RETAINING CLIP, CONTINUES TO ROTATE DOWNWARD, HAMPERING THE DRIVERS VIEW. CONDITION IS WORSENING WITH TIME.

MY YEAR OF TOYOTA AND MAKE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT AND MY BALL JOINT IS ABOUT READY TO SNAP BECAUSE IT IS A FAULTY FACTORY BALL JOINT. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS AND I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANY OF US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!!

VERY LOUD RATTLE WHEN FIRST STARTED ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD. EVEN WHEN IT IS IDLING AFTER RUNNING FOR A WHILE IT STILL HAS A SLIGHT RATTLE JUST A LOT QUIETER.

FRONT RIGHT AXLE BOOT LEAKS GREASE TO THE CONTROL ARM SUSPENSION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE UN STABLE/VIBRATION PUTS ME IN FEAR. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I AM VERY SCARED. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH, WHEN A TRUCK INTERSECTED THE MIDDLE LANE. THE DRIVER STATED HE WAS TRYING TO PREVENT GETTING HIT BY THE TRUCK AND BEGAN TO SWERVE BUT CRASHED INTO THE REAR SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE DRIVER STATED HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND SPUN TWO TIMES BEFORE CRASHING INTO A HIGHWAY RAIL. THE DRIVER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED ON THE FRONT, PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURED BY HITTING HIS HEAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND ALSO SUFFERED BACK PAINS AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE ER AND URGENT CARE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

I NOTICED THE WINDOWS GETTING HAZY WITH A DIFFICULT TO REMOVE "FILM" AND NEVER KNEW WHY UNTIL I DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD IS BECOMING STICKY AND SHINY. I SUSPECT THE HAZY FILM IS COMING FROM THE DISINTEGRATING DASH BOARD. IT IS ALSO BECOMING SHINY AND THIS IS REFLECTING IN THE WINDSHIELD. SEEMS LIKE A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CAMRY.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO FALL, AND IT HAS BECOME A OBSTRUCTION WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WILL NOT STAY UP

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR DROOPED DOWN AND COULD NO LONGER SUPPORT ITSELF. THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW. I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE SUN VISOR UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED.

MY DASHBOARD IS BECOMING A GOOEY MESS. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE EATING AWAY THE PLASTIC AND IF YOU TOUCH IT YOU'LL STICK TO IT LEAVING BEHIND AN INDENTION FOR LIFE. THE STICKY FILM HAS CAUSED A GLARE, FROM THE SUN, ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING ME TO HIT A CONCRETE BARRICADE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE VISIBLE. I HAD A CRASH WITH THIS CONCRETE AND IT TORE OFF PART OF THE FENDER AND HEADLIGHT. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BUT NOT THE FENDER. PLEASE FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD SO I CAN DRIVE MY GRANDDAUGHTER AROUND SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD WAS VERY STICKY AND THE SUN GLARE REFLECTED OFF THE DASHBOARD UNTO THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING BLURRY VISION AND THE INABILITY TO SEE THE ROADWAY CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,035.

THE DASH IS STICKY AND MELTING.

MAJORITY OF DASH HAS A THICK, STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD VERY DIFFICULT.

PASSENGER SIDE SHADE VISOR SAGGED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2011 CAMRY SE, SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 2007 CAMRY SE AND A RECALL FIXED THAT. WHY IS THIS 2011 CAMRY TO BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA AS WAS THE 2007? ALSO, THE SUN ROOF HAS BEEN NOISY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AUG 31, 2010. WHY IS THAT NOT RECALLED.? AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES? *TR

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND BECOME STICKY. IT CAUSES A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN SUNNY CONDITIONS.

ON MARCH 18, 2020 I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A STEEP GRADE DURING A WINTER STORM AND WAS PART OF AN ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED HITTING THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT AND SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF DAMAGE. LUCKILY I RECEIVED NO INJURIES BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND THEY DID NOT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD IN A LOT IN CASE IT NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED. TOYOTA HAS STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS THE EDR.

WELL OUT OF NO WHERE MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT CUT OFF. I WAS TOLD IT S A AIRBAG RECALL

MY ENGINE STALLS AT DIFFERENT POINTS WHETHER I'M ACCELERATING AND SPECIALLY WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE JULY 2018 AND IT HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE HAD IT.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.

VERY BAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. TRANSMISSION IN LOWER GEARS HAVE MAJOR ISSUES. SHIFTS VERY HARD AND LATE.

I WAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICE OF THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING UP 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS. INSTEAD, OUR SUN VISOR LOST RESISTANCE IN 9/2019 AND STARTED OBSTRUCTING OUR VISIBILITY AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP, BUT HANG ~2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND PRINTED OUT THE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT TOYOTA NEVER INFORMED US OF THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE VISOR CLIPS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME -WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO MANY. WE ARE BEING TOLD TO REPLACE AND REPAIR IT OURSELVES FOR $195 THOUGH THEY AGREED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS THE CLIPS ARE DEFECTIVE. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CORDIAL BUT SAID IT WAS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND A TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS DECISION. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-5 HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2011/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SUN_VISOR_WILL_NOT_STAY_UP.SHTML I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS IN THE WRONG AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX ALL FAULTY CLIPS ESPECIALLY WHEN BLOCKING YOUR VISIBILITY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OTHER DRIVERS IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING. I COULD NOT SEE SAFETY SIGNS WHEN TURNING, ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO RIP OFF THE LEFT SIDE SUN VISOR OUT OF CONCERN AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR.

ON TWO OCCASIONS (AUGUST 2019 AND OCTOBER 27, 2019) WHEN PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY I EXPERIENCED UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION BY THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR RAMMED INTO A POST ON MY HOUSE AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FRACTURING MY STERNUM IN THREE PLACES.

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DISTORTION OF VISIBILITY THROUGH THE REAR WINDSHIELD DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT, MOVING AND STOPPED.THE BIGGEST ISSUE AT NIGHT IS THAT ONE VEHICLE APPEARS MULTIPLIED WITH MULTIPLE SETS OF HEADLIGHTS, MOSTLY UP AND DOWN WITH THE DEFOGGING LINES BUT ALSO IN A WAVY PATTERN BETWEEN DEFOGGER LINES. DURING THE DAYTIME, IT OBSCURES THE EDGES OF VEHICLES WITH THE WAVY PATTERN AND HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT ISSUE AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING IF IT'S RAINING. THERE IS NO AFTER-MARKET TINT APPLIED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES CHANGING LANES AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME SINCE THE DISTORTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE DISTANCE AND WHICH LANE THEY MAY BE IN.

I RECENTLY HAD A FLAT TIRE AFTER HITTING SOMETHING LAYING ON A BRIDGE AND WENT TO PLACE MY SPARE TIRE ON MY VEHICLE, AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND THEY COULD ALSO NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AND SAID THEY WERE SWOLLEN VERY BAD AND NONE OF THEIR TOOLS FIT. OVERALL THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE SWOLLEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER SAFETY CAUSING DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON FLAT TIRES UNTIL REACHING A PLACE THEY CAN PUT AIR INTO THEIR TIRES. ALSO, THE FACT THAT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS CAN NOT TAKE OFF THE LUG NUTS EITHER MEANS COSTLY REPAIRS FOR THE DRIVER.

WHEN I WASH MY CAR, THE WHITE PAINT COMES OFF. I ALSO HAVE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE STARTED TO FORM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

THE DASHBOARD SO STICKY AND MELTING

I AM WRITING ABOUT MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011.I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME. I AM PRESENTLY DRIVING BUT YES IF IT FAILS AGAIN IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND IT FAILS AGAIN. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE. ALSO SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED IS I WOULD SUGGEST EVERY SEAT BELT IN ANY VEHICLE BE A FLUORESCENT ORANGE SO IT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE NOT WEARING YOUR SEAT BELT. THIS WOULD HELP THE POLICE AND ANYONE ELSE IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHERWISE. I AM JUST MAKING THE SUGGESTION HOPING SOMEONE WILL CHANGE THIS.

I HAD NOTICED THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BECAME VERY STICKY AND SHINY IN THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2019. THE SUNLIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELDS MOST LIKELY CREATED THIS CONDITION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OR TO REMOVE THE VERY SHINY/STICKY EFFECT. SUBSEQUENTLY IT CAUSES A REFLECTIVE GLARE FROM THE SHINY SURFACE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, POSSIBLY CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD. I CONSULTED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED ME A PRICE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH AS THEY DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEM...SPEFICALLY STATING THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANY EVER SUCCESSFULLY CORRECTED BY REPAIR. CONSIDERING HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, AND REPORTS ONLINE OF MANY OTHER SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY OWNERS OF TOYOTAS OF SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

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

INITIALLY THE SUN VISOR WILL FELL AND BLOCK SOME DRIVER SIDE VIEW. AFTER A YEAR OR 2 LATER, IT COMPLETELY FELL AND WILL BLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE VIEW. THIS IS A HAZARD CONDITION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, TOYOTA ISSUED WARRANTY BULLETIN(POL12-03) TO REPLACE CERTAIN VIN RANGE OF THE CAMRY 07~11, MINE IS THE 2011, HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE THE VIN IN THAT DOCUMENT. I'VE BOUGHT 3 NEW CAMRY IN THE PAST, ONLY THIS ONE HAS THE PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE TOYOTA.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN USING EXCESSIVE OIL LAST 2 YEARS IT HAS 78000 MILES I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ENGINES I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR CERTAIN YEARS BUT MINE WAS NOT. I EXPLAINED THAT MY 2.5L (2AR FE) ENGINE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE THAT WERE FLAGGED FOR REPAIRS TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEFECTIVE PISTON PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED I AM ASKING FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS ISSUE THANK YOU

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE'S RPM REV, HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ONCE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WITH THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT A HIGH SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS ON AN INCLINE, 1.0 GRADE WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. ON FLAT SURFACES, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TO INDICATE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE HESITATION HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH TO GAIN SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLES RPM WAS BETWEEN 5-6 AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE HOWEVER IT DID MOVE FORWARD AND ALLOWED ME TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO INVOICE. WE HAVE A VERBAL ESTIMATION OF $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CENTER CITY AUTOMOTIVE IN DAVIS, CA.

TAKATA RECALL TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AT A SHOP AND THE LIGHT WAS ON CODE DESCRIBED A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS I CONTACTED TOYOTA BY PHONE AND EMAIL FOR HELP. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND IF IT IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND NOT YET DISCOVERED THEY SHOULD E RESPONSIBLE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR .

AS I AM CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT I DECIDED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE REPORT AN I SEE RECALLS THAT I NEVER NEW ANYTHING ABOUT, TWO RECALLS. I RECALL RECENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH SAID RECALL, CONTROL ARMS, ONE OF SAID RECALL IN QUESTION, NOW I HADN'T PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LONG AFTER THE RECALL, AS I STATED DID NOT GET A LETTER NOR DID THE DEALERSHIP SAY ANYTHING, AS I HAVE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES WITH THE RECALL TIME FRAME, MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE STREET WHILE PARKED IN 2017, BUT I WAS TOLD THE CONTROLS ARMS PROBLEM WAS NOT A RESULT OF THAT, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERS AN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T SEE T FIND ANYTHING, AN EVENTUALLY ONE DEALER FIX IT, UNDER MY WARRANTY. BUT IT SEEM TO STILL BE A PROBLEM WITH THE UPPER LOWER CONTROL BECAUSE THE CAR IS IS SWAYING FROM TIME TO TIME ESPECIALLY WITH THIS POWERFUL WINDS, TODAY MY CAR SWAYED INTO THE OTHER LANE AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY I HAD TO GET OFF IMMEDIATELY.

MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR BEHAVED ODDLY WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DONE. INSTEAD MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED FASTER RESULTING IN MY VEHICLE BECOMING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. IT ALSO HAS ME VERY CONCERNED THAT MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF MY ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SPEED AT WHICH MY VEHICLE REACHED.

CV BOOT IS LEAKING GREASE WITHOUT FINDING DAMAGE UPON PHYSICAL INSPECTION. TWO MECHANICS HAVE REPORTED THIS TO ME WHILE WORKING ON UNRELATED MAINTENANCE ISSUES.

I BELIEVE MY CAR IS ONE OF THE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED IN TOYOTA RECALL I'D: 227548. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY CAR, THAT'S LISTED IN THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TIGHTLY I HERE A GRINDING SOUND, I TOOK MY CAR TO BE SUSPECTED AND WAS GIVE THE DIAGNOSIS OF MY SUSPENSION AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE BALL JOINT

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. POSSIBLE AFFECTED BY TAKATA RECALL.

CAR SHUDDERS AT 35 TO 40 MPH. IF I SPEED UP NO PROBLEM. I HEARD IT COULD BE TORQUE CONVERTER. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I TOLD DEALER AND THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING. I ALSO TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. THEY TOLD ME IS WEAR AN TEAR. CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION JUST THOSE ISSUES. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER MY CAR WAS ALSO IN ACCIDENT BUT DEALER FIXED IT AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. DORSCHEL GROUP ROCHESTER NY. IS VERY UPSETTING THAT A CAR I PAID OVER 25000$ IS DOING THIS AND NO RECALLS

OIL CONSUMPTION. DRIVE CAR A LOT OF SHAKING VIBRATION. TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. WHEN LOAD IS PUT. TRANSMISSION RPM AROUNDV40MPH TO 45MPH WEIRD VIBRATION AND HESITATION. THIS CAR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NOT GOOD

A WHILE BACK I WAS PULLING IN MY YARD AND MY VISOR FLIPPED DOWN CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND BLIND MY VIEW THEN WHEN I PANICKED I ACCEDENTLY HIT THE GAS AND DROVE INTO MY MOBILE HOME CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY HOME AND ABOUT 2000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR I WROTE TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR DAMAGE

DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD STAY IN PLACE

I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING A PREVIOUS NHTSA CASE INVOLVING THE VEHICLE LINE JUST PRIOR TO MINE (2010). FOR THAT LINE, TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER MY VEHICLE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I AM ATTACHING MY LETTER TO TOYOTA. MY INQUIRY TO THEM IS [XXX] AND CASE# [XXX] (WITH HQ). THE ATTACHED LETTER DOCUMENTS MY CASE. I THOUGHT THE DEALER'S BRAKE WORK HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT'S JUST A FAULTY MODULE IN THE VEHICLE. NOW, IT IS DISABLED, RENDERING MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THE COST AMOUNTS TO ALMOST THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER-MAINTAINED, IT'S IMMACULATE AND I HAD NOT INTENDED TO TRADE IT IN. I HAD ACTUALLY CONSIDERED PURCHASING A NEW CAMRY UNTIL THIS SITUATION CAME UP. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN TOYOTA FOR THEIR REFUSAL TO ASSIST. I HOPE THAT BY NOTIFYING NHTSA AND MAKING OTHERS AWARE, THIS WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT AND ADDRESSED. SINCE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT UNTIL YOU ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM, THERE ARE NO TELLING HOW MANY OTHERS ARE DRIVING VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED, INCLUDING MY 25-YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES A 2011 LE MODEL (VIN [XXX]). I DO PRAY THAT OUR MODEL YEAR CAN BE ADDED TO THE INCIDENT FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIRBAG SYMBOL WAS LIT SHOWING ON MY DASH. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY TOLD THAT A SPRING HAD BROKEN, AND THAT MY AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPOY IN AN ACCIDENT. COST TO REPLACE SPRING WAS OVER $500.00. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. MY WIFE AND I ARE LIVING ON A FIX-INCOME, AND 500.00 IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I JUST SAW A RECALL ON A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER, WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH FAULTY AIRBAG. PART NEEDED IS A SPRIAL 84306-06150 CLOCK SPRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VIBRATED. ALSO, WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, IT FELT AS IF IT WOULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 35 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, THE CONTACT WAS TURNING AROUND A CURVE ON THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE OFFICER WAS PRESENT, BUT A REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

MUCHOS PROBLEMAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 25 MPH. ALSO, THE BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WOBURN TOYOTA (394 WASHINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF CAR FAULTY ACCELERATING.*JB

THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FOLLOWING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT. I EXITED MY COMMUNITY, BY MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY, AND THE ROAD WAS DAMP DUR TO RECENT RAIN. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON A COUNTY ROAD (A TOTAL OF 2 LANES), UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION TO ENSURE I STAYED IN MY LANE. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE RIGHT SIDE WITHIN MY LANE AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE/DRIFT. AS THE CAR CONTINUED SLIDING THE RIGHT, IT WENT OUTSIDE MY LANE, HIT THE DIRT "SHOULDER", AND HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SWING TO THE LEFT. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE ROCKS, I FELT MY BODY LIFTED FROM MY SIT, BUT THE SEAT BELT HELD IT BACK. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT IN THE EVENT. THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARDS A SMALL RAVINE LOCATED BEHIND THREE TREES. I STEERED THE CAR TO HIT THE TREE INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO A SMALL RAVINE.

I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE.

ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASH INTO A TREE. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH (BY ROUGHLY 1 MPH). I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE. THE ALABAMA STATE TROOPER WHO CAME AND TRIED TO ASSIST ME WAS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND APPEARED TO HAVE A UNCOOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH TOOK OVER ME, CAUSING ME TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND MAKE MY WALLET FALL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT FELL INTO A PILE OF LEAVES, WHICH WERE THE SAME COLOR OF THE WALLET (LIGHT LEATHER BROWN). LONG STORY SHORT, THE OFFICER GAVE ME A CITATION FOR NOT HAVING MY LICENSE WITH ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT I DID AND HE REFUSED TO TAKE AWAY THE CITATION. THE OFFICER ALSO SAID THAT HE WOULD WRITE ME UP FOR RECKLESS DRIVING, WHICH I WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULD DO THAT, IF THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED UP IN MY CAR.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLING DOWN NOT STAYING UP. THE BASE PART OF THE SUM VISOR BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE SUN VISOR MAKING IT HARD TO OUT THE SUN VISOR BACK UP BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED WHEN I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SUN VISOR FALL HALF WAY DOWN. AFTER A LONG DRIVE OUT OF STATE, ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUN VISOR DROPED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP

SEAT CLOTH BROKE DRIVER..VENT VISOR DRIVER BROKE AND TOOK IT OFF AND THREW IT AWAY.. TURN A.C. AND KNOCKING NOISE. CLUNKING NOISE ON SUSPENSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR DEALER NEVER DID ANYTHING. NOW IN MAY THIS YEAR I EXPERIENCE VIBRATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AROUND 40MPH. CRAZY ANNOYING ISSUE. PAID TO MUCH MONEY. CAR LOOKS NEW BUT A LOT OF ISSUES. I DON'T EVEN THINK AIRBAGS WORK. ACCIDENT AND DIDN'T COME OUT. CRAZY UNSAFE CAR WITH TO MANY MAJOR ISSUES.

MY 2011 CAMRY HAS 55K MILES AND HAVING HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. SPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO STOP THERE A LAG IN RPM AND TRANSMISSION MOVES THEREFORE, CAR FEELS LIKE A PUNCH IN TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN EMERGENCY STOPS BECAUSE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LET YOU FEEL CHANGING GEARS. I HOPE NHTSA WILL RAISE OUR VOICE TO TOYOTA. THANK YOU

I NOTICED A 3 INCH BURN MARK ON MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD BEEN VANDALIZED. HOWEVER, TODAY WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR I NOTICED ANOTHER BURN AREA NEXT TO THE OTHER ONE AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING IN THE CAR. I CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT WHICH IS SHORTING OUT AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS WAS OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF.

BALL JOINT HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE 2015. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY YEAR AND MAKE ALREADY BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED

I HAVE HAD COMPLICATIONS NOT ONLY WITH VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE BUT ALSO THE THEIR IS A CLUNKING WEIRD NOISE FROM THE SUSPENSION. IF TURN ON HEAT OR TOUCH RADIO THE LIGHTS ON DASH FLASH. I ALSO WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THEIR IS NO POWER.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR MAKING CLICKING SOUNDS NOW HAS TOTALLY BROKEN OFF, MAKING DRIVING DANGEROUS. MY WINDOW RUBBER SILLS ARE MELTING MAKING WINDOWS STILL JUST LIKE THE DASHBOARD MELTING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER, TO STOP THE VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION ARAPAHOE (10531 E ARAPAHOE RD, CENTENNIAL, CO 80112, 303-578-6111) WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAD FAILED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT DO NOT COVER THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

SUN VISORS SEEM TO HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH CORRECT PARTS WENT ON LINE AND GOOGLE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF THIS YEAR HAS SAME PROBLEMS SO THEY WHERE HANGING AND IT MAKES HARD TO SEE THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF EITHER WAY IT'S UN SAFE YO DRIVE LIKE THIS I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS

THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS STOPPED HOLDING IT'S PLACE. I SAW AND READ ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAS 2007 TO 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS, AN ABNORMALLY QUICK/CONSTANT LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE, AND A DISASTROUS BLOWOUT THAT CAUSED ME TO MISS MY FATHERS DEATH BY 1.5 HOURS. I PURCHASED 4 ARIZONIAN SILVER EDITION PLUS TIRES ON MAY 22ND FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. IT DIDNT TAKE LONG FOR THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. ON JULY 2, ONE OF MY TIRES WENT FLAT. ON JULY 5, DISCOUNT TIRE REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE AS WELL AS A SECOND TIRE. ON SEPTEMBER 6, I NOTICED A TIRE WAS LOW AGAIN. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT MY AIR VALVE WAS LOOSE, BUT THAT THEY HAD INFLATED THE TIRE TO ITS PROPER PRESSURE LEVEL AND INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AS WELL. ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2018, I WAS DRIVING TO THE DENVER AIRPORT AFTER FINDING OUT THAT MY DAD WAS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN AUSTIN, TX. AT 12:00 PM MT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE E-470 TOLL ABOUT TO EXIT FOR DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (EXIT 28), MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I WAS NOT SPEEDING NOR DRIVING ERRATICALLY. I WAS 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT. I MISSED MY FLIGHT. I HAD TO WAIT AN ADDITIONAL 6 HOURS TO GET ON THE NEXT FLIGHT. I ARRIVED IN AUSTIN AT 10:45 PM CST. UPON LANDING, I DISCOVERED THAT MY DAD PASSED AWAY 1.5 HOURS EARLIER. I WAS DEPRIVED OF THE CHANCE TO SEE MY FATHER ONE LAST TIME BY A MATTER OF 10 MINUTES, WHICH WAS HOW FAR I WAS FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN MY TIRE BLEW OUT. ITS NOT A HYPERBOLE TO SAY THAT THIS SITUATION WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. BUT FOR THE BLOW OUT, I WOULDVE BEEN ON TIME FOR THE 1:55 PM FLIGHT AND WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO SEE MY DAD BEFORE HIS DEATH. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 FOR A TIRE REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD BY THE EMPLOYEES THAT UPON EXAMINING THE BLOWN-OUT TIRE, THERE WAS NO INDICATIVE REASON AS TO WHY THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THESE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE, CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC LIFE EVENT FOR ME.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 5:45 A.M., NO CARS IN SIGHT, I HEAR A LOUD NOISE SUCH AS THAT YOU WOULD HEAR FROM A GUNSHOT. STARTLED, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT CAUSE. IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. LUCKILY FOR ME, THE COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS HAD FALLEN INSIDE THE CABIN. WITH NO CARS IN SIGHT, I QUICKLY DISMISSED THE IDEA THAT IT WAS A ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS. IT JUST RANDOMLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 46F AND THE DIGITAL CLIMATE CONTROL WAS SET TO 72F. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AS THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD.

BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SUN VISORS FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. THEY EVENTUALLY ROTTED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SUN BEAMS INTO MY EYES AS I AM DRIVING AND THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS.

HI THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE ARM REST WHICH IS CRACKED BECAUSE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND IT FLEXING I THINK ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHILE YOU DRIVING FOR LONG HOURS AND YOU NEED TO REST YOUR ARM ITS NOT RELAYABLE YOUR ARM DIPS IN THE HOLE INSTEAD OF COMFORT I HOPE IT EXPLAINS RITE

THE SUN VISOR DETACHED ON BOTH SIDES. STARTED MAKING A POP NOISE THEN NEVER WENT BACK UP AFTER I TRIED BLOCKING THE SUN IN MY FACE WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL SUN VISORS FALLING DOWN.

THE SUN ROOF ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 OPENS BY ITSELF, WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT WON'T CLOSE UNTIL I STOP DRIVING.

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT STAY UP ANY LONGER.

KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DROPS DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VISION MAKING IT A HAZARD WHEN I DRIVE AS MY VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR WHEN I GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR. TOYOTA SHOULD DECLARE A RECALL AND FIX THESE DEFECTIVE VISORS

ON FRIDAY JULY 13TH I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PRIVATE LOT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE MY CAR SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED, FOR A SECOND OR TWO HITTING A VAN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND ALSO THE SUV TO THE LEFT OF THE VAN DAMAGING THE RIGHT BACK BUMPER. THE VAN WAS HIT SO HARD, IT WAS PUSHED ABOUT 20 FEET HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ROLLED BACK HITTING MY CAR. THE VAN WAS IN PARK, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, AND NOT SURE WHAT OTHER DAMAGE IT HAD. TOYOTA WAS CALLED AND THEY SENT A REPRESENTATIVE OUT TO EXAM THE CAR AND DO SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THAT WAS ON JULY 25TH..IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MONTH TO GET THOSE RESULTS . I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE THIS HAPPENED. AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A SIDE STREET WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARDER TO TURN AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT HAD BROKEN OFF CAUSING THE ENTIRE TIRE AND TIE ROD TO DETACH FROM THE CAR. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION ENTIRE CAR TO SHIFT RESULTING IN MISALIGNMENT.

EVERYTIME THE WEATHER GET COLD MY CAR MAKE A WHINING NOISE THAT NOW OF THE TOYOTA DEALERS CAN FIGURE OUT. I BELIEVE THERE A STEERING ISSUE WITH TOYOTA.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 15TH STREET HEADED TO MCALISTER'S ON JULY 9, 2018. IT WAS RAINING REALLY HARD. I WAS IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO CENTRAL AND MONISH PARK. WHEN I CAME UP ON CHECKERS THE WATER WAS EXTREMELY HIGH AND PROCEEDED TO COVER THE FRONT PART OF MY HOOD. I DROVE THROUGH IT AND REACHED MY DESTINATION. I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT MY AIR WAS NOT BLOWING OUT COLD, BUT WARM AIR. MY HORN SOUNDED REALLY FUNNY WHEN IT WAS BLOWN. I FIGURED WATER MUST HAVE AFFECTED IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEN. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED OUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT BOTH COOLING FANS HAD DETACHED AWAY FROM THE MOTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT, FLIPPED OVER, AND LANDED IN A DITCH. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISING THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT DURING THE FAILURE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FRACTURED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UPSIDE DOWN. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FORCE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT FORCEFULLY EXITED THE VEHICLE AS A FIRE ERUPTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO A TOW YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V732000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THEY SENT AN INVESTIGATOR, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF THE INVESTIGATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT MAKES POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING

NUMBER 1 ISSUE. I HAVE TAKATA PSAN AIRBAG INFLATORS, THAT CAN RUPTURE CREATING A PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. NUMBER 2 ISSUE. I HAVE FRONT WHEEL TIRES THAT SEEMS TO WEAR OFF WITHIN A YEAR. MY 4 WHEELS WERE REPLACED IN 2015. I NEED THE 3RD SET TODAY. NUMBER 3 ISSUE. MY DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN IN PLACE. THE CONTACT CALLED WOBURN TOYOTA AT 781-933-1100 (LOCATED AT 394 WASHINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA 01801) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW, THE SUPPORT ARM FAILED.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE SUN VISOR JUST DROPPED DOWN, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC LIGHT

PAINT TOO WEAK, START TO CORROSION ON HOOD ,TOP. PARKING OUTSIDE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED TO SAG TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. RECENTLY IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE DRIVER'S FACE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE STOWED POSITION. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH IT THAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK FOR A REPLACEMENT. I CALLED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR'S VIN# FALLS OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS OF THE PROGRAM. THE COVERED PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY EXISTS ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE VISOR DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V732000 (SUSPENSION) AT LOWE'S TOYOTA (375 HOUSTON LAKE RD, WARNER ROBINS, GA 31088), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUED TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAMRY. IT HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES IT JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP IT SHIFTS HARD. I NOTICED WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP THE RPM GOES UP LITTLE BIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. BROWN'S TOYOTA OF GLEN BURNIE (7167 RITCHIE HIGHWAY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061) DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE COVER FRACTURED AND DAMAGED THE VVT GEARS AND THE TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, BUT WAS DRIVABLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURES WERE SUSTAINED. THE CONTACT CALLED DARCARS TOYOTA SILVER SPRING AT 301-622-0300 (LOCATED AT 12210 CHERRY HILL RD, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED REPAIRS ON THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM.

SUN VISORS IN NUMEROUS TOYOTA MODELS HAVE A DEFECT RECOGNIZED BY TOYOTA, HOWEVER ONLY CERTAIN MODELS ARE BEING COVERED UNDER THE "LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY". THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT MADE CLEAR OR PUBLIC TO THE CAR OWNERS, INSTEAD ONLY TURNING UP IN GOOGLE SEARCHES OF WHY THEIR SUN VISOR WAS FAILING. TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DEFECT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL IN THE EXTREMELY LIMITED NUMBER OF VIN'S PROPOSED. THE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING INTO THE DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT AND WILL NOT STAY UP, CAUSING LIMITED VISION AND DISTRACTED DRIVING. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSEHOLD AS WE ALL DRIVE TOYOTAS, TWO OF WHICH ARE CAMRY'S. I HAVE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH MY HAND WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS TO SEE STREET LIGHTS, AND MY FIELD OF SIGHT IS GREATLY DIMINISHED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IS STOPPED UNTIL I AM VERY CLOSE TO IT. DRIVING WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR UP IS ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL WITH JUST ONE HAND IN A DEFENSIVE SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET TOYOTA STILL REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY "APOLOGIZING" AND CHOOSING TO COVER JUST ENOUGH CARS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS SITUATION IS LIKELY TO END IN A FATALITY DUE TO TOYOTA'S CARELESSNESS ON THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE VEHICLE COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES TO THE MOUTH, NECK, BACK, AND HEAD THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2011 CAMRY'S, BUT TOYOTA SAY'S MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE CAR WASH.

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.

THE DASH BOARD OF THE CAR SEEMS TO BE MELTING AS IT IS GETTING STCKY AS THE DAYS PASSES BY AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AS YOU CANNOT POT YOUR HAND ON IT AND IF YOU TRY CLEANING THE MELTING PLASTIC COMES OUT SCRATCHING WITH CLOTH/FINGERS. IT IS DRIVING HAZARD AS IN SUM THERE IS TOO MUCH GLARE COMING FROM SASH BOARD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE.AS IT CANNOT BE CLEANED THE DUST AND OTHER PARTICLES ARE GETTING ACCUMULATED ON THE DASH.IT IS GETTING WORSE AS DAYS ARE PASSING

DASHBOARD MELTING I BEEN COMPLAINING TO TOYOTA FOR A FEW YEARS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SMELL OF MELTING DASHBOARD AND HAZY WINDSHIELD. THE IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME

LAST JUNE (2017) I WAS DRIVING AND NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS HITTING THE SIDE WALK AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM W/BALL JOINT - LOWER FRONT SUSPENSION AND ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW TIRE. SAW ON A WEBSITE THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V732000. I

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DISCONNECTED AND LODGED IN ANGLED, PARTIALLY DOWN POSITION WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO FULLY DISCONNECT VISOR AS IT WAS FULLY STUCK OTHERWISE. REVIEWING TONIGHT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS ERA CAMRY.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR RELEASED WILL DRIVING ON FREEWAY. WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY REMOVE VISOR FROM ROD TO SEE. THE NEXT WEEK, PASSENGER SIDE VISOR RELEASED AND WOULD NOT HOLD POSITION.

NEVER DIID THEY FIX THE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A COMPOST BIN, A FENCE, AND A SNOW MOUND, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

EXHAUST BACKS UP INTO CAB OF CAR WHEN DRIVING ENTER CITY OR HIGHWAY, AND A VERY FAINT IN NOISE IN HEATING AND/OR AIR CONDITION UNITE. NOTICED ALL WHEN PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY, BUT THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC OBD-II CODE WAS P2128. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS OPEN CIRCUIT 552011. THE COST WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW TO REPORT IT. ALSO, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND WAS STICKY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION TOYOTA SCION, WINTER PARK, FL, 407-678-1234) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND IT FALLS DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL IN THE MAIL AND CALLED AND WAS TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT ONE THAT IS ON THE LIST.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WOULD NOT STAY UP THEN AFTER DOING THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS , SUN VISOR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND BROKE OFF. SADLY AFTER CALLING DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHERE OR HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT I'M SURE THAT'S WHY YOU DO NOT HAVE VERY MANY FORMS FILLED OUT. BUT THE INTERNET IS ALL A BUZZ WITH THIS HAPPING TO THEIR TOYOTAS

DRIVING ON FOUR LANE , TRUCK CAME ACROSS MED. AND HIT ME IN MIDDLE AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDE OF CAR MY AIR BAG DID NOT COME OUT,, PUSHED IN MY DASH ON KNEES NO KNEE AIR OR STEERING WHEEL OR DRIVERS SIDE CAME OUT NO DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE

'TAKATA RECALL' MY CAR WAS FORCED INTO CEMENT LANE BARRIER ON INTERSTATE AND THEN BOUNCED OFF AND REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING IN THE HEAT. NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AS THE DASHBOARD IS UP CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU CAN FEEL HOW TACKY THE DASHBOARD IS.

SUN VISORS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHEN CARE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION

AT NIGHT, NO LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DASHBOARD MELTING AND BECOMING VERY SHINY AND STICKY. BECAUSE OF THE SUPER SHINY DASH, MY VISION IS OBSCURED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE DURING THE DAY.. ESPECIALLY ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK AS THE SUN IS RISING AND SETTING. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR TOYOTA AMERICA, WHICH I DID. TOYOTA AMERICA ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENTS FOR MY CAR, AS THEY ARE ONLY ACTIVE UP TO YEAR MODELS 2009 AT THIS TIME. THEY DID ADVISE THAT FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS, THEY ARE DOING THEM CASE BY CASE, ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER, AND GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION - WHICH I DID. AFTER ALMOST 2 WEEKS OF WAITING ON A RESPONSE, I CALLED TOYOTA JUST TO BE TOLD MY CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER AN OPEN RECALL OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND MY STANDARD WARRANTY ONLY COVERED FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE GLARE PUT OFF BY MY DASH IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD, IN THAT I CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING HERE IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE ATTACHED PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON 10/16/2017 WHILE PARKED IN PARTIAL SHADE. PLEASE HELP ME AND ALL OF THE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP THIS IS CAUSING ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

WE WERE HIT AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED CENTERED ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY SEVERE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED. NO AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED AND I WAS THE PASSENGER. I WAS INJURED IN THE CRASH.

I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE . THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BECOMES LOOSE AND KEEPS DROPPING. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD. TOYOTA CREATED A WARRANTY EXTENSIONS (CSP) FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY PARTICULAR VIN HOWEVER I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD FOR 2007-20011 CAMRY'S. AND TOYOTA SHOULD COVER ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THAT PERIOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ONCE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO THE PART NOT STAYING CONNECTED IN PLACE WITHOUT FRACTURING. THE DEALER (HAMER TOYOTA, 11041 SEPULVEDA BLVD, MISSION HILLS, CA 91345, (818) 365-9621) AND THE MANUFACTURER BOTH INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO SERVICE OR RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE PART WOULD FAIL AGAIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000....UPDATED 11/21/17 *BF UPDATED 7/23/18*JB *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE ENGINE SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATION BETWEEN 20 AND 50 MILES PER HOUR. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME FOR THE 2012 CAMRY AND LATER, WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT IN MY MODEL YEAR. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. WHAT GIVES?

THE SUN VISOR OF MY CAR CANNOT STAY UP. IT KEEPS ROTATING DOWNWARD AND BLOCKS MY VIEW. THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF 2007-2011 CAMRY. I INFORMED TOYOTA BUT THEY DID NOT AGREE TO FIX MY CAR. I ALSO HAVE A 2001 CAMRY, WHICH IS 10 YEARS OLDER AND ITS SUN VISORS WORK FINE. MY FRIEND HAS A 2010 CAMRY AND IT ALSO HAS THE SAME SUN VISOR PROBLEM. HE DID NOT GET ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM EITHER.

SUN VISOR BROKE AND WILL JUST HANG WHICH OBSCURES VIEW WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A RECALL FROM TOYOTA BUT WILL NOT FIX ITEM

TOYOTA CAMRYS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE SUN VISOR DROOPING DOWN. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT IS UNWILLING TO EXTEND THE FIX TO ALL OWNERS THAT ARE AFFECTED. THIS IS THEIR POL12-03. THIS ALSO OCCURRED TO MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (EAST COAST TOYOTA LOCATED IN WOODRIDGE, NEW JERSEY), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. ...UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF *JS

SUN VISOR DROOPING THEN FALLING OFF. NOT HONORED UNDER TOYOTA POL12-03 EVEN THOUGH THE VIN RANGE IS WITHIN THE POLICY. NO REPLACEMENT OFFERED BY TOYOTA.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS CAME UNHINGED ON ITS OWN. I AM ABLE TO TEMPORARILY PLACE IT BACK ON THE HOOK BY PULLING THE PLASTIC OPEN THAT SURROUNDS THE BRACKETS SO IT CAN OPERATE AS A SUNVISOR SHOULD. BUT IF I GO OVER A BUMP THEN IT IS LIKELY TO COME UNHOOKED AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION BY LEANING WHILE ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE SMALL CATCH HOOK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AT TIMES IT COMPLETELY FALLS INTO MY LAP AS I AM DRIVING OR I WILL GET INTO THE CAR AND THE VISOR WILL BE LAYING ON THE SEAT. IT FALLS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STABLE AND IN MOTION. IT ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE UP. SO IF I NEED IT CLOSED (I.E AT NIGHT) THEN I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF. MY MOTHER HAS DRIVEN MY CAR AND SHE IS SHORTER THAN ME SO SHE SITS CLOSER THERE THE WHEEL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VISOR FELL OFF AND HIT HER ON THE HEAD. BIG ISSUE! IT IS SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD FIX. IT SEEMS THE "SAFEST" THING TO DO BESIDES REPLACE IT IS TO NOT HAVE THE VISOR UP BUT THAT IT'S THE SOLE REASON FOR HAVING A SUN VISOR... TO BLOCK THE SUN... YET IT DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY SERVE IT'S PURPOSE WITHOUT RISK. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED BUT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS IN EVERY POSITION IT IS MOVED TO SO I'M SURE IT WILL BREAK SOON ALSO. SO I CHECKED OUT TOYOTA RECALL/WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY ONLY A FEW OF THE 2011 VEHICLES FALL IN THE COVERED RANGE ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN THOSE FEW. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC CONCERN. OBSTRUCTED VISION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FALL WITHIN THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR RANGE BUT NOT THE VIN RANGE FOR REPAIR, WHICH IS CRAZY! ANY OF THE TOYOTA'S WITH THIS ISSUE THAT MEET THE BASIC CRITERIA SHOULD QUALIFY REGARDLESS OF THE PRODUCT SUPPLIER FOR THAT VIN. SEEMS TO BE A WAY TO SPEND LESS FIXING BY COVERING LESS VEHICLES AND NOT CONSIDERING SAFETY.

I CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALER AFTER MY WIFE'S 2011 SUN VISOR FELL WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND WON'T STAY UP. FIRST THE SERVICE PERSON COULDN'T FIND THE TOYOTA MEMO. THEN HE FOUND IT BUT SAID ONLY THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE COVERED. I TOLD HIM IT'S ONE UNIT. HE SPOKE TO A SERVICE TECH AND THE TECH CONFIRMED IT'S ONE UNIT. THEN HE CAME BACK WITH WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT THEN ORDER THE PART. I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK IN A FEW DAYS TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. I TOLD HIM I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER. HE PUT ME ON HOLD AND NOW CLAIMS SHE IS OUT OF HER WARRANTY PERIOD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR FLOPS DOWN AND MUST BE TAPED UP TO THE HEAD LINER UNTILL ITS REPLACED. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE. ALL THE USED AUTO PARTS DEALERS SAY THAT AS SOON AS ONE COMES IN ITS SOLD. THE PRICE HAS GONE UP FROM THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO REPALCE IT UNTILL NOW FROM $135.00 THE FIRST TIME TO NOW $250.00

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION IS UNBELIEVABLE HIGH. EVERY 400 MILES ENGINE OIL VANISHED

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLOSSINESS FROM THE DASHBOARD MELTING IMPAIRS MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE GLARE IT GIVES FROM THE SUN REFLECTING. I AM SCARED OF MY SAFETY AS I LIVE ON A TROPICAL/HOT ISLAND LOCATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS PREMATURELY DETERIORATING. THERE WAS A SOFT AREA CONCERNING THE MATERIAL, WHICH WAS NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND NEAR THE MIDDLE FRONT PORTION OF THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A STICKY RESIDUE THAT PROGRESSED AND CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY A CLOTH OVER THE AREA BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF NORTH MIAMI, 16600 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (305) 974-1103) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A MANUFACTURER RECALL AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP WHICH OBSTRUCTS VIEW. THIS HAPPENED OVER TIME AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS FROM 2007-2011.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING & CRACKING . IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND IT\'S FALLING APART THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASH IS ALSO AN ISSUE . I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE VANITY MIRROR IT IS BROKE AND WON\'T STAY UP . I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUES WITH MY 2007 CAMRY AND TOYOTA FIXED THE DASH BUT THEY TOLD ME TO GO BUY A NEW DASHBOARD AND PAY FOR IT MYSELF FOR MY 2011 THEY WILL NOT EXCEPT BLAME AND THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH THE ISSUES THEY PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME TOUGH LUCK . I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE CONDITION OF MY DASHBOARD AND I AM VERY UPSET AT TOYOTAS RESPONSE TO MY ISSUE .

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP.POSITION THE INSIDE PLASTI. THE HOLDS THE VISOR ARM HAS SEPARATED ALLOWING THE ENTIRE ARM TO ROTATE FEELY. THIS BLOCKS MY VISION OF THE ROAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL OF . POOR ASSEMBLY

THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SUN VISORS FAIL TO STOW PROPERLY AND HAVE DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO THE POINT IT SEEMED SAFER TO REMOVE THE VISORS. THE ADVERSE AFFECT IS NOW BEING BLINDED BY THE SUN WHILE DRIVING.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DROPS DOWN WHEN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER MY VIN #. THIS IS A PART DEFECT AND HAS MANY COMPLAINTS.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND WILL NOT STAY UP. FELL DOWN INTO VIEW WHEN DRIVING. VISOR FINALLY FELL OFF THE SWING ARM AND IT IS DUE TO A CRACKED/SEPARATED PLASTIC HOUSING WITHIN THE VISOR THAT THE SWING ARM INSERTS INTO.

DASHBOARD MELTING WITH STICKY RESIDUE CAUSING HIGH REFLECTION ON TO WINDSHIELD DURING DAYTIME DRIVING THAT CAUSES AN UNBEARABLE GLARE.PLEASE ADVISE ON REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION.

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON CLEANING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT'S WIFE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (SALSBURY'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 9550 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70815 225-926-8800). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,345.

ON 5/19/17 THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO NOT STAY IN THE RESTING POSITION. IT DOES NOT STAY IN THE POSITION TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD ANYMORE EITHER. IT JUST HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB FORUM WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS HTTP://J.MP/2QU53VO HERE ARE LINKS TO THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTS OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, AND APPLICABLE VINS. HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/POL12-03.PDF HTTP://MEDIA.FIXED-OPS.COM/TOY_CAMPAIGNS/ZTT-DLRLTR.PDF I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RESPONSE EMAIL FROM THEM AND CASE NUMBER. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT INHIBITS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD.

EXECESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERYTIME I CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL IT SUPPOSED TO BE GOING 5000 MILES INSTEAD THE OIL GOES VERY VERY LOW ON 700 MILES. I HAVE TO ADD TWO QUART EVERY AFTER 700-800 MILES.

TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES(2007-2011) WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE GARDEN STATE HIGHWAY, EASTER NIGHT 2017, WHEN THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2011 CAMRY JUST DROPPED DOWN. I COULDN'T GET THE VISOR TO STAY UP AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND HOLDING IT UP UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. ULTIMATELY, THE ENTIRE VISOR SEPARATED FROM THE HOLDER. I LATER LEARNED ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY SUPPORT PROGRAM (ZTT) ISSUED BY TOYOTA 8/1/12 ON SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES AND SUN VISOR BRACKETS ON CERTAIN TOYOTA 2007-2011 CAMRY''S. TOYOTA HAS ANNOUNCED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM TO COVER OF THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES/BRACKETS FOR 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. SINCE MY CAR IS GOING TO BE SIX YEARS OLD IN AUGUST, I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA EMAIL AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER APPLICABLE VIN RANGES. APPARENTLY THIS DEFECT IS NOT JUST IN THE CARS WITH THOSE APPLICABLE VIN NUMBERS, BUT IN FAR MORE CARS. MY REFERENCE # [XXX]. HAVING A SUN VISOR FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING (PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT) IS DANGEROUS, AS IS NOT HAVING A SUN VISOR WHEN THE SUN IS VERY BRIGHT.!

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T RESPOND TO REMOTE, OR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL. THE TWO REAR DOORS DO NOT ALLOW THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THESE DOORS ONLY UNLOCK BY USING THE ROCKER BUTTONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS AS THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. MY TOYOTA DEALER ADVISES THAT HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ACTIVATORS IN EACH DOOR AT COST OF $600, BUT WOUND NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD REMEDIATE THE LOCK PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS WERE FRACTURED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A CSP ( VTT) COVERING FAILING SUNVISOR HINGES ON CAMRYS FROM 2007-2011. MINE HAS FAILED. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER I AM TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 25000 TOO HIGH ( TRANSLATION WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THAT POINT. THEY HAVE NOT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED. AS AN ENGINEER I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROBLEM WAS BELIEVED TO BE SOLVED BUT WAS NOT. NO REAL NEED FOR A PHOTO TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION, THE HINGE THAT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO INSURE THAT THE VISOR STAYS WHERE YOU PLACED IT HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC AND NOW FLOPS USELESSLY AROUND. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE DESIRED POSITION

REAR ADJUSTER CONTROL ARMS BOTH RUSTED/SEIZED AND CAN NOT ADJUST ALIGNMENT. ALIGNMENT OUT AND DESTROYS TIRES IN 5K MILES, HAD TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES AGAIN

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR GOT LOSE AND FEEL COMPLETELY OFF

BRAKE ACTUATOR COMES ON OFTEN AND LOUDLY. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE UNTIL IT FAILS. THE SERVICE MANAGERS RESPONSE IS: YES WE HAVE CONFIRMED IT IS STARTING TO FAIL YES WE HAVE CONFIRMED IT IS LOUDER THAN NORMAL YES, IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL LOSE POWER BRAKING AND YOUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. YES, I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT IT WILL FAIL WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD OF 4 MORE YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. BUT NO, WE WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNDER EITHER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM OR THE $2,200 BUMPER TO BUMPER EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA DIRECTLY. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT THEY CAN CONFIRM A PART IS FAILING, IT CONTROLS BRAKING, AND YET THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT.

SUN VISOR FOLDED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP AND SECURED. MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED UNDER TOYOTA'S CURRENT ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION.

DRIVER VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK TO PLACE. IT HANGS DOWN BLOCKING ME TO SEE THE STREET LIGHTS ABOVE AND WILL NOT FOLD UP.

SUN VISOR IS FALLING DOWN BY ITS SELF, BLOCK MY SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS ISSUED. THANKS [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR STARTED HANGING DOWN AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD WITH IT IN MY WAY. I REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER 2007-2011 CAMRYS HAD SAME ISSUE BUT MINE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE 7 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SUN VISORS.

IT WON'T STAY UP IN PLACE AND FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION- THIS IS A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD 2. THE MIRROR LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. FROM THE ONLINE BLOGS I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR CAMRY MY2007-2011. I LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND IT DOESN'T FALL IN THE RANGE SPECIFIED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I ASKED TOYOTA IS THEY WILL COVER IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO AS THE VIN # DOESN'T FALL IN THEIR RANGE COVERED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD INCLUDE OTHER VIN# IN THE RANGE BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE FACING AND THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND NOT WARRANTY AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BELOW IS A LINK TO ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/ I URGE NTHJSA TO TAKE THIS UP WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE THEM FIX THIS DEFECT WITH ALL THE CARS. THANKS, PADMINI

THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS THE OPENING ACTUATORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THEY WILL NOT UNLATCH WITH BEEPER OR DRIVERS CONTROL. THIS SIDE OF THE CAR HAS NO KEY ENTRY. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR ROLLOVER YOU WOULD HAVE TO BREAK THE GLASS TO GET PEOPLE OUT

2011 CAMRY SUNVISOR BECAME LOOSE AND HUNG DOWN INTERFERING WITH MY VIEW. I TRIED DIFFERENT METHODS TO HOLD IT UP, BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. I REMOVED THE SUNVISOR SO IT WOULDN'T BLOCK MY VIEW, BUT SINCE AT SOME TIMES DURING THE YEAR I AM DRIVING INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN'S. THE VIN LIST IS VERY LIMITED, AND DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE (ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM). TOYOTA HAS CALLED THIS A WARRANTY PROBLEM (POL12-03) AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ITEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WARNING APPEARED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE HOOD WAS OPEN. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE HOOD WAS NOT OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE SECURITY ALARM KEPT RANDOMLY SOUNDING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT WAS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER AND JUST CREPT AT A VERY LOW RATE. STEPPING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL DID NOT DO ANY GOOD. IF WE WERE IN TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND ARE WAITING FOR AN ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE SEEN ON TOYOTA NATION THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL OR AN ALERT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SITUATION. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE IGNITION KEY PROBLEM WHERE THE ENGINE IS INADVERTENTLY SHUT-OFF. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED CLOSE TO OUR RESIDENCE. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. AT THE TOYOTA DEALER, WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" CONDITION AND WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR IF TOYOTA CAN NOT ASSESS AND FIX THIS UNSAFE CONDITION.

IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR PART BROKE AND COMPROMISES DRIVERS VISIBILITY. DRIVER BUMPS INTO VISOR WITH FOREHEAD WHEN DRIVING. TRUNK LATCH AT TOP WAS GIVING ME TROUBLE. GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO CLOSE VERY WELL. FOAM AROUND CAR DOOR COMING OUT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ON ANY CAR I OWNED OR HAVE DRIVEN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE. I LOVE DRIVING A CAMRY BUT SOME OF THE PARTS INSIDE ARE BREAKING AND ITS DISAPPOINTING. I USED TO HAVE A 1994 CAMRY THAT I PURCHASED USED IN 2004, AND IT NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BOUGHT THE 2011 CAMRY USED AND LOVE THE WAY IT DRIVES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR HAS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. IT BLOCKED MY VIEW AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

VEHICLE IS USING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES OR SO. TOYOTA HAS A BULLENTIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME IT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. ADDED 1 QUART AT 100,500 MILES. CAME IN FOR CHECK UP AND IT WAS A QUART LOW AT 101,700 MILES, SEE ATTACHED UPLOAD FOR SERVICE RECEIPT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HAND, HEAD, RIGHT KNEE, AND SHOULDER. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR IN OPERATION, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NO SCREWS TO TIGHTEN TO STOP VISOR FROM FALLING DOWN. DANGEROUS. FINALLY AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING TO KEEP VISOR UP I HAD TO HOT GLUE THE VISOR TO TOP OF CAR; NOW I CANNOT USE VISOR QUICKLY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. MIGHT NEED TO NOTE THAT RARELY WAS VISOR EVER USED.

I DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE CAR AND IT OPERATED FINE. AFTER LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY, I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, MASTER FAILURE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH AND I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE BRAKE DID NOT STOP THE CAR, SO I PUSH THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO STOP AND IT STUTTERED ABOUT 10 TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE BRAKES. THE CAR IS STILL BEING DIAGNOSED AT THEY DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS FAILED. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION ZTT AND HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT WILL JUST DROP INTO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AND DISTRACTING ME AS A REACH TO MANIPULATE IT OUT OF MY VIEW. *TR

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY...PROBLEM..STICKY DASHBOARD...I CALL TOYOTA FOR SOME HELP...THE TELL ME THE NOT GOIN TO FIX

FIRST INCIDENT: JUNE 15, 2016 HEADING TO THE EXPRESSWAY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR STARTED TO BOUNCE. I PULLED INTO A REPAIR SHOP TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED. SECOND INCIDENT SEPTEMBER 22,2016 I WAS OUT OF TOWN, AND THE CAR STARTED TO REPEAT THE SAME AS IN JUNE. I PULLED INTO A TIRE SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE STEEL BELT. AGAIN, I EXPLAINED TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR. HE ADVISED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE CAR SET WITHOUT MOVEMENT, PRIOR TO SELLING AND THE WEATHER BEAT THE TIRES. HE PLACED THE TIRE IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. IN BOTH INCIDENTS: TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN STEEL BELT INSIDE THE TIRE WALL.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE AND BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. I WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED SIMILAR PROBLEM ON INTERNET. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THE VISOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DROPPING AND NOW CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME DRIVING DURING THE DAY AND MOSTLY AT NIGHT AS IT HIDES HALF OF MY FIELD OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND EVERYONE KEEPS STATING THE VIN NUMBER FALLS OUT OF THE RANGE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS LINK HERE SAYS DIFFERENTLY: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-4 IT SAYS THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS DESPITE MILEAGE FOR THIS DROPPING VISOR. IT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEFECT IN VISORS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE TRIED TAPING IT, PUSHING IT BACK, FORWARD, EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS. THIS VISOR DEFECT HAS CAUSED ME ANXIETY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN VISIBILITY NOT IN MY OWN SELF BUT IN THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE. I AM SIMPLY REQUESTING THEM TO CHANGE THE VISOR FOR ME AND HELP ME RESOLVE THIS TO HELP ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT Y SAFETY OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAN NOT GO BACK TO IT'S POSITION. IT'S HANGING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE HARD TIME TO LOOK IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. MY DAUGHTER IS LITTLE TALLER AND SHE DRIVES THIS CAR TOO, AND IT MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE FOR HER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH THAT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HIT DEEP POTHOLES WERE THEY WERE DO CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADS AND THE HUBCAPS CAME OFF ON THE SAME SIDE AT THE SAME TIME.

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2011. THE SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN. I HAVE NO SUN VISOR AND I SEE IT AS A SAFETY HAZARD. CALLED TOYOTA CA DELEAR- CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY IN SAN JOSE, THEY SAID THAT IT IS COVERED AFTER CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER. WENT THERE AND WASTED 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT IS IS NOT COVERED. CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE ( OR BAD EXPERIENCE) LINE AND THEY OPENED A CASE (1609170669) AND SAID IS IS NOT COVERED. I SEE THAT TOYOTA PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE QUALITY BOTH HAVE GONE DOWN. IT IS BETTER TO BUY OTHER GOOD BRANDS AND AVOID TOYOTA.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THAT I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE PAST 45 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 60MPH. I THEN WAS ABLE THANK GOD TO GET OFF INTERSTATE AND EXIT TO SIDE STREET. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 3RD GEAR AND SPEED WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 45MPH. I MADE APPOINTMENT THE SAME DAY TO GET CAR LOOKED AT BOB HOWARD TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE(BAD) . I AM INFORMED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND IT IS MY EXPECTATION TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED ASAP AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE AS WELL AS PROVIDING ME TRANSPORTATION AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE! I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED APPROXIMATELY 4-6 WEEKS AGO AND I DO NOT RECALL BEING INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR EXPEDIENT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER AND IT BEING AT TOYOTA'S FULL EXPENSE AND NOT MINE RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED [XXX] PS CONTACT INFORMATION [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

YESTERDAY WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. WE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW TO FIX IT. WHEN WE DID, WE SAW THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN OUT FOR 2007 - 2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THERE WAS A VIDEO AND OUR SUN VISOR DID EXACTLY WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CAMRYS WHICH IT COVERS. OUR CAMRY DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THAT RANGE. ON FURTHER RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE BUT WEREN'T COVERED BECAUSE OF THEIR VIN DIDN'T FALL WITHIN THE RANGE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA BEFORE. WE OWN FOUR TOYOTAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS POPPING AND WON'T GO UP ALL THE WAY. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHAT I NEED TO DO. THANK YOU. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE COULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS EVENTUALLY BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY WHICH CREATES SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DRIVER IS FACING THE SUN. TOYOTA PREVIOUSLY OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CAMRY FROM 2007-2011 BUT MY 2011 WAS NOT WITHIN THE VIN RANGE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BALL JOINT MAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V732000 (SUSPENSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISER FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ONTO DRIVERS LAP.

SUN VISOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE DROPPED AS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DRASTICALLY OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO FUMBLE WITH VISOR WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CONNECTOR AND THE SUN VISOR PREMATURELY FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE CONNECTOR THAT HELD THE SUN VISOR IN PLACE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING THE SUN VISOR. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 11/01/16*LJ *TR

UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN MY WIFE AND I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD REV UP VERY QUICKLY BEFORE IT CHANGED OUT. JUST RECENTLY, IT BEGUN TO REV UP MORE OFTEN BEFORE IT SHIFTED GEARS. IT DID THAT FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS AT ALL AFTER 40MPH.THEN ULTIMATELY, IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 134,000 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARS THE TRANSMISSION HAS BURNED OUT ON IT. AFTER ANALYZING THE REVIEWS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE,I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT TOYOTA HAS SOLD ITS CONSUMER AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. I, AS A CONSUMER, REALLY WISH TOYOTA WOULD CONSIDER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSE AT THE HANDS OF THE CONSUMER. I, BEING A LOWER CLASS WORKING MAN, REALLY WENT THROUGH A LOT TO OBTAIN THE MONEY TO COVER THIS EXPENSE. YOU PROBABLY CAN TELL BECAUSE I'M TAKING THE TIME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM. THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL THIS IS AN UNFAIR SITUATION TO THE CONSUMER. MY WIFE AND I PAID A DECENT PENNY FOR OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT IS LESS THAN SIX YEARS OLD AND ALREADY HAS A MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUE. I REALLY HOPE TOYOTA CONSIDERS SOME FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CONSUMER. I PRAY MY WORDS WON'T FALL ON DEAF EARS. THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SUN VISOR SLOWLY ROTATED DOWNWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

DRIVER'S SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN.

ON APPROXIMATELY JULY 19, 2016, I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND AT 60 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-85 DURING THE EARLY EVENING IN DURHAM, NC. THE SUN WAS LOW IN THE SKY AND I PULLED THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN'S GLARE. THE NEXT THING I KNEW WAS THAT THE SUN VISOR WAS IN MY HAND AND I WAS STRUGGLING TO SEE THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME SO THAT I WOULD NOT HIT IT. I WAS TOTALLY STARTLED NOT ONLY BY THE GLARE OF THE SUN AFTER THE VISOR FAILED, BUT ALSO BY THE FAILURE OF THE VISOR ITSELF. THE VISOR HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM ITS SUPPORT ARM. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND ORDERED A REPLACEMENT SUN VISOR. WHILE THERE, A SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SOME 2011 CAMRY SUN VISORS. HE OFFERED TO LOOK UP MY CAR TO SEE IF IT WAS ON THE LIST. IT WASN'T, BUT HE SAID THAT CARS ON THE LIST HAD VISORS THAT FAILED IN THE SAME WAY AS MINE HAD. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST, THE SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT TOYOTA, WHICH I DID. THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY IS DESIGNATED "ZTT" AND AFFECTS MANY CAMRYS, INCLUDING SOME MANUFACTURED IN 2011, BUT BEFORE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS PICTURES OF VISORS AMONG THE EXTENDED WARRANTY VEHICLES THAT FAILED IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER AS MINE HAD. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT VISOR SO I 'M WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, AS NEARLY HAPPENED TO ME.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO LEAN FORWARD TO SEE THE WHOLE ROAD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT MY REAR VIEW MIRRORS.

DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE OFF.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING ON MY CAMRY 2011. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED WARANTEE ON CAMRY 2011 AFFECTED VEHICLES TO 2017. IT REFSES TO PYA FOR MIME VECAUSE IT SAYS THE THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED. WHO WILL PAY FOR MY MELTING DASHBOARD.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN RETRACTED POSITION.

I NOTICED THE SUN VISOR STARTING TO SAG A BIT WHEN I PUT IT UP TO USE IT OR WHEN I CLOSED IT. IT HAD DONE THIS FOR A COUPLE MONTHS AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED USING IT, IT FELL DOWN AND WOULDNT GO BACK UP INTO POSITION TO USE IT OR TO STORE IT AWAY. IT WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION AND WITH THE SUN FACING ME FACE THAT TOO WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS BUT MY VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY AFFECTED.

THE RIGHT VISOR WAS ALREADY HANGING, WOULD NOT STOW, BUT WHILE DRIVING TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR SNAPPED AND WAS HANGING IN FRONT OF MY FACE TO WHERE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT THEN I RIPPED THE THING OFF SO I COULD SEE. THIS REALLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE INCIDENTS, AND APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE CURRENT LIST. UNACCEPTABLE.

DASH IS MELTING, CRACKING, AND SHINY CAUSING GLARE ON DASH AND REFLEX THAT GLARE IN WINDSHIELD CAUSING DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE IS FALLING DOWN ON CAMRY 2011. WONT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. ALSO TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NOISE IN THE STEERING AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING SHAFT WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. CAR ONLY 58000 MILES.

SUN VISORS HAVE JUST FALLEN DOWNWARD AND WILL NOT STAY UP. THE DRIVERS SIDE COMPLETELY FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON SOME '07-'11 CAMRY'S, BUT MINE DOES NOT FALL IN THE VIN # RANGE THEY EXTENDED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON ALL VIN #'S FROM THESE YEARS. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I HAVE A VERY BAD CASE OF STICKY DASH BOARD WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA I TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS . I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW JUST SOME OF THE CARS THAT ARE OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL ARE RECALLED BUT MY IS NOT. MY DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND TOYOTA NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS. I WENT TO THE BEFORE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TO TOLD THAT THAT WAS OK AND IN THE PASS YEAR THE DASH BOARD IS WORST AND I AM HAVE TROUBLE DRIVING DUE TO THE SHINE THAT GLARE ON THE GLASS IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AS YOUR DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND YOU CAN GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS DURING THE DAYTIME OR NIGHT..

JULY 2016 I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY BANK ATM AT APPROX.2-5 MPH IN MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN THE CAR TOOK OFF. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THE CAR. I MISSED A CAR AND A VAN, WENT UP OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AND HIT A POLE. THAT STOPPED ME! I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. SOMEHOW NO ONE GOT HURT. I HAD 3 BLOWN TIRES AND THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW BROKEN OUT WITH DAMAGE TO THAT DOOR. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PULLED FROM THE BODY. THE CAR HAS DAMAGE TO THE TIE ROD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FRONT END ALIGNMENT WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE DONE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH NO RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2011 CAMRY'S FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS, AFTER A DEATH? THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY IN 2013 FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. BEFORE THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS UP, I HAD TO RETURN TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT DONE. THE NEXT DAY I WAS BACK AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN ALIGNMENT. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT REPEATED. I CAN'T RECALL THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE HAD THIS DONE. AFTER THE DEALER WARRANTY RAN OUT, I USED AT LEAST 3 OTHER AUTO REPAIR CHAINS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO EACH ONE NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM SOLVED. IT WAS NEVER CORRECTED TO MY SATISFACTION. AT SOME OF THE REPAIR SHOPS I ALSO HAD 12 MONTH WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH TIRES, BRAKES, AND OTHER SERVICES. THEY BEGAN TO REFUSE TO REPEAT THE ALIGNMENTS, ASKING IF I HIT SOMETHING OR SUGGESTING OTHER EXPENSIVE SERVICES THAT I DIDN'T WANT OR NEED, REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY UNTIL I HAD THESE SERVICES DONE. I KNOW THEY HATED TO HAVE ME COME IN SO MANY TIMES TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT REPEATED. IT WAS NEVER CORRECTED AND THIS BECAME VERY EXPENSIVE-HAVING UNNECESSARY SERVICES THAT NEVER HELPED THE PROBLEM. AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE OWNER, I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE BALL JOINTS OR ANY OTHER NOTICES ABOUT IT. NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS OR BEEN INFORMED BY ANYONE CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. I CANNOT RECALL THE PROBLEM BEING CORRECTED EVER. IT ONLY HAS 72,000MI ON IT AND IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A SAFE OR RELIABLE VEHICLE ANY LONGER. THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD AT LEAST MAKE SOME ATTEMPT TO ASSIST ME. IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CAR. LIKE FIGHTING WITH IT AND HAVING TO CONSTANTLY KEEP IT IN THE CORRECT LANE AND ON THE STREET.

IN APRIL 2016 I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL ON MY CAMRY DASHBOARD . THE DASHBOARD FELT VERY STICKY AND NOW IS CRACKING . IN ADDITION, THE SHINY OIL REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD. THE REFLECTION IS DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY IN THE BRILLIANT SUNLIGHT AND AT NIGHT. CLEARLY THIS REFLECTION IS A DRIVING HAZARD AND MY DASHBOARD IS DISINTEGRATING UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAMRY DASHBOARD RECALL I IMPLORE THAT TOYOTA DO THE RIGHT THING AND STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT . PHOTOS OF DASHBOARD WILL FOLLOW.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR WILL NOT STAY UP MAKING IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE AS IT INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY. IT DOES NOT HELP BLOCK SUNLIGHT AS THE DRIVER CAN NOT ADJUST IT TO BLOCK INCOMING LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL- TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE 2007-2011 SUN VISORS FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR MY SUN VISOR BECAUSE THEY SAY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE SUN VISOR JUST FALL DOWN UNEXPECTED ON THE FWY AND ON THE MAIN STREETS WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE SUN VISOR KNOWING THAT THE 2011 HAVE A PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS PLACE A RECALL ON THE SUN VISOR WHICH IS POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE TOYOTA.COM

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WONT STAY UP CANT SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN...UPDATED 09/20/16 *BF *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. A TOYOTA INTERNAL MEMO TO ITS DEALERS STARES THAY MY MODEL AND YEAR ARE COVERER IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE TO REPLACE THE DASH. WHEN I CALLED VTOYOTO I WAS TOLD MY CAR VIN IS EXCLUDED. I ASKED WHY MY CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AN SAME MODEL AND YEAR IS NOT COVERED. I GOT NO ANSEWR. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GO TO A DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE PROBLEM BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AN INSPECTION FEE. I WANT THE DAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE.

WHEN I TRAVEL AT THE SPEED OF 65+ MPH , STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VERY BADLY , WHEEL BALANCING DOES NOT FIX IT.

NOTICED A LARGE KNOT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS EARLIER. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER OF COOPER TIRES AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF WE HAD FAILED TO NOTICE THIS, IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. BEING ON THE FRONT, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRO RATED RATE. AFTER READING ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT, WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH BRANDS. THE TIRES HAVE NOT HELD UP TO THE MILAGE THAT WAS ADVERTISED. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILES ON THEM BUT THEY ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE WEAR BARS. WE HAVE RECORDS AND ALL THE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THESE TIRES. THESE WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAMERY!

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN. FAILS TO STAY IN SET POSITION . IN UP POSITION STARTS TO FALL DOWN. APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE 2007-2011 YEAR RANGE. CAN SUDDENLY OBSTRUCT FIELD OF VIEW.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SNAPPED WHILE LIFTING FROM DOWN POSITION - CAR WAS STATIONARY - THEN IT WAS DANGLING IN FRONT OF WINDOW - COULDN'T SEE - HAD TO PULL IT OFF IN ORDER TO SEE ROADWAY - NOW HAVE NO WAY TO BLOCK THE SUN WHILE DRIVING.

THE SUN VISOR DROPPED AND DOES NOT HOLD. IT BLOCKED THE VISIBILITY AND SUDDENLY HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH LANES AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, BACK, AND CHEST THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE READ-OUTS FOR BOTH THE SOUND SYSTEM AND CLIMATE CONTROL ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ MOST OF THE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN DAYLIGHT. IT IS A DISTRACTION THAT ONCE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AFTER WHICH I DON'T TRY READING THEM WHILE DRIVING.

MELTING DASHBOARD. SHINING AND STICKY

DRIVER-SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. DISTRACTS DRIVING VIEW.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND DID NOT RETAIN ITS POSITION. IT DROPPED DOWN AND BLOCKED MY VISION CAUSING ME TO VEER OFF THE ROAD. SUN VISOR THEN DETACHED COMPLETELY FROM HINGE. CAT NOW HAS NO WAY TO BLOCK SUN AND I HAVE TO DRIVE ONE HANDED TO BLOCK THE SUN LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR TRUNK LID RELEASE BUTTON RUBBER COVERING MELTED AS A RESULT, THE METAL PART OF THE BUTTON BECAME EXTREMELY HOT TO TOUCH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS TO THE RIGHT HAND THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WHILE THE CONTACT WAS IN THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR FRONT POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN 100 DEGREES TEMPERATURE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT TO USE THE FOB INNER KEY AND POINT DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE PUSH BUTTON STARTER IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

HELLO. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO NEW CAMRYS, IN 2007 AND 2011. IN BOTH OF THEM THE SUNVISORS HAVE COME DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP IN POSITION. I PURCHASED A NEW SUN VISOR FOR THE 2007 CAMRY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT NOW BOTH OF MY SUNVISORS IN MY 2011 CAMRY ARE DOING THE SAME. I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2011, BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE 2007. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IN BOTH VEHICLES, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ALL WILL DO ABOUT THIS?

STEERING COLUMN HAS A POPPING IN IT WHEN TURNING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE MOVING. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM THROUGH MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY. IT STARTED AROUND 50K MILES AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE WITH TIME.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, IT USES ABOUT 1QT EVERY 1000MILES. CAR HAS HAD A METICULOUS MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, OIL AND FILTER CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES.DRIVEN BY A 65 YEAR OLD WOMAN

TRANSMISSION WILL APPEAR TO DISENGAGE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF IN COLD OR AFTER SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS (9-10 HRS.). STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR WILL FEEL AND APPEAR TO START OFF NORMALLY, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE, AND THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOU FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT OR EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 3,000 MILE - CURRENT MILEAGE 87,000. DEALER CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR DUPLICATE. I HAVE DUPLICATED IT FOR THEM ONCE DURING THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THEM FOR REPAIRS AND TESTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS PROPERLY ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE DETAILS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V014000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, I HAVE TO REPAIR EVERYTHING, AND I AM MAKING THE PAYMENT EVERY MONTH. I WAS TOLD THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT THE CAR WAS CLEAN WITH NO ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR GOT ACCIDENT

TAKATA RECALL UNIT 2 STATED SHE WAS TRAVELING WEST ON CAMP JACKSON RD. AT LYNN ST. WHEN UNIT 1 ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO LYNN ST. FROM CAMP JACKSON AND HIT HER. UNIT 1 STATED HE WAS TRAVELING EAST ON CAMP JACKSON RD WHEN HE APPROACHED LYNN ST. UNIT 1 STATED HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO LYNN ST. FROM THE CAMP JACKSON RD, TURNING LAND WHEN HE HIT UNIT 2. UNIT 1 STATED HE DID NOT SEE UNIT 2 APPROACHING. MOVING.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR ROTATES DOWNWARD FROM THE STORED POSITION & SUDDENLY BLOCKS THE VIEW OF DRIVER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

THE BRAKES FAILED ON THIS CAR JANUARY 6, 2016, CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH THE REAR END OF A TRUCK WHILE GOING ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. I WAS IN NORMAL TRAFFIC, ON A CITY STREET, COMING TO A SLOW STOP, AND AS I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 15 FEET IN FRONT OF ME, WAITING IN LINE FOR THE TURN LANE, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE, WHICH WAS HARD AS A ROCK. HOWEVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP; CONSEQUENTLY, I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. I WAS GOING SO SLOW THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT, ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED ABOUT $1200 IN DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY EITHER THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR OR THE BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SEEN BY A TOYOTA CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVE WHO STATED IN WRITING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE FLUID RESERVOIR FILTER. HOWEVER, THERE IS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE-1), NUMBER POL14-04, FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AND SKID CONTROL ECU/BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR. OUR VIN IS LISTED IN THE GROUP OF AFFECTED VEHICLES.

CAR BOUGHT USED WITH 40,000MILES. I WAS DRIVING 65+ON 87N BY EXIT 2 THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT; CAR TOWED. THE VEHICLE FAILED;THE CLUTCH,FLYWHEEL,COMPRESSOR,BARRING & AXLE WERE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED/REPAIRED.ABOUT 72,500 MILES ON THE CAR. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 CARS?WE RETURNED HOME SAFE AND SOUND. BLESSED.

PURCHASED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE NEW AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE TIRE MAINT. FOR 24K MILES AND IT WAS CUPPING TIRES OUT AT 15K THEY REPLACED THEM AND 15K LATER CUPPED AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT THEY DID ALIGNMENT SO WHAT THEN, TRIED TO FILE LAWSUIT AND WAS TURNED DOWN AFTER TOYOTA SENT SOMEONE DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT SINCE THEN EVERY 15-20K MILES NEW TIRES GO ON BECAUSE THEY ARE CUPPED TOYOTA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG NOW THE CAR HAS 150K MILES AND I'M ON MY 7TH SET OF TIRES, HAVE USED ANYTHING FROM A 80K MILES YOKOHAMA DOWN TO THE CHEAPEST SET OF SUMITOMO TIRES AND IT DOESN'T MAKE VERY MUCH DIFFERENCE AS TO THE MILEAGE YOU GET FROM A SET, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER A DOZEN 4 WHEEL ALIGHNMENTS DONE AND THEY HAVE BEEN BALANCED HUNDREDS OF TIMES NOTHING HELPS. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES AND THEY LASTED 15K. ON THIS SET OF TIRES THAT IS ON THE CAR NOW I LET THE TIRE DEALER TAKE OVER THE MAINT. AND THEY ROADFORCE BALANCE AND ROTATE EVERY 5K MILES AND IT HASN'T HELPED ANY, THE TIRES ARE CUPPED BAD AND THEY ARE AT 20K MILES NOW. I AM CHANGING ALL THE STRUTS AND ALIGNMENT AGAIN TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM.

SUN VISOR WILL SPONTANEOUSLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY. THE LOCKING MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO STAY IN ONE PLACE IS DEFECTIVE AND IT IS UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION. THIS ALSO CREATES A HAZARD GETTING INTO THE CAR, AS A TALLER INDIVIDUAL INEVITABLY WILL SLAM HIS HEAD ON THE VISOR AS IT IS ALWAYS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE NEAR THE ENGINE AREA. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DAUGHTER AND A FRIEND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND NEITHER OF THE FRONT AIR BAGS CAME OUT. A GIRL SLAMMED ON BRAKES IN FRONT OF THEM (IN THE RAIN) AND SHE RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE GIRL AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST 45 TO 50 MPH AND AND AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT AND HER AND HER FRIEND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS INDEPEDENTLY FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,898.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD HEAD-ON COLLISION AND BOTH LEG AND STEERING WHEEL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON THE STREET AND THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY BECAUSE A SCHOOL BUS CUT HIM OFF. I WAS WEARING A SEAT-BELT. THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WAS SO GREAT THAT IT KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS. THE AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED BY MY LEGS HAS LEFT ME WITH SOME OF THE WORST BRUISING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND SUBSTANTIAL PAIN. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES OF BOTH THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND MY SUBSEQUENT INJURIES. THE ER DOCTORS, ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR, NEUROLOGIST AND EMTS THOUGHT THAT THESE INJURIES WERE UNUSUAL AND NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE NORMAL RESULT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

CAR EXCELLERATED OUT OF CONTROL,CAUSING DAMAGE TO AN APARTMENT AN TOTALING THE CAR OUT.

DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT) RECALL. I ONLY FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CERTAIN POPULATION OF 2011 CAMRYS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE 2011 CAMRY TO HAVE ISSUE AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED VIA DIFFERENT FORUMS AND HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEIR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.

SUN VISOR UNEXPECTEDLY SAGGED DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AND NOW PERMANENTLY IN THE DROPPED DOWN POSITION. QUITE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WHEN 1/2 OF YOUR VISIBILITY SUDDENLY GETS BLOCKED, AND THIS ISSUE SEEMS QUITE COMMONLY REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUM COMPLAINTS.

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY STARTED DROOPING WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE. I HAD TO REMOVE. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY CAR.

SUN VISOR NOT STAYING ON DESIRE POSITION, KEEP FALLING - HARD TO DRIVE CAR, NO SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN "CLOSED" POSITION. FLOPS/ FALLS DOWN AND SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY THROUGH WINDSHIELD. ONLY REMEDY IS TO EXTEND THE VISOR TOTALLY OPEN TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD, HOWEVER, THIS IS STILL A NUISANCE. THE VISOR CANNOT BE COMPLETELY REMOVED OR POSITIONED IN MANNER THAT IS NOT OBSTRUCTING VIEW. OTHER VEHICLES ARE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, NOT THE VIN FOR THIS 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

PURCHASED TWO RAIN X WIPER BLADES #5070277-1 AND 5079280-1 ON 6/29/2015 AND AFTER USING THEM FOR 30 DAYS THE RUBBER INSERTS WHERE TOTALLY GONE LEAVING THE PLASTIC TO CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD. THE PLASTIC CONTACTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED THOUSANDS OF SCRATCHES. THESE SCRATCHES MAKES IT HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE SCRATCHES.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT BECAME FLOPPY AND DROPPED DOWN INTO MY DIRECT LINE OF SITE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER 2011 CAMRY'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN/VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY FOR TOYOTA AND EXTREMELY SCARY FOR MY SON AND MY SAFETY. I HAVE OWNED THREE CAMRY'S AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I JUST WANT MY VISOR FIXED! I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS SAY THE SAME THING. I FEEL THEY SHOULD EXPAND THE WARRANTY POLICY TO APPLY TO ALL 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE BACKING UP IN A PARKING AREA, THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT AND TWO PASSENGERS WERE NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD RECEIVE A RESPONSE WITHIN A MONTH. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,350. UPDATED 1/21/16 *SS; 04/19/18*JB *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN, HE ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE DEPRESSED ACCIDENTALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED OVER SEVEN TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR WERE DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. UPDATED 02/25/16.*JB

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT HOLDING ITS POSITION AND HAS BECOME A HAZARDOUS SINCE IT BLOCKS NORMAL VISIBILITY WHEN DANGLING. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT USES THE INSIDE MECHANISM BROKE. 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR EARLY BREAKDOWN. BUT 2011 MODEL I BELIEVE HAS SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED OR FIXED. TOYOTA IS PROVIDING CHEAP QUALITY PARTS AND PUSHING THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND MAKE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS DETERIORATING AND EMITTED A STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT CREATED A GLARE ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH IMPACTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 11/25/15*LJ THE DEALER STATED THE CONSUMERS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. UPDATED 02/10/16 *JS UPDATED 06/09/16.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DETACHED FROM THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, OBSTRUCTING THE CONTACTS VIEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOME DETACHED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

APPROXIMATELY ONE AND 1/2 MONTHS AGO (MAYBE LONGER?), THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTING TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I MOVED IT UP (CLOSED) AND DOWN (OPEN). TONIGHT, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW. I COULD NOT MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO GET IT OUT MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD SAFELY. I ENDED UP REMOVING IT COMPLETELY WHEN I GOT HOME IN ORDER TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I HAVE NO SUN VISOR. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA, DRIVE EAST IN MORNING & WEST IN THE EVENING. I HAVE TO REPLACE/REPAIR THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IT HAD ONLY BEEN ABOUT 1 OR 2 MONTHS SINCE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ONE DAY WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE COVER OF THE SIDE DRIVER AIR BAG WAS HANGING. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT BACK. THEY BASICALLY GLUED IT BACK. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER 2 TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE TEXAS HEAT. THE COVER IS SUPER GLUED ON BUT WHEN I GO THRU A ROUGH ROAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THE TIRES WERE DAMAGED. AS A RESULT, BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,400. MA 10/21/15 THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS ON HIS THIRD SET OF TIRES. UPDATED 03/31/16. *JB

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR INSTANTLY BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. ONE WEEK LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. BOTH SUNVISORS ARE CURRENTLY HANGING LOOSE AND I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST THEM AT ALL. BOTH ARE BLOCKING MY VISION, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THOUSANDS OF CARS' SUNVISORS DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MINE 'BECAUSE THEY DECIDED NOT TO FIX MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER'.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT, THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED, AND THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

THE SUNVISOR WON'T STAY UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CHEST AND BRUISES TO THE NECK WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY AND WILL NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. THEY HAVE A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASNT INCLUDED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT TOYOTA BY PHONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY DONT WANT TO REPLACE IT.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE 30K MILES MAINTENANCE CHECK UP AND EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 38,500 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. COULD THIS BE A DEFECT, FOR I HAVE READ OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE? I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

I NOTICED MY TIRES HAS UNEVEN TREAD WEAR BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND I WAS TOLD MY WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS FINE NOW I'M WORRIED BECAUSE I HAVE A BUMPY RIDE AND ITS UNCOMFORTABLE, I JUST WISH THEY CAN DO A REMEDY ON IT.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR (2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY). MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL AFFECTED. SINCE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN IT IMPACTS VISIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SEAT BELT TWISTED AROUND THE REAR PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT, BUT IT CONTINUED TO RETRACT. AS A RESULT, THE PASSENGER WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 10/31/2017*CN

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOW, THE VISOR HAS COME COMPLETELY OFF, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET IT TO STAY BACK UP. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-2011 CAMRYS FOR THIS ISSUE. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND BRACKET. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA, THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE OTHER CAMRYS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERING.

STARTER MOTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION. BATTERY DIAGNOSED AS FULLY CHARGED. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT IN FULL OR IN PART PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE STARTER MOTOR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES.

I HAVE THIS JERKING MOVEMENT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA IN WILSON, NC WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT IT STILL DOES THAT TODAY. I USED 87 OCTANE GAS, BUT I DID PUT 89 OCTANE IN THERE ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY WORK DONE WITHIN THE WARRANTY, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY. SO ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO WEAR OFF? ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD ALL THESE RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF CONCERNING THE TIRES, THE OVERLOADING CAPACITY ISSUES.

DEFECTIVE SUNVISOR (LEFT) WHICH WAS A SAFETY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IN TOYOTA CAMRY PRODUCED BETWEEN FEB 2006 AND FEB 2010. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY 2010 AND THEREFORE NOT PART OF SAFETY. TOYOTA SHOULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE WARRANTLY ENHANCEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER A CONCRETE PARKING DIVIDER. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FOOT INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN SHE BECAME TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULDNT STOP. SHE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND SHE ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO A VAN. SHE WAS BRUISED AND SCRAPPED UP CAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN A DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AND HIT MY CAR; FIRST IMPACT HIT AT MY DRIVERS SIDE AT FRONT LEFT OF CAR THEN ALSO SHE HIT THE LEFT BACK SIDE OF MY CAR WHICH SWUNG AROUND AT IMPACT. DRIVER STATED SHE DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. SHE WAS TICKETED AT FAULT AND BOTH OF US WERE TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL, NOT EVEN THE SIDE IMPACT BAGS! I HIT MY HEAD ON EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE UPPER DOOR AND SUSTAINED A HEMATOMA ON MY TOP LEFT SKULL AND POSSIBLE CONCUSSION AS WELL AS NECK AND BACK INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A TOYOTA OFFICIAL TOLD ME LATER THAT FROM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS INSTANCE,

BOTH SUN VISORS BROKE WITHIN ONE WEEK APART. THE HINGE OF THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING CAUSING VISOR TO HANG IN THE FIELD OF VISION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CAMRY SLE USED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN. 2014, MY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 55-70MPH. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED WHERE I PURCHASED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING CAUSING THE VIBRATION AND MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN (HIGH/LOW SPOTS IN ALL TIRES). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA (AFTER HAVING BEEN THERE THE WEEK BEFORE FOR A SERVICE) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ONLY LEAKING SLIGHTLY AND THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE AMOUNT LEAKING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY LEAKING ISSUES AT MY SERVICE AND IT WAS EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE CHECKED AND FINE. I REPLACED THE FRONT TWO TIRES AGAIN A BOUT A MONTH AGO THINKING IT MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TYPICALLY GET REPLACED AT $70,000 BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND THAT I SHOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED SINCE THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION--ONLY WHEN RESUMING TRAVEL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I FIRST GET INTO THE CAR AND BEGIN TRAVEL. I AM CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND REALLY TRY TO EASE DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I STILL NOTICE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED, ONE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED (I AM IN MY 60S AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALSO DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF WHIPLASH OR DISCOMFORT WITH A SUDDEN START.

EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY ABOUT 19,000 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE STRUTS USUALLY LAST FOR 70,000 MILES AND THEY MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND HAND ON SHIFT TO PUT IN PARK, WHEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION STARTED, AND COULD NOT BE STOPPED BY ME, MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WAS HEADED TO GO THRU A LABORATORY WINDOW(PEOPLE INSIDE) I PRAYED NOT TO HIT THE BUILDING, THEN MY LEFT HAND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL FAST TO THE LEFT, MISSED THE LAB, AND HIT THE CORNER OF A WALL.

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND THE TWO REAR DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS ONLY UNLOCKED MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER LOCATED UNDER THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD CLOSE MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT WOULD HANG A LITTLE BIT. EVENTUALLY, IT STATED HANGING TO WHERE IT WAS ALWAYS DOWN. FINALLY, THE MOUNT (OR WHATEVER THE PART IS THAT IT CLIPS INTO) BROKE OFF SO I HAD TO REMOVE IT. NOW THAT IT IS MUCH SUNNIER MOST DAYS, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE SUN VISOR, ALSO, I AM NOW STARTING TO HEAR THE POPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND IT IS STARTING TO HANG A LITTLE BIT. *TR

THE NEW FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADRESTS FORCE YOUR HEAD TO BE AGAINST THE HEADREST AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK SIDE TO SIDE, FORCES YOUR HEAD FORWARD SO YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN RATHER THAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PUTS A STRAIN ON THE BACK. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING WHICH PUTS YOU AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SPEED 60 MPH. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ME AND MY PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. WE HAD A LOT OF CHEST PAIN AROUND THE INCIDENT. *TR

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY HAVE UNDERREPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V014000. I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, OR NEITHER I NOR MY DEALER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS YOU KNOW, THIS RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2015, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE T-BONED, WITH THE STRIKING CAR HITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND B-PILLAR AREA FLUSH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR CURTAIN DEPLOYED, THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED SOME INJURIES FROM THE FAILURE OF THIS AIRBAG TO INFLATE AND PROTECT HER. TOYOTA DID VISIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE COLLISION AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND IT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THAT AIRBAG. I TRIED TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE DOWNLOADED DATA FOR YOUR REVIEW, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTACH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO SEND YOU THIS PDF FILE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT PERHAPS TOYOTA HAS UNDERREPORTED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, PUTTING MORE UNSUSPECTING TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT IN THE INFORMATION LOOP REGARDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA THAT RESULTS FROM MY COMPLAINT.

I'M DEAF AND FOUND THE SUNVISOR ON THE FRONT OF DRIVER SEAT IS LOOSE ABOUT OCT 2014. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD NEED TO PAY FOR FIX. I FELT THAT IT IS NOT SAFETY ISSUE. MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT SO I EMAIL YOU AND WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT? PLEASE ADVISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE VEHICLE AS THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FOG LIGHT HAS BROKEN ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY COSTLY DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. REPLACEMENT OF THE FOG LIGHT IS ABOUT $250.00 I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BECOME A RE-CALL ITEM FOR TOYOTA. THANK YOU *TR

THE INNER MECHANISM OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR GRADUALLY FAILED. THE SUN VISOR WOULD DROP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY SOMETIMES OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. PART # 7432006780E0. *TR

CAR LOST BRAKES WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET. ALL THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME (ABS, PARKING BRAKE, BRAKE WARNING) ON ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING. HAD TO PRESS BRAKES ALL THE WAY AND EVEN THEN THE BRAKING WAS VERY MINIMAL. IT WAS HARD TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BECAME HARD TO TURN. PULLED TO SIDE, TURNED OFF CAR. STARTED CAR UP AND THE SAME SET OF WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON DROVE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS 1 BLOCK AWAY. BRAKING WAS HARD, BUT COULD BRING CAR TO A STOP DEALER SAID BRAKE COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL / WARRANTY COVERAGE FROM TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP THUS IMPEDING MY VISION WHEN I DRIVE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS MODELS SINCE 2007. UNFORTUNATELY THEY REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE VISOR AND WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT. THEY SAID IT WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRY. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 17,2015 @ 3:35PM WE A SEMI TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND END UP ATTACHING ME TO ITS TRAILER. MY ENTIRE FRONT END IS DAMAGE AND DRIVER REAR SIDE THE DRIVER DOOR AND AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER DOOR. I HAD THIS VECHILE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. NEITHER ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THIS VECHILE. *JS

2011 CAMRY LE - THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR MINIMALLY RESPONDS, SLOWLY MOVING AND THEN SUDDENLY GOING AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IF I DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE OFF EVER STOP SIGN/STOP LIGHT IT WOULD DO ALRIGHT BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO STOMP IT OFF THE LIGHT AND I DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY. AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP AND TOYOTA DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT! ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 70-75 AND LETTING OFF THE GAS THE CAR HAS A SHUDDER WHICH IS UNSETTLING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY....SOMETIMES I EXPECT THE ENGINE TO DIE OR THE TRANSMISSION FALL OUT. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, SERVICE DEPT ETC WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD BE THE FIRST THING BUT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THAT!! THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED MY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR??? (WHY?), SYNCED MY COMPUTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT COULD BE A "COMPUTER" ISSUE MUCH LIKE THE OLD COROLLAS AND I JUST NEED TO GET USE TO IT. I'M DONE WITH TOYOTA, THIS IS MY SECOND ONE AND BOTH OF THEM HAD ISSUES THAT WERE NEVER RESOLVED! *JS

WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT WITH COLD ENGINE, STOPPING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, CARS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN LEAVING INTERSECTION, ACCELERATING THE ENGINE, THE CAR WILL CREEP VERY SLOWLY FOR ABOUT 50 FEET OR SO, THEN SEEMS TO SLOWLY ENGAGE AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD. AFTER CAR IS WARM, IT SEEMS TO RUN FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS OBVIOUSLY IRRITATES CARS BEHIND ME, BUT EVEN MORE SO, CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING ON TODAY'S HIGHWAYS IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH. I'D HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN, IF I SHOULD EVER NEED ACCELERATION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IN THE MAKING??? *TR

VEHICLE 2 WAS STOPPED FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. VEHICLE 1 (THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID) DRIVER PRESSED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THE CAR DID NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE BRAKING. THE TIRES DID NOT SKID, THE ABS BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR DID NOT SEEM TO SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT SEEMED TO GLIDE INTO THE REAR END OF VEHICLE 2. THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF 3 CAR LENGTHS AT 35 MPH SHOULD NOT HAVE RESULTED IN THIS TYPE OF COLLISION - VEHICLE 1 WAS TOTALED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

INCIDENT ON DECEMBER 31, 2014 ABOUT 11:30 AM IN WAYNE, PA: AT AN INTERSECTION AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN WHERE A CAR WAS ALREADY STOPPED, I APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE CAR FAILED TO STOP AND INSTEAD LURCHED FORWARD AND THE ENGINE INCREASED. THE NOISE WAS NOT OF THE BRAKES BUT OF THE ENGINE ROARING. AS THE CAR SURGED FORWARD,I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKES AND THEN REAPPLIED THEM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. AGAIN THE CAR DID NOT STOP BUT DID SLOW DOWN. THE THIRD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES DID STOP THE CAR JUST INCHES FROM THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. THE NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JANUARY 13, 2015 WHEN THE SAME EXPERIENCE OCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO PERUZZI TOYOTA. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ON JANUARY 15, I TOOK THE UNSAFE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. ON JANUARY 16 AFTER COMPLETING WHAT THEY CALLED THE PROTOCOL FOR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THEY "RELEASED THE CAR" BACK TO ME HAVING NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY AND GAVE ME THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER PHONE NUMBER TO CALL. I CALLED THAT NUMBER AND WAS TOLD A CASE MANAGER WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN FOUR DAYS. MEANWHILE, I AM LEFT WITH AN UNSAFE CAR AND NO RECOURSE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM AND ENTRANCE RAMP DURING RAINY WEATHER AND AS I TURN THE WHEEL THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE CONTROL AND THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AS I SLIDE SIDEWAYS OFF THE RAMP. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE STEERING PROBLEMS IT HAS THAT CAN'T BE FIXED, ALSO ON DRY GROUND THIS CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN ITS LANE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT MY CAR ISN'T INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE ISSUE REPORTED. *TR

A POPPING, KNOCKING, SNAPPING NOISE IS LOUD, EVIDENT, PERSISTENT, AND DISCERNING. THE NOISE CAUSES CONCERN OVER THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN AN IMPACT. THE FEELING IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH RIGIDITY TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT PASSENGERS IN A CRASH. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. TOYOTA UPDATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0088-12 ON 06/13/2012. IT IS TITLED MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE NOISE. APPLICABLE TO 2007 - 2011 CAMRY AND CAMRY HYBRIDS. IN THE INTRODUCTION TOYOTA STATES: SOME 2007 -2011 NORTH AMERICAN PRODUCED CAMRY AND CAMRY HV VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FORM THE MOON ROOF AREA WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBES THE DIS-ASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE MOON ROOF STRUCTURE AND HEADLINER. TORQUING NUTS AND BOLTS TO SPECIFICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF REINFORCEMENT IS DESCRIBED. FROM THE TEXT PROCEDURE 2 #5. LOOSEN THE 8 MOON ROOF REINFORCEMENT TO MOON ROOF HOUSING BOLTS. #6. REMOVE THE 8 MOON ROOF REINFORCEMENT TO BODY STRUCTURE BOLTS. #7. REMOVE THE 8 NUTS AND THE MOON ROOF HOUSING SUB-ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE TO BE A DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AFFECTING THE VEHICLES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. IN FACT, THE TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN DESCRIBES IT AS SUCH. SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0088-12 CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET. MY GOAL IS FOR THE NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON 2007 - 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY AND CAMRY HV VEHICLES. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO DO THIS AS WARRANTY WORK ON 2 OCCASIONS. *TR

I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND MY DEALER HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME AND I WAS UNAWARE OF THE LOAD ISSUE. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS - JONES JUNCTION IN BEL AIR, MD IS THE DEALER. I HAVE A 2011 CAMRY LE. SOUTHEAST TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 AND 2010-2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA, 2010-2012 RAV4, 2012 TOYOTA SEQUOIA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA COROLLA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY AND CAMRY HYBRID, 2010-2013 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND HIGHLANDER HYBRID, 2010-2013 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER, 2011 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER, 2010-2013 TOYOTA VENZA, 2010-2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER, 2010-2013 TOYOTA TACOMA, 2011-2012 TOYOTA SIENNA, 2012 TOYOTA PRIUS, 2013 SCION FR-S, 2011 SCION XD, 2011 SCION XB, AND 2012 SCION TC VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES WERE SOLD WITH LABELS THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE ALLOWABLE ONE PERCENT OF ACCURACY OF ACTUAL WEIGHT ADDED. THUS, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." *JS

I CANT KEEP THIS CAR IN ITS LANE, IT VEERS TO THE LEFT AT ALL SPEEDS AND EVEN WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE AN ALIGNMENT AND PULLS THE DRIVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. *TR

ALLOY WHEELS ARE PREMATURELY CORRODING. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR AT 41 MPH (THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT I HAD A BLACK-OUT, DOCS ARE STILL EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE). THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND HAVE LOTS OF SORENESS AND BRUISING ON MY CHEST, AND SEVERE MEMORY LOSS AROUND THE INCIDENT. MY GARMIN DASH-CAM WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME, RECORDING THE DATE, TIME, LOCATION, GPS COORDINATES, AND SPEED IN MPH AT CRASH TIME. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING WHEN I REAR-ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE AND THE CAMRY I WAS DRIVING SUSTAINED MASSIVE DAMAGE. THE CABIN HELD UP WELL, BUT NO AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED, INCLUDING THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME. CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT RIGHT? *TR

TOYOTA UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING PARKING LOT, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SLOWING DOWN TO PARK PERPENDICULAR TO THE CURB. THE ENGINE RACED. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, RAN OVER FOUR FEET OF MULCH AND LOOM AND CRASHED INTO A STOCKADE FENCE. FOURTEEN DAYS LATER ON JULY 23 RD, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAMRY LURCHED FORWARD CAUSING $8,362.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. AGAIN ANOTHER SECTION OF THE FENCE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPORT PRE-CRASH DATA SHOWED THAT IN 1.9 SECONDS THE CAMRY WENT FROM 2.5 MPH TO 17.5 MPH. THE ENGINE WENT FROM 400 TO 4000 RPM. IT ALSO SHOWED THAT THERE WAS NO PRESSURE ON THE CAR ACCELERATOR.

WED AM, NOV. 12, 2014, I PARKED MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4CYL IN AN AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE. WEATHER WAS 31 F. WHEN I RETURNED FROM MY TRIP THE NEXT EVENING, I STARTED THE CAR, ORGANIZED SOME THINGS FOR A MINUTE TO ALLOW CAR HEATER TO WARM THE VEHICLE WHILE I SAT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20S F. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH SO I PRESSED A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR FAILED TO GO FASTER. AFTER SLOWLY BACKING OUT FAR ENOUGH, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. DESPITE REACHING 2500+ RPM, THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 0 (ZERO) MPH. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND PULLED, VERY SLOWLY, TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GARAGE LANE, SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE VEHICLE TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO REV ENGINE FOR 1 TO 2 MINUTES. ONLY AFTER REVVING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES DID THE CAR BEGIN TO SLOWLY RESPOND. THIS FLAW IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AND COULD ENDANGER LIVE(S). IMAGINE IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN, AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY ROADWAY. IF MY 2011 CAMRY'S FUEL INJECTOR FAILS TO RESPOND AS EXPECTED, THEREBY RESPONDING SLOWLY TO ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN I ENVISION THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING IN A HORRIFIC SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. I WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. WINTER IS JUST BEGINNING, AND COLD STARTS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE COMMON (LIKELY IN MUCH COLDER TEMPS). I DON'T BELIEVE MODERN VEHICLES, WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, SHOULD HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE, OR REQUIRE MUCH WARM-UP TIME. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 HYBRID MODEL, I HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ROOF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE MOON ROOF. IT IS MOST PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING ON THE UNEVEN STREET PAVEMENT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE HEADLINER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST ABOUT $600. THIS CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HARDLY USED THE MOON ROOF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPORTED. *TR

DASH LIGHT INTENSITY CHANGES FROM VERY BRIGHT TO VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING, DEALER STATES THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO ON MY PHONE TO SHOW THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING, THE RESPONSE IS...... YES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WE CAN'T FIX IF WE CANT DUPLICATE? *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE IN A SCHOOL ZONE, ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH. NO OTHER CARS WERE NEAR ME. THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT THE CURB. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS, I HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT I DID NOT. SINCE IT WAS NOT FAR, I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO POHANKA TOYOTA WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE IT SERVICED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB, BEARING AND SHOCK ABSORBER. ...UPDATED 10/22/14 *BF

ON THE ABOVE DATE, AS I PREPARED TO PARK AT THE DOLLAR GENERAL STORE, 200 BRUSH CREEK HWY, ALEXANDRIA, TN 37012, THE VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB WENT DOWN IN A DITCH AND COLLIDED WITH A PARKED CHURCH BUS. THE ACCELERATOR ON THIS VEHICLE STUCK AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATOR AT THE TIME OF THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

A RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE WAS INTERMITTENTLY BEING HEARD FROM THE BACK END DURING BRAKING AND, AT TIMES, DURING ACCELERATION. AFTER CONTACTING AN EMPLOYEE AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAMRYS AND THAT MOST LIKELY MY BRAKE PADS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, I WAS SHOWN ON MY BRAKES WHERE THEY HAD BECOME STUCK AND THE ROTORS NEEDED REPAIR AS WELL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THEN PERHAPS TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THE CAR REQUIRES ALMOST CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT IN THE STEERING TO MAINTAIN IT WITHIN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK SECURELY WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. AS A RESULT IT IS FATIGUING TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CORRECT FROM RIGHT TO LEFT AND BACK AGAIN LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TOYOTA REP AND DEALER MECHANICS CLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ELECTRONIC VARIABLE ASSIST POWER STEERING IS NOT DECREASING WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT TRACK SECURELY WITHIN IT'S LANE. THERE ARE NO TIRE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. TOYOTA IS PRETENDING THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND HOPING I WILL GO AWAY. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH MY TWIN 2YRS OLD DAUGHTERS WHEN I HEARD A SOUND; I LOOKED ONLY TO SEE THAT ONE OF THE BABY PULL THE GEAR STICK OUT OF PARK, INTO DRIVE AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET! I KNEW THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I CALLED DARCARS TOYOTA, AND THE MANAGER [XXX] TOLD ME "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT THE "GEAR BOX IS BAD", I NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN SO THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON 10/03/2014 AT ABOUT 7:10AM, AND LEFT THE LOT AT ABOUT 9:30AM AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE HORRIBLE SERVICE BOTH FROM THE MANAGER [XXX] AND THE REP. "[XXX]" I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW; WHICH IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR STICK! I MAY BE THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THIS IS WHY WITH ALL THE RECALLS, IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THESE PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR DEFAULTED VEHICLES!!

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND AND CAME OFF. TOYOTA ADVISES SO MANY ARE ON BACK ORDER THAT THEY CANNOT GIVE ME AN ETA. THEY ARE REPLACING FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING TODAY FACING THE WEST WITH NO SUN VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY ROAD. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN THE SUN SUDDENLY HIT ME IN THE FACE, NOT ONCE OR TWICE BUT NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CROSS THE CENTER LINE OR HIT AN EMBANKMENT OR DITCH.

THANK GOODNESS, THE CARS I WAS MEETING PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LET ME ZOOM THRU. I PROBABLY TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS FOR ME TO STOP. AS I STARTED AROUND THE OTHER CARS I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST MY CAR WENT??? MY CAR LEFT NO SKID MARKS, I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO MY TOYOTA DEALER WHICH I DID A WEEK OR SO LATER AFTER READING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER TOYOTA DRIVERS.

CURRENTLY MY CAR IS SHIFTING HARD ON TAKE OFF AND DECREASING SPEED TO STOP. TOYOTA HAS REALLY GONE DOWN. I TRADED A 2000 CAMRY XLE THAT WAS BETTER THAN THIS NEWER MODEL. *JS

THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, THOUGH I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL GENTLY, ALSO ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION A LOUD THUMPING SOUND HAS BEEN HEARD COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN AND IS IN PROCESS OF DOWNSHIFTING AROUND 20MPH. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP. I LEARNED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLIES ON CERTAIN 2007 - 2011 CAMRY VEHICLES. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST TOYOTA SINCE MY CAR YEAR MODEL FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR MODELS AFFECTED, AND CLEARLY I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISOR NOT STAYING UP. *TR

THE SUN VISOR STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND WOULD NOT STAY UP OR WOULD NOT STAY WHERE I PUT IT AND WOULD AFFECT MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. ULTIMATELY, THE VISOR BECAME DETACHED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA. MY VEHICLE (A 2011 CAMRY) IS NOT WITHIN THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" COVERAGE THAT TOYOTA HAS IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT TOYOTA KNOWS THE SUN VISOR IS A PROBLEM, HAS RECALLED SOME VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE OTHER VEHICLES--MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THOSE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, NO LESS--THAT ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU CAN "ENCOURAGE" OR FORCE TOYOTA TO EXTEND THEIR "EXTENDED WARRANTY"/SUN VISOR RECALL TO OTHER VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. AS IT IS NOW, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, AND THIS WILL BE A HARDSHIP AS MY FAMILY IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 22 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SUN VISORS THAT COME DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY AND BLOCK VIEW OF THE ROAD. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED! I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVE SIDE WENT INTO THE DOWN POSITION AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK UP IT WOULD NOT STAY. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE ENTIRE VISOR FELL OFF. NOT LONG AFTER THE THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES. STILL WAITING TO HEAR IF MINES IS ONE OF THEM. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHEN MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I HIT THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY TO STOP THE CAR'S FORWARD ACCELERATION TO AVOID HITTING A TREE. THE BRAKE STOPPED THE FORWARD MOTION OF THE WHEELS WITH THE CAR BODY LURCHING FORWARD. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON ROUTE 78 WEST NEAR BETHLEHEM PA THE OIL LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A GM DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC SAID THE OIL WAS LEAKING OUT THE OIL FILTER AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. NOW THE ENGINE IS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND WHEN IT IS STARTING AND OTHER SOUNDS. I'M AFRAID THAT WE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED THE ENGINE OR THE CAR. WE HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT ON THE CAR LOAN. THE OIL AND FILTER WERE REPLACED 32,012 AT SEARS. I HAVE SAVED THE FAILED OIL FILTER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WEST ON FLAMINGO JUST PAST THE 95 EXIT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE, WAITING FOR CLEARANCE TO GET INTO THE TURN LANE.

I HAD DEALER CHECK IT OUT -- PLUS A PREVIOUS INCIDENT ON SEPT 24, 2012 AS WELL AS ANOTHER ONE ON NOVEMBER 6, 2012. TOYOTA DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. *JS

PURCHASED VEHICLE SEPT 2013 WITH APPROX 44,000 MILES ON IT. AROUND APRIL 2014 STARTED TO HEAR SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE INSIDE THE CAR. SOUNDED METALLIC. IT WAS DUE FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES SO I TOOK IT IN. MENTIONED THE KNOCKING METALLIC SOUND AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOONROOF. I COULDN'T QUITE FIGURE HOW THEY KNOW THAT SO SOON BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE IT THAT DAY ALL DAY, JUST FOR THE SERVICE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY THE MOONROOF. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO IT COST ME $248 TO FIX. WHEN I CAME HOME I LOOKED IT UP ON THE TOYOTA FORUM AND, BINGO, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS. SO THAT'S WHY THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS RIGHT AWAY. THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE WITH THE SAFER.GOV SITE. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THE SUN VISORS. FIRST THEY STARTED TO HANG LOW WOULDN'T STAY UP. ONE DAY ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY, THEY JUST COMPLETELY FELL. I HAD TO HOLD THEM UP THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING. THEY KEPT BLOCKING MY VIEW AND THEY WERE DISTRACTING AND A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX THEM CAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER COVER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

VEHICLE STRUCK HEAD ON. NO DEPLOYMENT OF ANY AIRBAGS. NO SEATBELT RETENSION. VEHICLE TOTALED. *TR

A RATTLE OR POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF ABOVE FRONT/REAR PASSENGER SEAT. A LOUD CREAKING SOUND ALL THE TIME HEARD SINCE WINTER IS PRESENT WHEN MAKING TURNS OR JUST HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC SHIMS/ OR DIFFERENT KITS WERE NEEDED AND THE LABOR WAS OUTRAGEOUS FOR CUSTOMER PAY. THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY IS RIDICULOUS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL 2007 -UP TOYOTA CAMRY'S. TSB'S ARE ONLINE. IF YOU GOOGLE MOONROOF POPPING OR RATTLING ON 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, YOU'LL FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING WITH THEIR MOONROOF. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER SPEND THOUSANDS TO FIX A STRUCTURAL ISSUE? I HEARD WORST CASE SCENARIO IS TOTAL REMOVAL OF MOONROOF WITH NO GUARANTEES TO FIX ON MY TAB. CAR IS BARELY OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *JS

DURING WINTER PERIOD BELOW 30 DEGREES F IT IS NECESSARY TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS AS IF THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLYING PROPERLY. THIS RESULTED IN SNOWY CONDITION THE CAR SLID AND RESULTED IN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN COLD WEATHER. *TR

VEHICLE NEEDS EXCESSIVE DRIVER INPUT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO KEEP CAR IN ITS LANE. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, ON ALL ROADS AND ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS, AS LONG AS IT IS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM LEAVING ITS LANE, DRIVER MUST MAKE SWIFT, ALTERNATING STEERING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND GIVEN A TEST DRIVE AND "INSPECTION".

NEW BRAKES WERE PUT ON MY CAR ON 11/23/13. A SHORT TIME LATER, I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. UPON DOING SO THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN AND WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAKS THEY WOULD NOT WORK. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, I MADE A SHARP RIGHT 90 DEGREE TURN TO AVOID GOING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE ROAD WAS NOT WET BUT IT HAD RAINED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. I RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE SITUATION AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN IF THE ROAD IS DRY ONCE IT RAINS, THE ROAD CAN STILL HAVE PARTICLES ON IT THAT CAUSE THE ABS TO KICK IN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. IN THE PAST MONTH, IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY FEW DAYS. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN LATE FEB. AND HE WENT OVER A VERY SMALL PILE OF LEAVES THAT WOULD NOT WARRANT THE ABS TO KICK IN. HE TOO WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A WRECK. CAR WENT BACK TO DEALER BUT DEALER CAN FIND WHAT WAS WRONG. THE ABS SEVERELY REACTS WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. THE ABS IS ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING SO. IF ONE GOES OVER A ROAD THAT IS BARELY WET OR A SMALL PATCH OF DRIVE LEAVES, AS I DID THE OTHER NIGHT, THE ABS KICKS IN AND LOCKS UP THE CAR. WHEN I TOUCH ON THE BREAKS LIGHTLY COMING TO A STOP, THERE ARE NO BREAKS AND THEN THEY SUDDENLY GRAB REALLY HARD. BREAKS FEEL LIKE AIR IS IN THE LINE. THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THEY PUT NEW BREAKS IN MY CAR AT 30,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS WHINING, SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING IT AT LEAST UNTIL THIS COMING WED. WHEN A TOYOTA FIELD INSPECTOR WILL BE COMING TO INSPECT THE CAR. *TR

AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED IN FRONT END COLLISION. *TR

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAME TIGHT. WITHIN A DAY, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WHILE DRIVING IT SIMPLY STARTED DANGLING AND HAD TO BE PULLED OFF. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER HOW THEY WILL CORRECT THIS. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEBSITE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM. IF A TSB DOES NOT EXIST, IT SHOULD BE SENT BY TOYOTA TO DEALERS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ABS INDICATOR AND SLIP INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR/STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 3400.00. I ONLY HAVE 21000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE OTHER 2011 CAMRY'S WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STRONG, LOUD, PERSISTENT KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF ROOF WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THIS NOISE IS THE FRAME POPPING FROM TWO PARTS OF THE FRAME COMING INTO CONTACT, FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD BY DEALER. THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY AND THE TSB WAS FOUND AND WORK COMPLETED. IT BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK AFTER THE SERVICE. I HAVE SCHEDULED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN, BUT HAVE HESITATED DUE TO THE CONDITION I RECEIVED MY CAR AFTER SERVICE LAST TIME. THE LINER AND BODY COVERS DO NOT GO BACK ON RIGHT AND THE CAR DID NOT LOOK NEW ANY LONGER WHEN I RECEIVED IT BACK. THE PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSED BY WELDING SLAG ON THE FRAME RUBBING TOGETHER, AND BAD WELDS ON THE CAR'S BODY. THIS IS NOT WHAT SOMEONE WANTS TO HEAR WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR. *TR

THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FALLS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF LIFE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. TOYOTA HAS RECALLED SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT ONLY ONES WITH A CERTAIN VIN NUMBER. MINE IS NOT COVERED AND NO NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA. THE REPAIR OF THIS I AM ON MY OWN! I SHOULD OF BEEN CONTACTED BY TOYOTA AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED! I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR NEAR ACCIDENTS THERE HAS BEEN? IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! *TR

TRAVELING ON A STATE ROAD DURING A SLIGHT SNOW EVENT. THE ROAD WAS PARTIALLY SNOW COVERED BUT TREATED AND NOT OVERLY SLIPPERY. THE CAR SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL. DURING THIS TIME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE MAKING THE CAR UNRESPONSIVE TO ATTEMPTS TO STEER THE CAR. HIT A FENCE DOING MINOR DAMAGE TO CAR AND FENCE. AFTER THE CRASH DROVE THE CAR AT A LOW SPEED TO HOME. CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON ROAD AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUALLY. AT HOME ONCE THE CAR WAS PLACED ON DRY GARAGE FLOOR AND BACKED UP IT MADE A LOUD THUD NOISE AND THEN SEEMED TO RESPOND NORMALLY. THIS LASTED ONLY FOR TWO TENTHS OF MILE THEN LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND CAR CONTROL BECAME ERRATIC AGAIN. PUT BACK IN GARAGE AWAITING FOR INSURANCE ADJUSTER. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN RD WENT TO BRAKE WOULDN'T STOP STEERING THREW US IN A DITCH-FIELD HIT A SIGN STILL COULD NOT STOP. *TR

ON THE WAY TO WORK DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN AND MADE ME JUMP AND HIT MY FOREHEAD ON IT. NOW IT WILL NOT GO BACK IN TO PLACE, JUST FLOPS AROUND. SEEMS SOMETHING INSIDE SPLIT APART ON THE TOP BY THE ARM HOLDING IT. STARTLED ME AND IT WAS A PAIN ALL THE WAY IN. HAD TO HOLD IT UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE GOOD. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER (AFTER READING INFO ONLINE) TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I READ ABOUT AND HE LAUGHED. NEVER OFFERED TO CHECK, JUST SAID HE WAS NOT SURPRISED AND THAT I WAS NOT ALONE AND THAT EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A BROKEN ONE. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EXTENSION. THEY WERE VERY NICE BUT COULD NOT ANSWER WHY ONLY SOME WERE AND SOME WEREN'T EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE SAME ONGOING PROBLEMS. GUESS THOSE OF US NOT COVERED WILL HAVE TO FIX AT OUR OWN EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SOME CARS MADE THE SAME YEAR ARE COVERED. INTERESTING WAY TO DO BUSINESS... *TR

HAVE A 2011 CAMRY 4CY WITH 6SP AT. THE CAR TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AND CAR RPM SUDDENLY GOES AROUND 3K IN STOP A GO DRIVING. WHILE COMING TO STOP THE CAR RELEASE THE GEAR AT VERY LATE WHILE ALMOST STOPPED. FEELS LIKE IT WILL JERK AND HIT OTHER CAR. ON COLD START THE CAR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT LIKE TO MOVE(UNLESS YOU WARM UP THE ENGINE WHICH TAKES 15MIN IDLING. THEN I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS CARE PASS EPE POLLUTION STANDARD ). SO WHILE GETTING INTO ROAD THE CAR NEEDS HIGH REVVING TO MOVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY ITS BEHAVING NORMAL AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY GIVE THE SAME "NORMAL" ANSWER. FILED A COMPLAIN TO TOYOTA. THEIR EXPLANATION IS FIELD TECHNICIAN (TOYOTA DEALER) SAID ITS NORMAL AND NO ISSUE SO ITS NORMAL. AS A OWNER OF SUCH VEHICLE I PERSONALLY THINK THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVE ABNORMAL AND UNSAFE. ALSO THE CAR HAS A WHINING NOISE MOST NOTICEABLE AROUND 2-2.5K RPM. 1 ST DEALER SAID ALL CAMRY OF THIS MODEL MAKES SUCH NOISE. 2ND DEALER SAID ITS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND MAKE SURE TOYOTA IS NOT TRYING TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL DEFECT WHICH WILL CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVER SUN VISOR BROKE OFF. I WENT TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED THE DAY AFTER IT FELL AND WAS THERE FOR OVER AN 1 HR. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND I PAID $90.99 FOR THE PART AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR 3 TO 6 WEEKS. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICES AND AFTER BEING ON THE LINE FOR ONE HOUR, TOYOTA WILL REIMBURSE THE PART; BUT NOT THE LABOR; WHICH WILL BE OVER $30.00. THE REIMBURSEMENT WILL ALSO TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS. I LOOKED ON YOUTUBE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS AFFECTING SEVERAL TOYOTA CAMRY'S SINCE 2007; MINE IS A 2011. I WAS TOLD SINCE THIS ITEM IS NOT IN A RECALL I WON'T BE REIMBURSED COMPLETELY. PLEASE ORDER THEM TO FIX THIS DEFECT. *TR

THE BRAKES WERE MAKING NOISE. TOOK IN THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE REAR BRAKES WERE HANGING UP. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PADS WERE DISCOLORED. THE RIGHT REAR CALIPERS HAD BLACK MATERIAL ON THE INSIDE NEXT TO THE PADS. THE PADS AND CALIPERS ON BOTH REAR TIRES WERE REPLACED. YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED. *JS

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE PUTTING GREEN AT MY CONDOMINIUM. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB, AND HIT A CONCRETE BENCH PLACED AT THE EDGE OF THE GREEN. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFUL IT DESTROYED THE BENCH, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE JACKED UP TO GET IT OFF A LARGE PIECE OF CONCRETE. THANK GOODNESS THE GOLFER WAS NOT CLOSE TO THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED FOR $2,410.58 IN DAMAGES. BEING AFRAID THAT THIS "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" WOULD OCCUR AGAIN, I TRADED THE CAR IN FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND. BECAUSE OF "FRAME DAMAGE" (WHICH GOES TO SHOW THE FORCE AND SPEED OF IMPACT), I ONLY RECEIVED $10,000 FOR MY TRADE-IN INSTEAD OF THE $14,000 BLUE BOOK/EDMUNDS/NADA VALUE.

I WAS JUST LEAVING WORK AND WHEN I WENT TO GO START MY CAR AS USUAL AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT CRAZY AND CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE. MY RADIO WAS BLARING VERY LOUD AND I NEVER HAD IT ON TO BEGIN WITH! I'VE ALWAYS HEARD TOYOTA HAD SOME REALLY GOOD VEHICLES I HOPE THIS WAS JUST A ONE TIME DEAL AND I CAN GET IT FIXED SOON! OTHER THAN THAT GREAT CAR! *TR

ON 9/7/13, WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO ROUTE 80 IN NJ, I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK FLAT ON THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS NEXT TO ME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO USE THE SIDE OF MY FOOT TO POP IT BACK UP. IT PERFORMED NORMALLY AFTER THAT, THOUGH I DID NOT PUSH IT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. *TR

THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOOR PANELING IS DEFECTIVE. THE CLOTH ADHERING TO THE DOOR CUSHIONING IS PEELING OFF. WITHIN 1.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THE PASSENGER SIDE PEELED. WITHIN ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF THE DRIVER SIDE STARTED TO PEEL. *JB

MY SUNVISOR DOES NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY UP AND IS NOW BLOCKING MY DRIVING VISION. I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF THE REGULAR POSITION AND MOVE IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND APPLYING BRAKES THERE IS A STRONG PULSING AND VIBRATION IN THE CAR AND MAKES SLOWING DOWN UNSTABLE. BRAKES WERE JUST CHECKED AND ARE FINE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. SINCE CAR WAS NEW, THERE IS A LOUD KNOCK THAT DEALER SAYS IS ABS SYSTEM RESETTING WHEN YOU START CAR. ALSO TIRES WEAR OUT MUCH TOO FAST WHICH DEALER SAYS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAMRY SE DUE TO TUNING OF SUSPENSION, AS WELL HAS CAUSING RAPID WEARING OF BRAKE ROTORS. *TR

BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT AND FELT THICK. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TO TURN THE CORNER IT FELT SIMILAR, BUT NOT AS BAD. GOT HOME AND ASKED MY WIFE IF SHE NOTICED ANYTHING PREVIOUSLY AND SHE STATED NOW THAT I MENTIONED IT SHE DID, BUT DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME. DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS AND NO IMPROVEMENT WAS NOTICED. CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER AND SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 2013. THE MECHANIC AGREED IT WASN'T RIGHT, BUT THE BELT LOOKED GOOD AND THE FLUID WAS FULL WITH NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM. A CALL TO TECH. SUPPORT SERVICES HAD ME RETURN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS ON FRIDAY JUNE 28, 2013. METAL CONTAMINANTS WERE NOTICED INSIDE THE POWER STEERING PUMP. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THE RACK AND PINION AND POWER STEERING PUMP BE REPLACED. I AM WAITING FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE AND THE REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND MADE A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND RECALIBRATION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SECOND ALIGNMENT THE WITHIN A MONTH BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,700.

ON 6/20/2013, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT AAMCO. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME IN TO LOOK AT MY TIRES. HE SHOWED ME THE METAL SHOWING THROUGH MY TIRES, AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A TIRE ROTATION. ALTHOUGH AAMCO DOES NOT SELL TIRES, HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE MY CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE ASAP TO REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE. ON 6/22/2013, I TOOK MY CAR TO GOODYEAR TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A BAD LEAK IN THE STRUTS WHICH CAUSED THE WEAR ON MY TIRES. WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES ON MY CAR, THE GUY FROM GOODYEAR SAID THAT MY TIRES SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN DOWN THAT BADLY. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL TOYOTA TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS CONCERNING STRUTS WITH BAD LEAKS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE LEAKAGE WOULD CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM UNTIL THEY WERE REPLACED, AND THAT IF NOT REPLACED, I COULD COUNT ON ABNORMAL WEAR ON MY BRAND NEW TIRES, AS WELL. THEREFORE, I WILL BE CONTACTING TOYOTA SOON. I SAW OTHER POSTS ON THIS SITE CONCERNING PROBLEMS WITH STRUTS. SO, I DOUBT THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE GUY FROM GOODYEAR SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND I SHOULD AT LEAST TRY TO GET THEM TO REPAIR AT NO COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND WAS NOT REPAIRED OR INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

I WAS IN A LINE OF CARS IN THE TAKE-OUT LINE AT BURGER KING WAITING TO PLACE MY ORDER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE AND MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I PUT MY LEFT FOOT ALSO ON THE BRAKE, BUT WITH BOTH FEET AND ALL MY STRENGTH FELT THE CAR GOING FORWARD. SO AS NOT TO STRIKE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND PLOWED INTO THE CURB, WENT OVER THE CURB, HIT A LARGE BUSH TRUNK, THROUGH THE BUST, MULCH AND ANOTHER BUST. THE ENGINE RACED OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD NOT BE HELD BY THE BRAKE.

I EXPERIENCED A SITUATION WITH BRAKE NO RESPONSES AFTER I STEP BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES AND FELT LIKE CAR ACCELERATING ON MAY 19TH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON A HIGHWAY WITH CAMRY 2011. IT WAS RAINING AND THE DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT COULD HAPPEN??. THE DEALER CHECKED THE DATA AND LET A FIELD TECHNICIAN CHECKED, THEN TOLD ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PUMP THE BRAKE TO REDUCE SPEED, THE CAR SMARTLY LET THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED IN TO AVOID LOCKING THE WHEEL, WHICH IS THE REASON WHAT I WAS FEELING BRAKE DID NOT RESPONSE AND ACCELERATING. BUT I ACTED SO QUICKLY TO TURN THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY CURB TO AVOID CRASH INTO THE FRONT CAR, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS CHECK THE DEALER CONFIRMED WITH ME THE CAMRY FUNCTIONED NOTHING WRONG AND IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY RECALL REGARDING THE TOYOTA ACCELERATOR ISSUE! MAYBE IT IS TRUE, BUT AT LEAST THEY DID NOT CONVINCE ME WHY BRAKES SYSTEM DID NOT WORK ONCE ABS ENGAGED. I THINK THERE MUST BE A BUG IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE ABS SYSTEM CAUSING BRAKES NO PRESSURE NO RESPONSE AT ALL DURING THAT CRITICAL MOMENT. HOW DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG LIKE THAT IN MY CAMRY 2011 ?? *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS TOWARDS THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY FOR FAILING TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM THEY HAVE HAD WITH LEAKING STRUTS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA, I LEARNED THAT TOYOTA ENGINEERS HAVE DEEMED A SLIGHT LEAK OK AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND HAD TO REPLACE LEAKING SHOCKS AND STRUTS BECAUSE IT JUST GETS WORSE AND CAUSES TIRE WEAR WHICH IN MY OPINION WOULD LEAD TO A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS NOT MY INTENT TO BAD MOUTH TOYOTA, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TAKEN A CAREFREE APPROACH TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH CONCERNS ME. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED.

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BUCKED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF HER SON'S VEHICLE. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, INFORMED THE CONSUMER, MOST OF THE ACCIDENTS, WERE CAUSED MY THE FLOOR MATS. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD THICK MATS, THAT DID NOT GET CAUGHT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL.

HELLO THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WITH MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. YESTERDAY EVENING AT 7:30 PM I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO MY CAR. THE EDGE OF THE DRIVER SIDE CAR DOOR SLAMMED INTO MY HEAD AND PIERCED THROUGH IT. I HAD TO CALL 911 AND HAD TO GET 10 STITCHES ON MY FOREHEAD. ONCE I CAME BACK AND EXAMINED THE DOOR OF MY CAR WHAT I FOUND IS THAT THE EDGE OF CAR DOOR LOOKS LIKE SHARPENED KNIFE. THE RUBBER BEADING DOES NOT REACH TILL THE CORNER OF THE CAR DOOR (BOTH ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE).THE EDGE OF CAR DOOR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I CHECKED ANOTHER CAR AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THAT. THE RUBBER PADDING REACHES TILL THE CORNER FOR THAT CAR. *TR

2011 CAMRY WITH 27,373 MILES ENTERED TRAFFIC ON FWY AT 50+ MPH STARTED TO SHIMMY VIOLENTLY ENGULFING ME FROM ALL SIDES IT WAS IF CAR WAS POSSESSED. IN MY 61 YEARS I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THE RADIO CUT OUT I FELT PRESSURE WAVES AND NOISE THROUGHOUT THE CAR. I FOUND A GAS STATION JUST OFF FWY AND CHECKED THE TIRES SINCE THAT SEEMED THE LOGICAL CULPRIT, I FOUND NOTHING UNUSUAL. TO GET HOME I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT ANOTHER 20 FWY MILES KEEPING CAR AT OR UNDER 60. I ARRIVED AT DEALER AND WAITED 3 1/2 HOURS BEFORE BEING SHOWN POSSIBLE PROBLEM. ALL 4 TIRES HAD WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS "CUPPING," ON THE INSIDE RIM. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE ENTIRE CAR TURNING INTO A FREAK-SHOW LIKE NOTHING I EVER EXPERIENCED. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO CHARGE ME FOR 4 NEW TIRES AT RETAIL. MECHANIC SAID TIRES LOOKED GOOD AND HAD 20,000 PLUS MILES LEFT. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO REPLACE, (IN MY OPINION), DEFECTED TIRES. TIRES WERE NOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT IF THEY WERE THEN THE DEALERSHIP IS AT FAULT SINCE THEY DID IT. I EXAMINED ALL 4 TIRES IN THE BAY WHILE IT WAS JACKED UP, NO EXCESSIVE WEAR SHOWED. WHO DO I SEE THAT WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? THESE ARE BRIDGESTONE TIRES I THOUGHT WERE A SOLID BRAND. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FOUND SEVERAL. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF THOSE 4 TIRES DECIDED THE PRESSURE WAS TOO MUCH AND BLEW SIMULTANEOUSLY, PROBABLY A HIDEOUS DEATH!? WIFE DRIVES THE CAR IT HERS. SHE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. SHE CAN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR UNTIL VEHICLE IS WARMED UP AND EVEN THEN IT IS STIFF AND NOISY. ON A HILL THERE WAS NO GRAB IT WAS IF THE CAR HAD NO STOP IT LITERALLY TOOK BOTH FEET ONE ON BRAKE OTHER REVVING ENGINE TO KEEP FROM BACKING INTO A TRUCK. *TR

I WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE IMPACT BEING SIGNIFICANT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 OVER THE KENT NARROW BRIDGE IN MARYLAND WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRASH. I THEN HEARD THE SOUND OF WIND AND GLASS BREAKING. I LOOK UP AT MY SUNROOF AND SAW BROKEN GLASS AND A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUN ROOF. THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT, SO THERE WAS VERY LITTLE GLASS IN THE CAR. I DID NOT SEE ANY OBJECTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSE THIS OR ANY TRUCKS NEAR ME THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED ANYTHING. THANK GOD THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUT AND NO BROKEN GLASS CAME INTO THE CAR WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. TOYOTA IS BULKING AT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOK AT VERY CAREFULLY. I HAVE PICTURES IF NEEDED. *TR

FACTORY-INSTALLED TIRES WERE COMPLETELY AND DANGEROUSLY WORN THIN AT BELOW 24K MILES. TIRE AIR LEVELS ROUTINELY FELL BELOW NORMAL BUT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA OF DALLAS) FAILED TO NOTIFY AT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS OF TIRE WEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING ROUTINE SERVICE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE, HE WAS INFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THE FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THEY COULD POSSIBLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TR UPDATED 04/30/13*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA AVALON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 16,000.

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR THE STEERING HAS TROUBLE WITH NEEDING CONSTANT DRIVER INPUT TO STAY IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS MORE PROMINENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD TWO STEERING ADJUSTMENTS AND THE DEALER SAYS THE STEERING IS OK. THE CAR HAD BAD STEERING ADJUSTMENT SINCE DAY ONE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN WHEN GOING OVER HUMPS IN ROAD AND BODY WEIGHT WAS TRANSFERRED UP. YOU COULD FEEL THE THREADS FROM A BOLT WERE RUBBING ON A METAL PART. WITHIN A WEEK THE TRAVEL HAD MORE THAN DOUBLED AND WAS HAPPENING WHILE GETTING IN AND OUT. BROUGHT INTO DEALER FOR SAFETY CONCERN AND WARRANTY (CAR ONLY 2 1/2 YRS OLD) AND THEY SAID THEY PUSHED AND PULLED AND IT SNAPPED BACK INTO PLACE. I WAS THEN ADVISED THERE WAS A $58.50 CHARGE FOR AN "ADJUSTMENT". THE DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE THE CAR WITHOUT PAYMENT SO I SIGNED OFF AND PAID TO GET THE KEYS. I CALLED TOYOTA BUT THEY STATED THE DEALER WAS INDEPENDENT AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE THEM REIMBURSE ME. TOYOTA OFFERED ME A JACKET OR A DUFFEL BAG, WHICH I REFUSED. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A DIRT ROAD, GOING AROUND A CORNER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND WENT OFF THE ROAD AND SKIDDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 FT. THE VEHICLE THEN HIT A FEW SMALL STUMPS, STILL WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN, AND FINALLY SLAMMED INTO A LARGE TREE. THE IMPACT IN WHICH THE CAR HIT THE TREE WAS SO STRONG THAT THE BACK END OF THE CAR ROSE UP INTO THE AIR AND STAYED IN THAT VERTICAL POSITION. ONLY THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE STILL VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AFTER THE CAR SLAMMED INTO THE TREE AND STOPPED. IF THE TREE HADN'T BEEN HIT, THE CAR WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DOWN THE HILLSIDE INTO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE, ABOUT ANOTHER 40 FT. THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WAS SHOVED ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND HOOD WERE DESTROYED, THE BATTERY WAS CRUSHED AND LEAKING ACID EVERYWHERE AND WAS SITTING BEHIND THE FRONT TIRE AND THE HOOD WAS "V" SHAPED AND PUSHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS SO CLEARLY THE BRAKES WEREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY EITHER, ALSO THE SPEED IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE TREE SHOWS THAT THE ACCELERATION WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN. THE DRIVERS FACE SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BROKE HER NOSE AND RECEIVED A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. THE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE THAT THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS BUT STILL WE ARE LEFT WONDERING WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN WEARING HER SEATBELT, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW JUST HOW SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THIS IS. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY A VEHICLE WITH SUCH HIGH CRASH TEST RATINGS WOULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

EVERY MORNING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED UP AND BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE COLD, VEHICLE EXHIBITS A TRANSMISSION FLARE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR DURING NORMAL DRIVING BEHAVIOR WHILST THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED - EVEN IF ONLY SLIGHTLY. DURING THE INCIDENT, WHICH LASTS NO MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS, THE ENGINE "REVS" SIGNIFICANTLY (UP TO 2500-3000 RPM FROM 1000) AND THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO BE IN A "NEUTRAL" STATE, E.G. "SLIPPING" BETWEEN GEARS. THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKS AND SHIFTS VIOLENTLY WHILE DOWNSHIFTING WHEN COASTING OCCURS MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT DOES OCCUR SOMETIMES AT NEIGHBORHOOD SPEEDS. THE FORMER SAID ISSUE ONLY APPEARS DURING THE MORNING AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (I.E. COME HOME FROM WORK AND LEAVE NEXT MORNING), AND IS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED AT ANY OTHER TIME. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE LATTER SAID ISSUE OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS USED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE, BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WILL BE BROUGHT BACK FOR SERVICE ONCE AGAIN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO EARLIER PROBLEMS THE 2007 CAMRY EXPERIENCED (WHICH IS THE SAME GENERATION AS THE 2011 CAMRY) -- TO WHICH SEVERAL TSBS WERE ISSUED TO CORRECT THOSE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. THE CONTACT LATER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT ACTED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GENERATE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 17,200. ... UPDATED 02/27/13 *BF

THERE WAS A LOUD ENGINE RUNNING ALL OF SUDDEN AND THE CAR TOOK OFF BY ITSELF. IT WAS VERY QUICK SPURT OF ACCELERATION AND SLAMMING ON BRAKE DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE. THE CAR RAN OVER SIDE WALK AND RAMMED INTO THE SCHOOL FENCE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. IT WAS TOYOTA'S "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" DEFECT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

A VERY VERY BAD BURNING SMELL IS COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I SMELL IT EVERYTIME I GET OUT OF MY CAR. STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL SCENARIOS BUT THE MOST RECENT WAS AS FOLLOWS: I WAS DRIVING IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A THREE LANE DIVIDED STREET WITH TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TRAFFIC WAS FLUCTUATING BETWEEN "STOP & GO" AND APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I BEGAN ACCELERATING AT A RELATIVELY RAPID PACE WHEN A VEHICLE CUT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND BRAKED. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT FELT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE FROM THE PEDAL AND THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICED THAT AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT A HIGH RATE FROM THE ACCELERATION ATTEMPT. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM WHEREBY IF THE ENGINE IS REVVING THE BRAKE WILL FAIL EVEN IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NO LONGER BEING PRESSED. A VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL IS THAT EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN WITHIN THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF A QUICK ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A CRAWL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO STOP FROM A NORMAL SPEED. *TR

SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 I JUST HAPPENED TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TIRES (JUST BOUGHT A NEW TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE) WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ROUND ROCK TX AS DIRECTED BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR. HE INDICATED THAT THE TIRE WAS PINCHED OR HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THIS BULGE AND THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER ITS ORIGINAL WARRANTY. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FIRESTONE STORE NEXT DOOR AND SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD AND WOULD NOT REPLACE IT.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES..... WHILE DOING MOSTLY CITY DRIVING AND IN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES OF DRIVING, TRANSMISSION WILL NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN, THERE IS A WHINY NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH IT ALSO (NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE IN THE TOYOTA'S I HAVE OWNED). WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST DIE TO CONSERVE FUEL. WHEN YOU GO TO START BACK UP THE VEHICLE WILL DO THIS GEAR "CHECKING" PROCESS LEADING TO THE VEHICLE NOT MOVING AS IT SHOULD. ONCE IT FINDS THE CORRECT GEAR THE CAR WILL LUNGE VERY QUICKLY AND ALMOST CREATE REAR END COLLISIONS. I HAVE TWO INTERSECTIONS NEAR MY HOME THAT I AM AFRAID TO COME TO BECAUSE I HAVE TO FLOOR THE GAS AND STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SO THE CAR DOES NOT STALL AND SO THAT THE CAR WILL MAKE IT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT GETTING T-BONED. I ALMOST GOT T-BONED TWICE DUE TO THIS THE LAST HAPPENING ON 6-30-12. THIS ISSUE IS A 6-15 MPH ISSUE AND WHEN COLD MORE THAN WARMED UP. I READ THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT AN ISSUE BUT A LEARNING TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT TRIES TO LEARN OPERATORS. WITH 21,000 MILES A CAR SHOULD NOT BE LEARNING AND WHAT IF A DIFFERENT OPERATOR DRIVES IT? THE CAR WILL JERK ME AROUND WHILE ON MY 8 MILE JAUNT TO THE HIGHWAY IN THE MORNINGS. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS A NON-ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL BUT I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHER TERRIFIED TOYOTA 2011 AND 2010 CAMRY OWNERS THAT HAVE CALLED THEM AND SEVERAL HAVE CONTACTED YOUR ORGANIZATION. THERE IS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) 0287-10 OUT FOR THE LEARNING OF THIS TRANSMISSION BUT IT HAS NOT HELP MY SITUATION OR OTHERS FROM WHAT I READ.

EVERY TIME I RELEASE OR PUSH ACCELERATION MORE THAN 50 MILES CAR GETS PULSE.(EXAMPLE : GENERATOR MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD EVERY TIME PISTON GOES UP AND DOWN) I FELL LIKE ENGINE WILL DROP. REPRODUCE STEPS : DRIVE CAR AT ABOUT 60 MILES/HR ON GOOD ROAD SO YOU CAN FEEL PULSE. NOW WE WANT KEEP SPEED 60 MILES SO WE WILL PRESS PEDAL TO MAINTAIN SPEED NOW AS SOON AS YOU WILL REMOVE PEDAL YOU WILL FEEL PULSE. NOW, YOU REMOVED PEDAL SO SPEED GOING DOWN SO AS SOON AS YOU TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED YOU WILL FELL PULSE AGAIN. REPRODUCE RATE ABOUT 85%. I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE AUGUST 2011. I HAD PUT MY CAR AT TOYOTA DEALER MORE THAN 5 TIMES AND THEY ADMIT THAT THEY ARE NOT FEELING THIS PULSE. THAN I PUT CASE TO NCDS FOR REVIEW. BUT TOYOTA RESET MY COMPUTER RIGHT BEFORE INSPECTION SO NCDS PERSON DIDN'T TEST DRIVE AND REFUSE MY CASE. AT TIME OF CASE, ONE TECHNICIAN FROM CHICAGO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM IN SOME DIFFERENT DIRECTION LIKE THIS PULSE IS NORMAL(WHICH IS VERY SCARY). ITS DEPEND ON WHERE YOU DRIVING (ITS EASY TO REPRODUCE IN HWY, I ALSO FEEL IN CITY TO BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS CHANGING GEAR SO IT'S NORMAL) ITS DEPEND ON DRIVER( I TOLD HIM TO DRIVE AND FIX THIS ISSUE IF I AM NOT GOOD DRIVER). NOW THIS IS VERY SIMPLE ANSWER FOR TOYOTA TO GIVE YOU CUSTOMER AND REJECT CASE. ONCE THEY RESET COMPUTER OF MY CAR THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT TILL CAR COMPUTER LEARN DRIVER PATTERN. I WAIT 2MONTH , 1500 MILES. I ALSO ASK THEM THAT HOW LONG ? HOW MANY MILES ? BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S DEPEND ON DRIVER. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF ANYTHING WRING WE WILL HAPPY TO HELP IF ANYTHING WRONG IN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. I ALSO DECIDE TO GO COURT BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSPECT MY CAR AGAIN THEN THEY WILL ADMIT THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. SO, PLEASE HELP ME FOR THIS PROBLEM I SPEND 24000 DOLLAR. I DESERVER BETTER ANSWER THAN THIS ABOVE CRAZY ANSWER. *TR

MY CONCERN DOES NOT INVOLVE AN ACCIDENT. IT INVOLVES THE DRIVERS BLIND SPOT. UNABLE TO SEE VEHICLES IN BLIND SPOT. A DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

TRANSMISSION WHINES AT LOW SPEEDS, VERY ANNOYING. IT SLIPS BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR. DOWN SHIFTS ROUGH. SOMETHING BUMPS AROUND TRUNK WHEN TAKING OFF & STOPPING. DEALER TELLS ME THAT ALL THIS IS NORMAL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA EVER. MY ADVISE TO OTHERS, DON'T BUY 2011 CAMRY, YOU'LL BE SORRY. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR AROUND SEPTEMBER 15, 2011, I TEST DRIVEN ONE OF THEIR 2 CAMRY MODELS; XLE & SE. I WAS WITH A SALES GUY WHEN WE TEST DROVE IT. I DIDN'T GO REALLY FAST SO I DIDN'T REALIZE IF THERE WAS ANY LOUD WIND NOISE AND ALSO BECAUSE THE SALES GUY WAS TELLING ME THINGS. AFTER I GOT IT FOR ABOUT A WIND, I STARTED TO ACTUALLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND EVERYTIME, I GO ABOUT 50-80MPH, I WOULD HIT LOUD WIND NOISE COMING IT FOR SOMEWHERE. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO 4 DIFFERENT TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY AGREED WITH ME, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IS HOW IT WAS DESIGN, AND THAT I SHOULD JUST TURN THE RADIO UP LOUD AND FORGET ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX ON IT. I AM EXTREMELY PARANOID PERSON DUE TO POST PROBLEM WHEN I GOT INTO A BAD ACCIDENT, SO THAT IS WHY I DON'T USE MY RADIO OR EVEN IF I DID, WOULD TURN IT UP SO LOUD. I AM HOPING THAT YALL COULD TALK TO TOYOTA HQ AND GET IT FIX BECAUSE I MIGHT GO CRAZY SOON BECAUSE I AM SITTING HERE WAITING FOR A FIX, BUT I DON'T HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING ABOUT TOYOTA PLANNING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. AND JUST TO PROVE MY POINT AGAIN, I WENT TO GO TEST DRIVE THE NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY MODELS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. PLEASE, I NEED YOU HELP. THANK YOU!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 2 MPH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO TWO VEHICLES.

WE WERE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, AND WE WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE CAR BEHIND US GOING 65 ? 70 MPH NEVER STOPPED. SMASHED US FROM BEHIND AND PUSHED US INTO THE BACK OF A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY DO NO GO OFF ALL THE TIME. ISN'T WHAT THEY ARE FOR? THIS WAS AN IMPACT FROM THE BACK AND THE FRONT. WHEN I DID THE RESEARCH ON AIRBAGS, THEY ARE DESIGNED TO GO OF AT WHAT MPH. THE REASON THAT WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WAS FOR THE SAFETY RATINGS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME ANSWERS. ALL TOYOTA DOES IS MAKE EXCUSES. I LOVED MY CAR. 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR

1. DEFECTIVE CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA & ITS DEALER TO ME (CUSTOMER). ----------- 2. CAR WAS NOT TESTED BY TOYOTA/DEALER ON TIRES & VIBRATION/SHAKING BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMER. ----------- 3. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 4. BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE TIRES FITTED BY TOYOTA & NOT TESTED PROPERLY BY TOYOTA, DAMAGES HAPPENED ON THE OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR - SUSPENSION & STEERING SYSTEMS. ----------- 5. CUSTOMER - DRIVING SAFETY WAS ALSO PUT ON HUGE RISK, AS UNTESTED CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA. ----------- 6. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 7. BY HAVING THAT DEFECT IN TIRES, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR'S SUSPENSION, STRUTS & STEERING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDUCED, BECAUSE OF RUNNING WITH THIS VIBRATION & SHAKING. ----------- 8. WITH THIS EXISTING DEFECT IN CAR (IT WAS PRESENT BEFORE DELIVERY & COULDN'T BE FIXED BY TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER FOR 6-MONTHS), CUSTOMER'S COMFORT & DRIVING EXPERIENCE IS TOTALLY RUINED. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DAMAGE TO THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING DISCOMFORT & THE SAFETY RISK OF CUSTOMER'S LIFE (WHILE DRIVING THE SHAKING & VIBRATING CAR). ----------- 9. NOW, AS YOUR SUPERVISOR OFFERED "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS CAR. IT SHOWS THAT TOYOTA KNOW IT VERY WELL THAT CAR IS SO MUCH IMPACTED & NOW HAS SHORTEN THE LIFE SPAN OF CAR (BECAUSE OF THESE DAMAGED TIRES & IMPACTED PARTS IN THE CAR) SO TOYOTA IS ONLY OFFERING "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED SERVICE TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES / DEFECTS IN THEIR QUALITY. ============== - CAR'S SHAKING (VIBRATIONS AT BOTH - SLOW AND HIGHER SPEED), - IMPACTS/DAMAGES THE LIFE SPAN OF STEERING, SUSPENSION AND STRUTS, - TIRES NOT IN BALANCE (WHEEL BALANCING WAS NOT DONE BY TOYOTA). ============== *JS

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (4 CYL., XLE) A YEAR AGO: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SOMETIMES SLOWLY AFTER A PAUSE OR UNEXPECTEDLY AND ABRUPTLY AS IT SEARCHES FOR GEARS, AND IT RACES INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY AT START-UP; IT COASTS A FEW INCHES AFTER I PUT IT INTO PARK, EVEN ON LEVEL GROUND. POWER STEERING REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTION, EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD SURFACES. CRUISE CONTROL IS SLOW TO RESPOND TO ADJUSTMENTS FROM LEVER ON STEM. DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMS, AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS TO DIAGNOSE, THAT THE CAR PERFORMS AS DESIGNED, SO MY COMPLAINT WILL NEED TO BE WITH THE DESIGN. *JS

DROVE DOWN ROAD KEEPING A CONSTANT 40-45MPH. VEHICLE SUDDENLY REVS ENGINE WILDLY TO REDLINE. CAR SPEED INCREASES DRASTICALLY TO 65MPH FROM 40-45MPH. TOOK FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL AND ENGINE STILL ACCELERATED. MOMENTS LATER ENGINE WENT BACK TO NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION.

PULLING IN TO BALLGAME LAST NIGHT ON THE GRASSY AREA TO PARK CAR. FOOT ON THE BRAKE NOT ON THE GAS, CAR ACCELERATED SO HARD IT THREW MY HEAD BACK AGAINST THE HEAD REST, THANK GOD THERE WERE NO CHILDREN IN FRONT OF ME. TAKING CAR IN TO BE CHECKED. VERY UPSET BY THIS. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM IF THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NUMBEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR.

I AM REPORTING THE SAME SPEEDOMETER VARIANCES AS ORIGINALLY NOTED IN ODI CASE NUMBER: 10444688. MY SPEED REFLECTS 35 MPH ON MY SPEEDOMETER, WHEN IN FACT IT IS ONLY 33 MPH. ALSO, IF I AM GOING 55 - PER THE SPEEDOMETER, THE CAR IN FACT IS ONLY GOING 52 - 53 MPH. THIS DIFFERENCE IS CONSISTANT WITH AN ACTUAL SPEED BEING ABOUT 5% LESS THAN WHAT IT ACTUALLY DISPLAYS ON THE CAMEY'S SPEEDOMETER. I HAVE 'CHECKED' THE ACTUAL SPEED BY 1) A POLICE SPEED MONITORING SIGN/DISPLAY THAT IS PUT INTO VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO BOTH CHECK YOUR SPEED AND TO NOTIFIY YOU OF THAT ACTUAL SPEED IN THE HOPES THAT YOU WILL SLOW DOWN; AND 2) BY CHECKING MY TOMTOM GPS UNIT WHICH PROVIDES A TRUE READOUT OF MY ACTUAL SPEED MEASURED BY ITS 8 SATELITES IN THE SKY. IT LIKEWISE ALWAYS SHOWS A LOWER 'ACTUAL' READING THAN WHAT MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWS. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE THE 'INACURRACY' OF THE READ SPEED TO BE ON THE LOWER END OF THINGS - I.E., YOU ARE GOING SLOWER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE, THAN TO HAVE IT REVERSED - WHICH WOULD BE BOTH MORE UNSAFE AND CAUSE YOU TO GET SPEEDING TICKETS. HOWEVER, IN THIS DAY-AND-AGE, WITH 'DIGITIAL' INSTRUCTMENTS/CHIPS'; YOU WOULD THINK THAT 'MEASURING SPEED' CORRECTLY WOULD BE VERY SIMPLE TASK! ...MAKES YOU WONDER, IF THEY CAN'T DO THIS CORRECTLY - WHAT ELSE, OF A MORE SERIOUS NATURE, IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE JUMPED AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ABNORMAL ACCELERATION AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, YET THE ENGINE RPMS CONTINUED TO IDLE EXTREMELY HIGH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE SHOULDER AND NECK. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PAINT & AUTO BODY SHOP AND THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN ENGINEER TO INSPECT THE BLACK BOX. THE ENGINEER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 45 MPH WHEN IT CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL. THE ENGINEER DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND THAT THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE AUTO BODY SHOP REPLACED THE FRONT END BUMPER, STEERING CABLE AND THE RADIATOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,900. UPDATED 03/27/12*LJ UPDATED 06/25/12

I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE MALL IN POTTSVILLE, PA. I DROVE DOWN THE ROADWAY NEXT TO THE MALL TO THE STOP SIGN. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT THAT TIME. I PROCEEDED TO TURN TO THE LEFT OUT THE DRIVEWAY OF THE MALL. THE DRIVEWAY OF THE MALL IS PRETTY LONG AND ON A STEEP HILL. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AT THE TOP OF THE HILL. THERE WAS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. I DIDN'T WANT TO CONTINUE DOWN THE STEEP HILL KNOWING THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AND CRASH INTO THE VAN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL SO I DECIDED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT SHARPLY ON A DRIVE THAT CURVED AROUND TO A NEIGHBORING STORE NEXT TO THE MALL (GOING ALMOST BACK UPHILL AT THIS TIME). STILL NO BRAKES SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHAT IS EXTREMELY ODD IS THAT EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I TURNED SHARPLY AND GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HIT THE CURB TO STOP THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK OFF OF THE CURB. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HILL AGAIN. STILL NO BRAKES. I COULD FEEL THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES JUST DIDN'T WORK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE CURB AGAIN NEXT TO THE LANE I WAS IN. SO WHEN THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND THE LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HILL AND TURNED RIGHT ONTO RT 61 S. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED THE BRAKE AGAIN AND NOTHING. SO IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS OF COURSE CAUSED THE CAR TO SPIN BUT AT LEAST THE CAR STOPPED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN USED THE CLUTCH LESS SHIFTING TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND RETURNED HOME. TOYOTA HAS RETAINED AN INSPECTOR TO INSPECT THE CAR TODAY AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 2/27/12. *TR

CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR TIRE NOISE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY DUE TO MISALIGNMENT. SINCE THE DEALER DID AN ALIGNMENT IN APRIL I FELT THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE. AFTER COMPLAINING FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR THAT THIS WAS THE WORST TOYOTA I HAVE EVER BOUGHT (AND I HAVE HAD MANY). THE SERVICE MANAGER FINALLY RELENTED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AND DO A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT FREE OF CHARGE. THEY SAID IT WAS FOR "CUSTOMER RELATIONS". OR PERHAPS TO MAKE ME DISAPPEAR. IN ANY EVENT I WAS PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THIS ALIGNMENT HOLDS. *TR

THE DRIVER WAS IN PARKING LOT OF REHAB CENTER PICKING UP PATIENT AND SAYS THE CAR LOST CONTROL GOING 6 MILES PER HOUR RAN INTO THE REHAB CENTER INCURRING OVER $10,000 IN DAMAGES TO THE CAR NOT INCLUDING DAMAGES TO THE REHAB CENTER FRONT GLASS DOOR. THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY PURCHASED IN SEPTERMBER OF 2011 NEW FROM THE LOT AT MECHANICSVILLE VA TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WE CALLED THE TOYOTA MAIN OFFICE AND THEY SENT OUT A REPRESENTITIVE FOR INSPECTION OF THE CAR ON JANUARY 26TH OR 27TH 2012 PRIOR TO ANY WORK BEING DONE TO REPAIR THE CAR. WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA AS IT TAKES UP TO 30 DAYS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER FULL REPAIR FROM THE COLLISION. *TR

THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY CONSISTENT AMONG OTHER OWNERS IN FORUMS I HAVE REVIEWED. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE BY ALMOST 10%, WHEN DRIVING BY RADARS OR WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 35 MPH THE RADAR READS 32. DRIVING NEXT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE TO CHECK THE SPEEDOMETER, IT READS 70 MPH BUT THE OTHER VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER READS 64 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE INACCURACY BUT CLAIMS THE VARIANCE IS WITHIN THE SPEC OF 10%. PER THE DEALER AND IT'S EXPERTS THE SPEEDOMETER CANNOT BE CALIBRATED OR FIXED SINCE IT IS IN SPEC. *TT

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE HAVING HIS 25,000 MILE SERVICE CHECK-UP, THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THE TIRES WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR AND INDICATED THERE WAS TIRE CUPPING AS WELL, WHICH WAS DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT. *JB

AT LOW SPEED (15-39 MPH), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGHLY. THE CAR WAS EITHER PULLED BACK (1) BY THE ENGINE OR JUMPED (2,WHILE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL) DURING THE DOWN SHIFT. THE PULLING BACK (1) GIVES THE SAME EFFECT AS USING ENGINE BREAKING IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BASED ON THE SIGNS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON INTERSTATE, STATE LAWS (IN SOME STATES) PROHIBIT DRIVER TO USE ENGINE BREAKING. THE JUMPING (2) WAS VERY BAD. THE CAR NEEDED APPROXIMATELY 3-10 FEET MORE TO STOP DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABLE JUMPING BEHAVIOR. WELL 3-10 FEET DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A LOT BUT LET SAY IF YOU ARE 1 FOOT AWAY FROM RUNNING OVER A LIVING THING.......... THIS PROBLEM HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND THEY STILL BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 10-20 CARS (INCLUDING RENTALS) BUT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE JUMPING (2, WHILE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL) UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CAMRY. AFTER READING THE REVIEWS ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTIONS. *TR

CHANGE IN GEARS JERKY AND BETWEEN 20-40MPH THE CAR DRAGS DURING ACCELERATION IT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS TRYING TO PULL THE CAR BACK.WHEN IT FINALLY MOVES TO THE NEXT GEAR IT JUMPS INTO GEAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA MANY TIME AND AS USUAL ONCE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO CHECK NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA, I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN TOYOTA AND FINALLY DECIDED TO BUY A NEW CAR DUE TO TRAVELING TO WORK LONG DISTANCES AND GAVE MY DAUGHTER MY 1999 CAMRY WHICH I LIKE DRIVING BETTER THAN MY NEW ONE. I STUCK WITH TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE LET ME AND MANY MORE CONSUMERS DOWN , THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND FALSE ADVERTISE A SMOOTH RIDE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, LOST ENGINE POWER, PULLED OVER, SMOKE FROM UNDER HOOD-ELECTRICAL FIRE, CAR TOTALED. *KB

WHEN I TAKE OFF AND GET TO EXACTLY 25 MPH, I HEAR A THUMPING FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. SOUNDS LIKE THUMPING IS COMING FROM THE TIRE. IT ONLY HAPPENS UNTIL IT GETS TO 25 MPH. WHEN YOU GO PASSED 25 MPH IT STOPS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES AND THEY NEVER HEAR THE NOISE. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY GAS SWISHING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS A THUMPING, NOT A SWISHING. *KB

2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDED 90 DEGREES, IT TOOK THE A/C OVER 10 MINUTES TO COOL THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. *JB

SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW 2011 CAMRY THE CAR STARTED ACTING WEIRD. A CONSTANT PROBLEM THAT APPEAR A LOT OF TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING CONCERNS THE TRANSMISSION. AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME AND MY WIFE THE MOST IS THAT THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH WE BOTH PRESS THE GAS PEDAL REALLY GENTLY. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING IN THE CITY WHERE HEAVY TRAFFIC MIGHT BE PRESENT. THIS IS MAKING BOTH OF US VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ARE CONCERNED TO THE POINT THAT WE BOTH STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR UNLESS WE REALLY HAVE TO, WE RELY ON OUR SECOND CAR WHICH IS A BMW. ONE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH SLOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

MY VEHICLE AT BELOW 40 MPH, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, THOUGH I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL GENTLY. THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME DURING THE RUSH HOUR BECAUSE MY BOTH KIDS ARE IN THE BACK SEAT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. SOME ONE PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. IT REALLY BOTHERS ME AFTER SPENDING LOT ON MONEY ON THIS CAR, I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT SAFE AND ITS REALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND THE CITY WITH MY FAMILY THINKING ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE HOME DRIVEWAY OF THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. AS THE OWNER WAS TURNING INTO HIS DRIVEWAY, A TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AS THE DRIVER/OWNER HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE SIDE ROCK BARRIER OF THE DRIVEWAY. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA WHO INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. BUT ANOTHER INCIDENT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED INVOLVING THE CAR THIS YEAR WHICH WILL BE REPORTED ON A SEPARATE FORM WHICH SHOWS US THEIR IS AN UNSAFE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE THAT REQUIRES TOYOTA TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE HOME DRIVEWAY OF THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. AS THE OWNER WAS TURNING INTO HIS DRIVEWAY, A TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AS THE DRIVER/OWNER HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE SIDE ROCK BARRIER OF THE DRIVEWAY. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA WHO INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH VEHICLE. BUT ANOTHER INCIDENT HAS RECENTLY HAPPENED INVOLVING THE CAR THIS YEAR ON THE INCIDENT DATE LISTED ON THIS FORM. THE WIFE OF THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY OPERATING THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 TO PARK THE VEHICLE. AS THE CAR WAS TURNING TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY THE OPERATOR PRESSED ON THE BRAKE TO BACK THE VEHICLE BACK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LEAPED FORWARD HITTING THE AN EXTERIOR DOOR TO THEIR BASEMENT WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY THE ROCK THAT COVERS THEIR HOME. THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND THE OPERATOR SUSTAINED SOME INJURIES WHICH CAUSED HER TO VISIT THE HOSPITAL AND HAVE MEDICATION PRESCRIBED TO HER. THE IMPACT ON THIS SECOND ACCIDENT WAS SO SEVERE THAT IS SHOWN PICTURES OF THE INCIDENT YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW SUCH AN IMPACT COULD HAPPEN UNLESS THEIR WAS FAULT IN THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME WE ARE AWAITING RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. WE ALSO WANTED TO CONTACT THE GOVERNMENT TO MAKE KNOWN OF THIS RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING OR UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS A USED RENTAL RETURN VEHICLE ON AUGUST 18, 2011. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2011 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP (IRON TRAIL MOTORS - VIRGINIA, MN) BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TURNED OFF WHILE THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THEY RESET THE AIRBAG AND THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND WITHIN A WEEK THE SAME ERROR OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORDERED A NEW WIRING HARNESS FROM TOYOTA AND REPLACED THE WIRING TO THE AIR BAG AND SENSORS. I ONCE AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME AND WITHIN THREE DAYS THE SAME ERROR RECURRED. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA TOLD THEM (DEALERSHIP) THAT WE WERE "BEING SEATED TO HEAVILY" ON THE SEAT AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD RESET THE SENSOR ONCE AGAIN, ADDITIONALLY I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT TOYOTA WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR ANY FURTHER RETURNS OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF AIR BAG ISSUES. TODAY I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE (CASE # [XXX]) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARDS. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,240. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

UPON STOP AND THEN THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD THE FUEL IN THE TANK MOVES CAUSING THE BAFFLE IN THE TANK TO MAKE A BANGING HAPPENS IN FULL TANK FUEL OR 3/4TH OF THE TANK. INFORMED THE DEALER AND NO PROPER DIAGNOSE ACTION RESPONDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH DOWN HILL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UP TO 75 MPH. THE RPMS INCREASED UP TO 5 OR 6 FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE. THE DRIVER PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,500. UPDATED 12/12/11*LJ UPDATED 01/19/12 THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONSUMER LIFTED HIS FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AGAIN, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROAR LOUDLY AND AT A HIGH SPEED. THE CONSUMER THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND THEN TO S-MODE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED ROARING, SLOWED DOWN AND RESPONDED NORMAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2011 DEAR SIR, ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO, MY WIFE HAD A BLOWOUT OF HER RIGHT FRONT TIRE WITH TREAD SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALL VERY NEAR THE TIRE TREAD. AT THAT TIME, SHE ALSO NOTICED ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE A LARGE BLISTER IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AREA THAT WAS BULGING OUT SEVERAL INCHES. AS DIRECTED BY TOYOTA I TOOK THE 2011 CAMRY LE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SPARKS TOYOTA) IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC. THE SERVICE MANAGER (CHRIS ?) INDICATED THAT HE THOUGHT WE HAD HIT SOMETHING THAT DAMAGED THE SIDEWALL ON THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES. HE SHOWED ME A MINISCULE SCRATCH ON THE PAINTED ALLOY RIM THAT HE THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN AN IMPACT AREA. I COULD HARDLY SEE IT AND IT WAS TOO SMALL TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED BY MY CAMERA. HE ALSO SAID THE TIRE WAS SCUFFED SLIGHTLY BUT OF COURSE IT WAS SCUFFED AFTER THE BLOWOUT BY SUDDEN DEFLATION. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HE INDICATED ALSO HAD BEEN IMPACTED WHICH I COULD NOT SEE ANY APPARENT DAMAGE. I SPOKE WITH FIRESTONE BY TELEPHONE AND THEY INDICATED THAT SINCE THE TECHNICIAN HAD REPORTED SIDEWALL DAMAGE THE WARRANTY WAS NO GOOD DUE TO IMPACT. QUITE FRANKLY, WE HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING WITH EITHER TIRE NOR RUN OVER OR SCRAPED THE SIDEWALL ON CURBING. I FEEL THAT BOTH OF THESE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA AND FIRESTONE ARE COVERING UP DEFECTIVE TIRES THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NTSB AND ALSO WITH THE CONSUMER PRODUCTS SAFETY ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON D.C. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, HE DROVE OVER A ROCK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW. AS A RESULT OF THE BLOWOUT, THE RIM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SPLIT IN HALF. THE CONTACT INSTALLED A SPARE TIRE AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE RIM REPLACED. THE RIM WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. UPDATED 11/01/2011 *LN *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THERE WAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND AS THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER THE CURB AND STOPPED IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED. THERE WERE DAMAGES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEBRIS OF TREES THE VEHICLE TRAVELED OVER WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND OUT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. UPDATED 11/03/2011 *LN *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO A PARKING SPACE AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER NECK AND SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM HER DOCTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED A CASE MANAGER WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH THE CONTACT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

I HAVE A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. AT AROUND 5,000 MILES WHEN IT WAS TIME TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE, OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION ETC. I HAD A TYPE OF SQUEAKING CRACKLING NOISE THAT I WOULD HEAR WHEN PULLING IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAY. I TOOK IT IN AND TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT IT WAS. IT WAS THE SUPPORTS FOR THE SUNROOF THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. THEY ADVISED THAT THE NOISE WOULD ONLY GET LOUDER AND LOUDER. THEY HAD IT THERE FOR TWO DAYS GLUING/BONDING SUPPORTS. ON AUGUST 10, 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. I LOOKED AT ALL MY GLASS WINDOWS AND DIDN'T NOTICE WHAT HAD UNTIL GLASS WAS FLYING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND THAT IS WHEN I SAW MY SUNROOF GLASS BROKEN. THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THE GLASS WAS THAT IT LOOKED A VOLCANO. IT WAS SHATTERED FROM THE OUTER PART OF THE SUNROOF GLASS TO THE MIDDLE. ALMOST LIKE THERE WAS PRESSURE BUILT UP AND IT ONLY HAD ONE WAY OF SHOOTING UP AND OUT. I CALLED TOYOTA TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT DAY. I WENT IN THAT AFTERNOON AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING I JUST WROTE TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE WORK ORDER HISTORY HAD WHERE THEY FIXED THE SUPPORTS ON THE SUNROOF/ HE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE CAR TOMORROW AND LET ME KNOW. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM THE NEXT DAY STATING THAT I HAD TO GET A HOLD OF MY INSURANCE CLAIM ADJUSTER SO THEY COULD GO LOOK AT DAMAGES. HE HAD TALKED TO TOYOTA WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND THEY CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER DAMAGES. HE STATED THAT IT SEEMED LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT IT. I SPENT THE NEXT 10 DAYS WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, I HAD TO PAY RENTAL FEES FOR THE 10 DAYS BECAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT OFFER FREE RENTAL SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS. THEY ALSO DON'T DIRECT BILL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY SO YOU CAN PAY ONLY THE PERCENT STATED ON INSURANCE POLICY. I HAD TO PAY THEM THE FULL AMOUNT AND TAKE IT UP WITH MY INSURANCE. I PAID MY INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AND THEN TOOK THE CAR. *TR

THE WINDOWS CONSISTENTLY STICK WHEN IN THE UP POSITION. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. MANY TIMES THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON HAS TO BE FORCED TO GET THE WINDOW DOWN. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A RESIDUE THAT KEEPS APPEARING ON THE TOP OF THE WINDOW WHICH SITS ON A RUBBER SEAL. THE RUBBER SEAL AT THE TOP OF THE WINDOW IS BEING WORN. CONCERN: IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY IF THE WINDOW NEEDS TO BE OPENED IT MAY FAIL TO OPEN.

I BOUGHT A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY TWO AND A HALF MONTHS AGO--PROBLEM IS THE REAR WINDOW DURING NIGHT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MANY CAR HEADLIGHTS HITTING THE WINDOW AND THE REARVIEW(MIRROR-- THE IMAGE ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS LIKE VIEWING A WET SPIDER WEB WITH A SCINTILLATING GRID BECAUSE OF THE WIRES EMBEDDED IN THE GLASS,(WHETHER FOR DEFROST OR RADIO RECEPTION IDO NOT KNOW) THIS GRID IN THE REAR WINDOW CAUSES A DISTORTED IMAGE --IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE IMAGE SUFFERS FROM 'IMAGE STATIC' WHICH CAUSES THE DRIVER TO SORT OUT THE HEADLIGHTS FROM THE 'STATIC'--IT IS VERY TIRESOME DRIVINGAT NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY--TRY IT AND YOU SHOULD SEE THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT--I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN OTHER CARS--IT IS UNSAFE, THE WINDOW SHOULD NOT BREAK UP THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH IT -VERY DISTRACTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL NOISE. AS A RESULT, SHE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO HER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO SENT AN ENGINEER TO FURTHER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

IN ADDITON TO THE CAR AT A STOP SIGN BRAKE ENGAGED AND CAR JERKED FORWARD. PROCEEDED HOME AND PARKED CAR AND PROCEEDED TO EXIT CAR AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWRD. AS I TURN TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS NOT IN THE PARK POSTION IT WAS AND I AM TERRIFIED TO HAVE THIS CAR AT HOME MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE AREA A FEW MINUTES BEFORE AND SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE CAR IF SHE WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK, AND THE ONLY THING THEY CAN DO IS TRY AND RECREATE THE PROBLEM IF IT DOES NOT DO THE SAME THING WHEN THEY TRY AND RECREATE IT THEN IT WILL BE CLOSED AND DEEMS NOT AN ISSSUE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH WHAT HAPPEND. *TT

CAR ONLY HAS 31000 MILES. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, ENCOUNTERED THAT IS A CURRENT INCIDENT AMONG THIS CAR OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER STRIKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD ERRONEOUSLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH A SWITCH TO ENGAGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, THE SIZE AND LENGTH OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST SIGNIFICANTLY OBSTRUCTED THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

MY WIFE AND I ARE RETIRED IN FLORIDA. WE PARKED OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH KEYLESS IGNITION IN OUR GARAGE AND BROUGHT THE KEY FOB WITH US INTO OUR HOME. MY WIFE EITHER DID NOT PUSH THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON HARD ENOUGH OR FORGOT TO PUSH THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE DID NOT HEAR THE 3 SHORT BEEPS TELLING US THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE KEY FOB WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO OUR HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING IN OUR CLOSED GARAGE. CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES ENTERED OUR HOME CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND LETHARGY. OUR HOME CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SOUNDED AN ALARM. WE INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WE LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING IN THE GARAGE FOR 90 MINUTES. THE GARAGE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 100(F) DEGREES. THERE WAS A LARGE POOL OF WATER UNDER THE CAR FROM CONDENSATION FROM THE CAR AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. WE WERE SICKENED BY THE CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES AND CAME CLOSE TO LOSING OUR LIVES. THE KEYLESS IGNITION OPTION IS TOO DANGEROUS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE IN DESIGN THAT TURNS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE KEY FOB LEAVES THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE OFF BUTTON IS NOT DEPRESSED.

BLUETOOTH DOES NOT WORK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS HE SMELLED AN ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN HE TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT OFF. AFTER A WHILE HE BECAME SICK AND WAS HOSPITALIZED, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED HIM TO BECOME SICK. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE FILTER UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX MAY NEED TO BE CHANGED. THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, SMELL THE ODOR AND A TECHNICIAN FROM THE FACTORY WAS NOTIFIED. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE WHERE THE ODOR WAS CAME FROM; HOWEVER, HE ADDED A SPECIAL FILTER TO THE VEHICLE TO KEEP THE ODOR OUT. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS HE SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

JUST 5 SECOND AFTER PULLING OUT FROM PARKING SPACE, WHILE GOING AROUND THE SCHOOL BUS AND TRYING TO AVOID THE CAR GOING TOWARD ME, PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR SPEED UP AT WHOLE POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT. IT FILED APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET REACHING SPEED AT LEAST 50 MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECOND. I WAS TRYING TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO STOP IT, AND AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME, I MANAGED TO JUMP ON A CURB AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A BUILDING AND AFTER MY CAR FLIPPED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE SOMETHING, INSIDE THE CAR (EITHER MECHANICAL OR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM) PREVENTED ME STOPPING THE CAR TIMELY. THERE WAS NO INJURY, BUILDING WERE DAMAGED JUST SLIGHTLY, MY CAR WAS DESTROYED , BUT IT HAS A FULL COVERAGE. THE WHOLE CRASH WAS TAPPED BY A SECURITY CAMERA. IT CLEARLY SHOWS THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR, WHICH EVERYBODY, WHO WATCHED IT, BELIEVE COULDN'T BE DONE BY PERSON, BUT MOSTLY BY A CAR ITSELF. THAT SIMPLY LOOKS FOR ME SOMETHING THE SAME AS IT WAS IN PREVIOUS TOYOTA RECALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO RETRIEVE THE BLACK BOX FROM THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE THE DEALER AUTHORIZATION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 03/24/11*LJ UPDATED 1/5/11 *CN

AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 75, WHEN THE ENGINE IS LIGHTLY LOADED, THE COMPUTER CONTROLLED THROTTLE CANNOT DECIDE IF IT OUGHT TO BE SLIGHTLY OPEN OR COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE WORST CASE IS WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED DOWN A GENTLE HILL. THE THROTTLE CYCLES INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN OFF AND ON. WHEN THE THROTTLE SHUTS, THE TACH WILL SUDDENLY DROP ABOUT 150 RPM AND THE CAR NOTICEABLY DECELERATES. OFTEN, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO REALIZE THAT THE THROTTLE SHOULDN'T BE ALL THE WAY OFF, AND COMMANDS THE ENGINE TO SPEED UP. ENGINE SPEED THEN JUMPS ABOUT 200 RPM, WITH AN ANNOYING SURGE AND DROPS BACK ABOUT 50 RPM A SECOND OR SO LATER. OCCASIONALLY THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT 'WAKE UP' AND I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY THROTTLE TO GET THE CAR TO RETURN TO THE DESIRED SPEED, AT WHICH POINT IT WOULD ACCELERATE THROUGH MY TARGET SPEED AND I WOULD BACK OFF, ONLY TO HAVE THE CYCLE REPEAT. OCCASIONALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE THROTTLE, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO HOLD SPEED AS IF ON CRUISE CONTROL. AT ONE POINT, I PROCEEDED ABOUT A HALF MILE AT 60 MPH WITH MY FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR. SEVERAL TIMES, I HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM OVERRUNNING TRAFFIC AHEAD WHEN THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND TO REDUCED THROTTLE. WHEN DECELERATING TO A STOP FROM CRUISING SPEED (ABOVE 50 MPH), PARTICULARLY DOWN A HILL, AFTER THE THROTTLE HAD INITIALLY CLOSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE NORMALLY TO ABOUT 40 MPH, AT WHICH POINT ENGINE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY INCREASE ABOUT 200 RPM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO GENTLY ACCELERATE. THESE UNCOMMANDED THROTTLE EXCURSIONS WERE MILD. WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE AS COMMANDED, SPEED COULD ALWAYS BE REDUCED WITH LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. BUT, THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENTLY ANNOYING AND IS A SYMPTOM THAT THE COMPUTER CONTROLLED THROTTLE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS RENTAL CAR EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY FOR A WEEK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DOESN'T SHIFT SEAMLESSLY AS TO WHAT TOYOTA IS CLAIMING. IT'S BEEN VERY ANNOYING. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH THE MASTER TECHNICIAN IN PITTS TOYOTA DUBLIN GA ADMITS THAT ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO SHIFT SEAMLESS. TOTALLY CONTRASTING COMMENT. *TR

IN AUG. OF `10 I PURCHASED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS ABOUT 6500 MILES ON IT AND AFTER DRIVING IT HOME FROM NIAGARA FALLS YESTERDAY, ABOUT 100 MILES, I RAN IT THROUGH A CAR WASH. I DROVE IT HOME ABOUT A MILE AND MADE TWO STOPS ON THE WAY. PARKED IN THE GARAGE I WENT OUT TO GET THE CAR AROUND NOON TODAY (19 HOURS AFTER THE WASH). THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AS THE WHEELS WERE ALL TIGHTLY LOCKED. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. FINALLY ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS MOVED SLIGHTLY AND IN SO DOING THE BACK END OF THE CAR WENT SIDEWAYS INTO THE GARAGE WALL DOING MINOR DAMAGE. I DID NOT TRY IT ANY MORE UNTIL AROUND 24 HOURS AFTER THE CAR WASH AND IT STILL IS TIGHTLY LOCKED AND WILL NOT MOVE. THE TEMPERATURE LAST NIGHT WAS ABOUT ZERO AND 20 DEGREES TODAY. I FEAR IF I REALLY FORCE IT MAY DO DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS FOR 60 YEARS, WASHED MANY IN AS COLD WEATHER AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. IF I WAS NOT RETIRED AND HAD TO GO TO WORK I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM.

HEADING EAST ON RT. 41 AND UPON INTERING AN INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGTH I SLOWED TO ALLOW 2 CARS TO PASS FROM THE ONCOMING EAST TRAFFIC BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN NORTH ONTO A 4 LANE STREET. UPON ACCELERATING TO MAKE THE TURN, THE CAR HIT THE RIGHT CURB AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY STEER TO THE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM HITTING THE ON COMING TRAFFIC FROM THE NORTH.. I MANAGED TO CROSS TWO LANES BUT IN THE THIRD LANE WAS HIT BY AN ONCOMING SOUTH BOUND VEHICLE.. MY CAR WAS THEN STOPPED BY THE LEFT HAND CURB. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DEMOLISHED AND $8,000 DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO MY FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS IN THE DEMOLISHED CAR WERE DEPLOYED BUT MINE WERE NOT. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXCELERATED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED AND CHECKED I COULD NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT SO TRADED IT OFF THE ONE THAT I COULD. *LN

IN TRAFFIC DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, PRESSED THE BRAKE AND CAR DIDN'T STOP, ACTUALLY SEEMED TO SPEED UP. REAR ENDED CAR IN FRONT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT BODY SHOP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE, SOMETIMES IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS RAPIDLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AS IF IT HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER TESTED THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE AND SINCE THE FAILURE WAS IDENTICAL THE DEALER THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED SINCE THAT WAS UNSAFE AND CAUSED HER TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

ON 9 DEC 2010, I DROVE A RENTAL CAR, 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY (BLUE) FROM VIRGINIA BACK TO NEW JERSEY (NJ). THE CAR HAD 3316 MILES WHEN I RENT ON 8 DEC 2010 IN NJ. AT APPROXIMATELY 6:35 PM EDT ON 9 DEC 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOST LEFT EXPRESS LANE AT 60 MPH IN PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY IN MARYLAND. THE DRIVER FROM MY RIGHT HAND PASSENGER SIDE TENDED TO PASS ME FROM THE RIGHT, AND THAT CAR WAS ALSO VERY CLOSE TO ME. I COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE REAR LIGHT OF THAT VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY TO AVOID COLLISION, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SIMPLY SLOW DOWN. IN ORDER TO AVOID THE COLLISION, I SHIFT PART OF MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER IN MY LEFT HAND SIDE. THEN I DISCOVERED A CAR PARKED ON THE SHOULDER WITH NO SIGNALS/LIGHTS. I PUT ON BRAKES THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY REALLY HARD TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND COULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS OBVIOUSLY FAILED AND IT WAS EVEN ACCELERATED DURING THE LAST FEW SECONDS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION. THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS FINALLY HIT RIGHT ONTO BACK OF THE PARKED CAR (ON THE SHOULDER). AFTER THE SEVERE COLLISION AT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS DEPLOYED FROM THIS SEVER FRONT DRIVER SIDE COLLISION. MOST OF ALL, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY DUE TO ITS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE! THE MILEAGE AFTER THE COLLISION WAS 3595 AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DRIVING DURING THIS TRIP WAS 279 MILES (8-9 DEC 2010). I WAS HURT SEVERELY IN THE LOWER BACK/LUMBAR SPINE AREA. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS SURVIVED FROM THIS SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 20 MPH AND THE CONTACT USED ALL OF HER WEIGHT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE FLOOR MAT BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED OTHERWISE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 800.

I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING AREA, IDLING FORWARD SO THAT I COULD BACK UP AND DROP OFF MY COLLEAGUE AT HER HOUSE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BARELY IDLING FORWARD, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PEDAL WAS FLOORED AND THE CAR WAS SURGING FORWARD WITH A PARKED VEHICLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. I JAMMED ON THE BREAKS, AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. BOTH THE PASSENGER AND I WERE TERRIFIED. I WENT HOME, AND WILL NEVER DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. I DO NOT TRUST TOYOTA TO FIX IT OR OWN UP TO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. THE ACCELERATOR FLOORED ITSELF, AND THEN STUCK THERE. I COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED A PEDESTRIAN, MY PASSENGER OR MYSELF. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2010 OUR 2011 CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAMRY WAS STRUCK BY A 1999 HONDA CRV, THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT. THE CRV CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ALONG THE RIGHT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, BREAKING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND STOPPED AT THE FRONT OF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE ESTIMATED SPEED OF MY CAMRY WAS 10MPH AND THE HONDA CRV WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE CAMRY DEPLOYED BUT NONE OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER, RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, TO HIT HER HEAD ON THE WINDOW. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. A WITNESS AT THE SCENE OBSERVED HER STOCKING CAP FLY OUT THE REAR WINDOW. MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKEN TO THE DOCTOR AND WAS CLEARED AND WE WERE ADVISED TO OBSERVE HER FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS TO MAKE SURE SHE DID NOT HAVE A CONCUSSION. THE DOCTOR ALSO STATED THAT SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE WEARING THE STOCKING CAP AS IT HELPED CUSHION THE BLOW. THE DAMAGE ON THE CAMRY WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO GET AN ANSWER FROM TOYOTA AS TO WHY THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT AS OF YET I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. *TR

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE TWO INSTANCES OF TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE IN 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED SHE NOTICED THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN THE TRACTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FIVE MINUTES LATER, WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, AS SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN JERKED FORWARD REPEATEDLY. THE CONSUMER HAD NO CHOICE, BUT TO RUN THE RED LIGHT. AS THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE PEDAL LITERALLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SECOND TIME SHE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE, IT NEARLY CAUSED HER TO CRASH INTO A BARRIER. AFTER SHE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, THE CONSUMER SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO BRING UP THE TROUBLE CODES. THE FIRST CODE, INDICATED AN OPENING IN THE STOOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT AND THE SECOND CODE WAS THE ABS TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AND SKID CONTROL ECU.

CAR STARTED BUT SPUTTERED AT IDLE. CAR HAD 3/4 TANK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON-OTHER THAN WHEN DASH WAS LIT UP FROM STALLING. TOOK TO DEALER. RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH WHEN A WATER BOTTLE THAT WAS ON THE CONSOLE HIT THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE NEVER MOVED BACKWARD BUT EXHIBITED A VERY LOUD, ABNORMAL SOUND. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,999.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BATTERY "DIED" WITHIN THE FIRST 150 MILES. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND SHE STILL HAD ISSUES WITH THE CD PLAYER, BLUETOOTH AND OTHER BATTERY-OPERATED COMPONENTS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT ASSIST HER AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED HER NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 591. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120.

DRIVER FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN SHE CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAMRY STARTED REVVING THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH DRIVER WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL; AT THIS POINT THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. FIVE MINUTES LATER, DRIVER APPROACHED A RED LIGHT GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAMRY MADE A LOUD SOUND THEN JERKED FORWARD REPEATEDLY. THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR CONSEQUENTLY CAUSING HER TO RUN THE RED LIGHT. SHE THEN ATTEMPTED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE, SO SHE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO STOP BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR DID NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN NEARLY CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO A PARKING LOT BARRIER. THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE BURNING SMELL. TERRIFIED, WE TOOK THE CAMRY TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS RECOVERED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES: C1249 AND U0129. THE TECHNICIANS ALSO DROVE THE CAMRY FOR 55 MILES, BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS, DESPITE THE DTC CODES, BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAMRY, AND WE ARE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT, BUT TOYOTA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES INDICATE OTHERWISE. BASED ON RESEARCH WE DID, THE FIRST CODE C1249, INDICATES AN OPENING IN THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT, WHICH RECOMMENDS THREE LIKELY CAUSES OF THE ERROR, 1) THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH, 2) STOP LIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT, OR 3) THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SKID CONTROL ECU). THE SECOND CODE U0129 INDICATES TROUBLE WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (AS WELL AS THE SKID CONTROL ECU), OR THE CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. THIS IS PARTICULARLY ALARMING BECAUSE WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS IS THAT THE COMPUTER DISENGAGES THE BRAKES, WHICH IS CLEARLY WHAT HAPPENED TO US. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TOLD US TO CONTACT CORPORATE; CORPORATE TOLD US TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, AND THE CAR IS JUST COLLECTING DUST NOW. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY NEW 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY VEERS LEFT.(PURCHASED 9/9/10)THE DEALER HAS ALIGNED IT TWICE, AND THE VEHICLE STILL VEERS LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 1 DAY IN A ROW, AS IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER OVER AND OVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING ON AN INCLINE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY MOVE FARTHER INTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKES AND WHEN REAPPLYING, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACT STATED HE CALLED TWO LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 600.

DURING THE PERIOD OF AUGUST 17-27, I RENTED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. I RENTED IT FROM HERTZ AT THE DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. ON AUGUST 25, WHILE TRAVELING EAST ON US 70, ABOUT 10 MILES WEST OF FRISCO, COLORADO, THE CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED AND THE DASH WENT BLANK, NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. THIS WAS VERY ANNOYING FOR MY PASSENGERS AND ME, GOING FROM 65-70 MPH TO -0- IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON TO THE BERM AND OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING SEMIS, MOST OF WHOM WERE ABLE TO PULL INTO THE PASSING LANE. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE CAR OVERHEATED AS I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH THE AC ON AND THE ROAD IS A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD. I LET THE CAR COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES, MADE SURE THE AC WAS OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AND 'EVERYTHING' CAME TO LIFE. I DROVE UP THE REMAINDER OF THE HILL, KEEPING THE SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, DOWN THE NEXT AND STARTED UP WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED ' COMPLETE LACK OF POWER. AGAIN VERY ANNOYING!!! AFTER THIS LAST EPISODE WE CALLED YOUR OFFICE AND WERE TOLD TO WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A REPLACEMENT. AS WE HAD A SCHEDULED ENGAGEMENT IN FRISCO, AND A FRIEND WHO COULD DRIVE OUT 10 MILES TO PICK US UP, THE AGENT TOLD US TO LEAVE THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE AGENT SAID A CAR WOULD BE DELIVERED TO OUR HOTEL IN FRISCO. THE CAR WAS DELIVERED TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER. AND ONE MORE THING. I AM NOT SURE BUT I THINK THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK THE FIRST STALL TIME. I THINK THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD BEFORE I GOT IT FROM DRIVE TO PARK I WAS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE THE FIRST TIME AND A LITTLE SLOW TO REACT TO THE STALL. THE SECOND TIME AS SOON AS IT STALLED I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND PUT IT INTO PARK.

MY NEW CAR HAS A 'VOR' LENS WHICH RESULTS IN HALF THE WINDSHIELD DARKENED DURING LOW BEAM USE. THIS 'ECE' STYLE LIGHTING IS TOTALLY DISTRACTING AND I BELIEVE DANGEROUS IN A DARK, RURAL SETTING. MOTORISTS ARE REFUSING TO 'BEAM DOWN' WHEN APPROACHING SINCE THEY'RE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HALF THE WINDSHIELD DARK! OFF THE MAIN ROADWAY HAS IT'S PROBLEMS WHEN MORE THAN HALF THE WINDOW BECOMES VERY DARK, VERY QUICKLY. OVER USE OF HIGH BEAMS WILL HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. ORIGINAL SAE LIGHTING SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR RETROFIT FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET. *TR

I WAS SLOWED PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE CAR SUDDENLY GAVE A ROARING SOUND AND HEADED FULL SPEED AHEAD. I ASSUME I MUST HAVE LET MY FOOT SLIP ONTO THE GAS BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED. I THOUGHT I'D REPORT TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE'S INCURS A PROBLEM. I WAS ASSURED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST ON THE 2011'S. THE FORCE WAS SO HARD, IT KNOCKED A TOYOTA TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND INTO THE STREET. IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I ALSO TOOK OUT THE VAN BESIDE ME. MY CAMRY SUFFERED BUMPER AND LIGHTS DAMAGE AND A SLIGHT RIPPLE TO THE HOOD. THE DAMAGE WAS UNBELIEVABLY SLIGHT CONSIDERING THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MAY 2010. THE CAR IS ONLY 1 MONTH OLD AND SINCE DAY 1, THE CAR VEERS TO THE LEFT AT HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH.

THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED, BUT AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF, THE PROBLEM REMAINED AND VEERS LEFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR
