POWER TRAIN
I JUST LEARNED THAT MY TOYOTA WAS COVERED UNDER A RESTRICTED RECALL UNTIL 10/31/17. MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES WITH VIBRATION AT 35-45MPH. I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL CARS WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE HAD ALL FOUR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS REPLACED... BEFORE 40,000 MILES!!! AND ALL WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF EACH OTHER...UGH!!! BUT AT LEAST THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD, BECAUSE IF THEY WEREN'T, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN $1,700. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRODUCTS, I GUESS THEY JUST HAVE VERY WEAK DOOR LOCK MOTORS. THIS IS THE ORDER THEY WENT OUT IN: DRIVERS, REAR PASSENGER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND REAR DRIVER. BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY WENT OUT, THEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK. YOU COULD SEE THE DOOR LOCK INDICATOR TRYING TO MOVE, BUT IT COULDN'T MOVE ALL THE WAY INTO THE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED POSITION. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHEN IT EITHER WAS SUPER COLD OR SUPER HOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WAS SUPER ANNOYING WAS IF ONE DOOR LOCK DIDN'T LOCK, THE ENTIRE CAR UNLOCKED ITSELF. SO YOU WOULD WALK AWAY THINKING THE CAR WAS LOCKED, WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T. EVENTUALLY THEY JUST QUIT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ALL TOGETHER. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CAR HAS BEEN FLAWLESS. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR, WE ARE TOYOTA PEOPLE FOR LIFE! HOWEVER, I FIGURE IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM, TOYOTA WILL RECALL THEM OR DO SOME SORT OF SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN TURNING TO A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP AFTER SLOWING FOR THE TURN THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE RAMP THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE AND RE-APPLY THE ACCELERATOR TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT CAUSING BRAKES TO TAKE OVER SPEED CONTROL. THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE EXPECTATION WHEN ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP IS THAT ACCELERATION IS GOING TO OCCUR, TRAFFIC BEHIND ME COULD NOT ONLY BE IRATETHATIAM NOT ACCELERATING(STARTINGAROAD RAGE INCIDENT)BUT IT COULD ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FROM THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME NOT EXPECTING A SLOW DOWN ON THE RAMP. TOYOTA MADE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AND AM STILL COVERED BY THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS WAS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFAULT IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED SHOWS WHAT MY COMPLAINT WAS TO THE DEALER AND WHAT DEALER DID TO FIX IT WITH MY PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE FOURTH TIME, AN ACTUATOR IN MY 2014 CAMRY LE FAILED. I NOW HAVE HAD FOUR ' DIFFERENT ' ACTUATORS FAIL IN MY CAR. THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. MOST CONSUMERS EXPECT THAT IF THE CAR HAS AN AUTO-LOCK FEATURE ' AS OURS HAS' THAT IT WILL DO SO. IF ONE DEPRESSES THE REMOTE LOCK BUTTON, OR THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THEY EXPECT ALL DOORS WILL LOCK. OUR DOORS FAIL IN ALL THESE WAYS. HAVING FOUR LOCKED DOORS IN OUR SEDAN IS A VITAL SAFETY FEATURE, BOTH DURING MOVEMENT, AND WHILE PARKED. WE BOUGHT OUR CAMRY AS A NEW CAR IN 2014. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO AT 31K MILES, THE REAR, LEFT ACTUATOR FAILED. THE OEM PART COST $341. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT, AND FIXED AT MY EXPENSE IN MARCH, 2018. THE DAY OF THE REPAIR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. I CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE. I ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE TO WHICH THEIR RESPONSE WAS A $200 REFUND ON A NEW ACTUATOR PURCHASE FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. THE COST OF NEW OEM PART WAS $329, PLUS, INSTALLATION. I WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE DIFFERENCE AND JUMP THROUGH VARIOUS HOOPS TO SEEK A RE-IMBURSEMENT. IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2018 THE FRONT, DRIVER DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. REALLY, THREE ACTUATORS GOING BAD ON ONE CAR ' STARTING WITH A THREE YEAR OLD AUTOMOBILE, GARAGED AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED, WITH ONLY 31,000 MILES? IN MID NOVEMBER THE REAR, PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT PROPERLY LOCK. NOW ALL THE ACTUATORS IN OUR CAR HAVE GONE BAD IN THE LAST YEAR! THIS IS A SAFETY AND WELFARE ISSUE. WE CONSTANTLY WORRY IF ANY OF THE DOORS AUTO-LOCK ON MOVEMENT. SIMILARLY, WE WORRY THAT IF A DOOR IS LEFT UNLOCKED WE COULD BE VICTIMIZED WITH AN UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY WITH LOSS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY, VANDALISM OR ASSAULT. AS WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS SINCE WE STARTED DRIVING (LATE 1960S), WE THINK THIS IS A SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD REMEDY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
START TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM ON 12/20/2018 GET UP TO 20 MPH HARD SHIFT AND THEN UP TO 40 MPH HAS A VIBRATION AND THEN AFTER BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH IT DRIVE NORMAL. NOTICEABLE HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AND SHIFTING OCCURS BETWEEN 30-32 MPH. HESITATE TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN TAKING OFF, IT MOSTLY HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS FIRST STARTING OUT FROM STOP, AFTERWARD IT FINE GEARS SHIFTS CORRECTLY AND THE IDLE CONTROL GUAGE IS NORMAL BETWEEN GEARS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER ON 01/03/2019, THE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE CAR FOR DRIVE TEST AND HE SAID ITS A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. THEY CHANGED THE TORQUE CONVERTER PART; ON 1/05/2019 I WENT TO THE DEALER TO PICK UP THE CAR AND AFTER DRIVING FOR FEW MINUTES, I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. I RETOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE SAME TECHNICIAN TOOK FOR THE TEST DRIVE, AND THIS TIME HE SAID IT HAS INTERNAL DELAY ON SECOND GEAR. I AM NOT SURE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ADVISED I NEED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THE FOLLOWING ONLINE. "CARS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MIGHT EXPERIENCE A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. REVISED SOFTWARE FOR THE ON BOARD COMPUTER IS AVAILABLE WHICH MAY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SOFTWARE REVISIONS ARE COMMONLY MOST HELPFUL ON NEWER VEHICLES. ONCE THE MILEAGE BUILDS UP A WORN COMPONENT COULD CAUSE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHENEVER MAJOR TRANSMISSION WORK IN PERFORMED, THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE SHOULD BE UPDATED AS NECESSARY". I AM TAKING MY CAR ON 01/07/2019 TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND SEE IF THAT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM

SERVICE BRAKES
PULLING OUR 2014 CAMRY INTO OUR GARAGE AT VERY LOW SPEED WHEN THE RUBBER BRAKE PEDAL PAD CAME OFF CAUSING MY FOOT TO SLIDE OFF THE PEDAL RESULTING IN THE CAR STRIKING THE STEP LEADING INTO OUR HOUSE. I BROUGHT OUR CAR BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT THEIR FIRST COMPLAINT REGARDING THE RUBBER PAD FALLING OFF. THE ONLY GUIDANCE THEY OFFERED ME WAS TO USE "GORILLA GLUE" TO RENDER THE RUBBER BRAKE PEDAL PAD MORE SECURE. I BELIEVE THAT THE EASE IN WHICH THE RUBBER PAD CAN SEPARATE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
