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

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

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

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

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

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