STRUCTURE:BODY
ROUGHLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CAMRY SE AND ABOUT 500 MILES, I NOTICED A POPPING/CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ROOF OVER THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN <30 MPH AND ON UNEVEN/BUMPY GROUND. TO DATE IT HAS BEEN IN THE TOYOTA MAINTENANCE SHOP FOR 35 DAYS AND COUNTING WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENTS. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS AN IDEA OF WHAT IS CAUSING THE SOUND OR HOW TO FIX IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE SOME UNDIAGNOSED STRUCTURAL ISSUE. THEY HAVE MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS REPAIR ATTEMPT THAT THE ROOF MAY BE TOO THIN ALLOWING THE METAL TO FLEX TOO MUCH. *TR

THIS NOT A COMPLAINT, BUT IT IS A SAFETY QUESTION. MY VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH 16 INCH DIAMETER WHEELS. THE SUPPLIED CONVENIENCE SPARE IS A 17 INCH DIAMETER WHEEL. MY QUESTION CONCERNS THE DIFFERENCE IN DIAMETER BETWEEN THE MAIN WHEELS AND THE SPARE. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED OF 60MPH, I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING IN A STRAIGHT LANE WITHOUT IT BEING SWAYS TO THE LEFT. (ALMOST HIT ANOTHER THE CAR ON THE LEFT LANE SIDE.) ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN RAINING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONSTANTLY MADE "CLICK CLICK" SOUND, AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T WIPE. (MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE.) THE LAST ONE IS THE LOUD WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ON THE SIDE OF THE WINDOW, A VERY LOUD NOISE SOMEHOW SLIP THROUGH AND HURTING MY EAR. (ALL WINDOWS ARE CLOSED.) *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM GERMAIN TOYOTA, COLUMBUS OHIO LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO ON 10/26/2013, THIS WAS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 160 POINT INSPECTION AND 3 YEAR/36,000 AND 7 YEAR/100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WAS HARDLY 6 MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 8,274 MILES ON IT WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION. IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BACK IN DAYTON SOME MAJOR PROBLEM APPEARED WHILE DRIVING, FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING SOME SMALL NOISE BUT NO WARNING INDICATOR CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD, LATER ON AFTER ABOUT A MILE IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE I SLOWED DOWN FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE I-75 HIGHWAY EXIT. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND CROSSING BY AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AS I SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD, AND CONSIDERING THIS IS A CURRENT YEAR 2013 CAMRY MODEL WITH TOYOTA CERTIFIED AND VERY LOW MILEAGE THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSATISFACTORY AND PUT ME AND MY WIFE AT DANGER. I'LL ALSO TRY TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SEPARATELY, I'M ALSO NOT SURE IF TOYOTA OR THE DEALER HAD ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT OR WERE JUST CARELESS CONSIDERING THEY DID A 160 POINT INSPECTION AND SOLD THIS AS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR. CONSIDERING I BOUGHT THIS LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, I'LL TRY TO RETURN THIS TO THE DEALER AND IF THERE IS ANY HASSLE I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER IN THE COURT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO TEST OR LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *TR

EACH TIME WE OPEN THE TRUNK TO THE CAMRY HYBRID, IT WANTS TO COME DOWN ON YOUR HEAD. IT'S A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO OPENS IT. WE NOW REGRET BUYING OUR FIRST TOYOTA. NO TELLING WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO GO WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE THOUGHT THAT TOYOTA HAD FINALLY FIXED ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES, HOWEVER; IT LOOKS LIKE NEW ONES KEEP POPPING UP. WE REALLY LIKE THE LOOK AND MPG OF THE CAMRY BUT, NOW WE JUST WANT TO GET RID OF IT. *TR

TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY UP, IF VEHICLE IS ON THE SLIGHTEST UPGRADE WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK IT COMES BACK DOWN AND HITS YOU IN THE HEAD. I HAVE BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW AND MY WIFE WAS HIT SO HARD WE TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS TO HAVE HER CHECKED FOR A CONCUSSION. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER ADJUST THE TRUNK LID BUT IT STILL COMES DOWN ON YOU WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. WHEN YOUR BENT OVER TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE TRUNK OR GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT YOU DO SEE IT COMING, AND IT HURTS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
AFTER MAKING A TURN ONTO A ROAD, BEFORE ENTERING A PARKING LOT, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON. IT'S A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 3500 MILES ON IT - THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. I TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, PARK THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I CHECK THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW I CANNOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT IS STUCK IN PARK. I STEP ON THE BRAKE, I TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL TURNS FINE. THE GEAR IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK. I TRY MY CAR ONE MORE TIME AND IT IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK TRIES, HE PUTS HIS HAND ON THE HANDLE AND BEHOLD, IT SHIFTS OUT OF PARK AND CAN GO INTO R, N AND D. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS 'ODD' OCCURRENCE. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
