ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENTLY, THE BUTTON START WILL NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO START. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 50F. THE CAR WILL INDICATE THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT A KEY IS NEARBY (GREEN KEY ICON ON THE DASH) BUT WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND THE BUTTON IS PUSHED, ONLY THE ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR TURN ON. THE CAR, THOUGH, REFUSES TO TURN OVER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEY ARE ALSO UNABLE TO FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE OF THE BATTERY. BUT FURTHER TESTING OF THAT HYPOTHESIS HAS PROVEN ME WRONG, SO FAR. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS ONLINE BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO OFFER A FIX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN MY OPINION THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY AND OR CHARGING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW. THE NEW BATTERY FAILED WITHIN THREE YEARS. A NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY THEN DISPLAYED NOTABLE CORROSION STARTING AROUND FOUR MONTHS. THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THE OPINION OF A SEEMINGLY OFF GASSING PROBLEM CAUSING CORROSION ESPECIALLY ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL AS IS MY EXPERIENCE. THE INTERNET NOTES RISKS OF BEING STRANDED WITH DEAD BATTERIES AND IN AT LEAST ONE CASE BELIEF OR OPINION THAT A HOUSE FIRE STARTING IN THE GARAGE CAUSED AROUND $300,000 OF DAMAGE. THE FIRE IS STATED TO HAVE DERIVED IN THE BATTERY LOCATION FROM A CLAIMED DEFECTIVE BATTERY. THE DEALER STATES CORROSION IS COMMON AND COSTS AROUND $55 TO SERVICE AND OR REPLACING POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CLAMPS AND CONNECTING CABLES AS NEEDED. MY SISTER VEHICLE WITH AN OLDER BATTERY WERE BOTH GARAGED IN THE CALIFORNIA MODERATE CLIMATE AND HAS NO CORROSION. THE ISSUE OF A FAILURE SEEMS SUSPECTED BY TOYOTA AS THE DATE I REPORTED THE SECOND ALLEGED FAILURE, TOYOTA SENDS ME A QUESTIONNAIRE ASKING ABOUT DRIVING DISTANCES AND TIMES NOTING THE BATTERY FAILURE. THE INTERNET SUSPECTS THE SYSTEM IS OVERCHARGING. DANGER IN MY VIEW ARISES FROM BEING STRANDED OR FIRE. UNNECESSARY COST IS REQUIRED IN MY OPINION TO SERVICE AT $55 AND OR BUY NEW CLAMPS AND CABLES THAT ARE CORRODED. THE TOYOTA SURVEY CONFIRMS SUSPICION ADVANCED IN MY OPINIONS ABOUT CHARGING FAILURE SINCE QUESTIONS INCLUDE DISTANCE AND TIME DRIVEN AND STARTS AND STOPS. I HAD PLEASANT TREATMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND A REPORT TO THE CORPORATE TOYOTA CASE MANAGER. THE PLEASANTRIES DON'T HOWEVER ACCOUNT FOR THE COST OF SERVICE, COST OR REPLACEMENT AND ANCILLARY CONSIDERATIONS AS BEING STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY IS FRAUGHT WITH UNSETTLING CONSEQUENCES. I AM A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER, THERE IS NO RANCOR OR ANIMOSITY. I OWN SEVERAL TOYOTAS AND WILL BUY AGAIN.

CAR SHUDDERS AT 45 MPH WHICH BECOMES WHOOSHING SOUND AT 55 MPH. TOOK TO DEALER, WHO SAYS IT IS PROBLEM WITH TORQUE CONVERTER. THEY CHANGED SOME COMPUTER SETTINGS WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM BETTER, BUT IT REAPPEARED 2 WEEKS LATER. NOW DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO TILL TOYOTA ISSUES A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. ISUUE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AT SOME POINT, PUTTING DRIVER AND PASSENGER LIVES ARE RISK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON CHANGING CELLULAR SERVICE THIS YEAR, I GOT A NEW PHONE. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER IT INTO THE CAMRY'S BLUETOOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE, AS I FOUND OUT AFTER TAKING THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE, THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TOUCH SCREEN NO LONGER WORKS. AS A RESULT, TO USE THE CELL PHONE IN THE CAR I HAVE TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND AND WORK THE PHONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM, APPARENTLY SO PREVALENT IN TOYOTAS THAT IT CAN BE GOOGLED ONLINE.

MY CAR ONCE I GET TO 20-25 MPH IT STARTS TO JERK BADLY AND THEN IT STOPS. THEN IT JERKS MORE ONCE I GET BETWEEN 45-55 MPH IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AS I FOUND IT ONLINE AND I WAS TOLD IF MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I CAN'T PAY THIS $1600 AND STILL PAY MY CAR NOTE I'M ON DISABILITY AT THE MOMENT DUE TO A TRANSPLANT. I THINK THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. I ALSO DON'T WANT ANYONE TO RUN INTO ME ON THE ROAD I'M SCARED EVERYTIME I PULL OFF IN TRAFFIC THAT THE CAR WON'T SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY AND SOMEONE MAY HIT ME FROM BEHIND WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.
