ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE OCCURS ON MORNINGS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS JUST BELOW 50 DEGREES F. WHEN THE NEEDS ARISES TO USE THE HORN THE SOUND IT MAKES IS AS IF THE HORN IS STICKING AND CAN NOT SOUND T6HE PROPER TONE AND VOLUME OF THE HORN. ONCE THE HORN IS USED AND THIS OCCURS THE HORN WORKS PROPERLY UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING THE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW 50 DEGREES F. I HAVE RECORDED THIS OCCURRENCE ON A VOICE RECORDER BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT IT AS PROOF. NO REPAIR WORK HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AS THE DEALER STATES THEY MUST REPLICATE THE ISSUE BEFORE THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO ME THAT IT IS TOOTSIE POLICY THAT IF WARRANTY WORK IS PERFORMED AND THE PART IS DEEMED NOT DEFECTIVE BY TOYOTA, THE DEALERSHIP MUST ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE HORN IS NOT FUNCTIONING AT PROPER DB LEVELS THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED FOR. THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE HORN DECIDES NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *NM

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS EXPERIENCING THROTTLE & SHIFT LAG. I'VE TRIED MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE NOT RESPOND. THE CRAZY REVVING FROM THE VEHICLE NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY IS ALSO CAUSING A SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN FUEL ECONOMY (FROM 24 MPG TO 18 MPG). TOYOTA HAS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR SURGES (SUDDENLY INCREASES SPEED) IN REVERSE 10-30 SECONDS FOLLOWING COLD START. THIS OCCURS DURING SLOW, BRAKE CONTROLLED, BACKING FROM MY HOME GARAGE. WHEN SURGE OCCURS, TACHOMETER GOES UP A FEW HUNDRED RPM AND I HAVE TO QUICKLY APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR FROM SURGING BACK AND GOING OUT OF CONTROL OR HITTING SOMETHING. THE A/C-HEATER IS NOT TURNED ON WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS SO IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE A/C SOLENOID INCREASING THE ENGINE RPM. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS OFF. THIS CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PREPARED TO EXPECT IT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR COLD. I HAVE ESTIMATED THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS BELOW AND HAVE PROVIDED TODAY'S DATE AS THE LATEST DATE OF INCIDENT. I ONLY HAVE INFORMATION ON THIS HAPPENING IN "REVERSE" BECAUSE EVERY TIME I START MY CAR COLD, IT IS IN THE GARAGE AND I HAVE TO BACK OUT. *JB SEE ALSO 10295531, SAME COMPLAINANT. * DSY

TIRES, SUSPENSION
MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY LE SEEMS TO HAVE A FRONT END PROBLEM. I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX THE ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE THE TIRES TWICE, BUT NOTHING HAS IMPROVED. THE CAR DOESN'T TRACK VERY WELL AND IT TENDS TO VIBRATE ABOVE 60 MPH. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OFTEN BECAUSE IT REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION TO STAY IN A STRAIGHT LINE. DID TOYOTA DESIGN OR ASSEMBLE SOMETHING IMPROPERLY? *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
06/07 CAMRY V6 AND 07 AVALON HAVE A 1 SECOND DELAY OR LONGER ON ACCELERATION. I FEEL THIS DELAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU PRESS ON ACCELERATOR FARTHER DOWN THAN REQUIRED BECAUSE OF THE DELAY AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AFTER THE DELAY. MY DEALER SAYS ALL 5 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION CARS FOR TOYOTA HAVE THIS DELAY AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. MY DEALER IS NOT DISCLOSING THIS TO CUSTOMERS BUT WILL GLADLY ADDRESS THIS IF ASKED. MY DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE MY 06 CAMRY WITH AN 07 BECAUSE I FEEL THE 80 HP MORE ON THE 07 AND MORE AIR BAGS ARE BETTER THAN THE 06. THE DELAY IS ALSO ON THE 07 CAMRY V6. *NM

CONSUMER WOULD LIKE INFORMATION REGARDING 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SYSTEM. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HIS WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. IF SHE RAISES HER FEET OFF THE FLOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE TIME THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL BE ON. THE CONSUMER STATED IT IS HIS BELIEF THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOULD BE ON WITHOUT TAKING SPECIAL MEASURES. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE NOTICED MY 2006 CAMRY XLE HAS NOT STOPPED AS QUICKLY AS THE 1995 V6 CAMRY I PREVIOUSLY OWNED. THE INSTANCE THIS HAS BEEN MOST DANGEROUS IS WHEN I HAD 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR AND A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. I APPLIED BRAKES WHILE GOING ABOUT 45 MPH BEHIND A FLATBED TRUCK. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE QUICKLY ENOUGH, AND WE ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, IF I TRY TO STOP QUICKLY AT A YELLOW LIGHT, THE CAR CANNOT STOP QUICKLY ENOUGH. I END UP EITHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION OR RUNNING A LIGHT TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 1250 MILES. *JB
