STRUCTURE
ON APRIL 19, 2014 I PURCHASED THE ABOVE REFERENCED VEHICLE, A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY SE FROM PRINCE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN TIFTON, GEORGIA. THIS VEHICLE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION FROM ITS PREVIOUS ONE OWNER. HOWEVER, WHEN I RETURNED HOME TO ROME, GEORGIA ON APRIL 20TH, 2014 I NOTICED A TYPE OF ?STICKINESS? TO THE DASH BOARD AREA. I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK AND ON THAT TUESDAY, APRIL 22ND, MY SUPERVISOR, CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER [XXX] WANTED TO LOOK AT MY NEW CAR. I SHOWED HIM MY VEHICLE AND ALSO POINTED OUT THE STICKINESS ON THE DASH BOARD. BOTH HE AND I ASSUMED THAT SOMEONE SPILLED SOMETHING ON IT. THE STICKINESS WAS LOCATED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. ON APRIL 27TH, 2014 I DROVE MY VEHICLE ON A TRIP TO SOUTH FLORIDA TO SEE MY SISTER GRADUATE COLLEGE. WHEN I RETURNED, ON MAY 5TH I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT WASHED AND CLEAN THE INSIDE. WHILE WIPING OFF THE DASHBOARD I NOTICED THE STICKINESS AGAIN AND MY FINGERNAIL SWIPED ACROSS THE DASH AND LEFT A GASH IN THE DASHBOARD. I DO NOT HAVE LONG NAILS. I THEN BEGAN TO FEEL AROUND ON THE DASHBOARD AND NOTICED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WAS SOFT AND COULD BE EASILY DESTROYED. I THEN KNEW THAT THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING SOMEONE HAD SPILLED ON THE DASH AND REALIZED THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DASH BOARD. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH IT AND FOUND ARTICLE AFTER ARTICLE ONLINE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WERE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN NAMED A ?MELTING DASHBOARD?. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER AUTO DEALER'S VEHICLES AS WELL AS TOYOTA'S. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT OTHER DEALERS HAVE REPLACED THE DASH BOARDS AND HAVE CALLED THEM DEFECTIVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 23000 MILES CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND I PAID TO HAVE THEM RESURFACED. 8000 MILES LATER THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN WITH THE RESULTING SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS.CHECKING ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRODUCTS AND I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE SUBSTANDARD AND A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE ROTORS WITH QUALITY ONES AND UPGRADE THE ROTORS IN ALL CARS BUILT FROM THIS TIME ON. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE
MY CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL. AFTER EACH OIL CHANGE FOR THE PAST YEAR THE OIL IN MY ENGINE WOULD DISAPPEAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK THREE TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE OIL DISAPPEARING. EACH TIME, THEY WOULD TOP IT OFF WITH OIL AND TELL ME TO DRIVE IT FOR 1000 MILES AND BRING IT BACK. FINALLY, THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AND AN INSPECTOR WOULD COME OUT FROM TOYOTA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION IF MY ENGINE COULD BE REPAIRED OR IF IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT IF MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN CERTIFIED, THE COST WOULD BE MINE. THEY PAID FOR IT. THIS MARKED THE THIRD MAJOR REPAIR ON A 2010 CAMRY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 40,000. THE REAR BRAKES WERE STICKING AND THE BEARINGS IN THE FRONT WHEELS HAD TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BLOWING OUT. RIDICULOUS! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN ITS FOLDED, UP POSITION AGAINST THE ROOF OF THE CAR. IT WILL FALL DOWN IMPEDING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC. NO DAMAGE OR MISUSE HAS OCCURRED AND THE VISOR IS RARELY USED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SEVERE PROBLEM WERE THE VISOR TO FALL AT AN IMPROPER TIME, E.G. WHEN A VEHICLE BREAKS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS SEEMINGLY MINOR DEFECT IS PUTTING MULTIPLE LIVES IN JEOPARDY. PLEASE REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED LATELY THAT WHEN I DEPRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL, IT STARTS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN, BUT SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND I HAVE TO DEPRESS MUCH HARDER. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES LET GO. I KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EARLIER MODELS AND THEIR BRAKES, IS IT POSSIBLE IT WOULD EXTEND TO 2012 CAMRY HYBRIDS? *TR

MY CAR HAS ONLY 42453 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES INSPECTED DUE TO ROUGH BRAKING AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL OF THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING BADLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 AND NEWER MODELS OF THE CAMRY AND I AM ALSO AWARE THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND INSPECTION AT SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND NOT ONCE HAVE THEY MENTIONED THE LEAKING STRUTS. WHEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT BRAKE SHOP THEY STATED THAT IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE LEAKING HAS GONE ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. PLEASE DO A RECALL BEFORE SEVERE DAMAGE IS DONE AND MAKE TOYOTA PAY FOR THEIR SHODDY STRUTS AND ROTORS! I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1500 FOR A MISTAKE THAT THEY MADE! EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO AND INVESTIGATED ONLINE WITH SAY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER AND TOYOTA IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT. PLEASE RECALL!!!! *TR

WHEN HAVING MY ANNUAL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT MY STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY GIVEN BY TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,500 MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THERE IS NO WAY THE STRUTS SHOULD BE LEAKING. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER IN CASE THERE IS ONE IN THE FUTURE. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, TOYOTA'S WITH LOW MILEAGE HAVING LEAKING STRUTS. I GUESS TOYOTA DOESN'T CARE AB OUT OBVIOUS PARTS DEFECTS UNTIL MULTIPLE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES DUE TO THE DEFECTS. *TR
