VISIBILITY/WIPER

TIRE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THAT ALL FOUR SHOULD BE REPLACED. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER (CAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), WHERE DEALER SAID HE WOULD REPLACE ONLY LEFT FRONT STRUT, AND THAT SOME LEAKING WAS ACCEPTABLE (MANUFACTURER'S POLICY). STRUT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNED, AS IS IMPORTANT WHENEVER STRUTS ARE REPLACED. ALSO, IT'S NOT GOOD PRACTICE TO REPLACE ONLY ONE STRUT--NO ONE REPLACES ONLY ONE TIRE (OR ON OLDER CARS, ONE SHOCK ABSORBER) FOR THE SAME REASON--IT CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS IMBALANCE. TOYOTA'S LEAKING STRUT POLICY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION, AND WAS TOLD 3 OUT OF 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I EXPECT TOP QUALITY FROM TOYOTA AND AM VERY DISPLEASED BY THIS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INVEST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON-ROUTINE SERVICE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN, AND I WILL VOICE MY CONCERNS TO EVERYONE I KNOW. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL), FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INCLUDED AND WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE STRUTS, ALL 4 ARE LEAKING. DEALER WOULD ONLY REPLACE 1 STRUT AND STATED LEAKING STRUTS ARE NORMAL. EVIDENCE OF PENDING STRUT FAILURE IS THE RAPID DETERIATION OF THE TIRES ON ALL 4 WHEELS. INDEPENDENT GARAGE CONFIRMED STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON CAMRY PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SOMETIME IN 2012 FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE STRUTS/SHOCKS WERE LEAKING OIL AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENCE MECHANIC THAT THE STRUTS OIL LEAKING PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON TO THE NEWER CAMRY (2010 MODEL) AND IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOKE THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED THE STRUTS, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS "NORMAL OIL EVAPORATION" SO THE STRUTS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHEN OIL IS LEAKED OUT OF A "O RING" FROM STRUT CASING/HOUSING, IT IS A LEAK, AND IT IS NOT "NORMAL EVAPORATION". IS TOYOTA PLAYING GAME WORD GAME ("NORMAL EVAPORATION") TO AVOID WARRANTY COVER TO IT CUSTOMERS (BECAUSE TOO MANY 2010 CARS HAVING OIL LEAKING PROBLEM)? WOULD IT BE A SAFETY ISSUE LATER ON? *TR

AIR BAGS
DURING A SHORT TRIP THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THE LIGHT APPEARED, WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO TOYOTA 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS. THE RESPONSE IS THAT WHILE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR PASSENGERS SHOULD FIRST SIT IN THE CAR AND BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT BEFORE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. I HAVE CONTACT THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER AND WHILE THEY FIRST AGREED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL THEY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICIAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT MOVEMENT OF A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT CAN CAUSE THE (MALFUNCTION) SRS LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I HAVE ASKED WHY THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST 3-1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND DON'T GET ANY ANSWER. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE SRS LIGHT CAN COME ON WHILE ON AN EXTENDED TRIP AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR

AIR BAGS
I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. SHOT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FLEW INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AND TREE. THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BUT MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THANK GOD FOR MY SEAT BELT. I TRULY DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH THE TYPE OF IMPACT AND THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED, BUT ALLSTATE TOTALED MY CAR AS THEY SAID AT LEAST $11,000 WORTH DAMAGES WERE DONE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I ENTERED A PARKING SPOT AND WAS MOVING SLOWLY TOWARD PARKING LOT'S WALL AT THE MINIMAL SPEED JUST ABOVE ZERO (0) MPH, SUDDENLY CAR INCREASED A SPEED IN A SECOND ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A PARKING LOT WALL - SHORT DISTANCE & SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION DIDN'T ALLOW TIME TO PRESS THE BRAKES. CAR'S WHOLE FRONT IS DAMAGED: HOOD, LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD GLASS (BROKEN BY MY HEAD), RADIATOR AND BUMPER. ALSO, AFTER THE CRUSH SMOKE/STEAM WAS COMING OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR JAMED. I SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY AS A RESULT THAT AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY BODY WAS PROJECTED INTO A WINDSHIELD. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAMRY BOUNCING, SWAYING, PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR AXLES SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PULSING OR ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA IS NOT REPORTING THE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. BRAKE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATING AND TOYOTA ASSURED ME MY CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED BUT THE DEALER FIRST BLAMED THE TIRES AND BALANCING. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE LOUD SNOW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SERVICE SPECIALIST. THEY BLAMED IT ON TIRE NOISES AND SAID THE SEE YOU IN THE SPRING WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TIRES AND THEY SPECIALIST SAID YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. I CHANGED THE TIRES TWO DAYS LATER AND RETURNED ON MONDAY. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND SAID NOTHING BUT THEY WILL BE TALKING THE TOYOTA SPECIALIST. I HEARD NOTHING FOR A WEEK AND I HAD TO CALL THEM ON AGAIN ON MONDAY (TODAY). THE SERVICE MANAGERS SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MAILING OVER THE WEEKEND. I KNEW THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WERE HIDING SOMETHING. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A SECOND TOYOTA DEALER AS THE SPECIALIST RECOMMEND. THE SECOND DEALER ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUES BEFORE I GOT THERE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE MY CAR, NOT A MECHANIC TEST, AND ALSO BLAMED THE SNOW TIRES. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO ASKING WHAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE CLOSER TO HOME FOR ME. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA AND OPENED TWO CASES. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF THE CLASSES AND OTHER INFORMATION, THEY SAID THAT WAS FOR IN-HOUSE USE ONLY AND I COULD NOT HAVE THE INFO. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2010 CAMRY INTO TOYOTA FOR THEM TO CHECK OUT MY STRUTS. I WAS INFORMED THEY WERE LEAKING WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES DONE. TOYOTAS MECHANIC AND SERVICE REP BOTH AGREED ALL 4 STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO LEAKAGE AND THEY BOTH ALSO AGREED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ALL 4 STRUTS GO AT THE SAME TIME AND AT A LOW MILEAGE (39K). I CHECKED WITH SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS, AS WELL AS OTHER CAR DEALERSHIPS (NOT TOYOTA), AND ALL AGREED....4 STRUTS NEEDING REPLACING AT 39K WAS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! OF COURSE, MY WARRANTY RAN OUT APPROX. 6MONTHS AND 3K MILES AGO. I AM SURE THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING THEN, BUT I WASN'T MADE AWARE UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. TOYOTA OFFERED TO HELP WITH THE COST ,BUT THE TOTAL BILL IS SO HIGH IT IS JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET. I FEEL THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE ALL 4 STRUTS AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I AM A REPEAT TOYOTA OWNER AND BOUGHT THE CAMRY BECAUSE IT IS KNOWN AS BEING RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE. NOW TOYOTA WON'T BACK UP THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES ONLINE ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTAS STRUTS. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO CORRECT A PROBLEM WHICH BRINGS THEM NEGATIVE PUBLICITY, BUT I GUESS THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR...EVEN AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS AND RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. THEIR REPUTATION HAS GONE DOWNHILL FAST. ITS A SHAME...THINKING ABOUT GOING WITH A HONDA. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT THAT CONNECTED TO THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE STREET AND BRAKING AT AROUND 15 MPH I NOTICED A CREAKING NOISE. THE NOISE CONTINUED WHILE BRAKING, AND GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND UNEVEN PAVEMENTS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN TOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE BODY STRUCTURE WAS MESSED UP. THE (A-PILLAR) WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN FRAME. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP TO BE WELDED, THEY ALSO SAID AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK SAYING IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE 2007-2011 TOYOTA MODELS. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
ON MY WAY TO WORK ON NEW YEARS EVE 2012 I LOST CONTROL OF MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WENT OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND SUFFERED IMMEDIATELY NOTICABLE INJURIES TO MY FACE, ARMS, CHEST AND KNEES. THE POLICE SAID I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT, NO MATTER WHAT! ON TOP OF THAT, THE DINGER THAT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NO SEATBELT ON IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALONE WOULD CAUSE ME TO PUT IT ON. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO A DINGER FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND NOT PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CLIPPED ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE DINGER BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOCK BECAUSE MY INJURIES INDICATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRUISING OR MARKS FROM A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD HAD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH A SEALTBELT THAT WORKED AND AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WHERE THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE FIRST WAS A REAREND THAT SHOVED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AFTER INSURANCE LOOKED AT THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. *TR
