STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
FEELS LIKE I AM ALWAYS TRAVELING ON A HEADWIND WITH MY STEERING ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO WANDER SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS TIRING AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THE CAR GOES ONE WAY, WHILE I WANT IT TO GO ANOTHER WAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE A FEW DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NO RESOLVE. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HERE IS THE LINK... HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/310-7TH-GENERATION-2012/420139-CAMRY-2012-STEERING-PROBLEM.HTML PLEASE HELP! I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I AM SURE OTHERS WHO DRIVE MY CAR FEEL THE SAME WAY.

WHEELS
ALUMINUM TIRE RIMS BIND TO THE STEEL BRAKE DISKS THEY MOUNT ON MAKING THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OFF IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO INCLUDE A LEVER OR HAMMER OR SOME WAY TO PREVENT THIS. I HAD A FLAT ON A BUSY FREEWAY, THE STICKING TIRE MADE A DANGEROUS MOMENT A LOT WORSE.

ON 4/15/16 DEALER DIAGNOSED MY 2012 CAMRY WITH 28K MILES WITH THE MOON ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE RATTLE. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR $1300. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SUBJECT OF TSB 0151-13. I ONLY HEARD THE POP WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT WAS WORSE ON SUNNY/HOT DAYS. I WOULD HEAR THE POP WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING AT LOWER SPEEDS.

ENGINE
I AM GETTING A FLUTTER WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AS I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE WHEEL, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THE SECOND TIME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, A MECHANIC RODE WITH ME TO HEAR WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE STATED IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THAT THEY HAD REPLACED A FEW OF THEM. HE SAID THEY WOULD DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THEN REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER LATER THAT WEEK. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK LATER THAT DAY STATING MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL OF THE TORQUE CONVERTERS AND HE WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STILL COVER IT, BECAUSE THEY HAD COVERED OTHER VEHICLES. I RECEIVED A CALL BACK OVER A WEEK LATER TO STATE TOYOTA SAID THEY WOULD ONLY COVER HALF OF THE COST. THIS DEFECT IS SOMETHING TOYOTA IS FULLY AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THE COSTS FOR THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE GOOGLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF 2012 CAMRY'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS OF A MALFUNCTION THAT TOYOTA CAUSED. IF THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS, THEY MOST DEFINITELY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS. MY CAR WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED AND I HAVE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. TOYOTA DIDN'T SELL DEFECTIVE ENGINES BEFORE, BUT NOW THEY DO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. REGARDLESS IF MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T FALL IN LINE WITH THE RECALL LIST, I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO INCLUDE IT AND HAVE TOYOTA FIX MY CAR. I'M IN THE LAST YEAR OF PAYING FOR MY CAR AND I HAVE TO PUT OUT ALMOST $5,700.00 OUT FOR AN ENGINE? THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND COVER THEIR DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION.

STEERING
IN SPITE OF NEW BRAKES, 2 ALIGNMENTS AND 2 DIFFERENT SETS OF TIRES THE CAR, PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA IN DEC 2015, CONTINUES TO WANDER ALL OVER THE ROAD/TRACK POORLY AND WILL PULL QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN I BRAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD TWO CLOSE CALLS OF NEAR HITTING THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE PULL. THIS CAR WAS IN TENDED FOR MY TEENAGER BUT IN ALL GOOD CONSCIOUS THE ISSUE IS OF SUCH CONCERN I DO NOT FEEL IT WOULD BE SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. I HAVE THE TOYTOTA DEALER I PURCHASED FROM THAT MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TRADE IT IN AND ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER STATING THAT IT IS INHERENT TO THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. SUNROOF/MOONROOF MAKES A POPPING, THUMPING NOISE WHEN DRIVING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AS IF SOMETHING IS LOSE. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 23K MILES AND NO LONGER COVERED UNDER MFG WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN LEFT FOOT IS MOMENTARILY LEFT ON BRAKE WHILE DEPRESSING ACCELERATOR WITH RIGHT FOOT ACCELERATION BEGINS THEN STOPS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS CAUSING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROGRAM BUILT INTO THE CAMRY TO OFFSET "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" ISSUE. SO, THEY ADMITTED THEY ELIMINATED A MAJOR ISSUE WHILE CREATING ANOTHER ISSUE. TOYOTA'S LOGIC IS RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR WINDOW DEFROST QUIT WORKING. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID GROUND WIRE MELTED OFF GLASS. GROUND WIRE IS HOUSED INSIDE BACK PANEL. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT HAS AFFECT MY MIRRORS, AS THEY WILL ALSO NOT DEFROST. IN OHIO WE HAD OUR FIRST REAL SNOW FALL THE WEEK BEFORE AND THAT IS WHEN IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT I HAD NO REAR WINDOW OR SIDE MIRROR DEFROST. I CALLED METRO TOYOTA EXPLAINED PROBLEM AND THAT I BELIEVE IT WAS RELATED TO RECALLS THEY DID IN DECEMBER, BECAUSE PRIOR I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THEY ADVISED I BRING IT IN 1/21. I DID THAT AND THAT IS WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT RELATED TO RECALLS AND THAT I NEED TO HAVE GLASS REPLACED. CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN AND AREA THAT I HAVE NO IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. A REAR DEFROST SYSTEM NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE TIED TO THE AC ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY THEIR HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS, BUT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ME I AM SURE THAT IT WILL BE A GROWING CONCERN FOR OTHERS OR IT MAY ALREADY BE AND NOT REPORTED BECAUSE THEY TILL YOU IT'S RARE; BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT COVERED, YOU HAVE TO FIX IT! I PLAN TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
MY 2012 CAMRY HYBIRD WITH LEATHER SEATS. MY PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE WEIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS OCCUPANT, IE, IF OVER 200 LBS AND IT WILL PROBABLY WORK CORRECTLY. BUT IF THE EXITED OCCUPANT WAS LESS THAN 200 LBS, THE AIR BAG WILL ALARM AND MESSAGE FOR THE (FORMER OCCUPANT) PASSENGER TO USE THE SEAT BELT. I'M TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WARN ME THAT I MAY HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT SOMETHING THAT NEVER OCCURED BEFORE THEIR RECALL.
