MILDEW SMELL COMING FROM AIR VENT EVERY TIME USING THE AC. USING AIR REFRESHER GIVES ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM IS WORST IN VERY HOT SUMMER DAY. I HAVE A 2 MONTHS NEWBORN WHO RIDES THE CAR AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS HEALTH CONCERN.

I PURCHASED A 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HYBRID ON NOVEMBER 3, 2014. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE EMITS A FOUL ORDER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, AND TOYOTA IS STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO DO A FOAM CLEAN OF THE SYSTEM AND INSTALL A CHARCOAL FILTER FOR THE TUNE OF $150 WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND WE ARE JUST NOW COMING IN TO WARM WEATHER IN MY PART OF THE US, SO THAT'S WHY I'M NOTICING THE SMELL AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND FAILED TO STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST, RIGHT ARM, AND LEG INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE CRASH SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR HESITATES FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT RATHER RANDOMLY. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ONCE A DAY (2 HOURS OF DRIVING). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY OR GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AROUND 15 TO 25 MPH. AFTER THE HESITATION THE CAR TAKES OFF VERY FAST. THE PATTERN SEEMS TO BE IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY AS IF TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION AND THEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL TO COAST (NO BRAKE APPLIED) AND THEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST DAY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SO IT IS NOT A WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY, MANY NEAR MISS SITUATIONS. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB SO IT IS NOT JUST ME. I EVEN FOUND ONE SITE WHERE A TOYOTA SERVICE REP SAID THEY SEE 40 TO 50 CARS A WEEK WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY KEEP TURNING THEM AWAY SAYING THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO MAKE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN WHEN IT IS IN FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

ENGINE
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014, INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY -- WHEN I AM PAUSED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, FOR EXAMPLE SITTING IN LEFT TURN LANE OR IN FREEWAY ON-RAMP WAITING FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC; WHEN TRAFFIC OPENS UP AND I CAN GO, I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BARELY RESPONDS; MOVES FORWARD VERY SLOWLY; RPMS VERY LOW; CAMRY IS IN NO HURRY AND THE BREAK IN TRAFFIC IS RAPIDLY CLOSING; AFTER 0.5 TO 1.5 SECOND DELAY ALWAYS GETS ME NERVOUS; I STOMP ON THE GAS AND FINALLY CAMRY RPMS INCREASE, SHE DOWNSHIFTS AND AT LAST I TAKE OFF BUT BY THIS TIME I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SOMEBODY BECAUSE THE CAMRY CANNOT GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY. COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THEY NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS WEEK TOOK IT TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS; HE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS AN AFTERMARKET FIX FOR THIS (APEXI P/N 417-A021 FOR $65 AT WWW.APEXI-USA.COM) AND SUGGESTED I NOTIFY NHTSA AND TAKE THIS INFORMATION TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND DEMAND REPAIR. THIS IS NOT MY IMAGINATION; THIS IS KNOWN DEFECT, REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS, DANGEROUS, AND REPAIRABLE.

SEATS
AFTER AP. 45 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, DRIVER'S SEAT WARMER (PREVIOUSLY OFF) TURNED ON AND WENT TO HIGH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART A BIT LATER. ON THE WAY HOME, SAME THING HAPPENED TO PASSENGER SEAT. CAR AGAIN WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THEN DRIVER'S SEAT WARMED UP (BUT NOT TO HIGH THIS TIME). THIS ON AN 80 DEGREE DAY. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH 39000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REGARDING A SHUDDER/JITTER FEELING AT STEADY SPEEDS OF 40-55 MPH. EVEN WITH LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.THE FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST DROVE MY CAR AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING SO I DECIDED TO ASK THE TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME. HE DID NOTICE A JITTER FEELING HOWEVER SINCE HE COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE JITTER MULTIPLE TIMES HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. SINCE TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM HOWEVER I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS I'M AFRAID THAT THE SHUDDER/JITTER FEELING MIGHT CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR END ME.

DRIVING AT 50MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUNSHOT. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ONLY TO HEAR A RATTLING NOISE, I SLID BACK THE SUNROOF COVER TO NOTICE THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA TO NO AVAIL, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO RECALLS. I GOOGLED THE 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY EXPLODING, LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CRUSE CONTROL ON THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES, DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON HILLS OR INCLINES. WHEN SET AT A SPEED IT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN THE HILL. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING KILLED. I HAD A COROLLA BEFORE THAT HAD SAME PROBLEM MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS A CAMRY THAT ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ONE OF THE SALES PERSONS AT L & S TOYOTA IN BECKLEY, WV. HE SAID ALL TOYOTAS WITH THIS TYPE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON A HILL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN USING CRUSE ON INTER STATE 64 SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MILES PER HR. VEHICLE WILL BE DOING 80 BEFORE YOU KNOW IT IF YOU DON'T NOTICE IT IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW FAST YOU WOULD BE GOING. ACCIDENTS COULD ALREADY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM USING A DATE BELOW TO CONTINUE

REAR VIEW MIRROR, NIGHT TIME DRIVING, VIEWING OF VEHICLES APPROACHING FROM REAR IS DISTORTED BY THE BRIGHT IMAGE THAT APPEARS IN THE MIRROR. THIS MAKE DRIVING UNSAFE AS YOUR EYES HAVE TO READJUST TO VIEWING THE ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. PLUS IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOURS.

TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDERS UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE BETWEEN 25-60MPH. REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER TWICE AND TRANSMISSION ONCE AND VEHICLE STILL SHUDDERS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT WILL SHUDDER ON EXPRESSWAY ON RAMPS INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING AS APPROPRIATE. SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR SOME 12-14 CAMRYS BUT NONE AVAILABLE FOR MY VIN. VEHICLE HAS 13,000 MILES AND PROBLEM STARTED AT 9,000 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE.

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THERE'S A MOLD PROBLEM IN THE AC. IT SMELLS AWEFUL. THE CHEMICAL SPRAY THEY USE TO FIX IT DOESN'T WORK. WHEN THEY SPRAY IT, IT SMELLS EVEN WORSE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT THEN IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. IT COSTS $100 EACH TREATMENT. SPENT $$ TRYING OTHER PRODUCTS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. VERY COSTLY AND NO REMEDY.
