THE DASHBOARD ON THE 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS A DANGER FOR ANY OWNER. WITH THE DASHBOARD BEING STICKY/MELTING, WHEN LIGHT HITS THE DASHBOARD IT CAUSES MAJOR BLIND SPOTS THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE TO BE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU COULD POTENTIALLY RUN OVER PEOPLE OR HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD.

I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS THAT MY 09' CAMRY WITH 72K MILES SEEMED AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE GOOD CONTROL - LIKE IT WAS FLOATING ALL OVER THE ROAD, KIND OF LIKE A BOAT. I ALSO NOTICED A CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL WHEN GOING OVER ROAD BUMPS AT SLOW SPEED. I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED TIRES SO I WENT TO TIRE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC . TO MY DISBELIEF I WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS (LEFT AND RIGHT) WERE LEAKING AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT I REPLACE THEM. DEALER WANTED WAY TO MUCH MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENT SO I WENT WITH MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC REPLACED ALL FOUR STRUTS, SAID THAT THE COIL SPRINGS APPEARED TO BE OK. AFTERWARDS I HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I WENT ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP, AND MY CAR WAS DRIVING LIKE A NIGHTMARE! THE CAR HANDLING WAS WORSE, FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE ROAD, AND THE CREAKING NOISE WAS WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC EXAM AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED THE FRONT(LEFT AND RIGHT) STRUT MOUNTS REPLACED AND QUOTED A PRICE THAT WAS $200 LESS THAN I HAD PAID FOR STRUTS TO BE REPLACED. SO I WENT BACK TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC. HE REPLACED FRONT (LEFT AND RIGHT) STRUT MOUNTS, AND NOW THE CREAKING NOISE IS WORSE AND THE HANDLING ABOUT THE SAME - BAD. SINCE I OWNED THE CAR - BRAND NEW W/ 11 MILES - I AM OWN MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND HAVE TO HAVE IT BALANCED AND ALIGNED 2 OR MORE TIME A YEAR. I CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY (12/22/2015) AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME A DISCOUNT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIRS FOR THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO HAVE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA! OUR GOVERNMENT NEED TO STEP UP, DO THEIR JOBS AND IMPLEMENT AUTO RECALLS ON ALL DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

AT 76427 (3865 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE) THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DIP STICK WAS DRY. I TOOK IN TO MCQUIRE TOYOTA AND THEY STARTED A PHASE 1 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AT 1300 MILES I TOOK IT BACK, THEY ONLY ADDED 1 QUART OF OIL, IT PASSED THEIR TEST. THEN AFTER 2499 MILES THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE DIP STICK WAS DRY. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I CONSTANTLY CHECK THE OIL BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT THE OIL WILL GO DRY AND THE ENGINE WILL BLOW. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ONLY GET WORSE. AFTER 2499 MILES MY OIL LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE COMING ON AND THE DIP STICK SHOULD NOT BE DRY. TOYOTA'S OIL CONSUMPTION TEST MAY LOOK GOOD ON PAPER, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK IN REAL LIFE. I AM 63 TEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WHERE THIS HAPPENS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ALL IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE, SO I HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH OF IT. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR'S LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA AND THIS EMPLOYEE HELPED ME POUR IN 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL. THIS IS IN BETWEEN THE MAINTENANCE SCHEULE. AFTER GETTING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FROM TOYOTA, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA'S STANDARD IS THAT WE CAN LOSE A QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 1200 MILES. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THEM AFTER 1,000 MILES. THEY SAID THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST, I NOTICED THAT THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL TO MY CAR. THIS IS SO NOT NORMAL! I JUST RECEIVED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOTICE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF NOTIFYING US IF TOYOTA DENIES THAT OUR CARS HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THIS POWERFUL COMPANY IS BULLYING EVERYONE. A LAWSUIT DOES NOT HELP GET OUR CARS FIXED. PLEASE RECALL THE CARS. OTHERWISE, YOU ARE LETTING TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH BULLYING BEHAVIOR. THANKS!
