WHEELS
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN WET CONDITIONS, ON A FLAT, SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE, I HEARD A LOUD POP BUT THERE WAS NOT AN IMPACT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. APPROX. 30 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE, THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX 9,390K. I CONTACTED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY ARRIVED & CHANGED THE TIRE AND I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, TEAM TOYOTA IN GLEN MILLS, PA.

I LIVE IN MA , APON A EARLY NOVEMBER SLEET MY CAR DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. DISABLING MY ANTI CRASH SYSTEM WITH LIGHTS GOING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE I ALMOST CRASHED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SIX MONTH SERVICE AT 3850 MILES ON CAR SET FOR DAY AFTER VACATION. I TOOK CAR IN TO TOYOTA. EXPLAINED PROBLEMS AND TOLD THEM TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH. THEY CAME BACK TO ME TELLING ME THERE IS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION.. I LEFT CAR AT HYANNIS TOYOTA EXPECTING TO RECEIVE CAR BACK THAT DAY. SERVICE REP CALLED ME AT 530 TELLING ME THAT SINCE THE DAY I DROVE OFF THE LOT THERE ARE 9 PAGES OF DEFAULTS. CLAIMING DRIVER ERRORS. FIRST IT'S A RECALL, BUT LATER IN DAY DRIVER ERROR. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS MY 5TH LEASE WITH THEM. I DO KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND ON CAPE COD IN SUMMER I SIT IN TRAFFIC MOST OF THE TIME . THE SITUATION WITH SLEET WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH ON LOCAL STREETS. THAT WAS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP THAT SENSORS ARE SENSITIVE AND DIRT,HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW CAN CAUSE ANTI CRASH SYSTEMS TO DEACTIVATE. AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN ENGINE OFF AND APON RESTART THE SYSTEM WILL REACTIVATE ITSELF.BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION SELF ACCLAIMED RECALL AND NOW CALLED DRIVER ERROR. WHEN YOU NEED ANTI CRASH SYSTEM,THE ODDS OF IT NOT WORKING ARE PRETTY GOOD AS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP. I JUST WANT MY CAN REPAIRED AND SAFE.THE DATE IS APPROX

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH LIGHT/DARK ZONES WHEN FOCUSED FOR THE FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THERE IS LITTLE DIFFUSION OF LIGHT INTO THE UPPER{DARK} ZONE AND OBJECTS ABOVE THREE FEET OR SO ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AT 100 FEET. I RECENTLY PASSED A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ON THE ROAD SHOULDER, AND THE PERSON WAS ONLY VISIBLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN. STOP SIGNS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED, BUT THE POLES ARE. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK THE LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE SET TO THE DESIGN SPEC. I CONTACTED TOYOTA INC. AND WENT THROUGH THREE LAYERS OF PEOPLE TO BE TOLD THAT IT IS AS DESIGNED AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES IS HORRIBLE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT SPEEDS UP AND WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO GO MY RMP HITS ABOUT 4 BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. I SWARE OTHER CARS THINK I WANT TO RACE. I DID ADVICE THE SALES MEN WHEN HE ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CAR AND HE SAID BECAUSE OF A NEW MODLE OF TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE CAR SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT IS FINE ON THE HIGH WAY. I AM JUST DIAPPOINTED IN MY PURCHACE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT OF ALL 5 TOYOTAS IVE HAD THAT I WISH I WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I WAS FINE IN MY 2012 WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT.

THIS CAR HAS A VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO GO IN AND A VIBRATION OCCURS AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD A BIT. IN THESE CASES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HAS NEARLY HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES NOW. IN ADDITION TO THIS SHAKING THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS NEARLY STALLED ON ME AS WELL WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A ROUND-ABOUT IN WHICH I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE RIGHT AFTER. THIS RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS CAR AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR GETTING REAR-ENDED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I CAN TELL IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "NEUTRAL" AND COME TO A STOP, THE ISSUE NEVER HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 1500 MILES ON IT. THEY SPENT A DAY ON IT AND TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ONCE OR TWICE AFTER A LONG TEST-DRIVE. THEY'VE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NEW 2018 CAMRY'S THOUGH AS WELL, SO IT'S POSSIBLE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS. AFTER READING ONLINE, I CAN SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE RUNNING INTO THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE DAY FIRST DAY I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR AND STALLS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING THE WAY IT SHOULD. ESPECIALLY DURING BUMPER/BUMPER TRAFFIC. AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR. TENDS TO UPSHIFT AND WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT MIGHT TAKE A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT GOES AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT A FEW SECONDS IS AN ETERNITY (ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES AND THERE IS A CAR COMING).

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING A DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING CONDITION WITH REGARD TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, ESPECIALLY BAD ON A SUNNY DAY. NAMELY, THE SHINY CHROME DASH BOARD AIR VENTS ARE REFLECTED ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR. THE SAME PROBLEM IS SEEN BY THE DRIVER WHEN VIEWING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
HI I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER WITH 7,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW IT HAS ALMOST 8,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER 1 WEEK OF PURCHASE I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ENGINE BECAUSE I AM FEELING A LOSE OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AND NOT SMOOTH WHEN DRIVING ALSO IT IS NOISY WHEN YOU START THE CAR. ALSO WHEN AT A FULL STOP I CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE SHAKE AND WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND DRIVE AT 20 MPH YOU CAN FEEL THE PEDAL SHAKE. TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON DRIVE IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON DRIVE IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ON NEUTRAL DRIVING BECAUSE OF HOW ROUGH IT IS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. I ALSO WENT TO THE DEALER FOR THIS MATTER BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH TOYOTA BECAUSE MANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE TOYOTAS AND THEY NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOOD BUT THE LACK OF PERFORMANCE HAS DISAPPOINTED ME BECAUSE TOYOTAS HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION AND NOW THEY ARE JUST GIVING THAT ALL UP JUST TO SAVE MONEY ON FIXING THIS ISSUE THAT'S WHAT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE DOING. THATS WHY I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA AND THERE ENGINEERING BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THEY PUT IN TOO MUCH FOR THE REDESIGNED PART BUT NOT THE PERFORMANCE PART.

I TRIED TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HESITATED FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS BEFORE BEGINNING A VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION THAT PUT ME IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY ONCOMING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE, AND THE SECOND TIME I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WITH NO RESPONSE. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 3 MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

3 TIMES THE COLLISION PREVENTION STOP WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE HIGH WAY. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT ON TO FOR THE COLLISION PREVENTION SYSTEM TO WORK AGAIN. AND THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES GLITCH AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SHIFITS LIKE CRAZY. I FEEL IT SOMETIMES THAT CAR SOUNDS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT SHOULD SHIFT SMOOTHLY. AIR CONDITION WHEN IT ON COLD THE FAN CAN GIVE GOOD AIR STREEM WHICH IS GOOD BUT WHEN IT ON HEAT THE FAN IS SO SLOW AND IT DOESN'T GIVE GOOD AIR STREAMING. I WAS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO REPORT THIS TO GENERATE RECALL BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW UNTIL I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE.
