STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED A USED 2016 CAMRY HYBRID XLE IN OCTOBER 2016, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE BETWEEN AXLES, IT PRODUCES A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE MOON ROOF AREA WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA BUILT MANY DEFECTIVE VEHICLES WITH POOR SUNROOF FRAME INSTALLATION, AND THE CUSTOMER IS HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DRIVE A NEW SHITTY CAR THAT MAKES NOISES ALL THE TIME. IT IS RATHER UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF, AND THE NHTSA SHOULD MAKE TOYOTA RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES TO TEACH THE MANUFACTURER A LESSON. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER, AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THERE IS A REPAIR PROCEDURE INCLUDED IN TSB 0151-13 HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO DEAL WITH CAR MANUFACTURER'S INADEQUACY, BECAUSE THEIR INSPECTION PROGRAM IS WORTHLESS. ALL THAT I WANT IS TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, AND ENJOY A NICE RIDE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE IN SLOW MOTION AS TRYING TO MOVE OVER FROM AN ENTRANCE LANE TO A TRAFFIC LANE THE CAR WILL STALL (BOGS DOWN) WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ALSO WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM ALMOST A STOP TO ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN LATE 2015 WHEN 2016 VEHICLES HAD ALREADY CAME OUT AND THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS EXISTED AND HAPPENS EVERY DAY THAT IT IS DRIVEN. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AND HAVE ARGUED THIS WITH DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD (WITH THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL) THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ACCELERATION (BEGINS TO DECELERATE) DESPITE CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DRIVER MUST RELEASE THEIR FOOT FROM THE PEDAL AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. THE CAR ACCELERATES (SOMETIMES WITH HESITANCY) AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL JERK AS THE ENGINE REVS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE DISPLAYED. I CHANGED THE ENGINE AIR FILTER (THOUGH IT WAS NOT YET DUE FOR ITS NEXT CHANGE) AND I CLEANED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WITH THE THE APPROPRIATE SPRAY. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED (WITH 3 SEPARATE DRIVERS). IT WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY AND ADDING A BOTTLE OF HEET TO THE GAS TANK. I ADDED ISO-HEET TO THE GAS TANK AND TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY WITH THE APPROPRIATE CLEANER AND ADDED A BOTTLE OF SEAFOAM TO THE GAS TANK. NONE OF THESE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A TEST DRIVE AND OBD-II SCAN. AGAIN, NO CODES. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OTHER OPTIONS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATES (GIVING NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER BEHIND ME, E.G. BRAKE LIGHT), THIS IS A REAR END ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. VERY SCARY.

STEERING
WHEN I START TO DRIVE MY CAR THE STEERING EITHER GOES TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT. IT IS HAPPENING PERIODICALLY. I HAD IT CHECKED, HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND THEY COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BUT DRIVING ON THE STREET IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE IS GRABBING THE STEERING WHEEL AND PULLING IT TO EITHER SIDE.

STEERING
WHILE I WAS TAKING A 360 DEGREE EXIT RAMP AT 35 MPH MY STEERING COLUMN COLLAPSED AND I GOT CONTROL BARLEY BEFORE I HIT THE CURB AROUND THE MEDIAN. I STOPPED AND RE-LOCKED THE MECHANISM. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER AS I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY 55 MPH THE CAR ROLLED OVER TWO EXPANSION JOINTS THE LOCK AGAIN RELEASED THE STEERING WHEEL SHOT UP THE COLUMN COLLAPSED I BARLEY GOT CONTROL AGAIN JUST AVOIDING SIDE SWIPING A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. IS THIS PART A SAFETY ITEM LIKE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS ? IS THIS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOSEN ITSELF WHILE YOUR DRIVING ? PLEASE FORGIVE ME MY SCANNER IS NOT WORKING, IF YOU NEED THE REPAIR ORDER PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL MAIL IT TO YOU.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE 2016 CAMRY, IT JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS, THE RED WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT CAME UP ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG YELLOW LIGHT ALWAYS SAYS AIR BAG IS OFF NO MATTER IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SETTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT ( PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED ) , WHICH MEANS IT WILL NOT INFLATES IN CASE OF ACCIDENT AND WILL JEOPARDIZE AND RISK PEOPLE LIFE . I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE COUPLE OF TIMES AND TALKED TO MANAGERS THERE, AND THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE ,BOTTOM LINE THEY SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, THEY EVEN REFUSED TO SEND ME A WRITTEN LETTER STATING THAT, THEY SAID THEY WILL KEEP THE VOICE RECORDS WHICH I'M NOT SURE IF THEY KEPT OR NOT, ITS VERY SHAMEFUL AND SAD THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY ON SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD GET PEOPLE KILLED IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS AND THE AIR BAGS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY . TOYOTA INCIDENT# 190515-000353 SHOULD HAVE THE RECORDINGS FOR MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA MANAGERS WHO COULDN'T BE ANY RUDER AND INCONSIDERATE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES, KEEPING IN MIND ALL THE RECALL THEY DID FOR THE AIRBAGS RECENTLY.

STEERING
THE STEERING STARTED PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED AND DRIVEN . WOULD STOP AFTER THE THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE BATTERY IS LOW ON AMPS AND YOU TURN ON THE IGNITION THE LOW AMPS MESSES UP THE ELECYRICAL POWER ASSIST OR THE STEERING SENCER AND LOCKS THE STEERING PROBLEM IN WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND THEN IT"S RUNNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL ALTERANOR. BECAUSE IS YOU PULL OVER AND STOP AND RESTART THE CAR SOME TIMES IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM TILL YOU RESTART THE CAR. I REPLACED THE LOW AMP BATTERY AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. TOOK TOYATO TOMATO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED WITH A VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR WIRE CHANGE DIRECTLY TO THE ALT. REAL DANGERS PROBLEM ALMOST PULLED ME IN TO THE OTHER LANE!!!!
