TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
BELTS SEPARATING ON TIRE. NORMAL IN-CITY DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE TIRE STARTED TO MAKE VERY LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING, STARTED TO BOUNCE, AND CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE STRAIGHT AND PUSHING MY CAR INTO THE RIGHT LANE ALMOST HITTING EVERY CAR PASSING ON THE RIGHT AS I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. THE BELTS WERE SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT REAR OF THE TIRE. THIS TIRE IS AN ANOMALY FROM THE OTHER TIRES AS IT HAD MADE A LOT OF TIRE NOISE FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR, BUT FIRESTONE SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE TIRE. NOTE, THE TIRES WERE IN PERFECT FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. NOW THAT THE BELTS ARE SEPARATED, FIRESTONE WILL NOT REPLACE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTIVE TIRE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS EASING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A BANK AND WAS NEARLY STOPPED WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. WITH A FULL PLATE GLASS WINDOW IN FRONT OF ME, I WRENCHED THE STEERING WHEEL AS FAST AND AS FAR TO THE RIGHT AS POSSIBLE AND DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THE CONCRETE PILLAR I THEN SAW IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF ME. THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY I HAD JUST USED TO ENTER THE PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THE BANK.I THEN PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE I HAD JUST LEFT AND GOT OUT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND TO SEE IF I HAD CAUSED ANY DAMAGE. THE ONLY REAL DAMAGE WAS A LIGHT ON THE LAWN I HAD EVIDENTLY KNOCKED LOOSE FROM ITS BASE AND TIRE TRACKS IN THE GRASS. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS UNDERNEATH WHERE A SCREW HOLDING SOME PLASTIC PARTS TOGETHER WAS LOST. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY; PEOPLE MAY GET KILLED AND PROPERTY MAY BE BADLY DAMAGED. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TANGLED WHENEVER IT IS PULLED OUT IN ORDER TO BUCKLE WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. NORMALLY YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE ADJUSTABLE SLIDE FOR THE SEAT BELT OH THE SIDE OF THE CAR UP AND DOWN REPEATEDLY IN ORDER TO GET THE SEAT BELT ENTANGLED IN ORDER TO USE IT PROPERLY. IT HAS NOW BECOME FULLY EXTENDED AND WILL NOT RETRACT AT ALL MAKING IT UNUSABLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2011 AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THEN. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS AN INTERNAL OPEN INSIDE CIRCUIT IN THE SIDE AIR BAG OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTEGRAL PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE COST WITH TAX IS $3400.00. OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH THE SEAT/AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
I WAS TRAVELING SW AROUND 35MPH AND ENTERED AN INTERSECTION WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. ANOTHER (UNLICENSED) DRIVER ALSO TRAVELING AT THE SAME SPEED ENTERED THE INTERSECTION TRAVELING NE, HIS LIGHT WAS RED, BUT HE RAN IT. MY FRONT END IMPACTED HIS DRIVERS SIDE (NEAR THE FRONT TIRE) BOTH OF HIS AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, YET NEITHER OF MINE DID. MY FRONT END (FRAME) BENT LIKE A V-SHAPE, AND FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR DRAINED ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. I HAD TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE CAR BY THE LOCAL EMT AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO EMERGENCY. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT WOULD LOVE TO SHARE ESPECIALLY TOYOTA, SO THEY CAN EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE AIR BAGS FAILED, AND PUT ME INTO WHAT IS GOING TO BE MONTHS OF THERAPY. *TR

AIR BAGS
I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY 2006 FROM MAPLE HILL AUTO GROUP IN KALAMAZOO, MI IN MARCH OF 2011. THE CAR HAD 49,202 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. WHEN I TEST DROVE IT, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I EXPRESSED CONCERN TO THE SALESMAN WHO INDICATED "OH, THAT'S JUST A SENSOR ISSUE, THAT CAN BE FIXED QUICKLY." I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH SOME RESERVATION ABOUT THE LIGHT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE LIGHT WAS OFF (THEY HAD TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO FIX). EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS IN AUGUST WHEN THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I RETURNED IT TO MAPLE HILL AUTO AND WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN THAT "THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT PART OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE FIXED. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD "TWEAK"IT AGAIN BUT IN EVIDENTLY THE ENTIRE FRONT SEAT MAY HAVE TO BE REMOVED AT A COST OF ABOUT $3000, WHICH OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE. SO THEY "TWEAKED" IT AGAIN AND IT WAS OKAY FOR A WHILE. NOW, JULY 2012, IT HAS COME BACK ON AGAIN. ON MY SALES AGREEMENT WITH MAPLE HILL AUTO IT STATES "DEALER WILL REPAIR AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE." OBVIOUSLY, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. THE CAR ONLY HAD 49,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ON ORIGINALLY. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY FOR CAMRYS IS SUPPOSED TO BE 60,0000 MILES FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED AND LIED TO BY THE DEALER WHO ONLY TOOK IT TO TOYOTA TO GET THE LIGHT TEMPORARILY OFF SO I WOULD BUY THE CAR. I BELIEVE THEY KNEW IT WAS A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE I BELIEVE TOYOTA TOLD THEM IT WOULD BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. NOW I FEEL STUCK AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A SEAT AND I DON'T FEEL A 2006 CAMRY I PAID $12,350 FOR SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT SAFETY? NOW I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN AN UNSAFE CAR, INCLUDING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN. I THINK MAPLE HILL AUTO SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO MYSELF. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THERE IS AN APPARENT ENGINEERING DESIGN DEFECT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON THE 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN A MINOR IMPACT WITH A DEER COMPLETELY WIPES OUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER IMPACT WITH THE DEER, USE OF THE BRAKE SENT THE CAR INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SIDEWAYS SLIDE. UTILIZING EVERY DEFENSIVE DRIVING TECHNIQUE I COULD, I RECOVERED THE CAR TO A FORWARD PATH ONLY TO TOUCH THE BRAKE AGAIN AND GO BACK INTO THE SIDEWAYS SLIDE. AFTER THREE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE CAR THE FOURTH BRAKE ATTEMPT SENT THE CAR INTO A SPIN OUT AND SLUNG IT INTO THE DITCH. THE DAMAGE FROM THIS IMPACT TOTALED THE CAR AND WAS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE FOR THE DRIVER. IT APPEARS THAT THE WIRING FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS IN THE WHEEL WELLS AND VULNERABLE TO MAJOR DAMAGE WITH A MINOR IMPACT. A BETTER PROTECTION OF THE WIRING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE IMPACT WITH THE DEER MUST HAVE SHORTED THE WIRING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT, WHEN I WENT TO REMOVE MY BELONGINGS FROM THE VEHICLE, IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH BOTH INSIDE AND OUT EVEN THOUGH THE TEMP WAS IN THE 30'S. I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GOING TO GO UP IN FLAMES AT ANY MOMENT. WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. PLEASE UTILIZE THIS INFORMATION TO HELP AVOID THIS SITUATION IN THE FUTURE. HAD THERE BEEN ANY OTHER VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THAT NIGHT I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THAT INCIDENT AND WITH OUT SOME PRIOR SNOW AND ICE DRIVING EXPERIENCE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE TREES WITH THE FIRST SLIDE. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE AND STOP IN THE SPACE. I HAD ALREADY MADE A RIGHT TURN AND WAS MOST OF THE WAY INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED JUMPING THE CURB, GOING DOWN INTO A 8 FT. DEEP DITCH AND COMING HALF WAY UP THE OTHER SIDE. *TR

SUSPENSION
MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, HAD ONLY 14,606 MILES AND DRIVEN 5 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR A NEW BATTERY. DEALER HOISTED IT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE RUBBER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS (LOWER SUSPENSION) WERE TEARING AND THEREFORE, BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. . COST: $988.38 LESS 10% DISCOUNT. THE RUBBER BUSHING FLEXES UP AND GOWN WHEN THE CONTROL ARM MOVES AND IS SUBJECT TO AGE DETERIORATION AND DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS LIKE SALT, SNOW, ETC. THE BUSHING IS ONLY PARTIALLY SHIELDED BY THE CAR FRAME. IF THE BUSHING TEARS MORE, THE CONTROL ARM COULD FALL AND THE CAR WOULD LOSE STEERING ABILITY - A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I SAW THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2006 CAMRY AND 1996 CAMRY ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE. I WROTE A LETTER TO TOYOTA ASKING IF THE RUBBER BUSHING ON THE NEW REPLACEMENT CONTROL ARMS I PURCHASED IS THE SAME POOR QUALITY AS THE ORIGINALS. ALSO, ARE THE NEW 2012 CAMRY'S EQUIPPED WITH SAME SHOCK CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS? I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA IN TORRANCE, CA DATED 12/12/11 SAYING THEY "REVIEWED AND DOCUMENTED" MY LETTER. WHEN I CALLED, THE TOYOTA QUALITY ASSURANCE CENTER, THE LADY SAID SHE HAS TO FIRST REVIEW MY COMPLAINT LETTER. AFTER 5 MINUTES SHE SAID SHE DID NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTROL ARM. DO NOT BUY ANY TOYOTA CAR WITHOUT FIRST PERSONALLY INSPECTING THE CONDITION OF BOTH CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS TOGETHER WITH THE MECHANIC HOLDING A FLASHLIGHT AND MIRROR, AT EVERY OIL CHANGE. MAKE THE SAME INSPECTION BEFORE THE 36,000/3 YEAR WARRANTY OR 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON REPLACEMENTS, EXPIRE! ANY INCIPIENT TEAR IS REASON FOR REPLACEMENT AT TOYOTA'S COST. A TINY TEAR SHOWS A LATENT DEFECT BECAUSE FRACTURE MECHANICS SAYS THE TEAR OR DEGRADATION OF THE RUBBER BUSHINGS WILL PROPAGATE. *TR UPDATED 04/07/14
