TAKATA RECALL WELL RECENTLY EVERYTIME I GO IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR ANYTHING AND I PRESS THE BRAKE, I HEAR 2 POPPING OR CLICKING NOISES. I DOUBT IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR TRANSMISSION. POSSIBLY THE SUSPENSION. NO POPPING NOISES OCCUR IF I'M IN DRIVE AND I BRAKE. IT'LL DO IT WHETHER I'M GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE IN REVERSE AND BRAKE, OR IF I'M TURNING IN REVERSE AND BRAKE.

TO USE THE DEFROST SETTING IN THE 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY, OUTSIDE AIR MUST BE ON. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS FEATURE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I OWNED AND IT IS NOT LIKE THIS IN THE 2018 MODELS. THIS MEANS WHEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, YOU MUST HAVE OUTSIDE AIR ON TO RUN THE DEFROSTERS. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST TO COME IN YOUR CAR. SINCE I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TX WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, RUNNING THE DEFROSTERS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE A HEADACHE MANY TIMES. IN 2017, IT SNOWED IN HOUSTON AND TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD, YOU HAD COLD OUTSIDE AIR COMING IN.

ABOUT 09-01-2018 WHEN BACKING UP, FRONT BREADS STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE, HAD OIL CHANGE ON 12-06-2018 AND BROUGHT IT THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE, THEY HAD IT CHECKED AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL BRAKE PAD SHIFT (DOCUMENTED ON SERVICE RECORD), THIS NOISE OF POPPING IS NOT NORMAL FOR A CAR WITH 25000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANY NOISE FROM BRAKE AREA, IF A BRAKE PAD SHIFT IS NORMAL THERE SHOULD BE A FIX IN PLACE TO ALLIVIATE THE NOISE

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, WARNING BELL SOUNDS AND THREE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CONSTANTLY: BRAKE, ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CENTER ERROR MESSAGE PANEL OF THE DASHBOARD CYCLES THROUGH THE THREE MESSAGES, AS SHOWN IN THE ACCOMPANYING PHOTOS. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, EVERY FEW MILES THERE IS AN APPARENT LOSS OF POWER, SLOWING THE VEHICLE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER DOES NOT RESTORE POWER. FULLY RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOES RESTORE POWER. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM OCTOBER 29, 2018, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY (NOW EVERY THREE DAYS ON AVERAGE) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I WILL BE HAVING A DEALER INVESTIGATE. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM DESCRIBED FOR THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ON OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINT FORUMS.

AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL WHERE THE EMBLEM IS LOCATED IS BUBBLING SIGNIFICANTLY. THE "CHROME" LOOKING PLASTIC ISN'T HOLDING UP TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAMRY. I WASH MY VEHICLE TWICE A MONTH, SO NOT TAKING CARE OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THE ISSUE BY ANY MEANS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NO LONGER ON MY COVERAGE FOR WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE COSMETIC ISSUES LIKE THIS AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF ITS 16 MONTH LIFE SPAN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE THAT OFTEN.

WHEN DRIVING OVER MEDIUM SIZED BUMPS IN THE DRIVEWAY, OR GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THE FRAME OF THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TWISTING AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN HERE A POPPING NOISE. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION, BUT MORE SO FROM THE TOP OF THE C-POST (REAR ROOF). I DO NOT FEEL IT IS A HUGE ISSUE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE BODY METAL IS BENDING EACH TIME. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP YET, BUT AFTER READING THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT DOESN'T SOUND TO ABNORMAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE CAMRY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT A NEW 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN APRIL 2017 AND SOON THEREAFTER STARTED NOTICING SOME UNUSUAL, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND JERKING DURING SLOWING DOWN/DECELERATION. THE CAR JERKS AND TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED AGAINST THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY AND/OR STOP, SPECIFICALLY NOTICEABLE AT 20 AND 30 MPH SPEEDS. DURING SLOW DOWN, SEEMS LIKE CAR SWITCHES GEAR ABNORMALLY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SLOWING DOWN GRADUALLY. IT TRIES TO MAINTAIN SPEED FOR AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME INSTEAD OF SMOOTHLY SLOWING DOWN WITH NO FOOT ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAUSING TOO MUCH USE OF BRAKE OVER AND OVER TO SLOW IT DOWN AND AVOID COLLISION WITH CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I AM CONTACTING YOU AFTER EXHAUSTING ALL MY EFFORTS TO CONVINCE DEALER AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE TO HAVE THEM TAKE THIS 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION' SAFETY CONCERN SERIOUSLY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I AM SURE LOTS OF 2017 CAMRY OWNERS ARE SUFFERING AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT CANNOT GET ANYWHERE WITH DEALER TECH SERVICES OR TOYOTA.

AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AGO, TOYOTA UPDATED ITS ENTUNE NAVIGATION SOFTWARE WITH A FLAWED SYSTEM UPDATE THAT ELIMINATED THE VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM FOR PHONES, NAVIGATION, ETC. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS TO-DATE FAILED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY PROBLEM, AS TOYOTA CUSTOMERS CAN NO LONGER PLACE OR MAKE CALLS OR SEEK DIRECTIONS VERBALLY. ALL COMMANDS MUST BE PHYSICALLY ENTERED ON THE SYSTEM OR A SMARTPHONE RESULTING IN A CLEAR DRIVER DISTRACTION AND SAFETY HAZARD.
