SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TWICE WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK THE CAR ABRUPTLY AND ON ITS OWN, ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I PUMPED ON THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT RESULT. I KEPT PUMPING AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVVED OVER AND OVER AND IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO ACTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY STOP REVVING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH GAVE A HUGE JOLT TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT EASILY. I HAD MY YOUNG SON IN THE CAR WITH ME AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. THE ENGINE ONLY STOPPED REVVING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHICH CAUSED A HUGE JOLT OF THE CAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO FALL AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. I PURCHASED ANOTHER DRIVER SIDE VISOR (ABOUT $85.00). LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE VISOR. I STILL HAD MY RECEIPT AT THE TIME, THEREFORE I SUBMITTED IT FOR A REFUND. WELL GUESS WHAT, THE REPLACEMENT VISOR DID NOT LAST LONG. IT STARTED TO FALL (2012) AND FOR A WHILE IT WOULD STAY UP WHEN I PUSHED IT BACK UP, UNLESS I HIT A POTHOLE OR A BUMP. NOW (2016) IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. I AM NOT HAPPY THAT I WILL NEED TO SPEND ESTIMATE $85 FOR A THIRD VISOR THAT WILL ONLY LAST FOR HOW LONG? FIRST TIME SINCE I OWNED A CAR (THIS IS MY THIRD CAR AND FIRST TOYOTA. LAST CAR I HAD FOR 14 YEARS.) THAT I HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF NON-MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH A CAR. I JUST HAD THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT REPLACED (SEPT. 2017) BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED NOR WOULD IT LOCK. IT JUST FELL OPEN WHILE I WAS PARKED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE AGAIN. THAT COST ME ALMOST $200 TO GET THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT, BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT BOX FROM TOYOTA COST WAS $600.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 5:45 A.M. ON 9-4-2017 AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, NOTHING WAS THROWN AT ME AND I WAS NOT UNDER AN OVERPASS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I EXAMINED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION OF THE VEHICLE'S GLASS AND DID NOT OBSERVE ANY ROCKS, BOTTLES OR OTHER ITEMS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE GLASS WAS CURVED/BOWED UPWARD INDICATING THAT AN OBJECT DID NOT HIT IT. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HOT IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING OVER 110 DEGREES, SO NOT SURE IF THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE GLASS SHATTERING. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING TOYOTA, WITH SEVERAL LAWSUITS AS WELL.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN. IT FELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP AND FALLS DOWN OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. IT ALSO FALLS DOWN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE IT FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE, WHICH IS TO BLOCK THE SUN. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT BUT HAS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON THE CAR'S MODEL YEAR AND DATE OF PURCHASE. MY CAR IS A 2010, AND MISSED BEING ELIGABLE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMANET BY 3 MONTHS. MY SUN VISOR IS JUST AS BROKEN AS THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THEIR CAR 3 MONTHS AFTER ME. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK NHTSA WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED DUE TO THIS BEING A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK TOYOTA WHY THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL, AS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW. AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY ARE ALL MODEL YEARS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM?

DASH BOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. CALLED TOYOTA BECAUSE FOUND WARRANTY INFORMATION AND THEY SAID THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MAY 2017. IN MAY, MY DASHBOARD WAS FINE. TODAY'S DATE IS AUGUST 22, 2017. DOES TOYOTA KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG THE DASHBOARD LASTS AND TERMINATE THEIR WARRANTY A MONTH PRIOR. CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO SHINY REFLECTION OF SUN.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
THIS CAR HAS REQUIRED 6 SETS OF TIRES IN LESS THAN 90,0000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON TO ROLL IT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. THE AIR CONDITIONER OCCASIONALLY SWITCHES ITSELF FROM RECYCLED TO FRESH AIR WHILE DRIVING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING RANDOM ALARM ABOUT SEATBELT WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED THERE. THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY TO THE TOUCH, AND CLOTH WOULD STICK TO IT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO WIPE IT CLEAN. THE DASHBOARD THEN DEVELOPED SEVERAL DEEP CRACKS, RUNNING ERRATICALLY LY FROM FRONT TO BACK. IN PLACES AROUND TRIM PIECES, DASHBOARD PLASTIC HAS FLAKED AWAY. PLASTIC ON THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE'S LID HAS CHIPPED AND FLAKED AWAY, AND CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND IT. PAINT ON TRIM OF CONSOLE HAS BUBBLED UP AND RUINED THE FINISH IN CONSOLE DRINK HOLDER LID. THE CD PLAYER MALFUNCTIONED, WITH A DISC READ ERROR REPORTED, THOUGH NO DISC WAS INSIDE THE PLAYER, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF SYSTEM. THE AUX AUDIO PORT FAILED AFTER ONLY A YEAR OF REGULAR USE. THE FLOOR MATS HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP WANTED TO PROVIDE RECALL SERVICE LIMITED TO SECURING THESE WITH A ZIP TIE. CARPETING BECAME STAINED AND FILTHY, AND COULD NOT BE EFFECTIVELY CLEANED, SO CARPETING HAD TO BE REPLACED BY OWNER. RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA BY THE OWNER HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO WEIGHT CAPACITY RATING STICKER, ALTHOUGH THIS WAS TOYOTA FINANCED VEHICLE AND OWNER'S ADDRESS REMAINS UNCHANGED. OTHERWISE, ALL RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED BY REGISTERED OWNER, HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO THOSE REPORTED BY NHTSA FOLLOWING OWNER'S REGISTRATION AT WEBSITE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS ROUTINELY BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE, DISMISSIVE, OR CONTENTIOUS WHEN WARRANTY SERVICE REQUESTS WERE MADE. DEALERSHIP OFFERS ONLY REASONS TO DENY WARRANTY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS.

SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 7 YEARS OF WARRANTY REPAIR. HOWEVER, MY VISOR FAILED 3 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE EXTENSION EXPIRED AND THE LOCAL DEALER AND TOYOTA AMERICA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OBSCURES THE DRIVER'S VISION.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE VISORS IN THE CAR. THE LAST REPLACEMENT ONLY 3 YEARS AGO (JULY 2014). THE SPRINGS KEEP BREAKING, AND THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP NOR WILL THEY STAY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THEREFORE, IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN WITH MY VISORS DOWN. THE ONLY REASON I EVER PUT THEM DOWN IS WHEN I PUT A THIN LITTLE SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT WORK. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE VISORS, MUCH LESS 3 TIMES.

DRIVER VISOR, AFTER IT IS EXTENDED TO THE SIDE, DOES FALL AND SAG FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD, COVERING A LOWER PORTION THAN NORMAL OF THE SIDE DRIVER WINDOW. VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE IS GREATLY REDUCED; IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING PERPENDICULARLY FROM THE LEFT SIDE, AND I AM A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVER. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND EVEN HAD A 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOW EVIDENT IN MY CAR, WHICH IS 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS JUST A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THIS ISSUE THAT CAN BE SEARCHED ONLINE

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP BUT FALLS INTO VIEW OF DRIVER OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY. TOYOTA RECALLED BUT IT RECURRED WITH 12 MONTHS. SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT COST $200.00 TO REPAIR AND REPAIR WILL BE DELAYED FOR MANY CAUSING HAZARD ON HIGHWAY. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM BY RECALL BUT ADVISES THAT THEY WILL FIX PROBLEM ONLY ONCE.

BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STATUP (1AR/2AR). PER TOYOTA T-SB-0041-13 -- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD STARTUP, SOME 2009-2013 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 1AR-FE AND 2AR-FE ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT A BRIEF KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE SECOND. FOLLOW THE REPAIR PROCEDURE BELOW TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS DUE TO WORN / LOOSE CAM GEARS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG MANY TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS ISSUES A TSB, BUT NOT A RECALL. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN CAUSE ENGINE STOPPAGE WHILE DRIVING.
