MY CAR WOULD STALL AND COME TO A STOP UNPREDICTABLY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS AND DURING TURNS. THE CAR WOULD STALL AND COME TO A STOP. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE STARTED AFTER YOU SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TRY A COUPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO START AGAIN. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO TEST AND FIND STALLING HISTORY BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND TO PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TEST DRIVE AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER 2 WEEKS, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT AND COULDN'T WORK ON IT ANY FURTHER AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. AFTER TAKING THE CAR BACK, 2 DAYS LATER IT STALLED AGAIN AND IT WAS BROUGHT INTO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

BOUGHT THIS USED TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2013 YESTERDAY WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON IT. RIGHT AWAY, I HEARD CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD AND BY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IT'S NOT VERY LOUD BUT CAN BE HEARD AND VERY ANNOYING. IT'S AUDIBLE WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION ESPECIALLY WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, BRAKES AND WHEN TURNING. NOT NORMAL FOR A 3 YEAR OLD TO HAVE THIS INTERMITTENT AND ANNOYING CREAKING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY RESEARCHED ON IT AND TO MY SHOCK, THERE'S A LOT OF BLOGS AND POSTED VIDEOS ON THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE OF CREAKING SOUND BY THE DASHBOARD AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR MOST VEHICLES OF TOYOTA REGARDLESS OF MODEL AND DOMINANT ON THOSE MANUFACTURED SINCE 2013. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE A FIX ON THIS SINCE THIS IS A THREE YEAR OLD ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED CAR IN APRIL WITH 14,000 MILES. VEHICLE HESITATES AT RANDOM TIMES - THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONE TIME I WAS THE 3RD CAR BACK AT BUSY INTERSECTION WITH NO LEFT TURN ARROW. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT ALL THE CARS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION WAITED UNTIL I CLEARED THE INTERSECTION BEFORE GOING. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGES FROM GREEN TO RED, YOU ARE IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPART AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM ALL THEY COULD DO WAS HAVE A TECH GO ON A RIDE ALONG AND SEE IF IT HAPPENED. I TEST DROVE THE CAR 3 TIMES BEFORE BUYING IT. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM OR I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2003 CAMRY AND I NEVER HAD ONE MINUTE OF TROUBLE WITH IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION - SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED OR VERY BADLY INJURED - AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I USE IT TRANSPORT MY TWIN 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SCARED THIS CONDITION IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS IT HAS ALREADY ALMOST HAS AS I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION IT STALLED AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING CARS. I LOVE THE CAR BUT I AM SCARED FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE WHEN USING THE CAR. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

PURCHASED NEW CAMRY IN JUNE 2013 AND WHEN THE AC IS ON THERE IS A MOLD AND MILDEW SMELL THAT COMES FROM THE UNIT. SOMETIMES IT MAKES ME COUGH AND IT IRIRATES MY EYES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT FOUND A FIX FOR IT SO THEY WILL SIMPLY DEODORIZE THE SYSTEM EVER NOW AND THEN. LAST DEODORIZING WAS AUGUSTAUGUST 2014 BUT TODAY THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND THE AC IS ON THEN AFTER A WHILE THE SMELLS DECREASES. I READ THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS SO TOYOTA DEFINITELY KNOWS ABOUT THIS EMBARRASSING ODOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE EITHER ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY OR TURNING THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. NOTHING WORKS, CAR WONT START , KEY WILL NOT MOVE, GEAR IS STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES WITHIN A YEAR. THE DEALER HAS CHECK IT OUT BUT HAS NO ANSWER TO WHY IT HAPPENS. MY AIR-CONDITION FOGS UP THE WINDOW, AS SO DOES THE HEATER MAKING THE VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. THERE WAS ALSO A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN. ALL MY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BUT NOTHING DONE. MY FEAR IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WILL BE CAUSE BECAUSE OF THIS.

I WAS DROVE THE CAR FOR SHOPPING 25 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AT 9:00 AM. AT 11:50 AM, ON THE WAY BACK, THE BACK SHOOK SLIGHTLY AND MADE SMALL NOISES THAT WERE UNFAMILIAR. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE SHIFT GEAR WAS SET CORRECTLY AND WINDOWS WERE CLOSED, WHICH THEY WERE. THERE WAS NO UNUSUAL BLINKING OF DRIVER PANEL LIGHT INDICATING ANY TYPE OF WARNING. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DRIVE WAY AT 12:30PM, TURNING INTO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AS USUAL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND MY CAR RAN INTO THE GARAGE DOOR AND SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OCCASIONALLY, THE CAR HESITATES AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THE GAS PEDAL WILL BECOME UNRESPONSIVE WHILE STILL STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL GAIN SOME ACCELERATION AFTER RELEASING AND STEPPING ON IT AGAIN. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY RELEASE AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT IDLES FREQUENTLY PREVENTING ME FROM "MOVING FORWARD," UNTIL I REACH THE DESIRE SPEED LIMIT. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DISAPPOINTED ONCE AGAIN.

MY 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, BEHAVES THIS WAY ALMOST EVERY DAY. THE ACCELERATOR HESITATES/VIBRATES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PICKING UP SPEED BETWEEN 35 TO 45 MPH. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN AM PICKING UP FROM A COMPLETE STOP, EITHER AT A STOP SIGN OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A WHILE. I ALSO NOTICE IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE SPEED IS PICKING UP FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IT MAY DELAY FOR 1-2 SECONDS INTERMITTENTLY BUT STOPS ONCE IT 50 MPH OR MORE.
