FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY, WHICH I BOUGHT CERTIFIED USED IN JULY 2020 HAD A RECALL THAT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF AND ONLY FOUND OUT BECAUSE I CALLED THE DEALER ON SOMETHING UNRELATED. TOYOTA SAYS THEY SENT 1 LETTER TO ME, WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A FLAW OF THIS SIZE AND SAFETY IMPLICATION. IT IS NO. 20V682. TOYOTA DOES NOT YET HAVE A REMEDY FOR MY MODEL AND THEREFORE I'VE BEEN DRIVING WITH A CAR THAT COULD STALL AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEY DO NOT DEFINE HIGH SPEED. COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN [XXX] AND THE REMEDY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED, GIVEN THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THE RECALL. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AUTO WAS ORIGINALLY KEPT YEAR ROUND IN MINNESOTA. WE HAVE A PLACE IN ALAMO TX 2 YEARS AGO WE DROVE THE CAMRY DOWN TO TEXAS AND FLEW BACK TO MINNESOTA. WE LEFT THE CAR IN A GARAGE. THE FALL OF 2020 IS WHEN WE DISCOVERED WE HAD A STICKY DASH. WE CALLED TOYOTA IN PHARR TX THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THE TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR US TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGE. BECAUSE THE CAMRY WAS IN MN FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE, THE PROBLEM WASN'T DISCOVERED UNTIL THE FALL OF 2020, 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE TECHNITION AT PHARR TOYOTA SAYS THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THUS THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN TEXAS FOR 2 YEARS BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO LIGHT 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE DASH IS STICKY AND ITS A SHINY REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT RELECTS LIGHT, HAMPERING VISABILITY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. WE REQUEST TOYOTA FIX OUR DASH.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE REAR CAMERA SYSTEM. I GET A MESSAGE SAYING "RCD OFF" AND "RCD UNAVAILABLE." THE REAR CAMERA WORKS BUT IS MISSING THE YELLOW GRID LINES, AND IT DOES NOT ALERT IF A PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE IS APPROACHING FROM THE SIDE. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, WHETHER IT IS MOVING OR STAIONARY. THIS IS A SFAETY RISK BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS NOT ALERTED IF A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER VEHICLE IS APPROACHING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO VEHICLE DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH DURING DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2020 AND NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING IN OCTOBER 2020, BUT AS OF TODAY (FEB 21, 2021), IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE I AM DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON FEB 20, 2021, IT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IT FIRST IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1. ON ENTERING FREEWAY, CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR, & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY. THEN SEEMED TO ENGAGE, ACCELERATING. 2. ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL BECAME SPONGY, CAR COASTED FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET, THEN PEDAL ENGAGED, CAR ACCELERATED. OCCURRED THREE, 3, TIMES, DIFFERENT TRIPS. 3. ON TURNING RIGHT, ON CITY STREET, ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AS THO IT WOULD STALL. WORKED ITSELF OUT AND CONTINUED W/O FURTHER TROUBLE. 4. ON TWO OCCASIONS, ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY WHEN TURNING IT ON IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WEATHER WAS WARM, NOT A FACTOR. RAN SMOOTHLY AFTER A BLOCK. GAS PEDAL AGAIN FELT SPONGY WHILE CAR RAN ROUGH. DEALER HAS STATED THAT (1) "TRY USING NAME BRAND GAS" (TRIED; NO CHANGE), (2) FOR PROBS 1 & 2 ABOVE, "IT MUST BE THE NEW TRANSMISSION." NOW RECEIVED FUEL PUMP RECALL NOTICE, BUT TOYOTA HAS "NO REMEDY AVAILABLE"?! THIS IS UNSAFE - PEASE HELP!!

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I HAD A HORRIBLE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THERE WAS WATER POOLING IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT UNDER THE WEATHERTEC FLOOR MAT. THERE HAD BEEN A FEW DAYS OF RAIN BEFORE THIS.THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER A FEW WEEKS AND BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER THE WATER UNDER THE MATT IN THE BACK SEAT WAS FROZEN. THERE HAD BEEN SNOW IN MY AREA AT THIS TIME ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT AND NOW THEY ARE HOLDING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

WHENEVER THE AIR CONDTIONING SYSTEM IS USED, THERE IS A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL GETTING INTO THE CABIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 30K WARRANTY (CAR IS AT 24K MILES) OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THIS MAY POSE A HEALTH HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR, SINCE IT IS OBVIOUS SOME TYPE OF CHEMICAL IS GOING THRU THE A/C VENTS; AND THAT THE TOYORA DEALER IS NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY SERVICE.
