UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT IT WON'T STAY IN UP POSITION OR FULLY TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD EITHER. IT IS REALLY A VISIBILITY ISSUE BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO MEET THAT CRITERIA. I AM SURE THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SOME YEARS BACK, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE NHTSA OR TOYOTA WEBSITES.

CHECK VSC SYSTEM AS WELL AS ABS AND TIRE LIGHTS COME ON. KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. HAD A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, BUT WON'T HELP ME BECAUSE IT DIDN'T START TO OCCUR UNTIL 1 MONTH AFTER EXPIRATION DATE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR NEIGHBORHOODS THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO TO 0 INDICATING THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS UNKNOWN. NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING ALLOWS FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET STOPPED FOR SPEEDING. THE ABS MODULE IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING CLEAR CONDITIONS DURING A TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE STEERING BECAME HEAVIER. THE STEERING WHEEL NOW STICKS AT MULTIPLE POINTS AND DOES NOT TURN BACK TO CENTER WITHOUT HEAVY FORCE, IT ALSO RATTLES LOUDLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE 2018 CAMRY HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY CLUNKY THRU THE GEARS. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, SOMETIMES ITS DELAYED WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ITLL HESITATE BEFORE TAKING OFF. IV FOUND IF YOU PULSE THE GAS PEDDLE AND LET UP RIGHT AS IT STARTS TO HESITATE THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN ITLL KINDA AVOID IT BUT I'M NOT ALWAYS SUCH AN ACTIVE DRIVER. EVEN DOWN SHIFTING ITLL BE CLUNKY AND TAKE A SEC TO FULLY DO IT. LIKE IF YOU PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY THAT'S SLANTED UP YOU FIRST OF ALL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ENTER AND WHEN DOING THAT IT'S ALL SLOW AT DOWN SHIFTING THEN U GOTTA HIT THE GAS SOME TO GO UP THE DRIVEWAY AND IT'S ALL DELAYED AT ACCELERATING SO THE WHOLE PROCESS IS JUST CLUNKY AND DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. MAKES ME FEEL THE TRANSMISSION IS GONNA BURN OUT EARLY. THEY SAY THE 2018 MODELS AND UP USE SOME COMPUTERIZED TRANSMISSION...I JUST WANT TO IT RESPOND ACCORDINGLY AND TO NOT BE SO SLUGGISH ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES I'M SCARED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT WONT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY AND I'LL BE AT A CRAWLING SPEED TILL IT RESPONDS UNLESS I FLOOR IT FAST AND LET UP BEFORE IT REVS PAST 3 ON THE RPM THEN TAP IT AGAIN. IT'S LIKE IT WAKES IT UP OR SOMETHING I DONT UNDERSTAND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN LOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT PASSENGER SIDE SO I HAVE TO LOCK IT MANUALLY. WHEN UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. I HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE OR THE REAR SEAT TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN INCASE I NEED TO ACCESS THIS DOOR IN A HURRY. THIS ALSO APPLIES WHEN USING THE LOCKS MANUALLY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 107,000 MILE ON IT.

ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN 2015 I RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES FROM TOYOTA, INC. THE FIRST OF SEVERAL WERE THE SUN VISORS DEFECT. ALTHOUGH MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA FIXED IT WHEN THEY FIXED THE ENGINE CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IN 2015, IT CURRENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOESN'T STAY UP/DEFECTIVE. THE SECOND, THE DASHBOARD AREA WILL CRACK DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE WHICH IT HAS TINY CRACKS. HOWEVER, THE MAJOR WAS RECALL ON, ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. MECHANICSVILLE TOYOTA, 6546 MECHANICSVILLE TPKE. MECHANICSVILLE, VA FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOCK IF OIL CONSUMPTION ISN'T CHECKED AND ADDED REGULARLY.

DASHBOARD MELT - DASH WHEN HEATED BY SUN OR TEMPERATURE -MELTS AND TURNS INTO A GLOSSY GLUE CONSISTANCE WHICH REFLECTS ON WINDSHIELD AND PROHIBITS SIGHT THRU THE GLARE - PREVENTS DRIVER SIGHT AND SAFETY PAPER STICKS TO IT AND SO DOES ANY FLYING BUGS, TRASH, OR OTHER OBJECTS IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT MY 2007 CAMRY IN 2006 AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT TILL THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHEN THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO GET STICKY AND IS NOW FULLY STICKY AND GLOSSY TO THE POINT WHERE THE SUN REFLECTS OFF IT AND IS BLINDING. TOYOTA SAID THEY HAD A RECALL WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE ADDRESS WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IS THE SAME IN MY DRIVER'S LICENSE AND I NEVER CHANGED IT. I LIVE IN BUENA PARK SINCE 1991 AND MY DRIVERS LICENSE HAS THAT ADDRESS SINCE I WAS 18 (18 YEARS AGO). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE RECALL NEEDED AND ITS. OT THEIR CONCERN. I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THAT TOYOTA TAKES NO ACTION FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SHIFTS THE FAULT TO THE CONSUMER WHEN I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ANY ISSUES. SECONDLY WHEN THEY HAD THE GAS PEDAL RECALL I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY CUT THE PEDAL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND SAID A REPLACEMENT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE SINCE 2010 REQUESTED THE REPLACEMENT TILL 2011 AND THEY ALWAYS SAID IT IN BACK ORDER. I GAVE UP ASKING BECAUSE I GOT EXCUSES. WHEN I'M DRIVING MY FOOT SLIPS OFF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE ITS SHORTER. ITS HAZARDOUS WHEN YOUR MAKING A TURN AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY HIT THE GAS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE ROAD IS SLIPPERY IN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THESE CONCERNS AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT THERE ISNT ANYTHING THEY CAN DO.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE'S CLUSTER WOULD START GOING HAYWIRE - WITH THE SPEEDOMETER GOING TO ZERO, THE RPM FLUCTUATING, AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING COLD, AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND IN MOTION. THE A/C WOULD GO OUT AS WELL, AND THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THE CAR WOULD STILL RUN BUT THE CLUSTER WOULD FLICKER AS DESCRIBED. AFTER FLICKERING FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD RESUME AS NORMAL AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN AS I CONTINUED DRIVING. I HAD MY CAMRY INSPECTED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MALFUNCTIONING ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. I HAD ANOTHER ABS ACTUATOR PUT IN, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE CAR DUE TO THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE ABS WAS MALFUNCTIONING.
