EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF MOTOR OIL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. THEY HAVE SEALED THE OIL GAUGE AND WHEN I RETURN THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL; IT IS NOT. EVERY MONTH I HAVE TO PUT A QUART & A THIRD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AT THE MID-MARK OF THE OIL DIP STICK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS FOLLOWING THE CAR'S BUILT-IN NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND AS I GOT WITHIN ABOUT A MILE OF THE DESTINATION ADDRESS, IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DISPLAY DISAPPEARED. I USED MY SMART PHONE MAP TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT DISTRACTED, I BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD IF I HAD BEEN IN AN UNFAMILIAR AREA HAVING MY NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS AND MAP SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR

2018 CAMRY XSE V6 - IF THE CAR IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP AND YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS VERY ROUGH. IT IS MORE PRONOUNCED IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING UP A HILL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THE ROUGH 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT BEFORE THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP IS TO APPLY EXCESSIVE THROTTLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN AND LOCK WITH THE REMOTE KEY AND THE BUTTONS ON THE DOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARSON TOYOTA (1333 E 223RD ST, CARSON, CA 90745), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,406. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS JUST AT A STOPLIGHT. I WAS THE FIRST CAR. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DID NOT PICK UP SPEED FOR AT LEAST A FULL MINUTE. I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME WOULD RUN INTO MY CAR OR START HONKING BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING SO SLOW. IT HAPPENED AT THE STOP LIGHT PRIOR TOO, BUT IT WASN'T AS NOTICEABLE BECAUSE I RAN INTO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER AFTER I READ A REPORT ON CARS.COM THAT SAID THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE DUE TO A COMBINATION OF AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE GLITCH AND A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. I LATER READ THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL MAY NEED ADJUSTING BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL THINKS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 3/10/2018 AROUND 7:25PM WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, I WAS NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BARELY BEFORE IT HIT MY GARAGE DOOR BY STEPPING VERY HARD ON BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR DEADLY ACCIDENT IF THERE WERE ANY CHILDREN AROUND. I THOUGHT TOYOTA HAD ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY IT HAD NOT. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE EVENT ON MY SECURITY CAMERA.

AIR BAGS
ON NOVEMBER 4TH, 2017, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY THE POLICE REPORT TO BE A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIND THE PERSON WHO HIT MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF SPINNING ACROSS 7 LANES AND HITTING THE SUB-DIVIDERS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE BELOW. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE 8 AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. MY FACE WAS SLAMMED VERY HARD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT. WE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO AN INVESTIGATION, WHICH TOOK THEM MORE THAN 2 AND A HALF MONTHS, TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY. THEY SENT ME SOME DIAGRAMS AND OTHER INFORMATION WHICH WAS COMPLETELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS FROM THE TOYOTA INSPECTION DEPARTMENT. I RECENTLY SENT A LETTER TO TOYOTA CORPORATION REQUIRING A FAIR RESOLUTION TO MY SITUATION. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COPY OF THAT LETTER. EVERYBODY I SHOW THE CAR TO, INCLUDING BODY SHOPS AND MECHANICS, FELT THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY TO WALK AWAY ALIVE FROM THAT CAR. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, FEARING ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHERE THE OUTCOME MAY NOT BE THE SAME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND TOYOTA CORPORATION IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIRS, CAR RENTALS, AND OTHER EXPENSES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX], OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX]. I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ARRANGE FOR AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS CAMRY BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL ALMOST WEEKLY AND IS ALWAYS NEEDING TOYOTA'S SUGGESTED 5W 20 ADDED. IF THIS CAR WERE NOT CHECKED WEEKLY IT WOULD BURN UP. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING.HAS BEEN BEEN GOING ON SINCE 90000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE NOTICED EXCEESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE 2015 IS 2016 AND HAVE GONE THROUGH NUMEROUS REPAIRS ONLY TO STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LATEST ESTIMATE IS FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME ONE GUY ACTUALLY NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS LITERALLY BURNING UP RIGHT AFTER HE CHANGED THE OIL. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT WITH A TODDLER FOR HOURS, AS WELL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE CAR AT TIMES. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED MY CAR RANDOMLY SHAKING AND SMOKING IN TRAFFIC, AFTER WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. MY CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, MOST RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEK AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHO COULD FIX IT AND NOT KEEP RIPPING ME OFF. TO FIND OUT THERE WAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE BY TOYOTA AND NOTHING WAS SENT TO ME SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW THE LIVES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND/OR THEIR CUSTOMER FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, ARE ACTUALLY VALUED. THE NUMBER OF CAMRY'S MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO UNKNOWINGLY TRUSTING CONSUMERS IS BOTH SHOCKING AND SCARY.

STEERING
CAR SWERVING OUT OF CONTROL: I WAS DRIVING EAST ON THE MASS TURNPIKE ON A SOMEWHAT WET EVENING, 2/25/18, THROUGH MIST, WHEN I DROVE OVER AN AREA OF THE HIGHWAY THAT HAD A PATCHED SURFACE. I WAS GRIPPING THE WHEEL WITH TWO HANDS AT 4 O'CLOCK AND 8 O'CLOCK. MY HANDS, INCLUDING MY THUMBS, WERE WRAPPED AROUND THE WHEEL. AS THE CAR DROVE OVER THE SLIGHTLY UNEVEN SURFACE, IT BEGAN TO SWERVE, GOING A BIT OUT OF MY LANE. IT SWERVED 3 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. OTHER CARS AVOIDED ME, PREVENTING AN ACCIDENT. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND FOUND THIS EVENT TO BE QUITE UNUSUAL. I CALLED MY HUSBAND RIGHT AWAY TO EXPRESS ALARM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DISCONNECTED AND LODGED IN ANGLED, PARTIALLY DOWN POSITION WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO FULLY DISCONNECT VISOR AS IT WAS FULLY STUCK OTHERWISE. REVIEWING TONIGHT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS ERA CAMRY.
