SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TOYOTA CAMRY MAKES A SCARY NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR CONDITIONER. IT COMES ON AND OFF. IN ADDITION, IN 2018 THE NOISE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE WHOLE DASHBOARD SIGNS RED WITH A STRONG NOISE THAT APPEARS SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE. THEN, I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND CALL TOYOTA AND THEY ASK ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T OFFER TOWING. THAT DAY, I DROVE TO WORK AND ALL APPEARED NORMAL. THE NOISE COMES ONCES IN A WHILE AND GO AWAY. I AM NOT SURE HOW SERIOUS THIS THING IS AND WHAT TO DO NEXT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELO ON THIS. SOLOMON

I PURCHASED A NEW 2016 CAMRY IN MAY 2016, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE BETWEEN AXLES, IT PRODUCES A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FROM GOD KNOWS WHERE! I HAVE SPENT HOURS (FROM WORK WITH NO PAY) AT THE DEARERSHIP AND A TON OF MONIES TO GET NO SATISFACTION. I AM SUFFERING FROM PTSD AND THE NOISE & POPPING SOUNDS MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN. MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I HAD RAN OVER AN ANIMAL, HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP AND THESE ISSUES HAS CAUSE ME TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HIT STREET SIGNS & ON MANY OCCASIONS UNABLE TO PERFORM MY DUTIES AT WORK.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION: MY PARTNER AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, FRIGHTENING EXPLOSION ABOVE AND SLIGHTLY BEHIND FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER SEATS. THERE WASN'T ANY VISIBLE SIGN OF BROKEN WINDOWS, BODY DAMAGE OR A WOBBLY TIRE TO INDICATE THE CAUSE. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND US. WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND THE CAR TO HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NOR, WAS THERE ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN OPEN GRASSY AREAS. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS BEHIND OR ABOVE US TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS LOUD, SCARY NOISE. WE PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT TO EXAMINE THE CAR. WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR OR THE TIRES, BUT WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOOR, WE COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF BROKEN GLASS ABOVE US FROM THE AREA OF THE SUNROOF. THERE WAS A VERY LARGE RECTANGULAR AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF THAT WAS MISSING. THE SURROUNDING GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. LATER WE COULD HEAR THE LARGE SECTION OF GLASS SLIDING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE ABOVE THE SHADE COVER WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP OR STARTED UP AFTER HAVING STOPPED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ACCELERATOR IS ERRATIC. WE TURNING A CORNER AND ACCELERATING, AT FIRST NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE ACCELERATOR WILL HESITATE FOR A FULL SECOND OR MORE WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN HARD TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A NEW USED. CAR I RECENTLY PURCHASE FROM TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS I PAY A $140 DIAGNOSTIC FEE.

POWER TRAIN
A/C AND HEAT BLOWER NOT WORKING AT ALL. NOTHING COMES OUT OF ANY KIND. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS BOUGHT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT AND MY SISTER WHO BOUGHT THE SAME EXACT CAR AT THE SAME TIME IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WE LIVE IN 110 DEGREE WEATHER IN THE SUMMER AND 20 DEGREE WEATHER IN THE WINTER, THIS IS NEEDED AND DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HOW OUR 4 YEAR OLD CARS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER ON THE CAMRY ARE GROSSLY INACCURATE. DURING A RECENT ROAD TRIP UPON A ODOMETER SPEEDOMETER CHECKPOINT USED BY INTERSTATE TRUCK DRIVERS OF WHICH I AM ONE THE VEHICLE REVEALED THAT IT CALIBRATES ONE MILE AT 4900 FEET. TOYOTA WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS ON THREE SEPARATE SERVICE OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO CORRECT THIS DEFICIENCY. AS IT TURNS OUT THE TOYOTA CAMRY IS THE MOST RENTED MID-SIZED CAR IN NORTH AMERICA WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS CONSIDERABLE OVERCHARGING OF MILES. THIS DEFICIENCY ALSO CAUSES SIGNIFICANT OVERCHARGING OF INSURANCE RATES AND PREMATURE WEAR OF PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLES. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN CROSS CHECKED AGAINST GPS AND TOMTOM NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND REVEALED ITSELF TO BE AT LEAST 16 MILES PER HOUR OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS.. THE CARS OVER REPORTING OF SPEED, AND MILAGE INDICATES FALSE EPA MILAGE ESTIMATES. TOYOTA HAS NOT DISCOVERED ACCESS IN REPAIRING THIS ERROR.

STEERING
THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS STEERING ISSUES RELATED TO A BAD CELL IN BATTERY. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY PULLED RIGHT AND LEFT AND VEERED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. PULLING WAS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING. THE PULLING COULD BE EXTREME AT TIMES ESPECIALLY THEN TURNING, THE CAR WOULD PULL THE OTHER WAY. THE ISSUE WAS ERRATIC AND COULD NOT BE REPLICATED FOR THE CAR REPAIR SHOP. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED TWICE AND AN ALIGNMENT WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HELPFUL. CAME ACROSS INTERNET CAR BLOG THAT LINKED FAULTY BATTERY TO UNSAFE STEERING FOR CAMRY'S THEN FOUND MULTIPLE REFERENCES FOR THIS ISSUE ONLINE. CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY AND THE STEERING ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING LOUD NOISES WHEN MAKING TURNS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE ON STANDBY SUCH AS ON THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR INDICATES THAT THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2016 HAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MEANING IT DOES NOT RUN OF STEERING FLUID. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY 2020. MY CAR IS SALVAGED BUT IT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY REAR ENDED ON THE LEFT SIDE, ONLY EXTERNAL DAMAGE AND NO INTERNAL DAMAGE. THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE IS 62,000. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN OCCURRING ISSUE WITH ALL TOYOTA CAMRYS WITH ELECTRICAL STEERING. THE VEHICLE IS USED TO DRIVE TO GROCERY STORES, WORK, COLLEGE, AND ROAD TRIPS. ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION IS DONE ROUTINELY AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN RECENTLY CHANGED. I DON'T NOT SPEED ON MY TURNS AND I DON'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. I CURRENTLY DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S MAKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BUT I HOPE IT ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE.

STEERING
CAR SUDDENLY PULLED TO RIGHT, WOULDN'T HOLD CENTER. REALLY FELT IT DRIVING IN TOWN. STEERING FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS GRABBING AND RELEASING THE STEERING WHEEL. READ ON A FORUM THAT IT COULD BE THE BATTERY. REPLACED BATTERY (WHICH STARTED THE CAR JUST FINE) ... AND IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM AND THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL NOT REALIZE A WEAKENING BATTERY COULD BE THE ISSUE, RESULTING IN A RIP-OFF. NOT NORMALLY A COMPLAINER, BUT THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS!
