UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER TIME, MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND HAS BECOME STICKY. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CAUSES A REFLECTION OF MY DASHBOARD ON MY DRIVER'S WINDOW, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN I AM DRIVING (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SUNNY...AND I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA...WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT IS SUNNY.) I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE SENT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIX IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF AN EXPIRED WARRANTY (WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF...IF I WAS, I WOULD'VE FIXED IT ASAP). IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A CAMRY FROM BOB (XXXX) IN 2007. THE CAR STARTED CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL NOT LONG AFTER THE TOYOTA ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2014. I DID NOT GET A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. BOB (XXXX) INFORMED ME OF THE NEED TO RUN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN JULY 2015; WHICH WE DID. I WAS TOLD THE TEST "PASSED" EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON OVER & OVER AGAIN. I REQUESTED A 2ND TEST IN DEC 2015 AND I WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT THE CAR "PASSED" THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. FOR 3 YEARS I COMPLAINED TO BOB (XXXX) ABOUT THE SITUATION, INCLUDING THE CAR CHOKING WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BRAKE; OIL PRESSURE LIGHT; ENGINE LIGHT; HAVING TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR UPON DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO, ETC.. THIS ALL HAPPENED FROM 2015-2018. IN 2018, BOB (XXXX) TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL INSTEAD OF BURNING OIL. THIS WASN'T AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. SO, I WENT TO A TRUSTED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOOK A DETAIL LOOK AT MY CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AT ALL. I WENT BACK TO BOB (XXXX) & DEMANDED A 3RD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER MUCH ARGUING THEY AGREED TO IT. WE DID THE TEST AND IT FAILED IN DEC 2018. THIS CONFIRMED WHAT I KNEW ALL ALONG. YET THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO THE POINT WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER WAYNE (XXXX) REFUSED TO TAKE MY CALLS. THEY TELL ME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, WHICH IS VERY FITTING FOR THEM &TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA INC. WHO ALSO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2016. MY CAR IS BARELY AT 105,000 MILES WHICH IS BELOW THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY LIMIT OF 150,000 MILES OR 10 YRS. THE FACT THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY & WAS MISLEAD THE WHOLE TIME DID NOT COUNT FOR ANYTHING. OBVIOUSLY, THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE ENGINE & TO CAR OWNERS. REPAIRS ARE A MUST.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY GOING STRAIGHT AT 10 AM. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MILES/ HR WHEN I STEPPED FORCEFULLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED BUT I DID NOT LURCH FORWARD, MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN TO PULL ME BACK AND MY BAG PACK THAT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER LEATHER SEAT STAYED WHERE IT WAS. MY VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF I HAD NOT BRAKED. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, I COULD SEE ASPHALT BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. MY VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF MINE HAD DENTS ON THE REAR BUMPER AND THE TRUNK. THERE WAS A THIRD VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE ONE IN FRONT OF MINE THAT WAS ALSO DAMAGED, HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. THE IMPACT OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED WHICH DID NOT CAUSE MY SEAT BELT TO TIGHTEN AND DID NOT CAUSE MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS SAYING IT IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE, THAT HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT AND PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF POCKET. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A WARANTY ISSUE. IT'S NOT FAIR OR RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTION ISSUES THAT ARE FLAWED. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON WHEN IT IS LOW, SO IF I DON'T CHECK OFTEN THEN I AM IN DANGER WHEN I AM DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE, NOT TO BECOME A MECHANIC.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HORRIBLE LOW-BEAM LIGHTING. TOYOTA RESPONSE IS "GIVE ME OVER $1,000 AND WE WILL REPLACE FIXTURES". I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN THE LAST 54 YEARS (ONE FOR 18 YRS) AND NEVER HAD HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. TOYOTA OUGHT TO BE EMBARRASSED INTO AT LEAST REPLACING THEM AT COST. I'M GUESSING THE COATING ON THE LENS IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY VECHICLE YESTERDAY THAT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP SINCE SATURDAY SAYING THAT THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY MY BREAKS LOCKED UP ON I-95 AND I COULDN'T STOP. I GOT THE VECHICLE BACK YESTERDAY AND I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY BREAKS FAILED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD NOT STOP. ABSOLUTELY NO BREAKS!! THE VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE ABS BREAK ACULATOR / MODULE IN THE VECHICLE IS BAD. THE COMPANY WHOM I BOUGHT IT FROM I BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ACCIDENT CONSIDERING THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STATED THEY FIXED THE VECHICLE

AIR BAGS
I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE VEHICLE ON MY LEFT STOPPED. A FORD PICKUP CAME BARRELING OUT OF NOWHERE, SWERVING AROUND THE OTHER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE DRIVER WAS GOING FASTER THAN HE CLAIMED ON THE POLICE REPORT (INCLUDED). WE COLLIDED IN THE INTERSECTION FRONT-LEFT-TO-FRONT-RIGHT. MY CAR WAS SPUN AROUND ABOUT `50 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT, ENDING UP ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. THE OLTHER DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HE RECEIVED A CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD. MY TAKATA FRONT AND SIDECURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I WAS THROWN INTO THE DRIVER'S DOOR, BREAKING FOUR RIBS, A VERTEBRA, SHOULDER BLADE AND MY COLLARBONE. IN THE REBOUND TO THE RIGHT, MY RIGHT WRIST AND RIGHT ARM JUST ABOVE THE WRIST WERE BROKEN. THE FRACTURES WERE SET UNDER ANESTHESIA, AND I SPENT 8 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND ABOUT 7 WEEKS IN A CONVALESCENT/REHAB FACILITY. I AM NOW UNDERGOING WEEKLY OT FOR WEAKNESS, LACK OF MOBILITY, AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT HAND AND WRIST, AND POOR MOBILITY AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. AFTER STOPPING QUICK, THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I CHECKED THE OIL AND FOUND IT TO BE 2.5 QUARTS LOW. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS LESS THAN 2500 MILES AGO. EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION IS CAUSING A LOW OIL LIGHT AND POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND UPDATED PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT DUE TO MY VEHICLE BEING OVER 10 YEARS OLD, THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER WHO REGISTERED IT AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK LISTING MY ADDRESS ON ALL OF THE FORMS. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DEFECT. I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT FOR A FEW YEARS BUT SINCE I RARELY DRIVE DURING THE DAYTIME IT WASN'T AN ISSUE UNTIL MY SHIFT CHANGED. SO NOW IT'S BROKEN AND TODAY, YEARS LATER, TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE WARRANTY INFORMATION WAS SENT TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE LIVED SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. SINCE I DIDN'T REGISTER THE CAR AND ALL OF MY PAPERWORK HAD MY THEN AND STILL ADDRESS ON IT, I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SENT IT TO AN ADDRESS THAT WASN'T MINE. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME THE ADDRESS BUT REFERRED ME TO MY STATE' DMV, WHO ALSO WILL NOT GIVE ME THIS PHANTOM ADDRESS WHERE MY INFO WAS SENT. COLONIAL TOYOTA REGISTERED THE CAR FOR ME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MISTAKES WERE MADE IN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND NO WAY OF GETTING THE INFORMATION. TOYOTA IS DOING WHAT ALL BIG COMPANIES DO, PASS THE MISTAKES THEY MADE TO THE CONSUMER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ATOYOTA DEALER EVER AGAIN.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET MY BRAKES AND ROTORS CHANGED ,AROUND SEPTEMBER OF 2018, ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE TRACTION LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES . I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I HAD GOTTEN THE BRAKES DONE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE CAR , WHEN I GOT BACK MY CAR, THE VSC, TRACTION ,AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE ABS MODULE.
