POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION WILL APPEAR TO DISENGAGE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF IN COLD OR AFTER SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS (9-10 HRS.). STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR WILL FEEL AND APPEAR TO START OFF NORMALLY, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE, AND THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOU FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT OR EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 3,000 MILE - CURRENT MILEAGE 87,000. DEALER CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR DUPLICATE. I HAVE DUPLICATED IT FOR THEM ONCE DURING THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THEM FOR REPAIRS AND TESTING.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES FAILED ON THIS CAR JANUARY 6, 2016, CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH THE REAR END OF A TRUCK WHILE GOING ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. I WAS IN NORMAL TRAFFIC, ON A CITY STREET, COMING TO A SLOW STOP, AND AS I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 15 FEET IN FRONT OF ME, WAITING IN LINE FOR THE TURN LANE, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE, WHICH WAS HARD AS A ROCK. HOWEVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP; CONSEQUENTLY, I HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. I WAS GOING SO SLOW THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT, ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED ABOUT $1200 IN DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY EITHER THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR OR THE BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SEEN BY A TOYOTA CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVE WHO STATED IN WRITING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE FLUID RESERVOIR FILTER. HOWEVER, THERE IS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE-1), NUMBER POL14-04, FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AND SKID CONTROL ECU/BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR. OUR VIN IS LISTED IN THE GROUP OF AFFECTED VEHICLES.

SUSPENSION
PURCHASED 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LE NEW AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE TIRE MAINT. FOR 24K MILES AND IT WAS CUPPING TIRES OUT AT 15K THEY REPLACED THEM AND 15K LATER CUPPED AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT THEY DID ALIGNMENT SO WHAT THEN, TRIED TO FILE LAWSUIT AND WAS TURNED DOWN AFTER TOYOTA SENT SOMEONE DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT SINCE THEN EVERY 15-20K MILES NEW TIRES GO ON BECAUSE THEY ARE CUPPED TOYOTA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG NOW THE CAR HAS 150K MILES AND I'M ON MY 7TH SET OF TIRES, HAVE USED ANYTHING FROM A 80K MILES YOKOHAMA DOWN TO THE CHEAPEST SET OF SUMITOMO TIRES AND IT DOESN'T MAKE VERY MUCH DIFFERENCE AS TO THE MILEAGE YOU GET FROM A SET, THERE HAVE BEEN OVER A DOZEN 4 WHEEL ALIGHNMENTS DONE AND THEY HAVE BEEN BALANCED HUNDREDS OF TIMES NOTHING HELPS. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES AND THEY LASTED 15K. ON THIS SET OF TIRES THAT IS ON THE CAR NOW I LET THE TIRE DEALER TAKE OVER THE MAINT. AND THEY ROADFORCE BALANCE AND ROTATE EVERY 5K MILES AND IT HASN'T HELPED ANY, THE TIRES ARE CUPPED BAD AND THEY ARE AT 20K MILES NOW. I AM CHANGING ALL THE STRUTS AND ALIGNMENT AGAIN TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR WILL SPONTANEOUSLY FALL DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY. THE LOCKING MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO STAY IN ONE PLACE IS DEFECTIVE AND IT IS UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN THE UP POSITION. THIS ALSO CREATES A HAZARD GETTING INTO THE CAR, AS A TALLER INDIVIDUAL INEVITABLY WILL SLAM HIS HEAD ON THE VISOR AS IT IS ALWAYS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY BAD HEAD-ON COLLISION AND BOTH LEG AND STEERING WHEEL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON THE STREET AND THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY BECAUSE A SCHOOL BUS CUT HIM OFF. I WAS WEARING A SEAT-BELT. THE FORCE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WAS SO GREAT THAT IT KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS. THE AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED BY MY LEGS HAS LEFT ME WITH SOME OF THE WORST BRUISING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND SUBSTANTIAL PAIN. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES OF BOTH THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND MY SUBSEQUENT INJURIES. THE ER DOCTORS, ORTHOPEDIC DOCTOR, NEUROLOGIST AND EMTS THOUGHT THAT THESE INJURIES WERE UNUSUAL AND NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE NORMAL RESULT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT) RECALL. I ONLY FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CERTAIN POPULATION OF 2011 CAMRYS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE 2011 CAMRY TO HAVE ISSUE AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED VIA DIFFERENT FORUMS AND HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEIR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.
