SINCE THE PAST 60 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN A POPPING, CREAKING AND METAL FLEXING NOISE EMANATING FROM THE ROOF PANEL ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED WHEN CROSSING OVER ANY UNEVEN PAVEMENT SURFACE, THE NOISE BEGAN AT 40,000 MILES, 4000 MILES AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TOYOTA MODELS ESPECIALLY THE CAMRY AND HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE MODEL YEAR 2007 WITH SUN/MOON ROOF INSTALLATIONS, ON CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO THE SUNROOF FRAME/GUIDE RAILS/INSULATION AND HAVE REPAIRED IT ON IT NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALL BEING UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ON MY VEHICLE I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, ON CONTACTING TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, PER MY RESEARCH THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED IN SOME CASES TO THE SUNROOF SHATTERING CAUSING A MAJOR DRIVING AND HEALTH HAZARD AND POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURIES FROM COLLISIONS AND/OR CUTS FROM SHATTERING GLASS. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SUN/MOON ROOF AND REFUSE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CLAIMING EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON JANUARY 18, 2010 MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY, SE MODEL FROM ARLINGTON TOYOTA, JACKSONVILLE, FL. A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, TOYOTA COMPANY RECALLED THIS VEHICLE MODEL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR GETS JAMMED ON THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA CAMRY TO ARLINGTON TOYOTA ON JULY 8, 2010 TO RESOLVE THE RECALL PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. ON JUNE 27, 2012, ABOUT 7:00 P.M., MY WIFE AND I WENT TO TIRE PLUS CAR CARE, JUST WEST OF HODGES BLVD ON ATLANTIC BLVD AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVE. MY WIFE AND I WERE APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AS SHE WAS SLOWLY PARKING, AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40 ? 50 MILES AN HOUR HITTING THE CURB, THE TREE AND IRRIGATION PIPE ON THE MOUND OF LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AT HOME, AFTER WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE TO TIRE PLUS TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES ON MY CAR, I DISCUSSED THE ACCIDENT SCENARIO WITH MY WIFE. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PARKING AND SHE FIRMLY SAID NO. HER REACTION TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BEING SO CLOSE TO THE PARKING CURB, WAS TO STOP THE CAR AND THEREFORE SHE WOULD HAVE JUST HIT THE BRAKE FIRMLY AS HER RIGHT FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TURNED-IN TO RESOLVE THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ON THE FLOOR-MAT MAY STILL HAVE PROBLEM OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AND ESCALATE OUR EXPERIENCE SO WE COULD HOPEFULLY WARN OTHER OWNERS AND HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY OCCUR TO CONSUMERS BY A RECALLED VEHICLE THAT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE DRIVER/FRONT SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MOUNTING BRACKETS. THE DRIVER/FRONT VISOR HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED FORCEFULLY AND DEFECTIVENESS OF PART(S) SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA AS TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT THROUGH A TECH BULLETIN: T-SB-0284-09 AUGUST 21, 2009 SUNVISOR MOUNT LOOSE FOR 2007-2010 CAMRY. PER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AS MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36K MILE WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RE: THIS DEFECT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO REQUEST A FIX UNTIL MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED 36K MILES. ALSO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT TOYOTA AT 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 30K AND 36K MILES AND AT NO POINT WAS I INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS BROKEN SUNVISOR IS A SAFETY RISK AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES, MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. THEN I HAD MY 2009 CAMRY INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AT 60,000 MILES THE STRUTS WERE ALSO LEAKING. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED ON THE 2010 CAMRY, THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT BEGAN TO LEAK SEVERE TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HAVING 800 MILES AND A MONTH OF USE ON THE NEW STRUT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY STRUTS AND THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN ON OF THE CARS. *JB

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I PURCHASED A CAMRY IN JANUARY 2010, AND 2 YEARS LATER I NEED NEW TIRES. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THIS COULD BE NORMAL, BUT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED 2 OTHER NEW CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO BUY TIRES. THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF MY TIRE IS COMPLETELY BALD. I REGULARLY ROTATE MY TIRES AND GET THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHEN DRIVING BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE ABOUT MY SITUATION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT BECAUSE A WORKER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THE CAMRY'S THAT HE HAS SEEN. *TR
