ENGINE
IN 2013, I SUSPECTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION & ASKED THE MB SERVICE CENTER TO BEGIN INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE WARRANTY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WAS STILL ACTIVE. I RETURNED AFTER DRIVING 1,000-1,200 MILES & WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THERE WAS A TRUE ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $800 TO OPEN THE ENGINE. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. IN EARLY 2016, I RECEIVED THE T-SB-0158-14 SERVICE BULLETIN FROM TOYOTA NOTIFYING ME THAT I COULD TAKE THE CAR IN TO HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE RESOLVED AT NO COST. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE CULVER CITY LOCATION, BUT I RETURNED 3 HOURS LATER TO FIND THAT NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE. A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE TEAM ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE THEY COULD BEGIN THE CONSUMPTION TEST. THIS IS MY FIRST ISSUE WITH TOYOTA'S SERVICE. TOYOTA SHIFTED THE RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THIS OIL LEAK FIXED ON TO ME EVEN THOUGH I MADE THEM AWARE OF AN OIL RELATED ISSUE MORE THAN 2 YEARS PRIOR. A KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE CENTER MEMBER WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT DEFECTIVE PISTONS AND RINGS IS A DIRECTLY RELATED CAUSE OF A LEAK. BEING THAT I WAS NOT A KNOWLEDGEABLE CONSUMER AT THAT TIME, THE SERVICE CENTER WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THIS RESPONSIBILITY ON TO ME. I HAD THE OIL LEAK REPAIRED AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED A 3RD TIME WHEN I CALLED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT IN NOVEMBER 2016. THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE ASKED WHAT THE REASON WAS FOR MY VISIT. I EXPLAINED THAT I WANTED TO COME BACK TO INITIATE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WAS ADVISED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE CUT OFF AND THAT THEY WERE NOT REPAIRING ANY MORE VEHICLES AFTER OCTOBER 31, 2016. THIS IS MY SECOND ISSUE WITH CULVER CITY TOYOTA'S SERVICE. THERE WAS SECONDARY COVERAGE AVAILABLE FOR ME AT THAT TIME AND I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT OPTION. MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS

MY TOYOTA 2007 CAMRY IS LEAKING EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, THERE WAS A RECALL , BUT I DID NOT GET NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM ,UNTIL I WAS ONLINE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO FIND OUT WHY MY CAR, WAS REQUIRING SO MUCH OIL, I SAW A ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, I NOTIFIED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR MAR JACOBS IN DURHAM N.C. MAR JACOBS STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO EXCEPT TRY TO GE ME TO BUY A NEW CAR, NO THANKS , I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED, BECAUSE THIS AFFECTS MY ENGINE AND IF WANT TO SALE MY CAR THE VALUE GOES DOWN, BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I AM CONSTANTLY BUYING OIL FOR MY CAR EVERY WEEK , WHICH ADDS UP IN PRICE. I WOULD LIKE OR TOYOTA HONOR THE RECALL , ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WAS FAULTY, FELL DOWN, AND BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE DEALER (JONES JUNCTION TOYOTA, 1508 BEL AIR ROAD #2000, BEL AIR, MD, 410-879-6400) AND THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED SINCE OUR ORGINAL TELEPHONE CALL WITH YOUR OFFICE, WE HAD THE BROKE VISOR REPLACED. WE HAD NO CHOICE SINCE WE COULDN'T SEE PROPERLY WITH THE VISOR IN THE WAY-THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. ATTACHED IS THE RECEIPT. THE DEALER GAVE US A SMALL DISCOUNT FROM THE REGULAR PRICE, BUT WE FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY TOYOTA AT NO COST TO US. UPDATED 10/30/18*JB

TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THEIR "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" TEST ON MY CAR IN 2016 TO SEE IF IT QUALIFIED FOR THEIR KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION COVERAGE AND REPAIR. IT DID NOT SEE THEIR CRITERIA. NOW MY CAR IS CONSUMING 1 QUART OF OIL NEARLY EVERY 1000 MILES AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE
TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED ON 2011 IN ITS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT THE ENGINE DEFECT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE. IT REQUIRES A PISTON ASSEMBLY CHANGE TO MINIMIZE OIL CONSUMPTION HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR IT AT THEIR OWN COST, THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT REPAIR COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE DUE TO AN ARBITRARY 150,000 MILE LIMIT AND A VERY LIMITED TIME WINDOW BETWEEN 2015 TO 2016, AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON REPAIRS. THIS ALSO DIMINSHES THE VALUE OF MY CAR AND MORE IMPORTANTLY EXPOSES OUR FAMILY TO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL, AND THE ENGINE BECOMES COMPLETELY DEPLETED OF OIL AT THE TIME OF AN OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3,000 MILES) WHICH CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE IN A MOVING VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX.

TAKATA RECALL..MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DEVELOPED A SHINY STICKY COAT OVER SEVERAL MONTHS WHICH COVERS THE ENTIRE DASH. THE SHININESS OBSTRUCTS DRIVING VISIBILITY AND I HAVE FOUND NOTHING ON THE MARKET TO CLEAN THIS AREA. THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME FROM FLORIDA AND WAS GARAGE KEPT WHEN I PURCHASED. SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY IS MELTING AND GIVING OFF FUMES THAT WE CAN SMELL AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A COUGHS SINCE THIS HAPPENED. THE FUMES ARE COATING THE INSIDE OF OUR WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND TOYOTA JAPAN AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN WE HAD DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.

ALMOST A COLLISION. I HAVE A DASH THAT IS STICKY AND THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTING OFF THE STICKY DASH IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT EVEN HAPPENS ACCIDENT NIGHT WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS REFLECT OFF THE DASH. I HAVE HAD THE CAT IN MOTION AND STABLE AND HAVE HAD NEAR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BIT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MAKER. I HOPE AND PRAY IT DOES NOT TAKE A DEATH OR SEVERAL DEATHS BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN TO GET THIS MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU. (XXXXX).

MELTING DASHBOARD. BOUGHT A USED 2007 CAMRY. THOUGHT THE DASHBOARD WAS JUST OVERDONE WITH ARMOUR ALL. FOUND OUT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS BUT THE DANGEROUS GLARE IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN. CALLED TOYOTA. THEY SAID THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT ON THIS DEFECT BEING FIXED. THEY HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS A DEFECT BUT WONT FIX IT.

SINCE MOVING TO SAN ANTONIO, TX 8/30/16 MY DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN MELTING AND HAS BECOME TACKY AND SHINY. THE GLARE HITS MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT TIMES. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR RECALL REPAIRS ON 10/31/16 AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT UNTIL 10/25/17 AND WAS INFORMED I MISSED THE 5/25/17 DEADLINE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE.
