I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE 30K MILES MAINTENANCE CHECK UP AND EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 38,500 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. COULD THIS BE A DEFECT, FOR I HAVE READ OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE? I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR (2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY). MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS STILL AFFECTED. SINCE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND HANGS STRAIGHT DOWN IT IMPACTS VISIBILITY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOW, THE VISOR HAS COME COMPLETELY OFF, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET IT TO STAY BACK UP. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-2011 CAMRYS FOR THIS ISSUE. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND BRACKET. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA, THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE OTHER CAMRYS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERING.

CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT IN FULL OR IN PART PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE STARTER MOTOR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES.

ENGINE
I HAVE THIS JERKING MOVEMENT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA IN WILSON, NC WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT IT STILL DOES THAT TODAY. I USED 87 OCTANE GAS, BUT I DID PUT 89 OCTANE IN THERE ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY WORK DONE WITHIN THE WARRANTY, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY. SO ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO WEAR OFF? ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD ALL THESE RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF CONCERNING THE TIRES, THE OVERLOADING CAPACITY ISSUES.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CAMRY SLE USED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN. 2014, MY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 55-70MPH. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED WHERE I PURCHASED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING CAUSING THE VIBRATION AND MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN (HIGH/LOW SPOTS IN ALL TIRES). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA (AFTER HAVING BEEN THERE THE WEEK BEFORE FOR A SERVICE) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ONLY LEAKING SLIGHTLY AND THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE AMOUNT LEAKING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY LEAKING ISSUES AT MY SERVICE AND IT WAS EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE CHECKED AND FINE. I REPLACED THE FRONT TWO TIRES AGAIN A BOUT A MONTH AGO THINKING IT MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TYPICALLY GET REPLACED AT $70,000 BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND THAT I SHOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED SINCE THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHENEVER I AM STOPPED AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION--ONLY WHEN RESUMING TRAVEL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHEN I FIRST GET INTO THE CAR AND BEGIN TRAVEL. I AM CONSCIOUS OF THIS AND REALLY TRY TO EASE DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT I STILL NOTICE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED, ONE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED (I AM IN MY 60S AND HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES.) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALSO DON'T WANT TO CAUSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF WHIPLASH OR DISCOMFORT WITH A SUDDEN START.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD CLOSE MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT WOULD HANG A LITTLE BIT. EVENTUALLY, IT STATED HANGING TO WHERE IT WAS ALWAYS DOWN. FINALLY, THE MOUNT (OR WHATEVER THE PART IS THAT IT CLIPS INTO) BROKE OFF SO I HAD TO REMOVE IT. NOW THAT IT IS MUCH SUNNIER MOST DAYS, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE SUN VISOR, ALSO, I AM NOW STARTING TO HEAR THE POPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND IT IS STARTING TO HANG A LITTLE BIT. *TR
