ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE STARTED TO BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013 AND NOW IN 2018 THERE ARE 2 CYLINDERS WITH LOW PRESSURE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE CAR IS NOT GIVING A CODE : CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND THE CAR CUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING, NO CONTROL OF BRAKES OR ACCELERATION, VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR JUST CUT COMPLETELY OFF AND ALL LIGHTS AND BELLS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ULTIMATELY BURNT THE ENGINE UP AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPAIR THE CAR.

MY DASH IS MELTING, STICKY AND VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED BY GLARE. I JUST FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT THROUGH A FRIEND. I PLACED A CALL TO TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY DASH. I DID NOT RECEIVE SAID RECALL. THIS GLARE IS IMPAIRING MY VISIBILITY. TOYOTA SAID THE RECALL WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT HONOR REPAIR. AGAIN I DID NOT RECEIVE RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 20 YEARS. I DID RECEIVE THE OTHER 2 RECALLS AND THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NOW ASK YOURSELF IF I ADDRESSED THE OTHER TWO RECALLS WHY WOULD I NOT HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ONE. THE CAMRY HAS 76680 MILES ON IT IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. I THINK NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. SAFETY HAZARD WORK WITH ME HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN ON THE MELTING DASHBOARD CREATED A MIRROR LIKE EFFECT AND OBSCURED THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF TURNERSVILLE, 3400 NJ-42 TURNERSVILLE, NEW JERSEY 08012) WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY FOR A RECALL REPAIR. THE SPECIFIC RECALL INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,370.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
(1) ABS MODULE HAS AN INTERMITTENT SHORT. WHEN IT FAILS THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH COME ON, TEMP GAUGE AND TACH FLUCTUATE, AND THE A/C STOPS WORKING. THE SHORT IN MODULE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A TOYOTA DEALER. I UNDERSTAND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GO BAD BUT FOR IT TO EFFECT THE SPEEDOMETER AND A/C SEEMS LIKE A POOR DESIGN. (2) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT HAS COME ON. APPARENTLY THERE ARE ISSUES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN SOME MODEL TOYOTAS WITH PISTON RINGS FLAWS. DEALER HAS DONE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS BUT UNABLE TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM.

ISSUE 1: RECALL ON STICKY DASH REGISTERED WITH QUALITY IMPORTS OF FWB IN 2016 AND NEVER RESOLVED. I CHECKED BACK WITH THEM REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER. THEY HAVE NOW MOVED LOCATIONS. ISSUE 2: DRIVER'S SIDE SUN-VISOR WILL NOT MAINTAIN POSITION. IT FLOPS DOWN IN DRIVER'S VISION. BOTH ISSUES RESULTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH SEVERAL LIGHTS, INCLUDING EMERGENCY, BRAKE AND ABS, AND A CHECK VSC SYSTEM INDICATION. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE AND CAREFULLY APPLY THE BRAKE AT SEVERAL INTERVALS TO STOP. THIS IS AN ONGOING AND KNOWN ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM IN 07 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS. THE TOYOTA DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE $3K COST TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 10 YEAR LIMIT. PLEASE EITHER ISSUE A RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR CONSUMERS.

ENGINE
TOYOTA RECALL - THE ENGINE IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND OIL TO BURN AT AN ACCESSIVE RATE. I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF THIS TO A THE PRIORITY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN THE VEHICLE OFTEN. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH TOYOTA ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS NEVER INFORMED EVEN WHEN I CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS FALTY PARTS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THESE PARTS

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS STICKY, CRACKING DASHBOARD FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE EACH SUMMER. IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE TACKY WHEN IT HAD GOTTEN HOT FROM THE SUMMER HEAT AND IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A STICKY, GOOEY MESS THAT CANNOT BE PROPERLY CLEANED. IT REMINDS ME OF THOSE OLD AUBURN COLORED FLY STRIPS WE USED TO HANG FROM THE CEILING WHEN WE WERE KIDS. CRACKS STARTED APPEARING LAST SUMMER AND NOW SEVERAL MORE HAVE APPEARED THIS SUMMER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND I JUST FOUND IT ONLINE THIS MORNING WHILE SEARCHING FOR A CLEANING SOLUTION. I PLAN ON OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 5 YEARS AND I FEAR THE DASHBOARD WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER BY THEN.

STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SOFT AND GOOEY AND IS NOW VERY SHINY. IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY TOYOTA NOTIFIED OWNERS AND OFFERED TO REPLACE SOME OF THEM BUT WE MOVED AND WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FULL BLOWN RECALL. AGAIN, ON A SUNNY DAY THERE IS SO MUCH GLARE FROM THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1. BACKGROUND THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD BECAME "STICKY" ON OR ABOUT JUNE 12, 2018. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW COVERED WITH A GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE. THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE6) COVERING THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED ON MAY 31, 2017. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DASH UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM (TOYOTA CASE #'S 1806131876, 1806210691). 2. SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES A. ON WARM, SUNNY DAYS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE STICKY DASH HAS A VERY BRIGHT SHINE. THE SHINY DASH PROJECTS A GLOSSY, TEXTURED IMAGE OF THE DASH ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS CONDITION IMPEDES MY FIELD OF VISION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS AND CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD, OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEDESTRIANS. B. DURING THE SUMMER SEASON, INTERIOR CAR TEMPERATURES CAN REACH BETWEEN 130 AND 170 DEGREES. WHAT TOXINS ARE BEING RELEASED IN THE CAR INTERIOR FROM THE INTERACTION OF EXTREME HEAT, UV RADIATION, AND THE GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE? WHAT ARE THE SHORT AND LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS FROM INHALING POTENTIALLY TOXIC AIR IN A CONFINED SPACE WHILE DRIVING? SUMMARY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES NOTED ABOVE, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE" VEHICLE THAT IS ENDANGERING MYSELF, OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND PEDESTRIANS. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH RESULTS IN DIMINISHED ROAD VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY INTERIOR CAR TOXINS. THEREFORE, THIS IS NO LONGER A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS "SAFETY" ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY BRAKE ACTUATOR IS FAILING. TOYOTA APPARENTLY ISSUED AN 'ENHANCED WARRANTY' RATHER THAN A RECALL TO FIX THIS KNOWN DEFECT DESPITE THE SAFETY RISKS FOR ALL DRIVERS IF ANOTHER DRIVER'S BRAKES FAIL. I AM UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT ABOUT A YEAR BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DATE. TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT COVER THE FIX AND SAID THIS IS THEIR COMPANY POSITION. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS. (WHEN I BRAKE THE BRAKES MAKE A 'BARKING SOUND.' THIS IS WHAT PROMPTED GOING TO THE DEALER.)
