POWER TRAIN
Torque Converter started shuddering a couple of weeks ago. I was stranded in busy intersection for just long enough to scare me into understanding that this issue is dangerous. I found that Toyota had issued LSC E03 - Limited Service Campaign and I was not notified. There was no recall. Instead there was a window of time that I missed, apparently. How many 100's of thousands of Camry's are having this same issue but were unable to afford the cost after Toyota's Warranty Extension ended? I would bet it's alot. This will impact young peoples, and the working poor especially hard because they are the ones buying used cars, and they typically don't have the time or the money for expensive repairs. Even if the repairs are for safety. So, they will be driving the cars with a known safety flaw designed and sold by Toyota.

Faulty torque converter and engine control module software glitch - TSB-NOSB0034-14R2 Original owner never notified about the Toyota Service Bulletin. I purchased car from Toyota Dealer who knew of problem but it did not happen during test drive and I then the day I drove it home, it started happening. I took it back and they wanted an additional $2400 to repair what should have been repaired on a recall. I have read many many complaints about this same issue with many 2012 and 2013 Camry's and I believe that this should have been recalled!!!!!!

WHILE MY CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THE EVENING BEFORE I HEARD A "POP". THAT NIGHT, I COULD NOT LOCATE THE SOURCE. THE NEXT MORNING, I REALIZED MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA. THEY TOOK A REPORT, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY TOOK ME SERIOUSLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVER SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR IF IT'S RAINING OR SNOWING OR EVEN IF I'M TRYING TO BRAKE GOING OVER A PAINTED LINE OR RAILROAD TRACK MY TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON & THE CAR WILL SLIDE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD GOOD TIRES ON THE CAR SO THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD IF THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR IS DOING IT'S JOB. I'M NO DUMMY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING OVER 20 YRS OF MY LIFE & NEVER HAD A CAR DO THAT BEFORE EVEN WITH BAD TIRES.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMERY 2013. I HAVE NO ACCIDENT AT ALL SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. BUT ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH ON REASON. I FELT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IF THERE IS A COLLISION HAPPENS, MY AIRBAG WONT PUMP OUT. I HAVE VISITED TO DIFFERENT CAR DEALOR. THEY SAID THE WIRE CIRCUIT MIGHT BE WRONG SINCE THEY TRIED TO SWITCH AIRBAG MODULES OR THE SENSOR NOTHING WORKS SO FAR. I ASSUME THE AIRBAG WHICH IS THE KEY COMPONENT FOR OUR DRIVERS' SAFETY SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST THAN WHAT I EXPERIENCED.

THE ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN ON A CONSIST BASIS UNTIL LAST MONTH. EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR HESITATES. IT TAKES A MINUTE OR TWO FOR MY CAR TO ACCELERATE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON A LOCAL ROAD, INTERSTATE OR GOING UP A HILL. THE OUTCOME IS THE SAME.
