ENGINE
ENGINE CONSUMES OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE ON THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS CONSUMING OIL. THEY ADVISED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES HOWEVER IT SKIPPED THIS VEHICLE YEAR. TOYOTA HAS NOT PROVIDED AN OPTION FOR REPAIR ASIDE FROM DISMANTLING THE ENGINE AND REBUILDING AT MY EXPENSE. VEHICLE REQUIRES OIL CHANGES AND/OR OIL REPLENISHMENT ALMOST EVERY 600-1200 MILES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT IN MY DASH DISPLAY CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. MY ALTERNATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THE ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT QUOTE FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE MY FAMILY PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IS QUOTING $1,245 FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR (PARTS & LABOR). AN INTERNET SEARCH LED ME TO FIND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW OWNERS OF THIS ERA OF TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO COVER THE COST OF THIS VERY EXPENSIVE AND PREMATURE REPAIR. MY MECHANIC WARNED ME OF THE HUGE DANGERS OF HAVING MY ALTERATOR FAIL WHILE OPERATING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE DOING THE FAST FREEWAY DRIVING THAT IS SO COMMON IN LOS ANGELES. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE RED BATTERY DASH LIGHT INDICATED SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THIS CAN BE RECALLED, TO SAVE CONSUMERS THE HUGE COST OF MAKING THIS CRITICAL AND UNTIMELY REPAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS COMPLAINT AND YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MONTANA. NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NOT FOLLOWING ANY CARS. OUT OF THE BLUE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE SUNROOF. UPON PULLING OVER, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. VERY GLAD THE SLIDER HAD BEEN CLOSED AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY CUT, PLUS I HAD A PASSENGER. MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO I COULD DRIVE, SO NOT AT A HIGH SPEED, WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ROOF WAS REPLACED BY GLASS DOCTOR.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND SHORTING IT OUT. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE DRAIN FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED AND CONDENSED WATER WAS NOT DRAINING OUT ONTO THE GROUND AS DESIGNED. INSTEAD, IT BUILT UP AND THEN LEAKED ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF TOYOTA CAMRYS.

MOLD NEGLIGENCE - ISSUE ORIGINATED AROUND 10,000 MILES AS DEALERSHIP RECORDS INDICATE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED AIR FILTER AS THE REPAIR. HOWEVER, SUPPOSEDLY, THE TSBS SUGGESTED THAT A MOLDY MILDEW SMELL MAY DEVELOP FROM THE HVAC COMPONENTS. THE CARPET WAS NOT PULLED BACK AND INSPECTED UNTIL A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL. MOLD WAS PRESENT AND PHOTOGRAPHED. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR WERE SUBJECT TO OTHER FORMS OF WATER LEAKS AND SEPARATE MOLD FORMED THERE ALSO. CONSUMER SUGGESTION OF A MOISTURE SENSOR IN THE LOW POINTS OF THE BODY TO NOTIFY THE OWNER OF AN ISSUE VIA A WARNING LIGHT. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS ODORS ARE NOXIOUS AND IRRITATING AND AFFECT BREATHING RESPIRATIONS AND OVERALL HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING IN PERSISTENT COUGH. TOYOTA NATIONAL RECENTLY INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED BUT REJECTED BUYBACK OR COMPENSATION. FILING WITH NHTSA TO DOCUMENT MOLD ISSUES WITH 2010 MODEL FOR LEGAL REFERENCES IF TOYOTA DOES NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT AND BUYBACK.

ENGINE
INITIALLY, I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE BEEN IMAGINING THINGS BUT OVER THIS SUMMER I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS BURNING OIL SO FAST, THAT I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 1000 MILES. RECENTLY, I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AT THE END OF AUGUST 2018, USED OW-20 FULL SYNTHETIC AND TWO WEEKS LATER, THE OIL HAD BURNED OUT. LAST WEEK ON 9/13/18, I PUT 4 QUARTS IN AND TODAY I CHECKED MY DIPSTICK AND IT NEARLY DRY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MATTER WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TOYOTA WOULDN'T RECALL VEHICLES THAT ARE A SAFETY DANGER.

DASH IS STICKY, MELTING, BREAKING DOWN, AND DETERIORATING SINCE JUNE 2017. NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY HAD A LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD SAME PROBLEM. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE HEAT UNTIL I WASN'T ABLE TO CLEAN IT OR REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR,AS THE DASH HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT LEAVES AN IMPRINT OR INDENTION. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT STICKS TO IT. WHEN YOUR DIVING THERE IS GLARE FROM THE RESIDUE THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND SINCE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND YOU CAN'T CLEAN IT OFF THAT MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACE SEVERAL DASHES, BUT HAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT HAVE BROKEN DOWN AFTER THERE TIME FRAME HAS ELAPSED? MINE DIN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THEIR TIME FRAME EXPIRED, SO I'M I JUST OUT OF LUCK AND I'M SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THEIR INFERIOR PRODUCT? I'M WORRIED THAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE DASH WOULD JUST CRUMBLE AND NOT PROTECT MY FAMILY OR MYSELF. I NEED HELP, I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I HAVE TO SINCE IT'S MY ONLY ONE. SHOULDN'T TOYOTA HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL NOTICE TO EVERYONE THAT WAS AFFECTED?

WHEELS
LUG NUTS SWELLING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH. ALL 20 LUG NUTS SHOW EVIDENCE OF SEPARATION OF THE STEEL NUT AND THE DECORATIVE CHROME COVER COVERING THE STEEL LUG NUT. DEFECT WAS FOUND BY TIRE DEALER DURING PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES WHEN THE TECHNICIAN HAD DIFFICULTY REMOVING LUG NUTS. ACCORDING TO THE TIRE STORE MANAGER THIS DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY WATER GETTING BETWEEN THE STEEL NUT AND THE DECORATIVE CAP WHICH CAUSES RUST TO FORM. WHEN THE OXIDATION FORMS IT PUTS PRESSURE ON THE DECORATIVE CAP CAUSING IT TO EXPAND. THE NORMAL 21MM WRENCH WILL NOT FIT OVER THE LUG NUT DUE TO THE EXPANSION SO THE NEXT SIZE WRENCH IS NECESSARY WHICH THEN DAMAGES THE NUT. THE NORMAL LUG NUT WRENCH SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE CAR IS THEREFORE NOT ABLE TO BE USED TO REMOVE LUG NUTS. I HAVE THE DAMAGED LUG NUTS IF NEEDED FOR EXAMINATION

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY MORNING COMMUTE I HAD TO INITIATE A FAST ACCELERATION BY DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FULLY TO GAIN SPEED AND UPON TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL I NOTICED IT REMAINED DEPRESSED FULLY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THIS SITUATION HAD HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR IN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE I HAD PUT "THE PEDAL TO THE METAL" AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES ALLOWED THE ACCELERATOR TO DISENGAGE AND OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE INSTANCE TODAY OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT; MAX ACCELERATION WAS ENGAGED AT AROUND 5MPH AND MY TOP SPEED REACHED 40MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE SUN VISORS BREAKS AND WILL NOT STAY UP CREATING A FLOPPY SUN VISOR IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR.

WRITING ABOUT THE SUN VISORS ON THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SEEMS UNUSUAL TO ME THAT I'VE HAD TWO OF THEM THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. IN BOTH CASES, THE SUN VISORS LOST THEIR ABILITY TO STAY UPRIGHT AND STARTED DROPPING DOWN INTO THE DRIVERS' VISUAL FIELD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED TO THE VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. I BOUGHT REPLACEMENTS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF. NOT HUGELY EXPENSIVE JUST SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT, AND POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS ONLINE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THEY HELPED ME DO THE REPAIR MYSELF, BUT SEEMS TO SIGNAL THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS OF THESE TOYOTA CARS. I'M ONLY LISTING THE DATE OF THE LAST ONE I REPLACED. THE FIRST ONE OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS.
