ALL ENGINE SERVICES WERE DONE ALWAYS IN TOYOTAS CENTER, NOW CAR IS 154329 KM(95,895MILES) AND I STARTED TO CHECK OIL BY MYSELF IN THE LAST YEAR AND I NOTICED EXCESSIVE MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION. ACTUALLY I NEED TO ADD 1QT OIL EVERY 3 WEEKS (1 QT EVERY 350 MILES APROXIMATELY). THE MOTOR IS NOT DRIPPING THE OIL ON THE FLOOR, SO IT MUST BE GOING SOMEWHERE.

APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF AS MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. THAN THE DOOR HANDLE BEHIND THAT CAME OFF WHEN MY CHILD WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH LATER. FOLLOWING BOTH THOSE INCIDENTS I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES AND WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT HANDLE JUST CAME OFF. THE ONLY HANDLE REMAINING ON THE CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. NO ONE PULLED ON THE HANDLES HARDER TO OPEN THE DOORS. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN! I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN TOYOTAS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED! I DO NOT USE MY CAR FOR ANYTHING LIKE UBER OR LYFT WERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NORMAL AND I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO 3 DOOR HANDLES! I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY CHILD. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOYOL TOYOTA CUSTOMERS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND I AM JUST BESIDE MYSELF THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN!

I OWN A 2009 CAMRY LE. THE MATERIAL THAT COVERS THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND PEELING OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2018. WHEN THE SUN SHINES THE LIGHT REFLECTS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THEM TODAY (1/27/20) BUT THEY SAY IT IS NOW EXPIRED. I AM WONDERING HOW THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED FOR MY VEHICLE SINCE I NEVER GOT THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK BECAUSE I MOVED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE
PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME 10/2016. LAST TWO YEARS OIL CONSUMPTION IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES HAS REACHED PUTTING 4 TO 10 QUARTS OF OIL IN THIS CAR. RECENTLY HAD GASKETS, RADIATOR, COIL AND SPARKS CHANGED (10/2019). I NOW AS OF THIS DAY (12/21/2019) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (ENGINE FAILURE). GASKETS HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE VSC CAME ON. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO EVERY ONE INCLUDING WHERE I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM. IT APPEARS I HAVE NO RIGHTS REGARDING TOYOTA AND DRIVE TIME AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. I KNOW THIS CANNOT BE THE CASE. WHO IS HOLDING THESE ENTITIES ACCOUNTABLE?. THIS CAR HAS STOPPED AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR REGARDING THIS ENGINE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THIS CORRECTED. THIS IS A DEFECT ON TOYOTA'S PART AND DRIVE TIME FOR THE SALE OF THIS CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS WHICH I KNOW I HAVE. DOING RESEARCH THERE WAS NO RECALL. WHY NOT. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

ENGINE
THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE ON MY 2009 CAMRY MADE ME ALMOST CRASH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BASICALLY I HAD MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND LOST THE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY RISKING THE CAR BEHIND ME CRASHING INTO ME. I HAVE THE 2.4L ENGINE. THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BURNING OIL DUE TO FAULTY PISTONS, AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENGINE BURNS A LOT OF OIL TOO NOT ONLY RISKING MY LIFE BY HAVING MULTIPLE MISFIRES, BUT IT ALSO RUINS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF OIL THAT I USE TO CONSTANTLY TOP IT OF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAMRY. BACK IN 2015 I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND BROUGHT UP TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY. AT THE TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT AND REPLACING IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. NOW 4 YEARS LATER I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THAT COVERED THE DASHBOARD. MY DASHBOARD IS NOW SO STICKY THAT IT IS GLISTENING. I TRIED TO USE A SUN VISOR HOPING IT WOULD SLOW THE RATE OF MELTING BUT THEN MY SUN VISOR WOULD STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I PLACE A HAT ON THE DASHBOARD ONCE FOR 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I REMOVED IT THERE WAS BLACK RESIDUE. FINALLY, I HAVE A CHILD NOW AND WHEN HE GETS INTO THE CAR HE HAS PUT HIS HANDS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GOTTEN THE BLACK DEBRIS AND CHEMICALS ON HIS HANDS AND I AM NOW CONCERNED FOR HIS HEALTH AND SAFETY. THERE WAS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY SPOUSE CHANGES MY OIL FOR ME AND OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS COMMENTED THAT I WAS SURPRISINGLY VERY LOW ON OIL. I AM WONDERING WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM NOTICES WERE SENT OUT. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA #1911082336. THEY TELL ME THAT I AM OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR REPAIR AND IT WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING I NOTIFIED THEM OF THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BEFORE.

ACCELERATOR GETS STUCK OPEN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. IT WOULD REV AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED DOWNSHIFTING WITH NO EFFECT. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO VERY HIGH RPMS, EVEN WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THEN IT FINALLY STALLED OUT.

MY DASH IS MELTING. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. IT'S CHIPPING OFF AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXPIRED. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT FIXED IF NEVER A RECALL. ALSO MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AND I'VE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY FASHION THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. IT'S THE SEALS THAT KEEP LEAKING. IVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON MY TOYOTA. EVER. SO I'M NOT VERY SATISFIED WITH THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. IM ATTACHING PICTURES OF MY DASH.
