03/16/2021 - 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L MY REGULAR AUTO SHOP REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE'S HEAD BOLTS ARE STRIPPED AND IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONGST THIS CAMRY YEAR. IT'S GOING TO COST $2,200 TO REPAIR ALBEIT NEW RADIATOR, AND THERMOSTAT. COOLANT WAS FOUND IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. STRIPPED HEAD BOLTS. MECHANIC SAYS HE'S SEEN MANY CAMRY'S WITH THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY THE 2002-2003. THE KBB VALUE IS LESS THAN THAT. THINKING IT MAKES SENSE TO SELL AS SALVAGE THAN REPAIR. SO DISAPPOINTED! LONG-TIME TOYOTA FAN BUT IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE INDICATIVE OF A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THEN WHAT'S THE HOLD UP FOR A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TWICE RECENTLY 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH LESS THAN 8,000 MILES ON IT WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED IN A GARAGE. IN BOTH CASES, WE CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CAR STARTED RIGHT AWAY. NO DOORS WERE LEFT OPEN, NO LIGHTS ON, ETC. WHAT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AFTER A DAY OR TWO NOT BEING DRIVEN? MY OLDER TOYOTA WITH 150,000 IS MORE RELIABLE, SADLY. HAVE READ ABOUT A BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, BUT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE IDENTIFIED.

MY 2012 CAMRY SE 4 CYLINDER HAS AN ISSUE WITH ITS TORQUE CONVERTER. MY CAR SHUDDERS AND HAS A DELAY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IS KNOWN BY TOYOTA. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED AND QUOTED BY TOYOTA FOR THIS ISSUE 17 MONTHS AGO. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE $3000 QUOTE AT THAT TIME. I FOUND OUT LAST WEEK THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE! I CALL TOYOTA ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND QUOTED WELL BEFORE THE WARRANTY DATE, BUT WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE WARRANTY OR PREVALENT ISSUE WITH THIS YEARS TORQUE CONVERTER. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM REPLACE THIS FOR FREE, BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED AT THAT TIME. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THE ISSUE, BUT THEY STATED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITHIN THE WARRANTY TIME FRAME AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO LET ME KNOW THIS WAS COVERED, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. I AM VERY UPSET THIS IS HAPPENING, AND VERY UPSET THAT THIS KNOW ISSUE YOU SEE OVER 50 COMPLAINTS ABOUT ON THIS SITE, IS ONLY REMEDIED WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOT A RECALL. I AM BEING WRONGED BY TOYOTA AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME, OR ALL OF US 2012 CAMRY OWNERS WHO WHERE EFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE!

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING WELL TO BURSTS OF SPEED, SIMPLY TURN OFF ECO MODE, AND REFILL VEHICLE WITH BETTER GAS (DO NOT USE THE CHEAPEST TIER OF GAS AVAILABLE AT THE GAS STATION, GO THE NEXT TIER UP FROM THAT). I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS NOW WITH UNDER 13,800 MI AT TIME OF WRITING. THERE ARE STEERING ISSUES WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SHARE THIS VEHICLE WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ALL OF THEM COMPLAIN OF THE VEHICLE SHAKING SEVERELY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL FREQUENTLY SEEMS TO "LOCK" IN PLACE WHEN DRIVING CURVES. THE RECALL THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE, 20V682, HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE SINCE LATE OCTOBER 2020 AND AS OF NOW THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I SPOKE TO A TOYOTA REP EARLY FEBRUARY AND THEY WERE ANTICIPATING A REMEDY TO BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF THE MONTH BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. TRIED CALLING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN EXACT DATE FOR THE REMEDY TO BE READY. MEANWHILE I AM READING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION, ENDANGERING NOT JUST THEIR OWN LIVES BUT THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AS WELL. THE LAST THING I WANT IS FOR ME OR MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS TO BE IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY LOSE OUR LIVES. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO KEEP US ALL WAITING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME FOR A REMEDY. THERE SEEM TO BE MORE AND MORE RECALLS AFFECTING ALL TOYOTA BRANDED VEHICLES DUE TO POOR QC. IF THEY COULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME TO PROPERLY TEST ALL PRODUCTS BEFORE RELEASE THEM TO THE PUBLIC, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IN OUR VEHICLES FEELING ON EDGE AND UNCOMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME. IF THESE RECALLS KEEP COMING I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE ONCE MY PAYMENTS ARE DONE IN 3 YEARS, AND CONSIDER LOOKING ELSEWHERE FOR BRANDS WHO VALUE SAFETY INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE TECH GADGETS TO HIKE UP PRICES.

INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR WILL LURCH AHEAD. THIS IS UPON START FROM A STANDING START AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING. OUR SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BUT THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT THIS WAY BEFORE AND I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR.
