MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN BLOWING BLUE SMOKE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN 2014, WHICH I PURCHASED THROUGH A DEALERSHIP. AFTER ANYTIME I START MY CAR AFTER SITTING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IT WILL BLOW BLUE SMOKE EACH TIME. I GET MY OIL CHANGED WAY MORE OFTEN THEN I SHOULD TO TRY AND PREVENT THE SMOKE, I CHECK MY OIL ONCE A WEEK, AND NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT CONTINUES TO BLOW BLUE SMOKE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
"TOYOTA PISTON RING RECALL"I HAVE NOT RECIEVE A NOTICE THAT A RECALL FOR 2008 CAMRY, WHICH I PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2017. I HAVE DRIVEN IT ONLY 6,000 MILES AND HAVE CHANGED THE OIL TWICE. BOTH TIMES, I REALIZED THAT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE CAR WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. I RECENTLY GOT AN OIL CHANGE AT VALVOLINE STORE, ABOUT 1200 MILES AGO, ON MARCH 15, 2018. IT IS ALREADY DANGEROUSLY LOW, AFTER DRIVING IN A NORMAL FASHION, 10 DAYS LATER. I AM NOW AWARE THAT A RECALL HAS OCCURRED FOR MILLIONS OF TOYOTAS HAVING THE IMPROPER PISTON RINGS INSTALLED. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR DURING THIS RECALL PERIOD, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA BEARING ALL OF THE COSTS TO REPAIR IT. THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WILL PROVE TO BE FATAL TO THE ENGINE IN MY CAT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN, SHOULD THE ENGINE SEIZE, OR OTHERWISE MALFUNCTION, WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE VISITED AND ADDRESSED MY ISSUE WITH MY LOCAL, COPELAND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH 2 REPRESENTATIVES AT TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS WHOM ALSO DENY THAT TOYOTA HAS ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE STILL MILLIONS OF CARS BY THUS MAKER, OUT ON THE ROAD, DRIVEN EVERYDAY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANOTHER AUTHORITY , WHAT I AM TO DO ABOUT GETTING TOYOTA TO FIX MY CAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD HAS RECENTLY STARTED "MELTING" AND HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY, CREATING A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VISIBILITY. ALTHOUGH TOYOTA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME THE WARRANTY WAS OFFERED. WHEN I CALLED THEM UP ASKING THEM TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS "TOO OLD" TO QUALIFY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS (PERHAPS THOUSANDS?!) OF DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THEIR OWN SAFETY HAZARD. SAFETY HAZARDS CAUSED BY TOYOTA'S OWN NEGLIGENCE SHOULD NOT BE THE CUSTOMER'S FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX!

AIR BAGS
NOT SURE IF THEY ARE TAKATA AIRBAGS. MY WIFE WAS REAR-ENDED (NOT HER FAULT) THAT CRUNCHED HER CAR BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES. THE INDIVIDUAL AT FAULT, ALTOGETHER, CREATED A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT NONE OF THE CAR'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SEE PICTURES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. MY WIFE IS STILL SUFFERING WITH SHOULDER PAINS. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR.

ENGINE
TWO SEPARATE EPISODES OF RAPID UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION ON 27JAN2018 AND 09FEB2018 RESULTING IN VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD AND ENGINE RUNNING RAPIDLY. FIRST EPISODE OCCURRED WHILE MOVING INTO MY GARAGE CAUSING CAR TO KNOCK DOWN THREE CASES OF WATER AND HITTING STORAGE AREA; SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT OF ATM AREA THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, HAD TO SWEAR LEFT NOT TO HIT ANOTHER CAR, HITTING BANK STOP SIGN. HAD TO PLACE CAR IN NEUTRAL, BRAKES DID NOT SLOW VEHICLE. SECOND EPISODE WITNESSED BY PASSAGE IN FRONT SEAT. AFTER FIRST EPISODE DROVE CARE CAREFULLY LOCALLY AND IT DID NOT REOCCUR, UNTIL APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN SECOND EPISODE OCCURRED AT ATM SITE. WHEN GETTING CAR HOME PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL BEFORE STOPPING, MADE APPOINTMENT FOR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CHECK CARE ON 12FEB2018. ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP, SLOWLY AND USING NEUTRAL GEAR PRIOR TO BREAKING. DEALERSHIP, AFTER EXAMINING FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR SAID CAR WAS FINE. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS RESULT SINCE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG TO CREATE SUCH A FRIGHTENING ACCELERATION. AT DEALERSHIP CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO START REVIEW PROCESS OF THESE EVENTS. IN PROGRESS NOW. TOYOTA HAS SAID CAR WAS INSPECTED (NO ROAD TEST) AND CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM COMPLETING THIS COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE THE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT EITHER IS UNDISCOVERED OR UNREVEALED. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS FORM.

I LEASED A LOW END CAMRY 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM ABOUT 20 TIMES. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP USUALLY ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE FROM THE 600 VALUE AT IDLE TO ABOUT 2200. THIS OCCURS IN A SPEED RANGE OF 0 TO 5 MPH. FORTUNATELY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED AND GENERALLY AM NOT CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I AM ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR WITH THE FOOT BRAKE BUT GENERALLY NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE TO ELIMINATE THE HIGH RPM AND WHEN RESTARTING ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERS 3 TIMES AND ALL IS "WELL" BASED ON THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. I SUSPECT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER BUT THAT FALLS ON DEAF EARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON 40 MILES/HOUR THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, SKID CONTROL, AND MAINTENANCE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A WHISTLING SOUND TOO, ALSO THE DASH BOARD HAD CHECK THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR DUE TO BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE, SO I PULLED OVER TO A CLOSE BY GAS STATION AND STOPPED BY HITTING THE CURB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND DIAGNOSED AS ABS BRAKING ACTUATOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, AND ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $2,200, IT WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY 4 MONTHS SO I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PARTICULAR MANUFACTURER LIFE THREATENING MISTAKE THAT COULD TAKE AWAY MY LIFE IF I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA COMPANY 3 TIMES THEY STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE MALFUNCTION PROBLEM, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, AS IT IS NOT A RECALL YET, IT'S ONLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. I KNOW THIS HAPPENED TO MANY CARS OF THIS MODEL. AND INJURIES OCCURRED BUT TOYOTA DON'T WANT TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
