WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR, AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR. I TOOK CAR TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIX AIRBAG ON WARNING. THEY RESET THE ERROR MESSAGE .... BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR 10 MILES, AIRBAG ON LIGHT AGAIN COMES UP AND STAYS ON ALL THE TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

AS SOON I GOT THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED UP BINGHAM TOYOTA. THE GUY WHOM I SPOKE WITH SAID, "HE ASKED FOR THEN NAME OF THE CAR AND PHONE NUMBER, NEXT GIVE ME A SEC TO LOOK IT UP AND THEN TOLD ME THAT THE PART IS A SPECIAL ONE WHICH REQUIRED A SPECIAL ORDER," I ASKED HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE HE SAID, "ONE WEEK." NOW ITS 2014 AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD A CALL YET, AS I WAS TOLD THAT ONCE THE PARTS CAME IN I WOULD BE NOTIFY BY THE NUMBER I GAVE HIM. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY, THAT INVOLVES THE HVAC HOUSING AND THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY REGULAR SERVICE DEALERSHIP (BRONX TOYOTA) AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT, THAT THE INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIR COULD TAKE THREE TO FIVE DAYS.WHEN I ASKED, HOW WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE, I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER ( 888 270 9371) AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. I DRIVE TWENTY MILES ONE WAY TO WORK, MONDAYS TO FRIDAYS. I LEAVE HOME ABOUT 8 AM AND RETURN ABOUT 7 PM. I DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE FOR MY LIVELIHOOD, THAT IS WHY I DRIVE A TOYOTA. IT IS NOT FAIR TO BE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES, JUST TO GET TRANSPORTATION TO GO TO WORK WHILE THEY REPAIR MY VEHICLE FROM A RECALL. WHO ELSE DO I NEED TO CONTACT? PLEASE ADVISE.

P/O RESPONSE LTR TO TOYOTA CORP. RE 2012 CAMRYDATE: DECEMBER 26, 2013 - ...FURTHERMORE,MY BROTHER AND I HAVE STRESSED TO EVERYONE WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH SINCE OUR FIRST CONTACT ON DEC16, 2013 WITH TOYOTA REGARDING THESE DANGEROUS MECHANICAL PROBLEMS I.E., THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, STEERING PULLING TO THE RIGHT AS WELL AS THE OFFENSIVE ODOR THAT OCCURS WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON. ...NO ONE WILL ASSIST US UNTIL JANUARY 6, 2014...WE CANNOT IMAGINE THAT CEO [XXX]... WOULD FIND IT ACCEPTABLE TO WAIT THREE (3) WEEKS - UNTIL JANUARY 6, 2014- TO FIRST BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION WHILE BEING LEFT WITH A DEFECTIVE AND DAMAGED TOYOTA CAMRY. [XXX]. DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR PHONE CALL EITHER. WE LOCATED NOV 16 2012 DETAILS AND FWD TO TOYOTA CORP: NOV 16, 2012- AT APPROXIMATELY 11:15PM ON THE 405S, ALL TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE NORTH OF THE SKIRBALL. WE WERE STANDING STILL FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SUDDENLY, OUR CAR LUNGED FORWARD DUE TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. AS THE CAR VEERED TO THE RIGHT, I MANAGED, WITH GREAT EFFORT, TO STEER THE CAR AS WE WENT INTO THE LANE TO THE RIGHT OF US. AFTER TRAVELING MORE THAN 100 FEET, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP. THANKFULLY, WE DID NOT HIT AND WERE NOT HIT BY PASSING POLICE AND FIRE VEHICLES. WE ALSO SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING IN OUR CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ON NOVEMBER 17, 2012, WE WENT INTO TOYOTA SERVICE TO REPORT WHAT HAD OCCURRED THE NIGHT BEFORE. WE WANTED TOYOTA TO KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ALSO WANTED TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND HOW TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS DANGEROUS, SAFETY PROBLEM. TOYOTA SERVICE CHECKED AND RESPONDED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN THE 2012 CAMRY. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ACCEPTED THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT EXPERIENCED ONLY BY US.

IT HAPPENED FIRST TIME AROUND 20 DECEMBER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WITH THE TRUNK NOT CLOSING MY CAR HAS SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING FAULT AND IT IS MY RIGHT TO A NEW CAR WHICH IS UNDAMAGED AND TOYOTA IS NOT COOPERATING WITH THE REPAIRS NOT ALONE CHANGING THE CAR. *TR

ON 1/8/13 I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON ,WITH AN ADULT IN PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT CHECKED OK. ON 12/23/13 I WAS ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON ,WITH AN ADULT IN PASSENGER SEAT ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER,AND THEY SAID IT CHECKED OK. I AM CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE PASSENGER ( MY WIFE AGE 75 ) COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DIDN'T FUNCTION AS IT WAS DESIGNED TOO. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2012 4CYL CAMRY XLE. A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAPPENS WHEN THE BODY INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED, LIKE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR ENTERING A HOME GARAGE FROM THE DRIVEWAY. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN DECEMBER 2013 WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (THE CAR HAD OVER 40,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE WAS UP TO 36,000 MILES). THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR $486.85 USD. ALTHOUGH TWO TOYOTA REPAIR CENTERS IN PUERTO RICO (TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER IN SAN LORENZO, PR AND FURIEL TOYOTA AUTO), BOTH ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS A PROBLEM OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED ABOUT AND THEY KNOW OF. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE FORUMS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2012 CAMRY'S WITH SUNROOF, SO I UNDERSTAND IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE FOR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE OF THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE CAR AT ANY SPEED, IT LOOKS THE BREAK BOOSTER IS NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE CAR, ALSO THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE DURING DECELERATION AND STOP FROM 25 OR 35 MPH TO COMPLETE STOP, IT LOOKS WHILE BRAKING SOMETHING GIVE ADDITIONAL ACCELERATION NOT BRAKING TO THE VEHICLE, IT IS HARD TO REDUCE A SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED 60 OR 65, I AM SURE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE BREAK OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNLIKE OTHER CARS WE OWNED , CHEVY EQUINOX AND DODGE STRATUS 2005 BRAKING ARE MUCH BUTTER AND IT IS OLD THEY CAN STOP AT ANY SPEED BUT THIS TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 IS SCARY AND I AM AFRAID TO USE IT IN THE HIGHWAYS DRIVING, THE DEALER STATED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE AND I WANT FROM NHTSA TO TEST THE DRIVE OF THIS CAR AND SEE THEIR OPINION. *TR

PURCHASED A 2012 CAMRY FROM WILSON MOTORS IN BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON. RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT AIR CONDITIONING WATER COULD LEAK INTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL WE NEEDED TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE. RECALL INDICATED THAT AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR A CAR CRASH. WILSON MOTORS COULD NOT GIVE US AN APPOINTMENT FOR ONE MONTH BECAUSE TOYOTA MOTORS USA WILL ONLY ALLOW THEM TO FIX ONE CAR PER DAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. IT SHOULD BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, NOT AT A RATE THAT SATISFIES TOYOTA MOTORS USA. *TR

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR CONSTANTLY WANDERS TO THE LEFT AND/OR RIGHT REQUIRING CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT SPEED. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT THE CAUSE WAS CROSS-WINDS BUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ALL THE TIME EVEN ON CALM DAYS WITH NO WIND. I HAVE ALSO DISCARDED ROAD SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS/ANGLE AS THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON DIFFERENT ROADS. IT TAKES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION AND CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM CROSSING INTO ADJACENT LANES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANKS. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT #10545567. THE CAMRY EXPERIENCES SPURIOUS OR INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION HESITATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION ESPECIALLY IN WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION, THE DEALER DOESN'T SEE IT AND CLAIMS CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION. *TR
