My 2011 Toyota Camry is using too much oil. I am the original owner and have always kept up with the oil changes. The car only has 76,822 miles. The first thing I noticed when I started my car up was lights on dashboard stayed on a few seconds longer than normal which the oil light was one of them. It was not due for an oil change yet but I decided to take the car in to see if the oil needed topped off. The oil didn't register on the dipstick. They had to add 2 qts. of oil. After I put 750 mi. more on my car, it started sounding louder. I took it back in to have the oil checked again, this time it was a quart low. I have these receipts with the mileage on them. I'm seeing other people have these same complaints. I bought this car because I thought it would be dependable. This is an issue I believe Toyota is aware of and they should have to do a recall on this. This is low miles for this car and I shouldn't be having this major of an issue.

The vehicle dashboard is tacky and has been for some time. The reflection from the sun emitting off the dashboard impairs visibility while driving. Even wearing sunglasses does not fully deflect the sun glare from the dashboard making it difficult to see cars in front of me or traffic signals. I believe this issue because the dashboard is so hot, it affected my CD player which is no longer working, a cd is stuck in the player and the button to eject does not respond. Yes my vehicle can be inspected upon request. A few years ago, I inquired with a licensed mechanic what the issue was and he stated there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation. I contacted Toyota when I first realized the issue, they stated that there was a recall on the dashboard and the time had past to get it replaced. I informed them that I did not receive a recall notification and they could not tell me why. I am very frustrated that Toyota will not take responsibility for replacing my dashboard.

The touchscreen on the audio head unit does not function properly. I cannot pair a phone with the car's audio system because the on-screen buttons are unresponsive. This is a safety issue. I cannot use hands-free calling because I cannot pair a phone with the audio system. I started noticing issues with the touchscreen in 2018, but I was able to work around the issue. In 2020, however, I can no longer pair mobile devices to the audio system. Toyota is aware of this issue. It is widespread among several vehicle models from 2012-2014.

SEATS
While driving home from work I suddenly noticed green smoke billowing from under my passenger seat. I immediately pulled over rolled my windows down I removed my back pack from the seat that was smoldering on top of the seat . There was absolutely nothing combustible in my back pack I removed my back back from the vehicle. The extinguished itself some how. I began coughing and choking due to the toxic smoke. Once I felt that the fire in the passenger seat was no longer a threat to my life. I begrudgingly continued my drive home which was an additional 15 Miles home. I am a sheriff deputy for Los Angeles county I realized that getting off the highway was the safest place for my self and other vehicles around me. The 15 freeway is a very busy highway and is not safe to remain on the side of the road unless there was an immediate threat of danger or an accident that needed to be reported. I arrived home safely but extremely unnerved. I do not smoke I do not use vaping or any other such things. I took several pictures it's quite obvious the seat caught on fire from under or within the seat. There is absolutely zero aftermarket products added to my vehicle . All of my vehicle maintenance has been done at Toyota dealerships only. This incident was very scary to say the least. Fortunately I had no passengers had I had my teenage children wife or anyone else in the front passenger seat the potential of serious harm could have occurred. I am reporting this as Toyota claims no recalls for this vehicle. My vehicle warranty just recently expired. Toyota has many recalls on several different years for this type of thing occurring. With my personal experience, I highly recommend this incident be investigated, and a possible recall should be implemented for the safety of others. There appears in pictures that the wiring underneath the seat initiated the fire. Toyota needs to be responsible for this.

I am the owner of 2013 Toyota Camry SE VIN# 4T1BF1FKXDU279537. My vehicle shudders when I drive over 25 mph. On 19 April 2022 I took my 2013 Toyota Camry SE to the Glen Toyota dealership. After the diagnosis the representative stated that I needed a new torque converter. The cost would be $2902.30 to repair. After further investigation I discovered Toyota offered the Torque replacement at no charge under the Toyota enhancement warranty program. Under the extended repair program the torque converter was replaced at no charge for 8 years or 150,000 miles. My vehicle is currently under 150,000 miles and the 8 year mark occurred during Covid19 when businesses were shut down. The service adviser told me the dealership would not cover the repair. Under a normal situation this would be acceptable. Due to unusual circumstances related to Covid19, I am requesting that my vehicle's torque converter be replaced at no cost to me. I have uploaded the document to the Toyota Warranty Enhancement Program that explains the shudder while driving under light throttle conditions between approximately 25 – 50 mph. Also included is the service recommendation from the Glen Toyota dealership that shows the seriousness of this repair. I do not fell safe driving this vehicle until the torque converter is replaced. Thank you.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I was stopped at a traffic light, on an uphill grade, for roughly thirty seconds when my 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid just started slowly accelerating. I looked down and my foot was still on the brake. The car then accelerated quickly. I turned into the left hand turn lane in order to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. The car then jumped the center divider and slam in the curb on the other side of the street before it stopped. At no time did I take my foot off the brake. There was only minor damage to the front bumper, but I destroyed two plants in the center divide. (I do not know, as of yet, if there was any damage to underneath of car.) As I was less than two miles from home, I drove the vehicle home. The next business day I had the vehicle towed to the Toyota dealership in San Juan Capistrano, CA. I told them of the problem and they immediately notified corporate. Corporate TOOK possession of the car and did not issue its report until June 1, 2022 (31 days after the incident).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I brought my car in for the safety recall, and have been experiencing a failed fuel gauge recently. Whenever I fill my gas tank, the gas gauge has trouble going down when I drive. Because of this, I have to keep track of how many miles I drive so that I don't risk driving on an empty tank. I also have been experiencing vehicle stalls when I drive. I brought my car to a local Toyota shop to run a diagnosis and it has been reported that I have a failed "recalibration" and need to replace the fuel gauge. My vehicle does not show any warning lights/signs.

Sunroof randomly exploded. I was driving approximately 40mph down a city road on 5/18/22 and the sunroof exploded dropping a 4x8 inches worth of glass shards and fracturing the rest of the glass. There was no debris, rough driving conditions or unlevel road when it happened. I was relatively safe when it happened as there was not any traffic, but if it were on the highway in traffic it could have caused issue. I have not done any inspections by manufacturer, insurance, etc. I was not sure how accountability works with it breaking for no reason, so I was just planning to buy a used sunroof and replacing it. There were no warning, just a random bang when it exploded.
