ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY MARCH 2020. ON JUNE 15, 2020 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM PARKING BRAKE DISABLED. MY CAR REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS. ON JUNE 19 I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN STATED THE BATTERY WAS GOOD AFTER PERFORMING A BATTERY TEST USING TOYOTA DCA8000 TEST. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED AN UPDATE TELEMATICS MODULE I9I-13 DCM TO LATEST FIRMWARE TO SOFTWARE VERSION HIGH AT LG-N010FFB AND SOFTWARE VERSION LOW AT CBC-98 OR CBC-34 AS APPLICABLE DEALER TECHSTREAM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. OK THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE FIX TO MY PROBLEM. ON AUG 19 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AFTER A SERIES OF TEST THEY STATED IT WAS THE BATTERY, SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD BE THE BATTERY WHEN THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. . ON JAN 25, 2021 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY CAR WOULD START. THE RADIO CAME ON , THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. TECHNICIAN ADVISE THE NEXT DAY HAD PERFORM A DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR DRAINING BATTERIES TO THE 2020 CAMRY. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT PERFORM TO THE STANDARDS I EXPECTED SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE MARCH 2020. STATE OF GEORGIA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SUBMIT A LEMON LAW CLAIM BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS NOT OUT OF COMMISSION FOR 30 DAYS TOTAL. I AM A VERY UPSET CUSTOMER AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND POSSIBLY SEEK ME A A CONSUMER ATTORNEY. AS MUCH AS I AM PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT AROUND FOR TOYOTA TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TOYOTA CAMRY MAKES A SCARY NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD RIGHT BEHIND THE AIR CONDITIONER. IT COMES ON AND OFF. IN ADDITION, IN 2018 THE NOISE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY THE WHOLE DASHBOARD SIGNS RED WITH A STRONG NOISE THAT APPEARS SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE. THEN, I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND CALL TOYOTA AND THEY ASK ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T OFFER TOWING. THAT DAY, I DROVE TO WORK AND ALL APPEARED NORMAL. THE NOISE COMES ONCES IN A WHILE AND GO AWAY. I AM NOT SURE HOW SERIOUS THIS THING IS AND WHAT TO DO NEXT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELO ON THIS. SOLOMON

AS SOON AS I DROVE THIS CAR OFF THE LOT, THE "TIRE BALANCE" LIGHT CAME ON. THE TIRES WERE LOW SO I PUT AIR IN THEM AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE FRONT BUMPER SKIRT SCRAPES ON EVERY DIP IN THE ROAD IT SEEMS, SOUNDING HORRIBLE. THEN, IT GOT CAUGHT ON A PARKING STOP WHICH LOOSENED THE SKIRT SO IT NOW HANGS EVEN LOWER AND SCRAPES BOTTOM OVER EVERY CRACK IN THE ROAD.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY (1/29/21) AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 40MPH I CAME UP ON THE RESET OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO'S BREAK LIGHTS WERE DISABLED AND I ALMOST DID NOT BREAK IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME I'VE NOTICED MY BREAKING ASSIST NOT WORKING. BACK IN OCTOBER 2019 I NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH MY AIR BAGS AS WELL. THEY WOULD BEEP AND GO OFF AS THOUGH SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEATS AND THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. DUE TO MY OWN BELIEFS I ASSUMED IT WAS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HOWEVER I DID MAKE A COMPLAINT WHEN I GOT MY OIL CHANGE IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS. THEY TOLD ME TO LET THEM KNOW IF IT CONTINUED AND IT MAY HAVE DONE IT ONCE OR TWICE SINCE THEN BUT NOT OFTEN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS ENOUGH TO REPORT.

STEERING
RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SOFT STEERING RESPONSE, AND THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VEERS TO THE RIGHT (AT ANY SPEED). WEIRDLY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS BEEN SPORADIC, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 1/19/21. SURPRISINGLY AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND THEN ON AGAIN, THE ISSUE DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. OUR BIGGEST FEAR IS IF THIS ERRATIC STEERING ISSUE WERE TO SUDDENLY START ACTING UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OUR CAMRY WAS PURCHASED IN DEC'14, AND WE HAVE NOTICED THERE WERE A RECALL FOR SOME CAMRYS' OF THAT YEAR. COULD OUR CAMRY BATCH HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS NOT AS APPARENT AS THOSE ALREADY RECALLED? PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS STEERING ISSUES SEEM TO BE THE TOP PROBLEM FOR THE 2015 CAMRY ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ALSO NOTING THE SAME DEFECT BUT THEIR CAR'S VIN IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST. THIS COINCIDENCE SEEM QUITE HIGH ESPECIALLY FOR A YEAR WITH STEERING PROBLEM RECALLS, BUT SOMEHOW ONLY COVERING CERTAIN VINS.
