FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 9/29/18, I LEASED A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID FROM SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. BEGINNING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR, ON MULTIPLE, RANDOM OCCASIONS GASOLINE LEAKED OUT OF MY GAS TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT TENDS TO BE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME - AFTER WORK, WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR >8 HOURS, WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A WEEK VACATION, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD SMELL A POWERFUL ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE ME CHECK THE GAS TANK AREA. SEVERAL TIMES, I WITNESSED THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IN ALL CASES THERE WERE GASOLINE STAINS ON THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE GAS TANK. AND THE SIDE OF MY WHITE CAR HAS A PERMANENT YELLOW STREAK DOWN THE SIDE FROM THE LEAKING GAS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT, BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD BE HAPPENING WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT GOING ON ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. THEY SAID I MUST BE OVERFILLING MY GAS TANK OR NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP ENOUGH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE GAS LEAKING OUT AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT, AND I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 120 MILES SINCE MY LAST FILL UP. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THE PICTURES TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE STILL SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. FINALLY, I CALLED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE LINE AND REPORTED IT. THEY HAD ME GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS LINE WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FROM WEAR-AND-TEAR FROM FILLING THE GAS TANK, NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD <6000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LEAK WAS DETECTED). THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS (J0G) FOR "FUEL DELIVERY PIPES THAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT". I THINK MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW.

POWER TRAIN
CAR CONTINUES TO SLIP AND REV UP DURING MANY UP-SHIFTS OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. AFTER SOME TIME THAT IT HAS WARM ENOUGH IT WILL STOP DOING IT, BUT IT ALWAYS SLIPS AND REVS UP BETWEEN THIRD AND FOURTH SHIFT. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FEW YEARS NOW, BUT NO ONE HAD SHOWED UP WITH A RIGHT SOLUTION.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION: MY PARTNER AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, FRIGHTENING EXPLOSION ABOVE AND SLIGHTLY BEHIND FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER SEATS. THERE WASN'T ANY VISIBLE SIGN OF BROKEN WINDOWS, BODY DAMAGE OR A WOBBLY TIRE TO INDICATE THE CAUSE. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND US. WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND THE CAR TO HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NOR, WAS THERE ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN OPEN GRASSY AREAS. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS BEHIND OR ABOVE US TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS LOUD, SCARY NOISE. WE PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT TO EXAMINE THE CAR. WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR OR THE TIRES, BUT WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOOR, WE COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF BROKEN GLASS ABOVE US FROM THE AREA OF THE SUNROOF. THERE WAS A VERY LARGE RECTANGULAR AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF THAT WAS MISSING. THE SURROUNDING GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. LATER WE COULD HEAR THE LARGE SECTION OF GLASS SLIDING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE ABOVE THE SHADE COVER WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP OR STARTED UP AFTER HAVING STOPPED.

STEERING
POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, NOT AT ALL AT LOW SPEEDS REQUIRING MUCH STRONGER INPUT FROM DRIVER. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED GEAR ASSEMBLY, ELECTRIC AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY, STEERING. CAR HAS 55K MILES THEREFORE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER POINTED TO CORROSION LIKELY CAUSED BY MY DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH SALT WATER (MY ROAD FLOODS IN SPRING TIDES). BUT PEOPLE DRIVE IN SALTY CONDITIONS IN THE SNOW BELT EVERYDAY. I FEEL ANYTHING THAT CAUSES THE STEERING OF A CAR TO CEASE NORMAL OPERATION LIKE THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY CAUSES EYE IRRITATION AND BURNING. MOSTLY LIKELY THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY HVAC SYSTEM AND/OR COMPARTMENT SEALS THAT COULD BE CHANNELING TRACE AMOUNTS OF EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE MY OTHER CAR, I.E. MY EYES AREN'T THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED THAT I MAY BE INHALING SOMETHING TOXIC AND AM ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON LONG DRIVES.

STEERING
AS I DRIVE DOWN A ROAD MOSTLY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE STEERING GOES VERY ERRATIC. IT GETS A WIDE RANGE OF MOVEMENT AND FEELS AS IF I AM LOSING CONTROL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS I DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT UP AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR STEERING IN THE 2015 CAMRY, BUT, NO RECALL FOR MY CAR WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN #.

STRUCTURE:BODY
TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA SERVICE STATION FOR MAINTENANCE. SERVICE STATION HAD A HARD TIME GETTING HOOD OPENED. THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS RUSTED. I WAS RECOMMENDED TO BUY A NEW ONE, ALSO ADVISED THAT NEXT TIME TO GET IT OPENED IT MAY HAVE TO BE BROKEN OFF. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT THE HOOD MAY GET STUCK IN THE OPENED POSITION, OR COME OPENED. I DID NOT PURCHASE IT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAD MY BREAKS CHANGED BACK IN JULY, BEFORE I LEFT ON MILITARY ORDERS. WHEN I CAME BACK HOME, I NOTICED MY CAR WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS REALLY HARD FOR THEM TO WORK. OR THEY WOULD STILL BE ENGAGED LIKE, MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO DRIVE. AS WELL MY CAR WOULD REV UP, IN PARK MODE. OR WHILE I'M WAITING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'VE NOTICED A POPPING SOUND ON LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR AS WELL. MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM WILL SOMETIMES CUT OFF EVERYTHING IN MY CAR. I WILL HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF WAIT A FEW MINS AND TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON, I TOOK IT TO BODY SHOP. THEY RAN A TEST ON IT. AND STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND REST CODES. I USE THIS CAR TO AND FROM WORK. I GET FREQUENTLY MAINTENANCE CHECKS. THE ONLY THING I'VE HAD DONE TO CARE WAS REPLACEMENT OF HEAD LIGHT FROM A DEER HITTING ME. I'VE NOTICED MALFUNCTION PRIOR TO DEER HITTING ME. I WAS TOLD BY BODY SHOP TO REPORT ISSUES.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMERY 2013. I HAVE NO ACCIDENT AT ALL SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. BUT ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH ON REASON. I FELT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE IF THERE IS A COLLISION HAPPENS, MY AIRBAG WONT PUMP OUT. I HAVE VISITED TO DIFFERENT CAR DEALOR. THEY SAID THE WIRE CIRCUIT MIGHT BE WRONG SINCE THEY TRIED TO SWITCH AIRBAG MODULES OR THE SENSOR NOTHING WORKS SO FAR. I ASSUME THE AIRBAG WHICH IS THE KEY COMPONENT FOR OUR DRIVERS' SAFETY SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST THAN WHAT I EXPERIENCED.
