STEERING
CAR PULLS SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AFTER STARTING UP AND DRIVING. IF I STOP AND TURN OF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR IT WILL RUN PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF I PARK THE CAR AND HAVE THE WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AS WHEN YOU ARE ON A HILL. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I REALIZED I COULD CORRECT THE PULLING BY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE WHEELS POINTING STRAIGHT.THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING ISSUE (#15V144000) BUT TOYOTA MANUFACTURER STATES THAT MY VIN # ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS (50+) ON LINE AND WITH BLUEBOOK ON THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T SEE ANY INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MAYBE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. IF I PAY TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE AND A RECALL IS ISSUED IS TOYOTA REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE ME? THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY IN MARCH 2020 BUT MORE OFTEN NOW. WITH COVID-19 I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING REGULARLY.

ENGINE
THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING WAY TOO MUCH OIL AND AFTER LOOKING AT COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I REALIZED THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SENT OUT A LETTER YEARS AGO IN 2016 I BELIEVE BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF NOTICE ABOUT THIS SO CALLED EXTENDED WARRANTY TO WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX THE DEFECT PISTONS IN THE ENGINE. SO NOW THEY SAY IT IS PAST THE TIME FRAME AND MILES TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST. NOW IT IS BURNING MORE OIL AND GETTING WORSE AND TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX THEIR MISTAKE. BAD BUISNESS!

ENGINE
ENGINE LOWER CASE CRANK SEAL LEAK. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA CORP. NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT OIL. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ENGINE STOPPAGE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND FEAR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $2200.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL TYPE THE DATE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BECAUSE IT IS ASKING DATE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WON'T TAKE RECENT DATES. THANK YOU.

MAJORITY OF DASH HAS A THICK, STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD VERY DIFFICULT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH, 3RD AND 4TH SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS, THE VEHICLE HESITATES. SOMETIMES IT IS SOMEWHAT CLEAR TO ACCELERATE, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING A WALL THAT WILL NOT MOVE. I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ECU AND A POSSIBLE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY THE NHTSA PROACTIVELY, AND NOT LEFT TO THE INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER TO SEE IF THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF. IF THE CAR FAILS IN MOVING TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HIT ME FROM BEHIND. AT THIS TIME, I AM HAVING TO GO FROM 2ND SPEED TO 4TH SPEED BY 40 MPH TO GO AROUND 3RD GEAR ALTOGETHER. THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE CAR SHOULD OPERATE. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD AT ANY TIME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING MID 30'S AND BELOW, MY CAR DOES NOT GET UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT SITS NEAR THE COLD MARK AND I HAVE INADEQUATE HEAT OUTPUT THROUGH MY VENTS WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN I'M DRIVING IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THE DEFROSTER ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO MELT THE ICE. I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND IT STILL PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS. I'VE TALKED TO SOME TOYOTA TECHNICIANS AND THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION. PLEASE NOTE IN MY PICTURE I'VE ATTACHED THE 28 MINUTES OF DRIVE TIME WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 39 MPH WITH MY NEAR COLD TEMP GAUGE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LEADING TO A CRASH. MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED UNDER TOYOTA'S FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY FUEL PRESSURE GOES TO NEAR 0 PSI WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA TECHNICIANS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT DUE TO HAVING TO DRIVE SO LONG AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR ME. I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER IF TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR, THE PART WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND WILL LIKELY TO HAVE THE SAME RESULT.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION DELAYS, IT BUCKS AND LAGS WHEN SWITCHING LANES AND DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ACCELERATION DELAYS WHEN MAKING A LEFT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS, I RECEIVED A VEHICLE ALERT MESSAGE ON MAY 30TH AT 10:30AM REGARDING THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM. "A MALFUNCTION IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS BEEN DETECTED. CONTACT YOUR TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTED." THE AIRBAG CHECK LIGHT NEVER LIGHTED SO I DIDN'T SEE THIS MESSAGE UNTIL A MONTH IN A HALF LATER. DANGEROUS FOR MY PASSENGER WHICH IS USUALLY MY OLDEST SON. THE CAR IS IN THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE AIRBAG ISSUE. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR DUE TO ACCELERATION DELAYS. THE VIN# IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT. IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER CARS BEING RECALLED. THE THIRD PROBLEM: VERY RANDOMLY THE SEAT BELT ALERT ALARM WILL START BEEPING WHILE I'M DRIVING MY SMALLEST SON. BOTH OF US HAVE OUR SEAT BELTS AND I DO NOT OWN A BIG HEAVY BAG. THE CAR WONT STOP UNTIL I PULL OVER, PARK, TURN IT OFF AND ON. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BUT IT HAPPENS VERY RANDOMLY.

I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT MY CAMRY'S DASH BOARD. IT HAS BECOME VERY DISTURBING DUE TO IT LITERALLY MELTING. I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH MY DASH BOARD WITHOUT MY FINGERS AND HANDS GETTING STUCK TO IT. MY CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER BUT THE TEXAS HEAT HAS RUINED WHAT I TRY TO KEEP IN PRISTINE CONDITION.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE AC DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR AT ALL. THE ECO BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. WHEN PRESSED, THE CAR STALLS. THIS WAS WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. TOO AFRAID TO TRY WHILE DRIVING. VISIBILITY IS POOR. I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKES NUMEROUS SINCE ACHIEVING OWNERSHIP.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE GLUE IS OOZING THROUGH THE TOP AND NOW RESTRICTS MY FORWARD VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY. IT IS VERY STICKY/REFLECTIVE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT NOW I CANNOT SEE ALL OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME. IF THE SUN IS AT THE RIGHT ANGLE IT IS BLINDING.

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING LOUD NOISES WHEN MAKING TURNS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE ON STANDBY SUCH AS ON THE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR INDICATES THAT THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2016 HAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MEANING IT DOES NOT RUN OF STEERING FLUID. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY 2020. MY CAR IS SALVAGED BUT IT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY REAR ENDED ON THE LEFT SIDE, ONLY EXTERNAL DAMAGE AND NO INTERNAL DAMAGE. THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE IS 62,000. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN OCCURRING ISSUE WITH ALL TOYOTA CAMRYS WITH ELECTRICAL STEERING. THE VEHICLE IS USED TO DRIVE TO GROCERY STORES, WORK, COLLEGE, AND ROAD TRIPS. ALIGNMENT AND ROTATION IS DONE ROUTINELY AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN RECENTLY CHANGED. I DON'T NOT SPEED ON MY TURNS AND I DON'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. I CURRENTLY DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S MAKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BUT I HOPE IT ISN'T AN ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS TRYING TO USE MY BRAKES WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF TE BRAKES PEDAL.MY FOOT PUSHED THE BRAKES PEDAL AND THE GAS PEDAL. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE BRAKES PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL IS ONLY 2.5 INCH. THE BRAKES BOOSTER PUSHED THE BRAKES PEDAL DOWN TO THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE GAS PEDAL.
