I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR ON THE TURNPIKE FOR ABOUT 3.5 S WHEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE AREA AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A FIRE THEN SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT OUT THE FIRE BY THROWING WATER ONTO THE AREA FROM A BOTTLE OF WATER I HAD IN MY CAR CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE MY ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND OTHER SYSTEMS(AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS) NO LONGER WORK. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE. THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR TO MEET ME AT A DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT IS WAS DUE TO MY WINDSHIELD BEING REPLACED 18 MONTHS PRIOR BY SAFELITE AND I DIDN'T USE TOYOTA WINDSHIELD (LETTER ATTACHED). TOYOTA RETURNED MY CAR AND THE AREA STILL HEATED UP AND SMOKED. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO REMOVE THE HOUSING BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FOUND THAT THE METAL CAMERA WAS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT (PICTURES ATTACHED). I UNPLUGGED THE CAMERA AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THAT CAMERA CONTROLS THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND MY AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/17/20. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SRS AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REAR SEATBELT ALARM CONTINOUSLY SOUND OFF ALERTING ME TO FASTEN SEATBELTS WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING BACK THERE. I TRIED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT WAS TOLD IT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO TOYOTA. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA, I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN TORN AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4,900.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MORE THAN LIKELY WOULDN'T DEPLOY. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE VVEHICLEDUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL KEEP COMING BACK UP FROM THE INTAKE (CAP) EVERY-TIME IT'S FULL AND HAPPEN ON HOT WEATHER DAYS WHILE IN PARKING LOT. IT'S HAPPENED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (BRAND NEW), THE DEALER TRIED TO REPLACE CHARCOAL CANISTER, BUT NOW AFTER A YEAR THE PROBLEM COME BACK AGAIN AND BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW, BRING TO THE DEALER NOW (DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE BEFORE), THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT AND BLAME ME FOR OVERFILL. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY REPAIR OR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY DIDN'T TOTALLY FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO BLAME IT ON THE CONSUMERS. PROBLEM STILL THERE, NOW I'M WORRY IT CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION ANYTIME. AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR TO COMMUTE FOR NOW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE AT ALL STATING THAT THE DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BOTH THE DEALER & MANUFACTURE DENIED THE RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M TIRED AND STRESSFUL WITH THEIR IRRESPONSIBLE ANSWERS. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 LE NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR WORK ALTHOUGH SINCE MY SON GAVE ME HIS CAR I STARTED USING HIS AND LEFT MINE TO USE FOR THE GYM. AS NOW I AM USING MY 2018 CAMRY NOW MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I APPLY ACCELERATION HARD FROM STOP THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE CAR PICKS UP SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE I BELIEVE THE CAMRY IS DECIDING BETWEEN GEARS AND JERKS WHEN IT SELECTS THE GEAR IT WANTS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TODAY I NOTICED DURING MY CAR PARKED AT START UP THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. AFTER MAYBE ABOUT A MIN OR TWO IT QUIETED DOWN A LIL BUT IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE WHEN YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ON ACCELERATION DELAY FROM A STOP.

AIR BAGS
IT WAS DARK AND RAINING. I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A PARKING LOT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE MEDIAN. I CROSSED IN FRONT OF A WHITE VEHICLE ON THE OUTSIDE LANE THAT WAS SLOWING AND TURNING. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ANOTHER BLACK VEHICLE ON THE INSIDE LANE THAT WAS HIDDEN FROM MY VIEW. THE LIGHTS BLENDED WITH THE GLARE OF ALL THE OTHER LIGHTS ON THE ROAD. AS I CROSSED, I WAS HIT ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY THE BLACK VEHICLE TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, NO BRAKING BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SEE ME EITHER. CAR TOTALED. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AREA SO HARD IT BROKE THE GLASS. I HAVE SIX STITCHES IN THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND HUGE HEMATOMA ON MY SCALP. LARGE GOOSE EGG HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AREA. CAUSED CONCUSSION AND HAVE POST CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME. HORRIBLE HEADACHES, BLURRY VISION, SORE AND STIFF NECK. THE OTHER VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. UPDATE 4/10/20: I STILL HAVE A SMALL HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT TEMPLE AND TWO ON MY SCALP. THEY ARE HEALING SLOWLY. I HAVE NECK ISSUES AND NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE, BUT CANNOT GET IT NOW DUE TO CORONA VIRUS.
