MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING. WITH THE SLIGHTEST TAP TO IT, PIECES OF THE RUBBER ON THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DASHBOARDS DURING THE TIME I PURCHASED IT BUT BEING THAT I WAS NOT THE OWNER IN TOYOTA'S LOG I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA TELEPHONE AND GOTTEN NO RESULTS AND I HAVE WENT TO A TOYOTA LOT AND STILL HAVEN'T GOT ANY RESULTS. ANY AND EVERYTHING IS ABLE TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARDS PUTTING IT AT RISK OF BECOMING HOME FOR MICROORGANISMS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING RESPIRATORY ISSUES FOR ME. I AM NOT ABLE TO DISINFECT THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT. IN THE PAST I WOULD NO DOUBT RECOMMEND TOYOTA TO EVERYONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SUPPORTER OF TOYOTA BUT CURRENTLY I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN A CAR PASSES YOU WHEN IT CHANGES LANES IN FRONT OF YOU IT DECREASES THE SPEED FROM 68 MPH TO AN ABRUPT 57 MPH EVEN WHEN I HAVE 6 TO 7 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN THIS OCCURS.I STOPPED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE AND WOULD CRASH INTO MY REAR OF MY VEHICLE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2017, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR MORE I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY OR MADE A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK IT TO VANDERGRIFF TOYOTA AND AFTER TAKING IT BACK A FEW TIMES, ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN HEARD THE KNOCKING SOUND AND SAID IT WAS THE SUNROOF, I HADN'T OPENED THE SUNROOF SINCE THE GUY AT VANDERGRIFF HONDA SOLD ME THE CAR. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, INFORMED THE YOUNG MAN I HAD GOOGLED SUNROOF RECALL AND SAW THAT IT INCLUDED 2014 AND SOME 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, I GAVE HIM MY VIN NUMBER AND HE SAID THIS PARTICULAR CAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I ASKED TO SPEAKE TO HIS SUPERVISOR, HE PUT ME ON HOLD, CAME BACK AND STATED AGAIN THERE NOTHING TOYOTA CAN DO. I DON'T HAVE $2500 DOLLARS OR MORE TO FIX A FACTORY DEFECT AND WOULD THINK TOYOTA WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2017, AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND JUNE 2017. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND THAT RECALL AND FIX MY CAR.

ENGINE, STEERING
MY STEERING HAS BECOME VERY STIFF. LIKE IT IS HESITATING WHEN I MAKE TURNS AS IF MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LOW BUT IT IS ELECTRICAL. MY CAR ALSO STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE THE GAS. MENTIONED IT TO DEALER WHEN FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2018 AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE THAT WAS IN IT. STEERING HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF, SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN OR LANE CHANGE. ENGINE HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ISSUE CHECKED OUT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED A USED 2016 CAMRY HYBRID XLE IN OCTOBER 2016, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE BETWEEN AXLES, IT PRODUCES A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE MOON ROOF AREA WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA BUILT MANY DEFECTIVE VEHICLES WITH POOR SUNROOF FRAME INSTALLATION, AND THE CUSTOMER IS HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DRIVE A NEW SHITTY CAR THAT MAKES NOISES ALL THE TIME. IT IS RATHER UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF, AND THE NHTSA SHOULD MAKE TOYOTA RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES TO TEACH THE MANUFACTURER A LESSON. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER, AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THERE IS A REPAIR PROCEDURE INCLUDED IN TSB 0151-13 HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO DEAL WITH CAR MANUFACTURER'S INADEQUACY, BECAUSE THEIR INSPECTION PROGRAM IS WORTHLESS. ALL THAT I WANT IS TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, AND ENJOY A NICE RIDE.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE "SHUDDERS" (FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS) AND LASTS ABOUT 3 SECONDS. HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 25 - 40 MPH. MECHANIC SAID ITS A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTOR. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS AN "ENHANCED WARRANTY" THAT WAS EXTENDED FOR CAMRY'S 2012-2014 AND I SHOULD VISIT THE DEALERSHIP. I SENT CAR TO TOYOTA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ DEALERSHIP FOR FIX, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT DOES NOT INVOLVE MY VIN #. EVEN THOUGH ITS THE YEAR AND THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY CLOSED THE CASE, STATING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN ASSIST WITH FURTHER. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS PROBLEM ORIGINATED IN 2012, AND TOYOTA WAS STILL PUTTING BAD TORQUE CONVERTERS INTO THEM IN 2014, 2 YEARS LATER AND THEN STATING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE VIN, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME? I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016, NOW KNOWING THAT IT CAME WITH AN ISSUE IDENTIFIED YEARS EARLIER BY THE MAKER. IF THIS PROBLEM WAS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ENOUGH TO A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT THEY EXTENDED THE COVERAGE FOR 8 YEARS, 150,000 MILES, THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO COVER ANYONE WITH A CAMRY FOR THOSE 2 YEARS, NOT JUST DEPENDENT UPON A VIN #. IT SHOULD BE DEPENDENT UPON THE ISSUE HAPPENING WITH THE CAR, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHARGE INNOCENT FOLKS $3000 FOR A FIX THAT THEY CAUSED!

ENGINE
IN 2015 I NOTICED I WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST, SO I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE PISTON RINGS (A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED), AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 2020, AND I'M BURNING THROUGH 2.5 QUARTS EVERY FILL-UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND 'CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE' WAS DETECTED ALONG WITH A BAD SPARK PLUG. I HAD TO SPEND AROUND $400 TO FIX A COIL AND SPARK PLUG BECAUSE THE 3RD CYLINDER HAD EXPANDED AND WAS SPILLING OVER. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME ADDING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1/2 TANK. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $2,000-$3,000 TO FIX. I'VE SEEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO BAD PISTON RINGS. I WAS FORCED TO GET A NEW CAR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THIS.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY, THERE WAS A TEMPORARY DASH REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. IT WAS CONSIDERED A WARRANTY EXTENSION AS OPPOSED TO A RECALL AND IT WAS A LIMITED TIME WHERE OWNERS COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED DURING THAT LIMITED TIME SPA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS PAST YEAR AND UPON PURCHASING AND SPENDING A SUMMER IN SAN ANTONIO WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY I EXPERIENCED WHAT THE DASH RECALL/TOYOTA REPLACEMENT POLICY WAS INTENDED TO REPAIR. THE DASH TURNS TO MUSH IN THE HEAT AND IT IS VERY, ALMOST MALLEABLE. FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, IT CREATES A GLARE THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE FROM THE DRIVERS POINT OF VIEW AND FURTHERMORE THERE'S BEEN REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASH. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA ABOUT POSSIBLY HELPING ME REPAIR MY DASH AND THEY SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE MANUFACTURES DAMAGES. I WANTED TO FILE A CLAIM FOR RECONSIDERATION IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIAL HE BE A HAZARD OR A DANGER TO MY FAMILY.

POWER TRAIN
CAR STARTS TO SHUTTER AND ACCELERATION DECREASED BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE SHUDDER CAUSES THE CAR TO LAG AT THIS TIME. WE BEGAN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 30,000 MILES FOR THE ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS A SERVICE ORDER TO CARS SOFTWARE BUT THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT PROBLEM WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE ORDER, BUT NO NOTICE EVER CAME AND THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED WHEN CAR WAS TOOK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TOYOTA SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE CAR AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOR THIS CAR, COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS CUSTOMER SHOW THAT HALF OF THE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NEEDED REPLACED EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO RECALL OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2012-2014 CAMRY. THE LAG AND POTENTIAL MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS ARE A DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THE LAG ON THIS CAR.
