APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF AS MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. THAN THE DOOR HANDLE BEHIND THAT CAME OFF WHEN MY CHILD WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH LATER. FOLLOWING BOTH THOSE INCIDENTS I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES AND WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT HANDLE JUST CAME OFF. THE ONLY HANDLE REMAINING ON THE CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. NO ONE PULLED ON THE HANDLES HARDER TO OPEN THE DOORS. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN! I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN TOYOTAS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED! I DO NOT USE MY CAR FOR ANYTHING LIKE UBER OR LYFT WERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NORMAL AND I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO 3 DOOR HANDLES! I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY CHILD. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOYOL TOYOTA CUSTOMERS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND I AM JUST BESIDE MYSELF THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SLOW ACCELERATION DURING 1ST 1 OR 2 GEARS. ALMOST HAD MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN HIGHWAY DUE TO SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN CHANGING LANES. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO ACCELERATION WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS USED. THE VEHICLE HAS A COUPLE OF SECONDS DELAY UNTIL IT CHANGING INTO NEXT GEAR. DEALER NON RESPONSIVE. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DROVE MY CAR WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I EXPLAINED THAT MY PREVIOUS (3) V6 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION, HE TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. THE NEW 8- SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFERENT SHIFT SETTINGS WHICH EXPLAINS THE ACCELERATION DELAY AND SOMETIMES CAUSES A JERKY MOTION FROM A DEAD STOP, DRIVING IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC OR WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO THE TECH, THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH NO FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE CAR WILL "LEARN" MY DRIVING HABITS THE MORE I DRIVE IT.

MY CAR STARTED A HAVING A VIBRATION/SHUDDER WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE STREET AND FREEWAY FROM SPEEDS OF 25MPH TO 50MPH. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ON TURNS . I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION BUT AFTER I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE I LEARNED THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THEY DO. ITS SEEMS TO BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I LOOKED UP THE HISTORY OF THIS TORQUE PROBLEM AND IT GOES BACK AS FAR AS 2011 FOR TOYOTA CAMRY. I NEED THIS FIX BY TOYOTA AND TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR GIVEN THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIX FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL.

I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARBONE SUBARU OF TROY NY ON 11/27 2018. (COMPLAINT ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED DECEMBER, 2019). THE CAR WAS A LEMON. I FINALLY GOT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE (WITH CLEAN CARFAX) ON 12/31/18. ON 8/30/19, CAR WAS TOTALED DUE AMOUNT OF MOLD FOUND EVERYWHERE IN THE CAR, ICLUDING ROOF AND SPARE TIRE IN TRUNK. I CALLED CARBONE SUBARU SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS IGNORED. I FINALLY GOT AHOLD OF MELINDA @ LITHIA MOTOR GROUP HQ IN OREGON. I WAS TOLD SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK WITHIN A WEEK. OVER 3 WEEKS LATER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT AHOLD OF HER. I EXPLAINED TO HER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HORRIFIC ODOR IN THE CAR TO MY SALESPERSON AND TO A MECHANIC, AND WAS GIVEN AN AIR FRESHENER. I WAS TOLD THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR IN WINTER, AND WATER IS A SUMMER PROBLEM, AND THEY WOULD ONLY HELP ME IF I BOUGHT A 3RD CAR FROM THEM. I NOW HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH A PULMONARY SPECIALIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS TO CHECK FOR MOLD RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT HAS ALSO COST $150 IN DOCTOR CO-PAYS SO FAR, $500 IN INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE, $1,500 FOR DOWN PAYMENT AND EXPENSES FOR HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AFTER 8 MONTHS OF OWNING THE 2014 CAMRY. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE MOLD FOUND IN CAMRY, THE COMPLETE LOSS STATEMENT BY INSURANCE, THE $20,000+ ESTIMATE TO REMEDIATE THE MOLD, AND MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION

I OWN A 2009 CAMRY LE. THE MATERIAL THAT COVERS THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND PEELING OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2018. WHEN THE SUN SHINES THE LIGHT REFLECTS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THEM TODAY (1/27/20) BUT THEY SAY IT IS NOW EXPIRED. I AM WONDERING HOW THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED FOR MY VEHICLE SINCE I NEVER GOT THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK BECAUSE I MOVED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN STATE OF OHIO THEY ISE THIS SITE TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CAR IS GASOLINE POWER, ELECTRIC L, OR HYBRID. AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY SAY YOUR COMPANY HAS MY CAR LISTED AS HYBRID FOR A 2010. AND MY CAR IS ACTUALLY GASOLINE V6 XLE. WHAT KIND OF PROOF DO I NEED TO SHOW BESIDES PICTURES OF MY ENGINE OR A LETTER FROM A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE IN SLOW MOTION AS TRYING TO MOVE OVER FROM AN ENTRANCE LANE TO A TRAFFIC LANE THE CAR WILL STALL (BOGS DOWN) WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS ALSO WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM ALMOST A STOP TO ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN LATE 2015 WHEN 2016 VEHICLES HAD ALREADY CAME OUT AND THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS EXISTED AND HAPPENS EVERY DAY THAT IT IS DRIVEN. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AND HAVE ARGUED THIS WITH DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL.

THE SUN VISORS ARE THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE CAR WERE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED AND THE NEW VISORS ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE AND DO NOT MAINTIAN THEIR POSTIION AS THEY FALL DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW MAKING A VERY SERIOUS HAZAED AND PREVENTIVE VISIBILITY TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER CALLED TOYOTA OF ORANGE AND THEY SAY THEY KNOW THE REPLACEMENTS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REPLACMENTS.
