ENGINE
ENGINE OVERHEATED AND HEAD GASKET BLOWN DUE TO HEAD BOLT THREADS BEING STRIPPED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF BEING STUCK ON A DANGEROUS ROAD OR LEFT TO WALK ALONE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR THIS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD EITHER VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN OR NOT ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN EVEN IF YOU ARE CONTROLLING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DOES WHAT IT WANTS. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ONE TIME WE ALMOST HIT A CURB WITH THE TIRES BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR IT WAS GOING WHERE I WANTED TO. THE TIRES WERE OUT EXTREMELY FAST I NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE THE WARRANTY THERE LIKE BALD WITH IN LIKE A COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES EVEN TO JUST TWO MONTHS AND THEY'RE BALD AND THE ALIGNMENT SPINE I'VE HAD IT CHECKED. I CHANGE ALL THE FLUIDS ON TIME AND TAKING CARE OF MAINTAINING THE CAR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S DOING THIS CAN YOU PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD IS SEVERELY DISTORTED. DURING THE DAYTIME, WHILE MOVING, OR SEEING MOVING OBJECTS, IT IS UNUSUALLY HARD TO JUDGE SPEED AND DISTANCE DUE TO THE DISTORTIONS. AT NIGHTTIME, THE DISTORTIONS BEND, TWIST LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND A VISIT FROM A TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD HAVE BEEN MET WITH REFUSAL TO MAKE REPAIRS. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE WINDSHIELD DEFECTS BUT SAYS "THEY ARE COMPARABLE TO LIKE VEHICLES." HE REFUSED TO EXAMINE OTHER NEW "LIKE" MODELS WITH ME BECAUSE HIS ASSERTION IS ERRONEOUS.

ENGINE
THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE ON MY 2009 CAMRY MADE ME ALMOST CRASH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BASICALLY I HAD MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND LOST THE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY RISKING THE CAR BEHIND ME CRASHING INTO ME. I HAVE THE 2.4L ENGINE. THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BURNING OIL DUE TO FAULTY PISTONS, AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENGINE BURNS A LOT OF OIL TOO NOT ONLY RISKING MY LIFE BY HAVING MULTIPLE MISFIRES, BUT IT ALSO RUINS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF OIL THAT I USE TO CONSTANTLY TOP IT OF.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS (OIL, BRAKE, ABS, CHECK ENGINE) ALL OF IT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND MADE A NOISE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN , WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH A COMMUTE, AND THANK GOD I WAS NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED WAITING 10 MINUTE TO RESTART, AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN START BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING WAS DEAD AND THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS NEARLY KILLED ME.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH ON MONTGOMERY DRIVE IN PHILADELPHIA (CITY STREET) IN THE MORNING OF 12/9/2019. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT 4 TO 5 CAR-LENGTHS AHEAD. IT BRAKED AS ANOTHER CAR TRIED TO CUT IN, AND I ALSO IMMEDIATELY BRAKED. MY BRAKE FELT GRINDING AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I THOUGHT THAT BUYING A TOYOTA CAMRY WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIGHEST QUALITY. WELL I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS - TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE FACTORY WARRANTY ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT, ONLY FOR UNDER 150,000 MILES. I HAVE 155,000 MILES ON MY CAMRY XLE. SO I CALLED TOYOTA AND WANTED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THEM. THEY WERE NICE BUT IN THE END THEY WERE UNWILLING TO WORK ANYTHING OUT. LONG STORY SHORT I NEED TO SPEND $2500 IF I WANT TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE CAR IS NOW JUNK!

ENGINE
THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR, AND IT BEGAN SHUDDERING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I'VE BEEN NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PRAY IT DOESN'T KEEP HAPPENING. ANYWAY, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED ON OCTOBER 18 2019, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH R&R TRANSMISSION FOR TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACE REAR MAIN SEAL. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE $3,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY CAMRY HAS 6K MILES ON IT. ON FRIDAY, 6 DEC 2019 AT 1600, I PICKED UP MY CAMRY FROM YUBA CITY TOYOTA AFTER HAVING ITS FIRST VEHICLE SERVICE. WHILE DRIVING ON HWY 20 TOWARDS GRASS VALLEY, CA LESS THAN 20 MIN AFTER PICKING IT UP, I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION OVER MY HEAD. IT TRULY SOUNDED LIKE A GUN WENT OFF IN MY CAR. I DUCKED, LOOKED AROUND AND REALIZED IT WAS PROBABLY THE SUNROOF BECAUSE I COULD HEAR AIR BLOWING. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE SECTION OF HWY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS BEHIND ME. THERE WERE NO TREES OVERHEAD AND IT WAS A CLEAR EVENING OUTSIDE WITH NO RAIN. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 55 DEGREES OUTSIDE ALSO. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY OBJECTS. FORTUNATELY, I HAD THE INSIDE PANEL CLOSED AND DID NOT HAVE ANY GLASS FLY INTO MY FACE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA AND THEY ARE WORKING THE ISSUE NOW, BUT IT SOUNDS AS IF THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO IT CREATING A FUTURE PROBLEM WITH CLAIMS. I WAS DRIVING 60MPH ALSO.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH THE STEERING PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT, DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT AND IN THE LANE. STEERING FELT LIGHT AND SLOPPY, LIKE A LOW TIRE OR STEERING GEAR ISSUE, VERY DANGEROUS. FASTER SPEEDS NOT AS BAD. TOWED TO DEALER, DIAGNOSED AS A "LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY". CAR STARTED AS USUAL WITH NO WARNING OF INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WARNING LIGHT BUT IT NEVER CAME ON. THE MANUAL SAYS IT MAY COME ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE STEERING ACTS UP WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARNINGS. THIS IS PROBABLY A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND NOT ISOLATED TO JUST MY CAR, ANY TOYOTA WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2019 CAMRY SE HAS A JERKY TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT LOW SPEED AND SEEMS MORE SYSTEMATIC WHEN REACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP. AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO UNDER 15 MPH OR SO AND ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN SPEED (BEFORE REACHING A FULL STOP), THE CAR TYPICALLY TAKES A SECOND OR TWO TO RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT THEN LURCHES FORWARD IN AN AGGRESSIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WAY. THIS IS NOT A MINOR INCONVENIENCE THAT ONE GETS USED TO OR CAN LEARN TO LIVE WITH. I BELIEVE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE HARM TO ME AND OTHERS IN BUSY TRAFFIC.
