STEERING
CAR PULLS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN MAKING A TURN STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN. THE CAR JUST KEEPS TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON VERY LOW SPEEDS OR SPEEDS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SENSOR PROBLEM, ALTERNATOR PROBLEM OR SOMETHING INVOLVING THE TOW BAR OR RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE ON THE WAY BACK FROM A SHORT TRIP TO CALIFORNIA FROM ARIZONA, OUR "SERVICE ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT BECAME DISPLAYED ON OUR DASH ALONG WITH "CHECK VSC SYSTEM." THE BRAKING BECAME SOMEWHAT ERRATIC AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO "WANDER" MORE WITHIN THE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY CASING US TO REDUCE OUR SPEED. WHEN ARRIVING HOME WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE OUR VEHICLE SERVICED AND IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY ANTI LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2900.00. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE OF THE ARTICLE I FOUND DURING MY INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE STATING "FEDS INVESTIGATE BRAKING PROBLEMS IN TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID" (HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS/FEDS-INVESTIGATE-BRAKING-PROBLEMS-IN-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRID-012814.HTML), ALONG WITH A MULTITUDE OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE WEB PERTAINING TO THIS SAME ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE ON THE DRIVE WAY AND AT 4AM ON 12/4/19 WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO WORK I REALIZED THE DASHBOARD HAD EXPLODED. NO SIGNS OF A BREAK IN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS LOCKED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE I GOT THIS CAR AND OUT OF A SUDDEN THE DASHBOARD JUST EXPLODES. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING? I AM CONCERN ABOUT ALL OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR AND MODEL WHO ARE AT RISK OF SUCH EXPLOSION.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE MELTING DASHBOARD WHICH CAUSES A SHINE WHICH REFLECTS INTO DRIVERS VISION IS A DANGER!!!! THE FACT THAT TOYOTA ALLOWS THIS TO GO ON, AND DOES NOT REMEDY IT FOR THOSE THAT (FOR WHATEVER REASON) MISSED THE NOTICES SENT OUT IS A DISGRACE, AND A DANGER TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVER, BUT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD!! HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DRIVING CARS WITH THIS ISSUE?? THESE ARE ACCIDENTS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN! MY MOTHER'S CAR DASHBOARD DID NOT BEGIN TO "MELT" UNTIL AFTER THE NOTICES WERE SENT, SO SHE DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH HERS....SURPRISE!!! IT HAS NOW BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS OR MORE. TOYOTA ONLY WANTS CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA IN OUR FAMILY!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN A DRIVEWAY, I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE AND THE THROTTLE ACCELERATED FULL ON. I TRIED TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OUT OF THE STREET BUT I COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION AND BACKED INTO A BOLDER RETAINING WALL. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID IT SHOWED ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BUT DENIED RESPONSIBILITY.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN LATE AUGUST 2019 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM SHOPPING ON A FAST SPEED STREET I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MADE A VIBRATING NOISE, THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON RED AND WITH THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY BREAKING I WAS ABLE TO GO HOME, (ABOUT A MILE), DRIVING AT 5 MPH. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER WITH COST OF AROUND $ 2,000.00. THE CAR ONLY HAD 31,026 MILES, ALL REQUESTED SERVICES WERE DONE ON TIME OR EVEN BEFORE TIME, NO SIGN OF SPONGY PEDAL OR BREAKS RED LIGHT COMING UP FOR WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR TO BE ON A TALLWAY. LATELY I DISCOVERED EMERGENCY BREAK NOT WORKING, (NEVER CHECKED AFTER REPAIRS) WHILE CAR LEFT ON DRIVE AND PUT EMERGENCY BREAKS, CAR MOVES. CERTAINLY I WILL NOT RETURN TO DEALER WHERE I WENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DID THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE EMERGENCY BREAKS AFTER BREAKS REPAIR?AS THEY HAD FORGOTTEN OTHER THING AFTER PAST SERVICES. NEVER TOYOTA AGAIN. WHEN I TALKED TO TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTER I WAS TOLD THE DEALER GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PRICE AND THEY PARTNER WITH DEALERS. I ASKED IF THE WOULD REIMBURSE SOME SINCE THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS 10 YEAR OLD! THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE, DRIVEN WEEKLY AROUND AND ONE DAY OF THE WEEK DRIVEN AT FAST SPEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER. MY CAR IS LIKE NEW, WITH ALL THE CARE I TAKE FOR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT WASHED. I NEVER HAD IN MY LIFE SOME LIKE THIS HAPPEN, ON ANY CAR I DROVE..ON 2/09/2010 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE BREAKS MAYBE THERE WAS MORE CARS THAN THEY LISTED. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME PROBLEM LIKE MINE BUT SUCH CARS SEEMED TO HAVE LOTS OF MORE MILES THAN ME, SINCERELY, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD AND IT WAS STILL TRYING TO MOVE AND I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT REVVED A LOT. THEN I TURNED IT OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN AND IS ALWAYS SEARCHING. SO MUCH SO THAT IT WILL LUNGE AT TIMES WHEN ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS ACCELERATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN SLOWLY APPLYING GAS AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS AND THEN IT SURGES AND CAUSES MY HEAD TO SLAM INTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. ALSO WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE IS DECENTLY LOUD, MORE SO WHEN DEFROSTER IS ENGAGED. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IT TENDS TO DO BETTER, BUT MOST ISSUES APPEAR TO BE IN CITY DAY TO DAY DRIVING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/ OR FUEL SYSTEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICE OF THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING UP 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS. INSTEAD, OUR SUN VISOR LOST RESISTANCE IN 9/2019 AND STARTED OBSTRUCTING OUR VISIBILITY AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP, BUT HANG ~2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND PRINTED OUT THE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT TOYOTA NEVER INFORMED US OF THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE VISOR CLIPS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME -WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO MANY. WE ARE BEING TOLD TO REPLACE AND REPAIR IT OURSELVES FOR $195 THOUGH THEY AGREED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS THE CLIPS ARE DEFECTIVE. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CORDIAL BUT SAID IT WAS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND A TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS DECISION. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-5 HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2011/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SUN_VISOR_WILL_NOT_STAY_UP.SHTML I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS IN THE WRONG AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX ALL FAULTY CLIPS ESPECIALLY WHEN BLOCKING YOUR VISIBILITY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OTHER DRIVERS IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING. I COULD NOT SEE SAFETY SIGNS WHEN TURNING, ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO RIP OFF THE LEFT SIDE SUN VISOR OUT OF CONCERN AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR.
