SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
COMPLETE REPLACEMENT REQUIRED OF BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS, BACKING PLATES, BRAKE CALIPERS, PADS AND ROTORS, WITH RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF TIRES, ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 52,000 MILES. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE INITIAL REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS ALMOST $4000.00. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, AGREED TO REPAIR FOR ABOUT $2500.00 (PASS THROUGH COST OF PARTS). THIS MATTER CAME TO LIGHT UPON HEARING A 'SCREECHING' NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING - THE SCREECHING NOISE SUGGESTING A WHEEL BEARING WAS FAILING. MANUFACTURER ALLEGES REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED DUE TO EXPOSURE OF THESE PARTS TO ROAD SALT. HOWEVER, I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES THAT WERE EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT AND NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH PROBLEMS. CONTRARY TO THE MANUFACTURER'S ALLEGATION, I SUSPECT A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THESE PARTS. IN FACT, ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE ABOVE PROBLEM, ANOTHER LIKE VEHICLE THAT WE OWN (2017 MODEL WITH ABOUT 15,000 MILES) EXPERIENCED A FROZEN REAR BRAKE CALIPER (ALLEGEDLY FOR THE SAME REASON, NAMELY, EXPOSE TO ROAD SALT) THAT IS BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEAL (JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA, ALEXANDRIA VA), AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO NOTIFY FOR RECALL SAFETY ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR @2,171.46 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' TOYOTA'S METHODS TO NOTIFY ARE INADEQUATE AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING - ME AND MANY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND TOYOTA'S WARRANT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY DO SUCH A POOR JOB OF CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF ROAD GLARE AT NIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN. I HOPE THE NTSB CAN PLEASE ADVANCE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RECENTLY 'AUGUST 2019' I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ON A 'CLOUDY DAY' FOR MY SON TO DRIVE TO N.C. FOR COLLEGE. HE CAME HOME FOR AN OVERNIGHT VISIT AND I NOTICED HIS DASH WAS VERY SHINY AND HAD A HORRIBLE GLARE. THE GLARE WAS SO BAD I WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS IMPAIRING HIS ABILITY TO SEE. I NOTICED ON TOYOTA'S WEBSITE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DASH BUT READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT REPLACING THEM IN A TIMELY FASHION AND FOR ONLY SO MANY YEARS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO THIS IS FOR SURE A VISIBILITY HAZARD AND MY SON OR OTHERS COULD BE KILLED DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ERRATICALLY, WHEN CRUISING AT A CONSTANT SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IT FEELS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFT THEN UP SHIFTED, THIS HAPPENS A FEW OF TIMES A WEEK TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL IN 4 CYLINDER, BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR I HAVE 2013 CAMRY WITH NO SUCH ISSUE. THE MOST ANNOYING, BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS SOUND HOLLOW AND MAKE A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN SHUTTING THE DOORS. THEY SOUND LIKE METAL BANGING OR HOLLOW TIN CANS. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THAT THE ADHESIVE ON THE DOOR SKIN COULD BE BAD CAUSING THE METAL THUMPING SOUND. I CAN MAKE A VIDEO AND SEND IT TO YOU GUYS IF NEEDED. THANK YOU.

THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A RECALL ON THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAD A WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE MELTING DASHBOARD. THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE GLARE THAT IT PRODUCES. THE CAR OWNER SHOULD NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ERROR TOYOTA CREATED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT A RECALL WARRANTY SHOULD NEVER EXPIRE FOR SOMEONE WHO PAID FOR A VEHICLE WITH EXPECTATIONS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUES.

THERE IS LIQUID LEAKING UNDER THE PASSENGER'S SEAT CAUSING A HORRIBLE STENCH IN THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO DOWNTOWN AUTO CENTER IN OAKLAND, CA AND WORKED WITH ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER PATRICK WHO INFORMED THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN" ISSUE WITH TOYOTA BUT NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. HE SAID THAT DEBRIS GETS CLOGGED IN THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTILATION SYSTEM CAUSING THE LEAK UNDER THE SEAT. HE CHARGED ME $200 (REDUCED TO $100 WHEN I COMPLAINED) TO CLEAR THE LINE BUT DID NOT FIX THE LEAKED WATER, RUINED CARPET OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE HORRIBLE STENCH IN THE CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA FOR NOT COVERING THIS KNOWN ISSUE IN MY 2017 CAMRY WITH LESS THAN 25K MILES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION COULD BE DANGEROUS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR DROPPED, BLINDING MY SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT, BUT HAD SAID AT THE TIME THAT IF THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET APPEARED, WE SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PERIOD HAS EXPIRED, THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY CONCERN. A RECALL IS WARRANTED. NOT ONLY IS VISIBILITY SEVERELY IMPAIRED WHILE DRIVING, BUT ALSO REMOVING THE VISOR EXPOSES THE DRIVER TO STRONG SUN GLARES THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY.

MY 2011 CAMRY IS SUPER WHITE AND THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY COME OFF. I NOTICED ALL THE SHINE WAS GONE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A WAX JOB AND HE INFORMED ME THE CLEAR COAT IS COMPLETELY GONE. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I WASH MY CAR, THE WHITE PAINT COMES OFF. I ALSO HAVE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE STARTED TO FORM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD (1841 N STATE ROAD 7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021, 855-472-9747) WHERE THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS CHARGED A $250 SERVICE FEE FOR THE LABOR REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY), WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE INITIAL DASHBOARD FAILURE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. RECENTLY, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT AGAIN AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH HAVING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOTIFY THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. THE CONTACT SUBMITTED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT, BUT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEND ON 8/3/2019, MY OIL LIGHT BLINKED ON AND OFF AND IT WAS NOT TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SO I CHECKED IT THE NEXT DAY AND I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN TONIGHT 9/12/2019, I HAVE SYNTHETIC OIL AND THE LIGHT LITTERALY JUST CAME ON AT THE 5K MARK. LEAVING MY MOM THE OIL LIGHT BLINKED ON AND OFF AGAIN. TOOK TO OREILY AND I HAD NO OIL IN THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE A LEAK SO OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IS NOW BURNING OIL LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. COME ON TOYOTA, YOU GUYS NEED TO DO BETTER WITH THIS AND RECALL THE 2010'S AS WELL BEFORE I BLOW UP MY ENGINE.

WHILE CAR WAS GOING 30-35MPH, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC. LETTING GO OF THE ACCELERATOR WAS FINE, BUT WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, CAR STALLED UNDER LOW RPM FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED BACK IN MAY AND IT WAS JUST SOMETIMES. BUT NOW IT'S BEEN HAPPENING EVERYDAY ON LOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPM. IDLING IS FINE, CAR IS ALWAYS IN OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN STALLING HAPPENS (SO I KNOW THIS IS NOT RELATED TO COLD ENGINE). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY'RE NOT SURE WHAT COULD CAUSE IT.

I PURCHASED THE CAR NOT EVEN 4 MONTHS IN AND I STARTED HEARING A "KNOCKING SOUND" IN THE ENGINE. I TOOK VIDEOS OF IT. I NOTICED THE THE KNOCKING SOUND COMES ON WHEN I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE. I TOOK THE CAR THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO. THE SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AND SAID HE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. THEY RAN TESTS ON IT AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SERVICE REP SAID HE DROVE THE CAR FOR 5 MINS ON THE STREET. BUT I TOLD HIM THE SOUNDS STARTS AFTER I DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE AND IN THE FREEWAY. THEY SENT ME HOME AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. I DROVE THE CAR AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SOUND CAME BACK ON. I ALSO HAVE FELT WHAT OTHER CAMRY USERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. IT DOES TAKE TIME TO PICK UP SPEED AND IT CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING ONTO FREEWAYS AND LANES. NEED TO GET THIS FIX OR THEY NEED TO MAKE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL.
