SUN VISORS HAVE DEFECTIVE PART AND FAIL TO GO ALL THE WAY AGAINST WINDSHIELD AND EVENTUALLY THE PART BREAKS AND VISOR IS UNABLE TO BE PROPERLY PUT UP (AGAINST THE ROOF OF CAR) AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN NOT IN USE. VISOR HANGS IN FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING AND IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AHEAD AND CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TOYOTA EVIDENTLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN/ WARRANTY EXTENSION WHEREIN THEY WOULD REPAIR FOR SEVEN YEARS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE FOR 2007-2011 VEHICLES. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE. HAD THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2015, YET SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PUBLISHED AND WELL-KNOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN OBSTRUCTION TO MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN DRIVING AND HAS CREATED SOME HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WOULD A RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I DROVE TO WORK ONE DAY, PARKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT AT LUNCH, UNHOOKED THE VISOR AND TRIED TO USE IT. I WAS PROBABLY STATIONARY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MOVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED.

OUR 2007 CAMRY CONSTANTLY EATS OIL. WE CHECK IT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS AND IT'S NOT ON THE DIP STICK. I ADD ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL 3 QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES... THIS IS NOT NORMAL! CAR DOES NOT SMOKE NOR IS IT LEAKING THE OIL.

VISIBILITY
THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAMRY IS MELTING CAUSING A STICKY RESIDUE. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, SUN CAUSES A GLARE ON TO THE WINDSHIELD PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING ANY ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR OBJECTS. WITHOUT CLEAR VISIBILITY DRIVING THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME SEVERAL NEAR HEAD ON COLLISIONS WITH ONGOING TRAFFIC. DRIVING THIS CAR I PURCHASED SCARES ME THAT THIS IS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD TAKE MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE ON ROAD I MAY HIT. TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE DASH ISSUE YEARS PRIOR BUT ONLY FIXED SOME OF THIS DEFECTED DASHES BY CREATING A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. IF THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT OR KNOWN IT WAS REPLACEABLE WITH IN THEIR WINDOW OF TIME, THEY WILL NOT MAKE THEIR DEFECTED DASH CORRECT. I REALIZE OVER TIME ALL COMPONENTS OF A CAR HAVE WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS NOT THAT ISSUE AT ALL. THIS IS A ISSUE OF A DASH BEING USED THAT HAS A CHEMICAL WHILE IN SUN MELTS. THERE WAS TWO PRIOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND TO PREVENT A RECALL AND NOTIFYING ALL OWNERS OF THIS DEFECT AND CORRECTING IT FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS IN THEIR PRODUCT BUT ALSO DRIVERS IN OTHER AUTOS WHICH ARE NOW AT DANGER IF THIS VIABILITY CAUSES A CAMRY DRIVER TO COLLIDE WITH THEIR AUTO. THIS DEFECT EFFECTS ALL DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY NOT JUST THE TOYOTA DRIVERS. I HAVE BEEN TO AND CALLED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND MY FEAR OF DRIVING. I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN ABLE TO GET NO RECOURSE FOR THIS DEFECT. I AM VERY AWARE OF THE COST TO FIX THIS DEFECT HOWEVER I FEEL THE COST OF EVERY LIFE REPLACING THIS DASH SAVES IS WORTH WELL MORE THAN THE COST TO REPLACE THE DEFECTED DASH. I PLEAD FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE A HUGE PROBLEM & THE TRAP INVOLVED WITH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT TOYOTA IMPLEMENTED VERSUS RECALLING THE DASHBOARDS, GETTING THEM OFF THE ROAD TO MAKE HIGHWAY DRIVING SAFER FOR NON TOYOTA OWNERS SIMPLY DRIVING & OWNERS WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY PAY WITH THEIR LIFE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY SE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN OUT OF WITHOUT WARNING THE ABS, BRAKE AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON; THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED AND HE COULD BARELY GET THE CAR TO TURN ONTO THE ON RAMP TO GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. WE ALSO REALIZED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NO LONGER WORKING AS WELL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD. CONSIDERING WE WERE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND THE POWER STEERING BASICALLY BECAME INOPERABLE, IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE 2013 VEHICLES FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THAT PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED FOR THAT RECALL IN 2014, WHICH WAS PRIOR TO ME OWNING THE CAR. AFTER, THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAIR UNDER A RECALL, THERE'S A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THAT REPAIR. SO WE'RE BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK AND HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OURSELVES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED MY 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK WITH 5 MILES ON IT. NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN RESUMING TO DRIVE FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR SEEM TO HAVE A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND MAKES A LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. EVEN PRESSING DOWN A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL DURING THIS INITIAL ACCELERATION, THE CAR DOES NOT REACT MUCH AND BARELY PICKS UP SPEED. THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY, ONE THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO AVOID BEING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. HAVE NOT TAKEN VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER BUT DID TEXT MY SALESMAN AND DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AND HE SAID TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT. I HAVE A FEELING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL COME BACK SAYING IT'S NOTHING IS WRONG AND FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS SAFETY CONCERNS TIED TO IT. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. NEED TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE.*DT

ENGINE
TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESSIVE OIL. TOYOTA ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE MY CAR IS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAD OVER 150K MILES, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE TSB. THEY ESTIMATE IT WILL COST $5000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR DELAY/HESITATION WHEN HITTING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT TAKES 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE REACTS. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE LANE TRAFFIC - THE CHANCES OF BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION ARE HIGH. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH A DEALER AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE THE ISSUE THAT I AM EXPERIENCING - IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES! I AM FED UP WITH THE LACK OF ACTION TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS FLAW.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN CRUISE MODE AND SUDDENLY WARNING AND PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON TOGETHER, AND A MESSAGE POPS-UP IN THE SCREEN SHOWING THE CRUISE CONTROL IS UNAVAILABLE. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL GETS DISABLED AND THE CAR START DROPPING THE SPEED UNLESS CONTROLLED MANUALLY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES THE LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO BACK TO NORMAL. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CALIBRATED SOME SENSORS BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WENT OFF. I COULD'VE DIED. I WAS GOING 65MPH WHEN I DROPPED SOMETHING AND WENT TO PICK IT UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE, THEN THROWN INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADS GUARD RAIL WHERE I STOPPED FINALLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE SHOCKED THE AIR BAGS DIDNT GO OFF BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE SHOULD HAVE. I'M HURT FROM THIS INCIDENT AND POSSIBLY COULD'VE BEEN LESS INJURED HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR HAS AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL THE CAR BRIEFLY ACCELERATES AND THEN THE RPM DROPS AND THE CAR ALMOST DECELERATES. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN THE CAR STARTS TO JERK BACK AND FORTH UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE PROBLEM IS VERY REPRODUCIBLE AND MY SALES MANAGERS AT TOYOTA SUNNYVALE WERE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THEY EVEN CLAIMED TO HAVE DRIVEN A NUMBER OF OTHER SIMILAR CARS AND TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS "NORMAL" BEHAVIOR (WHICH CONFIRMS THAT A LOT OF CARS SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM). THEY ALSO SAID THE CAR IS "LEARNING", WHICH IS TOTALLY BOGUS. AFTER APPROACHING THEM WITH SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0330-17 WHICH DESCRIBES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT FOR 2018 MODEL, THEY CLAIMED MY CAR CAN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM SINCE BULLETIN IS FOR 2018, BUT THE CARS HAVE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSIONS.
