POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AT SPEEDS OF 30 TO 50 MPH. THE 2014 CAMRY HAS AN ABRUPT DEACCELERATION AND SHUDDER CAUSING OTHER VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND ME TO APPLY SUDDEN BRAKES THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES TO DRIVERS. PRIOR TO PURCHASING, I CONTACTED RICHARDSON TX DEALERSHIP AND PROVIDED VIN AND MILEAGE 164K TO SERVICE ADVISER. SERVICE ADVISER SAID NO PROBLEM, TOYOTA WILL COVER THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SINCE I WAS ADVISED IT WAS COVERED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MILEAGE BEING OVER 150,000 MILES. I CONTACTED CORPORATE OFFICE VIA PHONE. CANDY, THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE VIEWS MY PROFILE ON TOYOTA.COM AND CONFIRMS VIN AND MILEAGE AND STATES IT IS COVERED AND CALLS DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP TELLS CANDY IT WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND CORPORATE WILL NEED TO ABSORB THE COST. CANDY ESCALATES PROBLEM TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER, JONATHON. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE SUPERVISOR, MONIQUE VIA PHONE. MONIQUE ASKS FOR COST OF REPAIRS FROM DEALERSHIP 'BEFORE APPROVING ANYTHING.' JONATHON, THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER PROVIDES THE COST TO CORPORATE. THEN TOYOTA CORPORATE SUPERVISOR, MONIQUE DENIES COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DAYS AND PHONE CALLS AND MISLEADING INFORMATION FROM DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A 2014 CAMRY XLE REQUIRING TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AFTER CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIP PERSONNELS PROVIDED WRONG INFORMATION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT REPAIR AND DID NOT SUBMIT THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP. THIS TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION IS WELL DOCUMENTED. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF JUST A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.

WHEELS
PURCHASED USED CAMRY FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP/RAM, 8701 ABERCORN ST., SAVANNAH, GA. THE DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED THE TIRES, 4 EACH, WITH NEXEN NPR/Z AH5, 215/55R17, MAER 4618, DOT 8E8V. MY PURCHASE DATE WAS 11FEB2019 AND THE VEHICLE HAD 59,554 MILES. AT 60,325 MILES (729 MILES ON THE TIRES), DRIVING BACK FROM THE LICENSE PLATE OFFICE AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, I HEARD AIR EXITING MY LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THEN THE TIRE WAS IMMEDIATELY FLAT. I TOOK THE SAID TIRE TO CDJR DEALERSHIP FOR A TIRE REPLACEMENT AND THE ACCUSED ME OF HITTING A POTHOLE, NO POTHOLE WAS HIT AND EVENTUALLY THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. TIS PAST FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK (05/31/2019) GETTING MY PERSONAL EQUIPMENT FROM MY CAR AND WITH 63,052 (3456 MILES), I NOTICED A BULGE ON THE RIGHT HAND TIRE AT NIGHT, NO POTHOLE HAS BEEN HIT. THE BULGE IS SIMILAR TO THE TIRE THAT BLEW OUT, THE BEAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE WHEEL. I HAVE HAD 2 OF 4 NEXEN 215/55R17 THAT HAVE FAILED AND THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON OUR HIGHWAY SYSTEM, VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO INSTALL GOODYEAR TIRES AND BE RID OF THE NEXEN BRAND, VERY BAD TIRES, THANK YOU.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THEY MANUFACTURED THIS CAR AND OTHERS WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR THIS. THE MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE IN THE WINDOW MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS. PLUS, THE GOEY DASHBOARD MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO FAIL. RATHER THAN RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE CARS AND REPLACING THE DASHBOARDS ON ALL THESE CARS, TOYOTA CHOSE TO OFFER A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY, BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE IF I WOULD HAVE, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY CAR 2 MONTHS AFTER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. CAR BRAKES WEAR OUT, TIRES NEED REPLACING, DASH BOARDS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO MELT! I IMAGINE TOYOTA EXPECTS THE DASHBOARDS TO MELT IN MOST CARS AFTER 10 YEARS AND THIS IS WHY THEY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. THEY CAN NOW PROFIT FROM THEIR OWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

VEHICLE IS A CONVERTIBLE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS RUNNING. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION. MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM FOR SAME MAKE/MODE/YEAR. WHERE COLLISIONS HAVE OCCURRED WITH VEHICLES DISPLAYING THIS CONDITION, AIR BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY.

STRUCTURE:BODY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE DASHBOARD WAS DETERIORATING. THE OWNER WAS CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD FAILURE COULD AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG COMPONENTS. THE DEALER FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WAS CONTACTED, BUT HAD NOT PROVIDED A MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM - LSC ZE6 (TOYOTA DASH PROBLEM MELTING CRACKING WARRANTY EXTENSION). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A CASE MANAGER TO RESPOND WITH A RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE DEALER INFORMATION HANDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND BECOMING VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTED ONTO THE DASHBOARD, WHICH OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED, THE WATER REMAINED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED ANTIOCH TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 1817 AUTO CENTER DR, ANTIOCH, CA 94509, (925) 778-4800) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1. EVERY TIME I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY BRAKES SQUEAK VERY LOUDLY. 2. THE TRANSMISSION NEVER KNOWS WHAT GEAR TO BE IN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL CLUNK IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. 3. HAS A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC AND OIL LIKE WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS HOT. 4. DRIVE SIDE CABIN HAS A CONSTANT ANTIFREEZE SMELL WHILE RUNNING THE A/C 5. THE ENGINE HAS A HORRIBLE LOAD KNOCKING NOISE WHILE RUNNING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY OLD CAR. 6. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR OR IF IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY BUT THE 3-5 SEC DELAY IS DANGEROUS I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN GASTONIA NC AT THE 5 MILE, 10MILE AND 15MILE SERVICE AND EACH TIME THE DEALER JUST TELLS ME ITS FINE AND THAT'S NORMAL.

FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A MILDEW ODOR COMING FROM MY VENTS. I VACUUMED THE INTERIOR CARPETS WITH BAKING SODA AND SPRAYED THE VENTS WITH LYSOL. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE CAR FOR ANY LEAKAGE. NOTHING. I ALSO CHANGED MY CABIN AIR FILTER AGAIN. NO POSITIVE RESULTS. MY LAST OPTION WAS TO GOOGLE TOYOTA ODOR COMPLAINTS AND BINGO, OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS CERTAINLY IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS AND REPAIR, WITHOUT COST TO THE CAR OWNER.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR ENGINE KNOCKS AFTER WARMING UP. KNOCKS GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK. LOSS OF POWER AND NOISY DRIVING. OCCASIONALLY ENGINE SHAKES AT STARTUP. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR ALL THE TIMES AND SHE COMPLAINT ME SEVERAL TIMES IN HER WORDS THAT CAR IS NOT SMOOTH AND I KEEP IGNORING. I HAVE STARTED DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER HER COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS WRONG OR CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE RECORDED SEVERAL VIDEOS OF ENGINE KNOCKING HAVING CAR PARKED IN MY GARAGE. SECONDLY GEAR SHIFTING IS VERY ABNORMAL. SOMETIMES SHIFTS DOWN FOR NO REASON AND SOMETIMES TAKES LONGER TO SHIFT DOWN WHILE PASSING AND STAYS IN LOWER GEAR FOR LONG TIME ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS EVEN UPSHIFTED USING LEVER ON STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT RECORD ABNORMAL SHIFTING OPERATION DUE TO SAFETY REASON DURING DRIVING. I AM JUST NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BUT I NOTICED THIS WEEK AGO AFTER MY WIFE COMPLAINT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTED SUCH THAT IT IS NOW REFLECTIVE LIKE A MIRROR OR GLASS ONTO MY FRONT WINDOW. THE GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW IS UNSAFE FOR CLEAR VIEWING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY OF 2018. BUT, A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY A MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT HAVE A LIMIT TO IT'S NECESSARY REPAIR BY TOYOTA. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DANGER, BUT YOUR ONLY ACCEPTING JPGS BELOW.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
SIRIUS XM RADIO HAS A RADIO DEVICE FOR CARS THAT DO NOT HAVE A BUILT IN XM RADIO. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT COMES WITH A 20 FOOT CORD. IT IS MEANT TO BE PLACED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CORD GOES THROUGH THE CAR AND IS PLACED ON TOP OF THE CAR. MY CORD GOT STUCK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND SNAPPED THE CLOCK SPRING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS ALL MY CAPABILITIES WERE RESTRICTED. MY HORN, AIRBAG AND CONTROLS WERE NOT OPERABLE. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE CLOCK SPRING GOT SEVERED. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

MY MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE WAS ON 03/02/19 AND MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY LOW ON MOTOR OIL. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF WHERE IT IS TODAY 05/27/19.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT ON 4/9/19 THAT RESULTED IN $7,600 + PROPERTY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS INJURIES AND NO ONE ANSWERED THE SOS CONNECT SYSTEM AFTER IT WAS CALLED POST ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE BODY SHOP SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND I JUST GOT IT BACK THIS PAST THURSDAY 5/23/19. ON 5/24/19 I TRIED TO TEST THE SOS SYSTEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND STILL RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DURING ALL CALLS, PROCEEDING STRAIGHT ON CITY ROADS. I HAVE AUDIO FOOTAGE FROM MY DASH CAM TO SUPPORT IT DID NOT WORK BUT THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING WHICH IS CAUSING A TERRIBLE GLARE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD.I WAS TOLD IF IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IT WOULD BE COVERED BUT SINCE THEY DIDN'T PUT IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. ITS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE GLARE REFLECTING FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. HOW THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH SURPRISES ME.
