ON APRIL 1, 2019 I WAS TAKING MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. SHE GOT IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SHUT THE DOOR. THE SOUND I HEARD WHEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE HAD MAYBE GRAZED AN EMPTY PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE AS SHE SHUT THE DOOR. I DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES LATER WHEN WE STOPPED AT A CONVENIENCE STORE. I HEARD THAT SAME NOISE WHEN SHE GOT OUT AND SHE THE DOOR. I OPENED THE DOOR MYSELF, LISTENED CAREFULLY AND REALIZED I HAD A HOLE IN THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. NOT ONLY THAT BUT VISIBLY I COULD SEE EVERY INCH OF MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. VERY PUZZLED, I EXHASTED ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND COME UP WITH NOTHING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND COULDN'T GIVE THEM AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS HAPPENED. AFTER READING AN ARTICLE ONLINE, I REALIZE THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WHILE (THANK GOD) MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON APRIL 1, 2019, WHEN ENTERING MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY, ALONG WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO GOT IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, SHE CLOSED THE DOOR. I HEARD A SOUND I NEVER HEARD BEFORE. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EMPTY PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE WAS GRAZED AS SHE SHUT THE DOOR. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES LATER WHEN WE STOPPED AT A CONVENIENCE STORE. I HEARD THE SAME SOUND AS SHE GOT OUT AND SHUT THE DOOR. FROM THE DRIVERS' SIDE I OPENED AND SHUT THE DOOR AGAIN. LISTENING CAREFULLY, I HEARD THE SAME SOUND AND REALIZED THE SOUND FROM COMING FROM ABOVE MY HEAD. I SLID OPEN THE SUNROOF SHADE AND COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WHAT WAS MOST ASTOUNDING WAS EVERY INCH OF THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS SHATTERED. VERY PUZZLED, I EXHAUSTED ALL POSSIBILITIES OF HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED, (WHICH WEREN'T MANY) AND CAME UP WITH NOTHING. NOT KNOWING AT THE TIME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH EXPLODING SUNROOFS, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND COULDN'T GIVE THEM AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS HAPPENED. MY DEDUCTIBLE WAS $500, SO THE INSURANCE COMPANY COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE THEY ASSESSED THE DAMAGE AS COSTING ON AROUND $282. A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WAS FORCED TO TRY TO GET THE SUNROOF REPAIRED BECAUSE THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DAMAGED BECAUSE OF THE RAIN, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOMEONE TO DO THE REPAIR.THIS IS WHEN I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL ARTICLES ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS. THAT WAS THE ONLY EXPLANATION THAT MADE SENSE OF WHY MY SUNROOF WAS BROKEN AND WHY EVERY INCH OF THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. MY CAR WAS LAST DRIVEN THAT SUNDAY EVENING. NO UNKNOWN SOUNDS WERE HEARD AS THE DOORS WERE OPENED AND SHUT. THE SUNROOF HAD TO HAVE EXPLODED WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY, SOMETIME AFTER THE CAR WAS LAST DRIVEN SUNDAY EVENING AND WHEN I AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER GOT BACK IN MONDAY MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30AM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER THE COURSE OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR, TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID 2012, ALL 4 LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AT LEAST ONCE. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THIS DOOR, IS TO DO SO MANUALLY. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY OF 2016, $642, PAID TO RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE OTHER THREE DOORS THAT WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, DECEMBER 2016, AND WAS QUOTED $656 TODAY, MAY 2019, TO REPAIR THE SAME DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AGAIN. TOYOTA GOODWILL COVERED THE OTHER THREE DOORS BEYOND THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTICS. I FEEL THAT THEY ONLY COVERED THE COST IN DECEMBER OF 2016 TO PREVENT ME FROM ISSUING A COMPLAINT. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. SAFETY ISSUES COULD ARISE WHEN YOU NEED TO QUICKLY ENTER THE CAR IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND PROPERLY TO THE DRIVER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS, WITH NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE FELT VERY SLUGGISH AND EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULLY PRESSED IT WOULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. THE DRIVER PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON BUT THIS DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE DRIVER DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW BLOCKS TO A SAFER PARKING LOCATION AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO BETTER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE DRIVER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN THE ISSUE DID NOT RE-APPEAR. THIS VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THE INCIDENT BUT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TRAGIC COLLISION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELT COMES UNFASTENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. YOU CAN PULL AND PULL ON THE BELT AND IT REMAINS LOCKED, BUT WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IF ONE HITS A BUMP, THE BELT UNLATCHES AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND BUZZER SOUNDS. WENT TO JUNK YARD TO GET A DIFFERENT LATCH AND LEARNED THAT THEIR NEIGHBOR'S 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY DOES THE SAME THING. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND FIXED. FOUND SAME COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL COMPLAINT BOARDS.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WEST, INTO AN AFTERNOON SUN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A BLINDING SUN REFLECTION FROM THE BACK SECTION OF THE HOOD. THE STYLING OF THE HOOD CREATES A BLINDING SUN GLARE. THE LAST 1 625 INCHES OF THE HOOD IS AT A NEGATIVE PLANE. THE ARCH OF THE REAR SECTION OF THE HOOD, COMBINED WITH THE NEGATIVE PLANE, INTENSIFIES SUN REFLECTION TO AN UNSAFE LEVEL. THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN INTO THE DRIVERS EYES HAS A BLINDING EFFECT AND OBLITERATES THE HEADS UP DISPLAY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FOR WHATEVER REASON, TOYOTA MADE THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE VERY SLOW TO REACT TO THROTTLE INPUTS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND STOMP ON THE GAS, THERE CAN BE AS MUCH AS A 1.5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING. THIS CAN BE PRETTY DANGEROUS SUCH AS WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR MOVE SO SOMEONE DOESN'T HIT YOU. NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT HAD SUCH A DELAY UNLESS IT HAD A TURBO, BUT THE CAMRY RESPONDS EVEN SLOWER (CAMRY DOES NOT HAVE A TURBO). I;VE HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS...IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMON COMPLAINT.

SEAT BELTS
MY SEATBELT WILL NOT STAY IN THE SLOT AFTER I BUCKLE IT. IT CLICKS, THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THEN IT STARTS SLIDING OUT, AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BEEPING STARTS. I HAVE TO HOOK IT IN THE SLOT FOR THE PASSENGER SEATBELT TO GET IT TO STAY. THIS IS WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WON'T STAY WHEN NOT DRIVING. I AM HAVING TO PAY $162 TO HAVE WHAT SHOULD BE AN UNBREAKABLE PART REPLACED AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT. I OWN TWO OLDER CARS, A 97 LINCOLN AND A 90 MIATA AND THOSE SEATBELTS WORK FINE.
