ENGINE
I WAS NOT TOLD BY EITHER TOYOTA OR TOYOTA OF TAMPA BAY THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK PROBLEM. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF A BURNING SMELL, I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK AFTER DRIVING FOR A 1,000 MILES. I DIDN'T - MY ERROR, BUT I WASN'T TOLD THERE WAS A WARRENTY OR ANY KIND OF MAJOR ISSUE. WHEN I DID GO BACK, THEY RAN THE TEST AGAIN, TELLING ME I'D GET A NEW ENGINE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM. WHEN I DID COME BACK, THE STORY CHANGED TO A REBUILD ENGINE. THEN, WHEN THE SERVICE REP CAME TO TELL ME THE ISSUE, HE SAID MY CAR HAD THE ISSUE, BUT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY CAR, A 2009, HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE
THIS TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF CONSUMING MORE OIL. TOYOTA NEVER CONVEYED OR SENT ANY LETTER TO ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CARE AFTER LOOKING AT INTERNET POSTS, TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS AND BEYOND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NEVER CONVEYED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER INSTEAD OF MY REGULAR MECHANIC SHOP. TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE YOU DID NOT BRING YOUR CALL TO DEALER YOU DID NOT COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MY STAND IS THAT I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO GO TO DEALER FOR REGULAR REPAIR, ANY KNOWN MAJOR ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVEYED TO ME VIA PROPER COMMUNICATIONS LIKE OTHER RECALLS. MY CAR IS JUST 10 YEARS 6 MONTHS OLD AND TOYOTA IS NOT ACCEPTING THE WARRANTY OF KNOWN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT SEND ANY LETTER TO ME REGARDING THIS WARRANTY/ISSUE THEY IDENTIFIED IN PARTICULAR ENGINES INCLUDING MY 2009 CAMRY.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION: 1: CAR HESITATES TO SPEED UP FROM A FULL STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION. 2: RPM'S GO OVER 3000 BEFORE CAR REACTS (2-3 SECONDS DELAY) , DANGEROUS SPECIALLY WHEN TAKING CURVES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC (HIGHWAYS, FAST TRAFFIC ROADS). 3: I FEEL A "HICCUP" LIKE MOVEMENT WHILE IN MOTION (SOMETIMES). 4: CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS WHIT EXCESSIVE POWER. 5: DOWNSHIFTS AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION (IT HAPPENS ERRATICALLY) 6: I HEARD A SOFT METAL-TO-METAL "KNOCK" SOUND WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL WHILE IN MOTION. UNTIL NOW THIS ARE THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2018 CAMRY 4-CYL, CERTAINLY SOMETHING I WASN'T EXPECTING FROM A TOYOTA PRODUCT. THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR OF THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO RESPONSE AS IT SHOULD DO OR WHEN I'LL HAVE TO FLOOR IT SO IT CAN REV UP AND FINALLY MOVE.

ENGINE
ON DEC. 27, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY I HEARD A SEVERE/LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. I COULD STILL DRIVE HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED DOWN AND BEGAN SHAKING. I HURRIED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. I DECIDED TO TO GO TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THE STREET WAY AS I WAS IN THAT AREA. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED AND THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, NOTHING FURTHER.THE ESTIMATED COST WOULD BE $10,435. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME.THEY LATER INDICATED VIA EMAIL THAT MY CASE WOULD BE FILED WITH TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A. INC. UNDER FILE#[XXX]. WHY DOES A 2008 CAMRY CE WITH 60,896 MILES BREAKDOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE MATTER. I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2014, ONE OF MANY, INDICATING 2006-2011 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES (INCLUDING CAMRY) HAD DEFECTIVE ENGINES THAT BURN EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL WHICH CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE IN A MOVING VEHICLE. FURTHER, TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE DESIGN DEFECT, BUT STILL MANUFACTURED AND SOLD THEIR VEHICLES WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMERS. THEY ALSO FAILED TO WARN DRIVERS THAT THIS DEFECT WOULD CREATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THIS INFORMATION TO NO AVAIL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH FRONT HEADLAMP LENSES HAVE FILM BUILDUP INSIDE THE PROJECTOR HOUSING CAUSING HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM TO BE DULL AND NOT ENOUGH OUTPUT LUMENS. UNABLE TO CLEAN. REQUIRING REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS. DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE $1318.68. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY FINANCIAL HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PROBABLY A DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SAME ISSUES WITH CAMRY,
