ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2009 CAMRY WITH 84K MILES BURNED THROUGH SO MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVER 3 QTS LOW, RESTORED OIL LEVEL DID NOT ELIMINATE NOISES ASSESSED TO BE ROD SLAP DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. I NOW EXPECT THE ENGINE TO DIE AT ANY TIME WITH THROWN ROD.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION WAS EXPERIENCING TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER. DEALER REPLACED ORIGINAL TORQUE CONVERTER AT ~106,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. AFTER REPLACEMENT THE TRANSMISSION DEVELOPED A VIBRATION BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. TOOK CAR BACK TO SERVICING DEALER (HOSELTON TOYOTA IN EAST ROCHESTER, NY) AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. DEALER HAS MADE THE CLAIM THAT THE FAILURE IS NOT RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT OR TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER. THEY ARE CLAIMING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION COOLER IS TO BLAME FOR THE FAILURE. TIME ELAPSED BETWEEN ORIGINAL WARRANTY REPAIR AND DIAGNOSIS OF OUT-OF-WARRANTY TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. AT TIME OR ORIGINAL REPAIR THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE ANY OTHER FAULTY COMPONENTS AND DID NOT MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF ANY TRANSMISSION OR RELATED COMPONENTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL IS "STUTTERING" AT QUICK STOPS. WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS YELLOW AND I PRESS DOWN BRAKE FIRMLY, THE BRAKE WORKS, THEN RELEASES BY ITSELF. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PRESS IT AGAIN TO ACTUALLY STOP VEHICLE. THIS "STUTTER" CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD A FEW FEET. IT'S A BIT SCARY TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER BRAKING APPROPRIATELY. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON BRAKES!!!! DANGEROUS!!! HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR LAST 3 MONTHS!!!

I JUST LEARNED THAT MY TOYOTA WAS COVERED UNDER A RESTRICTED RECALL UNTIL 10/31/17. MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES WITH VIBRATION AT 35-45MPH. I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL CARS WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY VECHICLE YESTERDAY THAT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP SINCE SATURDAY SAYING THAT THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY MY BREAKS LOCKED UP ON I-95 AND I COULDN'T STOP. I GOT THE VECHICLE BACK YESTERDAY AND I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY BREAKS FAILED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD NOT STOP. ABSOLUTELY NO BREAKS!! THE VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE ABS BREAK ACULATOR / MODULE IN THE VECHICLE IS BAD. THE COMPANY WHOM I BOUGHT IT FROM I BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ACCIDENT CONSIDERING THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STATED THEY FIXED THE VECHICLE

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF SLOPED DRIVEWAY ON COLD MORNING. ALSO, LIGHT SHEET OF RUST ON EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR SURFACE OF ALL DISCS. SQUEAL GOES AWAY AFTER A SHORT WHILE (ABS WARM-UP ISSUE?), AND THE EXTERIOR RUST WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS OF USE. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD SUCH ON A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE (HAVE DRIVEN MULTIPLE NEW CARS OVER 40 YEARS).

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR CONTROL PANEL POPPED-OUT EASILY, WHEN WINDOW CONTROL UP WAS ACTIVATED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO I WASN'T DRIVING AND STARTLED/DISTRACTED BY IT (I.E., POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE). APPEARS TO BE A RETAINER CLIP ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO COULDN'T FIX IT, SO I SHIMMED THE CLIP, AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE, SINCE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO EXTRACT, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE! NO SUCH ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL PANEL. UPLOADED IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MOV VIDEO, SHOULD YOU WISH TO REVIEW IT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA E-MAIL (I'D HAVE TO UPLOAD IT TO MY WEBSITE, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE FILE).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
4 WAY EMERGENCY FLASHERS TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED FIRST DAY WE OWNED CAR BEFORE WE GOT HOME FROM DEALER, THEN AGAIN 17000 MILES LATER. FLASHER BUTTON DOES NOT AFFECT THE FLASHING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FLASHING STOPS WHEN ENGINE RESTARTED, THEN STARTS UP AGAIN RANDOMLY AFTERWARD. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. FIRST TIME CLOUDY WEATHER, SECOND TIME CLOUDY AND WET WEATHER. FIRST TIME DEALER 'LUBED' THE FLASHER SWITCH. SECOND TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A FAULT OR REASON FOR THE INCIDENT.

AIR BAGS
I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE VEHICLE ON MY LEFT STOPPED. A FORD PICKUP CAME BARRELING OUT OF NOWHERE, SWERVING AROUND THE OTHER VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE DRIVER WAS GOING FASTER THAN HE CLAIMED ON THE POLICE REPORT (INCLUDED). WE COLLIDED IN THE INTERSECTION FRONT-LEFT-TO-FRONT-RIGHT. MY CAR WAS SPUN AROUND ABOUT `50 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT, ENDING UP ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. THE OLTHER DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HE RECEIVED A CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD. MY TAKATA FRONT AND SIDECURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I WAS THROWN INTO THE DRIVER'S DOOR, BREAKING FOUR RIBS, A VERTEBRA, SHOULDER BLADE AND MY COLLARBONE. IN THE REBOUND TO THE RIGHT, MY RIGHT WRIST AND RIGHT ARM JUST ABOVE THE WRIST WERE BROKEN. THE FRACTURES WERE SET UNDER ANESTHESIA, AND I SPENT 8 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND ABOUT 7 WEEKS IN A CONVALESCENT/REHAB FACILITY. I AM NOW UNDERGOING WEEKLY OT FOR WEAKNESS, LACK OF MOBILITY, AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT HAND AND WRIST, AND POOR MOBILITY AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF WHILE DRIVING INTO THE SUN. THERE ARE LIGHT COLORED SPECKLES THROUGHOUT THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH WHENEVER WE ARE DRIVING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN. IT'S CALLED "WINDSHIELD DELAMINATION" BUT THEY FEEL THAT THIS COMES FROM ROCKS AND SAND HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. WE NOTICED IT THE VERY FIRST DAY WE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE FIRST TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE, THE SERVICE WRITER SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND WOULDN'T EVEN WRITE IT ON THE INVOICE. WE FEEL THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD INSTEAD OF MAKING EXCUSES THAT ALL WINDSHIELDS HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AFTER A LITTLE WHILE. THIS WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE CLEARLY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHENEVER WE MUST DRIVE INTO THE SUN.
