POWER TRAIN
MY 2011 CAMRY HAS 55K MILES AND HAVING HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. SPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO STOP THERE A LAG IN RPM AND TRANSMISSION MOVES THEREFORE, CAR FEELS LIKE A PUNCH IN TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN EMERGENCY STOPS BECAUSE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LET YOU FEEL CHANGING GEARS. I HOPE NHTSA WILL RAISE OUR VOICE TO TOYOTA. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CAMRY HYBRID FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE, WE ASSUME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A HYBRID THAT THAT WAS NORMAL. FOR 4 YEARS WE HAVE BROUGHT OUR CAMRY TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR SERVICE NEEDS. NEVER IN THE TIME HAD THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BUZZING SOUND. RECENTLY THE ABS AND VSC LIGHTS CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US BUT THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $2,100 I DECIDED TO SEE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT MYSELF AND AFTER GOOGLING THE PART I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE NOISE WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FOR 4 YEARS IS COMING FROM THE SAME PART THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I LIVE IN MA , APON A EARLY NOVEMBER SLEET MY CAR DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. DISABLING MY ANTI CRASH SYSTEM WITH LIGHTS GOING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE I ALMOST CRASHED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SIX MONTH SERVICE AT 3850 MILES ON CAR SET FOR DAY AFTER VACATION. I TOOK CAR IN TO TOYOTA. EXPLAINED PROBLEMS AND TOLD THEM TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH. THEY CAME BACK TO ME TELLING ME THERE IS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION.. I LEFT CAR AT HYANNIS TOYOTA EXPECTING TO RECEIVE CAR BACK THAT DAY. SERVICE REP CALLED ME AT 530 TELLING ME THAT SINCE THE DAY I DROVE OFF THE LOT THERE ARE 9 PAGES OF DEFAULTS. CLAIMING DRIVER ERRORS. FIRST IT'S A RECALL, BUT LATER IN DAY DRIVER ERROR. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS MY 5TH LEASE WITH THEM. I DO KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND ON CAPE COD IN SUMMER I SIT IN TRAFFIC MOST OF THE TIME . THE SITUATION WITH SLEET WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH ON LOCAL STREETS. THAT WAS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP THAT SENSORS ARE SENSITIVE AND DIRT,HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW CAN CAUSE ANTI CRASH SYSTEMS TO DEACTIVATE. AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN ENGINE OFF AND APON RESTART THE SYSTEM WILL REACTIVATE ITSELF.BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION SELF ACCLAIMED RECALL AND NOW CALLED DRIVER ERROR. WHEN YOU NEED ANTI CRASH SYSTEM,THE ODDS OF IT NOT WORKING ARE PRETTY GOOD AS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP. I JUST WANT MY CAN REPAIRED AND SAFE.THE DATE IS APPROX

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I GREW UP ON A FARM AND HAVE WORKED ON MANY MACHINES OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE OWNED CARS, TRUCKS, MOTORCYCLES AND A BOAT. I UNDERSTAND HOW VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED TO WORK. MY CAR IS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, 2.5L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE SAFETY ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR BEGAN SOMEWHERE AROUND 20,000 MILES AND ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TO TRAFFIC, AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LOSE OF POWER. THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND DOWNWARD TREND IN RPMS. THE NEXT TIME I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE I REPORTED THIS. THE SERVICE TECH REPORTED THERE WERE NO CODES AND THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE RECREATED. NOW THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES AT USUALLY AT BETWEEN 2000-3000 RPMS. IT HAS HAPPENED TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AND JUST HAVING THE CAR A HEAD MOVE FORWARD AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE FORWARD AS WELL TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN VERY INTERMITTENT, OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION AND USUALLY BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, AND SOMETIMES NOT OCCURRING FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORP AT THE ADVICE OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEAL SHIP. I HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BY THE CASE MANAGERS AT TOYOTA, SHUFFLED OFF TO NEW CASE MANAGERS AND ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED UNTIL IT COULD BE RECREATED. I SHOULD STOP EVERYTHING AND RETURN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH INSTANCE. FINALLY, THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR A WEEK AND THE ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE TECHNICIAN WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE CASE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAD TO BE RECREATED AGAIN.TOYOTA WOULD RATHER HAVE A DRIVER ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THEN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. NOW THE CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY, MOSTLY UNUSED. THE DEALER WILL NOT GIVE DECENT TRADE VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
MY CAR IS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4-CYLINDER AUTOMATIC WITH 67K MILES. IT IS ON IT'S SECOND SET OF TIRES WHICH HAVE ABOUT 25K MILES ON THEM, AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED ONE OR TWO TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW. KEY POINT: THERE HAS BEEN NO WORK (INCL. NO TIRE ROTATIONS) DONE TO THE CAR RECENTLY... EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED A STRONG PULLING OF THE CAR TO THE LEFT. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE CAR I NOTICED A STRONG PULL TO THE RIGHT, WHICH SEEMED VERY STRANGE SINCE IT WAS NOT THE LEFT AS BEFORE. THIS PULLING TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK NOW. THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION I HAVE LEARNED THAT TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM - IF THE FRONT WHEELS ARE POINTED STRAIGHT FORWARD. I BELIEVE HAVING THE FRONT WHEELS POINTING STRAIGHT FORWARD WHEN I SHUT OFF / RESTART SEEMS TO CORRECT THE PULLING PROBLEM. BUT IF THE WHEELS ARE POINTED LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I RESTART THE CAR, THE CAR PULLS THAT DIRECTION WHEN RESTARTED. I'M NO AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC, BUT BASED ON WHAT I THINK I'VE LEARNED, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ONE. SEEING OTHERS INCIDENTS BEING ENTERED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2015 AND 2016 CAMRYS, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP.

SEATS
I NOTICED A 3 INCH BURN MARK ON MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD BEEN VANDALIZED. HOWEVER, TODAY WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR I NOTICED ANOTHER BURN AREA NEXT TO THE OTHER ONE AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING IN THE CAR. I CONCERNED THAT IT IS THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT WHICH IS SHORTING OUT AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS WAS OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY, WARNING BELL SOUNDS AND THREE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CONSTANTLY: BRAKE, ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CENTER ERROR MESSAGE PANEL OF THE DASHBOARD CYCLES THROUGH THE THREE MESSAGES, AS SHOWN IN THE ACCOMPANYING PHOTOS. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, EVERY FEW MILES THERE IS AN APPARENT LOSS OF POWER, SLOWING THE VEHICLE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER DOES NOT RESTORE POWER. FULLY RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOES RESTORE POWER. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM OCTOBER 29, 2018, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY (NOW EVERY THREE DAYS ON AVERAGE) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I WILL BE HAVING A DEALER INVESTIGATE. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM DESCRIBED FOR THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ON OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINT FORUMS.
