POWER TRAIN
THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES IS HORRIBLE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT SPEEDS UP AND WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO GO MY RMP HITS ABOUT 4 BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. I SWARE OTHER CARS THINK I WANT TO RACE. I DID ADVICE THE SALES MEN WHEN HE ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CAR AND HE SAID BECAUSE OF A NEW MODLE OF TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE CAR SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT IS FINE ON THE HIGH WAY. I AM JUST DIAPPOINTED IN MY PURCHACE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT OF ALL 5 TOYOTAS IVE HAD THAT I WISH I WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I WAS FINE IN MY 2012 WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STOP FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I WAS FORCED TO SLAM MY BRAKES FOR THE CAR TO STOP. LUCKILY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT GOING ABOUT 5 MPH. OTHERWISE, I COULD HAVE DIED OR KILLED SOMEONE. THERE WAS NO NOTICE BEFOREHAND OF THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY CLAIM THEIR WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY THAT WERE ISSUED, BUT THE SUPP WARRANTY EXPIRED APRIL OF THIS YEAR (2018) AND AT 150,000 MILES. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 155K MILES. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM BY TOYOTA. THEY HAVE MY INFORMATION ON FILE. I WOULD HAVE EITHER SOLD/TRADED IN MY VEHICLE LAST YEAR HAD I KNOWN THESE CARS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, NHTSA HAS INVESTIGATED THE BRAKE ACTUATER PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED CRASHES AND INJURIES. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL LIKE THEY WERE FORCED TO DO IN 2009/2010 WHEN THEY'RE ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE STICKING AND PEOPLE WERE DYING. NOW TOYOTA IS GOING TO CHARGE ME OVER $1,700 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE SINCE THE CAR IS NOT IN WORKING CONDITION. I HAVE A CASE ID WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE 1811131473. THE LADY JUST LIED TO ME ABOUT TOYOTA BEING UNABLE TO COVER THE PROBLEM. SHE MADE IT SOUND LIKE THERE WAS A CONTRACT IN PLACE AND FIXING MY CAR WOULD BE BREAKING THE TERMS. I ASKED HER WHO NEGOTIATED THE TERMS, AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER. I ASKED HER IF NHTSA OR A CLASS ACTION FORCED TOYOTA TO ACCEPT THE TERMS AND SHE SAID NO. CLEARLY, TOYOTA HAS TRAINED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS TO LIE TO CUSTOMERS LIKE ME GETTING THEM TO THINK THERE ARE ABSOLUTE "TERMS" THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO ESCAPE LIABILITY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND SHORTING IT OUT. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE DRAIN FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED AND CONDENSED WATER WAS NOT DRAINING OUT ONTO THE GROUND AS DESIGNED. INSTEAD, IT BUILT UP AND THEN LEAKED ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF TOYOTA CAMRYS.

WAS TOLD THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING, WHICH IT WAS , HAD IT REPAIRED. I HAD IT REPLACED RECENTLY AGAIN AS THE FIRST REPAIR SHOP DID IT INCORRECTLY. CAR IS STILL USING ABOUT A HALF A QUART OF OIL EVERY 700 MILES. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT ALL OVER FOR LEAKS (RESULTED IN GASKET REPLACEMENT), NO OTHER LEAKS DETECTED. THE CAR NOW HAS OVER 175,000 MILES AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER IT AS IT IS OVER THE 150K LIMIT. IT RUNS NORMALLY, NO LOSS OF POWER, DOES NOT KNOCK OR PING. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL GET WORSE OVER TIME . I ALWAYS THOUGHT I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE WAY OF RELIABILITY AS A TOYOTA OWNER. I HAVE MY DOUBTS AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINT SITES AND SEE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL YEAR, OF EXCESSIVE OIL USE. TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE , I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE .

AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR WHEN PASSENGER IS PRESENT, CALLED TOYOTA, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT HAD EXPIRED, AND DID NOT OFF TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THERE WAS NO RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CAMRY'S AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, WHY NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE CAR. THIS CAR HAS A DASHBOARD PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ITS DASHBOARD IS BECOMING STICKY, SMELLY AND SHINY AS A MIRROR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR YEARS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I CALL A TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO TO ASK WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING SEVERE SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD OFTEN BLINDS MY EYES AND I ALMOST HIT A WALKER. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND TONS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND SOME LUCKY COSTUMERS GOT FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, I CALLED THE SAME DEALER AGAIN ASKING ABOUT THE POLICY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT IT EXPIRED TWO YEARS AGO, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS ANSWER IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I CALLED THEM BEFORE. I THEN CALL THE HEADQUARTER. THE OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, BUT AN EXTENDED 10-YEAR WARRANTEE. SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN MORE THAN TEN YEARS, TOYOTA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DASHBOARD UNLESS I HAVE WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED TOYOTA BEFORE ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. MY COMPLAINS ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1)THIS DASHBOARD PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. AS MENTIONED, THE SPECULAR REFLECTION FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAN BLIND THE DRIVERS AND MAKE THE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. TOYOTA MUST HAVE KNOWN THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO AND SHOULD NOTICE ALL COSTUMERS TO CHANGE THE DASHBOARD FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF FINDING EXCUSES TO REJECT MOST UNLUCKY CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' LIVES. (2)TOYOTA SHOULDN'T PUT THE BURDEN OF PROVIDING EVIDENCE ONLY ON COSTUMERS. THE REQUEST OF WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED THE DEALER BEFORE IS RIDICULOUS. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE ME A RIGHT SUGGESTION/SOLUTION BECOMES MY FAULT.

POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR HAS A VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO GO IN AND A VIBRATION OCCURS AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD A BIT. IN THESE CASES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HAS NEARLY HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES NOW. IN ADDITION TO THIS SHAKING THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS NEARLY STALLED ON ME AS WELL WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A ROUND-ABOUT IN WHICH I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE RIGHT AFTER. THIS RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS CAR AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR GETTING REAR-ENDED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I CAN TELL IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "NEUTRAL" AND COME TO A STOP, THE ISSUE NEVER HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 1500 MILES ON IT. THEY SPENT A DAY ON IT AND TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ONCE OR TWICE AFTER A LONG TEST-DRIVE. THEY'VE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NEW 2018 CAMRY'S THOUGH AS WELL, SO IT'S POSSIBLE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS. AFTER READING ONLINE, I CAN SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE RUNNING INTO THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S WERE INSTALLED WITH A SUN VISOR THAT WAS LATER RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE INNER PLASTIC BODY. ... MAKING THE ARM UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVELY, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. I WENT TO TOYOTA WHO SAID THAT THE RECALL IS EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE. I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING AND IT PUTS A GLARE IN FRONT WINDSHIELD DAY AND NIGHT WHICH MAKE IT HARD TO SEE. I BOUGHT CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT WAS DOING THIS WHEN I GOT IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY DETAILED, AND COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A PERMANENT ISSUE.
