ENGINE
THE CARE IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. SO MUCH SO THAT THE ENGINE CAN FAIL AND SHUT DOWN DURING NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES THIS IS DANGEROUS, TO ME, MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES AND HASN'T RECALLED THE CARS TO BE FIXED. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY WRECKS OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE KNOW ISSUE AND SHOULD VOLUNTARY FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE. .

AS I AM ACCELERATING BETWEEN 20-50 MPH THE CAR SHUDDERS. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $140 JUST TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY SON HAS A 2014 AND MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2015 AND ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE 110,000 MILES ON MY CAR, MY SON 80,000 AND MY DAUGHTER 70,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE WE ALL HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID AS WE ARE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR IS STALLING WE MIGHT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. ITS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL..MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DEVELOPED A SHINY STICKY COAT OVER SEVERAL MONTHS WHICH COVERS THE ENTIRE DASH. THE SHININESS OBSTRUCTS DRIVING VISIBILITY AND I HAVE FOUND NOTHING ON THE MARKET TO CLEAN THIS AREA. THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME FROM FLORIDA AND WAS GARAGE KEPT WHEN I PURCHASED. SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY IS MELTING AND GIVING OFF FUMES THAT WE CAN SMELL AND COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A COUGHS SINCE THIS HAPPENED. THE FUMES ARE COATING THE INSIDE OF OUR WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA USA AND TOYOTA JAPAN AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN WE HAD DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN MY VEHICLE LAST SUMMER, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DATE I ENTERED WAS THE DATE I CONTACTED TOYOTA AS I FOUND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED AND WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER ASKING IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, AS I NEEDED AN EXTRA KEY MADE AND I INQUIRED WHY I WAS THERE. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS, NO RECALLS. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD GETTING STICKY THE SUMMER OF 2017, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE CLEANER I USED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SUMMER WAS EVEN HOTTER AND THE FINISH ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN PEELING, CRACKING, BECOMING SHINEY, AND VERY VERY STICKY TO TOUCH. SO I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH. I TYPED IN "HOW TO CLEAN A STICKY DASHBOARD" AND GUESS WHAT POPPED UP, TOYOTA CAMRY'S PROBLEMS WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. THEY DIDN'T RECALL IT EVEN THOUGH IT COVERED SEVERAL YEARS, INSTEAD THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED. I CHECK WITH A LOCAL DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD NO ISSUES. I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY, AND, I'M SOL AS THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AS OF 11/2017. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT REPLACED. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THE DEFECTIVE VISORS, WHICH I REPLACED AT MY COST AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FALL DOWN W/O WARNING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. LETS NOT FORGET THE OIL BURNING ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS FROM 2005-2011 IS RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS AND TOYOTA IS LEAVING THOSE OF US WHO PURCHASE USED VEHICLES OUT IN THE COLD. I'LL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN IF THIS IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY PROVIDE TO CUSTOMERS.

CAR HESITATES AND LOOSES POWER WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND WHILE EXITING AND OR STARTING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION. REAR CARS AND MYSELF ARE IN DANGER. THIS PROBLEM IS FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS FROM SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING AND LEAVING AN INTERSECTION.THIS CAMERY WAS PURCHASED IN 2015, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM SINCE FIRST REPORTED, WHICH WAS IN 2015. OVER 300 TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 5-7 YEARS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL WHERE THE EMBLEM IS LOCATED IS BUBBLING SIGNIFICANTLY. THE "CHROME" LOOKING PLASTIC ISN'T HOLDING UP TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAMRY. I WASH MY VEHICLE TWICE A MONTH, SO NOT TAKING CARE OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THE ISSUE BY ANY MEANS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NO LONGER ON MY COVERAGE FOR WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE COSMETIC ISSUES LIKE THIS AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF ITS 16 MONTH LIFE SPAN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE THAT OFTEN.

WHEN DRIVING OVER MEDIUM SIZED BUMPS IN THE DRIVEWAY, OR GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THE FRAME OF THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TWISTING AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN HERE A POPPING NOISE. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION, BUT MORE SO FROM THE TOP OF THE C-POST (REAR ROOF). I DO NOT FEEL IT IS A HUGE ISSUE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE BODY METAL IS BENDING EACH TIME. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP YET, BUT AFTER READING THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT DOESN'T SOUND TO ABNORMAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE CAMRY.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 SOUTH, JUST NORTH OF BOILVAR, OH, 70 MPH, HEARD LOUD EXPLOSION. THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE. CHECKED TO FIND IT WAS MY MOON ROOF. IT SHATTERED TO PIECES. THE HOLE WAS THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL, WITH REMAINING GLASS CRACKED TO THE POINT IT CRUMBLED TO THE TOUCH. NO OTHER CARS, TRUCKS, OR FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE NEAR ME. THE GLASS SIMPLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS NEARBY, BOTH SIDES OF ROAD WERE WOODS AND I WAS IN A RURAL AREA. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND I'M THE ONLY OWNER. I WILL CONTACT LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AS I USE MY CAR DAILY. DATE OF INCIDENT 8/26/18, TIME ABOUT 8:40 A.M. NO INJURIES, OTHER THAN MONETARY. THE INTERIOR SLIDE COVER, UNDER MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. NO POLICE REPORT FILED. I COVERED THE AREA WITH PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE WHILE ON THE ROAD. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I REMOVED THE DISTRESSED GLASS, SWEPT THE AREA, AND WILL SEE TOYOTA AND GLASS REPAIR FACILITY TOMORROW (MONDAY 8/27/18).

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ALMOST A COLLISION. I HAVE A DASH THAT IS STICKY AND THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTING OFF THE STICKY DASH IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD. ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT EVEN HAPPENS ACCIDENT NIGHT WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS REFLECT OFF THE DASH. I HAVE HAD THE CAT IN MOTION AND STABLE AND HAVE HAD NEAR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BIT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MAKER. I HOPE AND PRAY IT DOES NOT TAKE A DEATH OR SEVERAL DEATHS BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN TO GET THIS MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU. (XXXXX).

STEERING
I FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT LAST MONTH IN REFERENCE TO MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYMBOL CAME ON IN MY CAR. I DIDN'T DRIVE MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON HAVING A CRASH. SO ON AUGUST 18, 2018, I DECIDED TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AND THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL PULLS FROM THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT IF MY HANDS ARE TAKEN OFF THE WHEEL FOR A MINUTE. AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK THE WHEEL BECAME VERY LOOSELY TO THE TOUCH OF SLIGHTLY HOLDING IT. IT STEER IN THE DIRECTION OF LEFT AS I'M TRAVELING STRAIGHT UP THE ROAD.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT A FAST RATE. I HAVE TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CORRECT OIL LEVEL. IT HAS JUST OVER 100,000 MILES SO IT IS OUT OF THE 60K MIKE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS WASN'T A PROBLEM FOR MY CAR UNTIL AROUND 90K MILES. SO IT WAS ALREADY OUT OF THE WARRANTY RANGE WHEN I DISCOVERED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN BY TOYOTA AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THEIR BRAND IS BUILT ON RELIABILITY AND THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. I WAS DECEIVED BY TOYOTA.

FOUND OUT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS BUT THE DANGEROUS GLARE IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN. CALLED TOYOTA. THEY SAID THERE WAS A TIME LIMIT ON THIS DEFECT BEING FIXED.
