ENGINE
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SPRING OF 2015 AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF HAVING THE CAR WHEN I WOULD BRING IN THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGES THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE OIL WASN'T EVEN REGISTERING ON THE OIL STICK AND IT HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 2 QUARTS EVERY 1000 TO 1500 MILES. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TODAY WHO CHECKED OUT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO OIL LEAKS AND HE DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS OF OIL OUTSIDE THE ENGINE AND ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO PUT NEW MOTOR IN OR TEAR THE CURRENT MOTOR APART AND REPLACE ANYTHING WORN WHICH STILL MAY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SO FOR NOW I'M GOING TO GET OIL TOPPED OFF EVERY 1000 MILES WHICH IS A MAJOR PAIN HAVING TO WATCH AND REMEMBER WHEN THE LAST TIME I WAS IN FOR A TOP OFF SO I DON'T RUN MY ENGINE DRY.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASH, "CHECK VSC SYSTEM", ADDITIONALLY ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT THE END OF MARCH 2018. I HAVE AN OBD2 READER AND THE FAULT CODE WAS "C1391". I WAS ABLE TO ERASE THE CODE AND DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL BUT MESSAGE AND LIGHTS RETURN 2-3 DAYS LATER. IN MID-JUNE 2018 I TOOK THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR IT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($109) TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM REGARDING THE CODE. I KNEW THAT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. THEY GAVE ME A A QUOTE OF $1895 FOR PART AND TAX AND AN ADDITIONAL $340 PLUS TAX FOR LABOR. I PICKED UP MY CAR, DID NOT HAVE THE $2400 TO GET THE WORK DONE (PARTS ALSO WOULD TAKE 2 DAYS TO GET). THEY DID WARN ME AGAINST DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO POINTED OUT THE ODD MOTORIZED NOISE THE ACTUATOR WAS MAKING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. HE SAID IT SHOULDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHEN IT WAS OFF. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON FORUMS, I FOUND THERE WAS A TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM ZE1 SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SEE ATTACHED). IT WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2014 TO OFFER FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAMMING AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, IT HAD DATED CONDITIONS AND WAS ONLY APPLICABLE IF THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CAME UP ON DASH. ALTHOUGH THE SOUND HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE USED CAR IN JAN 2010, I DID NOT RECEIVE LIGHTS OR MESSAGE UNTIL MARCH 2018 BUT THE GRACE PERIOD RAN OUT ON JULY 2017. TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR THE EXTENSION OF THE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS IF THEY WON'T PROACTIVELY RESOLVE IT PRIOR TO THE INDICATED SIGNS. TOYOTA IS WARNING ME TO FIX THIS AT MY COST OR RISK BRAKE FAILURE AT ANY TIME.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL HOWEVER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE BURNING OF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OIL BURNING IN MY CAR AND HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO COMPLAINT THAT MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON WITH A FEW WEEKS OF GETTING A OIL CHANGE. I PAID NUMEROUS OF TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL OIL FOR MY CAR AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS OLDER AND THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL BURN LOTS OF OIL. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS FOR PREVIOUS RECALLS HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE ENGINE OIL BURNING RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY A RENTAL CAR REPRESENTATIVE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I CALLED PRIORITY CHEVROLET GREENBRIER TO GET THE TEST DONE SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THAT PRIORITY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF GETTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO GO TO PRIORITY TOYOTA TO HAVE IT DONE SINCE MY CAR IS A TOYOTA. NEVER ONCE HAVE A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISE ME OF THE BURNING OF OIL WITH 07 CAMRY. NOW THAT I HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, THE SERVICE REP SAYS THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY $2,200 FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE, I AM ENTITLE TO THIS REPAIR KNOWING THAT TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME AND THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOT ONE SERVICE PERSON HAS THE DECENCY TO INFORM ME OF THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL AND DRAS II FAILURE FOR AS YET TO BE DETERMINED ADDITIONAL VINS MY FRIEND AND I WERE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEATS, BUCKLED UP, SITTING IN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON THE 5 FREEWAY HEADED NORTH. WE WERE REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AT A SLIGHT ANGLE TO OUR BUMPTER, BY A DRIVER WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL DECIMATION OF THEIR VEHICLE AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE WHICH MANIFESTED ITSELF AS REAR BUMPER AND REAR UNDER BODY DAMAGE, AS WELL AS CRUMPLING OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND QUARTERPANELS, TO OUR 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I WERE THROWN FORWARD, AND DESPITE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS I HIT MY HEAD AND KNEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA DURING THE IMPACT. NO AIRBAGS INFLATED IN THE VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE DRIVER CONSOLE DISPLAYED RED ERROR LIGHTS INDICATING THAT AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED DESPITE NONE HAVING DONE SO. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I SUSTAINED SERIOUS AND ONGOING INJURIES AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 27000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THERE ARE CONFIRMED REPORTS FROM TOYOTA DEMONSTRATING THAT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE PRONE TO FAILING AT THE CHIP EDGE DUE TO LARGE INTERNAL TENSILE STRESS INCONJUNCTION WITH DEFECTS IN THE SENSOR CAUSING IT TO DELAMINATE.

MY VISOR BROKE AND WILL NO LONGER STAY IN PLACE, THIS IS OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WHEN LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE I FOUND A OLD RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PART. "2007-2011 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, INCREASING THE RISK OF IT OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER." THIS SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN, AND IF THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL, I WOULD TO HAVE THIS FIXED.

MY CAR CONSUMES OIL (WILL RUN EMPTY) AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN PACK IN 2016. WHILE THEY COULD PRODUCE DATES AND THE ALLEGED ADDRESS THEY SENT THE CAMPAIGN INFORMATION TOO, I NEVER RECEIVED IT. BOTH NOTICES DID NOT ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE. READING THE COMPLAINTS, I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHOM HAS THIS ISSUE. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AGO, TOYOTA UPDATED ITS ENTUNE NAVIGATION SOFTWARE WITH A FLAWED SYSTEM UPDATE THAT ELIMINATED THE VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM FOR PHONES, NAVIGATION, ETC.
