WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY ON MAY 15, 2018, MY DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AS WELL AS A WARNING LIGHT, A LIGHT DEPICTING TWO VEHICLES COLLIDING AND THE MESSAGE "VISIT YOUR DEALER". I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON 2015 MODEL TOYOTAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER, HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR 2018 TOYOTAS OR HAS A RECALL BEEN RELEASED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD, PURCHASING IT IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE RECALL FOR THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND NOW THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM HAS APPARENTLY MALFUNCTIONED. MY TOYOTA DEALER REFUSES TO ISSUE ME A LOANER VEHICLE SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED I ALLOW AN HOUR AND A HALF TO CONDUCT. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY SO I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS A USED CAR COULD CREATE HOWEVER I AM CURRENTLY REGRETTING THE DECISION OF PURCHASING A TOYOTA AS IT WILL NOW HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR ISSUES BEYOND MY DOING OR CONTROL BUT CONTINUES TO CREATE AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME FINANCIALLY AS IT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS.

SUSPENSION
PASSENGER FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT MISSING TWO RETAINING NUTS WHEN DELIVERED BY SELLING DEALERSHIP (BEV SMITH TOYOTA, FT PIERCE ,FL). AS NOTED ON INSPECTION BY TARBOX TOYOTA, NORTH KINGSTOWN,RI AFTER CAR DRIVEN FROM FL TO RI. PHONE CALL TO DELIVERING DEALER IN FL. SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT DEALER DID NOT PERFORM A PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION AS IT WAS DONE BY THE DISTRIBUTOR, SOUTHEAST TOYOTA.. SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED. NOTHING HEARD TO DATE. BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL OR WORSE IF A POTHOLE WAS STRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME(ABS,PRECOLLISION WARNING, ENGINE LIGHT,ETC.) MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE TOYOTA SERVICE REP ADVISES ME THAT THE ENGINE WIRES HAVE BEEN CHEWED BY RODENTS. HE ALSO ADVISES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A TOYOTA PROBLEM SO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HE ADVISED MY AUTO INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE PROBLEM IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. THEY HAVE STARTED USING PLANT-BASED MATERIAL TO COVER THE WIRING WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL OF CAR. ALSO, THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HARDLY KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD AFTER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T HAVE ANY PAPERWORK YET, BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE PUSH START BUTTON TO START THE CAR WHEN IT IS PARKED, IT USUALLY TAKES 5-6 TRIES BEFORE IT TURNS ON IN THE MORNING WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK. THE LIGHT WILL STAY RED AND WON'T TURN GREEN. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS CHECK VCS SYSTEMS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR FOR LONGER PERIODS. IT IS NOT INFREQUENT. IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INCONVENIENT.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEARS AND MADE AN ABNORMAL VIBRATING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MELTING, STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING A POOR VISIBILITY. THE UNSAFE AND FAULTY DASHBOARD IS PREVENTING A GOOD VISIBILITY DAY OR NIGHT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 10 YEARS ONLY. I ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA AND ALSO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IN SERVICE UNTIL I FIND A SOLUTION. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FAULTY REPAIR.

THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS HAVING A PROBLEM SHIFTING AND ALLOWING THE CAR TO INCREASE SPEED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY JERKS WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE SITTING IT STILL JERKS. IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS MISSING A SHIFT OR SOMETHING.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO MOVE AND APPEARS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, YET CAR CONTINUES GOING. BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO MOVE AND RADIO, A.C. GOES OFF WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON MOTION AND MAINLY WHILE TURNING, IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIMES ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, BUT NEVER AGAIN, THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN THIS LAST 2 WEEKS. HOWEVER, YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN 1 HOUR, VERY SCARY. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT YO THE DEALER LAS WEEK AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL YET, ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND HUNDREDS OF CARS CAMRY REPORTED WITH SAME PROBLEM. IS SCARY.

STEERING
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: AT TIMES CAR WOULD PULL VERY HARD TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE PULL WAS SO STRONG THAT IT WOULD PULL YOU OFF OF THE ROAD IF YOU WEREN'T GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY. THE PROBLEM WOULD PERSIST UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED REACHED APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED 'TORQUE SENSOR FOR STEERING OUT OF WHACK NEEDS BOTH GEAR, COLUMN, AND ECM COMPUTER.' THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BUT I AM TOLD MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HOOD OPEN WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD AND CHIME ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAY. I STOP TO CHECK HOOD AND IT IS SECURE. LIGHT AND ALARM WILL CLEAR AND THEN A FEW MILES LATER IT WILL GO ON AGAIN. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND CAR ALARM IS ACTIVATED, THE CAR ALARM WILL START SOUNDING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH NOBODY NEAR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THESE TWO CONDITIONS ALSO, AND BELIEVE THESE TWO CONDITIONS ARE RELATED. IT IS AN ANNOYANCE TO MY NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS MYSELF, AND IF DRIVING ON THE ROAD THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF PULLING OVER TO CHECK THE HOOD LATCH TO SILENCE ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING CAR AND I WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION ON A FOGGY MORNING ABOUT 6:15 AM. WENT TO TURN RIGHT AT INTERSECTION AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A DENSE AMOUNT OF FOG FLOW ACROSS THE FRONT OF MY CAR. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, SAW SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. AN ALARM WENT OF AND MY DASH DISPLAYED THE WARNING HYBRID SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THEN FIRE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND UP ALONG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WAS JUST PASSING A GAS STATION AT THE TIME SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWN PASS THE GAS STATION AND THEN PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXISTED THE CAR. THE NEAREST FIRE COMPANY WAS OUT ON A CALL, SO THE CAR CONTINUED TO BURN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AS A RESULT THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR WAS COMPLETING BURNT. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS FIRE. IN FACT, I DROVE IT 176 MILES THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FIRE. LEARNED AFTER I EXISTED THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ON FIRE, THAT A DRIVER COMING UP THE ROAD BEHIND ME AFTER I TURNED AT THE INTERSECTION, NOTICED SPARKS AND/OR FLAMES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR. SHE WAS FLASHING HER HEADLIGHTS AT ME, BUT I DID NOT NOTICE HER.

SERVICE BRAKES
ANTI LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 104,000 MILES. A WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON THE DASH AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISES THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY HAVE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 10 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS AGO SO IT'S NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH OUR MILEAGE IS 2/3 OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL SINCE IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES.
