RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT AS I AM APPLYING THE BRAKE OR TAKING A CURVE MY OIL LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THERE IS AN ISSUE OF OIL CONSUMPTION THAT IS KNOWN. MY CAR AVERAGES USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 800-1200 MILES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE CAMRY IS EXPERIENCING HESITATION AND SEEMS TO WAIT 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED. I EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 30-40MPH WHEN PREPARING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. FELT VERY DANGEROUS.

JUST GOT THE CAR WITH 30000 MILES ON IT. LIKE A WEEK AGO STARTED NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEARS TOO FAST. I'M GOING 30MPH AND IT'S IN 4TH GEAR! IT WASN'T DOING THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE UP ON HIGHWAY IT TOOK 2 SECONDS FOR THE RPM TO KICK IN ALMOST GOT RAN OFF THE ROAD BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. FROM A STOPLIGHT IT WILL HESITATE FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS THEN TAKE OFF. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE A QUICK TURN DURING TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE FIX IT SO I CAN ENJOY MY NEW CAR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE 4 THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF THESE VEHICLES. MAKE THEM TEST IT UNDER 32 DEGREES AND THE RPMS WILL ALMOST ALWAYS INCREASE AND DECREASE ABRUPTLY THOUGH GIVING GAS AT A STEADY PACE. IT'S HAPPENED EVERY YEAR EVERY WINTER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. THE PEDAL FIX/RECALL WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THOSE OF US WHO SUSPECT IT IS AN ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT MUST BE TESTED IN COLD COLD WEATHER AND UPON THE CAR JUST STARTING TO RUN. IT DOES SEEM TO SUBSIDE AS THE ENGINE WARMS BUT ON THE NEXT COLD DAY THE CAR TRIES TO ACCELERATE ITSELF AGAIN

ENGINE
BURNING 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 600 MILES. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT BUT WON'T FIX SINCE IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION? THEY SAID THE DEALER WOULD TELL ME WHEN I GO INTO SERVICE. BUT, I SAY THAT I DON'T GO TO MY DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY SAY THAT IS WHY I SHOULD GO TO A DEALER FOR SERVICE. REALLY SHADY WAY TO SAY YOU HAVE PROVIDED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT BUT THEN DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE NOTIFICATION TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE HAD THE OIL LIGHT GO ON WELL BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO BURN UP TO 4 TO 5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES SO CAN EASILY LEAD TO AN ENGINE FAILURE. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE IN A MOVING VEHICLE SO IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. IF ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENS THEN IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,683.

ENGINE
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ABNORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION SUCH THAT I HAVE HAD TO ADD QUARTS OF OIL AFTER 2,000-4,000 DRIVING MILEAGE WHICH HAS BEEN ALWAYS FAR BEHIND OIL-FILTER REPLACEMENT SERVICES AT 5,000 MILES. MY WIFE'S TOYOTA COROLLA DOES NOT HAVE THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AT ALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE YEAR OLDER. ULTIMATELY, IN 2016, I TOOK MY CAMRY TO A TOYOTA CENTER AND THEY SUGGESTED TO RUN AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST (WHICH TOYOTA HAD OFFERED IN A RECALL DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE -- EITHER IN PISTONS OR RINGS, OR BOTH). I ACCEPTED TO RUN THE TEST, AND AFTER THE TEST, THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THE TEST DID NOT SHOW SIGNIFICANT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THEY DID NOT FIX MY CAR. THIS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS A TOYOTA MANUFACTURING FAULT AND MUST BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BY TOYOTA AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ANY DEADLINE. TOYOTA ANNOUNCED 2008 CAMRYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM IS THERE IN ALL 2008 CAMRY CARS NOT ONLY IN DIAGNOSED CARS. TECHNICIANS MAY MAKE MISTAKES IN RUNNING THE TEST; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURED PIECES (PISTON AND/OR RING IN MY CASE) ARE ALL FAULTY IN ALL 2008 CAMRYS. REQUESTING TO RUN A TEST IS NOT REASONABLE AT ALL FOR A CAR TYPE THAT IS LEGITIMATELY PROVEN BY THE MANUFACTURER OR NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS TO POSSESS A FAULTY PIECE OR PIECES. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICES NORTH AMERICA DURING THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS (FEBRUARY 24 AND 26, 2018) AND TALKED TO SEVERAL RANKING CUSTOMER SERVICES AGENTS UP TO A SUPERVISOR. ALL OF THEM FAILED TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE AS I REQUESTED THEM TO FIX MY CAR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AT TOYOTA EXPENSE. ALL IN ALL, I STRONGLY URGE TOYOTA TO FIX THIS ISSUE TIMELESSLY BEFORE PEOPLE FALL INTO BIGGER AND FAR MORE SERIOUS TROUBLES OF LOSING THE CAR ENGINES (AND CONSEQUENT SAFETY ISSUES) AND FILING NUMEROUS LAWSUITS AGAINST TOYOTA.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOYOTA FAILS TO DISCLOSE THAT SUNROOF HAS DRAINS DESIGNED TO DISCHARGE WATER FROM THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. IF ONE OF THESE DRAINS GET CLOGGED (AND COULD HAPPEN VERY EASY) WATER GETS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WATER INFILTRATION CAN START WITH A VERY SLOW AMOUNT SO THE ISSUE IS NOT DISCOVERED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE UNDERNEATH THE CARPET IS A MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS THIS WATER. MOLD CAN BE DEVELOPED, AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS DURING DRIVING. MY SPOUSE ACCUSED BREATHING ISSUES AND PSORIASIS AND WE DISCOVERED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS GETTING RAIN WATER INSIDE.COULD BE FOR MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS, AS WELL AS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT - THERE IS NOT WAY TO ASSUME OR TO NOTICE HOW MUCH WATER YOU HAVE IN WHICH TIME BECAUSE YOU DISCOVER IT WHEN IS TOO LATE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE, CLAIMING THAT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. BUT IN THE TOYOTA OWNER MANUAL THIS DRAIN IS NOT DISCLOSED TO THE CUSTOMER, SO IT COULD TAKE A PERIODIC CHECK.ALSO LUSTINE TOYOTA FROM WOODBRIDGE VA WHERE WE SERVICE THE CAR AT EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION, WRITTEN OR NOT, ABOUT THESE DRAINS BUT INSTEAD CAN DIAGNOSE VERY QUICK THAT THE WATER IN THE CARPET COMES FROM CLOGGED DRAINS. HOW COME THAT TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT IS NOT RAISING ANY AWARENESS ABOUT IT, SO THE CUSTOMER CAN BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE INSTEAD OF HAVING THE VEHICLE FULL WITH WATER AND TO POSE DANGERS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS AROUND? TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE LIKE ANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE (SEE WW, CHRYSLER, VOLVO) FOR FAILURE TO DISCLOSE IMPORTANT CAR FEATURES. WE WILL NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE ISSUE TO BE CORRECTED ON THEIR EXPENSE BUT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, REPRESENTED BY MRS. KRISTEN, REFUSES. OUR CASE NUMBER WAS 1802171412 PLEASE HELP

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET THE 'CHECK VSC SYSTEM' MESSAGE SUDDENLY APPEARED ALONG WITH MANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND A WARNING SOUND. BRAKING AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. MY CAR HAS HAD EVERY MANUFACTURER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE PERFORMED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. THE FIRST MONTH I NOTICED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THIS NEW VEHICLE ACCELERATES. WHEN STOPPED AND STARTING MOVEMENT AGAIN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKS AND DOES NOT SPEED UP RIGHT AWAY. THE JERKING PART IS MY MAIN SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND NO OTHER MODEL HAS DONE THIS. I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL REAR END MY DUE TO THE SUDDEN JERKING AND THEN DELAYED RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS ESPECIALLY DISTRESSING AT INTERSECTION LIGHTS, OFF RAMPS, AND STOP SIGNS. ANYWHERE REQUIRED TO STOP OR SLOW MOVEMENT AND THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AT A MODERATE PACE. SOMETHING JUST IS NOT RIGHT.
