AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
WHEN DRIVING ON A ROAD AND HITTING A BIG POTHOLE THE SRS LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD MIGHT LIGHT UP AND STAY ON AS WELL AS THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT ONCE BEFORE TO THE SERVICE FACILITY OF TOYOTA AND THIS ISSUE GOT FIXED, WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE STAFF WHY IS THAT HAPPENING THE ANSWER WAS: "IF YOU DRIVE IN A BIG POT HOLE THE CONNECTION TO THE SENSOR THAT IS LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MIGHT BECOME LOOSE WHICH REQUIRES TO BE CONNECTED AGAIN AND RE-CALIBRATED. WHILE HAVING THIS ISSUE THE FRONT PASSENGERS AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY AS THE LIGHT ON THE MIDDLE CONSOLE STATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CURRENTLY TURNED OFF EVEN IF THE PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND IS RESTRAINT. TO ME IT SOUNDS AS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD NOT HAPPEN JUST BECAUSE OF A POT HOLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE RECENTLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE LOCKS ON BOTH FRONT DOORS OF MY 2012 CAMRY SE. THE FRONT PASSENGER'S DOOR WOULD ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK MANUALLY, AND NOW THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL, INTERMITTENTLY, STAY LOCKED WHEN USING THE REMOTE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACTUATOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S DOOR IN JUNE. THEN, LAST MONDAY THE REMOTE WOULDN'T WORK ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN, BUT AFTER LOCK/UNLOCKING THE CAR "ABOUT 150 TIMES" THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND BASICALLY I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN LOCKED FOR OVER AN HOUR. IT'S ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE RIGHT NOW BUT I'M AFRAID THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER'S DOOR, AND AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL ESCALATE FROM AN INCONVENIENCE TO A SECURITY ISSUE. ALSO, I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CAMRY SE. *TR

SEATS, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, STRUCTURE
I DROVE THIS 2012 CAMRY ON THE HIGH WAY TO NASHVILLE TN FOR 8 DAYS VOCATION STARTED 28 JUNE 2014, LOT OF WATER COMING OUT FROM CARPET, HAD TO STOP AND CLEAN WATER IN EVERY COUPLE HOURS(MY HAND WAS INJURED WHEN CLEANING UP WATER). AFTER I ARRIVED A HOTEL, I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL IN DEC 2013 ON THIS A/C WATER LEAK, IT CAN CAUSE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT", ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT", OR OTHER PROBLEMS. WE ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT CAR MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT IN THE WHOLE VOCATION. ------ AFTER BACK TO ROCHESTER NY, CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME GO TO TOYOTA SERVICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM; SO I WENT TO HENRIETTA NY TOYOTA SERVICE AND TOLD THEM A/C WATER LEAK, THEY SAID THEY WILL FIX THAT, ON THE SERVICE REPORT PRINTED:" CUSTOMER STATES THERE IS A WATER LEAK", "WORK PERFORMED BY XXXX", "CLEANED A/C DRAIN". BUT THE MANAGER LIED TO ME, HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. ------ NOT SURE IF IT IS TOTALLY FIXED, CAR STILL VERY MOIST, SMELL IS BAD, EVEN AFTER OPEN CAR'S 4 DOORS, PUT THE CARPET BASK IN THE SUN FOR FEW DAYS. ------ YESTERDAY, I FOUND ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE REPORT AND RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA ON 12/28/2013, AND THIS REPORT SHOWS THEY "PERFORMED WORK BY XXXX." . I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS CAR RECALLED AND ALREADY PERFORMED THE "FIX" FOR A/C WATER LEAK PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY, TOYOTA SERVICE DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY LIED TO ME. ------ THIS CAMRY HAS DAMAGE UNDER CARPET BECAUSE OF WATER LEAK, IT MAY CAUSE SOME ELECTRIC CIRCUITS PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, I DON'T WANT TO BE WORRY EVERYDAY, SO I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANY MORE (THE LEASE TERM WILL END IN ONE MORE YEAR AND A MONTH, I PAID $3000 DOWN PAYMENT FOR 3 YEAR LEASE, ALSO EVERY MONTH PAYMENT). WHAT IS MY CHOICE? ------ THANKS! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
DEAR SIR/MADAM, TOYOTA 2012 CAR REMOTE KEY CAN OPEN THE DOORS OF OTHER TOYOTA CARS. FOR INSTANCE, A REMOTE KEY OF A TOYOTA COROLLA CAN OPEN THE DOORS OF A TOYOTA CAMRY. THIS CREATES A BIG SAFE/SECURITY PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS MADE IN 2011-2012 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A FRIEND AND ME WERE ON A TRIP TO MARKSVILLE, LA, AND I PUT MY CRUISE CONTROL ON, GOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE INTERSTATE 20, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF. IT SCARED US SO BAD I DIDN'T USE IT ANYMORE DURING THE TRIP. WILL, THIS MONTH MY HUSBAND AND ME WERE GOING TO SHEVEPORT, LA AND I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AGAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST TOOK OFF LIKE A JET. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND IT QUIT. MY HUSBAND ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING PUTTING ON THE GAS LIKE THAT. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T DO IT AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TIME BEFORE. SO WE DIDN'T USE THIS CRUISE CONTROL ANYMORE DURING THIS TRIP. I'M WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN CASE SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN THAT MIGHT CAUSE DEATH, JUST IN CASE IF I HIT THE BRAKE AND IT DOESN'T WORK I'LL HAVE THIS IN WRITING.. FOR YOU AND MY FAMILY. YOU NEVER KNOW. HAVE YOU HAD ANY MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL? *TR

THERE IS A MOUSE IN MY ENGINE SOMEWHERE AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WAY OF DIAGRAM TO BE ABLE TO FIND IT. IT MUST BE COMING IN THROUGH THE AIR SYSTEM SOMEHOW. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS COME INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE OR HOW TO FIND IT. ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE, IT'S VALID ENOUGH TO FIND OTHERS REPORTING IT. THERE MUST BE A WAY TO CALL AND GET A DIAGRAM OF INTAKE AIR SYSTEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THAT HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE AFTER A LONG PHONE CALL, WE'RE TOLD TAKE IT TO DEALER. *TR
