WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR, THE PASSENGER SUNVISOR WOULDN'T STAY UP. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS ABOUT A $500-$600 PART & HE WASN'T GOING TO PAY TO FIX IT. BEING THAT I NEVER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DID NOT BOTHER ME. THERE WAS HOWEVER A RECALL ON THIS PART, & AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART & SCHEDULE TO GET THIS FIXED BY THE TIME ALLOTMENT THEY HAD PLACED. SO, MY ACTUAL COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY PLACED A TIME ALLOTMENT. BECAUSE, AFTER THAT TIME ALLOTMENT EXPIRED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW USEFUL A SUN VISOR TRULY IS, UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO USE IT. IT'S INSTALLED FOR A REASON, NOT TO BE SOMETHING FANCY IN A CAR. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES, THE SUN HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAILURE TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. CLEARLY, TOYOTA RECALLED THIS DUE TO THE MANY FAILURES IT HAD ALREADY RECEIVED. IF, I WAS AWARE THAT THE $500-$600 PART WAS GOING TO BREAK A MONTH AFTER IT'S RECALL DATE. I MOST LIKELY WOULD OF TRIED TO GET IT REPLACED SOMEHOW? OF, COURSE THEY WON'T FIX IT UNTIL IT'S BROKEN. IT'S GOING TO BE AWFULLY HARD TO GET A FAIR MARKET VALUE WHEN TRYING TO EVENTUALLY TRADE IN THE CAR OR SELL IT OUTRIGHT. WHEN, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AND, NOBODY IS GOING TO PAY $500-$600 TO FIX THIS. SO, FOR MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES TO TRY & STOP A WRECK OR FATALITY FROM OCCURRING PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANFULLY, MY AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED YET! TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR THIS, & THEY SHOULD BE MANDATED TO FIX THIS! THE RECALL WAS FOR 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S

ENGINE
THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO JERK AND THEN IT WILL NOT IDLE. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART THEN IT RUNS WELL FOR A MONTH OR SO BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. THAT DID NOT HELP. THE CAR HAS 151000 MILES ON IT HAS PRESENTS THIS PROBLEM ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES ALWAYS WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO TRY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A STOP BY CAR WILL SHUT OFF. THE CAR WHEN SITTING HAS A ROUGH IDLE (400-500 RPM) WITH ALL HEAT/AC ETC TURNED OFF BUT CAN VARY AT TIMES OF AN IDLE OF 700-900RPM NOTABLY WHEN A/C IS ON IT DRAGS THE RPMS DOWN TO 300-400 AND WILL SHUDDER AT A STOP. THERE'S NO CODES ON DIAGNOSTICS, NO NOISES OR LACK OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MAY BE WORTH MENTIONING THIS VEHICLE "PASSED' THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT I AM STILL ADDING A QT OF OIL EVERY 1200-1800 MILES. A SEARCH OF THE WEB SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION. HELP?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA MY 2007 TOYOTA HYBRID HAS BEEN BEHAVING BADLY, WITH JUST 190K MILES.MY TRACTION BATTERY MONITOR WOULD SHOW 7 BARS FALLING TO 1 BAR INSTANTLY. INSTANTLY, AS I WOULD BE LOOKING AT IT AND IT JUST DROPPED THAT FAST. IT WOULD GET PARKED WITH A FULL CHARGE INDICATED AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING ONE BAR. SOMETIMES IT GOES INTO E MODE AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IVE BEEN CLOSE TO CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE ECM THROWS A WARNING, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". I BORROWED AN ACTRON SCANNER THAT HAD THE CAPABILITY OF BASIC HYBRID CODES AND ONE CODE WAS PRESENT "P0A80". ALSO, CHECK VSC WOULD SHOW ALL THE TIMES. SOMEWHERE I READ THIS IS NORMAL WITH P0A80 AS THE ECM SHUTS DOWN THE VSC TO CONSERVE POWER..

ON THE 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DOOR JAMB HAS A STICKER THAT READS "CAUTION: LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY REDUCED. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE REDUCED THE ORIGINAL LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY BY 9 KG OR 21 LBS." I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO EXPLANATION WHY THIS STICKER WAS PLACED ON THE DOOR JAMB.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO AFFECT ON SLOWING THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 69-80 FEET (ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, MY LAWN AND MY NEIGHBOR'S LAWN) IT CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S SHED. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR , SOME BACK PAIN AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHED.TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING IT INTO FIRST NEUTRAL GEAR AND THEN PARK BEFORE ANY DAMAGE. THEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PUT IN FIRST, NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS CONDITION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. MY CAR STOPPED BUT WOULD CREEP UP UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES HARDER. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE IT THEY COULD NOT. THEY PULLED THE INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER TO FIND OUT MY BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED? THEY ARE UNSURE IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET (NHTSA) TO SEE IF ANY OTHER 2015 TOYOTAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SAID TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE YET THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM HAVING THE ISSUE TO DO A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! MY CAR HAS HAD ALL OF ITS REQUIRED MAINTENANCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON CHANGING CELLULAR SERVICE THIS YEAR, I GOT A NEW PHONE. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER IT INTO THE CAMRY'S BLUETOOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE, AS I FOUND OUT AFTER TAKING THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE, THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TOUCH SCREEN NO LONGER WORKS. AS A RESULT, TO USE THE CELL PHONE IN THE CAR I HAVE TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND AND WORK THE PHONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM, APPARENTLY SO PREVALENT IN TOYOTAS THAT IT CAN BE GOOGLED ONLINE.

FUEL TANK HAS A CRACK IN THE SEAM ON THE TOP OF THE TANK WHICH IS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE BACK SEAT. ENTIRE FUEL HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1319. IT MUST BE REPLACED FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE CAUSE IS FAULTY MANUFACTURING AS THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IF WE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION ENDANGERING MY CHILDREN WHO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT HAS TO BE A FAULTY TANK DUE TO THE CRACK BEING IN THE SEAM.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA AIRBAGS: KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET & ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH OVER ABOUT 150 YARDS, I HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN THE STREET. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. THE AIRBAG KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. (I WEIGH 122 LBS & I'M 5 FT 3.5 IN.) I DIDN'T REALIZE I'D BEEN KNOCKED OUT: I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE I' BEEN UNCONSCIOUS OR THAT MY EYEGLASSES HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG HADN'T FULLY INFLATED. BUT MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID SHE HAD THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BECAUSE SHE REPEATEDLY CALLED TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I DIDN'T ANSWER. I NEVER HEARD HER OR EVEN KNEW MY CHEST/FACE WAS AGAINST THE AIRBAG. MY DAUGHTER SAID MY FACE AND CHEST WERE SLUMPED AGAINST THE AIRBAG. I WAS SHOCKED: ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I JUST SAW THE CAR I WAS GOING TO HIT, BRAKED, AND THEN SAW A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. BUT MY CHEST HURT. THE NEXT DAY MY CHEST HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T PRESS THE CAP ONTO A MAGIC MARKER. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE FELT LIKE I HAD SOMETHING ON IT (LIKE A PIECE OF CLOTH), AND MY LEFT CHEEK AT THE CHEEKBONE WAS SWOLLEN AND BRUISED. THE VISION IN MY LEFT EYE WAS BLURRY, TOO. SO I WENT TO THE ER WHERE THEY DID CT SCANS OF MY CHEST AND BRAIN. THEY SAID I HAD A MILD CONCUSSION. I GOT A PARTIAL BLACK EYE ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, AND I NOTICED A 4" BY 4" BRUISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY RIGHT CALF. EVEN TODAY--28 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT--MY CHEST AND CALF STILL HURT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A 40 MPH STREET AND PROBABLY ONLY GOT TO 18 OR 20 MPH WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THEN HIT THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD HER SEATBELT ON IN THE BACK SEAT, WAS UNHARMED.

DECEMBER 29TH AT 3:00 A.M MY WIFE AND I WAS GOING TO THE ATM IN GRANGER TX. AS I APPROACHED A SHARP CURVE I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE CAR SPEEDED UP HIT THE CULVERT AND WENT AIRBORNE. WE CAME DOWN ON A BOULDER AND SOMEHOW WE MANAGED TO DRIVE BACK TO MY BROTHER IN LAWS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SEVERE WHIPLASH, I CRACKED MY L1 AND INJURED MY SIDE AND BACK. MY WIFE'S HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW SO HARD SHE HAD A CONCUSSION KNOTS AND BRUISES ON HER HEAD. SHE HAS BRUISES ON HER RIGHT SHOULDER, HIT HER KNEE AND LEG. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN WEARING SEAT BELTS WE WOULD HAVE DIED. IF OUR AIRBAGS HAD WORKED WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HURT AS BAD AS WE ARE. MY WIFE'S GLASSES ARE BENT AND MY WATCH IS BROKE. I AM SENDING PICTURES TO PROVE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK. NOT SUR WHAT THE ODOMETER READING IS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO TURN THE CAR ON SINCE THERE IS NO LONGER NO OIL OR ANTIFREEZE.
