SERVICE BRAKES
MAINTENANCE LIGHT CAME ON AND GAVE IT FOR SERVICE AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FREMONT ON 11/12/2017. THEY PERFORMED A 60,000 MILES MAJOR SERVICE. THREE DAYS LATER, MAJOR BREAK FAILURE ON 11/15/17. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS CAUSED BY REPLACING THE BREAK FLUID AND THIS IS NOT NECESSARY AT 60,000 MILES SERVICE. THE CAR IS AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR $4,000 TO FIX IT. I READ THE CONSUMER REPORT AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY (2009 AROUND 84K MILES ON IT) AND YESTERDAY I NOTICED, THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN THE SPEED ODOMETER STOP WORKING AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON MANY SITES ,THERE IS A RECALL ONLY FOR TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID MODELS(HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/07/WHY-TOYOTA-SHOULD-RECALL-THE-CAMRY-HYBRID/INDEX.HTM) NOT FOR OTHER MODELS AND THIS REPAIR COST WOULD GO UPTO 2700 $ WHICH IS 10% OF THE CAR COST . TILL NOW PEOPLE USED TO THINK TOYOTA IS A RELIABLE CAR BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT WITH THESE TYPES OF APPROACH.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY, BUT THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC OBD-II CODE WAS P2128. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS OPEN CIRCUIT 552011. THE COST WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW TO REPORT IT. ALSO, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
WHILE MAKING TURNS ON WELL-MAINTAINED CITY STREETS, THE CAMRY HYBRID'S REAR END IS UNSTABLE. IT FISHTAILS. I EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE WHILE MAKING RIGHT-HAND TURNS, ONCE ON DRY PAVEMENT AND ONCE ON WET PAVEMENT. THESE ARE LOW-SPEED TURNS. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING ON A ROUNDABOUT AT A LOW SPEED IN A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. I AM A SAFE, CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MYSELF BECAUSE OF ITS EXCELLENT CRASH-SAFETY RATINGS. I WILL NO LONGER DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE REAR-END STABILITY PROBLEM, SO MY SPOUSE TOOK OVER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS MORNING, HE RETURNED FROM AN OUTING AND SAID THAT THE CAR FISHTAILED THREE TIMES TODAY, WHILE MAKING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. THE STREETS ARE DAMP TODAY (FROM AN OVERNIGHT RAIN). THE CAR IS DEALERSHIP-MAINTAINED; THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE BEHAVE IN THIS MANNER (HAVE OWNED OR CURRENTLY OWN AND DRIVE HONDA ACCORD, MAZDA B2200 PICKUP, MERCEDES 300SE, SUBARU FORESTER, VW JETTA, GM SIERRA PICKUP, FORD F150 PICKUP). I HAVE COMPLETED TWO TOYOTA SURVEYS DETAILING THIS COMPLAINT AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING. WANT TO SEND SOMEONE BY TO DRIVE THE CAR?

STEERING
AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THE TOYOTA 2016 UNIT AND STARTED DRIVING IT I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENTLY DISALIGNED. BUT IN AN AWKWARD MANNER: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FORCIBLY TURN LEFT. ANOTHER TIME RIGHT. SOMETIMES, SPECIALLY AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. IT IS AN ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS ALIGNED. THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A BIT DISALIGNED. NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. BACK TO THE SHOP AND A ROAD TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE MECHANIC WAS BEWILDERED AND COULD NOT FIND AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE
THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE WHERE THE OIL IS LEAKING AND BURNING IN THE ENGINE, I DID NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL NOTIFICATIONS. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA OF GASTONIA, THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED DUE TO THE SECOND CLAUSE OF 10 YEARS OF FIRST USE. I WAS STILL WELL WITH IN THE TIME FRAME, BUT I WAS NOT TOLD THAT WAS AN OPTION. AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

TWO DAYS BACK WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TAKE MY CAR OUT I HEARD SOME DIFFERENT SOUND.. THEN I STOPPED CAR AND OBSERVED THAT IT IS FLAT TIRE.. I TOOK THE TIRE OUT AND OBSERVED THAT THE TIRE GOT CUT BECAUSE THE SHOCK COIL SPRING GOT BROKEN INTO TWO AND THE SHARP EDGE OF THE SPRING IS CUTTING THE TIRE.. LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY .. A DAY BEFORE THAT I VISITED SANT CRUZ WITH FAMILY ( WIFE AND TWO KIDS ).. IF IT WAS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HELPLESS SITUATION.. I REPLACED ALL THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS ON NEXT DAY BY TOWING THE VEHICLE. TIRE HAS MORE THAN THREE CUTS.. I AM NOT SURE FROM HOW LONG THE SHARP EDGE SPRING WAS TOUCHING THE TIRE.
