VISIBILITY/WIPER
DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING IN THE HEAT. NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AS THE DASHBOARD IS UP CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU CAN FEEL HOW TACKY THE DASHBOARD IS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! THIS IS IMPACTING VISIBILITY BY CAUSING EXTREME GLARE SO THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ON SUNNY DAYS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND APPARENTLY OUR DEALERSHIP HAD THE WRONG CITY LISTED FOR OUR ADDRESS WHICH MEANS WE DIDN'T GET THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOW WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YEAR WINDOW BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IN NOV OF 2006. GIVE ME A BREAK! THIS IS ONE OF 5 TOYOTA'S WE CURRENTLY OWN AND THE REASON WE BUY TOYOTA'S IS BECAUSE THEY LAST. OUR CAMRY JUST HIT 84K MILES AND I EXPECT IT TO LAST MANY YEARS TO COME, BUT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! WE CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND THEY SAID "I'M SORRY BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW WE OFFERED FOR SERVICE" AND "I'M SORRY YOUR DEALERSHIP DIDN'T PROPERLY UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU GAVE IT TO THEM....BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". THIS IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN A MELTING DASHBOARD NOT BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT'S MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT DUE TO GLARE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OURS DIDN'T BECOME A PROBLEM UNTIL THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE FIND OUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS CLOSED. I SEE ONLINE PEOPLE ARE WAITING YEARS TO GET REPLACEMENTS....THIS IS JUST TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THE DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE. THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO LAST DECADES AND TO HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL IS JUST WRONG. WE NEVER RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION AND THE PROBLEM BECAME SEVERELY WORSE THIS SUMMER. WE'RE ABOUT A YEAR PAST THE 10 YEARS AS WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN NOV OF 2016. WHAT CAN WE DO? THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE STICKY GOO THAT IS NOW MY DASHBOARD. YOU JUST CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON SUNNY DAYS, IT'S A TRAVESTY.

"ABS ACTUATOR EXTENDED WARRANTIES", IN 2014 MY CAR HAD TWO ISSUES WITH THE ABS ACTUATOR AND MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FROM THEM. NOW MY CAR IS DISPLAYING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" AND MANY LIGHTS ON MY DASH. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT IS THE ABS ACTUATOR AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TOYOTA HAD 2 EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR TROUBLE WITH THE ABS ACTUATOR. BOTH OF THESE WARRANTIES HAVE NOW EXPIRED SO MY ABS ACTUATOR CANNOT BE FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY PART AT ANYTIME I AM DRIVING I CAN LOSE BRAKING AND STEERING POWER. I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE WITH YOUR AGENCY FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO HAVE THE PART CHANGED WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES WERE IN-FORCE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AND AS I SAID EARLIER MY DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FROM THE FIRST TIME THESE ISSUES OCCURRED.

"ABS ACTUATOR" TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID ABS ACTUATOR, MY DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME 10/23/2017 THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR IS GOING OUT. IF THIS HAPPENS IT WILL BE HARD TO STOP AND OR STEER MY CAR WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WANT TO BE SURE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN LODGED WITH THE NHTSA.

I WAS TRAVEL ON THE BELT AROUND RICHMOND (295) HEADED SOUTH AT APPROX. 70 MPH AND THE BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY CRACKED OPEN. THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION LIKE SOUND GOING OFF AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY SUN ROOF. THIS OCCURRED ON 19 OCT 2017 @ 1800HRS. I LOOKED FOR A ROCK OR ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND NOTHING WAS FOUND.

TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA TO DIAGNOSE, IT FELT AS IF IT WAS DOWNSHIFTING WHEN I WAS DRIVING! THEY SAID THEY DID A TEST DRIVE AS WELL AS DIAGNOSTIC ON IT! EVERYTHING IS GOOD THEY SAID! I DRIVE OFF THE LOT AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED! I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHEN THE PROBLEM WASN'T GETTING BETTER, WORRIED BECAUSE I DRIVE MY 2 LITTLE GIRLS EVERYWHERE! AND LO AND BEHOLD IT'S THE TRANSMISSION! WHICH I THEN DROVE BACK TO MOUNTAIN STATES TOYOTA AND THEN THEY CONFIRMED! ACCORDING TO SEVERAL MECHANICS IT'S A FAULT IN THE TOYOTA TRANSMISSION THAT THEY WILL NOT ADMIT TO! OF COARSE! TOYOTA PERSISTING TO GET US OUT WHEN CONFRONTED, MANAGERS CUSSING, SO ON AND SO FORTH! THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO LIE TO ME AND TELL ME I HAVEN'T BEEN IN SENSE 95,000 LOL WHEN I WAS JUST IN WITHIN THAT MONTH WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM! MORE LIES! NOW I AM ALMOST POSITIVE THEY HAVE POURED SOMETHING DOWN MY TRANSMISSION TO THICKEN THE FLUID AS A TEMPORARY FIX! THEY HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR 2 HOURS ME THINKING THEY WERE JUST DOING A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT! THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL JUST NOT ADMIT IT, AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! THERE ARE MACANICS WORKING FOR TOYOTA KNOWING THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID TO LOSE THEIR JOB! I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF MY VEHICLE, AND HAVE MAINTAIND IT SENSE I DROVE IT OFF THAT LOT!

STAND UP AND FIGHT IF IT'S NOT RIGHT! AND THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING! PLEASE GO TO A MECHANIC ASAP! TOYOTA WILL LIE AND TELL YOU IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER FIRST BUT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY KNOW IT, THEY WILL MAKE THEIR MONEY WHILE YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. THE DASHBOARD FLASHED WARNING LIGHTS "BRAKE" AND A 2ND WARNING OF "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM". I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CONSULTED THE MANUAL WHICH SAID STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT TOYOTA DEALER, WHICH I DID. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO LIPTON TOYOTA, SUNRISE, FL (IT WAS NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ON THE FREEWAY). BY THE TIME I REACHED THE DEALER THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY CALLED LATER AND INFORMED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. I ASKED THEM TO RECHECK AS I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG SINCE THE BRAKE DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. THEY KEPT THE CAR UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO RECHECK THE CAR, AND AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENED TWICE ONE AT 22K AND ANOTHER AT 24K MILES

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DASHBOARD MELTING AND BECOMING VERY SHINY AND STICKY. BECAUSE OF THE SUPER SHINY DASH, MY VISION IS OBSCURED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE DURING THE DAY.. ESPECIALLY ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK AS THE SUN IS RISING AND SETTING. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR TOYOTA AMERICA, WHICH I DID. TOYOTA AMERICA ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENTS FOR MY CAR, AS THEY ARE ONLY ACTIVE UP TO YEAR MODELS 2009 AT THIS TIME. THEY DID ADVISE THAT FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS, THEY ARE DOING THEM CASE BY CASE, ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER, AND GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION - WHICH I DID. AFTER ALMOST 2 WEEKS OF WAITING ON A RESPONSE, I CALLED TOYOTA JUST TO BE TOLD MY CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER AN OPEN RECALL OR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND MY STANDARD WARRANTY ONLY COVERED FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE GLARE PUT OFF BY MY DASH IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD, IN THAT I CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING HERE IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE ATTACHED PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON 10/16/2017 WHILE PARKED IN PARTIAL SHADE. PLEASE HELP ME AND ALL OF THE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING AND DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION. IT ALWAYS TILTS DOWNWARD. THIS RESULTS IN OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN POL12-03 DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECT FOR MY VIN #; THEREFORE, I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BEFORE THE EXPIRATION PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS FROM FIRST USE. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MY CAR SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VIN #S. THIS SUN VISOR SHOULD BE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOUND IN AFFECTED VIN #S. FROM SEVERAL ONLINE TOYOTA CAR OWNER FORUMS, THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR OWNERS OF CARS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BECAUSE THEIR VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST.
