MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRE BLEW OR SOMETHING ELSE AND THEN I HEARD AIR. I THOUGHT ONE OF THE WINDOWS WAS HIT BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY MY SUNROOF. THERE'S HUGE HOLE AND GLASS IS SHATTERED. I AM THANKFUL THAT IT WASN'T OPEN AND THAT MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR. 3 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A EXTENDED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR A INTERNAL LEAK IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (C1391). THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. HOWEVER THIS TIME, ITS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND IS A GOING TO A 2K REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES BASED ON A LATENT DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS. TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND SET THE OIL CONSUMPTION LEVELS AT A RIDICULOUS LEVEL (1.2 QUARTS PER 1,200 MILES) AND THEY CONTINUE TO REJECT MY REQUEST TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. FUNNY NONE OF MY OTHER 5 TOYOTA'S HAVE EVER DONE THIS!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAS A SIGNIFICANT MONETARY COST TO FIX THE ISSUE. TOYOTA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WOULDN'T PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND MELTING. THE STICKY DASHBOARD HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HARDLY SEE WHERE I'M GOING WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD SHINES IN MY FACE AND SOMETIMES BLINDS ME. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

I BOUGHT 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM USED DEALER IN FEB 2016. I HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES BUT NOT LOSING ENGINE OIL. ON AUGUST 21ST TOOK THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE ADVISER ASKED IF MY CAR LOSE OIL. I SAID NO. THEN SAID WELL IF YOU DO LOSE OIL THEN BRING BACK AND WE WILL FIX FREE OF CHARGE. WITHIN FEW DAYS ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT SHOWED UP, TOOK TO THE SAME DEALER AND HE SAID DON'T WORRY IT WILL BE FIXED FREE. AFTER 3 WEEKS NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, CALLED THEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY CANT REPAIR IT FREE AS ENGINE IS NOT ORIGINAL ON THE CAR. I SAID I HAVE NOW IDEA AS I BOUGHT USED, PLUS I NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE, THEY SABOTAGE MY CAR TO CREATE A WORK SO GET PAID BY THE TOYOTA CORP. THIS IS NOT FAIR TOYOTA HAVING SUCH REPUTATION. CAR HAS STILL TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE AND DRIVEN MILES 130K. IF TOYOTA WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, THERE WILL BE A COMPAIGN AGAINST TOYOTA FROM THE FIRST PLACE AS THIS CAR IS NO MORE RELIABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO 10/12/2017, I HAD BEEN NOTICING A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE VENICE TOYOTA DEALER ON 10/05/2017, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS FAILING. ON 10/12/2017, ALL OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON MY DASHBOARD: ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC., AS WELL AS THE WORDS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM." ON 10/13/2017, I HAD THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY VENICE TOYOTA, AT A COST OF $1990.00. THREE YEARS PRIOR, IN JANUARY 2014, I HAD ALREADY HAD THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED DUE TO THE VERY SAME FAILURE.THERE WERE MANY REPORTS TO THE NHTSA AT THAT TIME FOR THE SAME MAKE VEHICLES AND YEAR RANGE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER TOYOTA ISSUED A VEHICLE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM, AND I WAS EVENTUALLY REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA FOR THAT REPAIR. BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THREE YEARS LATER. CLEARLY THERE IS STILL A WEAKNESS IN THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM, AND I EVEN WONDER IF MY SYSTEM WAS REPLACED BY THE EXACT SAME UNIMPROVED PARTS. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE OR FOR ITS REPAIR. MY CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE, CURRENTLY AT 95,000. ALSO, I ONLY PUT ON 26,700 ADDITIONAL MILES SINCE THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM FIRST FAILED 3 YEARS AGO.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION. THE U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER RECALL UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT SOME TRANSMISSION HESITATION WAS NORMAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO SAID THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - NOT SAFE MY FAMILY IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO THE TOYOTA BRAND AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH AN OF OUR VEHICLES IN THE PAST. I NOTICED THAT MY 2007 CAMRY SE 2.4L V4 HAD BEEN BURNING OIL EXTREMELY FAST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.AT FIRST, A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO CHANGE MY VALVE COVER GASKET AS THAT WAS WHAT HE PRESUMED TO BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. AFTER I PAID TO GET THAT REPLACED I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS STILL BURNING OIL AT AN EXTREMELY FAST RATE. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE MY PCV VALVE AND SWITCH TO A SYNTHETIC-BLEND. NOTHING AT ALL HAS HELPED WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT IS DRAINING MY POCKETS AND TIME. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DRAINING AND UNSAFE.MY CAR BURNS OVER 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE, I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS PART OF THE ZE7- WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER AND WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 142,500 MILES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNDER 150,000 WHEN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS INITIATED IT STILL MET THE SERVICE GUIDELINES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INITIATE THE TEST WITH THE CAR STILL UNDER 150,000 MILES. DESPITE THE DEALER DID THE REPAIRS, THE OIL EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION STILL PRESENT. THE CAR HAS DIMINISHED VALUE DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE TO EITHER COVER THE REPAIR COST OR DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES CONSTANTLY CHECKING MY OIL TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T\'T RUN OUT AND COMPLETELY KILL THE ENGINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. INTERESTED IN CLASS ACTION?: YES

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT SHUDDER : I EXPERIENCED SHUDDERING IN MY VEHICLE DURING 25--50 MPH SPEED AND SHUDDERING IS HEAVY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL ROADS AND IN SNOW. WHEN HAPPENS I FELT VIBRATION ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHT VIBRATION ON STEERING WHEELS AND CAR WILL NOT MOVE UNDER NORMAL GAS PEDAL PRESS. I TOOK TO THE DEALER UNDER TOYOTA WARRANTY THEY REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER AND ADDED COUPLE OF PAN MAGNETS TO COLLECT DEBRIS FROM TRANSMISSION , BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I INFORMED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER FOUR MORE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD PRESS GAS PEDAL HARDER WHEN SHUDDERING OCCURS , BUT THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HARMS WAY. DURING SNOW THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT WILL BE MUCH HIGHER I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER AND THAT WILL LEAD TO AN SPINOFF AND ACCIDENTS. FINALLY I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THE ISSUE IS NOT TORQUE CONVERTER AND I HAVE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM AND I WANT TOYOTA TO RECALL AND FIX THIS SHUDDERING ISSUE BEFORE PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE IN DANGER.

2 COMPLAINTS: 1. WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT SOMETIMES GET STUCK WHERE I HAVE TO PRESS EVEN HARDER AND THEN THE FRONT WHEELS START SPINNING TOO RAPIDLY. ONE TIME AT A SCHOOL CROSS WALK, THE PEDAL STUCK, I PUSHED HARDER AND FINALLY THE WHEELS ENGAGED BUT THE SCREECHING IT MADE, HAD THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD GIVING ME A "DIRTY" LOOK. 2. THE CAMRY IS GOING THROUGH OIL LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. WITHIN 5000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO ADD MORE THAN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. IT IS RIDICULOUS.
