VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 5:45 A.M. ON 9-4-2017 AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND DISCOVERED THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, NOTHING WAS THROWN AT ME AND I WAS NOT UNDER AN OVERPASS. WHEN I GOT HOME, I EXAMINED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION OF THE VEHICLE'S GLASS AND DID NOT OBSERVE ANY ROCKS, BOTTLES OR OTHER ITEMS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE GLASS TO BREAK. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE GLASS WAS CURVED/BOWED UPWARD INDICATING THAT AN OBJECT DID NOT HIT IT. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HOT IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING OVER 110 DEGREES, SO NOT SURE IF THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE GLASS SHATTERING. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING TOYOTA, WITH SEVERAL LAWSUITS AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BEEN EXPERIENCING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY MAYBE ABOUT 3 TO 5 HOURS INTO DRIVING. THE CAR JERKS AND PICKS UP SPEED A FEW MILES PER HOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I HAVE MANY ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN DUPLICATED. THE CAR ALSO HAS A SLUGGISH TAKE OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DRAGGING AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND MORE PHOTOS. THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD ALSO GIVES INCORRECT SPEED RATINGS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 40 MPH ON THE ROAD, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED . I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE CAR KEPT GOING AT THE ACCELERATED SPEED FOR ABOUT 3/4 MILE. IT FINALLY SLOWED ENOUGH FOR ME TO TURN OFF THE ROAD INTO A HOUSING COMPLEX. I THEN WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK. THE CAR KEPT IDLING AT THE SAME RATE EVEN WHILE IN PARK POSITION. SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD; THEREFORE, I GOT OUT AND WITHIN 1 MINUTE, IT WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE POLICE & FIRE TRUCK CAME AND PUT OUT THE FLAMES. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS.

I HAVE TAKEN FAIRLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR THROUGHOUT THE TIME I HAVE HAD IT WHICH IS ALMOST 10 YEARS BUT THE MILEAGE IS ONLY AT 130,000. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF BUT I HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, EVEN NEVER HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SO THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE. I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT THAT TIME AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY BELIEVED THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS APPEARING. THEY FIXED SAID PROBLEM BUT THEY REALIZED THE CAR WAS STILL DISPLAYING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO REVVING. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SO THEY COULD READ WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THAT ONE OF THE CYLINDERS WAS MISFIRING AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED A COMPLETE OVERHALL/REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN WAS $6000 FOR THE ENGINE (THIS SITE DID NOT ACCEPT THIS AMOUNT) AND ANOTHER AMOUNT WHICH I CAN'T RECALL FOR THE LABOR. I HAVE NOT YET DECIDED WHAT I WILL DO BUT WANTED TO LOOK UP ANY ENGINE RECALLS OR ISSUES OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THEIR CAMRYS AND CAME UPON THIS SITE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I'VE EXPERIENCED MORE THAT AVERAGE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR REGARDING THIS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. WHEN THE FIRST TEST RESULTS CAME OUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST AND THAT IT DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. WHEN THE FOLLOWING OIL CHANGE WAS DUE I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP JUST TO GET THE SECOND OPINION ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME I WAS REQUESTING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR MY VEHICLE. SURPRISINGLY THE RESULTS CAME OUT THE SAME WAY, THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST. AS OF RECENT, THE SITUATION HAS BECOME WORSE. I'M SUPPOSED TO TURN IN MY CAR AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 5,000 MILES PER TOYOTA STANDARDS, BUT AFTER ABOUT 700 TO 800 MILES MY ENGINE BEGINS GIVING NOISES WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, WHICH OVER TIME I CAME TO LEARN THAT THIS KIND OF NOISE IS AN INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS VERY LOW AND I NEED TO ADD MORE OIL. MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL, IT'S CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I AM CONSIDERING DOING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO ANOTHER REPUTABLE DEALERSHIP WITH NO CONNECTIONS WITH TOYOTA TO SEE HOW THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE. IN THE MEANTIME I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A HELP FROM THE NHTSA BECAUSE I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR ACTIONS. THANK YOU

RECENTLY PURCHASED (AUG 2017) A CAMRY AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS STICKY AND PLANNED TO CLEAN IT WITH AN ADHESIVE REMOVER; HOWEVER, IT ISN'T JUST STICKY IT HAS ACTUALLY MELTED AND BECOME SHINY CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS AND WHEN MEETING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT NIGHT. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED MAY 2017 (TOLD ME IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO HELP ME NOW). SOMETHING THAT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE AND NEEDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ISSUED IS NO LONGER UNSAFE TWO MONTHS LATER?

TOYOTA ISSUED TSB FOR "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION". I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEIR 'TEST' (I.E., MORE THAN 1 QT OF OIL IN 1,200 MILES) AND JUST BARELY "PASSED". BUT THE PROBLEM GROWS WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW BURNS OIL EXTREMELY QUICKLY. BUT TOYOTA TOLD ME TODAY THAT SINCE THE CARE IS NOW MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD, THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME. WHY WON'T TOYOTA JUST DO A "RECALL" TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM?

HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. WHETHER I DRIVE IN TOWN OR FREEWAY (I ONLY COMMUTE 11 MILES TO WORK). THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC AND DOWNRIGHT SCARY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY.

MY 2007 CAMRY HYBRID HAD A HIGH LEVEL OF OIL CONSUMPTION FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT IT.... WHEN I WOULD TAKE IT TO GET OIL CHANGES THERE WOULD BE NO ADVISING OF A LEAK, SO WHILE I THOUGHT IT TO BE VERY ODD AND INCONVENIENT I CONTINUED TO TOP OFF MY VEHICLE , AS FREQUENTLY AS MY CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. ON JULY 26,2017. MY "CAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" LIGHT CAME ON I TOLD MYSELF I'D GO TO THE MECHANIC ON THAT WEEKEND WHICH WAS ONLY A COUPLE DAYS AWAY. ONLY JULY 27,2017 ON MY WAY TO WORK I STARTED TO HEAR A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE NOISE WAS BUT I PULLED INTO AN AUTO ZONE AND POPPED THE HOOD. IT WAS THE ENGINE THAT WAS KNOCKING VERY LOUDLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND I CHECKED THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK WAS BONE DRY. WHERE DID 5 QUARTS OF OIL GO IN LESS THEN 3,000 MILES OF DRIVING? WHY WAS THERE NO ENGINE OIL LOW WARNING ON MY CAR? I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP WHERE MY ENGINE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD, WHICH TOYOTA CHARGED ME $115.00 TO DIAGNOSE. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THESE MODELS WERE NOTORIOUS FOR DRINKING UP OIL AND I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT IT. THE TOYOTA REP SAID THERE WAS LETTERS SENT OUT BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE! THERE WERE NO LETTERS MAILED TO ME AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE RIGHT AROUND THE EXACT SAME TIME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE TOYOTA MECHANIC SAID I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND A REBUILD ENGINE IS $5,000 OR I CAN BUY A BRAND NEW ENGINE FOR 12,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE ONLY REASON I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A TOYOTA WAS BECAUSE OF HOW THEY'RE WELL KNOWN FOR LASTING FOREVER. HOW WAS A SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION? AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I HOPE THEY PLAN TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. IF THE ENGINE HAD GIVEN OUT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE
