FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE 'STALLS' OR 'HESITATES' WHEN GOING INTO MOTION FROM A STOPPED OR SLOW POSITION, AS IN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING ON A SIDE ROAD. IT IS SPORADIC SO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE 'STOPS' INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PAT THE GAS A FEW TIMES TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. THEY SUGGESTED I BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH I DID SEVERAL TIMES, BUT SINCE IT IS SPORADIC, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. THEY KEEP SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE MECHANICS SHRUG AND SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT FROM READING THIS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS, LET IT BE KNOWN NOW THAT I HAVE MADE IT PUBLIC THAT THERE IS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. THE CAR HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH TO THIS DAY.

THE ISSUE: A SERVICE PROVIDER VIOLATING THE 'MAKE INOPERATIVE' PROVISION OF THE LAW. WE PURCHASED FOUR TIRES AT SAM"S CLUB #8247, IN HOMEWOOD, AL. WHEN THEY RETURNED THE CAR WE RECEIVED AN ENVELOPE WITH THE INVOICE, THE KEYS AND A BROKEN "AIR PRESSER SENSOR". THEY JUST HANDED US THE ENVELOPE AND MADE NO MENTION OF THE BROKEN SENSOR. WE ASK THE YOUNG MAN YOU WAITED ON US 'WHAT HAPPEN' ? HE HAD NO CLUE, HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SENSOR WAS. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INVOICE SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN AT THE BOTTOM 'ROD BROKE SENSOR'. WE TALKED TO A STORE MANAGER SHE TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP, PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BRING THEM THE INVOICE AND THAT SAM'S WOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST UP $350.00. IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE SENSOR BEFORE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THEIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON THEIR PARKING LOT.

DASHBOARD IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY - THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD IN THE SUN OR AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS IS VERY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY ADVISED THEY SENT LETTERS ABOUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED AND SAID AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO RECOURSE. THIS POSES AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS SURPRISED THIS WASN'T A RECALL VS A WARRANTY EXTENSION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND WE HAVE HIGH MILEAGE AS IT IS MY PRIMARY CAR THAT I DRIVE DAILY.

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT ON A CITY STREET. ITS RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL WAS STRUCK BY A VEHICLE IN THE INTERSECTION. THAT IMPACT SPUN THE VEHICLE AROUND WHERE IT WAS ONCE AGAIN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. SO, BY THE TIME IT WAS OVER, THE PASSENGER-SIDE QUARTER PANEL, PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR, AND THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2009 CAMRY, WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE CAR SALESPERSON TOLD ME IT'S JUST CLEANER, SO OF COURSE I BELIEVED THEM. ALTHOUGH, WHEN I GOT HOME I READ ALL ABOUT TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS COMPANY'S INTERIOR MANUFACTURING. THERE IS AN INTENSE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY AND REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO MELT. THERE IS A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT WILL NOT COME OFF. I ALSO HAVE TRIED CALLING TOYOTA BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY WHERE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY DASHBOARD REPLACED. IT ALSO CREATES A TERRIBLE GLARE IN THE DAY TIME AND IT OBSTRUCTS YOUR VISION. AT THIS POINT ITS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN WILL THEY REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS???

SERVICE BRAKES
AT ALL TIMES, WHEN THE CAR IS ON, THE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY IS RUNNING ALMOST CONSTANTLY AND THERE IS AN AUDIBLE LEAK FROM THE UNIT. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE LEAK IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING UNIT TODAY AND SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER TOYOTA'S SERVICE EXTENSION PROGRAM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT SAFETY RELATED, YET WHAT BROUGHT ME INTO THE DEALERSHIP WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY. IMMINENT LOSS OF BRAKING SEEMS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN POWER WINDOWS, BUT I GUESS TOYOTA DOESN'T THINK SO.
