STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
THIS CAR HAS REQUIRED 6 SETS OF TIRES IN LESS THAN 90,0000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON TO ROLL IT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. THE AIR CONDITIONER OCCASIONALLY SWITCHES ITSELF FROM RECYCLED TO FRESH AIR WHILE DRIVING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING RANDOM ALARM ABOUT SEATBELT WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED THERE. THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY TO THE TOUCH, AND CLOTH WOULD STICK TO IT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO WIPE IT CLEAN. THE DASHBOARD THEN DEVELOPED SEVERAL DEEP CRACKS, RUNNING ERRATICALLY LY FROM FRONT TO BACK. IN PLACES AROUND TRIM PIECES, DASHBOARD PLASTIC HAS FLAKED AWAY. PLASTIC ON THE TOP OF THE CONSOLE'S LID HAS CHIPPED AND FLAKED AWAY, AND CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND IT. PAINT ON TRIM OF CONSOLE HAS BUBBLED UP AND RUINED THE FINISH IN CONSOLE DRINK HOLDER LID. THE CD PLAYER MALFUNCTIONED, WITH A DISC READ ERROR REPORTED, THOUGH NO DISC WAS INSIDE THE PLAYER, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF SYSTEM. THE AUX AUDIO PORT FAILED AFTER ONLY A YEAR OF REGULAR USE. THE FLOOR MATS HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP WANTED TO PROVIDE RECALL SERVICE LIMITED TO SECURING THESE WITH A ZIP TIE. CARPETING BECAME STAINED AND FILTHY, AND COULD NOT BE EFFECTIVELY CLEANED, SO CARPETING HAD TO BE REPLACED BY OWNER. RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA BY THE OWNER HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO WEIGHT CAPACITY RATING STICKER, ALTHOUGH THIS WAS TOYOTA FINANCED VEHICLE AND OWNER'S ADDRESS REMAINS UNCHANGED. OTHERWISE, ALL RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED BY REGISTERED OWNER, HAVE BEEN LIMITED TO THOSE REPORTED BY NHTSA FOLLOWING OWNER'S REGISTRATION AT WEBSITE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS ROUTINELY BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE, DISMISSIVE, OR CONTENTIOUS WHEN WARRANTY SERVICE REQUESTS WERE MADE. DEALERSHIP OFFERS ONLY REASONS TO DENY WARRANTY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS.

SEATS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED UP AND DOWN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SEAT MOVED TO THE STEERING AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT RECLINED TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SILSBEE TOYOTA IN SILSBEE, TX), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 700.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I'M TAKING OFF IT TAKES A FEWS SECONDS BEFORE IT CATCHES SPEED. EVEN IF I'M PUSHING DOWN PRETTY MUCH ON THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IT TAKES A WHILE BEFORE IT CATCHES SPEED. CARS BEHIND ME START PASSING ME. ALSO, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHEN I'M MERGING INTO THE FREEWAY AND I'M TRYING TO CATCH SPEED IT WONT SPEED UP UNTIL A FEW SECONDS SO I GET NEVER THAT I'M TOO FAR IN AND A CAR BEHIND ME MIGHT HIT ME BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CATCH SPEED RIGHT AWAY AND ONCE IT CATCHES SPEED IT GOES EXTREMELY FAST BECAUSE I'M PUSHING SO FAR DOWN ON THE PEDAL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CATCH IT RIGHT AWAY. I'VE GOTTEN SCARED OF FEW TIMES. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING DEFECTED WITH THIS CAR. AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE BODY OF THE CAR, THE SPEED CONTROL IS A REAL PROBLEM. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. IT'S WHEN I'M STOPPED AND ON THE FREEWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE ON. IN 2014 TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE1 FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. A MONTH AGO (2 YEARS LATER) THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS OCCURRED (SAME 5 WARNING LIGHTS). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY CORRECTED, THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ZE1 NO LONGER APPLIED. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD WARRANTY.

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR HAS CAME UNHINGED ON ITS OWN. I AM ABLE TO TEMPORARILY PLACE IT BACK ON THE HOOK BY PULLING THE PLASTIC OPEN THAT SURROUNDS THE BRACKETS SO IT CAN OPERATE AS A SUNVISOR SHOULD. BUT IF I GO OVER A BUMP THEN IT IS LIKELY TO COME UNHOOKED AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION BY LEANING WHILE ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE SMALL CATCH HOOK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AT TIMES IT COMPLETELY FALLS INTO MY LAP AS I AM DRIVING OR I WILL GET INTO THE CAR AND THE VISOR WILL BE LAYING ON THE SEAT. IT FALLS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STABLE AND IN MOTION. IT ALSO WILL NOT CLOSE UP. SO IF I NEED IT CLOSED (I.E AT NIGHT) THEN I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF. MY MOTHER HAS DRIVEN MY CAR AND SHE IS SHORTER THAN ME SO SHE SITS CLOSER THERE THE WHEEL. SHE INFORMED ME THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VISOR FELL OFF AND HIT HER ON THE HEAD. BIG ISSUE! IT IS SOMEWHAT EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD FIX. IT SEEMS THE "SAFEST" THING TO DO BESIDES REPLACE IT IS TO NOT HAVE THE VISOR UP BUT THAT IT'S THE SOLE REASON FOR HAVING A SUN VISOR... TO BLOCK THE SUN... YET IT DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY SERVE IT'S PURPOSE WITHOUT RISK. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED BUT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS IN EVERY POSITION IT IS MOVED TO SO I'M SURE IT WILL BREAK SOON ALSO. SO I CHECKED OUT TOYOTA RECALL/WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY ONLY A FEW OF THE 2011 VEHICLES FALL IN THE COVERED RANGE ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN THOSE FEW. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC CONCERN. OBSTRUCTED VISION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FALL WITHIN THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR RANGE BUT NOT THE VIN RANGE FOR REPAIR, WHICH IS CRAZY! ANY OF THE TOYOTA'S WITH THIS ISSUE THAT MEET THE BASIC CRITERIA SHOULD QUALIFY REGARDLESS OF THE PRODUCT SUPPLIER FOR THAT VIN. SEEMS TO BE A WAY TO SPEND LESS FIXING BY COVERING LESS VEHICLES AND NOT CONSIDERING SAFETY.
