SUSPENSION
I HAVE BEEN CHANGE OIL BY TOYOTA DEALER, REGULARLY ON AND OFF, SINCE BLAND NEW. BUT ONCE A WHILE, I TOOK DIFFERENT SHOP TO CHANGE PARTS. ABOUT 2012 I LEARN THAT I HAVE PROBLEM WITH STRUT, WHEN I WAS REPLACING TIRES. SO I WENT BACK AND I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE STRUT TO KEARNY MESA TOYOTA, SAN DIEGO, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT IS STILL OKAY TO DRIVE AS IT IS, BUT ABOUT 2014, I STARTING HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY TIRES, SO I WENT TO TOYOTA POWAY, THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE STURT ALONG WITH TIRES, SO I REQUEST TO REPLACE STRUT AND TIRES AND THEY CALLED ME THE BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACE AS WELL. I WAS REALLY MAD AND I CONTACT THE TOYOTA, AND KEARNY MESA TOYOTA CONTACT ME THEY WILL REPLACE BEARING FOR ME. NOW AFTER 2 AND HALF YEARS WITH A LITTLE OVER 20K MILE ON THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO HAVING STRUT LEAK PROBLEM AGAIN. I CONTACT THE TOYOTA POWAY, THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE STRUT NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA AND THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP THIS TIME.

ENGINE
BOUGHT CAR USED A YEAR AGO. HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT 74,000 MILES WITHIN TIME FRAME ALLOWED. WAS TOLD ENGINE WAS GOOD. NOW, AT 80,000 MILES OIL IS AT BOTTOM TIP OF OIL DIP STICK. I CALLED DEALER WHERE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE. WAS TOLD "WE ONLY ADDED A QUART..." AT TEST'S CONCLUSION. I WAS NOT TOLD AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST'S CONCLUSION THAT A "QUART WAS ADDED." SINCE I WAS NOT TOLD A QUART WAS ADDED, I WASN'T AWARE I HAD TO WATCH MY OIL. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY BUT I COULDN'T MAKE-OUT WHAT IT WAS. FOLLOWING DAY, UPON STARTING VEHICLE, IT FLASHED AGAIN. ANOTHER DAY AND IT STAYS ON VERY BRIEFLY BUT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIGURE THAT IT WAS THE OIL LIGHT. I LET CAR SIT ON FLAT SURFACE FOR AN HOUR, CHECKED OIL AND IT JUST TOUCHED TIP OF DIPSTICK. I ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR 7 YEARS OF WARRANTY REPAIR. HOWEVER, MY VISOR FAILED 3 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THE EXTENSION EXPIRED AND THE LOCAL DEALER AND TOYOTA AMERICA REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT OBSCURES THE DRIVER'S VISION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2015. I WAS INFORMED THAT A RECALL WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON THE DASH BOARD. THIS WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT SUN WAS MAKING A STICKY GLAZE TO FORM. THIS IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE IT OFTEN CREATES A BLINDING GLARE DURING THE DAY WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHILE PARKED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DUE TO THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING, I SLOWED DOWN THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL. THE CAR TOOK OFF I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT STILL HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE ABOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING AND ACCELERATING. I HAD FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY BUMPER AND HOOD. THE VEHICLE I CRASHED INTO BACK BUMPER WAS ALSO DENTED.

STEERING
CAR PULLS TO LEFT AFTER NEW TIRES , 3 DIFFERENT ALIGNMENT CHECKS. WENT ON-LINE AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND FEW SOLUTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND LITTLE HELP FROM DEALERS. YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT PRESSURE ON WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED TO STAY IN LANE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AC CONDENSER UNIT PLUGS AND CREATES MOLD AND BAD SMELL FROM VENTS. MOLD CAUSES PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES TO START HAVING REACTIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE ACCUMULATED WATER MAY THEN LEAK THROUGH A SEAM IN THE HOUSING ONTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT OF THE MODULE. A SHORT CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO BECOME DISABLED OR INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO 2013 CAMRY MODEL RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V442000. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO 2014 CAMRY MODEL AS WELL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER & PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE EITHER FALLEN OFF COMPLETELY AND/OR NO LONGER ABLE TO STAY UP AND OUT OF WAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. WE'VE REPLACED THESE VISORS 2 TO 3 TIMES, AT LEAST ONCE WITH DEALER. NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED THE MORNING OF 7/18/17, WHEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY BECAME LOOSE FROM ITS UPWARD POSITION AND RELEASED TO AN UNSTABLE DOWNWARD POSITION. THIS SUDDEN OBSTRUCTION NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE VISOR BLOCKED THE DRIVER'S VIEW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION, BUT WAS REQUIRED TO HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO MANEUVER VISOR UPWARDS TO LOCK IN PLACE TO NO SUCCESS. DRIVER AT THAT POINT HAD TO REMOVE VISOR FOR SAFETY REASONS. PASSENGER VISOR ALREADY FELL OFF EARLIER ON ITS OWN AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BEEN REMOVED; VEHICLE NO LONGER HAS SUN VISORS. VEHICLE OPERATOR LIVES IN CENTRAL ARIZONA WITH CONSISTENTLY "VERY HIGH" UV INDEX. THE LOSS OF VISORS MAKES THIS CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING DAYTIME, EVEN WITH INDEPENDENT EYE PROTECTION (IE: SUNGLASSES) AS WELL AS WITH HE VISORS' UNRELIABILITY TO REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE CAR'S INTERIOR.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE VISORS IN THE CAR. THE LAST REPLACEMENT ONLY 3 YEARS AGO (JULY 2014). THE SPRINGS KEEP BREAKING, AND THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP NOR WILL THEY STAY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THEREFORE, IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN WITH MY VISORS DOWN. THE ONLY REASON I EVER PUT THEM DOWN IS WHEN I PUT A THIN LITTLE SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT WORK. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE VISORS, MUCH LESS 3 TIMES.

ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL FOR OVER A YEAR. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT (NOT TOYOTA) HAS NOT FOUND A PROBLEM. RECENTLY A FRIEND FOUND OUT ON LINE THAT THERE IS A TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THIS ISSUE GOOD FOR 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES. I CALLED A LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT I AM OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT BECAUSE I AM OVER THE 150,000 MILES BUT I AM WITHIN THE YEARS. MY CAR IS 8 YEARS OLD WITH 154,000 MILES. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR A YEAR AND MY CAR HAD ABOUT 137,000 MILES AT THE TIME I NOTICED IT WAS AN ISSUE. THE SUGGESTED I CALLED THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY, I CALLED THEM ON 6/15/2017 BUT I DID NOT GET ANY SATISFACTION. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT SINCE I AM OVER THE MILES. THEY SAY THIS IS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND NOT A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO MADE A COMMENT THAT I DO NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY I LOOKED AT MY RECORDS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TOYOTA TO BE SERVICE, RECALL ISSUES AND ANOTHER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT. I TOLD THEM TODAY 7/12/2017 THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT NUMEROUS TIMES BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING ISSUE. SHE SAID THAT I WOULD NEED TO TELL THEM I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM FIRST. SHE ALLEGED THAT I WAS SENT A LETTER BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED HER WHY I WAS SENT A LETTER BUT WHEN I HAVE ASKED TOYOTA IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS THEY DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING ISSUE. I AM PUTTING A QUART OF OIL IN MY CAR PER WEEK (500 MILES). THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I AM WAITING TO HERE BACK FROM A SUPERVISOR. THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA IS BEING SNEAKING AND DISHONEST ABOUT THE ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS INTERMITTENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEMS. ODOMETER DOES NOT INCREMENT MILES TRAVELED. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WILL CEASE TO INDICATE PROPER READINGS AND DROP TO ZERO. THE TACHOMETER WILL THEN BOUNCE BETWEEN ZERO AND WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS A CLOSE APPROXIMATION OF THE ACTUAL ENGINE RPM. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE "EPISODE".
