THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IS MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLOSSINESS FROM THE DASHBOARD MELTING IMPAIRS MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE GLARE IT GIVES FROM THE SUN REFLECTING. I AM SCARED OF MY SAFETY AS I LIVE ON A TROPICAL/HOT ISLAND LOCATION.

TAKATA RECALL THE SUNVISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND WON'T STAY UP. WE HAVE HAD TO REMOVE BOTH SUN VISORS AS THEY HANG DOWN AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICE D WHILE DRIVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT DRIVER;'S VISOR DOWN IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. EVENTUALLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS TRAVELING ON I75 NORTH OF ATLANTA, I NEEDED TO SLOW FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK. SEVERAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON INCLUDING THE CHECK HYBRID ENGINE, THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM, AND THE ABS LIGHTS. THE POWER BRAKES WERE OFF AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP. THEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY REQUIRING ME TO MANEUVER OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, BUT WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL VEHICLES AS I GOT TO THE SHOULDER.

MY CAR LOSES OIL AT THE RATE OF A QUART AND A HALF EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR AN OBVIOUS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, BUT CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL AT THIS RATE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THREE MECHANICS NOW THAT THIS IS COMMON IN CAMRYS. IF IT IS SO COMMON, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I INITIALLY HAD AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION, BUT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE. LATER I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THEN SWITCHED TO DRIVE IN ATTEMPT TO GO FORWARD. THE CAR ACCELERATED W/O MY TOUCHING THE GAS. I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR AND IT PLOWED INTO SEVERAL OTHER CARS. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAD HAPPENED. THE POLICE CAME AND ASSUMED IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE AFTER HAVING THIS HAPPEN, I WAS CONFUSED. THEY TOOK THE CAR TO A BODY SHOP THAT DID THE REPAIRS. NO ONE MENTIONED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM W/TOYOTAS. BY THE TIME I HEARD ABOUT SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (SUA), I CONTACTED TOYOTA. AS THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD ALREADY ARRANGED TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED BEFORE I CALLED, THE INVESTIGATOR SAID THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR AS IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THEN I HAD A 3RD INCIDENT WHERE I'D COME TO A STOP, BUT THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. INITIAL DATE ESTIMATE WAS A GUESSTIMATE FOR MID-OCTOBER ACCELERATION. 11.21.16 WAS THE ACCIDENT, WHICH RESULTED IN OVER $7,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND MORE WAS PAID TOWARDS THE CARS I HIT. THE MOST RECENT ACCELERATION WAS JANUARY 16, 2017. TO DATE TOYOTA HAS ON REATTACHED THE CARPETS, SO I AM CONCERNED THIS CAR IS STILL A RISK TO MY LIFE & THAT OF OTHERS.

MY CARMY HAS HAD THE STICKY DASH PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR AND I FINALLY DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT IT, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY PROGRAM THAT EXPIRED A MONTH GO, 31 MAY 2017. I CALLED THEM UP AND THEY PROMPTLY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY DASH. THERE ARE STILL MANY CARS OUT THERE THAT WERE NOT FIXED ADN THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE DISTRACTING GLARE DURING HIGH HEAT. CAN ANYBODY SUGGEST A COURSE OF ACTION? MAYBE POTENTIALLY SUING THEM TO GET THEM TO REPAIR MORE CARS?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HAD TO REPLACE MY O2 SENSOR AT MY OWN COST OF $430 DUE TO A RODENT CHEWING IT. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN AND THIS WAS WHY I GOT IT CHECKED. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALER SAID RODENTS LOVE THE INSULATION ON THE WIRING IN THESE CARS. I FEEL THAT SOY BASED WIRING IS WHY THIS HAPPENED AND WAS NOT MY FAULT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR IS PARKED WHERE 3 OTHER OLDER VEHICLES ALSO PARK AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE. ONLY MY CAR WAS AFFECTED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT THEIR EXPENSE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN OUR CAR WAS IN MOTION, WE EXPERIENCED VERY LOUD AUDIBLE GRUNT ALONG WITH VERY POOR BREAKING. EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION ESPECIALLY SINCE IT STARTED SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT. THE WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AND LUCKILY WE WERE NOT YET ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WE MADE IT HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. WE DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT WITH THE MECHANIC AND THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. WE HAD TO HAVE THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS PUMP/MODULE ASSEMBLY) REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,263. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHER ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED TO CONSUMERS AND IT SEEMS THAT ANYTHING THAT RESULTS IN TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE SHOULD WARRANTY A RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO CONSIDER THIS SITUATION AND IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
