THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. LEARNED THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON THE VEHICLE BUT TOYOTA SAYS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ENDED AS OH MAY 31, 2017. CAR WAS PURCHASE ON 2/8/08 WITHIN THE GEN YEAR MARK AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED VEHICLE. DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OR CALL ABOUT THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A MANDATE BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY AND I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WAS DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING IT UP FOR ME BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASED IT. OVER TIME I NOTICED THAT THE SHINE STARTED TO BECOME AN ISSUE WITH ME WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOT AND SUNNY TIME FRAME OF THE DAY. SO ONE DAY I DECIDED TO TAKE MY HAND AND JUST RUB THE DASH TO SEE IF IT'LL TAKE SOME OF THE SHINE AWAY AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED IT MY HAND GOT STUCK AND BURNT FROM THE HEAT OF THE "STICKY DASHBOARD" SO WHEN I GOT HOME I DECIDED TO TRY AND CLEAN IT WITH SOME SOAP AND WATER TO SEE IF IT'LL REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORK. MY COUSIN HAS THE SAME CAR AND I CALLED HER TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO AND MUCH TO HER AMAZEMENT SHE DISCLOSED WITH ME THAT SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER 2007 CAMRY AS WELL. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A GUY WHO DETAILS CARS AND NOT ONLY DID HE STATE THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE 2007 CAMRY'S BUT HE HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR IN OTHER STATES BECAUSE HE WAS FROM NY AND ALSO LIVED IN GEORGIA AND DETAILED CARS IN THOSE STATES AS WELL. THIS HAS BECOME A NUISANCE NOW BECAUSE IT IS BLINDING ME AS I DRIVE UNLESS I PUT A CLOTH OVER MY DASH AND THEN I HAVE TROUBLE REMOVING IT BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY GLUED DOWN TO IT AFTER THE FACT. MY DAUGHTER UNBEKNOWNST TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS HOT DECIDED TO REACH UP AND WIPE IT SO THE GLARE WOULD GO AWAY AS WELL AND SHE BURNT HER HAND TOO. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AS THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT ON THESE CARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
YOU HAD AN INVESTATION INTO POWER BREAKING CONCERNS, I HAD THIS ISSUE HTTPS://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/CAR-NEWS/FEDS-CLOSE-PROBE-INTO-2007-11-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRID-FOR-POWER-BRAKING-CONCERNS.HTML OCCUR WHILE ON THE ROAD TRAVELING AT SPEED. LUCKILY FOR ME THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AND NO ONE WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THE ALARMS WENT OFF I HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTIONALITY INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE UNTIL MY SPEED WAS DOWN BELOW 20MPH. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROVIDED BY TOYOTA TO COVER THE ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT AS TOYOTAS ARE RELIABLE AND RUN FOR FAR LONGER THAN THE WARRANTY COVERED, MAKING THE VEHICLES COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR PURCHASE AS A USED CAR. THE ALARMS ON THE VEHICLE CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE ALARMS HAD OCCURRED THE FIRST WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING SO I DIDN'T REALIZE MY BRAKES WERE AFFECTED, AT THAT TIME THE COMPUTER DID NOT EVEN REGISTER AN ALARM CODE SO TOYOTA DID NOTHING CALLING IT A GLITCH WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, EVEN THOUGH IT'S APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE "SMART KEY" IGNITION SYSTEM SOMETIMES FAILS TO WORK, AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE SAY THE WAY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE IS TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE SYSTEM THEN REBOOTS AND USUALLY WORKS OK THEREAFTER -- USUALLY. TODAY THE CAR WAS PARKED, SHE ENTERED, AND THE KEY FOB FAILED TO WORK. SHE HAD TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVER'S DOOR 4 TIMES BEFORE IT DID WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN SHE IS FREQUENTLY THE LAST PERSON OUT OF THE LOT AT WORK, AND SHE MUST OPEN AND CLOSE HER DOOR BEFORE THE CAR WILL START AND THE PHONE BLUE-TOOTH WILL WORK. THE DEALER PLEADS IGNORANCE EVEN THOUGH HIS SERVICE PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS. CAR IS PARKED IN MODERN GARAGE OR OUTDOORS.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE WE PURCHASES THIS CAR IN 2014, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS WE HAD OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. WHICH IS NOT TRUE. ALL TIMES THE AUTO WAS IN MOTION AND WE STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. 2ND. THE DRIVER SIDE RIGHTS ROUGH, AND WHEN A POT HOLE IS HIT WITH THE LEFT WHEEL IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. WHEN GOING INTO A RIGHT TURN 65-75 MPH THE AUTO FEELS LIKE IT IS SKIPPING OFF THE ROAD, TO A POINT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. WE HAVE RECORDS FROM TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, GOING BACK TO OCT. 2014. WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU CAN DO. [XXX], [XXX], E-MAIL [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY VISORS IN MY CAR KEEP COMING DOWN AND HINDERING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE WITH DIFFICULTIES. I HAVE FIXED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO POP IN AND SOLVE THIS ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS IN HOUSTON AND THE VISORS JUST FALLS. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN FALL OF THE VISOR I JUMPED THE CURB AND POPPED A TIRE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MY TIME AND MONEY ON SOMETHING I ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY ON. DONT USE CRAPPY PARTS AND YOU WON'T GET CRAPPY RESULTS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WANT REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNLESS USING 1 QTR PER 1000 MILES. IF A CAR WAS USING THAT MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THERE WOULD BE NO OIL FOR IT TO RUN ON. IF THE OIL IS DEPLETED FROM THE MOTOR ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOCKS UP, ACCIDENTS WILL BE CAUSED. MY CAR IS USING SEVERAL QTRS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND FAILED WHILE ON A OVER NIGHT TRIP LEAVING PASSENGERS STRANDED IN THE DARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY MINUTES BEFORE, NOT ALLOWING FOR ADEQUATE TIME TO INTERVENE. WE WERE UNAWARE AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINES PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL. THE GARAGE MECHANICS WERE EXPECTING TO FIND AN OIL LEAK AS THE PROBLEM FOR THE ENGINE BURNING UP AND WERE SURPRISED TO FIND NO LEAK. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 8 MONTHS AGO, PRE-OWNED WITH 72,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED IT HAD 89,000 MILES ON IT AND $9000 LEFT ON THE LOAN. RELUCTANT TO PAY THOUSANDS TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED SINCE THE ENGINE IS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM.

ENGINE OIL BURNING OFF WAY TO FAST. I HAVE TO ADD 1 QT EVERY 1,200 - 1,500 MILES. I TOOK MY CAT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND PASSED. BUT I DID NOTICE THAT THEY USE 5-20 OIL. WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHY IT PASSED. BECAUSE I USE 0-20 OIL, JUST LIKE MY OWNERS MANUAL SAYS. SO I'M NOT SURE.

MY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENT. WHEN THE TWO LIGHTS COME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR/ABS MODULE IS GOING OUT. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF CARS THAT PEOPLE LOST THERE LIVES DUE TO BRAKE ISSUE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE
KNOWN ISSUE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHERE THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT COMES ON JUST INTO 1,000 MILES AFTER CHANGING OIL. THE LOCAL DEALER AT IRA TOYOTA OF TEWKSBURY, MA.01876 - TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK OR WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE SINCE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA US AT 1-800-331-4331 THEY OPENED A CASE#1701232302 FOR MY ISSUE BUT NOW SAY THAT THE LOCAL TOYOTA AND EVEN REGIONAL STORES CANNOT TAKE MY CAR BACK TO FIX IT AGAIN THE LOCAL STORE SAYS THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE I CAME BACK AFTER 14,379 MILES I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS ALREADY STOPPED ON ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET - WITH THE STEERING WHEELING BLOCKING SUDDENLY AND FOR ME HAVING TO VEER QUICKLY ON THE CURB WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO CONTROL. I CAN HEAR A SQUEELING NOISE WHEN I CHANGE GEARS ( MANUAL CAR) AND WHEN I PUT THE FOOT ON THE CLUTCH. THE CAR SHAKES A LOT WHEN I CHANGE GEARS AND I AM ABOUT TO STOP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND OF COURSE LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES BECAUSE I CANNOT USE THIS CAR FOR MANY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING MY FAMILY OR JUST ANYWHERE PAST 10 MILES OF MY HOUSE. I AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA, AN ISSUE THAT THEY DID NOT FIX PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NOW THEY ARE JUST HOPING THAT I CAN GO AWAY BY DENYING ME MY RIGHTS TO PROPER SERVICE. I TOLD TOYOTA US THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE HOW A KNOWN ISSUE CAN BE FIXED AND JUST WITHIN 1 YEAR IT COMES BACK.
