VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTONATION TOYOTA DEALER IN HAYWARD CA, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ADJUSTING SINCE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SAME REASON WAS GIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,330.

WE ARE VERY FAITHFUL ABOUT GETTING OUT CAR'S OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. GOOD THING! WHEN WE RECEIVED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION THAT OUR CAR WAS COVERED FOR EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, WE STARTED WATCHING OUR OIL CONSUMPTION CLOSELY. WE WERE DEFINITELY GOING THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN MARCH 2016 AND WERE TOLD OUR CAR DIDN'T CONSUME ENOUGH OIL TO QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. WE KEPT AN EYE ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND TOOK IT BACK FOR ANOTHER TEST IN OCTOBER 2016--CONVINCED IT WOULD QUALIFY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE CAR AGAIN DID NOT QUALIFY. WE WERE FRUSTRATED BUT HAD LITTLE RECOURSE ON 10/24/16 WITH THE WARRANTY EXPIRING ON 10/31/16. OUR CAR IS NOW GOING THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 400-500 MILES. NO KIDDING. WE RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER EACH TIME WE ADD OIL AND ARE FAITHFUL ABOUT CHECKING IT ONCE IT GETS IN THAT 400-500 MILE RANGE. AT OUR MECHANIC'S SUGGESTION (HE ONLY WORKS ON TOYOTA'S BUT ISN'T AT A DEALERSHIP), WE CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS EARLIER THIS YEAR. (OUR MECHANIC HAS HIS OWN REASONS FOR NOT BEING IMPRESSED WITH THE DEALERSHIP WE HAD TAKEN OUR CAR TO FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING.) MY HUSBAND WAS PUT ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR AND THEN WAS DISCONNECTED. WE HAVEN'T TRIED PHONING TOYOTA AGAIN. WE HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL TOYOTA FANS AND OWNERS FOR DECADES BUT, AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S POOR HANDLING OF THIS PROBLEM, WE WILL LIKELY NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA. IS THIS A SAFETY CONCERN? ABSOLUTELY! IT'S ALSO AN BUSINESS ETHICS CONCERN. WILL OUR OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS RAPIDLY AS IT HAS IN THESE LAST 7-8 MONTHS. I HOPE NOT. WE'RE ALREADY ADDING A QUART OF OIL NEARLY EVERY WEEK. UNCONSCIONABLE!

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
6/6/17, 7PM, ON STARTING CAR; IN MALL PARKING LOT, BOTH THE BRAKE AND POWER STEERING ALERT WARNING LIGHTS/MSGS TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. TURNED ENGINE OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES; ALERTS STILL ON. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND VERIFIED PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGED. DROVE HOME, AND GARAGED CAR. STARTED/STOPPED ENGINE MANY TIMES, TILL LATE AT NIGHT, BUT ALERTS STAYED LIT. I FLIPPED THROUGH ALL THE ALERT MESSAGES, WHICH SHOWED 2 ALERTS, 1)BRAKE ALERT AND 2)POWER STEERING ALERT. BOTH ALERTS WERE PRESENT NEXT MORNING. PER OWNER BOOKLET, DEALER WANTED CAR TOWED IN. PREPARED FOR FRONT WHEEL TOW, BY DRIVING FROM GARAGE TO STREET BY TURNING CAR TO FACE STREET AND DRIVING BACK TO DRIVEWAY. AFTER PARKING CAR, BOTH THE ALERT LIGHTS TURNED OFF. MENTIONED THIS TO DEALER. ASKED IF I STILL WANTED TO BRING CAR IN, I SAID YES, I WANTED IT INVESTIGATED. 6/8/17 DEALER RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND HISTORY CODE C1441. REPORTED AS "ABS PERFORMANCE DECLINE AND BRAKE FUNCTION". THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY "BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED WHILE MOVE WITH ENGINE OFF, OR PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDALS, CONCURRENTLY'. I KNOW NEITHER OF THESE TWO HAPPENED. DEALER ROAD TESTED CAR, FOUND NO RECURRENCES OF THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED CAR. BACK HOME, FOUND THAT THE 2015 CAMRY ,WITH CODE C1441, HAD A RECALL OF THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER ASSEMBLY (TSB-0010-15). SINCE THE 2016 CAMRY IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR AS THE 2015 CAMRY, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT APPLY TO THE 2016 MODEL. ABS MALFUNCTION, WITH CODE C1441 IS STILL BEING TRIGGERED, ON THE 2016 CAMRY, WITH THE 2AR... ENGINE. FOR THE 2016 CAMRY, FOUND BRAKE RELATED PROBLEMS STILL BEING REPORTED, SOME WITH SEVERE ACCIDENTS, POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE ABS OR COMPUTER . SEE NHTSA ID 10991889, 10966112, 10934015, 10915061, 10903212, 10883921, AND 10873023 AS EXAMPLES. HOPE TOYOTA GETS A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY DEFECT, BEFORE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

CPSC:THE HOOD OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY LE YEAR 2017 MODEL IS RAISED TOO HIGH IN RELATION TO THE DASH. IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO PEOPLE WHOSE HEIGHT IS 5 FEET 3 INCHES OR LESS. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THAT DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH LIMITED VIEW OF THE CAR SIDES OVER THE HOOD CAUSES ANXIETY ABOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I LOWERED MY VISOR TO LOOK IN MY MIRROR, ONCE I WAS DONE I TRIED TO RETURN MY VISOR TO ITS UP RIGHT POSITION AND IT WOULD NOT STAY. NOTHING LOOKS BROKEN BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG IF IT WONT STAY UP AND NOW IT IS IN MY LINE OF VISION FOR DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS, IT BLOCKS MY LINE OF SIGHT, I CANNOT EVEN PUSH IT UP AGAINST THE WINDOW(YOU KNOW LIKE YOU DO WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUT) FOR IT DOESN'T STAY AND FALLS BACK DOWN BLOCKING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD.

AIR BAGS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ON TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 2017 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. AT THAT MOMENT I WASN'T SURE WHETHER THE SOUND HAD COME FROM MY VEHICLE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S, SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED TO MY HOUSE I PROCEEDED TO CHECK MY VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE THAT SAID NOISE HADN'T COME FROM MY CAR. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS ELEVATED AND THE AIRBAG WAS VISIBLE. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT MULTIPLE TOYOTA VEHICLES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING MODELS, 2003-2008 COROLLA, 2003-2008 MATRIX, 2003-2006 TUNDRA, AND 2002-2007 SEQUOIA HAVE HAD IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION FOUND ON TOYOTA.COM, THE REASON THESE AIRBAGS WERE UNSAFELY ERUPTING WAS DUE TO "HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY". ODDLY ENOUGH THE DAY THAT THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED IT WAS UNUSUALLY HUMID OUT; I REMEMBER TURNING MY AIR CONDITIONER ON BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT OUTSIDE. NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT MY CAR IS NOT AMONG THE ONES THAT I PREVIOUSLY LISTED BUT THE FACT THAT THE SAME THING THAT OCCURRED TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VEHICLES HAPPENED TO MINE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED. IT IS ALARMING TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THAT AIRBAG WOULD HAVE ERUPTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY, WHAT IF THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE CAR WITH ME?.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 4 CYL FOR THE BULLETIN IT HAS OF OIL CONSUPTION AND IT PASS THE TEST TWICE, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BUT AS THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR SOME MONTHS STILL HAD TO ADD EVERY 1,000 MILES 1 Q OF OIL. KEPT DOING THIS UNTIL MY ENGINE BLEW. NOW IRS MY FAULT AND THEY DONT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TOTAL UNJUSTICE FROM TOYOTA.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND STARTED TO CHANGE LANES AND SPEED UP TO THE 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON THE 4 LANE CITY HIGHWAY. AS I SPED UP THE CAR FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS LASTED ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN SPED UP NORMALLY. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN 50 MILES AT 70 MPH SPEEDS AND HAD SPENT 2 HOURS HAVING LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. CAR WAS PARKED IN 80 DEGREE SUN DURING THE MEAL. THIS "STUMBLE"HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND ONE COMPLAINT FORM COMPLETED (# 10896696).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ACCELERATION HESITATION, NUMEROUS INSTANCES. ADVANCING FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEED, THE CAMRY HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FOR 2-10 SECONDS. ON JUNE 2, 2017 I HAD DRIVEN 5 BLOCKS, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN ADVANCED TO ENTER 35-40 MPH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE CAR ACHIEVED ABOUT 8 MPH, THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR OVER 5 SECONDS WHILE TRAFFIC IS COMING AT ME. VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE A DEALER APPOINTMENT ON 06JUNE2017 TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT AGAIN. THEY HAVE TRIED DIAGNOSING THIS TWO PREVIOUS TIMES AND COULD FIND NOTHING. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION 'LEARNS' FROM THE DRIVER, SO THEY ERASED THE LEARNING TO START AFRESH. THIS DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. THE HESITATION IS INFREQUENT, BUT VERY DANGEROUS. NO REGULAR PATTERN TO IT. CAN OCCUR WHEN STARTING A DRIVE, OR WHEN THOROUGHLY WARMED UP.
