ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY WITH 125,000 MILES. IT IS IMPECCABLY CARED FOR, IT HAS NEW FRONT AND BACK BRAKES, NEW ROTORS, NEW BATTERY AND NEW TIRES. THE PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO IN APRIL 2017. WHILE DRIVING MODEST SPEEDS ON REGULAR ROADS, THE BREAK AND ABS WARMING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND GOES TO 0, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO RELATION TO SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, I LIVE IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE HAD TO USE THE ABS SYSTEM FOR ANY BREAKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THIS IS AN ABS BRAKE CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $2500 TO FIX. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE!!! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. MY PRIOR CAMRY LASTED FOR 14 YEARS AND 200,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA TRULY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT LEAST TELL ALL FUTURE CAMRY BUYERS TO BE PREPARED FOR A $2500 - $5000 EXPENSE IN THE FUTURE. IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT!! *JS

WHEN I DID THE MECHANIC'S STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AND FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THEY HAVE TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG AND NOW EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT IS WRONG. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I SPOKE TO AM ANGER THE SAME THINS I STATED WAS WRONG WITH IT IS NOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE ABS ACUATOR...

MY SON WAS TURNING A CORNER AND HIS CAMRY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL CAUSING HIM TO GO OVER A MEDIAN, DAMAGING THE CAR. THE ACCIDENT WAS ON 2/18/17. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA THAT SAME DAY. TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED ON MONDAY 2/20/17. AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT SHOWS THE ACCELERATION. THIS REPORT WAS RECEIVED 3/24/17. TODAY IS 5/3/17 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA AS TO THE INVESTIGATION OR SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARENT CORPORATION TELLS THEM IT IS OK. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND. EVERY TIME I CALL THEY SAY IT WILL BE ANOTHER 30 DAYS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A CALL OR YOU WILL RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THE MAIL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE DON'T WANT TO GET ATTORNEY'S INVOLVED BUT WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH AN ATTORNEY BUT WOULD PREFER FOR TOYOTA TO JUST DO THE RIGHT THING. CAN YOU ASSIST?

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND HAS TAKEN ON A VERY STICKY AND SHINY APPEARANCE. EVERY LITTLE THING STICKS TO THE DASH AND IT CAN'T BE CLEANED. NOT ONLY CAN'T IT BE CLEANED, IT ALSO CREATES A LARGE DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REPAIR THIS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER, WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS VEHICLE - THE EVAPORATION VAPOR CANISTER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS PIECE WAS PART OF A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA LOST. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR A PART SO THAT IT PASSES INSPECTION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TOYOTA KNEW THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND A LOUD NOISE WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ACROSS THE STREET AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED A VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. PRIOR TO THE COLLISION, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AFTER THE CRASH AND SENT AN INSPECTOR. THE INSPECTOR STATED THAT THERE WAS NO CLAIM SINCE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED DURING THE COLLISION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

SUSPENSION
I WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG COME FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR ON THE LEFT FRONT. AS I DROVE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC I HEARD A CLANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE SPRING AROUND THE STRUT HAD BROKEN. I HAD THE SPRING STRUT REPLACED AT A COST OF $350. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR HAS 64,000 MILES WITH ALL WORK PERFORMED AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, EXCEPT MY LAST SET OF MICHELIN TIRES.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I HAVE DONE THE WHOLE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE CAR HAD HARDLY BURNED OFF ANY OIL AFTER THE 1,200 MILES OF DRIVING. YET WHEN I DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 2,300 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. SO I HAVE BEEN CARRYING EXTRA QUARTS OF OIL WITH MY WHENEVER THE LIGHT COMES ON. TOYOTA SAID THAT I COULD HAVE IT TESTED AGAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS AND THIS WOULD BE THE LAST ONE THEY WOULD PERFORM. THERE IS NEVER LEAKING OIL ANYWHERE OUT SIDE OF THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED. TOYOTA CLEARLY KNOWS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE SINCE THEY HAVE POSTED AT TSB. JUST FIX MY CAR!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T RESPOND TO REMOTE, OR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL. THE TWO REAR DOORS DO NOT ALLOW THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THESE DOORS ONLY UNLOCK BY USING THE ROCKER BUTTONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS AS THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. MY TOYOTA DEALER ADVISES THAT HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ACTIVATORS IN EACH DOOR AT COST OF $600, BUT WOUND NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD REMEDIATE THE LOCK PROBLEMS.
