ENGINE
MY CAR IS CONSUMING LOT OF OIL, FOR EVERY 5000 MILES OIL CHANGE I NOTICED THAT THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DROP OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE, I HAD A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT LONGO TOYOTA DEALER IN JANUARY, THEY ASKED ME TO COME WHEN THE I DROVE THE MILES BETWEEN 1100-1300, I TOOK MY CAR AT 1128 MILES AND AFTER THE TEST THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND NO FURTHER TEST IS NEEDED, I SAID WHAT ARE YOU SAYING I SEE NOT A SINGLE DROP OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE, THEY ARE SAYING IN ORDER TO FAIL THE TEST 1 QT OF OIL SHOULD BE CONSUMED FOR EVERY 1200 MILES BUT MY CAR CONSUME 3/4 QT OF OIL HENCE TEST IS PASSED.... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WHY IS IT NORMAL TO CONSUME 3/4 QT OF OIL, THEY FAILED TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO OIL WHEN OIL CHANGE IS OCCURRED, AND NOW THE OTHER PROBLEM IS I CAN RETAKE THE TEST ONLY AFTER 6 MONTHS OR 5K MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT MY 10 YEAR WARRANTY IS EXPIRING IN SEPT, NOT SURE WHY TOYOTA PUT THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY THEY SHOULD COVER THE WARRANTY ATLEAST 15 YEARS... I AM SICK OF TOYOTA NEVER GOING TO PURCHASE ANY TOYOTA VEHICLES, THEY DONT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES ...

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
DURING AN ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 I RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG NOT INFLATING OR THE SEATBELT ENGAGING. I SPOKE WITH THE BODY SHOP AS TO WHY NEITHER SYSTEM WORKED AS DESIGNED, THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. THEY BELIEVED THAT THE SENSORS WERE COMPRESSED TO ENGAGE THE AIR BAGS BUT IT DID NOT ENGAGE. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES THE SEATBELTS SHOULD HAVE LOCKED WHICH WOULD HAVE KEPT ME STATIONARY INSTEAD OF ALLOW ME TO HIT THE DRIVER DOOR JAM ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. BOTH VEHICLES WERE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME MADE A LEFT TURN INTO MY FRONT LEFT QUARTER PANEL DAMAGING THE ENTIRE PANEL AND PART OF THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR.

AIR BAGS
FEBRUARY 22, 2017 7:15PM : I WAS ON MY WAY TO PICK MY 3 CHILDREN UP AT MY PARENTS. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT 50MPH WITH MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER FOLLOWING BEHIND ME. A DEER JUMPED ONTO THE ROAD AND I SWERVED THE VEHICLE TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER. I SWERVED 3 TIMES BEFORE HITTING A CULVERT. UPON HITTING THE CULVERT, MY VEHICLE FLIPPED AND ALSO ROLLED INTO THE DITCH. ALTHOUGH I WALKED AWAY WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A BRUISE ON MY LEG, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. TWO DAYS LATER, I WENT TO THE IMPOUND TO GET MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS OUT OF MY VEHICLE. I REALIZED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THERE IS PLENTY OF DAMAGE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS TO SUPPORT MY COMPLAINT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SUN VISOR: IN THE PAST 3/4 DAYS, I HAVE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE 2 PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR OF MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY: 1. IT WON'T STAY UP IN PLACE AND FALLS DOWN BLOCKING MY VISION- THIS IS A SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD 2. THE MIRROR LIGHT DOESN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. FROM THE ONLINE BLOGS I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR CAMRY MY2007-2011. I LOOKED UP MY VIN # AND IT DOESN'T FALL IN THE RANGE SPECIFIED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I ASKED TOYOTA IS THEY WILL COVER IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO AS THE VIN # DOESN'T FALL IN THEIR RANGE COVERED FOR WARRANTY EXTENSION. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD INCLUDE OTHER VIN# IN THE RANGE BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE FACING AND THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND NOT WARRANTY AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BELOW IS A LINK TO ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS: HTTP://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/ I URGE NTHJSA TO TAKE THIS UP WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE THEM FIX THIS DEFECT WITH ALL THE CARS. THANKS, PADMINI

VISIBILITY/WIPER
2011 CAMRY SUNVISOR BECAME LOOSE AND HUNG DOWN INTERFERING WITH MY VIEW. I TRIED DIFFERENT METHODS TO HOLD IT UP, BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. I REMOVED THE SUNVISOR SO IT WOULDN'T BLOCK MY VIEW, BUT SINCE AT SOME TIMES DURING THE YEAR I AM DRIVING INTO THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VIN'S. THE VIN LIST IS VERY LIMITED, AND DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE (ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM). TOYOTA HAS CALLED THIS A WARRANTY PROBLEM (POL12-03) AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ITEM.

ENGINE
I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD ISSUES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS. I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WHICH WAS LISTED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES. THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA OF WHICH I HAVE PUT ON OVER 1 MILLION MILES BETWEEN THESE VEHICLES. NOW WITH THIS 2007 WHICH NOW HAS 211,000 MI. I FIND I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MI. OR THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3000 MI. TOYOTA TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS GIVEN EXPIRED IN OCT. 2016. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2015 WITH 146,000 MI. ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LETTER WAS SENT OUT IN MAY, 2015 REGARDING THIS MATTER. THAT APPARENTLY WENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OR THE DEALERSHIP. NOW AFTER 4 TOYOTAS....1 MILLION MILES....THEY SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE! I DON'T AGREE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER AND JUST CREPT AT A VERY LOW RATE. STEPPING ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL DID NOT DO ANY GOOD. IF WE WERE IN TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND ARE WAITING FOR AN ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE SEEN ON TOYOTA NATION THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL OR AN ALERT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS SITUATION. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE IGNITION KEY PROBLEM WHERE THE ENGINE IS INADVERTENTLY SHUT-OFF. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED CLOSE TO OUR RESIDENCE. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. AT THE TOYOTA DEALER, WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" CONDITION AND WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR IF TOYOTA CAN NOT ASSESS AND FIX THIS UNSAFE CONDITION.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER DRIVING THE 2015 CAMRY LE FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR, I NOTICED A MOLDY SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C VENTS UPON START UP. I GOOGLED AND FOUND OUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED IN 2015 IN CA FOR DEFECTIVE HVAC SYSTEM IN 2012 CAMRYS BECAUSE OF MOLD AND SMELLY ODORS COMING OUT OF A/C VENTS. IT APPEARS TOYOTA IS STILL MANUFACTURING CAMRYS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE HVAC PART. I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE MOLD OUT AND PURCHASED THE CHARCOAL AIR CABIN FILTERS. I AM KEEPING RECORDS OF EACH TIME I HAVE THE A/C SERVICE AND FILTERS REPLACED. I HAVE HAD ALLERGY TESTS PERFORMED AND I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD AND MILDEW. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A/C IN CARS EVER AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING 40 YEARS. REGARDING THE SEATS, THEY ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I DRIVE 3 TO 4 HOURS A DAY FOR WORK MON-FRI AND I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE SPECIAL GEL CUSHIONS (COSTING $135) TO MAKE THE SEAT TOLERABLE. I HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAMRY AND LEXUS OWNERS OF THE UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES. I PURCHASED THE 2015 CAMRY 9/28/15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN DECEMBER 2016 MY SISTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK. SHE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND PUMPED THE BREAK AND IT STOPPED, THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHE DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. LAST WEEK MY FATHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A STRETCH OF OPEN HIGHWAY AND PUMPED THE BREAKS AND ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FILED A REPORT WITH TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND RECOMMENDED GIVING THE CAR BACK TO MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER AS IS. DAD SPENT AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 DOLLARS TO TRADE IT IN. TOYOTA TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT EVEN OFFER A BREAK ON A TRADE IN. CONCERNED THE CAR WILL GO TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY AS MY DAD ( DRIVING STRAIGHT ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY)
