TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE FROM POTHOLES! I HAVE 225 45 18 TIRES ON MY 2012 CAMRY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE I'VE HAD THE SIDEWALL FAIL THE EXACT SAME WAY SINCE BUYING THEM 2 YEARS AGO. THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT MAYBE 20 MPH. EVERY TIME THERE IS A 3 TO 4 INCH CUT ALONG THE BEAD OF THE TIRE THROUGH THE CORDS. I WORK FOR FIRESTONE AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PATTERN MANY TIMES ON VARIOUS CAR, NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO SIZE. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR REAL WORLD USE

ENGINE
MY CAR ENGINE IS BURNING IS BURNING OIL MORE THAN USUAL IT BURNS ABOUT 3,75 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES I WENT TO OURISMAN TOYOTA DEALER IN FAIRFAX, VA AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT . THIS IS A FRAUD BECAUSE IN TOYOTA MANUAL IT SAYS THAT THE CAR TAKES 4,5 QUARTS ONLY BUT NOW BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL I HAVE TO BUY MORE OIL (3,75 QUARTS PER 5000 MILES IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT)AND ADD IT TO MY ENGINE IN ORDER TO AVOID BLOWING UP MY ENGINE

ENGINE
SMELL BURNING OF OIL INSIDE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET. I CHECKED OIL DIPSTICK AND NO TRACE OF OIL, MEANING OIL EXTREMELY LOW. I HAVE DRIVEN CAR ABOUT 2800 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES PER TOYOTA OWNER MANUAL. MY ODOMETER READING IS 76488 MILES. TOYOTA DEALER CHECK CAR LAST YEAR FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SAID CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING OIL CONSUMPTION MYSELF . I FOUND THAT MIDWAY BETWEEN OIL CHANGE( I.E. 2500 MILES) , I HAVE TO ADD 2QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING LEVEL TO NORMAL. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DOWN UN EXPECTANTLY AND BECAME A DRIVING HAZARD, IT HAD TO BE REMOVED THUS MAKING DRIVING MORE UN SAFE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A IMPROVED SUN VISOR FROM THE DEALER WHICH TOYOTA HAD CORRECTED THE FAULTY SUN VISOR THERE FORE WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, TOYOTA ALSO STARTED A SHORT TERM VOLUNTARY RECALL HOWEVER IT SEEMED TO BE AT THERE DISCRETION WHO RECEIVED THE REPAIR AND WHO DID NOT, WHAT FACTORS THEY USED TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN CUSTOMERS I DO NOT KNOW. IT IS MY HABIT TO ASK THE DEALER EVERY TIME I GO THERE FOR SERVICE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS OR ADVISORIES OPEN ON MY 07 CAMRY, THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID NO! SO APPARENTLY THEY LIED TO ME ON THIS ISSUE ANY WAY, AND I HAD NO OTHER WAY TO FIND OUT SINCE THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE IT TO THE PUBLIC. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET GOING AROUND A TURN WHEN IT CAME DOWN AND TEMPORARY BLINDED ME. IF A PEDESTRIAN HAD HOPED OUT TO CROSS THE STREET, I WOULD OF STRUCT THAT PERSON!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I PURCHASED A USED 2009 CAMRY BASE MODEL FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SHE NOTIFIED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE VISOR. IT HANGS DOWN OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW EVEN WHEN SNAPPED INTO PLACE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO BE FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON ALMOST EVERY 2009 CAMRY AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT, ONLY REPLACE IT AT MY OWN COST. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AT APPROX. 7:37 PM I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT IN MOTION. BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION I NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I THEN CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION AND BOTH LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AT APPROX. 7:45 PM I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH. AT ABOUT 7:47 PM ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 60 MPH TO SPEEDS OF APPROX. 40-45 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT IS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT STILL THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TAKING NOTICE OF MY IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, SO I USED MY LEFT FOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE POSITION AND IT REMAINED IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I PANICKED AT THAT MOMENT AND I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DITCH CAUSING PERSONAL MINOR HEAD INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY FRONT PASSENGER. THE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FRONT AND REAR FENDER WERE PROVED OBVIOUS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM WERE FILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS LATER DRIVEN TO MY HOUSE AND REMAINS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL INVESTIGATED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

ENGINE
MY 2010, 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY IS USING EXTREME AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT HAS BEEN TESTED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN 5/2016 AND I WAS TOLD IT QUALIFIED FOR TOYOTA'S REPAIR UNDER ENHANCED WARRANTY. CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009. CALLED 1/18/17 THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN TO MY NAME ON THEIR VERY LONG LIST AND TO BRING IT IN. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR TO REPAIR IT, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIRS-EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL CORPORATE TOYOTA TO SEE IF IT COULD BE INCLUDED. THEY SAID NO AND THAT I NEED ANOTHER OILED CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE LAST ONE IS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. BASICALLY, JUST TOLD THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION (APPROX 1 QT/250 MILES). *TR
