ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH BACK PASSENGER WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE TO PRESS THE BUTTON AT LEAST THREE TIMES BEFORE IT ROLLS UP. ALSO MY CAR CONSUMES OIL. THE BLACK,TOP OF MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND HAS CRACKS. I HAVE BEEN TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERS AND NO ONE HAS ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES. HOW DO I GET REMEDY BEFORE CONTACTING LEGAL COUNCIL?

ENGINE
ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT. DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR HESITATES AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATES. THIS IN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT 34,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS. NO SCREWS TO TIGHTEN TO STOP VISOR FROM FALLING DOWN. DANGEROUS. FINALLY AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING TO KEEP VISOR UP I HAD TO HOT GLUE THE VISOR TO TOP OF CAR; NOW I CANNOT USE VISOR QUICKLY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. MIGHT NEED TO NOTE THAT RARELY WAS VISOR EVER USED.

ENGINE
MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS PART OF THE ZE7- WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE PRIMARY COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE WAS GOOD UNTIL OCTOBER 31, 2016 AND SECONDARY COVER UNTIL 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). MY CAR DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER AND WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 149,500 MILES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE #1611293174) AND WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNDER 150,000 WHEN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS INITIATED IT STILL MET THE SERVICE GUIDELINES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INITIATE THE TEST WITH THE CAR STILL UNDER 150,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED TOYOTA AND TOYOTA ADVISED THAT SINCE THE CAR WOULD BE OVER 150,000 MILE WHEN THE CAR FINISHED THE TEST IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AGAIN REFERENCING MY CASE NUMBER AND THEY VERIFIED WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP BUT NOW WERE TELLING ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE BY TOYOTA AND THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO GET AROUND REPAIRING A DEFECTIVE PART. NOW I HAVE TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CAR HAS DIMINISHED VALUE DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE TO EITHER COVER THE REPAIR COST OR DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES CONSTANTLY CHECKING MY OIL TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T RUN OUT AND COMPLETELY KILL THE ENGINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

WEIRD SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ACTIVATED. THE SMELL INDICATES MOLD BUILDUP WITHIN THE VENTS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS THAT MENTION THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (SOME PEOPLE ARE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD) AND MAY CAUSE DRIVER IMPAIRMENT AS A RESULT. VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA OFFERED SERVICES TO REPLACE THE VENTING SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAY. I AM LUCKY THAT IT'S ONLY WHEN I HAVE CIRCULATION ON WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WITH HEATING THE INTERIOR AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEARS (2012-2014) OF CAMRYS. THIS SMELL OCCURS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO GO AWAY WHEN NOT IN CIRCULATION MODE ON THE CLIMATE CONTROLS.

STEERING
I WAS TAKING MY FATHER TO THE DOCTOR IN A TOWN 2 HOURS AWAY. I STOPPED TO PICK HIM UP (CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND I WENT INSIDE TO GET HIM) AND WHEN WE GOT INTO THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE "KEY INDICATOR" LIGHT WAS ON. I CHECKED THE NISSAN MANUAL WHICH INFORMED ME THE CAR WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. I HAD MY CAR TOWED THE NEXT DAY AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL NISSAN MECHANIC. I ALSO DID RESEARCH REGARDING THE ICON LIGHT AND FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF 2009 NISSANS HAD EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC CALLED WITH THE NEWS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK NEEDED REPLACING AT A CHARGE OF 910.00. THIS IS CERTAINLY AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO CONSIDER AS A RECALL. OUR MECHANIC HAD 2 MORE CALLS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER WE BROUGHT OUR CAR IN LAST WEEK. I HOPE NISSAN WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY AND REIMBURSE ALL THOSE WHO HAVE REPLACED THIS PART.

CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL IN TWO-THREE MONTHS PERIOD. I GOT LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON AND OFF WHEN I HIT THE BREAK HARD, THEN ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS ON AND OFF. I WENT TO NEAREST AUTO STORE AND CHECKED ENGINE OIL. IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, I MEAN DRY. I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT SINCE TOYOTA DEALER CHECKED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND MY CAR PASSED THE TEST A FEW MONTH AGO. I WAS TOLD THE AUTO SHOP WORKER THAT I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO BURN UP THE ENGINE. I CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE ON 2009 CAMRY. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS WELL. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY TOYOTA.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SEEN THAT SOMEONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS BRAKING WHEN THEY PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAMRY AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS TRYING TO FIX THERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. SO, I HAD A PROBLEM HAVING MY LEFT FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. I JUST STOPPED TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. TRY EXCELLERATING THEN TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY WHILE STILL EXCELLERATING AND SEE IF THIS SLOWS THE CAR FROM EXCELLERATING. THAT MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
