EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE QUALITY OF LOW BEAM LIGHTS FOR NIGHT DRIVING IS INSUFFICIENT FOR DRIVING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN BAYTOWN TX AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS OF CLEANING THE LENSES AND REPLACING THE BULBS HAS HAD NO EFFECT. HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS IN 2008 AND EVERY TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE, ETC. MAINTENANCE. I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS INCONVENIENT TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS. FOR COURTESY SAKE MY SPOUSE REFUSES TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS ON THE NUMEROUS FARM MARKET ROADS WE DRIVE AT NIGHT BUT I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHERE THE BLACK HORSE OR COW OR GOD FORBID A PERSON WILL EMERGE. MY SPOUSE AND SONS ALL AGREE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME.I WOULD GET RID OF MY CAMRY BUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DASH RECALL TO HAPPEN. TOYOTA IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH. I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE INFERIOR LOW BEAM LIGHTING. WITH MY HEALTH ISSUES I DOUBT IF I WOULD SURVIVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AUGUST 2016 I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DIVERS SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY RETRACTING BACK INTO POSITION (HALF POSITION). BY SEPTEMBER 2016, IT WAS NO LONGER RETRACTING AT ALL MAKING IT HARD FOR ME WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC. BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2016, THE VISOR IS COMPLETELY OFF.

WHEELS
THESE ARE MY OEM TIRES ON MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 13,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE THE OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 TIRES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH LE MIEUX & SON TOYOTA IN GREEN BAY, WI. THE OWNER IS TOM LE MIEUX AND IS THE PERSON I TALKED WITH AMONG HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALESMAN. THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS ACTUALLY EVEN ACROSS THE FRONT TIRES AT 7/32 AND 8/32 ON REAR TIRES. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER TREAD PATTERN IS ALMOST GONE EACH TIRE AND EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT TREAD PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF THE MIDDLE TREAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED THREE TIMES NOW ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MY MAINTENANCE BOOK. PER TOM LE MIEUX AND HIS STAFF THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF THE ODD CENTER TREAD PATTERN WEAR. TOYOTA PUTS THIS JUNK ON THEIR VEHICLES AND ONE SHOULD ONLY EXPECT TO GET 20,000 MILES FROM THEM. LOOSING THE TREAD PATTERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ALREADY HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES SLIP DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE ALSO SLIP WHEN CORNERING ON WET PAVEMENT. I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY WITH THE SAME TIRES ON IT AND BASICALLY HAD A SIMILAR WEAR ISSUE PROBLEM IN 2008. AT THAT TIME BRIDGESTONE WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TURANZA TIRES AND TOYOTA REPLACED MY TIRES. NOT THIS TIME THEY SAY.

MY DASHBOARD PANEL IS MELTING IN MY CAR. THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY STICKY AND EVERYTHING THAT FALLS ON IT GETS STUCK AND I CANNOT GET IT OFF THE DASHBOARD. I TRY TO CLEAN MY CAR AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO THE DASH. I TRY TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH WATER AND A TOWEL, BUT IT JUST PULLS THE LINT OFF A MICROFIBER TOWEL AND IT GETS STUCK. IT IS REALLY IRRITATING AND I HOPE TOYOTA FIXES MY PROBLEM AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS DEFECTS. MY ENTIRE FAMILY DRIVES TOYOTA'S AND IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY TIES WITH TOYOTA.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A FAILED ABS ACTUATOR. THIS WILL COST ME $2,000 TO REPLACE. THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED FLUCTUATING WILDLY, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9.5 YEARS AND IT HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES ON IT, SO I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL PART SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. I AM AWARE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEMS ON THE 2007-08 CAMRY HYBRID MODELS, SO I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ABS ACTUATORS ON THE REGULAR CAMRY MODELS TOO.
