OUR CAR BEGAN BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL AROUND 75,000 MILES.AS IT TURNS OUT, THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE 2AZ-FE ENGINES WHICH WERE INSTALLED IN THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES: 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HV, 2007-2009 TOYOTA CAMRY, 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA, 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX, 2006-2008 TOYOTA RAV4, 2007-2008 TOYOTA SOLARA, 2007-2009 SCION TC, AND 2008-2009 SCION XB . TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT THE MATERIAL DESIGN DEFECT ENGINES BUT THEY DECIDED TO SELL THE CARS ANYWAY: THE ENGINE DEFECT TYPICALLY BECOMES APPARENT EITHER DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED, SO IT WOULDN'T BE THEIR PROBLEM. IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT IN 2014, THEY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE GUIDELINES ARE VERY RESTRICTIVE AND ONLY COVER THE MOST EGREGIOUS CASES, LEAVING US WITH A FAULTY ENGINE THAT CONSUMES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200-1400 AND NO MEANS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. *TR

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON A NUMBER OF VEHICLES BECAUSE OF A PISTON RING DESIGN FLAW. LAST YEAR THEY TESTED MY 2007 CAMRY AND SAID IT WAS OK. ACTUALLY, IT BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL (I JUST FOUND OUT FROM CUSTOMER CARE) BUT TOYOTA SAYS IT MUST BURN 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO QUALIFY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OK. MY OIL LIGHT WENT ON LESS THAN 2000 MILES IN TO MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THE CAR WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT DEFINITELY HAS THE DESIGN FLAW--BUT THEY HAVE TO RUN ANOTHER TEST TO VERIFY WHAT I HAVE TOLD THEM. NOW HERE IS THE ZINGER---I HAVE ONE WEEK TO DRIVE 1100 MILES. THAT IS BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THIS RECALL ENDS THEN. SOMEHOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW, THEIR INABILITY TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME, AND THEIR UNILATERAL SETTING OF AN EXPIRATION DATE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FAIR OR REASONABLE. PERHAPS THEY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OR EXTEND THE FINAL DATE FOR ME? I CANNOT DRIVE 1100 MILES THIS WEEK. I WOULD IF MY SCHEDULE ALLOWED IT.

I RECEIVED 1ST NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR REGARDING FACTORY WARANTY EXTENSION BECAUSE OF STICKY DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED 2ND NOTICE LAST SPRING AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTO SERVICE AND VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DASHBOARD NEED TO BE REPKACED. THE PUT THE LINE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY ME. IT WAS APRIL 2016. WHEN I CALLED SEVICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THEY SAID IT BACK ORDER AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEN I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTO MOTOR CUSTEMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY ORDER WAS IN THE LINE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL BE IN SERVICE. I SAID OK. TWO DATS AGO I CALLED TOUOTO MOTOR AND ASK WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DELIVERED. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS BACK ORDER. THEY SAID I AM GOING TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED TO TALK THEIR MANEGER . THEY SAID THEIR MABAGER WILL CALL ME. TODAY I HAVE RECEIVED CALL. SHE REPEATED SAME THINGS. IT IS BACKORDER THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE REPLACED. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED NOW. I DON'T THING THAT THEY HAVE PLAN TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMER. THEY JUST ACT LIKE THEY TAKING CARE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IF COURT ORDER. I SEARCGED MANY TOYOTO OWNER ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTO SERVICES CALL THEM FIR DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ACTION. GOVERMENT OFFICES MYST START INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFY WHAT ACTION AND HOW MANY CARS DASHBOARD PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SOLVED AFTER THE COURT ORDER. IT WAS SAFETY PROBLEM AND MY GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUSH TOYOTO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE COURT, THE FEDERAL JUDGE AND INFORM THAT TOYOTO LYING MANY TOYOTO OWNER AND THEY DON'T TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TO SOLVE IT. THEIR ONLY ANSWER THE IT IS BACKORDER PART. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THAT HOW MANY CARS' DASHBOARD HAVE VEEN REPLACED OVER KAST 2 YEARS. THE NUMBER WILL GIVE IDEA HOW MUCH THEY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. IT IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF SHINY DASHBOARD.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD 6AM APPROX. 1 MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I APPLIED BRAKES INTENDING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THEN VSC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, HAD TO PUSH HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE CAR. I MISSED MY INTERSECTION TO TURN. IT IS AS IF THE POWER SYSTEM TO THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. I SLOWED ENOUGH TO TURN THE CAR ONTO A SIDED STREET AND PUMPED THE BRAKES HARD, IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO BRAKE, BUT AT LEAST I KNOW I HAVE TO APPLY HEAVY FOOT PRESSURE TO BRAKE. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND VSC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THEN TURNED OFF AFTER 1 MINUTE AND POWER BRAKING RETURNED TO NORMAL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. INCIDENT OCCURRED SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 2016 IN CORINTH, TEXAS. APPROXIMATELY 5:20PM. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR. ROAD CONDITIONS CLEAR AND DRY. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 80F. DRIVING 30MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. WE HAVE THE RED LIGHT. BRAKES APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR - NO BRAKES AT ALL. IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVS UP TO VERY HIGH RPM AND UNINTENTIONAL, OUT-OF-CONTROL ACCELERATION TAKES PLACE. THE CAR GOES THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AGAINST THE RED LIGHT. NO CROSS-TRAFFIC OR OTHERWISE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH. THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE TRANSMISSION IS AGGRESSIVELY MOVED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CAR STOPS. BRAKING ACTION RETURNS. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN HOWEVER THE RPM RETURNS TO NORMAL. THE CAR IS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN AT 35 - 40MPH TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER - TOYOTA OF DENTON, TEXAS. IF THE CAR APPROACHES 50MPH THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV UP TO HIGH RPM HOWEVER BRAKING ACTION REMAINS NORMAL. THIS INCIDENT HAS LEFT THE OWNERS WITH NO CONFIDENCE IN TOYOTA. THE CAR IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. EVEN IF THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS SAY THE CAR IS GOOD TO GO, WOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE THIS CAR? NO WAY. AND WITH TOYOTA'S REPUTATION OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH HANDLING THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WOULD YOU TRUST THIS CAR? NO WAY. WE WANT TO BE DONE WITH TOYOTA. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SENT TO THE JUNKYARD. AND WE WANT THE PURCHASE-MONEY LOAN CANCELLED AND OUR DOWN PAYMENT BACK. AND WE WILL GO TO ANOTHER CAR MANUFACTURER. *TR
