STRUCTURE:BODY
Roof and sunroof structures began making continuous loud "popping" noises, very startling and distracting to driver and passengers. Toyota is aware of the problem, it involves the structure of the sunroof mating to the structure of the vehicle roof. This defect has existed since at least the 2007 model year, and Toyota published official guides for Toyota dealer repair procedures. Toyota refused the procedure due to my vehicle being out of its 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, instead quoting around $1600 for the repair. The popping noises are very loud, similar to a rock hitting the windshield. This startles the driver and causes the driver to jump and lose focus. This is a very well-known defect and Toyota is hiding behind the fact that it usually begins after the warranty period is expired. Toyota should cover its repair.

POWER TRAIN
I have taken my car into the dealership twice now to be looked at for transmission issues. There’s a delay in acceleration and shifting gears. It struggles to move quickly when needing to get out of the way of any potential danger. This lack of responsiveness is dangerous and reported on many Toyotas as something “normal” and as such, the dealership says they can not replicate the problem.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I was stopped at a traffic light, on an uphill grade, for roughly thirty seconds when my 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid just started slowly accelerating. I looked down and my foot was still on the brake. The car then accelerated quickly. I turned into the left hand turn lane in order to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. The car then jumped the center divider and slam in the curb on the other side of the street before it stopped. At no time did I take my foot off the brake. There was only minor damage to the front bumper, but I destroyed two plants in the center divide. (I do not know, as of yet, if there was any damage to underneath of car.) As I was less than two miles from home, I drove the vehicle home. The next business day I had the vehicle towed to the Toyota dealership in San Juan Capistrano, CA. I told them of the problem and they immediately notified corporate. Corporate TOOK possession of the car and did not issue its report until June 1, 2022 (31 days after the incident).

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
On 01/14/2022, I was in a car accident. I hit a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport head on at 45 mph and my airbags didn’t deploy nor did my seatbelts lock. My car is available for inspection at Classic Collision of Augusta body repair shop. Since my airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt did not lock, I made contact with my steering wheel and my right hand made contact with the dash. My passenger’s airbags did not deploy nor did their seatbelt lock. They made contact with the window, door, and dash of my car. We sustained injuries from the accident. Unknown if problem has been reproduced or confirmed by dealer or service center. Vehicle has been inspected by my auto insurance and the body repair shop, but unknown results. Unknown if any other entities have inspected the vehicle. Yes, a maintenance required message was present for a oil change required. Message appeared when mileage hit 48479 due for oil change per the mileage on the sticker on my windshield.

AIR BAGS
I hit a deer that caused all of the airbags to go off. A specific airbag under the steering wheel, a knee bag, caused severe bruising and soft tissue to my calf’s, crippling me for nearly a week. At one point I visited my doctor who confirmed the damage, did a test for roving blood clots, and sent me home to continue to recover. It’s been just over 5 months and I still have visible damage. I would have suffered no injuries if that ‘knee-curtain’ hadn’t been there or if it had not acted like a brick slamming into my legs. I’m concerned for others who may suffer similar unnecessary injuries because of this device.

POWER TRAIN
When accelerating from a stop, the engine revs but very little power and forward motion, then suddenly, the vehicle lurches as though it has gone from neutral to first gear. The danger here is that I am dangerously crawling through the intersection. In addition, while driving around 30 mph, the vehicle will also suddenly lose power as though it shifts from drive to neutral. This problem is being reported to other websites by other people, see carcomplaints.com and repairpal.com

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FIRST ISSUE, (MINOR) DRIVER SIDE REAR SEATBELT DOES NOT RECOIL CORRECTLY. MUST BE MANUALLY FED IN ORDER TO RESET FOR NEXT USE. SECOND ISSUE, HOOD LATCH DOES NOT RELEASE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. YOU MUST HAVE A LONG FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER AND MANUALLY LIFT THE HOOK FROM THE HOOD IN ORDER TO RAISE HOOD. APPEARS TO BE A WEAK SPRING ON THE LEVER. NOT SURE WHAT ABOUT THIS CAR MAKES IT EAT TIRES BUT I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW (12 MILES) AND NOW HAVE 98,000 AND I AM GOONG THROUGH TIRES APPROXIMATELY EVERY 10,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF BRAND OR WARRANTY. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES BY MULTIPLE COMPANIES AND STILL NO WEAR PATTERN ON TIRES JUST WORN COMPLETELY SMOOTH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE THOUGHT OF PUTTING MY SON IN IT IT TRAVEL TO COLLEGE AND BACK BUT I WILL GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE I PUT MY CHILD IN IT FULL TIME. HE DOESN'T NEED THE HEADACHE OF CHECKING TIRES AND REPLACING THEM EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THERE IS NO TIRE SPECIALIST WITH ANY IDEA WHY THE TIRES WOULD BE WEARING THIS BAD ON THIS VEHICLE. MAKES ME WONDER IF OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THEIRS AS OFTEN AS I DO. I DO LIVE IN A RURAL AREA BUT ON A PAVED ROAD AND MOST OF MY TRAVEL IS VIA HIGHWAY. DATE PROVIDED IS DATE OF LAST TIRE ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT.

SEATS
THE PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE POWER SEATS BROKE WHEN THE PLASTIC MADE CONTACT WITH THE FRONT OF THE SEAT RAIL WHILE ADJUSTING THE SEAT BACKWARDS FROM THE MOST FORWARD POSITION WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED. WHEN DRIVING, THE PANEL THAT BROKE AT THE FRONT ALLOWED THE SEAT TO ENGAGE MOVEMENT WITHOUT DRIVER KNOWLEDGE AND CAUSING DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER PUT DUCT TAPE ON FRONT OF PANEL SO IT WOULD NOT SELF ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA DEALER ADVISES THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY AND THERE SHOULD BE A TSB ON IT BUT THERE IS NOT. SAYS REPAIR IS $400. SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT IN DESIGN SINCE I HAVE ONLINE RECORD OF OVER 100 CARS BEING AFFECTED.
