MY TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL I DONT WANT THIS CAR TO BLOW UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING

I HAVE TAKEN FAIRLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR THROUGHOUT THE TIME I HAVE HAD IT WHICH IS ALMOST 10 YEARS BUT THE MILEAGE IS ONLY AT 130,000. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF BUT I HAD NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, EVEN NEVER HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SO THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE. I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AT THAT TIME AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY BELIEVED THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS APPEARING. THEY FIXED SAID PROBLEM BUT THEY REALIZED THE CAR WAS STILL DISPLAYING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO REVVING. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SO THEY COULD READ WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THAT ONE OF THE CYLINDERS WAS MISFIRING AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED A COMPLETE OVERHALL/REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE GIVEN WAS $6000 FOR THE ENGINE (THIS SITE DID NOT ACCEPT THIS AMOUNT) AND ANOTHER AMOUNT WHICH I CAN'T RECALL FOR THE LABOR. I HAVE NOT YET DECIDED WHAT I WILL DO BUT WANTED TO LOOK UP ANY ENGINE RECALLS OR ISSUES OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THEIR CAMRYS AND CAME UPON THIS SITE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I'VE EXPERIENCED MORE THAT AVERAGE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR REGARDING THIS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. WHEN THE FIRST TEST RESULTS CAME OUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST AND THAT IT DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. WHEN THE FOLLOWING OIL CHANGE WAS DUE I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP JUST TO GET THE SECOND OPINION ON THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME I WAS REQUESTING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR MY VEHICLE. SURPRISINGLY THE RESULTS CAME OUT THE SAME WAY, THAT MY CAR PASSED THE TEST. AS OF RECENT, THE SITUATION HAS BECOME WORSE. I'M SUPPOSED TO TURN IN MY CAR AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 5,000 MILES PER TOYOTA STANDARDS, BUT AFTER ABOUT 700 TO 800 MILES MY ENGINE BEGINS GIVING NOISES WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR, WHICH OVER TIME I CAME TO LEARN THAT THIS KIND OF NOISE IS AN INDICATION THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS VERY LOW AND I NEED TO ADD MORE OIL. MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING ANY OIL, IT'S CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I AM CONSIDERING DOING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TO ANOTHER REPUTABLE DEALERSHIP WITH NO CONNECTIONS WITH TOYOTA TO SEE HOW THE RESULTS ARE GOING TO BE. IN THE MEANTIME I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A HELP FROM THE NHTSA BECAUSE I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR ACTIONS. THANK YOU

RECENTLY PURCHASED (AUG 2017) A CAMRY AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS STICKY AND PLANNED TO CLEAN IT WITH AN ADHESIVE REMOVER; HOWEVER, IT ISN'T JUST STICKY IT HAS ACTUALLY MELTED AND BECOME SHINY CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS AND WHEN MEETING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT NIGHT. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED MAY 2017 (TOLD ME IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO HELP ME NOW). SOMETHING THAT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE AND NEEDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ISSUED IS NO LONGER UNSAFE TWO MONTHS LATER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE GEAR IN PARK, THE VEHICLE MOVED AND DROVE OVER THE OCCUPANT'S LEGS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED TWO BROKEN ANKLES, CUTS, AND BRUISES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TOYOTA ISSUED TSB FOR "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION". I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEIR 'TEST' (I.E., MORE THAN 1 QT OF OIL IN 1,200 MILES) AND JUST BARELY "PASSED". BUT THE PROBLEM GROWS WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW BURNS OIL EXTREMELY QUICKLY. BUT TOYOTA TOLD ME TODAY THAT SINCE THE CARE IS NOW MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD, THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME. WHY WON'T TOYOTA JUST DO A "RECALL" TO FIX THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, HE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S SON HAD TO ABRUPTLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT WAS TOO LATE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S SON CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS INJURED, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

OIL CONSUMPTION .. IN DRIVING THE CAR IN THE CITY AND I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY MORNING THERE IS OIL CONSUMPTION AND I NEED HELP IN THIS ISSUE

STICKY MELTING DASHBOARD

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR RETAINING MECHANISM BREAKS AND THE VISOR DROPS DOWN AND BLOCKS THE DRIVERS VISION. THE DRIVER MUST MANUALLY HOLD THE VISOR UP WITH ONE HAND TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD.

I HAVE BEEN CHANGE OIL BY TOYOTA DEALER, REGULARLY ON AND OFF, SINCE BLAND NEW. BUT ONCE A WHILE, I TOOK DIFFERENT SHOP TO CHANGE PARTS. ABOUT 2012 I LEARN THAT I HAVE PROBLEM WITH STRUT, WHEN I WAS REPLACING TIRES. SO I WENT BACK AND I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE STRUT TO KEARNY MESA TOYOTA, SAN DIEGO, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT IS STILL OKAY TO DRIVE AS IT IS, BUT ABOUT 2014, I STARTING HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY TIRES, SO I WENT TO TOYOTA POWAY, THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE STURT ALONG WITH TIRES, SO I REQUEST TO REPLACE STRUT AND TIRES AND THEY CALLED ME THE BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACE AS WELL. I WAS REALLY MAD AND I CONTACT THE TOYOTA, AND KEARNY MESA TOYOTA CONTACT ME THEY WILL REPLACE BEARING FOR ME. NOW AFTER 2 AND HALF YEARS WITH A LITTLE OVER 20K MILE ON THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO HAVING STRUT LEAK PROBLEM AGAIN. I CONTACT THE TOYOTA POWAY, THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE STRUT NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA AND THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP THIS TIME.

BOUGHT CAR USED A YEAR AGO. HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT 74,000 MILES WITHIN TIME FRAME ALLOWED. WAS TOLD ENGINE WAS GOOD. NOW, AT 80,000 MILES OIL IS AT BOTTOM TIP OF OIL DIP STICK. I CALLED DEALER WHERE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE. WAS TOLD "WE ONLY ADDED A QUART..." AT TEST'S CONCLUSION. I WAS NOT TOLD AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST'S CONCLUSION THAT A "QUART WAS ADDED." SINCE I WAS NOT TOLD A QUART WAS ADDED, I WASN'T AWARE I HAD TO WATCH MY OIL. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY BUT I COULDN'T MAKE-OUT WHAT IT WAS. FOLLOWING DAY, UPON STARTING VEHICLE, IT FLASHED AGAIN. ANOTHER DAY AND IT STAYS ON VERY BRIEFLY BUT LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FIGURE THAT IT WAS THE OIL LIGHT. I LET CAR SIT ON FLAT SURFACE FOR AN HOUR, CHECKED OIL AND IT JUST TOUCHED TIP OF DIPSTICK. I ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL.

DRIVER & PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE EITHER FALLEN OFF COMPLETELY AND/OR NO LONGER ABLE TO STAY UP AND OUT OF WAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. WE'VE REPLACED THESE VISORS 2 TO 3 TIMES, AT LEAST ONCE WITH DEALER. NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALL THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED THE MORNING OF 7/18/17, WHEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR SUDDENLY BECAME LOOSE FROM ITS UPWARD POSITION AND RELEASED TO AN UNSTABLE DOWNWARD POSITION. THIS SUDDEN OBSTRUCTION NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE VISOR BLOCKED THE DRIVER'S VIEW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION, BUT WAS REQUIRED TO HOLD THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO MANEUVER VISOR UPWARDS TO LOCK IN PLACE TO NO SUCCESS. DRIVER AT THAT POINT HAD TO REMOVE VISOR FOR SAFETY REASONS. PASSENGER VISOR ALREADY FELL OFF EARLIER ON ITS OWN AND NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BEEN REMOVED; VEHICLE NO LONGER HAS SUN VISORS. VEHICLE OPERATOR LIVES IN CENTRAL ARIZONA WITH CONSISTENTLY "VERY HIGH" UV INDEX. THE LOSS OF VISORS MAKES THIS CAR DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING DAYTIME, EVEN WITH INDEPENDENT EYE PROTECTION (IE: SUNGLASSES) AS WELL AS WITH HE VISORS' UNRELIABILITY TO REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE CAR'S INTERIOR.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WONT STAY FULLY IN THE UP POSITION.

DASHBOARD MELTING

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS INTERMITTENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEMS. ODOMETER DOES NOT INCREMENT MILES TRAVELED. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WILL CEASE TO INDICATE PROPER READINGS AND DROP TO ZERO. THE TACHOMETER WILL THEN BOUNCE BETWEEN ZERO AND WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS A CLOSE APPROXIMATION OF THE ACTUAL ENGINE RPM. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND STAY ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE "EPISODE".

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND THE CAR BURNS OIL FAST

BASICALLY THE ABS ACTUATOR IT'S FAILING LIKE IN THE HYBRID MODEL BUT ARE NOT COVERED BY THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR AS THE PART FAILING IT'S THE SAME BASIC ABS PART BUT ON DIFFERENT NON-ELECTRIC VARIANT

DASH BOARD IS REALLY STICKY

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE A NEAR 0% EFFECTIVENESS. I LEAVE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE "ALWAYS ON" POSITION, BUT AT NIGHT I OFTEN HAVE TO SWITCH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO VERIFY THEY ARE ON. WHEN THEY ARE ON AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AT NEAR 0% EFFECTIVENESS.

MY CAR LOSES OIL AT THE RATE OF A QUART AND A HALF EVERY 500 MILES OR SO. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOR AN OBVIOUS LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, BUT CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL AT THIS RATE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THREE MECHANICS NOW THAT THIS IS COMMON IN CAMRYS. IF IT IS SO COMMON, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA.

THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT. WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GETS WARM, 80 DEGREES PLUS, THE DASHBOARD IS SO STICKY YOU CAN NOT PUT YOUR HANDS ON IT.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND I MISSED THE RECALL ON THE DASHBOARD BY 23 DAYS. I CAN'T DRIVE CAR BECAUSE THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. TOYOTA TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

MY PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN AND IS IMPEDING MY LINE OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AND REPLACEMENTS SEEM TO ALSO FAIL PER THE SITE LISTED BELOW. MANY USERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUES HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-6 TOYOTA OFFERED A EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER IT EXPIRES 7 YEARS AFTER INITIAL PURCHASE DATE OF THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 AND NOT COVERED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE DEEMED A RECALL ISSUE.

MY CARMY HAS HAD THE STICKY DASH PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR AND I FINALLY DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT IT, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY PROGRAM THAT EXPIRED A MONTH GO, 31 MAY 2017. I CALLED THEM UP AND THEY PROMPTLY REFUSED TO REPLACE MY DASH. THERE ARE STILL MANY CARS OUT THERE THAT WERE NOT FIXED ADN THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE DISTRACTING GLARE DURING HIGH HEAT. CAN ANYBODY SUGGEST A COURSE OF ACTION? MAYBE POTENTIALLY SUING THEM TO GET THEM TO REPAIR MORE CARS?

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING. LAST OIL CHANGE, THE TECH STATED CHECK OIL REGUARLY (EVERY 2 WEEKS) CAR IS BURNING OIL. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS.

"TAKATA RECALL" SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN ON DRIVERS SIDE. APPARENTLY IT'S AN ISSUE WITH 2007-2011 CAMRY'S. CARS THAT ARE OLDER THAN MINE AREN'T HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. LEARNED THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON THE VEHICLE BUT TOYOTA SAYS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ENDED AS OH MAY 31, 2017. CAR WAS PURCHASE ON 2/8/08 WITHIN THE GEN YEAR MARK AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED VEHICLE. DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OR CALL ABOUT THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A MANDATE BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAMRY, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY AND I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WAS DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP CLEANING IT UP FOR ME BECAUSE I JUST PURCHASED IT. OVER TIME I NOTICED THAT THE SHINE STARTED TO BECOME AN ISSUE WITH ME WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOT AND SUNNY TIME FRAME OF THE DAY. SO ONE DAY I DECIDED TO TAKE MY HAND AND JUST RUB THE DASH TO SEE IF IT'LL TAKE SOME OF THE SHINE AWAY AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED IT MY HAND GOT STUCK AND BURNT FROM THE HEAT OF THE "STICKY DASHBOARD" SO WHEN I GOT HOME I DECIDED TO TRY AND CLEAN IT WITH SOME SOAP AND WATER TO SEE IF IT'LL REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T WORK. MY COUSIN HAS THE SAME CAR AND I CALLED HER TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO AND MUCH TO HER AMAZEMENT SHE DISCLOSED WITH ME THAT SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER 2007 CAMRY AS WELL. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A GUY WHO DETAILS CARS AND NOT ONLY DID HE STATE THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE 2007 CAMRY'S BUT HE HAS SEEN THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR IN OTHER STATES BECAUSE HE WAS FROM NY AND ALSO LIVED IN GEORGIA AND DETAILED CARS IN THOSE STATES AS WELL. THIS HAS BECOME A NUISANCE NOW BECAUSE IT IS BLINDING ME AS I DRIVE UNLESS I PUT A CLOTH OVER MY DASH AND THEN I HAVE TROUBLE REMOVING IT BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY GLUED DOWN TO IT AFTER THE FACT. MY DAUGHTER UNBEKNOWNST TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS HOT DECIDED TO REACH UP AND WIPE IT SO THE GLARE WOULD GO AWAY AS WELL AND SHE BURNT HER HAND TOO. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS NEEDS T

THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND FAILED WHILE ON A OVER NIGHT TRIP LEAVING PASSENGERS STRANDED IN THE DARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON ONLY MINUTES BEFORE, NOT ALLOWING FOR ADEQUATE TIME TO INTERVENE. WE WERE UNAWARE AT THE TIME OF THE ENGINES PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL. THE GARAGE MECHANICS WERE EXPECTING TO FIND AN OIL LEAK AS THE PROBLEM FOR THE ENGINE BURNING UP AND WERE SURPRISED TO FIND NO LEAK. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED 8 MONTHS AGO, PRE-OWNED WITH 72,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED IT HAD 89,000 MILES ON IT AND $9000 LEFT ON THE LOAN. RELUCTANT TO PAY THOUSANDS TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED SINCE THE ENGINE IS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM.

MY BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENT. WHEN THE TWO LIGHTS COME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR/ABS MODULE IS GOING OUT. THIS IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF CARS THAT PEOPLE LOST THERE LIVES DUE TO BRAKE ISSUE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

KNOWN ISSUE OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHERE THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT COMES ON JUST INTO 1,000 MILES AFTER CHANGING OIL. THE LOCAL DEALER AT IRA TOYOTA OF TEWKSBURY, MA.01876 - TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK OR WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE SINCE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA US AT 1-800-331-4331 THEY OPENED A CASE#1701232302 FOR MY ISSUE BUT NOW SAY THAT THE LOCAL TOYOTA AND EVEN REGIONAL STORES CANNOT TAKE MY CAR BACK TO FIX IT AGAIN THE LOCAL STORE SAYS THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE I CAME BACK AFTER 14,379 MILES I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS ALREADY STOPPED ON ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET - WITH THE STEERING WHEELING BLOCKING SUDDENLY AND FOR ME HAVING TO VEER QUICKLY ON THE CURB WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO CONTROL. I CAN HEAR A SQUEELING NOISE WHEN I CHANGE GEARS ( MANUAL CAR) AND WHEN I PUT THE FOOT ON THE CLUTCH. THE CAR SHAKES A LOT WHEN I CHANGE GEARS AND I AM ABOUT TO STOP. I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND OF COURSE LOTS OF INCONVENIENCES BECAUSE I CANNOT USE THIS CAR FOR MANY ACTIVITIES INVOLVING MY FAMILY OR JUST ANYWHERE PAST 10 MILES OF MY HOUSE. I AM HOPING THAT I CAN GET HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA, AN ISSUE THAT THEY DID NOT FIX PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NOW THEY ARE JUST HOPING THAT I CAN GO AWAY BY DENYING ME MY RIGHTS TO PROPER SERVICE. I TOLD TOYOTA US THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE HOW A KNOWN ISSUE CAN BE FIXED AND JUST WITHIN 1 YEAR IT COMES BACK.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS EXTREMELY STICKY. AS IF THE PUT GLUE ALL OVER IT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW I AM ABLE TO REMOVE THIS STICKINESS WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD.
