CAR NO LONGER GOES IN ECO MODE. WHEN DRIVE CAR IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHEN BACKING UP AND SOMETIMES GOING FORWARD THE WHEELS VIBRATE AND DON'T MOVE LIKE THEY ARE LOCKED.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE AND TOYOTA WON'T REPLACE THE DASH NOW BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THE REPLACEMENT PERIOD IS OVER NOW HOWEVER I'M MILITARY AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DEPLOY. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THEM HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS FOR ME. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS NEBRASKA (POSSIBLY JUST INSIDE WYOMING) HEADING TO COLORADO ON SUN JUNE 29TH, ON I-80 (VERY LONG, 80MPH SPEED-LIMIT HIGHWAY), MY CAMRY WITH 215,000 MILES SUDDENLY GAVE A 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' CODE, WHICH CAUSED THE GAS-PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL ALSO CAME ON. THE ELECTRONIC 'TRIP INFORMATION' DATA-GRAPHIC SHOWED MY HYBRID BATTERY WAS DOWN TO ONE PINK-LINE SUGGESTING LOW-POWER IN THE HYBRID BATTERY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SMOOTHLY. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW-TRUCK THAT NEVER ARRIVED, I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON/OFF A FEW TIMES TO VERIFY THE ON-BOARD GPS FOR OUR LOCATION (ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHIN THE VEHICLE STILL WORKED). AT AROUND THE TWO HOUR WAITING-MARK, WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' ALERT AND THE CHECK-ENGINE SYMBOL BOTH DISAPPEARED, & I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE ADDITIONAL 50+ MILES TO MY FINAL DESTINATION IN FORT COLLINS COLORADO. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO & TWO CODES WERE REGISTERED: POAOF-204 - ENGINE FAILED TO START (?? THE VEHICLE ALWAYS 'STARTED' SO I'M NOT CLEAR ABOUT THIS CODE) AND P3190 - POOR ENGINE POWER. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE AROUND FORT COLLINS, THE HYBRID BATTERY WOULD ONLY GET UP TO THREE CHARGE LINES (BLUE), WHICH ISN'T EVEN HALF-CHARGED, BEFORE TRICKLING BACK DOWN TO THE TWO OR EVEN ONE PINK-LINE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN-TRANSIT ON A CARRIER TRUCK TO MY HOME BACK IN BUFFALO, NY. THE VEHICLE'S ALWAYS BEEN REL

DASHBOARD IS GETTING SOFT AND SHINY AND PIECES OF IT COME OFF VERY EASILY. IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. *TR

VSC, ABS, AIR LIGHTS ARE ON. MAKES A PEAK SOUND WHEN I START MY CAR. IT STAYS FOR A LONG TIME AND GOES AWAY. DURING THIS TIME BREAK DOES NOT WORK AS NORMAL. FEELS HARD TO PRESS BREAK AND UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. YESTERDAY WHEN I'M DRIVING SUDDENLY SOUND CAME ON AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AS I NORMALLY CAN. WHEN I TRY TO PRESS THE BREAK. BREAK DOES NOT APPLY.

DASHBOARD MELT. *TR

I ADJUSTED THE STEERING COLUMN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I LOCKED EVERYTHING IN PLACE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP. ALL OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. I CAN'T USE THE HORN; TURN THE RADIO ON OR MAKE HANDS FREE CALLS. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE AIRBAG AND IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I'VE LEFT IT ALONE FOR 5 YEARS. I FIGURE WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE I MIGHT BE BETTER OFF. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS PART WAS RECALLED, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT REPLACED BECAUSE I'D ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED, SERVICE FOLKS SAID IT WASN'T DEFECTIVE (AND IT WASN'T AT THE TIME). THEN AROUND 2016 THE VISOR STARTED NOT GOING TO THE ROOF AND WOULD HANG DOWN SLIGHTLY. OVER THE COURSE F THE NEXT TWO YEARS IT GOT TO WHERE IT WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW. TOYOTA SAID THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED SO I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR. NOW I HAVE TROUBLE IF I'M DRIVING INTO THE SUN. FRUSTRATING PART IS THAT HAD THEY DONE IT WHEN I ASKED ORIGINALLY I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA CAMRY AND DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL AFTER THAT THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND GETS REALLY SHINEY AS THE TEMPERATURE RISES. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER THEY SAID THAT IT EXPIRED ON 5/31/17 AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR ONLY HAS 68370 MILES AND HAS A LONG LIFE. I DO FEEL THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THIS ISSUE IS ALL OF THE TIME. *TR

THE ABS SENSOR/MODULE HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. I SPENT SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSTICS YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NOW IT HAS GONE CRAZY AGAIN. THE DASH HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO BEING STICKY. THE CAR ITSELF BURNS OIL, WE ARE CONSTANTLY CHECKING AND ADDING TO IT. IT SEEMS SEVERAL HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND TOYOTA SHOULD BE FIXING THEM. *TR

I CAN NOT BRAKE THIS CAR, THIS CAR SUDDENLY MOVES FORWARD VIOLENTLY WHEN I URGENTLY PEDAL DOWN TO STOP IT NEARBY OUR DOWNTOWN. THE ABS SYSTEM ALARM APPEARED TOO, SOME NOISE OCCURRED TO ABS ASSEMBLY MODULE. I TOWED THIS CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BUT TOYOTA REFUSED TO RECALL AND SAID THIS CARE IS OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY SERVICE (IT HITS 13 YEARS OLD AND PASSED OVER 200,000 MILES).I THINK TOYOTA HAD RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE THE SAFETY SYSTEMS. PLEASE KINDLY HELP TO DEAL THIS ISSUE OR ADVISE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

I CAN NOT BRAKE THIS CAR, THIS CAR SUDDENLY MOVES FORWARD VIOLENTLY WHEN I URGENTLY PEDAL DOWN TO STOP IT NEARBY OUR DOWNTOWN. THE ABS SYSTEM ALARM APPEARED TOO, SOME NOISE OCCURRED TO ABS ASSEMBLY MODULE.THE VSC SYSTEM APPEARED SOMETIMES BEFORE THIS CASE HAPPENED ON 5/13/2020, BUT NOT TOO OFTEN. I ALSO HAD SOME MECHANICAL AUTO-ENGINEER(BRAKE XPRESS AUTO-SHOP) CHECK IF ANYTHING MECHANICAL ISSUE HAPPENED TO THE BRAKE HARDWARE, BUT NOT PROBLEM TO FIND OUT. I TOWED THIS CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, BUT TOYOTA REFUSED TO RECALL IT AND SAID THIS CARE IS OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY SERVICE (IT HITS 13 YEARS OLD AND PASSED OVER 200,000 MILES).I THINK TOYOTA HAD RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE THE SAFETY SYSTEMS AND RECALL ALL RISKY CARS WHICH HAD SAFETY SYSTEM ISSUE.PLEASE KINDLY HELP TO DEAL THIS ISSUE OR ADVISE IF YOU CAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

THE DASH ON THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUN. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ANY IMPACT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. *TR

VCS SYSTEM LIGHT ON BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ABS LIGHT. *TR

TOO MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION ALSO THE CAR JERKS WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL

THE ABS ACTUATOR WENT BAD WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOPPED, ALMOST HITTING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY COMING FROM THE AIRPORT GIVING A RIDE TO A FAMILY MEMBER AFTER ABOUT 7 MINUTES FROM THE TIME I STARTED DRIVING, THE CAR SHOWED ENGINE SIGN AND IN LESS THAT 5 MINUTES THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. I HAVE TRIED TO PULL IT TO A SAFE PLACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THEN IT STARTED SHOWING SMOKE IN THE HOOD.

CAR IS BURNING 2+ QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, RESULTING IN 5 QUARTS BURNED OIL PER MONTH. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CEASE, MAYBE DURING HIGH SPEED, RESULTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT.

THE PLASTIC PANEL THAT HOLDS THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DOOR) IS EXPANDED AND BENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG OR IF THE AIRBAG IS EXPANDING INSIDE THE PLASTIC PANEL AND THEREFORE IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SINCE CAMRY WAS NOT PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AS MANY OTHER TOYOTA MODELS.

DASHBOARD IS DANGEROUSLY REFLECTIVE AND FEELS STICKY TO TOUCH. THE GLARE IS BLINDING WHEN DRIVING.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING. WITH THE SLIGHTEST TAP TO IT, PIECES OF THE RUBBER ON THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DASHBOARDS DURING THE TIME I PURCHASED IT BUT BEING THAT I WAS NOT THE OWNER IN TOYOTA'S LOG I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA TELEPHONE AND GOTTEN NO RESULTS AND I HAVE WENT TO A TOYOTA LOT AND STILL HAVEN'T GOT ANY RESULTS. ANY AND EVERYTHING IS ABLE TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARDS PUTTING IT AT RISK OF BECOMING HOME FOR MICROORGANISMS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING RESPIRATORY ISSUES FOR ME. I AM NOT ABLE TO DISINFECT THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT. IN THE PAST I WOULD NO DOUBT RECOMMEND TOYOTA TO EVERYONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SUPPORTER OF TOYOTA BUT CURRENTLY I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE.

CAMRY BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL AND NEEDS TOP UP AT FREQUENT INTERVALS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND ENGINE NEEDS FIX

HAVING A REALLY SCARY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR RANDOMLY CUTS OFF IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE AND COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT

IN 2015 I NOTICED I WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST, SO I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE PISTON RINGS (A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED), AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 2020, AND I'M BURNING THROUGH 2.5 QUARTS EVERY FILL-UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND 'CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE' WAS DETECTED ALONG WITH A BAD SPARK PLUG. I HAD TO SPEND AROUND $400 TO FIX A COIL AND SPARK PLUG BECAUSE THE 3RD CYLINDER HAD EXPANDED AND WAS SPILLING OVER. 3 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME ADDING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1/2 TANK. I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $2,000-$3,000 TO FIX. I'VE SEEN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO BAD PISTON RINGS. I WAS FORCED TO GET A NEW CAR THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 TO 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE AND MOVE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROSEVILLE TOYOTA 700 AUTOMALL DRIVE, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (916)782-2163. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE MODEL YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

CAMRY BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL AND NEEDS OIL REPLACEMENT CONSISTANTLY.

WHIE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD IS VERY REFLECTIVE AND BLINDING. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE STICKINESS SUBSTANCE. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT HAD A ACCIDENT BUT I DON'T USE THE CAR DURING THE DAY TIME BECAUSE THE SUN IS ALWAYS OUT SHINY IN TEXAS WHERE I RESIDE AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS VERY STICKY. WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVE A GLARE ON MY EYES COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF CAMRY OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED SO IT RECEIVE LESS EXPOSURE TO THE SUN.

MELTED AND STICKY DASHBOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ADDITIONAL OIL NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION FROM THE LOW OIL SENSOR OR GAUGE TO WARN OF THE LOW OIL LEVELS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND MORE OIL HAD TO BE ADDED BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 159,000.

THE SUN VISORS ARE THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE CAR WERE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED AND THE NEW VISORS ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE AND DO NOT MAINTIAN THEIR POSTIION AS THEY FALL DOWN AND BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW MAKING A VERY SERIOUS HAZAED AND PREVENTIVE VISIBILITY TO DRIVE THE CAR. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER CALLED TOYOTA OF ORANGE AND THEY SAY THEY KNOW THE REPLACEMENTS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE REPLACMENTS.

MY CAMRY PASSED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN MARCH 2015 AT RICK HENDRICK TOYOTA, SANDY SPRINGS GEORGIA. I INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT SHOULD OF FAILED BECAUSE I WAS ADDING OIL BETWEEN MAINTENANCE VISITS. IN DECEMBER 2019 MY CAR IS BURNING OIL FASTER THAN EVER. THE DEALERSHIP (RICK HENDRICK TOYOTA IN SANDY SPRINGS GEORGIA ) ADMINISTERED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I AM STILL DOING THE TEST. HOWEVER, THE MANAGER TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS 145,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT OF TOYOTA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS.

BURNS TOO MUCH OIL. FRIENDS WITH CAMRYS AND SCIONS BOTH HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SAME ISSUE. I BARELY MAKE IT TO 2000 MILE MARK AND HAVE TO ADD OIL. EVEN DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO BURN THROUGH TOO MUCH OIL. IF THEY KNOW THIS AND IT'S A PROBLEM FOR MANY THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED.

2007 CAMRY HAS BEEN BURNING OIL FOR YEARS AND IS REALLY BAD. HAVE TO ADD MORE THAN A QUART EVERY TIME I FUEL UP. RIDICULOUS

3 DIFFERENT CONCERNS ISSUE #1: WHILE IN MOTION THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON, SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0, OTHER GAUGES GO CRAZY. HAPPENS OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY SAID IT IS THE ABS MODULE GOING OUT, TO FIX IT WITH A BRAND NEW PART WOULD BE $1800. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY SPEED, ITS A POSSIBILITY MY ABS WOULDN'T KICK IN IF NEEDED. REGULAR BRAKES WORK FINE.

BACK SEAT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION. IT WILL NOT COME UNBUCKLED SO BASICALLY HAVE NO SEAT BELT FOR THAT SEAT

ONGOING ISSUE THE CAR BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY. I HAVE TO ADD OIL BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE IS SCHEDULED (EVERY 3000 MILES). THERE IS BLACK SOOT BUILDUP IN THE GAS TANK DOOR AROUND THE CAP. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS AWHILE, JUST NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT UNTIL I MET A FELLOW CAMRY OWNER WHO'S 2009 CAMRY WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MINE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. THE BLACK SOOT HAS BEEN THERE BASICALLY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING (2007), IT STARTED NOTICEABLY BURNING OIL AT ABOUT 130000 MILES, THE CAR IS NOW AT ABOUT 163000

ABS ACTUATOR FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SUDDENLY WHILE NORMAL DRIVING. THE LIGHTS INCLUDED SLIPPAGE, ABS, CHECK VSC, AND EMERGENCY BREAK. THE BREAK ACTION RESPONSE WAS DIMINISHED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO TOYOTA, AND THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, BUT OURS IS BEYOND THE NEW EXTENSION WINDOW. COST TO REPAIR IS $1,600

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 25MPH ON MONTGOMERY DRIVE IN PHILADELPHIA (CITY STREET) IN THE MORNING OF 12/9/2019. IT WAS RAINING LIGHTLY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT 4 TO 5 CAR-LENGTHS AHEAD. IT BRAKED AS ANOTHER CAR TRIED TO CUT IN, AND I ALSO IMMEDIATELY BRAKED. MY BRAKE FELT GRINDING AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLIDE INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

THE MELTING DASHBOARD WHICH CAUSES A SHINE WHICH REFLECTS INTO DRIVERS VISION IS A DANGER!!!! THE FACT THAT TOYOTA ALLOWS THIS TO GO ON, AND DOES NOT REMEDY IT FOR THOSE THAT (FOR WHATEVER REASON) MISSED THE NOTICES SENT OUT IS A DISGRACE, AND A DANGER TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVER, BUT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD!! HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DRIVING CARS WITH THIS ISSUE?? THESE ARE ACCIDENTS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN! MY MOTHER'S CAR DASHBOARD DID NOT BEGIN TO "MELT" UNTIL AFTER THE NOTICES WERE SENT, SO SHE DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH HERS....SURPRISE!!! IT HAS NOW BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS OR MORE. TOYOTA ONLY WANTS CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA IN OUR FAMILY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE OIL INDICATOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO ADD OIL TO THE VEHICLE EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ERNIE PALMER TOYOTA (1290 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32205, (904) 389-4561) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCE PROGRAM FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,285. *JS

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WERE I WAS HIT FROM THE BACK PUSHED IN TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WE'RE MY CAR WAS TOTALED YET MY AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT. NOT ON SIDES OR FRONT. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT BEHIND FOR OTHER CARS THEN A CAR CAME OUT OF NOWHERE FULL SPEED AT LEAST 30 40 MILES AN HOUR IN MY ESTIMATION HOWEVER HIT ME HARD ENOUGH TO PUSH ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ON THE FEEDER ROAD DIRECTLY OFF OF THE HIGHWAY GOT A COMPLETE STOP.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CAMRY ON A TOWN HIGHWAY, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SMOKE STARTED TO FILL THE CABIN, AND I SAW A GLOWING FLAME WHERE THE SEAT WARMER BUTTON IS, ON THE CONSOLE. IMMEDIATELY, I TURNED OFF THE SEAT WARMER BUTTON. I LOOKED FOR A PLACE TO PULLOVER, HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND, SAW A LARGER FLAME AND BLACK SMOKE FILLED THE CAR. I PULLED OVER TO A SHELL STATION, CALLED 911, AND A MAN WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER SPRAYED THE NOW CONSIDERABLE FIRE BURNING . THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AFTER THE FIRE WAS OUT, AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR IS NOT REPAIRABLE. A TOW CAR BROUGHT IT HOME. THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL WHEN IT STARTED AND THEN ESCALATED QUICKLY. . MY QUESTION IS WHY DID THE FUSE NOT BLOW TO PREVENT THE FIRE? THANK GOD I WAS IN A TOWN NEAR A SERVICE STATION AND NOT ALONE ON AN ISOLATED ROAD. THE FIRE GREW VERY QUICKLY. THIS JUST HAPPENED THIS EVENING ON 11/19/19. IT WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT WAS PRETTY FRIGHTENING HOW QUICKLY THE FIRE ESCALATED. I AM GOING TO CONTACT TOYOTA ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION AS WELL. THE CASE # BY THE ST. JAMES PARISH SHERIFFF'S OFFICE IS SJP19002613. I CALLED 911 AND 4 POLICE CARS AND FIRE TRUCK WERE DEPLOYED AND CAME TO THE SCENE.

DRIVING ON STREET APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHERE I WAS TURNING LEFT AND HAD A GREEN LIGHT WHEN THE ABS/ESC LIGHTS ON THE DASH TURNED ON AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. THIS CAUSED ME TO ROLL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAD TO STOP BY ROLLING INTO CURB. FOUND THE BRAKES DO WORK SOMEWHAT NOW BUT ARE DANGEROUSLY WEAK.

MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY FILM AND WHEN SUNLIGHT IS PRESENT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO SEE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN WITH TOYOTA CARS BETWEEN 2007-2009. I CONTACTED TOYOTA FOR GENERAL INFORMATION FOR REPLACEMENT ON 26 OCT 19. ACCORDING TO A TOYOTA REP ON 1 NOV 19, RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT TO REGISTERED OWNERS BY REACHING OUT THROUGH THEIR LOCAL MVA IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. ALL VEHICLES I EVER OWNED WERE ALWAYS REGISTERED BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE TOYOTA. NOW THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I'M RESPONSIBLE SHOULD I WANT TO MAKE THE REPAIR AND NO OTHER RESOLUTIONS. THIS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA AFTER BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER.

BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCK UP WHEN BACKING UP. CODE COMES UP ABNORMAL, ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR.

DASHBOARD IS WEARING TOUBLE. ITS STICKY AND ALL CRACKED UP
