2009 Toyota Camry complaints

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS FALLING DOWN, CAUSING BLOCKING OF VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS CONSTANT AND HAVE HEARD THROUGH OTHERS WITH A CAMRY- THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BLOCK ASSEMBLY FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

CONTACT STOP LAMP SWITCH IN BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FAILED CAUSING SHIFT LEVER TO BECOME LOCKED IN "PARK" POSITION AND VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. APPEARS TO BE AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 12V091000. *TR

IGNORE THE SEAT BELTS ABOVE I HAD TO PUT A DATE AND SOMETHING TO GET THIS TO GO THROUGH. I AM JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT MY DASHBOARD BEING SO STICKY THAT WHEN LAY SOMETHING ON IT AND LIFT IT UP IT PULLS PART OF THE DASHBOARD UP WITH IT. I AM ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE SO YELLOW AND I CAN GET IT FIXED FOR AROUND $100. ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO MAKE MONEY TO FIX THESE THINGS. I HAVE HAD THREE TOYOTAS AND NEVER EVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA WON'T DO A RECALL FOR THESE. I WON'T BUY ANYMORE OF THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN REVERSE, A LOUD POPPING NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE TECHNICIAN RECENTLY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STRUT ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY HELPED TO SOLVE AND IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. UPDATED 10/7/14*CN

THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IT ALSO IS VERY SOFT AND EASILY KNICKED BY TOUCH REMOVING A PIECE OF THE DASH. YOU CAN NOT CLEAN THE DASH BECAUSE THE CLOTH WILL STICK LEAVING LINT BEHIND. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CLEANER OF ANY KIND TO CLEAN THE DASH. I HAVE ALWAYS USED A DRY CLOTH FOR CLEANING. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CAMRY XLE WITH THE STICKY DASH ISSUE! THE DASH IS TURNING INTO A GLUE LIKE SUBSTANCE. IT ALSO HAS A NOTICEABLE SMELL WHEN IT IS HOT OUT WHERE THE DASH IS LETTING OFF FUMES. THERE IS A GLARE WHICH IS AMPLIFIED FROM HIS ISSUE. IM NOT SURE IF THE FUMES ARE TOXIC BUT I HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS OPEN TO AIR IT OUT WHEN I 1ST GET IN. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I EVEN BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM TOYOTA AND A INTERIOR WARRANTY! WELL GUESS WHAT! ITS NOT COVERED! THE INTERIOR TRIM WARRANTY BY PERMA PLATE STATES IT COVERS CRACKED STAINING OR FADED DASH AND TRIM NOT STICKY! I WAS TOLD THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE THE GLUE IS COMING THROUGH THE DASH. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ! I CALL AND GOT THE STANDARD SYMPATHY STATEMENT OF ITS OUT OF WARRANTY! TO TRY TO GET A DISCOUNT FROM YOUR DEALER? WELL I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAINE, MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2010 SO YES THERE IS A LOCAL DEALER BUT NOT WHERE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR

SO FAR, THERE IS NO ACCIDENT, (I HAD TO PLACE A DATE ON THIS FORM SO I CAN SUBMIT) HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED WITH MY MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS IS CREATING A SUN GLARE ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD, IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IF I CANNOT SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. *JS

AS NOTED BY OTHER SAFETY RECALLS FOR TOYOTA THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2009 CAMRY SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIRBAG IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR CRUISE CONTROL I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE OTHER VEHICLES MADE BY TOYOTA HAVE HAD SAFETY RECALLS FOR AND DO NOT BELIEVE IT TO BE AN ODD COINCIDENCE THAT I WOULD THEN HAVE THAT SAME ISSUE. I AM HOPING THAT OTHERS REPORT THIS SO THAT THE CAMRY CAN BE ADDED TO THAT RECALL. *TR

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHT LENS COVERS FADED AND TURNED YELLOW. *JB

WHEN ENTERING MY GARAGE, THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED CRASHING THROUGH THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT THEY DIDN'T APPEAR TO WORK AS THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING TOO FAST. THE CAR FINALLY CAME A STOP IN THE BACKYARD AGAINST A FENCE POST THAT WAS IN CONCRETE. *TR

THE VISORS ARE BOTH BROKEN AND DO NOT STAY IN FIXED POSITION. I WENT TO 10 JUNKYARDS TO BUY REPLACEMENTS BUT THEY ALL SAID THAT SAME THING. THAT THESE VISORS ARE ALL DEFECTIVE AND THEY SELL THEM IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF FACTORY DEFECT THAT MAKES THEM CRACK INTERNALLY. THERE IS ALSO SOME OILY RESIDUE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT IS STICKY AND SHINNY. SO MUCH SO THAT IN THE DAYTIME IT IS HARD TO SEE. JUST WHAT IS THIS GOO ? I CANT GET THE STICKY STUFF OFF AND NOW THE SUN IS BLINDING ME AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE VISORS. I THOUGHT THAT THE STICKY STUFF ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ONLY MY CAR BUT IT SEEM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH THE GRANDKIDS AND ITS REALLY STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND DETERIORATING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE OILY SUBSTANCE FROM THE DASHBOARD HAD BECOME STICKY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I BOUGHT A USED 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT THE DEALER HAD INSTALLED NEW GENERAL ALTIMAX HP TIRES ON, SIZE P215/60R16. AFTER ABOUT 45 MILES OF DRIVING THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AND I FOUND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE DOWN TO 18PSI. WHILE PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRE I NOTICED A LARGE BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL. I PUT THE SPARE ON AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRE AT NO COST TO ME, SAYING IT WAS DEFECTIVE. TODAY, I WENT TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED AND THE TECH TOLD ME HE COULD NOT TOUCH THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE AS IT HAD A HUGE BUBBLE IN THE SIDEWALL. THIS TIRE HAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 14,000 MILES ON IT. THE BUBBLE IS ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION ALSO FOUND A SMALLER SIDEWALL BUBBLE FORMING ON DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. THESE TIRES MUST ALL HAVE DEFECTS. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL TIRES AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH TIRES THAT COULD BLOWOUT AT ANY MOMENT. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE SEAT GOES BACK AND CLICKS IN. WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE SEAT SLIDES FORWARD. THE ACTION IS REPEATED CONSTANTLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A WORN TRACK. THEY SAID IT WOULD CAUSE $2054. TO REPAIR AND CHARGED ME $65.16. *TR

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SHINY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO WEST KENDALL TOYOTA. ADVISOR SAID HE WOULD GET ME A QUOTE. THE QUOTE FOR ME IS $400 TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND TOYOTA SHOULD COVER THE TOTAL COST. THE SHEEN ON THE DASH ALSO CREATES A GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS, WHICH CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA IS AVOIDING A RECALL FOR THE USE OF INFERIOR PARTS. *TR

THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS WENT ON, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND THE ELECTRICAL HAS FAILED. I NEED TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR COMPUTER. COST $2,100. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE PISTONS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 CAMRY LE BRAND NEW IN JULY OF 2008 FROM TOYOTA. DURING A RECENT ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, ONE OF THE MECHANICS NOTED IN THE SYSTEM THAT MY CAR WAS EXCESS OIL IN JUNE OF 2013. TOYOTA SUGGESTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IN MAY OF 2014 THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO TOYOTA WITH APPROX. 85,000 MILES. TOYOTA DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THE CAR WAS IN FACT BURNING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THEY ASKED MY PERMISSION TO REMOVE THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD, DUE TO THEIR BELIEF THAT THEY OIL WAS LEAKING INSIDE OF THE ENGINE. AFTER THEIR REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE HEAD, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT OIL HAD LEAKED INSIDE OF THE PISTONS DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PISTON RINGS. THE SERVICE ADVISER AND SERVICE DIRECTOR TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A "KNOWN PROBLEM". THE ENGINE SHORT BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN TURN, I ASKED THEM WHETHER THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THEY PHYSICALLY POINTED TO SIX TOYOTA CAMRY''S WHO WERE ALL GETTING ENGINE REPLACEMENTS (SHORT BLOCK ONLY) DUE TO THE SAME RING FAILURES. WHEN I PROBED WHETHER THIS WAS A RECALL, THEY SAID TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS BUT HAS ISSUED SEVERAL TECHNICAL MEMOS' ABOUT THE ISSUE. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT ENGINE FAILURE IN FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME REASONS I WAS COMPELLED TO NOTIFY YOUR AGENCY. IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT TOYOTA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINES AT LEAST IN THE 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY CONSUMERS HAVE LOST MON

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE MY CAR, BUT I TOO HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD. I SPENT ABOUT $60 FOR A DASH COVER AND THAT WONT EVEN STAY ON THE DASH BECAUSE IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, IT STILL MELTS. MY DASH HAS MARKS IN IT NOW FROM IT MELTING AND IF I EVER DECIDE TO SELL, EVEN WITH THE LOW MILEAGE, IT WILL TAKE AWAY THE VALUE OF MY CAR WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. *JS

DASH BOARD HAS MELTED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I WENT TO TOYOTA OF STUART FL AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE PART BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR. THE LABOR IS $400.00 WHO CAN AFFORD THAT. I THINK THEY NEED TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE. WHEN IM DRIVING MY FINGER NAILS END UP GETTING STUCK IN THE DASH. YOU CANT OPEN OR STRETCH YOU FINGERS WHEN THEY ARE ON THE WHEEL. THEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET THE STICKY DASH BOARD OFF YOUR FINGERS AND OUT FROM UNDER YOUR NAILS. IT DISTRACTS YOU WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. *JS

DASHBOARD ALL OF A SUDDEN BECAME STICKY AND SHINY. AS I WAS CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD ONE DAY, THE PAPER STARTED TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARD AND I STILL CAN'T REMOVE IT. I TRIED WITH SEVERAL PRODUCTS TO NEUTRALIZE THE DASHBOARD, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED THEM FOR THEIR ADVISE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEVER OBSERVED ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND ONLY COULD OFFER TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR APPROXIMATELY $1500. THE SHEEN ON THE DASH ALSO CREATES A GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS, WHICH CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. I PERSONALLY THINK ITS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND TOYOTA IS AVOIDING A RECALL. I AM 67 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME. THIS IS A FIRST. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. SINCERELY, VERY DISAPPOINTED *JS

I HAD PICKED UP A PASSENGER ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS FROM MY HOME. I WAS RETURNING HOME & NOTICED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THO I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE. I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR& A CURVY ROAD WAS AHEAD ALONG WITH A CLIFF. MY OPTION WAS TO GO OVER THE CLIFF OR GO INTO POSSIBLE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO TRY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I OPTED TO TRY TO TURN THE CAR INTO A NEARBY DRIVEWAY. LUCKILY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HIT MY CAR AS I DID THIS. THE DRIVEWAY WAS SLANTED & AS I TURNED INTO THE DRIVEWAY I SMACKED INTO A SNOW BANK WHICH TORE MY FRONT BUMPER OFF. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA & MY INSURANCE ( AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I HAD HEARD ABOUT A TOYOTA RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH GAS PEDAL BUT IT HAD BEEN A WHILE & I HADN'T RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE). MY PERSONAL CAR INSURANCE COVERED THE $3000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER RADIATOR, GRILL, ETC. OVER 4 YEARS LATER & I STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED MY DEDUCTIBLE FROM TOYOTA FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PEDAL! HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED TIMELY OF THE RECALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED! INSTEAD, I HAD TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE OUT OF MY POCKET & I HAD WHIPLASH FOR A FEW WEEKS CAUSED BY A KNOWN ISSUE TOYOTA KNEW OF! I'M FURIOUS & DISAPPOINTED THAT I CHOSE A TOYOTA! *TR

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION, AND MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS. WE RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE DASH BOARD ON THE VEHICLE HAS GOUGES IN IT (ON THE AREA THAT HANGS OVER ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL) AND WE REALIZED THAT MERELY ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHING THE DASH BOARD WITH YOUR FINGERNAILS (AS ONE COULD DO ACCIDENTALLY IF YOU WERE DRIVING AND TURNING THE WHEEL) IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE NAILS TO "SINK IN" AND CAUSE A PERMANENT SCAR IN THE DASH BOARD. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD, WHEN YOU TOUCH IT, IS "STICKY", OR "TACKY", ALMOST LIKE DRYING PAINT OR TAR. IT'S SO SOFT, THAT CONCEIVABLY, YOU COULD TAKE AN ICE CREAM SCOOP AND SCOOP OUT ENTIRE CHUNKS. MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I DID NOT CLEAN MY DASH BOARD WITH ANY POLISH. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT .. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING OR SUFFERING SOME KIND OF HEAT-RELATED DAMAGE DUE TO THE FLORIDA HEAT, BUT THIS STILL SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I SHOULD NOTE THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE NEVER APPLIED ANY CLEANING CHEMICALS OR ANYTHING TO THE DASH BOARD, OTHER THAN TAKING AN ORDINARY DRY RAG AND WIPING DOWN THE DUST. HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE? THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON 1/20/2014 I NOTICED A LOUD METAL CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO UNSTABLE TO DRIVE AND IT FELT "ROUGH" ON 20/30 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER ON 1-27-2014 WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND WHERE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ROUTINE SERVICES HAD BEEN DONE TO DATE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGTH FRONT COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN, THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF THE LOT BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. THE REPAIRS COSTED ME $2077.44. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OUTSIDE WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEY GAVE ME A CASE # 1402280082. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND I AM STILL AWAITING MEDIATION. TODAY, 4/15/2014 LESS THAN THREE MONTHS FROM THE TIME THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I HAD ALL THOSE REPPPPPAIRS DONE, WHILE DRIVING THE SAME CAR AT 50-55 MPH THE SAME RATTLING METAL LOUD NOISE BUT ONLY WORSE HAPPENED AND THE CAR BECAME VERY UNSTABLE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE COIL SPRING ON THE DRIVER FRONT SIDE IS BROKEN. I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR IN TOMORROW, 4/16/2014 TO BE INSPECTED. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HERE ON YOUR WEBSITE OF OVER 50 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH FRONTS SUSPENSION ON 2009 CAMRY'S. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLES F

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK AND THE ABS LIGHT AND RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, THE RPM GAUGE WAS GOING UP AND DOWN. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK. I TOOK IT INTO JUST A JIFFY LUBE BECAUSE IT WAS THE CLOSEST CAR PLACE NEAR ME. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKE LIGHTS, BRAKE FLUID, CAR BATTERY, AND CHECKED FOR FUNCTIONAL ISSUES. THERE WERE NONE. I TOOK IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC THAT CAME BACK WITH CODE U0029 FOR COMMUNICATION LOSS AT SKID CONTROL (ECU) - ENGINE CONTROL UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO CHECKED OUT ALL OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR AND DID NOT FIND ANY OTHER ISSUES. THEY GAVE A $2K ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE ECU. THE CAR IS STILL DRIVEABLE AND THE LIGHTS STILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WHEN THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON THOUGH, THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS WORKING AND THEN THE SPEDOMETER STICKS AT 0. IF I STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, IT SOMETIMES CLEARS UP. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I HAD MY LAST TOYOTA FOR 14 YEARS AND DROVE IT FOR 239K MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A USUALLY RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THINK IT MUST BE A DEFECT. *TT

REAR TRUNK RELEASE SWITCH RUBBER IS BAD, SOFT, STICKY AND HARD TO OPEN TRUNK WITH THE BAD RUBBER, ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE SWITCH A $70 SWITCH FOR A $1 RUBBER? NOT A FIX FOR A BAD SWITCH DESIGN. WHEN TEMPERATURE IS HOT THE RUBBER IS REALLY SO BAD IT RUNS AND IS STICKY. I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA CORP. ALSO, NO FIX... *JS

WE STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. IT WAS SO SLIGHT WE COULDN'T TELL AT FIRST. I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTICE THAT THE MPH WOULD INCREASE VERY SLOWLY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD BUT THE INCIDENTS WOULD BE SO FAR APART. I WOULD NOT CATCH IT DOING IT AGAIN LITERALLY FOR MONTHS. UNTIL ONE SUNDAY WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE WERE TALKING WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND NOTICED THE TREES GOING BY REALLY FAST. AS I WAS TELLING HIM TO SLOW DOWN AND HE WAS TELLING ME THAT HE HADN'T BEEN PRESSING HIS FOOT TO THE PEDAL A CONSTABLE PULLED US OVER FOR SPEEDING. WE HAD BEEN DOING 88MPH. WE WERE NOT IN A RUSH TO GET ANYWHERE. THIS CAR CONTINUES TO DO IT EVERY SO OFTEN. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TWICE TO THE DEALER. THEY ONCE KEPT IT FOR A WEEK TO CHECK. THEY FOUND NOTHING, WHICH DOESN'T SURPRISE ME BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS OR MORE AND IT IS VERY SLOW AT IT. THE TOYOTA DEALER SHAVED THE PEDAL AND TOLD ME NOT TO USE A SECOND MAT. I DID THAT. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. WELL THE CAR STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN FROM TIME TO TIME. I NOTICE IT WHEN I WONDER WHY I AM GOING SO FAST WHEN I HAVE NOT BEEN PRESSING HARD ON THE PEDAL. MY FEET ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND I AM ONLY A WOMEN'S SIZE 8 SO THAT CAN'T BE THE PROBLEM. I WONDER IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE FASTER AND MORE OFTEN AND IF I HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE TOYOTA WILL HEAR ME. TO TELL THE TRUTH I AM BEYOND MAD. WE HAVE HAD A 199

MY OIL LIGHT BLINKED ONCE ON MY WAY HOME. I CHECKED THE OIL THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AND IT SHOWED NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK! WE ADDED 4 1/2 QTS OF OIL. I HAD NEVER BEEN SO MUCH AS A 1/2 QT LOW AT OIL CHANGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THE OIL LIGHT NEVER STAYED ON AS A WARNING. MY MOTOR COULD HAVE CONCEIVABLY BURNED UP WITHOUT MY KNOWING THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. MY 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS NOW USING AT LEAST 1/2 - 1 QTS OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. WE HAVE A 1999 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 245,000 MILES THAT ONLY USES APPROX. 1/2 QT OIL PER 3,000 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I CAN SEE THAT MINE IS NOT A SINGULAR EVENT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I 90 WESTBOUND ON 03/01/2014 AROUND 10:48 PM .THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE DIFFICULT AS IT WAS SNOWING AND THE HIGHWAY LANES WERE NOT CLEAR EXCEPT THE 3RD LANE WHICH I WAS ON AND IT SEEMED SAFER THAN THE OTHER TWO LANES. THE WEATHER WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO DRIVE AT SPEEDS WELL BELOW 50 MPH AS I WAS APPROACHING THE BARRINGTON ROAD EXIT I SIGNALED AND WAITED FOR THE TRAFFIC TO CLEAR A LITTLE SO I CAN SAFELY PROCEED TO THE SECOND LANE.AS I STARTED MAKING THE MOVE TOWARDS THE SECOND LANE BUT NOT FULLY CHANGING LANES THE CAR STARTED SKIDDING AND I HAD TRIED TO STEER IT SO THAT IT GOES TOWARDS THE LEFT SHOULDER WESTBOUND .I APPLIED THE BRAKES VERY SLOWLY SO I DO NOT HIT THE CENTER WALL AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER MOTORISTS AND STOP SAFELY BUT AS I APPROACHED THE LEFT SHOULDER THE CAR HIT THE WALL AND TURNED AROUND WITH THE CAR POSITIONED FRONT TO THE UPCOMING TRAFFIC BUT STILL ON THE SHOULDER.AS THE CAR TURNED AROUND THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF AN INCOMING CAR HIT THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND PUSHED IT UP THE CENTER CONCRETE WALL. THE CAR STOPPED ON THE WALL(YES ON THE WALL STANDING IN BETWEEN BOTH EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND LANES). I CALLED 911 IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SENT THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE TO INVESTIGATE. THE AMBULANCE CAME BUT NO ONE WAS INJURED SERIOUSLY OR TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. ONLY THE SEATBELT AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF LUCK MADE IT THAT I AM ALIVE AND WRITE YOU THIS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE SEATBELT WORKED EFFECTIVELY IS THAT WHEN THE OTHER VEHIC

DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE WITH 2.4L 4-CYLINDER ENGINE AND 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 0 AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD ILLUMINATED. THE CAR DID NOT CEASE NORMAL OPERATION AND THE BRAKES APPEARED TO STILL FUNCTION AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE AS NORMAL. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ILLUMINATED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN BRAKING ABILITY. THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY JUMPED BACK TO 60 MPH AND APPEARS TO OPERATE PROPERLY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE CHANGES IN THE OPERATION OF THE CAR. THAT THE SAME NIGHT, THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS RETURNED 2 MORE TIMES JUST AS THEY HAD OCCURRED BEFORE WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. DURING ONE EPISODE, THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DURING A COMPLETE STOP AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INACTIVE AFTER LEAVING THE STOP. AGAIN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE SPEEDOMETER RETURNED TO CORRECT OPERATION AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD TURNED OFF. *TR

RECENTLY WE HAD OUR TIRES ROTATED AND THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THE FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING. HE SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT TO TOYOTA FOR REPAIR. WE WEREN?T TOO CONCERNED, THE CAR HAD 34,365 MILES ON IT, WELL UNDER THE 36,000-WARRANTY LIMIT. UNTIL RECENTLY, ALL WE?D HEARD WAS CAMRY SELDOM HAD A PROBLEM, AND, UNLIKE SOME MANUFACTURERS, TOYOTA PAID ATTENTION TO QUALITY. WE THOUGHT WE WERE JUST UNLUCKY. WE DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND IMAGINE OUR SURPRISE WHEN WE FOUND THIS WAS NOT JUST AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM - TOYOTA HAS HAD ISSUES WITH STRUTS LEAKING FOR YEARS. IT?S SO WELL KNOWN THEY WROTE A SERVICE BULLETIN TELLING THEIR DEALERS HOW MUCH LEAKAGE THEY SHOULD OVERLOOK. HOW MUCH LEAKING IS ACCEPTABLE? HOW ABOUT ZERO, ESPECIALLY WHEN A CAR HAS SO FEW MILES, MOST OF WHICH WERE DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS. AS IT TURNS OUT, OUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE WE?VE OWNED IT OVER 36 MONTHS. THAT MEANS WE GET TO FOOT THE ENTIRE $768 BILL FOR THE REPAIR (DEALER PRICE), A REPAIR THAT WOULD NOT BE NEEDED IF TOYOTA HAD ADDRESSED THEIR STRUT PROBLEM WHEN THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. SO MUCH FOR TOYOTA QUALITY.

CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH, WENT DOWN MY DRIVE WAY, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD COOLANT IN CYLINDERS AND ENGINE WAS WRECKED. *TR

I OWN A 2009 CAMRY WHICH I BOUGHT AS A NEW CAR. FEW DAYS AGO I WAS APPROACHING MY GARAGE DRIVEWAY AT A NORMAL SLOW SPEED WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BY ITS OWN. I TRIED TO PRESS THE BRAKE AT HARD AS I COULD TO STOP THE CAR BUT IT CONTINUE TO SPEED UP TILL IT SMASHED INTO THE GARAGE WALL AND BROKE IT. THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE THE STAIR CASE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL GO DISPLACED AND SHATTERED. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I KEPT ON PRESSING THE BRAKES BUT THE WHEELS WERE ROTATING SO FAST THAT THE FRONT TIRE GOT BURST AFTER RUBBING SO FAST AGAINST THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO STOP AFTER THE IMPACT BUT THE ENTIRE GARAGE AND THE HOUSE WAS FULL OF BLACK SMOKE DUE TO BURNING TIRES. THIS UNCONTROLLED SUDDEN ACCELERATION MIGHT KILL SOMEONE IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM AND MUST BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY TO AVOID SIMILAR CASES IN FUTURE. WE DEMAND THAT THE REGULATORY AGENCIES AND STATE AND FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION BOARDS SHALL INVESTIGATE THIS CASE AND AVOID SIMILAR FUTURE INCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT ON TO THE HIGHWAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN MY ACCELERATOR STUCK ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A JEEP NEXT TO ME AND HE HAD TO PULL INTO THE OUTSIDE LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ME. THE CAR HAS BEEN ACCELERATING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE RPM'S INCREASE AND THE GO BACK TO THE NORMAL READING WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REV UP HIGHER AND THEN GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL READING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING S ON I95 JUST NORTH OF PONTE VEDRA EXIT BETWEEN JACKSONVILLE AND ST. AUGUSTINE, FL A LARGE PIECE OF TIRE RETREAD/RECAP CAME DOWN IN MY LANE AND I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO HIT IT GOING BETWEEN 65-70MPH CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND UNKNOWN DAMAGE UNDERNEATH UNTIL IT IS CHECKED OUT. TIRE RECAP CAUSES MANY ACCIDENTS OR VEHICULAR DAMAGE WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS. IF I WERE TO DROP LARGE ITEMS FROM MY VEHICLE THAT DAMAGED OTHER VEHICLES OR CAUSED ACCIDENTS, THERE WOULD BE SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS. MONEY IS NO EXCUSE FOR SAFETY, MAKE THEM PAY FOR TIRES OR STAY OFF THE ROAD! *TR

THIS CAR HIT US ON THE DRIVER SIDE RUNNING US OFF THE ROAD INTO A LIGHT POLE. THE POLE DID GIVE SAY BUT TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM STILL SUFFERING FROM BACK AND NECK PAIN. THE VISOR OR SOMETHING SCRAPED THE TOP OF FOREHEAD/HEAD. *TR

DASH STARTED TO GET STICKY AND WHATEVER I TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH WOULD END UP STICKING TO IT. OVER TIME THIS HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. TODAY , IF YOU PUT YOUR FINGER INTO THE DASH IT WILL CREATE AN INDENTATION AND STAY THAT WAY.I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF TOYOTA OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS TIME FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND IM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD GET ANOTHER TOYOTA OR GO TO A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO SELL MY CAR OUT RIGHT AND EVERY DEALER IS TAKING AT LEAST $2000.00 OFF OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. WHY HAS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEEN RECALLED? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY TOYOTA. IM HOPING THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, I STARTED TO FEEL A LOT OF HEAT IN MY RIGHT HAND, THE HEAT CAME FROM THE RADIO AND THE A/C CONTROLS STOP WORKING AND THE RADIO TOO, THE RADIO TURN BLANK BUT KEEP PLAYING THE A/C CONTROLS KEEP TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEM SELVES. SINCE THEN MY RADIO GOES BLANK, ON AND OFF AND THE DEALER WONT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, I HAVE CHECK WITH DIFFERENT CAMRY'S OWNERS AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES???? WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING LIKE IF THE ROTORS WERE BAD, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT A IDLE ARM IS BAD ,AND HE AS WELL AS OTHER CAMRY'S OWNERS TELL ME THAT THERE ARE A LOT PROBLEMS WITH THOSE ARMS. MY CAR IS STOCK, I HAVEN'T DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE IS THAT I TOOK THE CAR FOR NEW TIRES AND I SAW RUST INSIDE ALL MY RIMS, I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SO THERE NO SNOW OR I DO NOT LIVE TO CLOSE TO THE BEACH, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, I TOLD THE DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MY VISORS KEEP FALLING OFF AND THEY COME OF THEIR BASE. *TR

THE PASSENGER "AIR BAG-OFF" WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON WITH ADULT PASSENGER IS IN FRONT SEAT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. TOYOTA STATES THEY WILL NOT CORRECT DEFECT OR CALIBRATE SYSTEM BECAUSE VIN NUMBER IS NOT WITHIN MARCH 2013 RECALL FOR THIS DYSFUNCTION EVEN THOUGH LIKE MODELS AND YEAR HAVE BEEN ISSUED RECALL FOR SAME CONDITION. *TR

2007 - 2009 TOYOTA CAMRYS HAVE BEEN NOTED TO HAVE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. MY CAMRY IS BURNING APPROXIMATELY 2 QTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. PER TOYOTA'S REQUEST, MY CAR HAS BEEN ROUTINELY SERVICED BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS; HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS EVER BROUGHT THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY MODEL YEAR TO MY ATTENTION. THE MOST I'VE EVER HEARD, "YOUR CAR WAS A LITTLE LOW ON OIL." WITH A PUBLISHED SERVICE BULLETIN, TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ALL EFFECTED OWNERS WITH THIS INFORMATION. AS THE SOLE OWNER, AND WITH 99,000 MILES, MY CAMRY IS BEYOND THEIR WARRANTY, AND WILL REQUIRE AN ENGINE REBUILD TO MITIGATE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN BY TOYOTA AND IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IT STARTED RAINING SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THEY WORKED. THE RAIN SLOWED AND I TURNED THE WIPERS OFF. WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN HARDER AGAIN I TURNED THE WIPER SWITCH BACK TO ON- THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. WE'VE HAD TOYOTA CHECK THEM OUT ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, NOV. 22, 2013 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT BEGAN TO RAIN. I TURNED THE SWITCH ON, AND THE WIPERS WOULD WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THEY QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE IT BEGAN TO RAIN AGAIN- THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT NOW THE WIPERS WON'T COME ON AT ALL! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR! *TR

CAR USED MOSTLY ON HIGHWAYS, SO BRAKES NOT USED TOO MUCH, SLOW DOWN MORE USING CRUISE CONTROL. 07.25.2011, AT 32,600 MILES, RIGHT REAR BRAKEPADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AND START GRINDING ON DISC. THREE DAYS BEFORE THAT THIS CAR WAS INSPECTED FOR 30,000 MILES AND REAR BRAKEPADS WERE AT 4 MM. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY DIDN'T INSPECT THE BRAKEPADS THREE DAYS BEFORE BECAUSE I DID NOT BOUGHT THE TIRE ROTATION, SO THEY JUST "VISUALLY INSPECT" AND FILL THE PAPER WITH NUMBERS JUST TO BE FILLED. 09.17.2011, AT 34,400 MILES, BRAKEPADS REPLACED AGAIN FOR NOISE AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDALS WHICH HAD ALSO SLIGHTLY VIBRATION DURING RELEASING. THIS NOISE CONTINUE ALL THE TIME AFTER THAT, EVEN AFTER THIS BRAKEPAD REPLACEMENT. 10.10.2013, AT 61,400 MILES, SAME RIGHT REAR BRAKEPADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AFTER VISUALLY INSPECTION DONE DURING TIRE ROTATION AND THOSE BRAKE PADS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE. SERVICE ADVISOR TRIED TO SELL ME MANY OTHER THING INSTEAD TO PAY ATTENTION TO MY CONCERN ABOUT CAMRY'S, AND STATED REAR BRAKEPADS LIFE IS 30,000 MILES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS NOT TRUE. 10.27.2013, AT 62,000 MILES, DURING THE TRIP ON MOUNTAIN PARKWAY ROAD WHEN I USE CAR BRAKE ALL THE TIME, SAME RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEGUN TO MAKE CONTINUOUS NOISE 10-15 SECOND AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS HOT, THE OTHER WHEEL HAVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE. 11.04.2013, AT 62,900 WENT BACK TO TOYOTA SERVICE AND THEY FOUND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE (WHICH THEY STATED IS COMBINED WITH REAR PEDAL BRA
