2009 Toyota Camry complaints

2.4 LITER ENGINE BURNS ENGINE OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL TO ALMOST EMPTY BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE!

I CHECK THE OIL WEEKLY IN THE VEHICLE DESPITE IT BEING DRIVEN SPORADICALLY. THE OIL BURNS OFF QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO REPLACE FREQUENTLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND SHINY. THE SHINY SERVICE CAUSES A BLINDING GLARE. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT HAD EXPIRED. *JS

DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AT TIMES IS ALMOST A DISTRACTION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL SOME TIME AGO, BUT WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OR NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA

VSC WARNING APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. ABS WARNING LIGHT AND PS LIGHT IS ON TOO. I HAD THE ABS ACTUATOR REPLACED IN FEBRUARY 2019 WHEN THE VSC WARNING FIRST APPEARED. I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE PLUS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE STORE, WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND TURNED CAR ON, THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND MELTED INTO A GLOB WHICH HINDERS MY ABILITY TO SEE AND I CALLED IN 2017 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND WAS TOLD I WAS A MONTH TOO LATE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S PROGRESSED EVEN MORE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS TO THE POINT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING ON IT TO MAKE THE GLARE GO AWAY. IT LOOKS SO TACKY AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS/VOLUNTARY PROGRAMS FOR THE VEHICLE. EMPLOYMENT FROM 2014 - JANUARY 2018 PARKED IN THE PARKING GARAGE DURING THE DAY. CHANGED EMPLOYMENT JANUARY 2018 AND PARKED IN OPEN PARKING LOT, NO PARKING GARAGE AVAILABLE. NOTICED MINIMAL MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD AROUND JULY 2018. ASSUMED ISSUE WOULD AUTO-RESOLVE IN COLDER CLIMATE. PROGRESSIVE WORSENING OF "MELTING DASHBOARD" SUMMER OF 2019. RETURNED TO PREVIOUS EMPLOYER AND BEGAN PARKING IN THE PARKING GARAGE AGAIN DURING THE DAY FROM SEPT 2019 TO PRESENT DAY. COVID 19 PANDEMIC OCCURRED. NOTED MELTING OF DASHBOARD DID NOT RESOLVE, CALLED MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT TOYOTA NATIONAL CORPORATION. CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATION ON 10/09/2020 AND DISCUSSED CASE.

DASHBOARD IS STCIKY AND SHINES THR REFLEXION OF THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, AT THE POINT WHERE IT BECOMES HARD TO SEE

WHEN DRIVING OUTSIDE ESPECIALLY DAY TIME AND WHEN HOT AND HUMID, THE CAR'S DASH BECOMES STICKY AND SOFT. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM AND THE LIVED IN CA, I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER I RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OR NONE IN THE SERVICE CENTER CHECKED WITH ON THIS ISSUE OR TOLD ME THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HENCE NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY DID WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE AND POWER WINDOW SWITCH MALFUNCTION. NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS DASH STICKINESS ISSUE AND TOYOTA IN HAWAII IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT THAT THEY HAS PUT IN AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR MILLIONS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. THE REASON DOE REFUSAL IS THAT MY CAR JUST PASSED 10 YEARS SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. BUT HAD I BEEN KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE EVEN EXPERIENCING IT, I WOULD HAVE GOT IT REPLACED. I HAD BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE REGULARLY TO TOYOTA SERVICE, BUT NONE BOTHERED TO CHECK ON THIS. SINCE IT IS NOT MY ISSUE AND IT IS BECASUE OF THEY USING A DEFECTIVE PART, THEY SHOULD HELP ME IN REPLACING IT COMPLETELY AT THEIR EXPENDITURE. I AM WITH MY FAMILY AND I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE AS IT COULD EMIT CHEMICALS BECAUSE OF MELTING OR CHANCES OF FIRE ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP ME TO HAVE THE SERVCO TOYOTA REPLACE MY DASH. I BROUGHT THIS TO CONTINENTAL US TOYOTA HEAD OFFICE, BUT THEY AGAIN DIRECTED ME TO SERVCO TOYOTA, HAWAII, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HELP. PLEASE INTERVENE AND HELP

STICKY DASHBOARD

MAINTENANCE LIGHT WAS ON, CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT OUT, TIRES WERE WORN OUT, ALSO CAR MADE NOISES ON FRONT RIGHT PASSENGE SIDE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND SOME TIME SHAKED FROM RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE DASHBOARD WAS DISINTEGRATING AND STICKY CAUSING A REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO VISUALLY SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY. WHEN THE SUN OR HEADLIGHTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD IT IS BLINDING AND I CAN'T SEE. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH HOT SOAPY WATER, AS I WAS INSTRUCTED, BUT IT WILL NOT COME OFF.

MY CAR KEEPS HAVING PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS REBUILT THE ENGINE IN JANUARY 2018. SINCE THEN, I'VE HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 2020. A NEW RADIATOR 2019, NEW SPARK PLUGS MARCH 2020, NEW FUEL PUMP APRIL 2020. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WILL NOT COME DOWN. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR, JULY 29, 2020. YESTERDAY, JULY 24, 2020, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CUT OFF. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON (ENGINE, OIL OR BATTERY). IN THE PROCESS, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED FOR SERVICE. TOW TRUCK DRIVER GAVE ME A HOTSHOT AT MY REQUEST SO, I COULD ROLL THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS UP. MY CAR NEEDED A HOTSHOT TO DRIVE OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK TO PARK. TODAY, JULY 25,2020, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCES WAS CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO JERRY'S TOYOTA BELAIR RD., BALTIMORE, MD. I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED ANOTHER ALTERNATOR, AGAIN. THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR IN ABOUT TWO YEARS. FURTHER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MECHANIC 'THINKS' THAT THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR SOME REASON, THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT LASTING IN MY CAR.

I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT MY CAMRY'S DASH BOARD. IT HAS BECOME VERY DISTURBING DUE TO IT LITERALLY MELTING. I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH MY DASH BOARD WITHOUT MY FINGERS AND HANDS GETTING STUCK TO IT. MY CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER BUT THE TEXAS HEAT HAS RUINED WHAT I TRY TO KEEP IN PRISTINE CONDITION.

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ON OUR TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PER THIS ARTICLE, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE ACTUATORS THAT TOYOTA HAD PROMISED TO COVER: HTTPS://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/CAR-NEWS/FEDS-CLOSE-PROBE-INTO-2007-11-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRID-FOR-POWER-BRAKING-CONCERNS.HTML TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ON OUR CAR, DESPITE AGREEING TO CONDITION WITH FEDERAL REGULATORS. OUR CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS MADE, LEAVING US IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VIN [XXX] BUT YET I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL INFORMATION IN MY MAIL. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS? THANKS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THERE MESS TO!

THE DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND HAS CRACKED AND LOOKS TERRIBLE. OBIVIOUSLY NOT A QUALITY PRODUCT.

WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT (AS IN I HAVE NO BRAKES) SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. AT THE SAME TIME MY (ABS, CHECK VSC SYSTEM) LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND MY BRAKE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. I VERY CAREFULLY DROVE IT HOME AND WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO FIX.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SEEMS TO STAY THAT WAY. I HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS BUT THE DATE TO REPAIR HAS EXPIRED? IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IN OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY, THERE WAS A TEMPORARY DASH REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. IT WAS CONSIDERED A WARRANTY EXTENSION AS OPPOSED TO A RECALL AND IT WAS A LIMITED TIME WHERE OWNERS COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED DURING THAT LIMITED TIME SPA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS PAST YEAR AND UPON PURCHASING AND SPENDING A SUMMER IN SAN ANTONIO WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY I EXPERIENCED WHAT THE DASH RECALL/TOYOTA REPLACEMENT POLICY WAS INTENDED TO REPAIR. THE DASH TURNS TO MUSH IN THE HEAT AND IT IS VERY, ALMOST MALLEABLE. FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, IT CREATES A GLARE THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE FROM THE DRIVERS POINT OF VIEW AND FURTHERMORE THERE'S BEEN REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASH. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA ABOUT POSSIBLY HELPING ME REPAIR MY DASH AND THEY SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE MANUFACTURES DAMAGES. I WANTED TO FILE A CLAIM FOR RECONSIDERATION IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIAL HE BE A HAZARD OR A DANGER TO MY FAMILY.

DESCARGA LA BATERIA

ALL ENGINE SERVICES WERE DONE ALWAYS IN TOYOTAS CENTER, NOW CAR IS 154329 KM(95,895MILES) AND I STARTED TO CHECK OIL BY MYSELF IN THE LAST YEAR AND I NOTICED EXCESSIVE MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION. ACTUALLY I NEED TO ADD 1QT OIL EVERY 3 WEEKS (1 QT EVERY 350 MILES APROXIMATELY). THE MOTOR IS NOT DRIPPING THE OIL ON THE FLOOR, SO IT MUST BE GOING SOMEWHERE.

APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF AS MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. THAN THE DOOR HANDLE BEHIND THAT CAME OFF WHEN MY CHILD WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH LATER. FOLLOWING BOTH THOSE INCIDENTS I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES AND WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT HANDLE JUST CAME OFF. THE ONLY HANDLE REMAINING ON THE CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. NO ONE PULLED ON THE HANDLES HARDER TO OPEN THE DOORS. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN! I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN TOYOTAS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED! I DO NOT USE MY CAR FOR ANYTHING LIKE UBER OR LYFT WERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NORMAL AND I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO 3 DOOR HANDLES! I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY CHILD. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOYOL TOYOTA CUSTOMERS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND I AM JUST BESIDE MYSELF THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN!

CAR IS BURNING >2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. 115K MILES ON THE CAR. THE TROUBLE BEGAN ABOUT WHEN TRUMP GOT INTO OFFICE AND IS GRADUALLY GETTING WORSE.

I OWN A 2009 CAMRY LE. THE MATERIAL THAT COVERS THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND PEELING OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2018. WHEN THE SUN SHINES THE LIGHT REFLECTS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THEM TODAY (1/27/20) BUT THEY SAY IT IS NOW EXPIRED. I AM WONDERING HOW THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED FOR MY VEHICLE SINCE I NEVER GOT THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK BECAUSE I MOVED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STICKY DASHBOARD, MELTING DASHBOARD THAT HAS MADE ALSO MOVED SOME STICKINESS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION STARTED IN 2016 & IT IS GETTING WORSE. ADDING A BOTTLE OF ENGINE OIL TWICE A MONTH. MY CAR ONLY HAS 103K MILES AND IS 2009. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW & IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

SO I NOTICED THAT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID STEERING IS REQUIRING EXTRA POWER TO TURN THE STEERING. IT'S VERY STIFF AND I COULD HARDLY BE ABLE TO MAKE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNING.

PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME 10/2016. LAST TWO YEARS OIL CONSUMPTION IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES HAS REACHED PUTTING 4 TO 10 QUARTS OF OIL IN THIS CAR. RECENTLY HAD GASKETS, RADIATOR, COIL AND SPARKS CHANGED (10/2019). I NOW AS OF THIS DAY (12/21/2019) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM (ENGINE FAILURE). GASKETS HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT AND THE VSC CAME ON. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO EVERY ONE INCLUDING WHERE I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM. IT APPEARS I HAVE NO RIGHTS REGARDING TOYOTA AND DRIVE TIME AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES. I KNOW THIS CANNOT BE THE CASE. WHO IS HOLDING THESE ENTITIES ACCOUNTABLE?. THIS CAR HAS STOPPED AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR REGARDING THIS ENGINE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT TO GET THIS CORRECTED. THIS IS A DEFECT ON TOYOTA'S PART AND DRIVE TIME FOR THE SALE OF THIS CAR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS WHICH I KNOW I HAVE. DOING RESEARCH THERE WAS NO RECALL. WHY NOT. I WILL BE FILING COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY ALSO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE ON MY 2009 CAMRY MADE ME ALMOST CRASH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BASICALLY I HAD MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND LOST THE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY RISKING THE CAR BEHIND ME CRASHING INTO ME. I HAVE THE 2.4L ENGINE. THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR BURNING OIL DUE TO FAULTY PISTONS, AND EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENGINE BURNS A LOT OF OIL TOO NOT ONLY RISKING MY LIFE BY HAVING MULTIPLE MISFIRES, BUT IT ALSO RUINS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF OIL THAT I USE TO CONSTANTLY TOP IT OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND SHIFTING INTO THE DRIVE GEAR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SURGED FORWARD. AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
