2009 Toyota Camry complaints

THIS CAMRY IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AT THE RATE OF ABOUT ONE QT EVERY 400 MILES.

THIS CAR TIRE WAS CHANGED WITH PRIMEWELL PS830/850 & IT HAS 40000 MILES OF WARRANTY. TIRE WAS REPLACED IN 2012. AT THE TIME CAR MILLAGE WAS 47282. NOW THE 2 TIRES ARE WORN OUT COMPLETELY & 1 TIRE IS SEPARATING OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES TODAY. TODAY MILLAGE OF THE CAR IS 80270 WHICH IS LESS THAN 40000 MILES. THIS TIRES ARE NOT GOOD FOR DRIVE & IT WILL CREATE SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN I CALLED PRIMEWELL THEY TOLD ME THAT TIRE HAS ONLY 5 YEARS OF WARRANTY, IF THEY GIVE ONLY 40K OR 5 YEARS OF WARRANTY THEN WHY NOT THEY WRITE IT DOWN IN TIRES. TODAY I REPLACED TIRES FROM FIRESTONE MOORESVILLE, NC 28117. SO I REQUEST YOU TO DO MORE INVESTIGATION ABOUT IT & PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE AN ACTIONS. I AM ATTACHING WHEN 1ST TIME TIRE WAS INSTALLED FIRESTONE COPY & TODAY I REPLACED WITH SAME TYPE OF TIRE COPY. ALSO ATTACHED PHOTOS OF SEPARATING TIRES COPY. FIRESONE GUYS TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL TRY TO KEEP THOSE TIRE FOR AROUND WEEK. SO PLEASE TRY TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION. THANK YOU,

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY, BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS TURN ON, RPM AND SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, AND A/C ALSO SEEMS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE SHOWN HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RDTGABJRFDS IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE INTERMITTENT USE OF YOUR DASHBOARD SENSORS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ABS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR THE COST OF $3000. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM.

ENGINE OPERATES WITH EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE. CONSUMES/LOSES 1 QUART OF OIL IN 700 MILES AS OF THIS FILING DATE. I WENT TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AT 12/2011 AT 82,700 MILES AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM - 1 QUART USAGE PER 1000 MILES IS NORMAL. ALSO, DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING AT 45,000 MILES OR SO.

I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT I WAS HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN 3K OIL CHANGE. SINCE THEN I HABE DISCOVERED ONLINE THE TSB 0094-11. I RAN A CK ON THE ODOMETER AFTER ADDING OIL AND YES IT IS RIGHT AT 1200 MILES. THAT WOULD MEAN 2QTS OF OIL ADDED BETWEEN 3000 MI. OIL CHANGE.

SUN VISORS ARE FAULTY DESIGN. HEAT (SUN) CAUSE EXPANSION OF THE PLASTIC JOINTS TO EXPAND/CONTRACT EVENTUALLY LEADING TO FAILURE. THE VISOR HANGS DOWN BLOCKING DRIVER'S VISION. REPLACEMENTS COST $90 OR MORE AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS BECAUSE OF FAULTY DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, NO BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTH HOLLYWOOD TOYOTA (4606 LANKERSHIM BLVD, NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA 91602, (800) 800-6730) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS MODULE ACCURATOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A STOP BY CAR WILL SHUT OFF. THE CAR WHEN SITTING HAS A ROUGH IDLE (400-500 RPM) WITH ALL HEAT/AC ETC TURNED OFF BUT CAN VARY AT TIMES OF AN IDLE OF 700-900RPM NOTABLY WHEN A/C IS ON IT DRAGS THE RPMS DOWN TO 300-400 AND WILL SHUDDER AT A STOP. THERE'S NO CODES ON DIAGNOSTICS, NO NOISES OR LACK OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MAY BE WORTH MENTIONING THIS VEHICLE "PASSED' THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT I AM STILL ADDING A QT OF OIL EVERY 1200-1800 MILES. A SEARCH OF THE WEB SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION. HELP?

WE HAVE AN INTERMITTENT REOCCURRING ISSUE WHEN VEHICLE US DRIVEN BEFORE FULL WARM-UP (10 MINUTES OR LONGER). THE ISSUE IS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ZERO RPM (STOP LIGHT) SCENARIO, THE VEHICLES RPMS GO UP HIGH, BUT THE THE CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY. AS IF IT'S NOT IN SYNC WITH THE GAS PEDAL WHEN BEING PRESSED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN TESTED AND NOT NOTED. DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, WE HAVE TAKEN DRASTIC MEASURES, SUCH AS INSTALLING A REMOTE START TO BRING VEHICLE TO TEMPERATURE BEFORE DRIVING. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE CUT OUT OF THE ACCELERATION HAPPENS WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR CAUSING REAR IMPACT TO UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS. CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED AT LOCAL DEALER, WHERE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT I WANT THIS DOCUMENTED SHALL ANY ACCIDENT EVER OCCUR DUE TO SPEED CONTROL FAILURE.

NOT SURE IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT MY NEAR MISS. YESTERDAY I DID TRANSMISSION FLUSH ON MY 2009 CAMRY. AFTER COMPLETING THE TRASMISSION SERVICE, I HAD MY WIFE START THE CAR, SO I COULD CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL (PER OWNERS MANUAL); MY 17 MONTH OLD BABY BOY WAS ALSO WAS IN THE CAR. I REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AND CLEANED IT OFF. AS I REINSERTED THE DIPSTICK THERE WAS AN ARRAY OF SPARKES COMING FROM THE DIPSTICK. I REMOVED THE DIPSTICK AND INSPECTED WHAT HAD OCCURRED. IT APPEARS DURING THE PROCESS THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON MY BATTERY GOT SLIGHTLY EXPOSED AND WHEN I REINSERTED THE DIPSTICK IT TOUCHED THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF MY BATTERY AND WAS GROUNDED BY THE DIPSTICK TUBE. THE DIPSTICK SUSTAINED ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO THE AREAS WHERE IT CONTACTED THE BATTERY AND DIPSTICK TUBE. LUCKILY NOTHING CAUGHT FIRE DURING THIS INCIDENT, FOR MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I'M JUST PASSING MY EXPERIENCE ALONG. THANK YOU,

VEHICLE CONSUMES 1 QUART OF OIL EACH 1,200 MILES WHILE DRIVING IN CITY

ON DECEMBER 3, 2017, MY HUSBAND WAS PARKING OUR 2009 CAMRY ON A CITY STREET WHEN WE EXPERIENCED THE TERRIFYING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED THIS MODEL ' AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE FLOOR MAT AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL RECALLS. AS MY HUSBAND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE TO MOVE SLIGHTLY FORWARD IN THE PARKING SPACE, THERE WAS A LOW ROARING, RACING MOTOR-TYPE SOUND FROM THE GEAR BOX/TRANSMISSION AREA AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. BRAKING COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND IT DROVE INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF US. BECAUSE WE WERE MOVING AT LOW SPEED THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO EITHER CAR. BUT THERE WAS PERMANENT DAMAGE TO OUR TRUST IN THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF OUR 2009 CAMRY, WHICH WE VOWED NEVER TO DRIVE AGAIN. OUR OCCASIONAL PRIOR EXPERIENCES WITH THE CAR'S RACING MOTOR PROBLEMS HAD NEVER CAUSED US TO LOSE CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE, A FEW YEARS AGO WE HAD RACING ENGINE PROBLEM WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT AFTER COMING OFF A HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE. ON BOTH DECEMBER 2 AND DECEMBER 3, 2017, WE HAD A RACING MOTOR EXPERIENCE DURING PARKING WHEN WE WERE IN REVERSE BUT IT DID NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN EACH OF THESE INSTANCES WE WERE ABLE TO USE THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHO TOOK THE CAR AWAY WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HALF A BLOCK TO HIS TRUCK WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO PULL IT ALL THE WAY UP OR DOWN IMPEDING VISION

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY (2009 AROUND 84K MILES ON IT) AND YESTERDAY I NOTICED, THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN THE SPEED ODOMETER STOP WORKING AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON MANY SITES ,THERE IS A RECALL ONLY FOR TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID MODELS(HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CRO/NEWS/2014/07/WHY-TOYOTA-SHOULD-RECALL-THE-CAMRY-HYBRID/INDEX.HTM) NOT FOR OTHER MODELS AND THIS REPAIR COST WOULD GO UPTO 2700 $ WHICH IS 10% OF THE CAR COST . TILL NOW PEOPLE USED TO THINK TOYOTA IS A RELIABLE CAR BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS NOT WITH THESE TYPES OF APPROACH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED OIL RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAPLEWOOD TOYOTA (2873 MAPLEWOOD DR, MAPLEWOOD, MN 55109 (651) 482-1322) PRIOR TO THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE GASKET AND PISTONS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE UNDER TOYOTA'S WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A SALVAGE TITLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AFTER THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR OIL CONSUMPTION, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS A SALVAGE TITLE, TOYOTA STATED THAT IT WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WARRANTY ENHANCEMENTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.

MY CAR HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAD TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN AFTER DRIVING 150 MILES! ALSO ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK DOES NOT HAVE ANY GIVE, ITS TIGHT, SNAPS BACK TOO QUICKLY.

TRUNK LEAKS DURING HEAVY RAINSTORMS. THERE'S MILDEW IN THE TRUNK SPACE, WHICH IS INFILTRATING THE CABIN AND I'M BREATHING IT IN. I'M CERTAIN THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, BUT UNCERTAIN AS TO WHETHER IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BELONGINGS THAT WERE LEFT IN THE TRUNK HAVE BEEN SOAKED THROUGH. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE ON A PUBLIC STREET. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS, SO THE DATE LISTED BELOW AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENED IS NOT A PINPOINTED DATE.

I WAS TRAVEL ON THE BELT AROUND RICHMOND (295) HEADED SOUTH AT APPROX. 70 MPH AND THE BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY CRACKED OPEN. THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION LIKE SOUND GOING OFF AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY SUN ROOF. THIS OCCURRED ON 19 OCT 2017 @ 1800HRS. I LOOKED FOR A ROCK OR ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND NOTHING WAS FOUND.

TAKATA RECALL I NEVER GOT NOTICE THAT MY 209 CAMRY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG. WHEN CHECKING YOU SIGHT, THE ONLY PLACE I CAN GET IT REPLACED IS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY FROM Y HOME. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM SPARKS TOYOTA IN MYRTLE BEACH AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED THERE!

I BOUGHT 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM USED DEALER IN FEB 2016. I HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES BUT NOT LOSING ENGINE OIL. ON AUGUST 21ST TOOK THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE ADVISER ASKED IF MY CAR LOSE OIL. I SAID NO. THEN SAID WELL IF YOU DO LOSE OIL THEN BRING BACK AND WE WILL FIX FREE OF CHARGE. WITHIN FEW DAYS ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT SHOWED UP, TOOK TO THE SAME DEALER AND HE SAID DON'T WORRY IT WILL BE FIXED FREE. AFTER 3 WEEKS NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA, CALLED THEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY CANT REPAIR IT FREE AS ENGINE IS NOT ORIGINAL ON THE CAR. I SAID I HAVE NOW IDEA AS I BOUGHT USED, PLUS I NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE, THEY SABOTAGE MY CAR TO CREATE A WORK SO GET PAID BY THE TOYOTA CORP. THIS IS NOT FAIR TOYOTA HAVING SUCH REPUTATION. CAR HAS STILL TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE AND DRIVEN MILES 130K. IF TOYOTA WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, THERE WILL BE A COMPAIGN AGAINST TOYOTA FROM THE FIRST PLACE AS THIS CAR IS NO MORE RELIABLE.

MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND MELTING. THE STICKY DASHBOARD HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HARDLY SEE WHERE I'M GOING WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD SHINES IN MY FACE AND SOMETIMES BLINDS ME. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS PART OF THE ZE7- WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER AND WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 142,500 MILES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNDER 150,000 WHEN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS INITIATED IT STILL MET THE SERVICE GUIDELINES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INITIATE THE TEST WITH THE CAR STILL UNDER 150,000 MILES. DESPITE THE DEALER DID THE REPAIRS, THE OIL EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION STILL PRESENT. THE CAR HAS DIMINISHED VALUE DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE TO EITHER COVER THE REPAIR COST OR DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES CONSTANTLY CHECKING MY OIL TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T\'T RUN OUT AND COMPLETELY KILL THE ENGINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. INTERESTED IN CLASS ACTION?: YES

2 COMPLAINTS: 1. WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT SOMETIMES GET STUCK WHERE I HAVE TO PRESS EVEN HARDER AND THEN THE FRONT WHEELS START SPINNING TOO RAPIDLY. ONE TIME AT A SCHOOL CROSS WALK, THE PEDAL STUCK, I PUSHED HARDER AND FINALLY THE WHEELS ENGAGED BUT THE SCREECHING IT MADE, HAD THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD GIVING ME A "DIRTY" LOOK. 2. THE CAMRY IS GOING THROUGH OIL LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. WITHIN 5000 MILES I HAVE HAD TO ADD MORE THAN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. IT IS RIDICULOUS.

I'M AN OWNER OF A TOYOTA CAMRY 2009 MY NAME IS [XXX] I HAVE JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND I'M ASKING FOR HELP WITH THE OIL PROBLEM. I'M ADDING QUARTS OF OIL AND BEFORE THE MAINTENANCE DATE FOR AN OIL CHANGE I AM BEING TOLD THERE'S NO OIL IN YOUR ENGINE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE RPMS DECREASED AND WHITE SMOKE EMERGED FROM THE EXHAUST, WHICH TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SARASOTA IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA, BUT THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE PER MANUFACTURER'S ORDERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

ODO METER MALFUNCTION, ABS LIGHT,BRAKE LIGHT ON. AC NOT WORKING

STICK DASHBOARD THAT IS DETERIORATING AND CREATES GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ROADWAY. TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF RECALL AND I MISSED THE CUTOFF FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. NO TAKATA AIRBAG NOTICE OR ANY OTHER RECALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN SENT TO ME FROM TOYOTA

2009 CAMRY LE STARTED GOING THROUGH A QUART OF 5-20 SYNTHETIC OIL PER 1000 MILES. THE CAR IS EXCELLENTLY MAINTAINED AND THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED REGULARLY SINCE PURCHASE. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT 158,000 MILES (SEPT 2017). NICHOLE AT WOLFCHASE TOYOTA, GERMANTOWN, TN SAID THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT CONDUCT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST NOR FIX THE PROBLEM IF PROVEN IF THE CAR IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS OR OVER 150,000 MILES.

THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL MORE THAN NORMAL. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. ISSUE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED TO ME VIA MAIL OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF COMMUNICATION.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY AND REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO MELT. THERE IS A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT WILL NOT COME OFF. I ALSO HAVE TRIED CALLING TOYOTA BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY WHERE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY DASHBOARD REPLACED. IT ALSO CREATES A TERRIBLE GLARE IN THE DAY TIME AND IT OBSTRUCTS YOUR VISION. AT THIS POINT ITS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN WILL THEY REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS???

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2009 CAMRY, WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE CAR SALESPERSON TOLD ME IT'S JUST CLEANER, SO OF COURSE I BELIEVED THEM. ALTHOUGH, WHEN I GOT HOME I READ ALL ABOUT TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS COMPANY'S INTERIOR MANUFACTURING. THERE IS AN INTENSE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NOW ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACE

TAKATA RECALL 1) THE STICKYNESS OF THE DASHBOARD, AND (2) THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE THE DASHBOARD CREATES, AS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS HAD THE STICKY RESIDUE CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN DECISION MAKING WITH REFLECTION. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH HER SAFETY!WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2017 FROM A RETIRED OWNER.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AS IDENTIFIED BY TOYOTA. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE. I AM NOW OVER MILEAGE LIMIT BY 10K MILES. TOYOTA IS ONLY OFFERING ME $500 TOWARD A $3000 - 4000 REPAIR.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

DASHBOARD BEGINS TO MELT WHEN IN SUNLIGHT. WHEN HOT TO TOUCH, HANDS WILL STICK. FIRST NOTICED WHEN USING A NEW SUN VISOR. ALL WE DID WAS EXTEND THE VISOR TOWARDS BOTTOM OF WINDSHIELD AND PICKED UP SCRATCHES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

MY CAMRY BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY. I TOOK THEIR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME I PASSED YET BEFORE 2500 MILES I HAD LITTLE TO NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. MY SISTER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM YET ON THE 5TH TIME THEY REPLACED HER ENGINE NOW THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY STANDARDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER BEING OPERATED AT 50 MPH. THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THEY SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT STATED UPON INSPECTION THEY SAW RED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY DE-POWERED THE VEHICLE AND EXITED IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEEING THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CITY WORLD TOYOTA DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN MAY 2011 AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, I NOTICED THE OIL BURNING FASTER THAN USUAL YET THERE WERE NO LEAKS. THIS WAS MY SECOND CAMRY WHICH MY FIRST I OWNED FOR 12 YEARS (ALSO OWNED A SCION SO 3RD TOYOTA CAR PURCHASED) AND NO ISSUES SO I KNEW THIS WAS NOT NORMAL. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS AND TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL. FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF HAVING TO GET CONSTANT OIL CHANGES AND PURCHASING EXTRA GALLONS OF OIL TO REFILL EVERY 1K MILES OR LESS, I GOT A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ON MARCH 2016 AND AFTER TAKING IT IN FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, MY CAR FAILED MISERABLY AND IT WAS ADDED TO THE LIST. MY CAR WAS FIXED ON JANUARY 2017 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE OIL THAT I HAD TO ADD BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT. I SUBMITTED ALL RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY REQUESTED ON MARCH 2017 AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND FOR MONTHS. ALTHOUGH EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF PROOF WAS SUBMITTED, THEY WOULD DENY THE REQUESTS. I KEPT CALLING AND SPEAKING TO DIFFERENT REPS, FAXED/EMAILED DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS SENT LETTERS THROUGH CERTIFIED MAIL. FINALLY ON JULY 1, 2017, THEY DECIDED TO ONLY PAY $500 WHEN THE TOTAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES SINCE 2012 WAS $1,558.08. THEIR REASONING WAS THAT THEY WERE ONLY PAYING FOR ANY EXTRA OIL USED BETWEEN MARCH 2016 UNTIL JANUARY 2017. THIS IS NOT OK BECAUSE I STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN 2012 AND THE ISSUE WAS FOUND IN 2011 YET THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME UNTIL MARCH 2016. THEY SHOULD HAVE HONORED WHAT THEIR ORIGINAL

WATER PUMP WAS MAKING LOUD NOISE DUE TO POOR ASSEMBLY LINE SUPPLIED FROM TOYOTA VENDER FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL DUE TO PLAY IN PULLY /SHAFT /BEARING,FINALY WATER PUMP STOPS WORKING,IF CAR IS IN MOTION,THERE IS CHANCE OF GETTING HOT AND CATCHING FIRE.THIS HAPPENED AT 33807 MILES ON ODOMETER.I ALSO SEARCHED GOOGLE LOTS OF PEOPLE REPORTED ISSUE WITH WATER PUMP RANGING MILEAGE BETWEEN 33000 TO 45000 ON ODOMETER FOR THIS 2009 TOYOTA LE 4 CYL 2.4L AUTOMATIC ENGINE OF THIS SPECIFIC MODEL ONLY

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGH-SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. ON JUNE 22, 2017 AT ~ 9:05 AM I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON MA RTE 128 IN LEFT PASSING LANE JUST BEYOND THE MANCHESTER EXITS. I WAS IN THE LEFT-HAND LANE IN A CLUSTER OF CARS TRAVELING AT 65-70 MPH. I WAS TRAVELING ~ 70 MPH PASSING THE VEHICLES ON THE RIGHT. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME IN THE LEFT-HAND LANE, THE CLOSEST APPROXIMATELY 40-50 FT BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY I HEARD A EXPLOSION UNDER MY CAR. IMMEDIATELY CLOUDS OF A SMOKE-LIKE VAPOR POURED FORTH FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR, FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND A RACKET FROM UNDER THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY THREW ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND SOMEHOW MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF RT. 128 WITHOUT A COLLISION. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. FROM ALL THAT I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE FAILURE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY TRANSMISSION, YET I HAD IT SERVICED, INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE, AT IRA TOYOTA IN DANVERS MA ~ 6 MONTHS AGO. I HAD NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK IN MARCH, 2017. THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME WAS A BMW SUV. ABOUT ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER THE BMW BURST INTO FLAMES CAUSING FIRE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE BMW HAS CLOSED THE CLAIM SAYING THE FIRE WAS NOT INTENTIONAL THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT PAYING ANYTHING FOR MY CLAIM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS PAYING FOR REPAIRS TO MY CAR, HOWEVER, I HAVE TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE AND COST OF A RENTAL CAR. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I SAW SEVERAL NEWS REPORTS OF BMW'S BURSTING INTO FLAMES AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE. THEY SAID I WAS 0% AT FAULT (OBVIOUSLY), BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS INCIDENT. ALL I DID WAS PARK MY CAR; MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL SEVERAL INCIDENTS ARE FAR TOO MANY FOR BMW TO IGNORE. THEY CERTAINLY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN I DO. I HAVE PHOTOS, VIDEO, ETC.

DASHBOARD MELTING PRODUCING STICKINESS AND A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WANT REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNLESS USING 1 QTR PER 1000 MILES. IF A CAR WAS USING THAT MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THERE WOULD BE NO OIL FOR IT TO RUN ON. IF THE OIL IS DEPLETED FROM THE MOTOR ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOCKS UP, ACCIDENTS WILL BE CAUSED. MY CAR IS USING SEVERAL QTRS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

ENGINE BURNS APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 500 MILES. GENERAL TOYOTA OF TOMS RIVER STATED THAT OIL CONSUMPTION ON THE ENGINE IS WITHIN ALLOWANCE AND REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT 142000 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THIS DEALER WITH NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK, AND IGNORED.

FAST WEARING TIRES, UNDER 22,000 MILES AND DEALER SAYS I NEED NEW TIRES.I FULLY EXPECTED CLOSER TO 40,000 MILES AS STANDARD TODAY. DEALER SAYS TREADS ARE "4/32 ALL AROUND".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL LEAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BENNETT TOYOTA LOCATED AT 1951 LEHIGH ST, ALLENTOWN, PA 18103; (610) 437-6711), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2.4 IN 2011 AND LAST YEAR I STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WITH DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR, IT STARTED NOT TO STAY COMPLETE CLOSED AND STARTED TO STAY OPEN, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR IT, NOW I AM TRYING TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECALL OR MANUFACTURER FAULT.
