2009 Toyota Camry complaints

I RECEIVED 1ST NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR REGARDING FACTORY WARANTY EXTENSION BECAUSE OF STICKY DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED 2ND NOTICE LAST SPRING AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTO SERVICE AND VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DASHBOARD NEED TO BE REPKACED. THE PUT THE LINE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY ME. IT WAS APRIL 2016. WHEN I CALLED SEVICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THEY SAID IT BACK ORDER AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEN I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTO MOTOR CUSTEMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY ORDER WAS IN THE LINE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL BE IN SERVICE. I SAID OK. TWO DATS AGO I CALLED TOUOTO MOTOR AND ASK WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DELIVERED. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS BACK ORDER. THEY SAID I AM GOING TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED TO TALK THEIR MANEGER . THEY SAID THEIR MABAGER WILL CALL ME. TODAY I HAVE RECEIVED CALL. SHE REPEATED SAME THINGS. IT IS BACKORDER THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE REPLACED. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED NOW. I DON'T THING THAT THEY HAVE PLAN TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMER. THEY JUST ACT LIKE THEY TAKING CARE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IF COURT ORDER. I SEARCGED MANY TOYOTO OWNER ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTO SERVICES CALL THEM FIR DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ACTION. GOVERMENT OFFICES MYST START INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFY WHAT ACTION AND HOW MANY CARS DASHBOARD PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SOLVED AFTER THE COURT ORDER. IT WAS SAFETY PROBLEM AND MY GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUSH TOYOTO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE COURT, THE FEDERA

AT START UP THE GAUGES STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY, AFTER A WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEY START WORKING FINE AFTER A FEW MILES THEY START JUMPING AND FALLING. BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS COMES ON AND AC QUITS WORKING WE HAVEN T DRIVE THE CAR SINCE THIS STARTED HAPPENING CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE TO SERVICE, BEFORE THAT I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A RECALL FOR THAT. ON THE LAST SERVICE MADE BY TOYOTA DEALER, THEY WASHED THE ENGINE, A PRACTICE THAT I AM NOT AGREE, DOES THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE? LET ME KNOW, THANKS *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT'S A 2009, BUT PURCHASED IN 2008. FINALLY GOT MY DASHBOARD REPLACED LAST WEEK ALF ASKED ABOUT THE VISOR. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WON'T FIX IT SINCE ITS PASSED THE WARRANTY TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT SINCE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH IT DOWN ALL THE TIME. I'VE LOVED MY CAMRY, BUT TO SPEND OVER $100 TO FIX THE VISOR IS STEEP.

2 YEAR WAIT FOR A RECALLED DASHBOARD. THIS IS ABSURD. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 3 TOYOTA'S AND THIS ONE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT. SURELY, THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAN GET THIS FIX DONE. PLEASE CALL ME, 772-924-5022.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 33 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS DISTRACTED AND DROVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT. THE CONTACT BROADSIDED A VEHICLE. THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO THE INSURANCE LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. ..UPDATED 10/13/16 *BF.. ..UPDATED 10/28/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE RECEIVED A CONCUSSION AND LACERATIONS FOR WHICH SHE WAS TREATED AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM. UPDATED 09/18/2017*JS *TR

AROUND 140,000 MILES (3-1-15) I NOTICED THAT I WAS STARING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT HAS BECOME WORSE WITH TIME (AND MILEAGE). I NOW (9-12-16) NEED TO CHECK AND ADD OIL AT LEAST EVERY THREE WEEKS.

STICKY DASHBOARD. NOTICED 2 MONTHS AGO THAT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS STICKY/GUMMY. I HAVE DEPOSIT ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. COULD THE TWO BE CONNECTED.

STICKY/DETERIORATING DASHBOARD. VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2009 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED AT A CAR WASH. SPRAY PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO PRESERVE VINYL HAVE NEVER BEEN APPLIED. NOTICED WEEK OF 9/1/2016 THAT THE DASHBOARD BENEATH THE WINDSHIELD IS GUMMY. PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, WE HAD BEEN FIGHTING A STRANGE DEPOSIT ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WE BELIEVE IT WAS OFF GASSING OF THE CHEMICALLY CHANGING DASHBOARD.

STICKY DASHBOARD. DEPREACIATED VALUE TO TRY TO SEEL. WHO WOULD WANT IT. FEEL STUCK. FRUSTRATED. STICKY DASHBOARD CAUSING GLARE ON WINDOW THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT SUNNY OUT.FEEL CHEATED BY TOYOTA. I HAVE BOUGHT TOYOTAS FOR THE LAST THREE CARS. NOT AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T SELL IT OR EVEN TRADE IT WITHOUT TAKING A LOST ON THE VALUE AND ITS THEIR FAULT NOT MIND. I FEEL TAKEN, SCREWED AND WANT SOMETHING DONE.

ABS, A/C, AND SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE/ACTUATOR FOR A COST OF $2,156.65! CAR ONLY HAD BEEN DRIVEN 71,779 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. TOYOTA WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DIDN"T HAVE THE REPAIR WORK DONE AT A DEALER EVEN THOUGH THE PART WAS OBTAINED FROM THE DEALER.

ON 06-21-2016, WE TOOK OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE TO WONDRIES TOYOTA IN ALHAMBRA CA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST UNDER THE ENHANCEMENT WARRANTY (ZE7). WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (WHICH HAD 61088 MILES) FOR APPROXIMATELY 1100-1300 MILES THEN BRING IT BACK IN FOR THE RE-INSPECTION. ON 08-29-2016, WE BROUGHT OUR CAMRY BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 62330 MILES ON IT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT FAIL THE TEST. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY USED UP "A 1/4 OF A QUART OF OIL" AND IN ORDER TO FAIL THE TEST IT WOULD'VE NEEDED TO BURN "A QUART OF OIL" IN THE GIVEN AMOUNT OF MILES. I ASK THE SERVICE ADVISOR IF IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO HAVE BLUEISH COLOR SMOKE COME OUT OF THE TAILPIPE EVERY MORNING. HE STATED NO. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED "YOU WOULD NEED TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY 1200 MILES TO ADD OIL". I ASKED HIM IT WAS NORMAL FOR ME TO HAVE TO CHECK AND ADD OIL TO THIS VEHICLE. HE STATED NO. I STATED IF I FOLLOW THE TOYOTA OIL CHANGE GUIDELINE (CHANGING OIL EVERY 5000-7000 MILES) THEN MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE LOST 1-11/2 QUART OF OIL PRIOR TO THE OIL CHANGE. HE STATED YES. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE THAT DRIVES THE VEHICLE AND NOW SHE RUNS THE REST OF THE MOTOR STOPPING ON HER BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HE STATED THERE WAS NOTHING HE CAN DO SO I NEED TO CONTACT TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE DURING DRIVING . UPON INSPECTION I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR. I ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS PINK POWDER RESIDUE ON THE ENGINE NEAR THE SERPENTINE BELT WHERE THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED . DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE CARS BUILT FROM 2007-2009 CAMRYS HAD THE SAME ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. SOME CARS HAD 10,000 MILES OR LESS WITH THE PROBLEM. ALSO FOUND OUT TOYOTA REPLACED THE WATER PUMPS ON THESE CAMRYS WITH A WATERPUMP BUILT FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH COOLANT AND TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID INDEED THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT HAD EXPIRED. THERE WOULD BE NO COOLANT LEAKING UNDER THE CAR. DURING MANY OF THE OIL CHANGES THE TOYOTA TECHNICIANS WOULD ADD COOLANT AND TOP IT OFF AND NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THE WATER PUMP LEAKING . I ONLY FOUND OUT BECAUSE I SAW THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AND STARTED LOOKING FOR A LEAK. I BELIEVE TOYOTA KNEW THESE WATER PUMPS WERE DEFECTIVE , AND ONLY CHANGED IT FOR PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS UNDER WARRANTY WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER OF THE WATER PUMP FREE OF CHARGE . ENGINES WITHOUT COOLANT CAN GET HOT AND CATCH FIRE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE OF DEFECTIVE WATER PUMPS.

EVERY TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3000 MILES SOMETIMES EVEN A LITTLE EARLIER), I AM TOLD MY OIL IS LOW OR DIRTY OR BOTH. THIS LAST TIME I TOOK IT I WAS TOLD I WAS LOW TWO QUARTS OF OIL AND I DIDN'T EVEN HIT 3,000 MILES YET. I WAS TOLD NEXT TIME IF IT WAS LOW I MIGHT HAVE TO DO A COMPLETE ENGINE FLUSH. I DECIDED TO GET A FEW MORE OPINIONS BEFORE GOING FORWARD WITH ANY WORK. I WAS TOLD BY A MAN AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, THAT IT SOUNDED SIMILAR TO AN ISSUE ANOTHER PERSON HE KNOWS HAD WHICH ENDED UP BEING A RECALL FOR THAT PERSONS CAR. I WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP I GOT MY CAR FROM AND CHECK WITH THEM FOR A RECALL. I CALLED AND RECEIVED NEWS THAT THERE WAS A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK IT IN TO GET THE FIRST STEP OF THE TEST DONE WHICH CONSISTED OF MAKING SURE THERE WASN'T AN OIL LEAK AND SINCE THERE WASN'T THEY TOPPED OFF MY OIL THEN APPLIED MARKERS TO MY DIP STICK AND OTHER PLACES SO THEY CAN MEASURE HOW MUCH MY OIL WENT DOWN AFTER ONLY 1200 MILES. WHEN I RETURNED AFTER THE 1200 MILES THEY CHECKED THE LEVELS AGAIN AND SAW OBVIOUSLY MY ENGINE BURNED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL SINCE THEY LAST CHECKED IT. THEY ADDED A QUART OF OIL BACK INTO MY CAR WHEN I RETURNED AND SINCE IT WAS LITTLE ABOVE FULL AFTER THEY ADDED THE QUART, THEY SAID MY CAR PASSED THE TEST AND THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR BURNED OIL IT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DO ANY WORK TO MY CAR. BASICALLY TELLING ME THAT ITS $5,000 TO FIX AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL I

THE ABS LIGHT AND THE RED BOLD BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OFF AND THE NEXT DAY THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK, AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I DRIVE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEN CHECKED THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND READ IT'S THE ABS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING FOR THE CAR.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMPLE OIL/FILTER CHANGE ON JULY 7, 2016. I WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP HAD LEAK AND REQUIRING THE PUMP TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED TO PAY ABOUT $530 TO GET A NEW WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT. I DID LOOK UP THE SIMILAR PROBLEM RELATED TO 2009 CAMRY. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN MILEAGE. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE CASES REPORTED AND SUPPOSEDLY TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS/PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE LOCAL MARIETTA DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA RIPPING ME OFF OR NOT. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE OLD WATER PUMP TO BE RETURNED TO ME AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE. I DID NOT SEE THE LEAK AT ALL IN MY GARAGE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF THERE WAS UNANNOUNCED RECALL FROM TOYOTA, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR MY WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT BILL.

I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AT THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING TO GO OUT FOR DINNER WITH MY FRIENDS, I RELEASE THE BRAKES AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTED UP THEN DISAPPEARED BRIEFLY WHEN I PUT IT IN FORWARD. AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE HOTEL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WAS LIGHTED AGAIN. THEN AS I PROCEED TO GET ON THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH WARNING CHECK VSC SYSTEM. (THE HOTEL TO THE FREEWAY RAMP WAS A BLOCK AWAY) I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE FOR SEVERAL MILES ON THE 580, BECAUSE I NOTICED THE BRAKES FELT WEIRD. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD REMAINED LIGHTED. THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT FOR MY BRAKES WERE ON INDICATING THE BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASED, BUT IT WAS. AT THIS POINT I WAS TENSED AND SCARED AS I DROVE ON THE 580 FREEWAY. I EXITED OFF THE FREEWAY SLOWER THAN NORMAL AND I WOULD PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKES LIGHTLY AND IT WOULD JERK AND ROCK. IT WOULD BOUNCE MYSELF AND FRIENDS IN A ROCKING MOTION. WE WERE ALL SCARED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES AS IT ROCKED. I WAS NOT PLAYING WITH THE BRAKES. MY FRIEND SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, CONFIRMED TO MY FRIEND SITTING IN THE BACK I WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THE BRAKES AS WE ROCKED WHILE DRIVING OR AT THE STOP SIGNS. I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE STREETS DUE TO I WAS AFRAID I MIGHT REAR END SOMEONE. EVERY TIME I MADE THE STOP IT WOULD ROCK. SO FROM THE RESTAURANT TO THE HOTEL I DROVE THE STREETS AND STAYED OFF THE FREEWAY. THE "CHECK

OUR DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOMES EXTREMELY FLOPPY LATELY. WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODELS SIMILAR TO OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT'S BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND IT'S A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, AND NOT ONE HAS A VISOR ISSUE, PLEASE HELP!!!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. BURNS 1 QUART WITHIN 1,500 OF MILLAGE USE. MY CURRENT CAR MILLAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS SHOWN THROUGH LARGE PUFFS OF BLACK SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST, UPON IGNITION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A "NORMAL" SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING.

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH THE HYBRID MODEL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY TOYOTA

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR MELTS IN THE HEAT/HUMIDITY AND ALSO CAUSES A BRIGHT REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS SUNNY

MY CAR CONSUMES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I NEED TO ADD OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. TOYOTA HAS CONDUCTED 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND TELLS ME THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL.

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL, IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL, IT IS BURNING OIL ABNORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS FINE AND BURNING OIL AS IT SHOULD FOR AGE OF THE CAR. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME DIFFERENT. HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HOW IT IS BURNING THE OIL SO QUICKLY.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY , AFTER HAVING IT FOR THREE YEARS THE SUN VISORS FELL APART THEY STARTED TEARING APART LITERALLY.. THEN THEY FELL OFF ON THERE OWN . I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY OR RECALL HAD JUST EXPIRED I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH ..

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. ONLY 1 LITER OF ENGINE OIL CAME OUT DURING MY LAST ENGINE OIL CHANGE AT 65,000 MILES EVEN AFTER I PUT IN A LITER AT 64,500 MILES BECAUSE THE RED LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK TO SEE THAT ALMOST NO ENGINE OIL WAS IN MY CAR. I'M CURRENTLY AT 67,000 MILES AND THE RED LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, SO I ADDED ONE MORE LITER OF ENGINE OIL AFTER CHECKING THE DIPSTICK AND PRACTICALLY NOTHING REGISTERED. I NEED TO GET IT FIXED, BUT THE TOYOTA DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR/VIN, SO I CAN'T GET THE NECESSARY PARTS EVEN IF THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK. I CALLED THE 1-888-270-9371 TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE'S NOTHING SHE COULD DO. WOULD LIKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY ENGINE BLOWS UP.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L WHILE STATIONED IN GERMANY, IT WAS MANUFACTURED TO US SPECIFICATIONS AND I BROUGHT IT STATESIDE WITH ME. I RAN MY VIN IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE TO FIND OUT IF THE AIR BAG OR "STICKY" DASH BOARD RECALLS APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. MY VIN DID NOT REGISTER IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY RAN MY VIN, THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT VISIBLE IN THEIR DATABASE. THE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN, I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA IN JAPAN OR GERMANY FOR RECALL INFORMATION AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE US. DOES TOYOTA NOT HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED PROPERLY AND WITH QUALITY MATERIALS TO ENSURE ITS SAFE OPERATION?

THE SUN VISOR FELL IN A PERFECT POSITION BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION I HAD TO STOP TO ADJUST, THE VISOR IT FALLS ALL THE TIME TOYOTA REFUSED TO REPAIR OR FIX IT.

HELLO MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTED. ALSO MY SUNROOF DOESN'T CLOSE ALL THE WAY WHICH CAUSES RAIN TO COME IN I PURCHASED IT LIKE THAT.

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. DURING MY LAST REGULAR OIL CHANGE, THE DIP STICK WAS DRY. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT AND HE ASSURED ME IT WAS. I BEGAN GOOGLING THE ISSUE AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. IT IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

STARTING IN 2013 I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OIL USAGE. OF COURSE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RANDOM ISSUE AND NOT HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES. MY ENGINE BLOW IN JAN 2014. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND AUGUST OF 2015 I GET A LETTER ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR THE TEST, OF COURSE MY ENGINE FAILED THE TEST. WE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACE IN SEPT 2015. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AND IT HAD A ENGINE NOISE WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS NORMAL. IN FEB 2016 MY ENGINE BLEW AGAIN !! I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOTHING WRONG !! HOW ?? IT WAS FINE, JUST USING OIL UP UNTIL THEY TOOK IT APART AND FIXED THE PROBLEM !! NOW THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR !! BUT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND THEY DID NOTHING THEN EITHER !! SO I HAVE A CAR SITTING IN STORAGE THAT CANT BE DRIVEN AND THEY WANT TO NOTHING !!

ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,2016 I GOT OUT OF MY CAR,OPENED THE TRUNK, TOOK SOME THINGS OUT, TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT BOUNCED UP. I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK LOCK PAD WOULD NOT LOCK, I WAS TOLD TO ORDER A DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR INTEGRATED WITH A LATCH. RECEIVED IT, PUT IT ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING.
