The Camry is experiencing oil burning intake Manifold. On 14JUL22 at 163,286 miles the red light oil can drip light comes on and off in my dashboard. I take to Toyota of Freeman, they do the oil change and that is it. Then, at 168,786miles, within 4 months the red oil can drip light on my dashboard light comes on again. I go back to Toyota of Freeman the service rep. tells me that this problem will cost me between $3,500-$4,000. I went to another mechanic that is certified by Toyota and he said the problems is Piston Oil Ring needs to be replace. He called all the Toyota Parts looking for the Piston oil ring that is for the oil consumption. He stated nobody has it. In the meanwhile, every 1,000 to 3,000 miles my car runs, I have to check the oil stick not to burn all the way, because the engine will catch on fire. This is a very big safety issue that needs to be looked at. When I purchase Toyota, I went base on that this car will last up 250,000 like all of my Toyota cars had lasted in my past. I called Toyota HDQ and they is no recall for this issue but yes for Camry Hybrid 2007-2011 and a different engine. As i was doing my research in YouTube.com It seems there are more Camry with this same issue. This is a safety issue, if I ever forget to check my oil stick to see if I still have oil the car will get on fire. I believe Toyota has a manufacturing issue with the Piston Oil Ring not being available to repair the issue. This is high risk situation. They need to supply the pa

I have had a sticky dash causing excessive glare on my windshield for years. I recently received a recall notice for my 2011 toyota camry about the paint. I asked them while I was there if anything could be done about the dash as well and was informed that there was a recall on the dash, but it was expired. However, I was never notified by mail or phone or email that there was a recall on the dash until it was expired.

Research informed me Toyota had a recall which had Expired. I knew nothing about the Recall but regardless they know it’s a problem but quoted me a price of $231.69‼️ to repair/replace. Why is Toyota allowed to punish customers for their malfunctioning issues. It’s frustrating and insulting. Please help

I am having an issue with a sticky melting dashboard in my 2011 Camry. I recently noticed this as I was driving and there is this glare that puts me and my family at risk every day. I bought my Camry brand new in 2011 for which I paid 32k for it and now I am being left with a dangerous dashboard. Toyota should be forced to help its costumers .

My dashboard on my 2011 Camry has recently started melting & is extremely sticky. One spot on the driver's side is really bad & causing a glare on my windshield. I am very concerned this is going to cause visibility issues while driving. This is a clear defect. After doing extensive research to figure out why this is happening & what to do, I called my local dealership on 7-22-22, then called Toyota Corp same day. They refused to do anything to help me! The rep told me an extended warranty was offered for various Toyota models due to sticky dashboards including my car, but that mine expired May 2021. When I told her I never received anything in the mail, she replied they only send out notices for recalls & this wasn't a recall. She suggested to get an estimate from my local dealership, then call back, but that they still couldn't cover the repair. I asked to speak with a Supervisor, but no one ever answered. The rep told me a supervisor would call me back within 24 hours...4 days later...still nothing. This is absolutely ridiculous that Toyota would expect me to repair this obvious manufacturing defect out of my pocket! My dash is ugly & dangerous! This is my third Toyota & I always recommend Toyota vehicles to friends/ family. I was getting ready to purchase another Toyota, but I'm so disappointed in Toyota that I'm seriously reconsidering. I can't believe they don't seem to care about their customers anymore than this.

My 2011 Toyota Camry is using too much oil. I am the original owner and have always kept up with the oil changes. The car only has 76,822 miles. The first thing I noticed when I started my car up was lights on dashboard stayed on a few seconds longer than normal which the oil light was one of them. It was not due for an oil change yet but I decided to take the car in to see if the oil needed topped off. The oil didn't register on the dipstick. They had to add 2 qts. of oil. After I put 750 mi. more on my car, it started sounding louder. I took it back in to have the oil checked again, this time it was a quart low. I have these receipts with the mileage on them. I'm seeing other people have these same complaints. I bought this car because I thought it would be dependable. This is an issue I believe Toyota is aware of and they should have to do a recall on this. This is low miles for this car and I shouldn't be having this major of an issue.

Sunroof randomly exploded. I was driving approximately 40mph down a city road on 5/18/22 and the sunroof exploded dropping a 4x8 inches worth of glass shards and fracturing the rest of the glass. There was no debris, rough driving conditions or unlevel road when it happened. I was relatively safe when it happened as there was not any traffic, but if it were on the highway in traffic it could have caused issue. I have not done any inspections by manufacturer, insurance, etc. I was not sure how accountability works with it breaking for no reason, so I was just planning to buy a used sunroof and replacing it. There were no warning, just a random bang when it exploded.

I was involved in a traffic accident on Route 10 in California on February 27 and I hit the back of a large truck. My driving speed was 73mph and the impact speed was 33mph. The air bag of the vehicle deployed at the time, causing my right eyeball to rupture and permanently blind me. There was no damage to my face except for the right eye. My body didn't suffer any harm either. I looked up a lot of information and combined the results of the hospital diagnosis. I suspect a defect in the air bag caused my injury. And I found on the news that there have been many similar cases of airbags used by Toyota, which were accidental injuries caused by defective airbags. I would like your help to find out as soon as possible if my right eye is damaged due to a defective air bag from Toyota. I am driving a 2011 toyota, camry. Looking forward to your reply.

Driver side visor fell down. It has a faulty plastic bracket. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, Toyota issued a recall and replaced the broken visor. However, the same problem has occurred with the replacement visor. It is a safety issue as it can be difficult to drive in the sun without a visor.

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry with 72,000 miles on it. The dashboard has a melting issue where it leaves a residue on anything it comes in contact with and is sticky. The major safety issue is the glare that reflects onto the windshield while driving and interferes with visibility. I prior owner, an elderly gentleman, was unaware of any recalls/repairs that Toyota was providing. I called Toyota and they said that they are aware of this issue but cannot repair or provide reimbursements for repairs because there is no recall for their dashboard.

Toyota told me that they issued a notice on this, offering to replace the dashboard, but the offer has expired. I believe this situation is a driving hazard and Toyota should be required to replace the dashboard at this later date..

UNKNOWN Dashborad on my Toyota is very sticky and Toyota customer service told me that there was a recall back in April 2018 and it expired in Dec 2020. They mailed me a notice but I never recieved that noticed. Because during the same time I sold my property and moved to TEXAS from California. May be that is why I did not recieved that noticed. So now my concern is What causing the dashboard to be sticky? Is there any chemical that causing the dashboard to be sticky and how it may effect if somebody's health if he is keep driving the car with sticky dashboard? Is there any way to get recall details of why the dashboard is sticky? Toyota don't want to answere any of these questions.The only thing they told me that "It was not a safety recall, it was a part of customer support program". How they decide that it was not a safety issue? Have they done any investigation and proof that it is not a safety issue? If they did then why can't they give that information to customer? So I will please request NHTSA to investigate this sticky dashboard issue to make sure there is no health safety issue. Otherwise I will be putting my and my family health on risk. If there is any health issue due to any chemical in dashboard which cause it to be sticky then this recall should have been mandotary which usually don't have any expiry. I will appreciate your cooperation and any information regarding the recall regarding this sticky dashboard and how it effect on somebody health. thanks

-The dashboard has become very sticky and shiny and started to chip off. I noticed this after having my tire repaired the worker placed a number tag on top of dashboard and half of it was still stuck to it. When I pulled it off a couple of chunks of the dashboard came off with it. -I had noticed the dashboard was super shiny and reflected pretty bad on my windshield making it hard to see clearly while driving. I am also started noticing a weird smell when I get in my car. Like a vinegar smell. So I am also concern about inhaling any bad fumes that the melting dashboard may be emitting. -I called Toyota in Redlands about the dashboard they said Camry’s 2011 models had had issues with the dashboard and that there had been a customer support program that were fixing the dashboard and had been extended twice but I missed the last extension by a month. I had never received a notice that there was an issue with the dashboards. Supposedly Toyota sent the extended warranty in 2018. - I did inform the Toyota in Claremont after my tire service that the dashboard had been damaged after someone placed a number tag on it and they sent over a person who fixes dashboard and he was the one who also notified me that the dashboards were having an issue with the stickiness. That they had some type of recall. He ended up coming by to fix the areas that were pulled off from the paper number tag and was able to cover up the shine on the drivers side. There are still some areas that need to be fill

I have a defective 'shiny' dashboard on my 2011 Toyota Camry. Apparently a recall was issued by Toyota but this was not an active campaign. The dash is so shiny that on bright days the reflection of the sun onto the front windshield is concerning. A friend recently told me about the recall but when I took the car to my local Toyota dealer I was told the recall campaign for my vehicle expired earlier in 2021. So, I want to lodge a complaint on the basis that while my Toyota dealer routinely sends me mail asking to buy back my 2011 Camry they never once told me about the recall. Clearly the dealer knows my address and many details about the vehicle I purchased from them but still they avoided telling me about my participation in the shiny dash recall.

NO LEAKS WERE FOUND, OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. THE FIRST CHECK UP OIL WAS ADDED BY THE TECHNICIAN (II WAS NOT TOLD HOW MUCH) AND I WAS ASKED TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO ADD OIL IF NEEDED. WHEN I RETURNED FOR THIS CHECK, UP, I LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN THE CHECK UPS. WHEN THE CSR RETURNED HE SAID WE WERE ALL SET. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED WAS "WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ". I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT! THEY SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE. I CAN HEAR THE TAPPING NOISES FROM THE PISTONS IN MY ENGINE ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OIL. MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND STARTS ACTING SLUGGISH ETC...THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE!
