2011 Toyota Camry complaints

MAJORITY OF DASH HAS A THICK, STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD VERY DIFFICULT.

PASSENGER SIDE SHADE VISOR SAGGED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2011 CAMRY SE, SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 2007 CAMRY SE AND A RECALL FIXED THAT. WHY IS THIS 2011 CAMRY TO BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA AS WAS THE 2007? ALSO, THE SUN ROOF HAS BEEN NOISY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AUG 31, 2010. WHY IS THAT NOT RECALLED.? AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES? *TR

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND BECOME STICKY. IT CAUSES A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN SUNNY CONDITIONS.

ON MARCH 18, 2020 I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A STEEP GRADE DURING A WINTER STORM AND WAS PART OF AN ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED HITTING THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT AND SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF DAMAGE. LUCKILY I RECEIVED NO INJURIES BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND THEY DID NOT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD IN A LOT IN CASE IT NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED. TOYOTA HAS STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS THE EDR.

WELL OUT OF NO WHERE MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT CUT OFF. I WAS TOLD IT S A AIRBAG RECALL

MY ENGINE STALLS AT DIFFERENT POINTS WHETHER I'M ACCELERATING AND SPECIALLY WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE JULY 2018 AND IT HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE HAD IT.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.

SEATBELT DON'T WORK ON DRIVER SEAT FRONT IT WANT CLICK THAT'S A SAFETY HAZARD

WHILE PARKING, SUDDEN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. LOUD RACING ENGINE. HIT CAR IN FRONT BOUNCED TURNED WHEEL LEFT , HIT WALL NYCPD REPORT 2020 020 000032. CAR TOWED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. UNABLE TO CONTROL ENGINE SPEED (RACING ENGINE NEVER OCCURRED 20 YEARS CAMRY DRIVING ) BWAY 82-81 ST MANH AUTO SHIFT 4 CY

CAR PARKED, ENGINE OFF, WHILE CHECKING FLUIDS, THE HOOD SUPPORT LINKS FAILED AND THE HOOD HIT ME IN THE HEAD. VIA TELEPHONE, TOYOTA REP @ HEADQUARTERS SAID THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL BLAH BLAH BLAH. UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING 9 YEARS OLD, THESE PARTS ARE NEVER USED AND SHOULD FUNCTION. HOW OFTEN IS THE HOOD OPENED? VERY RARELY. FAULTY DESIGN PERHAPS OR MY IGNORANCE? THANK YOU.

MY CAR IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL . I ASKED MY MECHANIC HE TOLD ME THERE IS PROBLEM OF ALL 2011 TOYOTA ( IT BURNING TOO MUCH OIL)

MY VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS, BUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS SUBSTANTIAL. HAS TO ADD ABOUT 1 QUART AND A HALF EVERY 700 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD AS THE RPMS REVVED EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL STRUCK THE CURB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 15-20 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

VERY BAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. TRANSMISSION IN LOWER GEARS HAVE MAJOR ISSUES. SHIFTS VERY HARD AND LATE.

I WAS NOT SENT ANY NOTICE OF THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING UP 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRYS. INSTEAD, OUR SUN VISOR LOST RESISTANCE IN 9/2019 AND STARTED OBSTRUCTING OUR VISIBILITY AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SUN VISOR WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP, BUT HANG ~2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND PRINTED OUT THE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT TOYOTA NEVER INFORMED US OF THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE VISOR CLIPS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME -WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO MANY. WE ARE BEING TOLD TO REPLACE AND REPAIR IT OURSELVES FOR $195 THOUGH THEY AGREED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS THE CLIPS ARE DEFECTIVE. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CORDIAL BUT SAID IT WAS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND A TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS DECISION. PLEASE LOOK AT THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.TOYOHEADQUARTERS.COM/THREADS/2007-2011-TOYOTA-CAMRY-AND-CAMRY-HYBRID-SUN-VISOR-WARRANTY-EXTENSION-ZTT.114/PAGE-5 HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2011/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SUN_VISOR_WILL_NOT_STAY_UP.SHTML I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS IN THE WRONG AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIX ALL FAULTY CLIPS ESPECIALLY WHEN BLOCKING YOUR VISIBILITY. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OTHER DRIVERS IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING. I COULD NOT SEE SAFETY SIGNS WHEN TURNING, ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS, I HAD TO RIP OFF THE LEFT SIDE SUN VISOR OUT OF CONCERN AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR.

ON TWO OCCASIONS (AUGUST 2019 AND OCTOBER 27, 2019) WHEN PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY I EXPERIENCED UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION BY THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR RAMMED INTO A POST ON MY HOUSE AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FRACTURING MY STERNUM IN THREE PLACES.

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT DISTORTION OF VISIBILITY THROUGH THE REAR WINDSHIELD DURING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT, MOVING AND STOPPED.THE BIGGEST ISSUE AT NIGHT IS THAT ONE VEHICLE APPEARS MULTIPLIED WITH MULTIPLE SETS OF HEADLIGHTS, MOSTLY UP AND DOWN WITH THE DEFOGGING LINES BUT ALSO IN A WAVY PATTERN BETWEEN DEFOGGER LINES. DURING THE DAYTIME, IT OBSCURES THE EDGES OF VEHICLES WITH THE WAVY PATTERN AND HAS THE SAME HEADLIGHT ISSUE AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING IF IT'S RAINING. THERE IS NO AFTER-MARKET TINT APPLIED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES CHANGING LANES AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME SINCE THE DISTORTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE DISTANCE AND WHICH LANE THEY MAY BE IN.

I RECENTLY HAD A FLAT TIRE AFTER HITTING SOMETHING LAYING ON A BRIDGE AND WENT TO PLACE MY SPARE TIRE ON MY VEHICLE, AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND THEY COULD ALSO NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AND SAID THEY WERE SWOLLEN VERY BAD AND NONE OF THEIR TOOLS FIT. OVERALL THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE SWOLLEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER SAFETY CAUSING DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON FLAT TIRES UNTIL REACHING A PLACE THEY CAN PUT AIR INTO THEIR TIRES. ALSO, THE FACT THAT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS CAN NOT TAKE OFF THE LUG NUTS EITHER MEANS COSTLY REPAIRS FOR THE DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE ECM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. NALLEY TOYOTA OF ROSWELL (11130 ALPHARETTA HWY, ROSWELL, GA 30076, (866)-266-3809) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, IT SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A STONE WALL. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER WRIST AND RIBS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1909121131. THE MANUFACTURER RETRIEVED THE DATA RECORDER BOX. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 25-35 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO A STATIONARY MOTORCYCLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DRIVER'S RESIDENCE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY 2011 CAMRY IS SUPER WHITE AND THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY COME OFF. I NOTICED ALL THE SHINE WAS GONE SO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A WAX JOB AND HE INFORMED ME THE CLEAR COAT IS COMPLETELY GONE. I STARTED TO NOTICE IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I WASH MY CAR, THE WHITE PAINT COMES OFF. I ALSO HAVE A FEW RUST SPOTS THAT HAVE STARTED TO FORM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

THE DASHBOARD SO STICKY AND MELTING

I AM WRITING ABOUT MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011.I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME. I AM PRESENTLY DRIVING BUT YES IF IT FAILS AGAIN IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND IT FAILS AGAIN. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE. ALSO SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED IS I WOULD SUGGEST EVERY SEAT BELT IN ANY VEHICLE BE A FLUORESCENT ORANGE SO IT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE NOT WEARING YOUR SEAT BELT. THIS WOULD HELP THE POLICE AND ANYONE ELSE IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHERWISE. I AM JUST MAKING THE SUGGESTION HOPING SOMEONE WILL CHANGE THIS.

I HAD NOTICED THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BECAME VERY STICKY AND SHINY IN THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2019. THE SUNLIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELDS MOST LIKELY CREATED THIS CONDITION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OR TO REMOVE THE VERY SHINY/STICKY EFFECT. SUBSEQUENTLY IT CAUSES A REFLECTIVE GLARE FROM THE SHINY SURFACE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, POSSIBLY CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD. I CONSULTED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED ME A PRICE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH AS THEY DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEM...SPEFICALLY STATING THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANY EVER SUCCESSFULLY CORRECTED BY REPAIR. CONSIDERING HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, AND REPORTS ONLINE OF MANY OTHER SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY OWNERS OF TOYOTAS OF SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IT IS MELTING. ESPECIALLY, ON A HOT DAY. AS A RESULT, WHEN DRIVING, IT AFFECTING VISIBILITY DUE TO REFLECTION TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD.

INITIALLY THE SUN VISOR WILL FELL AND BLOCK SOME DRIVER SIDE VIEW. AFTER A YEAR OR 2 LATER, IT COMPLETELY FELL AND WILL BLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE VIEW. THIS IS A HAZARD CONDITION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, TOYOTA ISSUED WARRANTY BULLETIN(POL12-03) TO REPLACE CERTAIN VIN RANGE OF THE CAMRY 07~11, MINE IS THE 2011, HOWEVER I DO NOT SEE THE VIN IN THAT DOCUMENT. I'VE BOUGHT 3 NEW CAMRY IN THE PAST, ONLY THIS ONE HAS THE PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE TOYOTA.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN USING EXCESSIVE OIL LAST 2 YEARS IT HAS 78000 MILES I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ENGINES I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR CERTAIN YEARS BUT MINE WAS NOT. I EXPLAINED THAT MY 2.5L (2AR FE) ENGINE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE THAT WERE FLAGGED FOR REPAIRS TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEFECTIVE PISTON PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED I AM ASKING FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS ISSUE THANK YOU

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE'S RPM REV, HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ONCE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WITH THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT A HIGH SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS ON AN INCLINE, 1.0 GRADE WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. ON FLAT SURFACES, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TO INDICATE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE HESITATION HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH TO GAIN SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLES RPM WAS BETWEEN 5-6 AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE HOWEVER IT DID MOVE FORWARD AND ALLOWED ME TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO INVOICE. WE HAVE A VERBAL ESTIMATION OF $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CENTER CITY AUTOMOTIVE IN DAVIS, CA.

FIRST BURST HAPPENED AFTER 1266 MILES (40221-38955) SECOND BURSTS HAP

TAKATA RECALL TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AT A SHOP AND THE LIGHT WAS ON CODE DESCRIBED A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS I CONTACTED TOYOTA BY PHONE AND EMAIL FOR HELP. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND IF IT IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND NOT YET DISCOVERED THEY SHOULD E RESPONSIBLE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR .

AS I AM CHECKING MY CREDIT REPORT I DECIDED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE REPORT AN I SEE RECALLS THAT I NEVER NEW ANYTHING ABOUT, TWO RECALLS. I RECALL RECENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH SAID RECALL, CONTROL ARMS, ONE OF SAID RECALL IN QUESTION, NOW I HADN'T PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LONG AFTER THE RECALL, AS I STATED DID NOT GET A LETTER NOR DID THE DEALERSHIP SAY ANYTHING, AS I HAVE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES WITH THE RECALL TIME FRAME, MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE STREET WHILE PARKED IN 2017, BUT I WAS TOLD THE CONTROLS ARMS PROBLEM WAS NOT A RESULT OF THAT, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERS AN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T SEE T FIND ANYTHING, AN EVENTUALLY ONE DEALER FIX IT, UNDER MY WARRANTY. BUT IT SEEM TO STILL BE A PROBLEM WITH THE UPPER LOWER CONTROL BECAUSE THE CAR IS IS SWAYING FROM TIME TO TIME ESPECIALLY WITH THIS POWERFUL WINDS, TODAY MY CAR SWAYED INTO THE OTHER LANE AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY I HAD TO GET OFF IMMEDIATELY.

MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR BEHAVED ODDLY WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DONE. INSTEAD MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED FASTER RESULTING IN MY VEHICLE BECOMING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. IT ALSO HAS ME VERY CONCERNED THAT MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF MY ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SPEED AT WHICH MY VEHICLE REACHED.

CV BOOT IS LEAKING GREASE WITHOUT FINDING DAMAGE UPON PHYSICAL INSPECTION. TWO MECHANICS HAVE REPORTED THIS TO ME WHILE WORKING ON UNRELATED MAINTENANCE ISSUES.

I BELIEVE MY CAR IS ONE OF THE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED IN TOYOTA RECALL I'D: 227548. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY CAR, THAT'S LISTED IN THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TIGHTLY I HERE A GRINDING SOUND, I TOOK MY CAR TO BE SUSPECTED AND WAS GIVE THE DIAGNOSIS OF MY SUSPENSION AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE BALL JOINT

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. POSSIBLE AFFECTED BY TAKATA RECALL.

CAR SHUDDERS AT 35 TO 40 MPH. IF I SPEED UP NO PROBLEM. I HEARD IT COULD BE TORQUE CONVERTER. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I TOLD DEALER AND THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING. I ALSO TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. THEY TOLD ME IS WEAR AN TEAR. CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION JUST THOSE ISSUES. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER MY CAR WAS ALSO IN ACCIDENT BUT DEALER FIXED IT AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. DORSCHEL GROUP ROCHESTER NY. IS VERY UPSETTING THAT A CAR I PAID OVER 25000$ IS DOING THIS AND NO RECALLS

OIL CONSUMPTION. DRIVE CAR A LOT OF SHAKING VIBRATION. TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. WHEN LOAD IS PUT. TRANSMISSION RPM AROUNDV40MPH TO 45MPH WEIRD VIBRATION AND HESITATION. THIS CAR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NOT GOOD

A WHILE BACK I WAS PULLING IN MY YARD AND MY VISOR FLIPPED DOWN CAUSING ME TO PANIC AND BLIND MY VIEW THEN WHEN I PANICKED I ACCEDENTLY HIT THE GAS AND DROVE INTO MY MOBILE HOME CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY HOME AND ABOUT 2000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR I WROTE TOYOTA AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR DAMAGE

DRIVER SIDE VISOR WOULD STAY IN PLACE

I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING A PREVIOUS NHTSA CASE INVOLVING THE VEHICLE LINE JUST PRIOR TO MINE (2010). FOR THAT LINE, TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER MY VEHICLE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I AM ATTACHING MY LETTER TO TOYOTA. MY INQUIRY TO THEM IS [XXX] AND CASE# [XXX] (WITH HQ). THE ATTACHED LETTER DOCUMENTS MY CASE. I THOUGHT THE DEALER'S BRAKE WORK HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS THAT IT'S JUST A FAULTY MODULE IN THE VEHICLE. NOW, IT IS DISABLED, RENDERING MY VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THE COST AMOUNTS TO ALMOST THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER-MAINTAINED, IT'S IMMACULATE AND I HAD NOT INTENDED TO TRADE IT IN. I HAD ACTUALLY CONSIDERED PURCHASING A NEW CAMRY UNTIL THIS SITUATION CAME UP. I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN TOYOTA FOR THEIR REFUSAL TO ASSIST. I HOPE THAT BY NOTIFYING NHTSA AND MAKING OTHERS AWARE, THIS WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT AND ADDRESSED. SINCE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT UNTIL YOU ENCOUNTER THE PROBLEM, THERE ARE NO TELLING HOW MANY OTHERS ARE DRIVING VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED, INCLUDING MY 25-YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES A 2011 LE MODEL (VIN [XXX]). I DO PRAY THAT OUR MODEL YEAR CAN BE ADDED TO THE INCIDENT FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

AIRBAG SYMBOL WAS LIT SHOWING ON MY DASH. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY TOLD THAT A SPRING HAD BROKEN, AND THAT MY AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPOY IN AN ACCIDENT. COST TO REPLACE SPRING WAS OVER $500.00. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. MY WIFE AND I ARE LIVING ON A FIX-INCOME, AND 500.00 IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I JUST SAW A RECALL ON A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER, WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH FAULTY AIRBAG. PART NEEDED IS A SPRIAL 84306-06150 CLOCK SPRING.

MUCHOS PROBLEMAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 25 MPH. ALSO, THE BRAKES FAILED AND CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WOBURN TOYOTA (394 WASHINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF CAR FAULTY ACCELERATING.*JB

THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FOLLOWING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT. I EXITED MY COMMUNITY, BY MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A COUNTY ROAD. THE WEATHER WAS CLOUDY, AND THE ROAD WAS DAMP DUR TO RECENT RAIN. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT ON A COUNTY ROAD (A TOTAL OF 2 LANES), UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE REAR END OF THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION TO ENSURE I STAYED IN MY LANE. THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE RIGHT SIDE WITHIN MY LANE AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE/DRIFT. AS THE CAR CONTINUED SLIDING THE RIGHT, IT WENT OUTSIDE MY LANE, HIT THE DIRT "SHOULDER", AND HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SWING TO THE LEFT. WHEN THE CAR HIT THE ROCKS, I FELT MY BODY LIFTED FROM MY SIT, BUT THE SEAT BELT HELD IT BACK. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD AT THIS

I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE.

ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE REAR WHEELS/BRAKES ON MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASH INTO A TREE. I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH (BY ROUGHLY 1 MPH). I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE. THE ALABAMA STATE TROOPER WHO CAME AND TRIED TO ASSIST ME WAS VERY UNFRIENDLY AND APPEARED TO HAVE A UNCOOPERATIVE ATTITUDE. THE ADRENALINE RUSH TOOK OVER ME, CAUSING ME TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND MAKE MY WALLET FALL OUT OF MY POCKET. IT FELL INTO A PILE OF LEAVES, WHICH WERE THE SAME COLOR O

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FALLING DOWN NOT STAYING UP. THE BASE PART OF THE SUM VISOR BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE BODY OF THE SUN VISOR MAKING IT HARD TO OUT THE SUN VISOR BACK UP BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED WHEN I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SUN VISOR FALL HALF WAY DOWN. AFTER A LONG DRIVE OUT OF STATE, ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUN VISOR DROPED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP
