2012 Toyota Camry complaints

WIFE WAS DRIVING ON 4 LANE STREET IN DRY CONDITIONS AT APPROXIMATELY 5:45 PM CT IN A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY AT AIR TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 80 DEGREES WHEN DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND DRIVERS SIDE BACK SEAT AIR BAG. 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN FRONT SEAT AND 4 YEAR OLD SON IN BACK SEAT. SON HIT IN FACE BY AIRBAG BUT OTHERWISE UNINJURED. LUCKILY, WIFE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER IN CHURCH PARKING LOT. INCIDENT REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN TORRANCE CA AT 9 AM CT ON SAT JULY 27. CAR PURCHASED 5-4-13 AT 31602 MILES. AS OF SEPT. 5 2013 TOYOTA HAS NOT AGREED TO FIX CAR OR REIMBURSE RENTAL CAR EXPENSES TO GET CHILDREN TO DAY CARE. TOYOTA ENGINEER FLOWN IN AUG 6 2013 TO INSPECT VEHICLE. SENT 63 PHOTOS OF CAR AND UNDERCARRIAGE TO TOYOTA AS REQUESTED ON 7-30-13 TO SHOW NO IMPACT CAUSED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ASKING TOYOTA TO REPLACE VEHICLE OR FIX VEHICLE PLUS REIMBURSE FOR RENTAL CAR FEES. SIX WEEKS LATER 9-5-13 STILL NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA CLAIMS DEPT. RESTRAINT SYSTEM INCLUDING AIRBAGS UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 60000 MILES. ONLY MY SON'S BOOSTER SEAT SAVED HIM FROM DIRECT BODY AIRBAG IMPACT AND SERIOUS INJURY. HAVE PHOTOS TO PROVE IT. *JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA USED CAR WITH 3675 MILES. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH THE CAR CONSTANTLY WANDERS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT REQUIRING CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTION. THIS IS VERY TEDIOUS TO THE DRIVER AND CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN ATTEMPTING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE DESIGNATED LANE OF TRAFFIC. ALL TIRES ARE INFLATED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THE CAR IS PROPERLY ALIGNED. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE RELATED TO THIS TOPIC AND VEHICLE. I CONTACTED BOTH A TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA U.S.A. AND BOTH HAD NO RECORDS OF COMPLAINTS AND OR RECOMMENDED ACTIONS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE CAUSE OF THIS IS MOST LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) WHICH TOYOTA STARTED TO INSTALL INTO THE CAMRY IN 2012. EPS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS HAVING A NUMB FEELING AND IN SOME CASES WANDERING STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS WHEN ACQUIRING THIS 2012 CAMRY. PREVIOUS TO THIS CAR I LEASED A 2011 CAMRY WHICH DID NOT HAVE EPS AND NO SUCH WANDERING STEERING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A "VERY UNSAFE" VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT FURTHER. I THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO POST SUCH ISSUES TO YOUR AGENCY.*JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY ON A SUNNY DAY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, NO OBJECTS THAT THE CAR CAME INTO CONTACT WITH. *JB

PERSISTENT MODERATELY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF. AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING, THE KNOCKING SOUND OCCURS, STOPS, AND STOPS AGAIN. IT IS MOST PERSISTENT WHILE DRIVING OVER UNEVEN STREET PAVEMENT. *TR

WHILE ON FREEWAY DRIVER SIDE TIRE BURST ALL OF SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON. I WAS IN THE SECOND LANE FROM RIGHT AND COULD SAFELY TOOK CAR ON THE SHOULDER. CALLED TOYOTA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOWED THE CAR TO NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THEY ASSESSED DAMAGE TO ALLOY WHEEL, TIRE SENSOR AND ASCENDER LINER ALONG WITH TIRE. FOR ANY WARRANTY ISSUED ASKED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE DIRECTED TO BRIDGETONE TIRES SAYING ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NOT WORKING TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR RE=CALIBRATION DID NOT REPAIR HAVE TO SCHEDULE AGAIN NO AIR BAG LIGHT WORKING SO THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS NO DASH BOARD AIR BAG OR KNEE AIR BAGS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS A ACCIDENT AND THE SAFETY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS OFF AND ON WITH NO ONE SITTING SEAT. FRONT END SUSPENSION HAS POPPING SOUND AND TIRE WIRE ON THE INSIDE OF TEARS IS VERY UNUSUAL., FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS FLEXING DOWN AND CAUSES THE FRONT END TO FEEL LIGHT AND UN CONTROLLABLE AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE PULL LEFT. IF GIVE THE LOOK OF THE BOTTOM OF WHEELS ARE BOWED OUTWARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND BRAKING FOR A TRAFFIC STOP, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, HE MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A DEER. THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE WENT OFF THE ROAD AND IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STEERED THE VEHICLE BACK ONTO THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE ROSE WITH ONLY TWO TIRES STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY AND EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BECAME AIRBORNE. THE VEHICLE THEN FLIPPED END OVER END FOUR TIMES UNTIL COMING TO A REST ON ITS ROOF. THE CONTACT'S ARM WAS PULLED OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND THE VEHICLE LANDED ON HIS HAND. THE CONTACT'S RING FINGER WAS SEVERED AND HE ALSO SUFFERED FROM EXTREME WHIPLASH INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS HAD FAILED TO DEPLOY.

UPDATED 8/2/13 *CN ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE HE NEGOTIATING A LEFT CURVE IN THE ROADWAY.

I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GPS. I TOOK IT TO DASYTON TOYOTA,DAYTON,NJ TWICE TODAY. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD THEM SELECT "HOME". AS I LEFT, IT TURNED ON NJ522 & WAS TOLD TO TURN RIGHT (WRONG) LAST WEEK I PUT AN ADDRESS IN FOR WHITE PLAINS,NY (NORMALLY 1.5 HRS.) AFTER 2.5 HOURS,OUR SON HAD TO FIND US TO LEAD US TO THE ADDRESS. OFTEN. IT WILL TAKE US OFF A HWY, THEM PUT US BACK ON THE SAME HIGHWAY.AUTO IS LEASED & UNDER THE NJ LEMON LAW, IF THE CAR DOESN'T MEET UNIFORM CONFORMITY IT MUST BE CONSIDERED A LEMON, AND CAN BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITH NO LOSS TO LEASEE. I WANT A TOTAL REFUND OFR THE 12 MONTH PAYMENTS & MY DEPOSIT THANK YOU *TR

THERE IS A GRAB HANDLE OVER EACH FRONT SIDE DOOR; THE REAR HINGE OF THE HANDLE POSES A SEVERE DANGER TO THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S HEADS. THE HEADLINER IS PADDED, BUT THIS HANDLE EXTENDS ABOUT AN INCH OUT FROM THE HEADLINER AND IS A HARD PLASTIC COVER OVER A STEEL HINGE. A SEVERE SIDE MOTION, AS IN A CRASH, COULD DRIVE THIS HINGE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SKULL. A LESSER SIDE MOTION, AS IN A SUDDEN MANEUVER, COULD HIT THE DRIVER'S HEAD HARD ENOUGH TO DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

BOUGHT A NEW 2012 CAMRY. FIRST TIME ON HIGHWAY NOTICED EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING DRIVING 50MPH. I WAS VERY SURPRISED ON HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOOSE AND ERRATIC. DRIVING NEXT TO A BIG RIG TRUCK I HAD TO FOCUS ALL MY EFFORT (MOVING MY STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT) TO KEEP CAR CENTERED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE STEERING FEELS UNSTABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HOPE TOYOTA CAN UTILIZE A FIX FOR THIS ASAP. I WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH MY LOCAL DEALER ON MY CONCERNS. *TR

NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS OFF EVEN IF A HEAVY ADULT IS SITTING IN IT. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING ALWAYS. NOTICED THIS BUT THOUGHT AS MOST TIMES DRIVE ALONE THOUGHT THAT AS THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MOST OF THE TIMES AND ATTRIBUTED THE CAUSE OF THE FLASHING SEAT BELT LIGHT FOR THAT.BUT NOW KNOW THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS PULLING MY CAR ONTO THE CARPORT FROM DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS AT SAME LEVEL, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. THE CAR ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE CAR SURGING FORWARD AND THE RPM INCREASING AS I WAS CRASHING THROUGH THE CARPORT, FENCE, PATIO, TWO FOUR-WHEELERS, THE CONCRETE PATIO STAIRS, PROPANE BBQ GRILL AND A WHEEL BARREL. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD, AND IT DID NOT STOP AND THE MOTOR CONTINUE TO RACE; I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. AFTER ALL THE DEBRIS WHICH WAS IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND UNDER IT, IT COULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER BUT THE WHEELS WHERE STILL SPINNING AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY HUSBAND WHO SEEN IT AND HEARD IT, HE YELLED AT ME " TURN OFF THE ENGINE" I DON" KNOW WHAT ELSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE DESTROYED. THE CAR MISSED RUNNING OVER MY HUSBAND AND THE HOUSE BY A COUPLE OF FEET. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE CAR WRECK WHERE SHE LEFT THE ROADWAY AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 55MPH AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT THEN RODE A ROCK WALL FOR ABOUT 75 FEET WHERE THE CAR TURNED AND FLIPPED ACROSS THE ROADWAY. 2 OF THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF, THE INITIAL IMPACT IMPLODED THE WHOLE FRONT QUARTER PANEL, BOTH BACK CORNERS OF THE CAR WERE DESTROYED AMONG OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR! NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG WENT OFF! FORTUNATELY SHE SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE AND THIS PISSES ME OFF SEVERELY CONSIDERING I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR ITS HIGH SAFETY RATINGS! MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER REGARDING THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AS WELL. I'D HATE TO SEE A FATALITY CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURERS NEGLIGENCE OF NOT TESTING THEIR EQUIPMENT FULLY TO MEET PRODUCTION NEEDS . *TR

OUR FAMILY BOUGHT A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY IN ABOUT EARLY APRIL THE YEAR OF 2012 . A FEW MONTHS LATER WE STARTED TO NOTICE NOISE. CONSIDERING A BRAND NEW CAR WE HAD PURCHASED. IT WAS IN OUR CONCERN TO WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING. WE GET EVERYTHING DONE FROM THE DEALER LOCATED IN LINCOLNWOOD, IL. FROM WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME CONCERN. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE, BUT ODDLY THE NOISE WAS CONSTANT EVEN AFTER A VISIT AT THE DEALERS. THIS VISIT WE HAD DONE WAS NOT JUST ONCE BUT MANY TIMES, RECEIVING THE SAME ANSWER. WHAT UPSETS ME IS THAT AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS OVER. SUDDENLY THE DEALER KNEW THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM I WAS CONSTANTLY VERIFYING THEM ABOUT EARLIER. WHICH SUMMED UP TO ABOUT THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I, WHO IS REFUSING TO PAY THIS.THIS CAR STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. WHAT I CAN CONCLUDE FROM THIS IS, THAT THE CAR ITSELF IS A DEFECT.THE DEALER TOLD OUR FAMILY TO CALL THE MANUFACTURES AND LET THEM KNOW, BECAUSE THIS CAR COULD HAVE BEEN A DEFECT FROM BEGINNING, WHEN PURCHASED. THE DEALER SAYS, THE PROBLEM IN THE CAR IS " BRAKE ACTUATOR BOOSTER ASSEMBLY." *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME SO I STOPPED MY CAR AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A SIDE STREET AND THEN IMMEDIATELY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND PARKED MY CAR. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I STOPPED THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME (LESS THAN A MILE) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIVE TO MY CONCERN ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH WITH MY 4-YEAR OLD CHILD IN THE CAR. AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RAN AN INSPECTION AND FOUND A CODE C1554 POWER SUPPLY RELAY FAILURE AND REPLACED MY POWER STEERING ECU ASSY. ALTHOUGH I'M GLAD THIS FIX WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I WILL ALWAYS HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT IT FAILING AGAIN ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ OTHER REPORTS OF STEERING FAILURES IN 2012 TOYOTA CAMRYS. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THIS IS THE FIRST LINE OF CAMRYS WITH THEIR EPS (ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING) SYSTEM. WITH IT BEING A NEW SYSTEM FOR TOYOTA AND BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY'S EPS, I URGE A MORE IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION ON THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH OF MARK WEST SPRINGS ROAD, SONOMA, CA, WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE, WE SLID OF THE ROAD AND WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT HITTING A TREE CAUSING INJURY TO THE PASSENGER AND DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD/PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THE AIRBAGS GOT DEPLOYED CAUSING LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS TO THE PASSENGER'S FACE, NECK AND ARMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK LOCK MECHANISM FAILED TO ENGAGE. AS A RESULT, THE TRUNK FAILED TO STAY OPEN AND STRUCK THE CONTACTS HEAD. THERE WAS NO INJURY TO REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO STANDARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,523. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STEERING ERRATICALLY AND PULLING TO THE LEFT PRIMARILY. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE WIND IS BUFFETING THE VEHICLE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A STEADY COURSE. WHEN FAMILY HAVE DRIVEN BEHIND ME IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I WAS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT THIS WEEK BUT I HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT AND I STRUCK AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.THE DAY WAS CLOUDY BUT DRY. THERE WERE NO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. BOTH CARS WERE TOTALED. I STRUCK THE VEHICLE LEFT HEAD LIGHT TO MY LEFT HEAD LIGHT. THE OTHER DRIVER AND I WERE BOTH HOSPITALIZED FOR INJURIES. WE ARE FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED. I RECEIVED A TICKET FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN LANE AND WILL GO TO COURT IN JUNE.THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

THE CAR IS BECOMING UNDRIVEABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT, AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON THEIR REPORT THEY STATED "THE VEHICLE'S OPERATING AS DESIGNED." SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IT'S BEEN PERFORMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. THE RIDE IS CHOPPY, BURDENED, AND LABORED. THE ENTIRE CAR SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH ITSELF. I GET INTO THE CAR FEELING FINE PHYSICALLY, AND THEN I FEEL ILL AND SICK AFTER A WHILE. THERE'S FOUL ODORS COMING FROM MY CAR, DEFINITELY FROM THE EXTERIOR AND POSSIBLY FROM THE INSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED FOR EXHAUST LEAKS AND DIDN'T FIND ANY, BUT I'M SMELLING THINGS IN THE CAR NO ONE SHOULD BE SMELLING. IT EVEN SEEMS LIKE THE CAR WOBBLES AND SHIMMIES AS IT TRAVELS DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

CAR SURGING WHILE DRIVING AND RADIO WOULD CUT OUT AND THE TOYOTA EMBLEM AND WORD TOYOTA APPEARS ON SCREEN. 1ST VISIT DEALER STATED A COMPUTER CHIP NEEDED UPDATE. THIS FIXED THE SURGING WHILE DRIVING BUT DID NOT FIX THE RADIO FROM CUTTING OUT. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE RADIO SHUT DOWN. SECOND VISIT BACK TO DEALER, HAD THE CAR 10 DAYS AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE RADIO SHUTTING OFF. DEALER REPLACED THE EXTENSION MODULE. CAR RETURNED AND STILL RADIO WAS CUTTING OUT. 3RD TIME DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE RADIO UNIT, WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE RADIO WAS DOING IT AGAIN.FOURTH VISIT BACK TO DEALER. DEALER DISCONNECTED EXTENSION MODULE, RADIO STILL CUT OUT, REPLACED RADIO AND AMPLIFIER FROM NEW CAR SITTING ON THE LOT, RADIO STILL CUT OUT. SERVICE MANAGER DROVE CAR HOME FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND RADIO WAS STILL CUTTING OUT. TRAVELING SERVICE REP WAS CALLED IN ON 2 OCCASIONS TO DIAGNOSE. TRAVELING SERVICE REP IS DRIVING A TOYOTA TACOMA THAT DOES THE SAME THING BUT IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE AND IT IS A HD RADIO SIGNAL BEING SENT OUT BY 98.9, A ENTERCOM BROADCASTING COMPANY AND THAT THEIR EQUIPMENT WAS WORKING IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. TALKING WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I CONTACTED 5 TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE OR HAD A CUSTOMER BRING THEIR CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. TALKING WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY

YESTERDAY I WAS PULLING INTO MY SISTERS DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A DOWNSLOPE INCLINE AND MY CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT THAT I HAS TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES VERY HARD TO STOP THE CAR. SHE HAS A CARPORT IN WHICH HER CAR WAS PARKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO THE CARPORT AND HER CAR. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND SO UNEXPECTED I'M NOT SURE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, ONLY WHAT I FELT LIKE HAPPENED. I HEARD A SCRUBBING NOISE AS I WAS PUSHING ON THE BREAK PEDAL AND I THOUGHT MAYBE PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SO HARD HAD CAUSED THAT. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AFTER THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THIS IS THE 5TH CAMRY WE HAVE OWNED SINCE 1994 AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH EVERY ONE EXCEPT THIS ONE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE ROAD, BUT ESPECIALLY IN MINNESOTA WINTER DRIVING. MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THE FEELING OF DRIVING A REAR WHEEL DRIVE CAR ON ICE. THE CAR SQUIRMS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL AND GO INTO A SPIN, OR LIKE THE REAR OF THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE SIDEWAYS. I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER 59 YEARS OLD AND CONSIDER MYSELF AN EXCELLENT DRIVER IN ALL CONDITIONS AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN MINNESOTA WINTERS ALL MY LIFE. THIS CONDITION IS ALSO VERY NOTICEABLE ON DRY ROADS BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDS CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE IT WANDERS SIDE TO SIDE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, SUGGESTING TO THEM THAT THE ALIGNMENT MAY BE OFF. THEY CHECKED AND SAID IT WAS O.K. I WILL BE SELLING THIS CAR SOON IF I DO NOT GET THIS RESOLVED. *TR

I RENTED A TOYOTA CAMRY 2013 IN DECEMBER 2012. WHILE SITTING IN THE TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF BUCHANAN AND US 93. I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE PAD WHILE THE CRUISER WAS ON, HOWEVER, THE BRAKE DID NOT RESPOND. THE RENTAL CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND KEPT MOVING FORWARD. EVENTUALLY, IT HIT THE FRONT VEHICLE. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF LOW SPEED. IF IT WERE A NORMAL FUNCTIONAL CAR, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STOPPED BECAUSE THE SPEED WAS VERY LOW. BUT IN THIS CASE, THE RENTAL CAR CAUSED THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF ITS POOR QUALITY. THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. IN CONTRAST, THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT, A SUV, HAD NO DAMAGE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I CHECKED THE SCENE AND DID NOT FIND ANY TIRE BRAKE MARK ON THE GROUND, WHICH SUGGESTED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RENTAL CAR HAD MUCH SLOW RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKE WHEN THE CRUISE WAS ON, AND THE BRAKE SEEMED TO BE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE WHEN THE CRUISE WAS OFF. IN ORDER TO PROTECT OTHER DRIVERS ON HIGHWAY, I STRONGLY REQUEST NHTSA TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION ON TOYOTA CAMRY'S BRAKE SYSTEM. IF ANY DEFECT IS IDENTIFIED, THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL THE PROBLEMATIC VEHICLES. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE SPEED WERE HIGH, AND THINGS COULD BE BLOODY AND HOFFIFYING. I HOPE ONE FEWER ACCIDENT LIKE THAT COULD BE REDUCED BY THE RESPONSIVE ACTIONS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. *TR

THE TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BEEN REAR ENDED BY A FORD EXPLORER 2002 BETWEEN 40-50MPH, DAMAGING THE TRUNK, BUMPER TAIL LIGHTS, RIGHT REAR SIDE, LEFT SIDE BODY AND SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT. AT THE MOMENT OF THE ACCIDENT, WERE THE DRIVER AND THREE MORE ADULT PASSENGERS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON THEIR RESPECTIVE SEATS WEARING PROPERLY THE SEAT BELTS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER FROM THE FORD EXPLORER WAS DISTRACTED LOOKING FOR A RADIO REMOTE CONTROL WITHOUT NOTICE THE TRAFFIC ALMOST STOP WHEN THE DRIVER OF THE FORD EXPLORER BACK HIS ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC WAS TOO LATE EVEN AS HE MANIFEST HE HAS NO TIME TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER WE INSPECT THE DAMAGES I NOTICE THE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD ARE ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION BUT NO AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEPLOY THERE IS A PICTURES AND VIDEO AVAILABLE FOR ANY FUTURE INVESTIGATION UPON REQUEST. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 04-03-13 *BF

THE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN OUR APARTMENT LOT. I JUST OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR IN THE MORNING IT IS SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES. I WENT TO THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MANUFACTURING OR TOYOTA'S SUPPLIER ISSUE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF A KID IS IN THE CAR,WHOSE CAR SEAT IS FACING THE REAR WIND SHIELD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE LOOSE AND WHENEVER THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE PADS WOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH. THE BRAKE PADS WERE SMALLER THAN THE AREA OF THE CALIPER, CAUSING THEM TO BECOME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FILES A CLAIM WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND HESITATING BUT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,700. MAH THE CONSUMER FOUND AT LOW SPEED IT BECAME NECESSARY TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY, DUE TO THE FACT, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED DOWN RAPIDLY THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE AS IF THE ENGINE CUT OFF. IF THE CONSUMER RELEASED THE PEDAL AND DEPRESSED IT AGAIN AT A PROGRESSIVELY SLOWER RATE, THE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NORMAL. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THE HESITATION WAS DUE TO THE VEHICLE TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FUEL INJECTION SENSOR LACKED THE CAPACITY TO ADEQUATELY RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT A SIGNAL TO THE FUEL INJECTORS UNDER RAPID ACCELERATION. THERE WAS NO ENGINE RESPONSE, UNTIL THE CONSUMER LITERALLY RELEASED AND DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN. UPDATED 03/12/13 THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRACTION SYSTEM CONTROLLED BRAKING FORCE AND ENGINE OUTPUT TO THE DRIVE WHEEL WHEN THE SENSOR DETECTED A WHEEL SPIN DURING ACCELERATION OR CORNERING. UPDATED 03/19/13 THE CONSUMER STATED ANOTHER DEALER CONFIRMED HIS PROBLEM AND T

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED TAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY FAILURE CODES NOR COULD THE FAILURE BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE BY MAIL BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

ON ACCELERATION THE GAS CUTS OUT, LASTING AROUND 3 TO 10 SECONDS. I CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS CONDITION, IT JUST HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME HAS NO INDICATION THAT I AM IN LIMBO AND COULD EASILY REAR-END ME. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I AM TURNING AT A LOW SPEED, BUT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. *TR

I WAS MOVING CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I PULLED THE CAMRY BACK IN THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR AND IT STRUCK THE CORNER OF THE GARAGE. I WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH TO EVEN TRIP THE AIRBAG. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I KNOW THAT THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED IN ARLINGTON, TX. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THE CAR FIXED IT IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY? *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 761.

I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN TOOK OFF. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER ONLY LAST WEEK FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND 10000 MILE CHECK UP(ONLY HAVE 3700MILES ON CAR) AND ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE CAR DOES THIS MARE TIMES THAN NOT BUT THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2012 (4-CYL) WHICH I BOUGHT ON 08/29/2012. ON 12/31/2012 (THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND DRY, IT WAS A CLOUDY DAY, NO RAIN, SNOW, ICE ON THE ROAD) WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT, TURNING INTO A LANE, AFTER I STOPPED PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR KEPT GETTING FASTER AND FASTER (THE GAS PEDAL DIDN'T GET STUCK AND MY FOOT WASN'T ON IT), WHEN I STARTED TO TURN INTO A LANE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND TO AVOID A CRASH I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE OTHER SIDE, I ENDED UP DOING A DIAGONAL SKID INTO THE OTHER LANE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND KEEP GOING. SINCE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL LOCKED UP THE CAR JERKED ME PRETTY HARD AND MY NECK AND ARM STARTED TO HURT SINCE THEN AND I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE PHYSICAL THERAPY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR SERVICE (FROM 1/2/2013 - 1/10/2013) AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP I'VE BEEN HAVING THE RPM STICKING AT 1.3 ALL THE TIME SO NOW IT'S WORSE THAN WHEN I HAD IT LAST. THE CAR DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY LIFE OR OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. AFTER CALLING TOYOTA AND EXPLAINING ALL OF THIS THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT TOYOTA IS THE ONE THAT CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, THE DEALER'S ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO ACCEPT THE CAR AS A TRADE IN AND ROLL OVER THE RESIDUAL VALUE INTO A LOAN FOR ANOTHER CAR, BUT IT ISN'T MY FAULT SO I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MORE IN PAYMENTS FOR A CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE PAYING FOR A CAR TH

DRIVING DAUGHTERS TO SCHOOL IN 2012 CAMRY V6 STOPPED AT A YIELD AND THE CAMRY ACCELERATED BEYOND 1500 RPM AND I HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAMRY STOPPED. CAMRY LUNGED FORWARD AT LEAST TWO FEET. *TR

EXCESSIVE FRAME CRACKING NOISE. HAS BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS A FACTORY ISSUE AND THERE WILL BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED SPECIFIC TO PROBLEM. SINCE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE CAR WINDSHIELD IS ALSO MAKING NOISES. THE CAR IS 2 MONTHS OLD WITH 2000MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE SERVICED REPEATEDLY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JULY OF 2012 AND NEVER DROVE IT AT NIGHT UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH LATER. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN AN UNLIGHTED AREA THERE IS A VERY DARK SHADOW THAT GOES ACROSS THE ENTIRE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH INHIBITS YOUR VIEW GREATLY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I TOLD THEM THAT I CAN BARELY SEE BEYOND 10 FEET OF THE ROAD UNLESS I HAVE MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND WAS CONCERNED OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS. WELL I DID HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LISTEN TO ME NOW. SOMEONE HAD LEFT A CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED ON AN ON RAMP AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME THE OTHER NIGHT I NEVER SAW THE CAR PARKED THERE DO TO THE POOR LIGHTING FROM MY CAR AND AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE TRAVEL LANE I SLAMMED INTO THE PARKED CAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED HOWEVER THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AND I CANNOT IGNORE THIS. THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEW TOYOTA CAMRY THAT CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO HAVE A DARK SHADOW ACROSS THE TOP HALF AT NIGHT. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND CLOSE FRIEND HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT AND THEY AGREED IT GREATLY INHIBITS YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A KNOCK/TAP/CLUNK SOUND COMING FROM THE ROOF IN MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO TOYOTA AND THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP OVER 4 TIMES TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AS TIME PASSES, IT SEAMS THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM AND ARE NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMERS AS THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE BEING SOLD, WITH NO TSB ISSUED, TAKING OFF THE HEADLINER MULTIPLE TIMES HAS CREATED ADDITIONAL NOISES. *TR
