2010 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3X SINCE I PURCHASED IT DUE TO A WHINING SOUND WHICH APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EACH TIME THAT THERE WAS A NOISE BUT IT WASN'T UNUSUAL. 3 WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I COMPLAINED OF THE SAME WHINING NOISE PROBLEM AND ASKED THEM TO DO THE "FIXES" ON THE CAR FOR THE TOYOTA ACCELERATING PROBLEMS. (THE PEDAL AND THE RUG - WHICH I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE OUT IN THE PAST). WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT ALL CAMRYS HAVE THE SAME WHINING NOISE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS DONE, IF ANYTHING, TO THE PEDAL BUT I WAS TOLD TO PUT BACK IN THE SAME MAT WHICH HAD BEEN IN MY GARAGE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TOYOTAS IN THE PAST AND AM NOT TRYING TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE NOISE AND WHAT WAS DONE, IF ANYTHING, TO MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS SAFE IN THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL TOYOTAS IN THE PAST AND HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS. IT ONLY HAS 4,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 2010, I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY SOUTH ON ALABAMA HIGHWAY 59 IN THE VICINITY OF THE INTERSECTION OF BALDWIN COUNTY ROAD 32 IN SUMMERDALE. I WAS LISTENING TO RADIO STATION WHILE OUT OF MOBILE WHEN THE VOLUME OF THE STATION FADED OUT. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 SECONDS FOR THE SOUND TO COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. I ASSUMED THE STATION HAD A PROBLEM AND WOULD BE BACK IN A FEW SECONDS. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I LOOKED AT THE RADIO DISPLAY AND IT SHOWED ?VOLUME 0.? I TURNED THE VOLUME BACK UP AND THE STATION WAS THERE. IT HAD BEEN THERE ALL THE TIME. SOMETHING HAD CAUSED THE VOLUME TO FADE OUT WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON MY PART. THIS NOW GIVES ME CONCERN THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS SUBJECT TO OUTSIDE INFLUENCES. *TR

LTR FWD (NY) OWNER OF A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS BEEN SERVICE FOR MULTIPLE DEFECTS SINCE PURCHASED INCLUDING BRAKING SYSTEM AND GAS PEDAL RECALL, REPLY TO MASSAPEQUA, NY OFC. *TGW THE BACK SEAT FOAM WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE PASSENGER EXTERIOR MIRROR WAS LOOSE, THE BRAKES HAD TO BE PUMPED SO THEY WOULDN'T FEEL MUSHY, THE STEERING WAS LOOSE AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD DIM WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. THEY STATED IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. *JB

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNER SCARED TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO THE RECALL ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WOULD LIKE A REFUND. *KB

I HAD CALLED TOYOTA AT PERFORMANCE TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM THAT OUT 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY WAS MAKING A STRANGE NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD COME TO MY HOME AND PICK UP THE CAR ON MONDAY THE 8TH. NO ONE CAME. I CALLED OKSANA MY SALESLADY ON THE 10TH AND LEFT HER A MESSAGE ON HER MACHINE AND SHE DID NOT CALL BACK..ON THE 14TH WE WE'RE GOING TO CHURCH AND AS WE WE'RE PULLING INTO THE PARKING SPACE MY HUSBAND HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED OVER 2 CONCRETE PARKING CURBS AND ENDED UP IN THE UPPER PARKING LOT ABOUT 10 FEET UP THE HILL. MY HUSBAND HAD TO KEEP BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE STILL KEPT ON SPEEDING UNTIL IT GOT CAUGHT ON BOTH CONCRETE BARRIERS. 2 PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT WITNESSED THIS. *TR

MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS VERY ROUGH AND "CLUNKY" WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. MANY TIMES THE CAR WILL SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT RESULTING IN A STRONG PULLING (ALMOST A BRAKING SENSATION) PREVENTING A NORMAL COASTING TO A STOP SINCE, YOU NEED TO KEEP PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO COUNTERACT THE DOWNSHIFTING DURING A SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, CONVERSELY, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO PUSH THE CAR FORWARD IN THE FINAL BREAKING MOMENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING PATTERNS. I HAVE ALMOST BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALIBRATED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN A TEMPORARY FIX BUT, THE PROBLEM RETURNS, SOMETIMES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF THE RECALIBRATING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MY EXPERIENCES OF NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH MY CAR. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 2010 WITH 11500 MILES IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND IT IS TAKING NOTICEABLE LONGER TO SLOW DOWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND (ESC) LIGHT IS ON. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE HOWEVER IT TOOK THEM OVER 30 DAYS TO FIX IT AND THEY DID NOT SEEM CONFIDENT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY A DRIVER MISTAKE AS IT CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN WHEN FOOT IS OFF THE BRAKE AND CAR IS IN DRIVE THAT THE RPM IS HIGHER. SOMETIMES THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL AND SHAKES VERY HARD. THE APPROX INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME IT WAS NOTICED AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER BEING DRIVEN. * I WONDER IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT MY CELL PHONE THAT CAUSES INTERFERENCE WITH MY TV AND RADIO CAUSES AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE ETC SYSTEM? *TR

CAR SURGED WITH A RAPID ACCELERATION THROUGH INTERSECTION ACROSS A RAISED GRASS COVERED CURBED MEDIAN, STRIKING A POLE AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM.

TOYOTA CAMRY (RENTED FROM HERTZ ANN ARBOR SHERATON). DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN REMOVING FOOT FORM ACCELERATOR PEDAL. VEHICLE MAINTAINS SPEED FOR A VERY NOTICEABLE 1 OR 2 SECONDS. 100% REPEATABLE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY REMAINS UNDER POWER EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER HAS REMOVED THE INPUT COMMAND. I OBSERVED THE SAME DELAY EACH TIME I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EVEN BEING AWARE OF THIS SITUATION I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WHEN A TRUCK CHANGED LANES IN FRONT OF ME. I REMOVED MY FOOT EXPECTING TO SLOW DOWN ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT SPEED CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN ME AND THE TRUCK WHILE THE TRUCK DECELERATED. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM PEDAL AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO REMOVE THE LOAD, I WITNESSED THE RPM WILL INCREASE 400-1000 RPM DEPENDING ON TERRAIN AND AMOUNT THE THROTTLE WAS DEPRESSED TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SPEED. THIS RPM SPIKE IS BRIEF IN DURATION (1 SECOND OR LESS). I REPEATED THIS AN ESTIMATED 30 TIMES UNDER VARIOUS GRADE CONDITIONS. (OHIO TURNPIKE, I-475, US 23 NORTHBOUND MICHIGAN). THE WORST CASE BEING DRIVING UP A SLIGHT GRADE MAINTAINING 2100 RPM. I FULLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL ,AND OBSERVED A BLIP TO 3100 RPM. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND "REPAIRED" - GAS PEDAL, FLOOR MAT, BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. PRIOR TO THE RECALL, THE GAS PEDAL WAS SLUGGISH AND I WOULD EXPERIENCE MINI, SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS. THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT SINCE THE REPAIRS (3/2/2010). IN FACT, IT APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT, THE SUDDEN ACCELERATIONS ARE NOT DRAMATIC AND BRAKING DOES TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, WHICH HAS BEEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE GAS PEDAL RECALL FIX. ON TUESDAY, MARCH 2ND, I WAS DRIVING HER CAMRY. I PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT WHAT SEEMED TO BE FULL THROTTLE. MY FOOT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE GAS PEDAL. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE, AND THE ACCELERATION ENDED, SO THE BRAKE OVERRIDE DID WORK. I RETURNED THE CAMRY TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A COLD ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS NOT COLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD JUST DRIVEN IT ABOUT 20 MILES JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. I AM BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, YET WE ARE DRIVING A LOANER CAR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT WANTS TO LOOK AT THE "ALLEGED PROBLEM" CLOSER. *TR

OPENING THE HOOD TO ADD WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, THE HOOD RELEASE DID NOT WORK, HAD TO RECONNECT IT. THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS EXTREMELY LOW, HAVE ONLY OWNED CAR FOR 6 MONTHS, ONLY 4000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IF WOULD HESITATE TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 10V017000 AND 09V388000, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT INSTANCES OF ABNORMAL UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WOULD OCCUR IN BOTH THE DRIVE AND REVERSE POSITIONS. THE VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT THE FAILURE PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO ALLOW THE ENGINE TO WARM LONGER THAN USUAL. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR THAT WOULD BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE DRIVER'S HABITS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

LIGHT FROM HEADLIGHTS IS INADEQUATE. IT SEEMS TO BE HALF CUT OFF AT THE TOP OF THE BEAM SO THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES DOWN HILL THE LIGHT ONLY GOES OUT ABOUT 20 FEET AND IS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME IF TRAVELING ANYPLACE WHERE THERE ARE HILLS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVERY SINCE I GOT THE TOYOTA CAMRY. IN THE LEXUS THEY HAVE MADE IS THE HEADLIGHTS MOVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS PROBLEM SO TOYOTA MUST BE AWARE OF IT BUT ISN'T ACKNOWLEDGING IT WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER. NO FIX IS OFFERED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN HILLY TERRAIN. *TR

AFTER TOYOTA PEDAL RECALL COMPLETED, HAD ISSUE 2X WITH ACCELERATOR STICKING AND ACTUALLY CAUSING THE GAS PEDAL TO BE SLUGGISH (WOULD NOT ACCELERATE). *TR

HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT BEHIND A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS ARE SO INTENSE ON THAT CAR THAT MY RETINA'S WERE RED SATURATED. WHEN THE STOPLIGHT TURNED GREEN I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND THE YELLOW MAINTENANCE LIGHT APPEARED GREEN. THIS COLOR SATURATION LASTED A LEAST 1 MINUTE. THIS MEANS THAT A YELLOW STOP LIGHT WOULD APPEAR GREEN AND THAT A GREEN LIGHT WOULD APPEAR YELLOW. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS LEVEL OF INTENSITY SUCH THAT MY RETINA IS SATURATED WHILE STOPPED 5 FEET BEHIND A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

TWO WEEKS BEFORE, I HAD TWO RECALL FIXES DONE FOR MY 2010 CAMRY (STICKY PEDAL, FLOOR MAT ENTRAPMENT). ALTHOUGH FOR THE INITIAL TWO DAYS, IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE IT WORKED, SINCE THEN THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ARE PERSISTING. IN THE PAST, LEADING TO THE RECALL FIX, I HAD LODGED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS (INCLUDING ONE BEFORE THE GAS PEDAL RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT) WITH TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALER. MY CAR HAS A WEIRD TRANSMISSION AT SPEEDS 0-45MPH. THE BRAKING IS ALSO NOT SMOOTH AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS FOR A SECOND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD OR BRAKE WHEN IT SHOULD. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A WASTE OF TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY POSITION AND GET IT FIXED. A SECOND ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE (SINCE THEIR 1800 SUPPORT NUMBER KEEPS YOU WAITING FOREVER) - [INCIDENT: 100130-000604] ON 1/30. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA ON THIS. *TR

2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. GAS PEDAL IS TOO SENSITIVE; THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN YOU PLACE THE SLIGHTEST/LIGHTEST TOUCH ON THE PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THE 2010 AND THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD REPORT IT. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA 2010 CAMRY, BOUGHT JULY 2009, THIS CAR IS NOT SLOW DOWN PROPERLY, IT ALWAYS RUN FOR 2 TO 5 SECONDS THEN I CAN FEEL IT START TO SLOW DOWN,THEN TAKE 5 MORE SECONDS DROP ABOUT 2-3 MILE, IT COMPARED WITH MY OTHER TWO CARS, IT IS REALLY SHOW SOMETHING WRONG IN THIS CAR. THEN I HEARD TOYOTA ANNOUNCE THE RECALL ALL 2010 - 2007 CAMRY FOR GAS PEDAL PROBLEM, SO I BACK TO TOYOTA SUNNYVALE,CA DEALER TO DO THE RECALLED FIXES. HOWEVER, MY CAMRY STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM LIKE BEFORE. SO I BACK TO MY DEALER TO COMPLIANT ABOUT IT, THERE IS SERVICE ENGINEER DID A TEST DRIVE AND WROTE A REPORT SAID IT WORKS AS DESIGN. I TOLD THEM MY OTHER TWO CARS DIDN'T HAPPEN LIKE THIS WAY, ALL THE CAR SHOULD BE DECELERATED WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR RIGHT WAY, TOYOTA ENGINEER JUST DON'T FEEL 2010 CAMRY HAS ANYTHING WRONG. BUT I DON'T FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE OTHER CARS. I THINK IT COULD HAVE POTENTIAL TROUBLE FOR DRIVER SAFETY. PLEASE NOTIFY TOYOTA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON. *TR

I HAVE A NEW 2010 CAMRY WITH 2,000 MILES ON IT. I READ THAT TOYOTA "HAS AGREED" TO A BRAKE OVER-RIDE ON NEW VEHICLES - BUT MINE IS "ONLY" TO GET THE PEDAL FIX. DON'T LET THEM PULL THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES. THIS NEW VEHICLE I'M DRIVING "NEEDS" THE BRAKE OVER-RIDE. LET'S NOT LET THEM GET OUT OF THIS FIX. IT WILL ONLY LEAD TO MORE LAW SUITS AND LOST LIVES. THIS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED AT ALL THE UPCOMING HEARINGS AND THEY NEED TO AGREE TO THE FIX. NOT "JUST" NEW PRODUCTIONS. THIS CAR I HAVE IS A "NEW" 2010 WITH 2,000 MILES. YES, THERE WAS A CRASH, BUT NOT WITH MINE "YET". *TR

PROBLEM: 2010 TOYOTA 4 DR CAMRY: I AM 81 YEARS OLD. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE NEW JERSEY DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE THIS CAR 51/2 MONTHS AGO, I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS OK FOR NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING, BUT I SHOULD GO IN FOR THE MAT/GAS PEDALPROBLEM. I DID & WAS TOLD IT WAS DONE. ON 2/16, I WAS PULLING INTO A SPOT AT CVS. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED TO PUT THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY FLEW UP FORWARD OVER THE CEMENT CURB AND INTO THE DIRT AND BUSHES WHICH, THANK GOD STOPPED THE CAR.

NOTHING HELP. I COULD SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL I WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY, BOUGHT A FORD FUSION AND DROVE AWAY IN MY NEW CAR. I AM CONTACTING YOU NOT ONLY BECAUSE TOYOTA DID NOT TRY TO ASSIST ME WITH MY PROBLEM, BUT ALSO I HAVE BEEN HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE TOLD THEIR VIN # HAD NO GAS PEDAL PROBLEM AS I HAD BEEN TOLD AND MAY FIND OUT THAT IS NOT TRUE - AS I DID. *TR
