2010 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

DURING A SHORT TRIP THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THE LIGHT APPEARED, WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO TOYOTA 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS. THE RESPONSE IS THAT WHILE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR PASSENGERS SHOULD FIRST SIT IN THE CAR AND BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT BEFORE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. I HAVE CONTACT THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER AND WHILE THEY FIRST AGREED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL THEY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICIAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT MOVEMENT OF A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT CAN CAUSE THE (MALFUNCTION) SRS LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I HAVE ASKED WHY THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST 3-1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND DON'T GET ANY ANSWER. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE SRS LIGHT CAN COME ON WHILE ON AN EXTENDED TRIP AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE TRUNK WAS DEFECTIVE SINCE IT WOULD UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

A KNOCK OR RATTLE NOISE, COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, IS HEARD DURING A COLD STARTUP, SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR EVERY OIL CHANGE WHEN IT IS DUE, AND NO DIFFERENT. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAMRY BOUNCING, SWAYING, PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR AXLES SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PULSING OR ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA IS NOT REPORTING THE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. BRAKE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATING AND TOYOTA ASSURED ME MY CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED BUT THE DEALER FIRST BLAMED THE TIRES AND BALANCING. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE LOUD SNOW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SERVICE SPECIALIST. THEY BLAMED IT ON TIRE NOISES AND SAID THE SEE YOU IN THE SPRING WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TIRES AND THEY SPECIALIST SAID YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. I CHANGED THE TIRES TWO DAYS LATER AND RETURNED ON MONDAY. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND SAID NOTHING BUT THEY WILL BE TALKING THE TOYOTA SPECIALIST. I HEARD NOTHING FOR A WEEK AND I HAD TO CALL THEM ON AGAIN ON MONDAY (TODAY). THE SERVICE MANAGERS SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MAILING OVER THE WEEKEND. I KNEW THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WERE HIDING SOMETHING. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A SECOND TOYOTA DEALER AS THE SPECIALIST RECOMMEND. THE SECOND DEALER ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUES BEFORE I GOT THERE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE MY CAR, NOT A MECHANIC TEST, AND ALSO BLAMED THE SNOW TIRES. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO ASKING WHAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE CLOSER TO HOME FOR ME. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA AND OPENED TWO CASES. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF THE CLASSES AND OTHER INFORMATION, THEY SAID THAT WAS FOR IN-HOUSE USE ONLY AND I COULD NOT HAVE THE INFO. *TR

DASH-BOARD IS LIKE LIQUID WAX. I HAD A PIECE OF PAPER ON DASHBOARD WENT TO PICK UP AND MY FINGERNAIL TOOK A CHUNK OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO VACUUM THE DUST ON IT BUT NOTHING PICKED UP, BECAUSE DUST WAS STUCK FAST AND VACUUM WAS LEAVING PERMANENT LINES ON THE DASH. EXTREMELY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND LOOKS TERRIBLE WITH ALL THE DIRT STUCK FAST. *TR

THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AT 23000 MILES CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND I PAID TO HAVE THEM RESURFACED. 8000 MILES LATER THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN WITH THE RESULTING SEVERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS.CHECKING ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRODUCTS AND I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE SUBSTANDARD AND A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE ROTORS WITH QUALITY ONES AND UPGRADE THE ROTORS IN ALL CARS BUILT FROM THIS TIME ON. *TR

CPSC: I1440194A. 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATED AT 23,000 MILES THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED 8000 MILES LATER, THE ROTORS WARPED AGAIN. TOYOTA OFFERED A PARTIAL CREDIT TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, WITH THE SAME TYPE AS A GOODWILL GESTURE. *JB

SINCE THE PAST 60 DAYS THERE HAS BEEN A POPPING, CREAKING AND METAL FLEXING NOISE EMANATING FROM THE ROOF PANEL ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED WHEN CROSSING OVER ANY UNEVEN PAVEMENT SURFACE, THE NOISE BEGAN AT 40,000 MILES, 4000 MILES AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TOYOTA MODELS ESPECIALLY THE CAMRY AND HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE MODEL YEAR 2007 WITH SUN/MOON ROOF INSTALLATIONS, ON CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO THE SUNROOF FRAME/GUIDE RAILS/INSULATION AND HAVE REPAIRED IT ON IT NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALL BEING UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ON MY VEHICLE I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, ON CONTACTING TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM, PER MY RESEARCH THE PROBLEM HAS ESCALATED IN SOME CASES TO THE SUNROOF SHATTERING CAUSING A MAJOR DRIVING AND HEALTH HAZARD AND POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURIES FROM COLLISIONS AND/OR CUTS FROM SHATTERING GLASS. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SUN/MOON ROOF AND REFUSE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CLAIMING EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY.

THE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN BLOCKING VISION. COULD NOT BE FORCED HOLD ORIGINAL POSITION. FINALLY REMOVED VISOR WHILE DRIVING FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR

I HAVE A STICKY DASHBOARD. BESIDES PUTTING A VERY SHINY REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD, IT HAS BECOME VERY WEAK TO THE POINT THAT EVEN A TAP WITH MY FINGERNAIL REMOVES PIECES OFF. IT IS VERY CONCERNING. WHEN I QUESTIONED TOYOTA YEARS AGO THEY WERE WILLING TO CHANGE IT AT NO LABOR COST BUT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE PIECE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DROPPED WHILE DRIVING , IMPAIRING VISABILITY. *TR

IN SUMMER OF 2012 MY DASH STARTED MELTING I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN IT AND WAS UNABLE TO NO MATTER WHAT PRODUCTS WERE RECOMMENDED IN HANDBOOK AS TIME WENT ON IT ONLY GOT WORSE IT IS SO STICKY THAT EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND NOW IT LOOKS TERRIBLE IM COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED TO LET ANYONE IN MY VEHICLE IF I TRY AND TRADE IT OR SELL IT THE DAMAGE DECREASES THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE I FEEL VICTIM TO TOYOTA I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEARS THIS IS MY LAST TOYOTA PURCHASE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO A DEER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED HOWEVER, A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DEEMED AS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON JANUARY 18, 2010 MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A TOYOTA CAMRY, SE MODEL FROM ARLINGTON TOYOTA, JACKSONVILLE, FL. A FEW MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, TOYOTA COMPANY RECALLED THIS VEHICLE MODEL DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE ACCELERATOR GETS JAMMED ON THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNINTENTIONALLY. WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA CAMRY TO ARLINGTON TOYOTA ON JULY 8, 2010 TO RESOLVE THE RECALL PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. ON JUNE 27, 2012, ABOUT 7:00 P.M., MY WIFE AND I WENT TO TIRE PLUS CAR CARE, JUST WEST OF HODGES BLVD ON ATLANTIC BLVD AND ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVE. MY WIFE AND I WERE APPROACHING A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AS SHE WAS SLOWLY PARKING, AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40 ? 50 MILES AN HOUR HITTING THE CURB, THE TREE AND IRRIGATION PIPE ON THE MOUND OF LANDSCAPE IN FRONT OF TIRE PLUS CAR CARE. AT HOME, AFTER WE LEFT OUR VEHICLE TO TIRE PLUS TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES ON MY CAR, I DISCUSSED THE ACCIDENT SCENARIO WITH MY WIFE. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE PARKING AND SHE FIRMLY SAID NO. HER REACTION TO THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BEING SO CLOSE TO THE PARKING CURB, WAS TO STOP THE CAR AND THEREFORE SHE WOULD HAVE JUST HIT THE BRAKE FIRMLY AS HER RIGHT FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TURNED-IN TO RESOLVE THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ON THE FLOOR-MAT MAY STILL HAVE PROBLEM OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AND ESCALATE OUR EXPERIENCE SO WE COULD HOPEFULLY WARN OTHER OWNERS AND HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MAY OCCUR TO CONSUMERS BY A RECALLED VEHICLE THAT UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATE. *TR

AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR FAILED. AND NOT PUMPING. NEED NEW OR REBUILD PARTS ONLY 2 YEAR OLD CAR HAD ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT. MISSED WARRANTY BY 2,000 MILES. *TR

THE DRIVER/FRONT SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MOUNTING BRACKETS. THE DRIVER/FRONT VISOR HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED FORCEFULLY AND DEFECTIVENESS OF PART(S) SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA AS TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT THROUGH A TECH BULLETIN: T-SB-0284-09 AUGUST 21, 2009 SUNVISOR MOUNT LOOSE FOR 2007-2010 CAMRY. PER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AS MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36K MILE WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RE: THIS DEFECT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO REQUEST A FIX UNTIL MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED 36K MILES. ALSO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT TOYOTA AT 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 30K AND 36K MILES AND AT NO POINT WAS I INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS BROKEN SUNVISOR IS A SAFETY RISK AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SOMETIME IN 2012 FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE STRUTS/SHOCKS WERE LEAKING OIL AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD BY INDEPENDENCE MECHANIC THAT THE STRUTS OIL LEAKING PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON TO THE NEWER CAMRY (2010 MODEL) AND IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOKE THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED THE STRUTS, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS "NORMAL OIL EVAPORATION" SO THE STRUTS WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. WHEN OIL IS LEAKED OUT OF A "O RING" FROM STRUT CASING/HOUSING, IT IS A LEAK, AND IT IS NOT "NORMAL EVAPORATION". IS TOYOTA PLAYING GAME WORD GAME ("NORMAL EVAPORATION") TO AVOID WARRANTY COVER TO IT CUSTOMERS (BECAUSE TOO MANY 2010 CARS HAVING OIL LEAKING PROBLEM)? WOULD IT BE A SAFETY ISSUE LATER ON? *TR

AT 46,000 MILES I HAD PROBLEMS WITH ROAD NOISE, SO I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ( RICHARDSON TOYOTA IN RICHARDSON, TEXAS) AND HAD THEM LOOK AT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM, THEY ROTATED THEM TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THEN ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED AGAIN, I WENT TO TIRE SHOP IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS RATHER THAN GOING TO THE DEALER. THEY ASKED ME TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT THE STRUTS AND THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE CUPPING BECAUSE THE STRUTS WERE LEAKING SO BADLY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING THE FRONT END LEVEL. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE PROBLEM, WHICH UPON ARRIVAL WAS TOLD THE STRUTS WERE FINE, AND THAT TOYOTA SAID THE LEAKAGE WAS ACCEPTABLE FROM BETWEEN 10-15%. THEY RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES AND IF I WANTED TO REPLACE THE STRUTS THEY WOULD DO IT FOR ABOUT $1,000 TO $1,200 W/OUT TIRES. MY CAR WAS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA WHICH THEY WOULDN'T COVER ANY STRUT REPLACEMENT. I TOLD THEM WHY WOULD I BUY THE SAME TOYOTA PARTS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN ANOTHER 35-40K MILES. IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR SOMEONE WHO SOLD TOYOTA'S FOR 3 YEARS. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES, MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. THEN I HAD MY 2009 CAMRY INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AT 60,000 MILES THE STRUTS WERE ALSO LEAKING. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED ON THE 2010 CAMRY, THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT BEGAN TO LEAK SEVERE TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HAVING 800 MILES AND A MONTH OF USE ON THE NEW STRUT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY STRUTS AND THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN ON OF THE CARS. *JB

BURNING OIL FOUND THE PROBLEM A 48,000 MILES.I HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF EVERY 1500 MILES KNOW I HAVE 186,000 ITS GETTING WORSE NO OIL ON GROUND

I PURCHASED A CAMRY IN JANUARY 2010, AND 2 YEARS LATER I NEED NEW TIRES. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THIS COULD BE NORMAL, BUT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED 2 OTHER NEW CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO BUY TIRES. THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF MY TIRE IS COMPLETELY BALD. I REGULARLY ROTATE MY TIRES AND GET THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHEN DRIVING BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE ABOUT MY SITUATION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT BECAUSE A WORKER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THE CAMRY'S THAT HE HAS SEEN. *TR

AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL IS MISSING AT EACH OIL CHANGE. MOBILE 0W20 WITH NEW FILTER WAS USED AT EACH 6000 MILES INTERVAL. NO OTHER OIL WAS INTRODUCED TO THE ENGINE AND AT LEAST JUST ONE DELAY AT 7000 MILES INSTEAD OF 6000 MILES (1000 MILES OVER).

ALL FOUR TIRES SHOWED SIGNS OF CUPPING, FRONT ONES THE WORST. SIGNS OF LEAKING AT THE TOPS OF ALL FOUR STRUT TOWERS. TWO TIRES REPLACED BY TOYOTA DEALER. FORWARD TO 9/20/13, 22379 MILES, DEALER DID 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT, STRUTS STILL LEAKING. *TR

ALL FOUR STRUTS SEVERE LEAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THERE WAS A RAPID INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ALL FOUR WHEEL STRUTS HAVE FAILED ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AT 33,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO HARD DRIVING OR ABUSE ABUSE OF VEHICLE. *KB

DASHBOARD MELTED IN SUN AND CREATED A STRONG GLARE WHICH IS EFFECTING VISIBILITY AND CREATED A STICKY MESS WHICH COLLECTS DIRT AND BUGS.

IN LATE 2009, I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 CAMRY HYBRID. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. I HAVE JUST HAD TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AFTER 2.5 YEARS AND ONLY 19,700 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES WERE 4/32 AND RIGHT AT THE WEAR MARK, THE REAR AT 6/32. THE WORN TIRE TREADS BECAME EVIDENT WITH THE FIRST CHICAGO SNOW. AT 10 MILES PER HOUR, I WAS SLIDING AS I DROVE HOME AND, AT ONE POINT, HAD TO SKID INTO A CURB IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO AS NOT TO SLIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN A CROWDED INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR) TO COMPLAIN. HE TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE GUARANTEED FOR FIVE YEARS BUT HAD NO ESTIMATED MILEAGE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. I ALSO CONTACTED ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE TIRES LAST NO MORE THAN 25,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH A BRIDGESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD 40,000 MILES. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL ON MY CAR REGULARLY AND ALSO HAD MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY SIX MONTHS (MY CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE TO DATE). IT IS EVIDENT THAT BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES DO NOT MEET EVEN THE MINIMUM ENDURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING AND STOPPING MY DRIVER SEAT SHIFTS AND MOVE. NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM HAVING THE ISSUE WITH THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND READ THAT IT IS FROM THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD, YET THE YEAR OF MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST TO GET IF CORRECTED. I JUST NOTICED THAT WHEN I START MY CAR YOU HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AGAIN NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE OR NOT. MY AC BUTTON WILL SHOW THAT IT IS ON BUT IT ACTUALLY IS ON. IT IS LIKE THE SENSOR IS GOING OUT ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES DUE TO THE CRASH. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS PENDING AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

STARTED CAR AND TACHOMETER SHOWED APROX 3000 RPM THEN WENT TO IDLE IT LUNGED FORWARD IF I DID MOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. *TR

THE CAMRY HAS A VERY BAD POPPING NOISE IN THE ROOF,SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS IN A BIND WHEN YOU RUN OVER SPEED BUMPS OR DRIVING ON A CURVY ROAD.I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE RECALLS ON 2012 MODELS FOR THE SAME THING BUT WON'T TALK ABOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR MINE,THE DEALERS SAY ITS A 5 TO 7 HOUR JOB AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW STABLE THE ROOF IS.MY CAR IS A 2010 WITH 52,000 MILES JUST LIKE NEW INSIDE AND OUT AND TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THE KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT THEY CAUSED FROM THE FACTORY? PLEASE HELP *TR

BOUGHT 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY NEW. WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON ODOMETER TOOK BACK TO LOCAL DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR NOW HAS 20,000 MILES, AND AFTER THIRD VISIT TO LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALL THEY SAY IS BAD TIRES AND TOYOTA DOES NOT WARRANT TIRES. FILED COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND COMPANY SAYS SAME THING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED AND BLOCKED THE VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VISOR WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES. THE CONTACT FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VISOR KEPT HIM FROM HAVING A CLEAR FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,683.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN I REACHED 70 MPH WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE VERY BADLY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE TIRES AND THAT THE STEEL MESH WAS COMING THROUGH MY TWO FRONT TIRES AND THAT IF I DIDN'T GET NEW TIRES IMMEDIATELY IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I COULD EXPERIENCE A BLOWOUT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. I ENDED UP GETTING 2 NEW TIRES, AND MY 2 BACK TIRES WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON AS THEY WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEATING SYSTEM OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY, I GET THIS FOUL SULFUR SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY RAN TESTS ON IT BUT SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE SMELL THERE'S NOTHING TO DO. THUS FAR TOYOTA HAS WRITTEN IT OFF TO THE SULFUR LEVELS IN THE FUEL, YET I OWN A TOYOTA COROLLA AS WELL AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SMELL HAPPENS AFTER THE FUEL IS BURNED AND PASSED THROUGH THE CATALYST CONVERTER, BUT I'M WORRIED THAT SEPARATE SYSTEMS -- THE HEATING AND THE PROCESS OF BURNING FUEL -- CROSS TOGETHER TO BRING THAT SMELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS BIG TOYOTA RECALL AND HOW THEY TRIED TO BRUSH THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG, BUT I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. THAT IS UNLESS NHTSA IS WILLING TO LET PEOPLE INHALE SUCH NOXIOUS AND POSSIBLY TOXIC FUMES. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY CAUSING GLARE ON WINDOW IMPAIRING DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE PROPERLY. *TR
