2011 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT HOLDING ITS POSITION AND HAS BECOME A HAZARDOUS SINCE IT BLOCKS NORMAL VISIBILITY WHEN DANGLING. CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. UNDER NORMAL TO LIGHT USES THE INSIDE MECHANISM BROKE. 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR EARLY BREAKDOWN. BUT 2011 MODEL I BELIEVE HAS SAME PARTS BUT WAS NOT RECALLED OR FIXED. TOYOTA IS PROVIDING CHEAP QUALITY PARTS AND PUSHING THE BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER. THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND MAKE TOYOTA TO RECALL THIS PARTS.

NUMBER 1 ISSUE. I HAVE TAKATA PSAN AIRBAG INFLATORS, THAT CAN RUPTURE CREATING A PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. NUMBER 2 ISSUE. I HAVE FRONT WHEEL TIRES THAT SEEMS TO WEAR OFF WITHIN A YEAR. MY 4 WHEELS WERE REPLACED IN 2015. I NEED THE 3RD SET TODAY. NUMBER 3 ISSUE. MY DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY.

THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY STARTED DROOPING WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE. I HAD TO REMOVE. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY CAR.

THE SUNVISOR WON'T STAY UP.

APPROXIMATELY ONE AND 1/2 MONTHS AGO (MAYBE LONGER?), THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTING TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I MOVED IT UP (CLOSED) AND DOWN (OPEN). TONIGHT, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW. I COULD NOT MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO GET IT OUT MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD SAFELY. I ENDED UP REMOVING IT COMPLETELY WHEN I GOT HOME IN ORDER TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I HAVE NO SUN VISOR. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA, DRIVE EAST IN MORNING & WEST IN THE EVENING. I HAVE TO REPLACE/REPAIR THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

BALL JOINT HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE 2015. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY YEAR AND MAKE ALREADY BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED

PURCHASED TWO RAIN X WIPER BLADES #5070277-1 AND 5079280-1 ON 6/29/2015 AND AFTER USING THEM FOR 30 DAYS THE RUBBER INSERTS WHERE TOTALLY GONE LEAVING THE PLASTIC TO CONTACT THE WINDSHIELD. THE PLASTIC CONTACTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED THOUSANDS OF SCRATCHES. THESE SCRATCHES MAKES IT HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE SCRATCHES.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR INSTANTLY BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. ONE WEEK LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNVISOR BROKE WHILE PLACING IN THE UP POSITION. BOTH SUNVISORS ARE CURRENTLY HANGING LOOSE AND I AM UNABLE TO ADJUST THEM AT ALL. BOTH ARE BLOCKING MY VISION, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER SIDE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THOUSANDS OF CARS' SUNVISORS DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MINE 'BECAUSE THEY DECIDED NOT TO FIX MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER'.

NOTICED A LARGE KNOT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS EARLIER. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER OF COOPER TIRES AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF WE HAD FAILED TO NOTICE THIS, IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. BEING ON THE FRONT, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRO RATED RATE. AFTER READING ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT, WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH BRANDS. THE TIRES HAVE NOT HELD UP TO THE MILAGE THAT WAS ADVERTISED. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILES ON THEM BUT THEY ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE WEAR BARS. WE HAVE RECORDS AND ALL THE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THESE TIRES. THESE WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAMERY!

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT BECAME FLOPPY AND DROPPED DOWN INTO MY DIRECT LINE OF SITE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER 2011 CAMRY'S EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN/VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY FOR TOYOTA AND EXTREMELY SCARY FOR MY SON AND MY SAFETY. I HAVE OWNED THREE CAMRY'S AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I JUST WANT MY VISOR FIXED! I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHERS SAY THE SAME THING. I FEEL THEY SHOULD EXPAND THE WARRANTY POLICY TO APPLY TO ALL 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN VISOR ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES FRACTURED AND FAILED TO STAY UP. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE 30K MILES MAINTENANCE CHECK UP AND EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 38,500 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. COULD THIS BE A DEFECT, FOR I HAVE READ OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE? I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,400. MA 10/21/15 THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS ON HIS THIRD SET OF TIRES. UPDATED 03/31/16. *JB

DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2015 MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY ALL THE WAY AND WAS ABOUT 15% OF THE WAY DOWN. WHILE THIS WAS IN MY LINE-OF-SIGHT IT REALLY DID NOT IMPEDE MY VISION OR ABILITY TO DRIVE. MID-2015 THE VISOR NO LONGER WAS ABLE TO HOLD ITSELF UP AND WAS FULLY DOWN AT ALL TIMES COMPLETELY IMPEDED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD AS I AM A TALLER DRIVER. I HAD TO REMOVE IT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR VIN. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY TWO 2011 CAMRYS THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WMI CODE 4T4. I KNOW I PURCHASED ONE OF THE FIRST 2011 CAMRYS AS I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2010 (WELL AHEAD OF THE NORMAL RELEASE CYCLE) WHEN TOYOTA WENT THROUGH THEIR BIG (BRAKE PEDAL / FLOOR MAT) RECALL. I ONLY FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST A CERTAIN POPULATION OF 2011 CAMRYS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE 2011 CAMRY TO HAVE ISSUE AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED VIA DIFFERENT FORUMS AND HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THEIR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND WILL NOT STAY UP. FELL DOWN INTO VIEW WHEN DRIVING. VISOR FINALLY FELL OFF THE SWING ARM AND IT IS DUE TO A CRACKED/SEPARATED PLASTIC HOUSING WITHIN THE VISOR THAT THE SWING ARM INSERTS INTO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SEAT BELT TWISTED AROUND THE REAR PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT, BUT IT CONTINUED TO RETRACT.

THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 10/31/2017*CN

STARTER MOTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION. BATTERY DIAGNOSED AS FULLY CHARGED. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT IN FULL OR IN PART PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE STARTER MOTOR BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOW, THE VISOR HAS COME COMPLETELY OFF, WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET IT TO STAY BACK UP. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-2011 CAMRYS FOR THIS ISSUE. CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY AND BRACKET. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOYOTA, THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE OTHER CAMRYS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END A PARKED VEHICLE.

THERE WAS A SOFT AREA CONCERNING THE MATERIAL, WHICH WAS NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND NEAR THE MIDDLE FRONT PORTION OF THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A STICKY RESIDUE THAT PROGRESSED AND CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY A CLOTH OVER THE AREA BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF NORTH MIAMI, 16600 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (305) 974-1103) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A MANUFACTURER RECALL AND THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DEFECTIVE SUNVISOR (LEFT) WHICH WAS A SAFETY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IN TOYOTA CAMRY PRODUCED BETWEEN FEB 2006 AND FEB 2010. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY 2010 AND THEREFORE NOT PART OF SAFETY. TOYOTA SHOULD CONSIDER INCREASING THE WARRANTLY ENHANCEMENT.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR. AS SHE WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN SHE BECAME TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WOULDNT STOP. SHE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND SHE ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO A VAN. SHE WAS BRUISED AND SCRAPPED UP CAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED

HELLO. I HAVE PURCHASED TWO NEW CAMRYS, IN 2007 AND 2011. IN BOTH OF THEM THE SUNVISORS HAVE COME DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP IN POSITION. I PURCHASED A NEW SUN VISOR FOR THE 2007 CAMRY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT NOW BOTH OF MY SUNVISORS IN MY 2011 CAMRY ARE DOING THE SAME. I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2011, BUT THERE IS ONE ON THE 2007. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE IN BOTH VEHICLES, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU ALL WILL DO ABOUT THIS?

EXECESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERYTIME I CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL IT SUPPOSED TO BE GOING 5000 MILES INSTEAD THE OIL GOES VERY VERY LOW ON 700 MILES. I HAVE TO ADD TWO QUART EVERY AFTER 700-800 MILES.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CAMRY SLE USED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN. 2014, MY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 55-70MPH. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED WHERE I PURCHASED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING CAUSING THE VIBRATION AND MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN (HIGH/LOW SPOTS IN ALL TIRES). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA (AFTER HAVING BEEN THERE THE WEEK BEFORE FOR A SERVICE) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ONLY LEAKING SLIGHTLY AND THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE AMOUNT LEAKING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY LEAKING ISSUES AT MY SERVICE AND IT WAS EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE CHECKED AND FINE. I REPLACED THE FRONT TWO TIRES AGAIN A BOUT A MONTH AGO THINKING IT MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TYPICALLY GET REPLACED AT $70,000 BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND THAT I SHOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED SINCE THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN VISORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE NEW FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADRESTS FORCE YOUR HEAD TO BE AGAINST THE HEADREST AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO LOOK SIDE TO SIDE, FORCES YOUR HEAD FORWARD SO YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN RATHER THAN OUT THE WINDSHIELD AND PUTS A STRAIN ON THE BACK. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING WHICH PUTS YOU AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR IS FAULTY AND WILL NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. IT IS BLOCKING MY VIEW. THEY HAVE A RECALL BUT MY VIN NUMBER WASNT INCLUDED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT TOYOTA BY PHONE. I CALLED THEM AND THEY DONT WANT TO REPLACE IT.

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT EXCESSIVELY.

THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SPEED 60 MPH. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. ME AND MY PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEATBELTS. WE HAD A LOT OF CHEST PAIN AROUND THE INCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE THIS JERKING MOVEMENT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA IN WILSON, NC WHEN I TOOK THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT, BUT IT STILL DOES THAT TODAY. I USED 87 OCTANE GAS, BUT I DID PUT 89 OCTANE IN THERE ONCE AND THE PROBLEM SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER LETS ME HAVE ANY WORK DONE WITHIN THE WARRANTY, I ALWAYS HAVE TO PAY. SO ARE THEY WAITING FOR THE WARRANTY TO WEAR OFF? ALSO, I HAVE NOT HAD ALL THESE RECALL ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF CONCERNING THE TIRES, THE OVERLOADING CAPACITY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,800.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vinyl on the dashboard had degraded and had become sticky. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer refused to repair the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had worsened. The vinyl dashboard degraded to a point and when touched, the fingerprint was imprinted on the dashboard. The contact stated that during hot weather, there was a burnt plastic odor coming from the vehicle. The contact opened the windows to eliminate the odor from the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact was informed that the vehicle was listed in the Customer Support Program (CSP) over three years ago. However, the Customer Support Program (CSP) had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The VIN was not available.

CAR LOST BRAKES WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET. ALL THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME (ABS, PARKING BRAKE, BRAKE WARNING) ON ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING. HAD TO PRESS BRAKES ALL THE WAY AND EVEN THEN THE BRAKING WAS VERY MINIMAL. IT WAS HARD TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. INTERMITTENTLY THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BECAME HARD TO TURN. PULLED TO SIDE, TURNED OFF CAR. STARTED CAR UP AND THE SAME SET OF WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON DROVE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS 1 BLOCK AWAY. BRAKING WAS HARD, BUT COULD BRING CAR TO A STOP DEALER SAID BRAKE COMPUTER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL / WARRANTY COVERAGE FROM TOYOTA ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FOG LIGHT HAS BROKEN ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY COSTLY DESIGN FLAW THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. REPLACEMENT OF THE FOG LIGHT IS ABOUT $250.00 I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BECOME A RE-CALL ITEM FOR TOYOTA. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON SECONDARY ROAD WHEN A DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AND HIT MY CAR; FIRST IMPACT HIT AT MY DRIVERS SIDE AT FRONT LEFT OF CAR THEN ALSO SHE HIT THE LEFT BACK SIDE OF MY CAR WHICH SWUNG AROUND AT IMPACT. DRIVER STATED SHE DIDN'T SEE MY CAR. SHE WAS TICKETED AT FAULT AND BOTH OF US WERE TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL, NOT EVEN THE SIDE IMPACT BAGS! I HIT MY HEAD ON EITHER THE WINDOW OR THE UPPER DOOR AND SUSTAINED A HEMATOMA ON MY TOP LEFT SKULL AND POSSIBLE CONCUSSION AS WELL AS NECK AND BACK INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A TOYOTA OFFICIAL TOLD ME LATER THAT FROM EVERYTHING HE KNOWS, THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS INSTANCE,

I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND WHEN I WOULD CLOSE MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR. EVENTUALLY, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, IT WOULD HANG A LITTLE BIT. EVENTUALLY, IT STATED HANGING TO WHERE IT WAS ALWAYS DOWN. FINALLY, THE MOUNT (OR WHATEVER THE PART IS THAT IT CLIPS INTO) BROKE OFF SO I HAD TO REMOVE IT. NOW THAT IT IS MUCH SUNNIER MOST DAYS, IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THE SUN VISOR, ALSO, I AM NOW STARTING TO HEAR THE POPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SUN VISOR AND IT IS STARTING TO HANG A LITTLE BIT. *TR
