2014 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE VENTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT AND THE PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED FOR MOLD AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MOLD WAS BUILDING UP ON THE HEATING VENTS. IN ADDITION, WATER WAS NOT DRAINING FROM THE UNIT CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.

THE REAR WHEELS OF A PASSING TRUCK THREW A BLANKET OF MUDDY WATER ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AS I BEGAN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS ONLY TO FIND THAT THE DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD WASHER (AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER'S WASHER) WETTED ONLY ABOUT 8 INCHES OF THE LOWER WINDSHIELD AT TWO POINTS ABOUT 8 INCHES APART. THE WIPERS WERE INEFFECTIVE IN MOVING THE TWO LOW STREAMS OF WATER HIGHER ON THE WINDSHIELD TO PROVIDE VISIBILITY AT MY LINE OF SIGHT EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TALL. FINALLY THE WIPERS BEGAN SCRAPING OFF THE MUD, WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE WASHER FLUID, PROVIDING ME MARGINAL VISIBILITY. SUBSEQUENT TESTING AT THE DEALER'S LOT SHOWED THAT NEITHER THE 2014 NOR THE 2015 CAMRY WINDSHIELD WASHER WETTED THEIR WINDSHIELD HIGH ENOUGH TO BE REALLY EFFECTIVE. AT MY REQUEST THE DEALER REPLACED THE FACTORY INSTALLED WASHERS WITH ONES THAT ELEVATED THE WATER STREAMS BY ONE MORE DEGREE. ALTHOUGH THE REPLACEMENT WASHERS TENDED TO DELIVER ABOUT 35% OF WATER OVER THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AT REST, AT ANY REASONABLE ROAD SPEED, TO INCLUDE SLOW ONES, THE WASHERS WETTED THE WINDSHIELD WELL ENOUGH FOR THE WIPERS TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY. TOYOTA COULD NOT PROVIDE A MORE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION EVEN WHEN THE CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO THEIR REGIONAL REP. THE WASHERS SHOULD REALLY BE REDESIGNED AND REPLACED FOR EFFECTIVENESS UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I AM WRITING TO NOTIFY YOU OF THE PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH VIN NUMBER [XXX] AND TO REQUEST THAT YOU CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM SPARKS TOYOTA IN CONWAY, SC ON DECEMBER 31, 2013. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS THREE PURCHASING, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF OF MY CAR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: ?AUGUST 12, 2014-INVOICE 388089 ?SEPTEMBER 4, 2014-INVOICE390385 ?NOVEMBER 5, 2014?INVOICE397072 ?DECEMBER 10, 2014-INVOICE400773 ?JULY 28,2015-NO INVOICE NUMBER BUT, TO DATE, THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TALKED TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ([XXX]) AND AUTOMOBILE SERVICE MANAGER ([XXX]) AT SPARKS TOYOTA. I REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER BUT NEVER GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH HIM. I LEFT MY TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL. ACCORDING TO YOUR SERVICE MANAGER, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE. SINCE TOYOTA CANNOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE, I AM SEEKING ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK STRUT FAILED TO KEEP THE TRUNK OPEN DUE TO IT BEING FRACTURED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT TOYOTA HAD CHRONIC FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLES AND THAT THE ROD ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRACTURE WAS DUE TO THE CONTACT'S UPKEEP OF THE TRUNK; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RARELY USED THE TRUNK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 5/12/15*CN

ON AUGUST 11, 2014, WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM ON INTERSTATE 20 IN MISSISSIPPI, I HEARD SOMETHING HARD STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. A MOMENT LATER I SAW A CRACK ABRUPTLY RUN FROM THE EDGE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CRACK HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 12 INCHES BEFORE STOPPING. I INSPECTED THE WINDSHIELD WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT SOMETHING STRUCK THE UNPROTECTED EDGE OF THE GLASS. ON ALL VEHICLES I'VE DRIVEN TO DATE (INCLUDING OUR 2008 TOYOTA YARIS) THE VULNERABLE WINDSHIELD EDGES ARE PROTECTED WITH TRIM OR GASKETS BUT NOT ON OUR 2014 CAMRY. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THAT EDGE PROTECTORS WERE MISSING FROM OUR VEHICLE BUT WE INSPECTED ALL THE CAMRYS AT OUR DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT ALL HAVE EXPOSED WINDSHIELD EDGES. EXPOSED WINDSHIELD EDGES ARE VERY DANGEROUS. ROADWAYS ARE LITTERED AND CONTAIN CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS (GRAVEL, METAL AND OTHER MATERIALS) THAT COULD STRIKE A CAR WHEN DRIVEN OVER AND LAUNCHED INTO TRAFFIC. WHILE SAFETY GLASS WILL ABSORB A GREAT DEAL OF IMPACT, ITS INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED WHEN CRACKED SUCH AS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 2014 CAMRY. ANY SHARP STRIKE TO THE EDGE OF GLASS WILL CAUSE A CRACK TO DEVELOP THAT COULD RESULT IN COMPLETE WINDSHIELD FAILURE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, A SUDDEN CRACK WILL STARTLE A DRIVER AND MAY RESULT IN THEIR LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I UTILIZED THE TOYOTA 3-TIER COMPLAINT PROCESS WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE TOYOTA COMPANY DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS DEFICIENCY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ACCORDING TO MY PERSONAL CONVERSATION WITH THEIR COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA SHOULD VOLUNTARILY RECALL ALL IT'S VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR EXPOSED WINDSHIELD EDGES AND APPLY A PROTECTIVE EDGE GUARD. THEY SHOULD ALSO REPAIR DAMAGED WINDSHIELDS THAT ARE CAUSED BY STRIKES TO THE VULNERABLE EDGES.

CAR EXPERIENCING SHUDDERING @ SPPEDS OF 25 TO 50 MPH. TOYOTA STATES RECALL WAS NOT FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. PROBLEM USE TO BE INTERMITTENT NOW IS CONTINUOUS AND THE SHUDDERING IS HARDER THAN BEFORE. AFTER HAVING TOYOTA CHECK IT MULTIPLE TIMES THEY STATE IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY THAT APPLIED TO THE CAR AT THE TIME.

CAR FEELS VERY SLUGGISH LIKE SOMEBODY IS BREAKING ALL THE TIME WHEN ACCELERATING IT DOES NOT SHIFT GEARS CORRECTLY. AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AT TIMES. I TOLD THEM SINCE THE DAY I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT THAT I FELT THIS I ONLY KNOW WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE DUE TO AN ISSUE I HAD MY LAST CAR WHICH WAS A NISSAN ARMADA PATHFINDER 2004.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THERE WAS POOR VISIBILITY. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN A RURAL AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 6/8/15*CN UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN

PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY,FOOT ON BRAKE SPEED 10MPH.SLOWING TO STOP WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE BY ITSELF.I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED FULL BRAKES,VEHICLE CAME TO STOP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REALLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA ON MONDAY 7/28/2014 TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. UPDATED 4/8/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

APPROACHING STOP SIGN, APPLIED BRAKE AND ENGINE ACCELERATED AND LUNGED FORWARD. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGINE SLOWED DOWN. WITH FOOT STILL ON BRAKE PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN AND LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT A TRUCK. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WE EVEN TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS A WEEK AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" AND THERE WAS A SENSOR IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND IF YOU GOT TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT WOULD MAKE THE CAR STOP. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PERSISTENT NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT. I HAD TO THE DEALER ON 7/3/14 (HAD BEEN HEARING IT FOR SOME TIME BY THEN) BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN AND I DO PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V715000) FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL FOR A POSSIBLE LOWER ARM MALFUNCTION, ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN IT AT THIS TIME. SO I JUST WANT TO GET THIS NOTED, VIA THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

IN JUNE 2014 I BOUGHT A 2014.5 CAMRY BRAND NEW. DURING THE FIRST WEEK I DROVE IT THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT SPEED UP AFTER PRESSING DOWN & HESITATED AS WELL TRYING TO CATCH UP. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA OF ORLANDO & WAS INFORMED IT WAS LEARNING MY DRIVING TECHNIQUES AFTER A TEST DRIVE. THE REPORT WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT & I HAD TO IDENTIFY WHO DROVE ME FOR THE PROBLEM I REPORTED TO PROVE I ACTUALLY REPORTED IT. IT WAS STATED HE JUST FORGOT. THIS KEPT HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY & AFTER ANOTHER DRIVER RANDOMLY DROVE MY CAR & ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN AGAIN NOV 27,2014. THEY DID NOTHING. I WAS REFUSED TO BE SEEN AFTER SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA OF CLERMONT, FL & THEY HEARD OF MY PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. DECEMBER 28, 2014 AS I WAS DRIVING WITH PEOPLE IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AT 55 MPH. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN & IT CONTINUED TO DECLINE. THIS WAS REPORTED THE NEXT MORNING. I WAS TOLD TO PARK MY CAR BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS ON VACATION & NOT TO DRIVE IT. THEY WOULD NOT RENT A CAR FOR ME IN THE MEANTIME. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO BE SEEN IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN IN JANUARY 2015 & WAS ALSO RECORDED BY A PASSENGER RIDING WITH ME. AFTER THAT OCCASION EVERY SIGNAL LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO A DIFFERENT TOYOTA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA DEALER & REPORTED THE PROBLEM & THE MECHANIC STATED NOBODY FROM TOYOTA ORLANDO ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT OR CALL THE SERVICE TECH LINE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ADDED A CODE TO FIX IT AND I LEFT. AFTER 1000 MILES OF DRIVING THE HESITATION STARTED AGAIN & ALSO THE GEARS COULD BE FELT CHANGING BY THE MECHANIC WHO TEST DROVE IT WITH ME. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT CENTRAL FLORIDA GAVE ME A REPAIR ORDER & THEN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT REPAIR ORDER TO CORPORATE. I'VE WRITTEN THE MANUFACTURER DEMANDING MY MONEY BACK & THEY CONSTANTLY GIVE ME FALSE INFORMATION. MY JOB WAS LOST DUE TO NO RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND I'M STILL WAITING TO GO TO A LEMON LAW HEARING THAT WILL HOPEFULLY BE SCHEDULED SOON.

AFTER 3 DAYS I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO LOOKING FOR THE TRUNK LOCK - I.E . THE KEY LOCK FEATURE THAT DISABLES THE TRUNK RELEASE NEXT TO THE DRIVER. ONLY THERE ISN'T ONE! HOW COULD THIS BE? MY RECENTLY TRADED 2003 HONDA AND OLDER HONDA'S I'VE OWNED ALL HAD THIS FEATURE - I ASSUMED TOYOTA DID TOO - A DETAIL THAT DIDN'T LOOM LARGE WHEN INITIALLY REVIEWING THE CAR BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT HAD ONE. SO AFTER RESEARCH AND MUCH TO MY DISMAY (I RETURNED A PERFECT 2014 RAV4 BECAUSE I FELT "EXPOSED" WITH ITEMS IN THE INTERIOR LUGGAGE AREA) I NOW FIND THIS VEHICLE ALSO "EXPOSES" ME TO POTENTIAL LOSS BECAUSE I CANNOT SECURE MY PERSONAL ITEMS. I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMMENT TO THIS FLAW AND TOYOTA CERTAINLY HAS HAD TIME TO CORRECT THE ISSUE (2 YRS) BUT APPARENTLY DECIDED NOT TO. TOYOTA SHOULD CORRECT THIS FLAW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - THE BEST SELLING CAR IN AMERICA CAN BE A THIEF'S BEST TOO. *TR

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 CAMRY SE ON 6-21-2014...DROVE IT LAST NIGHT TO FIND THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS EXCESSIVELY DISTORTED...THROUGH MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR I AM UNABLE TO DISCERN: THE NUMBER OF CARS BEHIND ME...POSITION OF CARS IN WHICH LANES THEY ARE TRAVELING...UNABLE TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLE IS BEHIND ME (I.E. 18 WHEELER, MOTORCYCLE OR A CAR WITH ONE OR TWO HEADLIGHTS). AS I LOOK THROUGH THE REAR MIRROR LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT, IMAGES GET SMALLER THEN BIG THEN BACK TO SMALLER AND SO FORTH. THIS IS ONGOING AND DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CHANGE LANES LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT TELL WHO OR WHAT WAS IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE I THINK... CAN YOU HELP ME? THANKS *TR

MY 2014 CAMRY HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM ABOUT TO BE ON MY 3RD CABIN FILTER DUE TO A MOLDY SMELL IN MY CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE BRAND NEW AND I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE FAULT AND IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THEY REPLACED THE CABIN FILTER FREE OF CHARGE. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER IT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, THE CAR SMELLS MOLDLY AND MY CHILD AND WIFE ARE SURROUNDED BY THIS MOLDY SMELL WHENEVER THE A/C IS ON. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA WITH THE REQUEST FOR THEM TO BUY-BACK THIS VEHICLE FROM ME AS EVERY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED DOESN'T NEED A CABIN FILTER UNTIL 50-60K MILES. TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND FAULT. I WAS ADVISED TO PLACE A COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME HERE SINCE THIS ODOR IS EFFECTING MY FAMILIES HEALTH. TOYOTA HAS BEEN SLOW RETURNING MY CALLS AND HAS ADVISED ME THAT THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE OVER 30 DAYS FROM HERE.

UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A START INTO A TRAFFIC LANE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP, IT JUST STALLED UNTIL THE SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 5 MPH THEN STARTED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED ALMOST EVERY TIME I OPERATE THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. SOMETIMES AFTER SLOWING FROM ABOUT 45 MPH TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND RE-ACCELERATE, IT STALLS FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW SINCE PURCHASE JUNE 11, 2014. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIME DUE TO THIS STALLING WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC AND OTHER CARS ARE EFFECTED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT PROBLEM NEVER APPEARED BEFORE. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. LICENSED TOYOTA DEALER IN WASHINGTON, NC KEPT THIS VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THREE TIME AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THEY NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND JUST KEEP TAKING IT IN FOR INSPECTION. SELLING DEALER, TOYOTA OF NEW BERN, NEW BERN, NC DID NOT WANT TO EVEN DISCUSS WHAT I COULD DO. THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER WILL NOT NOW RETURN MY CALLS. AGAIN TODAY, IT STALLED AND WOULD NOT TAKE THE GAS UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPPED IN TRAFFIC FROM 30 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, IT THEN TOOK THE GAS AGAIN. IT IS LIKE, WHAT I CALL "VAPOR LOCK". TOYOTA HAS ASSIGNED CASE # 1406180890 TO MY COMPLAINT. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE ME INJURY AFTER BEING HIT BY AN APPROACHING VEHICLE AS I ATTEMPT TO ENTER TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE STALL. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIME SINCE PURCHASE AND THE CURRENT MILES IS 2,524.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A HESITATION ON MY 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS DOWN SHIFTING - IT ISN'T. MY CAR HESITATES FROM A COMPLETE STOP, OR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING (MERGING ONTO A HWY OR TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE). THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. VERY DANGEROUS!

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT, DUE TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230. MA 08/11/15 UPDATED 9/7/2017*CN

I FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIRES BOUNCING AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS A TIRE PROBLEM, AND THAT I SHOULD TRY 40 LBS. OF AIR INSTEAD OF THE RECOMMENDED 35 LBS. I CONTACTED A LOCAL BRIDGESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOT TO EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. THE TOYOTA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WERE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THAT IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE TIRES,. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE FRONT TIRES ARE WORN OUT AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO DE ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE BALL JOINTS OR FRONT END SUSPENSION, BUT CAN'T GET ANYWHERE WITH TOYOTA. IF IT'S AN ONGOING TIRE PROBLEM AS THE DEALER SAYS WHY HASN'T IT BEEN ADDRESSED. IF IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHY HASN'T IT BEEN ADDRESSED. AT 50 MILES AN HOUR THE TIRES START TO BOUNCE AND SHIMMY AND THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COOL DOWN WITH A/C AT ANY SPEED. AIR IS ICE COLD AT VENTS BUT NOTHING REACHES THE BACK EVEN AT FULL BLAST. VERY DANGEROUS FOR KIDS OR REALLY ANYONE OVER A FEW HOURS IN 100 DEGREE HEAT LET ALONE 120 DEGREES. THIS WAS A RENTAL AND GLAD NOT STUCK WITH IT. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED, 2014 SE V6 CAMRY WITH 60MILES ON IT, ONLY 5 WEEKS OLD NOW, I DIDN'T NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65+ THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, CAR WILL NOT COME BACK TO CENTER WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, I CAN LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO TURN. FEELS LIKE IM DRIVING ON A VERY RAINY/WINDY DAY, VERY FLIMSY. I WOULD HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT, BROUGHT IT IN TO TOYOTA DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW, HAD 2 ALIGNMENTS DONE BY TOYOTA, STILL NO HELP, ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS, "THATS HOW THE CAR IS DESIGNED", AFTER THAT THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS DEFECTIVE TIRES, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE, I SWAPPED OUT THE TIRES, STILL DIDN'T HELP. SO YOU ARE TELLING ME A CAR THAT DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER IS NORMAL?? I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL?? VERY VERY BAD PERFORMANCE, I WILL NOT LET MY MOTHER DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES, VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD AND MATERIALS USED IN MAKING IT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EVENING OF 25TH APRIL, 2014 DURING RAIN AND I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IF ANY THING HIT AS A PROJECTILE TO MY WINDSCREEN BUT IN THE MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK WHICH HAD SPREAD GREATER THAN A FOOT IN LENGTH. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AND SECONDARY CONCERN IS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT VS REPAIR. IF THE CRACK HAD NOT SPREAD AT SUCH AN ALARMING RATE, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A REPAIR WHICH COSTS 8 TIMES LESS THAN REPLACEMENT COST WHICH IS BEING COVERED BY MYSELF AND INSURANCE. IT JUST MAKES ME QUESTION THE TYPE OF MATERIALS USED, POSSIBILITY OF SUPPLIER MANUFACTURING ISSUE, SOME ISSUE WITH THE RAW MATERIALS USED IN MAKING THE GLASS MOLD BUT OVERALL IT JUST HAS GREATLY DISAPPOINTED ME IN TOYOTA BRAND. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF SUCH REPLACEMENTS BUT I WAS HOPING THAT TOYOTA WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST TAKE THIS SAMPLE AND ANALYZE IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT A TREND AND JUST A SINGLE INCIDENT OF BAD PRODUCT QUALITY. *JS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR TOYOTA CAMRY ON JAN.13,2014 BRAND NEW FROM KOON TOYOTA LEES BURG PIKE,VA..TO DAY APRIL.23,2014 AT 10.21 AM MORNING. I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY CAR LOT OF SENIOR CENTER,I DID NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR .THE CAR ACCELERATED UN INTENDED CAR BECOME OUT OFF CONTROL,SPEED BECOME VERY HIGH AND CRUSH INTO CURB WITH HIGH SPEED AND HIT THE LAMP POST AND ANOTHER PARK CAR, I HAVE PASSENGER MY WIFE HER FACE HIT DESH BOARD AND HER KNEE. I CONCERN ABOUT THAT UN INTENDED ACCELERATED,AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED? AND PASSENGER SIDE SAFETY BELT DOES NOT WORK AS SHE HAVE BELTS ON. TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD CHECK SAFETY CONCERN. THIS BRAND NEW CAR.CAR IS NOT SAFE. COMPLETELY. *TR

MY FATHER WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO PARKING SPACE AT VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH FORCE THAT IT JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE LIGHT POLE. MY FATHER'S FEET WERE NOT ON THE GAS PADDLE. HE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THIS IS A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

NEW CAR PURCHASE. 40 YEAR BUYER OF TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DISCONTINUED A KEY TRUNK LOCKING FEATURE INCLUDED IN ALL PREVIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF TOYOTA. THEY PROVIDE A "VALET KEY" WHICH KEEPS VALETS OUT OF THE GLOVE BOX BUT NOT OUT OF THE TRUNK AS WAS THE CASE WITH ALL PREVIOUS VALET KEYS PROVIDED WITH MY PREVIOUS 3 CAMRY'S AND 2 COROLLAS. TOYOTA DEALER ADVISE ME THAT I COULD GET A KEY LOCKING TRUNK ON THE AVALON A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. HE ALSO SUGGESTED I COULD GET ANOTHER MANUFACTURERS CAR. HONDA HAS KEY LOCKING TRUNKS. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATION OF AMERICA RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION THAT I NOT STORE VALUABLE IN THE TRUNK OR TO REMOVE ALL VALUABLES FROM THE TRUNK WHILE TRAVELING. SINCE THE TRUNK RELEASE CAN BE TRIGGERED BY ANYONE SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, THE TRUNK CAN FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ALLOWING THE CONTENTS TO BE BLOWN OUT OF THE TRUNK AN INTO THE PATH OF FOLLOWING VEHICLES. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PICK UP A KERCHIEF THAT FELL TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE KERCHIEF CAUGHT ON THE RELEASE ANT THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK. THE TRUNK DID BLOCK MY REAR VIEW UNTIL I COULD SAFELY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO CLOSE IT. TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED THAT THE NO KEY LOCK TRUNK WAS A DESIGN ERROR AND MY CONCERN WOULD BE FORWARDED TO SOME DEPARTMENT OR OTHER FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR FUTURE DESIGNS? *TR

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY FIRE RETARDANT SEATS. *SMD THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ISSUED, FOR THE VEHICLES ALREADY SOLD. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON 3/28/2014 I WAS HEADING WEST OFF OF MIKE PADGETT HIGHWAY IN AUGUSTA GA AFTER I HAD MADE ALL OF CURVES ON THE ON RAMP I STARTED TO SPEED UP SO I COULD MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON THE 520 BYPASS WHEN MY CAR VEERED TO THE LEFT HITTING A CONCRETE BARRIER I MANAGED TO JERK THE CAR BACK TO THE RIGHT I PULLED MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND RIM WAS RUINED I PUT THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE TRUNK ON IT WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE FORWARD IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND I GOT BACK OUT OF MY CAR AND SAW THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE POINTED INWARD I THEN GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND CAREFULLY GOT IT OFF OF THE ON RAMP TO A GAS STATION AND CALLED TOYOTA CAR THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO WHERE I WAS AND TOWED MY CAR TO MILTON RUEBEN TOYOTA I PURCHASED THE 2014 CAMRY ON 3/27/2014, THE CAR WAS ADDED TO MY POLICY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THEY GAVE ME A RUN AROUND, I SUBMITTED THE DOCUMENTS REQUESTED IMMEDIATELY AND A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED, THEN THEY TOLD ME ON THE 8 APRIL 2014 AND THEY SAID THAT [XXX] WOULD LOOK AT IT TODAY, SHE GAVE ME A CALL AND SAID THE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THEM LOOKING AT THE MECHANICAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAD 125 MILES, AND THE BODY NEEDS TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO THE ALIGNMENT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I DO? SINCE THE ACCIDENT MY LEFT LEG AND SMALL OF MY BACK HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME WHEN I HAD THE ACCIDENT I DIDN'T THINK I WAS HURT BUT SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE I TRIED TAKING PAIN PILLS BUT IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER . I HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT IN 2004 ON MY LEFT LEG AND THIS IS THE SIDE THAT IS BOTHERING ME NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE HAS LOW (RPM) 650-670 WHEN STOPPED WITH BRAKE APPLIED ON SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED CAR ROLLS BACKWARD BEFORE GAS CAN BE APPLIED. THE CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME IF TOO CLOSE, CAN BE HIT BY MY CAR ROLLING BACKWARDS IDLE RPM SHOULD BE INCREASED TOO 750-800 TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM TOYOTA SAID THEY CAN NOT ADJUST THE IDLE RPM. *TR

CAR IS STOPPED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, A/C IS ON. UPON RELEASING BRAKE BEFORE PLACING FOOT ON GAS THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. THE ENGINE RPM MEASURED AT DEALER WAS 640 TO 670. A REQUEST TO INCREASE IDLE RPM TO 700/750 WAS DENIED. THE ANSWER WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALER THAT RPM IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME OR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

THE TOYOTA CAMRY WAS INVOLVED IN A 2 VEHICLE ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAMRY WAS NOT DRIVABLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN AN INSPECTOR WENT TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE FIRE DAMAGE THAT RESULTED FROM A SLOW BURN COMING FROM THE DASH BY THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 11/07/14 *BF THE CONSUMER DOES NOT WANT HER COMPLAINT PUBLISHED. UPDATED 11/17/14 THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW HER COMPLAINT, TO GIVE THE DEALER MORE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 11/20/14

I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND SHAKES HARD UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR TORQUE INVERTER REPAIR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES, BUT THEY INSISTED THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE CAR SHAKES HARD WHEN DRIVING AT 20-30 M/H AND MOST OF THE TIME AT 40-50 M/H. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HWY AS IT DOESN'TACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

NHTSA RECALL # 14V024 INDICATES AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE ISSUED JAN. 29, 2014 STATING THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WHILE IN DEALER INVENTORY PRIOR TO RETAIL DELIVERY. I DID NOT TAKE DELIVERY UNTIL MARCH, 2014, AND THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED PRIOR TO DELIVERY. THE RECALL FURTHER STATES CUSTOMER OWNED VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS ACTION. SINCE THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED PRIOR TO MY TAKING DELIVERY, DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH THIS DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED?

WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF SEAT FABRIC NOT MEETING FLAMMABLE STANDARDS ON 2014 TOYOTA'S WITH HEATED SEATS AND ORDERING THEIR DEALERS TO STOP SELLING AFFECTED VEHICLES UNTIL THEY GET NEW SEAT FABRIC, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING MY HEATED SEATS. IF TOYOTA CAN NOT OR WILL NOT SELL ANY MORE VEHICLES UNTIL THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED, FOR THE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND OF ALL CURRENT OWNERS, THIS ISSUE MUST ALSO BE ADDRESSED, RECALLED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE USED THIS FEATURE DAILY DURING THIS COLD WINTER AND WILL NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DOING SO UNTIL IT HAS BEEN FIXED. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE A RECALL OF EXISTING VEHICLES BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FIRE NOT AFTER ONE OCCURS. THE HEATED CAR SEAT IS A SEASONAL USE FEATURE WHERE THE DEGRADATION OF THE MATERIAL AND POSSIBLE RESULTING FIRE MAY NOT SHOW UP FOR SEVERAL SEASONS. I, PERSONALLY, HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEATED SEAT AT THE HIGH SETTING BECOMES VERY HOT WHERE I CAN FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE THROUGH A HEAVY, WINTER COAT. WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE A SIGN OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS POTENTIAL, SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM SUBURBAN TOYOTA. WITHIN A MONTH I STARTED GETTING SEVERE NECK PAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. DEALER CHECKED AND SUGGESTED EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT WITH THE SEATS. FEB 28TH - I WAITED FOR ANOTHER MONTH OR SO AND WENT FOR FIRST SERVICE AROUND 4,700 MILES...AGAIN I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I CAN'T DRIVE ANY LONGER AND THE ISSUE WITH THE "HEAD REST" NEED TO BE FIXED. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY DO NOT SEE MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE SEAT. FEB 28TH - AS MY GRIEVANCES WERE NOT ADDRESSED, I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT (800) 331-4331 AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE. THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT BUT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY ISSUES RELATED TO SEAT OR HEAD REST FOR CAMRY 2014 MODEL CARS. MY NECK PAIN IS INCREASING AS I DRIVE THIS CAR. I SUSPECT THAT THERE MUST BE DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS MODEL YEAR CAMRY. I SINCERELY REQUEST YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS IT WOULD LEAD TO PHYSICAL DISABILITY OVER A PERIOD. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR THINKS IT IS IN THIRD GEAR AND COMPUTER HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THIS IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ALWAYS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. .....UPDATED 03-03-15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/21/2017*CN
