2015 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2017, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR MORE I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY OR MADE A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK IT TO VANDERGRIFF TOYOTA AND AFTER TAKING IT BACK A FEW TIMES, ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN HEARD THE KNOCKING SOUND AND SAID IT WAS THE SUNROOF, I HADN'T OPENED THE SUNROOF SINCE THE GUY AT VANDERGRIFF HONDA SOLD ME THE CAR. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, INFORMED THE YOUNG MAN I HAD GOOGLED SUNROOF RECALL AND SAW THAT IT INCLUDED 2014 AND SOME 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, I GAVE HIM MY VIN NUMBER AND HE SAID THIS PARTICULAR CAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I ASKED TO SPEAKE TO HIS SUPERVISOR, HE PUT ME ON HOLD, CAME BACK AND STATED AGAIN THERE NOTHING TOYOTA CAN DO. I DON'T HAVE $2500 DOLLARS OR MORE TO FIX A FACTORY DEFECT AND WOULD THINK TOYOTA WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2017, AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND JUNE 2017. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND THAT RECALL AND FIX MY CAR.

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND STARTED TO CHANGE LANES AND SPEED UP TO THE 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON THE 4 LANE CITY HIGHWAY. AS I SPED UP THE CAR FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS LASTED ABOUT 3 SECONDS THEN SPED UP NORMALLY. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN 50 MILES AT 70 MPH SPEEDS AND HAD SPENT 2 HOURS HAVING LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. CAR WAS PARKED IN 80 DEGREE SUN DURING THE MEAL. THIS "STUMBLE"HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND ONE COMPLAINT FORM COMPLETED (# 10896696).

SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT-END DAMAGE.

TERRIBLE SOUR SMELL COMING FROM AC VENTS

UNDER 15000 MILES UNDER CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. 2015 SE TRIM. BRAKE LIGHT AND "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPREARED ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND I PANICKED AND PUMPED MORE THAN ONCE. HEARD A "THUD" NOISE AND LO AND BEHOLD THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A MAINTAINENCE CODE (WITH THE SCANNER) AND THAT THEY ARE REPLACING "BRAKE BOOSTER". VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO LUCKILY I DONT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. HOW IS TOYOTA ABLE TO GET AWAY WITHOUT A RECALL OF FAULTY BRAKES? HOW MANY FOLKS WILL HAVE TO GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE AN ACTION IS TAKEN.

THE CAR WAS IN OPERATION MODE ON THE FREEWAY, WHILE EXITING THE RAMP- THE CAR STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING FAILED TO MANEUVER , I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE STEERING TO LEFT AND RIGHT- NO IMPROVEMENT. I HAD TAKEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A FAIL ATTEMPT AS THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP QUOTED $350 JUST TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD NEARLY SPENT OVER $1000 IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS- THE FEES DO NOT INCLUDE TOWING FEES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THIS OCCURRED THE EXIT OF THE DIRECTION.

RODENT ATE MY WIRE HARNESS. HEARD THEY WERE SOY BASED WIRES. COST 1729.36 DOLLARS TO FIX. CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY IN FLORIDA AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED IT. THEY TOLD ME AT MIRACLE TOYOTA IN HAINES CITY FLORIDA THAT SOMETHING ATE MY WIRES.

I RECENTLY WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT,I WAS HIT IN THE LEFT FRONT SIDE,OVER THE LEFT TIRE,CLOSE TO THE DRIVER DOOR,I WAS HIT REALLY BAD,MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSE,AND DURING THE ACCIDENT DIDN'T DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AT ANY TIME,I GOT HIT ON THE HEAD

THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. GOT IN A ACCIDENT WITH CAR JAN 2016 THERE WAS DAMAGE THEY DIDNT DEPLOY .WHEN CAR WAS REPAIRED IT WAS FOUND THAT THEY WERE NEVER PLUGGED IN FROM FACTORY ., THE BODY MECHANIC SENT CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER TARBOX IN RHODE ISLAND HE SAID SENSO SAID BAD NEED NEW AIR BAGS. AUTO GUY WENT TO INSTALL FOUND ORIGINALS NOT PLUGED IN INSURANCE COMPANY DIDNT COVER WORK FROM AUTO MECHAMIC OR AUTOBODY GUY. AUOTE BODY GUY INFORMED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND INSURANCE. I LET THEM KNOW AS WELL . AKLL STATE AND TOTYOTA DID NOTHING ABOUT THERE EGRGIOUS ERROR I AM PAYING MORE IN SURNCE SO IAM FILING A COMPLINT FOR THERE WRONG DOING. IT TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE

1ST INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION DRIVING STRAIGHT UPHILL ON 2 LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT 30 MPH - CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD - LASTED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. 2ND INCIDENT: CAR STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT. STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE STRAIGHT AHEAD AND CAR DIDN'T MOVE. STEPPED HARDER ON ACCELERATOR AND CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED AND SPED UP VERY FAST. 3RD INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION AND TURNED ONTO DEAD END STREET. CAR STARTED TO LURCH FORWARD AT SPEED OF ABOUT 20 MPH WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN STREET - LASTED A FEW SECONDS. 4TH INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION ON ROUTE 17WEST IN NY STATE (3 LANE HIGHWAY WITH VERY BUSY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC) - DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 - 70 MPH - IN LEFT HAND PASSING LANE. CAR STARTED TO LURCH VERY HARD AND THEN LOSE POWER - ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT TRYING TO MOVE OVER 2 LANES TO SHOULDER. CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD VERY HARD AND THEN SLOWING DOWN PRACTICALLY TO A STAND STILL - DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES UNTIL WE COULD GET IT OFF EXIT AND INTO A GAS STATION. CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP - THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. CAR IS NOW SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT ANY FURTHER! INNOCENT PEOPLE COULD GET KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. WE HAVE NOW REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO 3 DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR.

AFTER DRIVING THE 2015 CAMRY LE FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR, I NOTICED A MOLDY SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C VENTS UPON START UP. I GOOGLED AND FOUND OUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED IN 2015 IN CA FOR DEFECTIVE HVAC SYSTEM IN 2012 CAMRYS BECAUSE OF MOLD AND SMELLY ODORS COMING OUT OF A/C VENTS. IT APPEARS TOYOTA IS STILL MANUFACTURING CAMRYS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE HVAC PART. I HAD MY MECHANIC DO A PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE MOLD OUT AND PURCHASED THE CHARCOAL AIR CABIN FILTERS. I AM KEEPING RECORDS OF EACH TIME I HAVE THE A/C SERVICE AND FILTERS REPLACED. I HAVE HAD ALLERGY TESTS PERFORMED AND I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD AND MILDEW. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A/C IN CARS EVER AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING 40 YEARS. REGARDING THE SEATS, THEY ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I DRIVE 3 TO 4 HOURS A DAY FOR WORK MON-FRI AND I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE SPECIAL GEL CUSHIONS (COSTING $135) TO MAKE THE SEAT TOLERABLE. I HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAMRY AND LEXUS OWNERS OF THE UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO HEALTH ISSUES. I PURCHASED THE 2015 CAMRY 9/28/15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT HESITATES AS IF THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 -10 FEET JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT THERE INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN NOSE DIVES BECAUSE IT LOSES ALL FORWARD POWER, STEADY PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND MILKING GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RESUME ANY FASTER. SO FAR IT HAS LASTED 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND THEN RESUMES. THE RPMS STAY AT ABOUT 1 (IDLE) AND THE ECO LIGHT FLASHES RANDOMLY BUT CAR DOES NOT STALL SO FAR JUST LOSES FORWARD MOTION AND WONT ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC ONCOMING AND BEHIND YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9-10 TIME OCT 2016-DEC 2016

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

AFTER MY 25,000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK I BEGAN NOTICING A FOUL ODOR UPON ENTERING THE CAR. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS ODOR IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE FANS ARE BLOWING, THE SMELL REDUCES IN STRENGTH. HOWEVER, ANYTIME THE CAR IS OFF, THE CABIN FILLS ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS HORRIBLE FOUL ODOR. TO DESCRIBE THE SMELL I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S SIMILAR TO A GYM LOCKER ROOM MIXED WITH GARBAGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AS MY CAR IS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS SOLELY USED FOR COMMUTING. FOOD IS NOT CONSUMED IN THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY WATER IS DRANK. THE FACT THAT THE SMELL DISAPPEARS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE FANS ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A DEAD ANIMAL PRESENT IN THE CHASSIS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MECHANICAL ISSUE. *TR

HEADLIGHT SWITCH SET ON AUTO, SOME TIMES HEADLIGHTS DON'T COME ON AT NIGHT BUT DASH LIGHTS DO. FIND I'M DRIVING WITH DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT. THOUGHT , AT FIRST, THAT IT WAS MY EYESIGHT BUT WHEN I STARTED CAR 2-3 HOURS LATER I HAD BRIGHT LIGHTS. CAR SAID "CANCELLED" ONCE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED BUT DIDN'T SAY WHAT WAS CANCELLED. WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, STARTED TO PULL IN GARAGE, WHEN THROTTLE OPENED WIDE OPEN, I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKES, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE OR PARK, CAR RAN INTO GARAGE WALL BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. ABS BRAKED SYSTEM WORKED AND I HEARD CLICKING FROM BRAKES. DAMAGE TO CAR EST. $3,000.

MY SON HAD DIFFICULTY BRAKING WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STEPPED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. CONSEQUENTLY, MY SON HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE TO THAT CAR, A TOYOTA. MY SON'S CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 AT LESS THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THESE ARE MY OEM TIRES ON MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 13,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE THE OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 TIRES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH LE MIEUX & SON TOYOTA IN GREEN BAY, WI. THE OWNER IS TOM LE MIEUX AND IS THE PERSON I TALKED WITH AMONG HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALESMAN. THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS ACTUALLY EVEN ACROSS THE FRONT TIRES AT 7/32 AND 8/32 ON REAR TIRES. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER TREAD PATTERN IS ALMOST GONE EACH TIRE AND EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT TREAD PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF THE MIDDLE TREAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED THREE TIMES NOW ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MY MAINTENANCE BOOK. PER TOM LE MIEUX AND HIS STAFF THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF THE ODD CENTER TREAD PATTERN WEAR. TOYOTA PUTS THIS JUNK ON THEIR VEHICLES AND ONE SHOULD ONLY EXPECT TO GET 20,000 MILES FROM THEM. LOOSING THE TREAD PATTERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ALREADY HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES SLIP DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE ALSO SLIP WHEN CORNERING ON WET PAVEMENT. I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY WITH THE SAME TIRES ON IT AND BASICALLY HAD A SIMILAR WEAR ISSUE PROBLEM IN 2008. AT THAT TIME BRIDGESTONE WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TURANZA TIRES AND TOYOTA REPLACED MY TIRES. NOT THIS TIME THEY SAY.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON 6 TIME SINCE 9/16. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, ONCE WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, OTHER TIMES WHEN BRAKING HARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL ERRONEOUSLY TURNED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

V6 ENGINE STUMBLED UPON ACCELLERATION IN TRAFFIC. WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, CHANGED LANES TO GO FASTER BUT FELT LIKE ENGINE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS, THEN IT ACCELLERATED NORMALLY. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS IN 80'S, GAS TANK HALF FULL, NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ABOUT 2 MILES PREVIOUS TO THIS WE WERE SITTING IDLING IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH A/C ON. NO FURTHER EPISODES TO DATE. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD A SIMILAR EPISODE, BUT WASN'T SURE AS IT WASN'T SO NOTICIBLE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER BUT NO ERROR CODES PRESENT, WILL CHECK FARTHER THIS FRIDAY WHEN EXPERT TECH IS THERE. UNKNOWN WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THIS.

DURING AUG 2016 I WENT TO GET SOME LUNCH AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE PARKING RAMP THE CAR WAS FINE. ONCE I ENTERED ON TO THE FWY AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF 50 MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON THE FWY FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT, SO I JUST STAYED IN MY LANE AND BEGIN TO EXIT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I HAD HELP GETTING THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP BY MY JOB AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING UNIT JUST STOPPED. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE RACKNPENION. THE LIGHT WHERE YOU SHIFT GEARS WENT OUT, SO CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WHAT GEAR I'M IN. DRIVE OR REVERSE.

I HAVE A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY LE AND THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION. ON AUGUST 13TH 2016, I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT BUT INSTEAD OF GOING BACKWARDS, MY CAR MOVED FORWARD. I TRIED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR BUT THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK. THESE TWO ABNORMAL MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS COULD CAUSE TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES. I WAS SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR SO I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO INFORM THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA ONLY DID A QUICK INSPECTION AND TEST DROVE THE CAR. AFTER, THEY SAID THE CAR IS IN NORMAL CONDITION AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR BACK TO SERVICE WHEN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IF THE TRANSMISSION OR BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET, I WOULD BE DEAD OR HAVE SERIOUS INJURIES. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOYOTA NEVER ADMITS THAT THEIR CARS HAVE DEFECTS OR FIX THEIR CARS. THEY WILL ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CARS AFTER A FATAL CRASH HAPPENS. TOYOTA DID NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE WILL WORK PROPERLY AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD OR MILEAGE REACHED. A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN TO ME OR OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ANY MINUTE AND I DO NOT WANT BEAR ANY LEGAL LIABILITY TO THE ACCIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT IN CASE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU. *TR

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM HAS FAILED ON TWO OCCASIONS, MAY 10 (17419 MILES) AND JUNE 21, 2016 (19185 MILES). IN BOTH INSTANCES IT WAS WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON 2-LANE HIGHWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BOTH TIMES IT WAS TAKEN TO MY DEALER WHERE THE REPAIR WAS TO SIMPLY RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM.

I'D LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE SHIFTER IS VERY SAFE IN THIS MODEL. I HAD A NERVE RACKING INCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHILE MY KIDS AND THEIR COUSINS WERE IN THE CAR. I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON AN INCLINE. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK. I THOUGHT, WOW, THIS MUST BE QUITE AN INCLINE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WAS IN GEAR, BUT NOTHING WAS VISIBLE ON MY GEAR SHIFT OR ON THE DASH DIGITALLY. I PUT ONE FOOT ON THE BREAK AND ONE ON THE GAS TO EASE INTO WHAT WAS HOPEFULLY STILL DRIVE, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK. I PAUSED FOR A LITTLE BIT, GETTING REALLY NERVOUS BECAUSE NOW I AM SO CLOSE TO THE CAR BEHIND ME. I TOLD THE BOYS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. I TRIED TO 'GUN IT' AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK OR REVERSED AND HIT THE BUMPER OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND E-BRAKE, AND ASKED THE 11 YEAR OLD TO CHECK WHICH GEAR THE CAR WAS IN, IF HE COULD DIFFERENTIATE THE COLOR INDICATOR AND HE SAID NO. BUT WAIT, IF YOU CUP YOUR HAND AROUND IT, HE COULD SEE THE 'P' FOR PARK. IN EXPERIMENTING NOW, IF THE SUN IS REALLY GLARING, YOU CAN'T SEE THE INDICATORS OF THE GEAR, THE CAR DASH DIGITALLY ONLY SHOWS THE GEARS FOR ABOUT A SECOND, WHICH WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KEEP IN VIEW ON THE DASH WHEN IN ANY OTHER GEAR THAN DRIVE. I WAS PRETTY SURE I WAS IN DRIVE THAT DAY, YET THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I FEEL LIKE I DON'T TRUST DRIVING IN MY CAR ANY MORE AS I WAS PRETTY SHAKEN UP AND FRUSTRATED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE IS A NAIL HOLE IN MY REAR BUMPER FROM THE LADIES FRONT LICENSE PLATE I HIT. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS REALLY NICE AND DID NOT PRESS CHARGES. I'M ALSO FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED.

AT 10 A.M. ON A BRIGHT SUNNY MORNING, MY WIFE AND GROWN DAUGHTER GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO BREAKFAST, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR, AND TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE AIR WAS HOT, NOT COOL, I LOOKED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE DASH AND THERE WAS A YELLOW WARNING LITE THAT READ "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM " . I PUT THE GEAR LEVER INTO "D" AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE BUT THE ENGINE REVED UP, I THEN PUT IT INTO "R" AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, THE CAR ENGINE REVED UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT STARTED NORMALLY WITH A/C PUTTING OUT COLD AIR AND THE AUTO MOVING WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A QUALITY INSPECTION AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ASK ME TO REPORT BACK TO THEM SHOULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN, WITH THE TIME, TEMPERATURE, RAIN OR CLOUDY DAY , ECT.. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 6 DAYS AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN.

THE SLANT OF THE WINDSHIELD IS SUCH THAT THE TOP OF DASH REFLECTS IN IT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER IS LOOKING THROUGH THE REFLECTION OF THE DASH WHILE DRIVING, REDUCING CLARITY OF SIGHT. THIS IS A PARTICULAR ISSUE WHEN DRIVING FROM BRIGHT SUNLIGHT INTO SHADED AREAS AND THE REVERSE. THE REFLECTION OCCURS MOST OF THE TIME WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ONLY DURING THE DAY. THE REFLECTION OCCURS AT NIGHT CAUSED BY THE LIGHT FROM STREET LIGHTS. THEN NOT ONLY IS IT DARK BUT THE DRIVER IS LOOKING THROUGH THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED SINCE PURCHASE, JULY 2015.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND AND AS IT CUTS OFF SPLASHES GASOLINE. NOT ONLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO USE THE CAR, IT IS DANGEROUS. I NOTICED THE FLAP OR THE COVER TO GAS CAP AREA NOT SEALED WELL AND WHEN DRIVING SO MUCH DUST SUCKS IN AND ACCUMULATE ON AND AROUND THE GAS CAP AREA. EVERY TWO THREE MONTHS I KEPT CLEANING AND VACUUMING THE GAS CAP AREA. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AND EVENTUALLY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP THE TANK, CONSTANTLY CUTTING OFF AND SPLASHING GASOLINE.

TAKATA RECALL FEELS LIKE A LOOSE PART MOVING WHEN TURNING.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 LE ON DEC 21,2015 I ARRIVED AT MY JOB AND PUT THE CAR IN PARKING THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF AND WENT FORWARD AND HIT A TREE WITH THE IMPACT OF THE TREE IT PUT ITSELF IN REVERSE AND ACCELERATED ITSELF RIGHT INTO OFFICE BUILDING RIGHT BEHIND ME--I CAME OUT OF THE CAR AND ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS TOLD ME TO TURN OF THE ENGINE.

I PULLED UP TO A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND IN DESPERATION I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK ONLY TO HEAR 5-6 LOUD CLICKS AS I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS A 1 OR 2 MPH COLLISION RESULTING IN VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS NEW CAMRY WITH 7200 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TWO MONTHS AGO. THIS TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I BACKED OVER A CEMENT RETAINING WALL IN MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO PULL ME OUT BECAUSE THE REAR WHEELS WERE HANGING IN MID AIR AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ENOUGH TRACTION TO GET MY CAR RIGHTED UP. THE OTHER TIME WAS ANOTHER LOW SPEED EVENT AT ANOTHER DRIVE THROUGH. NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND ALL WAS OKAY . I FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT PAY FOR TOWING OR RENTAL AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS

BRAKE DID NOT HOLD WHILE AT STOP LIGHT - VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT LIGHT

I RECENTLY HAD AN AN "ACCIDENT" IN WHICH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING. ALL AIRBAGS, INCLUDING SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYEYED. I DO NOT THINKE THEIR WAS A FRONTAL COLLISION, AS NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED. THIS VEHICLE WAS A RENTAL CAR FROM ALAMO.

DASHBOARD REFLECTS SUN BACK INTO WINDSHIELD GLASS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN DRIVER VISIBILITY, DRIVER FATIGUE, DRIVER EYE AND HEADACHE, AND OVERALL SAFETY. THIS OCCURS IN BOTH SUNLIGHT AND AT NIGHT TIME REFLECTING STREET LIGHTS.
