What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request The odometer system of the vehicle has malfunctioned. The odometer reading, which displayed 118,204 miles at the time of purchase, has stopped working entirely and does not record additional mileage. Evidence suggests that the odometer was tampered with or manipulated prior to the sale, as a vehicle history report reveals the car had accumulated 290000 miles before the purchase. The vehicle and odometer are available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The odometer fraud poses a safety risk because it misrepresents the vehicle’s condition. With the mileage inaccurately reduced, the car’s actual wear and tear could lead to unexpected mechanical failures. Components like the engine, transmission, and brakes might have significantly higher usage than I was led to believe, increasing the likelihood of breakdowns or accidents. I was also unable to make informed maintenance decisions due to the fraudulent mileage reading. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, an independent service center confirmed that the odometer is no longer functional and has likely been tampered with. Additionally, a vehicle history report (e.g., from Carfax or AutoCheck) confirms that the car had significantly higher mileage before it was sold to me. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, but it has been assessed by an independent mechanic. I am in the process of reporting this issue to law enforcement and my state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). I am prepared to make the car available for further inspection by any relevant authorities.

Toyota 2017. 75000 miles transmission is bad
Oct 17, 2024
Defect in the windshield- Lamintaed glass- Due internal stress in the inner glass layer, pieces of the glass started falling in my lap as I was driving. Please investigate. Called Toyota Customer Service Group and they failed to understand the safety of this issue. Laminated glass should not separate by having pieces of glass in driver's lap and reating a hole in the upper corner of the windshield

I have a 2017 toyota camry with only 30k miles and the servo motor has gone bad. that's what the dealership told me. i was told by dealership this is a common problem, yet Toyota doesn't have a bulletin for this issue. i am looking on [XXX] and see it's listed and several other websites. i was told repair cost can be $1,4000 - 4,800. Car has only 30k miles so i am quite surprised that it's needing this costly repair. Furthermore, given the fact that it's a known issue why did Toyota not have a bulletin for this? Are they trying to pass this cost onto the consumer? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle was involved in accident on 08/22/2021. The speed was 55-60 mph . The vehicle in front, a 2014 Chevrolet 4wd full size pick up changed lanes (left to right) clipping the left front of the Toyota & slammed on brakes. The Toyota went under the bumper & right rear fender of the truck. The damage to the Toyota included the ECU, ABS & brake components, wiring harness & fuse/relay blocks, & all of the sheet metal, bumper, A/C,etc. Insurance company opted to repair the vehicle (cost is now approaching $18,000). My wife & granddaughter (adult) were the front seat occupants. They both sustained bruises but no serious injuries. If the air bags do not deploy in an accident that destroys the entire front end of a 4 year old vehicle with 25,000 miles (we purchased new), what does it take for them to deploy? Does not give us much confidence in the safety. The vehicle is currently at Greenville Toyota Body Shop in Greenville,SC. Repairs started 09/02/2021. Waiting for interior wiring harness. No warning lights or issues before the crash. The battery was destroyed in the crash.

I purchased this vehicle from D-276 Adam's Toyota in Lee's Summit on or about 8/9/2021. After 250 miles of driving I began to noticed a stutter in the shifting from first to second gear. No other incident was noticed for 2 to 3 days. I was on the interstate a few days later from the first stutter when it occurred again but more pronounced. I do remember that I was accelerating at about 40% throttle because I was in a rush, and I believed the throttle intensity played a role in the abruptness of the stutter. When I reached the interstate I came to a cruising speed of around 70 and engaged the cruise. I noticed that it was behaving oddly and it would shift often to control the speed it's almost as if it's tolerances are extremely tight. The hard shifting continues but now I know to go light on the throttle to minimize impact. As for the cruise control I will only use cruise control on relatively flat roads whereas it is extremely shifty on hilly roads. (Opinion begins) I believe the adaptive cruise control should have wider tolerances I only see this as contributing to transmission degradation.

SINCE I PICKED UP THE CAR NEW THE CRUSE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK IN THE RAIN...ORE EVEN IF I WASH THE WINDSHIELD IT WILL GO OFF. CAR IS ALWAYS GOING AT 30+ MPH

SERVICE BRAKES

I am deeply concerned and appalled about the safety issue with the 2017 Toyota Camry, which rolled back while it was parked in the driveway of my parents’ house, and resulted in my mother’s foot being crushed. She is currently hospitalized and has been dealing with complications and damages related to this injury. At the time of incident, my father called 911 and paramedics arrived to the scene, and took my mom to the emergency room. I do not have a police report. This dangerous malfunction, which caused the vehicle to move despite being in a parked position, poses serious risks to driver and passenger safety. It is unacceptable that a vehicle of this nature could fail to securely hold its position, leading to injury. We are seeking a thorough investigation into this issue to prevent further harm to others. The vehicle is available for inspection upon your request.

WHEN BACKING UP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE'S A LOUD CLUNKING, MOST NOTICEABLE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE NOISE COULD BE THE WRONG BRAKE PADS WERE INSTALLED, OR POSSIBLY THE INSTALLATION OF THE PADS WASN'T DONE CORRECTLY BY THE TECHNICIAN, CAUSING THE PADS TO NOT BE LOCKED INTO PLACE ON THE BRAKE CALIBER. HAVE NOT BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO DATE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED SO WITH 32K, IT HAS 36K, STILL HAVE ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I BOUGHT WITH THE VEHICLE SO WILL SEE HOW MUCH CONSIDERATION I'M GIVEN.

REAR BACK BRAKES ARE NOT SAFE THEY LOCK UP. TOYOTA 2017 CAMRY PURCHASE 9/2016. 8/2018 , HAD 5 PT INSPECTION BRAKES WERE GOOD 8MM ALL 4 AT 27000 MILES. THEN 10/2018, LEFT REAR WHEEL SCREECHING NOISES & WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HOT TO TOUCH AFTER DRIVING15-20 MINUTES. DEALER SAID IT "WAS ENVIRONMENTAL", FOUND THAT REAR BRAKE WAS FROZEN IN BRACKET AND SITTING SIDEWAYS. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? THEY DID SAY IT WAS THE WAY I DROVE AND ENVIRONMENTAL. THEY FIXED IT AND COST ME $500 I ASKED IS THIS DANGEROUS IF BRAKE FREEZES.? 1 YEAR LATER 10/2019 AND ONLY 11000 MILES ON THE NEW BACK BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO THE SAME WHEEL, LEFT REAR. . I CALLED DEALER AND BROUGHT CAR IN. WHAT A DILEMMA. AGAIN THEY SAID IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL?? DUST??. THEY REPORTED THAT THE THE NEW BRAKES PADS ARE NOW 7MM AFTER REPLACING THEM IN 10/2018?? HOW SO ? IT APPEARED THAT AGAIN THE PADS GOT STUCK IN THE CALIPER BRAKET WHICH THEY CLEANED UP AND LUBED. SAME PROBLEM IN 10/2018 I ASKED WHY IS THIS HAPPENING , COULD THE CALIPER AND BRACKET BE DEFECTIVE. THEY SAID IT IS THE MATERIAL CORRODES FASTER. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE A BRAKE INSPECTION CLEANING EVERY YEAR FOR $125 AS PREVENTATIVE. NOW HOW DOES A CAR AFTER JUST THREE YEARS HAVE ANOTHER BRAKE PROBLEM, THE REAR LEFT WHEEL. ALL OTHER WHEELS/BRAKES ARE GOOD? SO IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL FOR ONE WHEEL?? HEADQUARTERS OF TOYOTAS KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND TELLING THE DEALERS TO TELL THE CUSTOMER THAT IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL. ALSO DEALER ADMITTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER CARS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HDQT KNOW ABOUT IT BUT NOT DOING A THING. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A POTENTIAL BRAKING PROBLEM THAT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE BRAKE FREEZES AND I AM NOT AWARE OF IT AND THE BRAKE PAD DETERIORATES ON A LONG DRIVE. TOYOTA SHOULD OWE UP TO THE POOR QUALITY OF MATERIAL THEY ARE USING CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO ARISE.

Second time this has happened in 2 years. Driving on the freeway and the car’s electrical system shuts off. No power to any electrical, lights flicker, all dash lights came on. Car would not start, then to repair it the battery needed to be replaced and the alternator needed to be replaced. Very dangerous as I immediately lose power steering, lights, etc.

AT 45000 MILES A RATTLE OVER BUMPS AND AT LOW SPEED DEVELOPED UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE RATTLE INCREASED UNTIL I BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WITH 50000 MILES ON IT . THROUGH THE PROCESS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $135 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, $555 FOR LABOR AND $757 FOR THE STEERING COLUMN. THE NEW COLUMN SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE OF LOOSE PART OR PARTS IS INSIDE OF THE COLUMN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. THE SERVICE TECH AT MY DEALER TOLD ME THERE HAS BEEN OTHER CASES OF STEERING COLUMN LOOSENESS AND REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS. I WISH TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 2017. THIS CAR HAS VERY SENSITIVE STEERING AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A 1-2 DEGREES OF VERY LOOSE, FLUID, NO-RESISTANT MOVEMENT SPACE IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LACK OF ANY RESISTANCE IN THE STEERING MAKES THE DRIVER NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP CORRECTING THE STEERING FOR THE CAR TO STAY IN LANE. ACTUALLY, A SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE THE CAR TO JUMP IN THAT DIRECTION. THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT ALSO REQUIRES A LOT OF CONCENTRATION AND IT MAKES ME TIRED, ESPECIALLY MY HANDS. MY CAR HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEMS (EPS). I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER SHOP. THEY CHECKED IT WITH A COMPUTER AND THERE WERE NO EPS FAULTS. ALL CAME OK. THEIR HELP ENDED THERE. THIS HOWEVER DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Well when I pressed the gas pedal the vehicle stalled. It's happening now very often when I'm accelerating. Checked for dtc and none found . No check engine light on. Most likely fuel pump/ fuel supply problem. Fuel pump cost 412.00 dollars. Toyota needs to help cover my repair.
Feb 18, 2022
Experiencing vehicle hesitation when accelerating to go around another vehicle or going through traffic coming from another way. Very uncomfortable producing anxiety in not knowing what may happen. This incident happens frequently and unable to give specific date as to when it first began. My wife is noticing it's occurrence more frequently.
Jul 14, 2021
I PURCHASED THE CAMRY FROM DEALERSHIP, THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO PUT GAS IN IT THE FILLER NECK HAD A LOT OF DIRT IN IT. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND WITH A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THERE THEY PUT A NEW CAP ON IT, AND INSISTED THAT WOULD FIX THE DIRT PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER I WENT TO PUT GAS IN CAR AND IT HAD A LOT OF DIRT INSIDE THE FILLER NECK AGAIN. I SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA SERVICE AND WITH CONTACT WITH TOYOTA THEY INSISTED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WITH DIRT GETTING INSIDE WAS NOT A PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THE EVAP SYSTEM HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH TO ALLOW FOR THIS TO OCCUR AND NO SYSTEM DEFECT COULD BE IDENTIFIED.

SUSPENSION

MY CAR IS 46K AND ALREADY HAVE A SUSPENSION PROBLEM THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN MY CAR STARTED VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TIRES ARE FEATHERING IN THE MIDDLE WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS CAUSED BY A BAD SUSPENSION. I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO DO MY 5K MAINTENANCE AND NO ONE SINGLE PERSON HAS EVER MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM TO ME UNTIL NOW THAT IS SUPER LATE AND VERY DANGEROUS. I'M ALWAYS TRAVELING AND DOING ROAD TRIPS FROM KS TO FL AND FROM NY TO FL AND FROM CANADA TO NY AND SO ON AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS MUST BE HAPPENING FOR A WHILE NOW SINCE THE TIRES WERE JUST REPLACED AT 19K

WHILE TRAVELING OVER A SPEED BUMP, DRIVEWAY ENTRY, OR RAILROAD CROSSING, A LOUD MECHANICAL CLUNKING SOUND OCCASIONALLY COMES FROM THE CAR. THE CLUNKING SOUND IS DEFINITELY FROM THE FRONT, AND APPEARS TO BE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION. THE SOUND OCCURS WHEN THE CAR COMES DOWN TO ITS LOWEST POINT OF SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS CLUNKING SOUND OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY OVER SPEED BUMPS, AND OCCASIONALLY AT DRIVEWAY ENTRIES, AND RAILROAD CROSSINGS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WITH THE BRAKES ON AND OFF. THE SOUND HAS MOST FREQUENTLY OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEEDS AND OCCASIONALLY OCCURRED AT NORMAL STREET SPEEDS. THE CLUNKING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND WHILE IT IS STRAIGHT. THE CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD, AND THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED BETWEEN 8K-9K MILES. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, OR ANY CONDITION THAT WOULD DAMAGE THE SUSPENSION, AND THE SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED FOR THE ISSUE YET. THE CAR WILL BE INSPECTED AT THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE OF 15K MILES. THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE EXACTLY REPLICATED DURING A TEXT DRIVE, BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE A NUISANCE.

BUMPER GOT HIT
Sep 08, 2019
AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL WHERE THE EMBLEM IS LOCATED IS BUBBLING SIGNIFICANTLY. THE "CHROME" LOOKING PLASTIC ISN'T HOLDING UP TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAMRY. I WASH MY VEHICLE TWICE A MONTH, SO NOT TAKING CARE OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THE ISSUE BY ANY MEANS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS NO LONGER ON MY COVERAGE FOR WARRANTY. I DO NOT FEEL A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD HAVE COSMETIC ISSUES LIKE THIS AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF ITS 16 MONTH LIFE SPAN THE CAR WAS GARAGE KEPT. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE THAT OFTEN.

BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE FROM POTHOLES! I HAVE 225 45 18 TIRES ON MY 2012 CAMRY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE I'VE HAD THE SIDEWALL FAIL THE EXACT SAME WAY SINCE BUYING THEM 2 YEARS AGO. THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT MAYBE 20 MPH. EVERY TIME THERE IS A 3 TO 4 INCH CUT ALONG THE BEAD OF THE TIRE THROUGH THE CORDS. I WORK FOR FIRESTONE AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PATTERN MANY TIMES ON VARIOUS CAR, NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO SIZE. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR REAL WORLD USE

VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH RATTLING/TICKING SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING ON CITY, HIGHWAY, AND INTERSTATE ROADS OVER NORMAL ROAD BUMPS THAT IS COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR PANEL/SEAT BELT RETRACTOR PILLAR AREA. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE MY ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SOUND EVEN THOUGH I HAD MULTIPLE VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN IN FOR FOUR SEPARATE VISITS WITH ANOTHER LOCAL SHOP TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THAT SHOP INSTALLED A NEW SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AND PILLAR TRIM ALONG WITH FOAM. NONE OF THOSE ATTEMPTS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. $400+ DOLLARS HAS BEEN WASTED TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A QUALITY ISSUE ON TOYOTA'S PART THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

WHEN DRIVING OVER MEDIUM SIZED BUMPS IN THE DRIVEWAY, OR GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THE FRAME OF THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TWISTING AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN HERE A POPPING NOISE. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS COMING FROM THE SUSPENSION, BUT MORE SO FROM THE TOP OF THE C-POST (REAR ROOF). I DO NOT FEEL IT IS A HUGE ISSUE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THE BODY METAL IS BENDING EACH TIME. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE DEALERSHIP YET, BUT AFTER READING THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT DOESN'T SOUND TO ABNORMAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE CAMRY.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HOV LANE ON THE 170 AT 6:30PM. 2/7/2020. THERE WAS A SUDDEN WHITE FLASH AND EXPLOSION. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. ALL I COULD SEE WAS OUT MY REAR WINDOW. I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT IT STOPPED IN THE FAST LANE. ALL I COULD SEE WHERE CARS SWERVING TO MISS US. I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY HAZARDS COULD BE SEEN AS I COULDN'T SEE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES HOPING THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AND THE CARS COMING COULD SEE THEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE MY THROAT AND LUNGS WERE BURNING. MY DAUGHTER WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. I COULDN'T MOVE BECAUSE OF THE SEAT BELTS. WHEN SHE CAME TO SHE CALLED 911. THE FREEWAY WAS CLOSED DOWN. THE POLICE FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF US BEING HIT OR US HITTING ANYTHING. NO REPORT WAS ISSUED. THE AIRBAGS HAD TO BE CUT TO GET US OUT. WE WERE TRAPPED IN A CAR THAT WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS ON FIRE OR NOT. IF IT WAS WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN OUT! THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SHORT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO GO OFF. OR THE AIRBAGS JUST WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE WHITE LIGHT OR DEAFENING BANG WAS. I CAN ONLY CALL IT AN EXPLOSION.

While driving home from work I suddenly noticed green smoke billowing from under my passenger seat. I immediately pulled over rolled my windows down I removed my back pack from the seat that was smoldering on top of the seat . There was absolutely nothing combustible in my back pack I removed my back back from the vehicle. The extinguished itself some how. I began coughing and choking due to the toxic smoke. Once I felt that the fire in the passenger seat was no longer a threat to my life. I begrudgingly continued my drive home which was an additional 15 Miles home. I am a sheriff deputy for Los Angeles county I realized that getting off the highway was the safest place for my self and other vehicles around me. The 15 freeway is a very busy highway and is not safe to remain on the side of the road unless there was an immediate threat of danger or an accident that needed to be reported. I arrived home safely but extremely unnerved. I do not smoke I do not use vaping or any other such things. I took several pictures it's quite obvious the seat caught on fire from under or within the seat. There is absolutely zero aftermarket products added to my vehicle . All of my vehicle maintenance has been done at Toyota dealerships only. This incident was very scary to say the least. Fortunately I had no passengers had I had my teenage children wife or anyone else in the front passenger seat the potential of serious harm could have occurred. I am reporting this as Toyota claims no recalls for this vehicle. My vehicle warranty just recently expired. Toyota has many recalls on several different years for this type of thing occurring. With my personal experience, I highly recommend this incident be investigated, and a possible recall should be implemented for the safety of others. There appears in pictures that the wiring underneath the seat initiated the fire. Toyota needs to be responsible for this.

The batter has been bad since the beginning. Even the original battery would right away leak and leave a lot of residue. My car since the beginning has told me there is something wrong with the power system. But Toyota keeps insisting that it’s just a random message. And that they don’t know why it says it. It’s concerning because I constantly need to get a new battery. The other thing is that. When I unlock my car. Either the passenger side or the drivers side doesn’t lock or unlock. It’s mostly scary for me because there are times that I’m not in the safest area and I struggle to open it manually. I also have a few other friends that have the same car as I do and same year and they are also having the same problem. And the third thing is the ac system just decided to only work when it wants to. It seems like it’s a faulty system.

FULLY RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOES RESTORE POWER. WHILE THESE MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, CRUISE CONTROL ALSO DOES NOT FUNCTION. THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM OCTOBER 29, 2018, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY (NOW EVERY THREE DAYS ON AVERAGE) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I WILL BE HAVING A DEALER INVESTIGATE. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM DESCRIBED FOR THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR ON OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINT FORUMS.

I HAVE HAD MY TOYOTA CAMRY APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT THE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE PARTICULAR PROBLEMS AT DUSK AND DAWN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE HOWEVER THEY HAVE BEEN UNRESPONSIVE. I FIND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE GLARING AND DISTRACTING AND I HAVE TO TIP THE MIRROR DOWN SOMETIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE AS SAFE AS IT SHOULD BE IN MY OPINION. YOUR HELP TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN AND LOCK WITH THE REMOTE KEY AND THE BUTTONS ON THE DOOR. THE CONTACT HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARSON TOYOTA (1333 E 223RD ST, CARSON, CA 90745), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,406. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE, APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO AFFECT ON SLOWING THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 69-80 FEET (ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, MY LAWN AND MY NEIGHBOR'S LAWN) IT CRASHED INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S SHED. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO THE CAR , SOME BACK PAIN AND DESTRUCTION OF THE SHED.TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED BY PUTTING IT INTO FIRST NEUTRAL GEAR AND THEN PARK BEFORE ANY DAMAGE. THEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS PUT IN FIRST, NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK. ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPRODUCE THIS CONDITION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.

I BEEN EXPERIENCING UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY MAYBE ABOUT 3 TO 5 HOURS INTO DRIVING. THE CAR JERKS AND PICKS UP SPEED A FEW MILES PER HOUR. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. I HAVE MANY ATTEMPTS WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN DUPLICATED. THE CAR ALSO HAS A SLUGGISH TAKE OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DRAGGING AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE AND MORE PHOTOS. THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD ALSO GIVES INCORRECT SPEED RATINGS.

ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AT APPROX. 7:37 PM I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT IN MOTION. BEFORE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION I NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. I THEN CHECKED THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION AND BOTH LIGHTS REMAINED ON. AT APPROX. 7:45 PM I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH. AT ABOUT 7:47 PM ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE FROM 60 MPH TO SPEEDS OF APPROX. 40-45 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE IN SPEED SO THAT IS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT STILL THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TAKING NOTICE OF MY IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE SKID AND PARKING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, SO I USED MY LEFT FOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE POSITION AND IT REMAINED IN THE RELEASE POSITION (UP). NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I PANICKED AT THAT MOMENT AND I PRESSED DOWN ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A DITCH CAUSING PERSONAL MINOR HEAD INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY FRONT PASSENGER. THE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE FRONT AND REAR FENDER WERE PROVED OBVIOUS DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM WERE FILED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS LATER DRIVEN TO MY HOUSE AND REMAINS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL INVESTIGATED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
