In our 2009 toyota camry, there was a temporary dash replacement program. It was considered a warranty extension as opposed to a recall and it was a limited time where owners could take the vehicle back to the dealership and have it repaired during that limited time spa.i purchased the vehicle this past year and upon purchasing and spending a summer in san antonio with my 2009 toyota camry i experienced what the dash recall/toyota replacement policy was intended to repair. The dash turns to mush in the heat and it is very, almost malleable. From a safety standpoint, it creates a glare that makes it impossible to see from the drivers point of view and furthermore there's been reported problems with the airbags deploying because of the melting dash.i spoke with toyota about possibly helping me repair my dash and they said that even though it is a safety concern that they are no longer responsible for repairing the manufactures damages. I wanted to file a claim for reconsideration in hopes that theywould be liable for replacing anything that could potential he be a hazard or a danger to my family.
Melting dash: i placed this under "air bags" because there is legitimate concern for their operation under the defective dash. Also, the glare from the shininess of the dash is a concern. I purchased it new in may 2008. My daughter has been driving it. The problem came to my attention literally days after the 10-year "warranty extension". I talked to my dealer and directly to toyota and they would not resolve the defective dash. This is still a problem. It didn't go away after 10 years.

My 2007 toyota camry le was rear-ended at around 40-50 miles per hour and it was pushed into the car in front of me.so i was struck from the back and then the front.the other two cars' airbags deployed but mine did not.i notice there are front and side tests done on cars but never when one is rear-ended. I went to the emergency room with a headache and stiffness in my neck and was diagnosed with whiplash - head and back.everyone i've mentioned this to wondered why my airbags did not deploy.can you tell me if it should have?fortunately my seatbelt worked and restrained me and i did not bump my head on anything other than the headrest.just wondering if i should be concerned that my airbag did not deploy.oh, and my just-paid off camry was totaled -- over $12,000 in damages so i have to buy another car and wondering if i should consider another vehicle.i feel fortunate that i was able to walk away from the incident though there is no more "truck" so to speak left on my car.i'd like to get another camry but need to know if the lack of airbag deployment is important to consider when buying another car.also, i have been hearing that the floor mat recall on the toyotas from 2007 -2010 is not really a floor mat issue but an electrical one that toyota is not telling us about.what do you know about this?

Takata recalli never got notice that my 209 camry had a problem with the takata airbag. When checking you sight, the only place i can get it replaced is over 2 hours away from y home. I bought the vehicle new from sparks toyota in myrtle beach and should be able to get it repaired there!
Takata recall - the knee airbag deployed after a rear end low impact crash on 11/09/18.the bag deployed toward my ankle which was on the break with such force that it crushed my ankle, compound fracture with dislocation and destruction of ligaments and tendons of the ankle joint.the bone was turned at a 90 degree angle.this required being sent to the shock trauma unit at a trauma hospital in memphis, tn.i had extensive surgery on my ankle and an external fixator, which i will wear until around mid january.then a weight bearing cast and extensive physical therapy.the first deputy on site said it was obvious the airbag more than likely caused the damage to my ankle.there was no other damage to the interior of the car or floor board and no damage to the break or accelerator. I had no other injuries, other that a slight bump on the head from the other airbag.i did have my seatbelt on.i was told at the hospital that i was lucky i didn't lose my foot,this airbag seemed to project forcefully directly into my ankle/foot area and i immediately felt my ankle go numb and i couldn't move it.the bone protruded out of my skin and was turned 90 degrees other surrounding bone was fragmented.since there were bone fragments that were too small to repair, this will complicate complete recovery from my injury. I have photos, but i was unable to upload.
The light on the dashboard says drivers side air bag off
My wife was t-boned this week at a 4-way stop (flashing red light) at approximately 40mph while driving my 2009 camry hb with side curtain and seat-mounted side air bags.this vehicle has seven airbags including driver front air bag, front seat-mounted driver side air bag, and driver side curtain air bag. She was wearing her seatbelt.no bags deployed!it appears her head went through the driver's side window.she was in icu with concussion, bleeding on the brain and brain swelling.driver?s door was pushed in about 6 inches from the impact. I bought this car for the safety of the seven airbags.all maintenance on this low mileage vehicle was done at the local toyota dealer.
While driving in the rain at approximately 35 mph hydroplaned on an highway exit ramp that was a sharp loop/curve.the car hit head on the end of the guardrail which had a square plate.the entire front end and hood of the camry was smashed and the air bags never deployed.i was wearing my seat belt which somewhat restrained me but hit my head on the steering wheel and suffered a concussion.
Metal object in the left lane ,try to avoid it and hit a truck in the left side ,the car spin and my daughter was hurt and was taken to the nearest hospital with trauma in the head chest ,arms , neck and stomach.
The operation of the side seat airbags on the toyota camry are compromised due to the fact that the integrity of the seat cushion has a design flaw that causes the cushion to collapses around the airbag. Which would change the angle of the airbag and cause it not to deploy properly.
Front end was totaled, frame exposed, area surrounding airbag trigger obviously smashed and exposed, yet no airbag deployment! this vehicle rear-ended another vehicle (stationary) while drivingat approximately 40-45mph. My daughters head broke the windshield. An appropriate airbag deployment would have prevented this. I thought this was a safe car. Please investigate and save others.
I realized that my srs lights were staying on. After going through vehicle manual it pointed out that it was due to disabled air bag. I took it to toyota service center to have it diagnosed and they said it was due to faulty spiral cable assembly. It cost me about $550 to get it fixed. I later realized that there were many other toyota cars that were being recalled for the same reason, i am wondering why toyota camry was left out as it seems to have the same issue. I feel that this should be brought to an attention as the lit srs light could have gone unnoticed if i hadn't been cautious. I had to compare it to my previously taken dashboard picture to figure out if it was out of ordinary.

I was driving on i 90 westbound on 03/01/2014 around 10:48 pm .the weather conditions were difficult as it was snowing and the highway lanes were not clear except the 3rd lane which i was on and it seemed safer than the other two lanes. The weather was causing the vehicles to drive at speedswell below 50 mph as i was approaching the barringtonroad exit i signaled and waited for the traffic to clear a little so i can safely proceed to the second lane.as i started making the move towards the second lane but not fully changing lanes the car started skidding and i had tried to steer it so that it goes towards the left shoulder westbound .i applied the brakes very slowly so i do not hit the center wall and get out of the way of the other motorists and stop safely but as i approached the left shoulder the car hit the wall and turned around with the car positioned front to the upcoming traffic but still on the shoulder.as the car turned around the left front side of anincoming car hit the front of my car and pushed it up the center concrete wall. The car stoppedon the wall(yes on the wall standing in between both eastbound and westbound lanes). I called 911 immediately and they sent the illinoisstate police to investigate. The ambulance came but no one was injured seriously or taken to the hospital. Only the seatbelt and a good amount of luck made it that i am alive and write you this.my complaint is that even though the seatbelt worked effectively is that when the other vehicle hit me in front of the car the airbags did not deploy. For that reason i am fearful that there is a problem with the airbags and needs to be fully investigated.the car was not involved in any accident before and it was recently at a toyota dealership for a oil change and the vehicle had recently a multi point vehicle inspection.
2009 toyota camry.consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbag issues.the consumer stated within days after the vehicle was at the dealer for its annual xylontreatment, he noticed the passenger air bag read air bag off. Despite an adult sitting in the front passenger seat. It was not an issue prior to the xylon treatment for the seats.the dealer stated it was likely a short within the seat mechanism.

I purchased my 2009 toyota camry 2.4l while stationed in germany, it was manufactured to us specifications and i brought it stateside with me. I ran my vin in the toyota database to find out if the air bag or "sticky" dash board recalls applied to my vehicle. My vin did not register in the toyota database. I called toyota and they ran my vin, they explained that my vehicle was not visible in their database. The went on to explain, i would have to contact toyota in japan or germany for recall information and they would not be able to repair any recalls on my vehicle in the us. Does toyota not have an obligation to ensure my vehicle was manufactured properly and with quality materials to ensure its safe operation?
I had merged onto the highway, traveling at about 50 to 55 mph on a very narrow construction road. I was sharing this narrow road with a semi at this point. As i tried to give a little room between the semi and my vehicle, i sudden hit the edge of the road where there were gravels and immediately my vehicle started spinning out of control and all over the highway, in and out of a ditch and finally hit a tree and then came to a stop. Luckily, i did not sustain any injury but i am now dealing with major pain in my neck and back that is getting worse everyday. My complaint is during this whole process the airbag did not deploy. I was hoping, this with much impact, the airbags should have deployed.

Air bag light goes on , off
As noted by other safety recalls for toyota that did not include the 2009 camrysomething malfunctioned in my steering wheel and the airbag is no longer functioning as well as the buttons on the steering wheel or cruise controli believe this is the same issue other vehicles made by toyota have had safety recalls for and do not believe it to be an odd coincidence that i would then have that same issue.i am hoping that others report this so that the camry can be added to that recall.

Below you will find the email that i sent to toyota on february 7, 2010 as well as the response i received.to this date i have not received any other communication from toyota.i truly believe that one of these safety recalls led to my car accident in november, 2009.my vehicle was included in both the floor mat and accelerator recalls.discussion threadcustomer 02/07/2010 09:51 am i had a car accident 11-30-09 which resulted in the total loss of my 2009 camry le [xxx]. Due to the closed head injury i received, i am unable to recall the accident. However, viewing the accident report, it appears my vehicle was traveling much faster than i travel on this roadway. It was noted that my side airbag did not deploy when my vehicle struck a tree on the drivers side door. Due to the recalls, i am now concerned that one of the recall issues was the cause of my accident. My car is now at a salvage yard near atlanta, ga. And i feel that toyota should be concerned enough to check my car for defects. I bought this car based on your reputation for dependability and safety, and now due to the recalls, i can't imagine buying another toyota. Perhaps my greatest concern are media reports that toyota has been aware of these problems for quite some time and chose not to notify owners. I now have to wonder about this companies ethics.

Pull over at the next rest stop to look the car over and inotice the headlight cover had burned.on july 22, 2014, back in town, i took the car to toyota dealership and was informed that 51 previous bulb melted and discolored headlight housing.please note that the bulb was replaced at the dealership two months ago.i was also advised that no light is escaping from housing which may cause it to overheat over a period of time and estimate cost to replace housing - $499.75 (includes all labor and taxes).my concern is that this bulb meltedand cause a burn on the headlight cover, this is a defect and consumers should not be paying for a defective part that cost almost $500.00.this requires the complete housing to be replaced and not the cover nor does it repair the problem since this can happen again.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While at a stop sign, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. One day later while driving 2 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle jerked, and failed to stop. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. No injuries were sustained. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 09v388000 (vehicle speed control). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000.

A dashboard light came on in my toyota camry, indicating a problem with the airbags or seatbelts (the srs warning light). The service person at the toyota dealer told me the cause of the warning light was a spiral cable in the steering column. The repair cost me $499.94. A cable does not have moving parts like a brake assembly.in my opinion, a cable should not fail. I learned that toyota issued a recall of tacoma trucks because of the spiral cable.see the two sections below from a 3-8-12 news release.http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/customer+faqs+toyota+tacoma+steering+wheel+spiral+cable+assembly+recall.htm2. What is the condition?due to the combination of the steering wheel spiral cable design and characteristics unique to the tacoma chassis, friction between the spiral cable and the retainer in the steering wheel spiral cable assembly may occur in some vehicles. Friction over time may result in damage to certain circuits that provide connectivity to the drivers air bag module. If connectivity is lost, the air bag warning lamp will remain illuminated, and the drivers air bag may become deactivated, preventing deployment in the event of a crash.3. Are there any warnings that this condition has occurred?yes. The airbag warning light is designed to illuminate when the vehicle is started. It goes off after about 6 seconds, indicating the system is operating as designed. If the airbag warning light remains illuminated after this period, please contact your local toyota dealer for diagnosis and appropriate repair.i suspect the problem with the tacoma truck is also a problem with the camry. Owners should not be required to pay the cost of repairing a part that failed because of a design flaw. Furthermore, there is a safety issue because, in the event of a collision, the failure of the steering wheel airbag puts the driver in danger.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.while attempting to accelerate at 40 mphthe pedal became stuck. After pulling the floor mat from under the pedal, the vehiclebegan to decelerate. Prior to the failure when attempting to stop the vehicle would lurch forward. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealership. The current and failure mileages were 14500. Updated 12/18/09the consumer also stated when slowing down for a traffic signal, the vehicle often double shifts and lurches forward.

I am having issues with back passenger window on driver side. I have to press the button at least three times before it rolls up. Also my car consumes oil. The black,top of my dashboard is sticky and has cracks. I have been to my local toyota dealers and no one has addressed these issues. How do i get remedy before contacting legal council?
My 2009 toyota camry had a window switch failure.on the main switch assembly, the switch button that controls the passenger's windows partially melted due to an apparent short.this could potentially have resulted in a fire, hence this report.please add this complaint in your current investigation about this specific manufacturing defect and will appreciate any updates on this investigation.
2009 camry 4cyl. - when engine was started, with transmission in park, the engine revved to over 4500 rpm without any contact with the gas pedal.only way to slow the enginewas to turn off the ignition.after a few minutes, the engine was started with no issue.dealer reported "no problem found".owner believes it is a faulty computer or electrical system.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving at any speed, the speedometer, tachometer, rpm, and temperature gauges failed to provide accurate readings. The instrument panel lights failed to illuminate. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 165,465.
Not sure if this issue has been addressed, but i thought i would report my near miss. Yesterday i did transmission flush on my 2009 camry. After completing the trasmission service, i had my wife start the car, so i could check the fluid level (per owners manual); my 17 month old baby boy was also was in the car. I removed the transmission dipstick and cleaned it off. As i reinserted the dipstick there was an array of sparkes coming from the dipstick. I removed the dipstick and inspected what had occurred. It appears during the process the positive terminal on my battery gotslightly exposed and when i reinserted the dipstick it touched the positive terminal of my battery and was grounded by the dipstick tube. The dipstick sustained electrical damage to the areas where it contacted the battery and dipstick tube. Luckily nothing caught fire during this incident, for my family was in the vehicle and the car was parked in my garage. I'm just passing my experience along.thank you,
Passenger mirror stop responding after few seconds. When i use mirror switch to driver side again and back a can use ( up, down , right, left) for a few seconds and it stop again.
Parked car in driveway two hours later my neighbor told me my lights were on. Light switch was off could not get lights to go off.called tow truck they could not get lights to turn off, so they pulled the fuses for the lights.three hours later the horn started blowing,,had to disconnect to get it to stop. Took into toyota dealer where i bought it, a year ago. They said they thought it was a after market alarm system that was installed previously to my ownership. They disconnected it,three weeks later same thing started happening, except this time the high beam headlights would not turn off. Take it back to toyota and now they say it is an internal electrical problem thatmay cause other problems if not fixed. Around $825.
The air-tires symbol is on although toyota changeda tire($236.00) for me.
First to fail was the speedo after the abs and brake light came on. No actual brake problem but the lack of speedometer is unsafe. Abs unit essentially controls instrument cluster..not necessary or safe plus dealer repair part approx $1800.00.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 3 mph, the vehicle lost power without warning. The vehicle operated normally while in reverse. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ground to the main wiring harness malfunctioned and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,970. Updated 10/06/15*ljupdated 12/12/2017
While driving or when parked, all dashboard gauges (engine temp, speedometer, etc.) drop to 0. At the same time, the "brake" and the "abs" lights illuminate. The indicator for park/drive/reverse is no longer illuminated, and the outside temperature indicator flashes between "e" and the correct temperature. In addition, the a/c fails to cool, despite all lights/indicators on the console appearing normal (no flashing lights to indicate a malfunction.) all above issues will randomly occur - no obvious correlation to braking, acceleration, etc. At times, some of the gauges will normalize, while others remain at "0." in addition, some gauges will fluctuate sporadically, or "bounce" up/down - not indicating true engine temp or speed. The problems will all resolve at times, seemingly randomly, and then reoccur - just as randomly. I have found numerous videos on youtube which document this issue, and i have noted numerous complaints on this website describing the same problem. After several weeks (on 11/14/14), i took my car to the local dealership, describing the issues and suggesting the brake actuator had failed (as i had read from other owner complaints.) the local dealership stated that they had seen several other vehicles with similar issues, but was confused about the involvement of the a/c issue. (please note: i live in a city with a population of less than 250,000.) after several days of diagnostics, the local dealership contacted a toyota specialist in houston, tx, who confirmed that the brake actuator had failed. I paid $1932.23 for parts and labor (that's including a 10% discount) to have the issue repaired. My vehicle was with the dealership for 11 days before it was finally repaired. I am concerned that so many people seem to have had the same problem, and that a recall has not been issued for a condition affecting multiple safety features of the vehicle.
I have a 2009 toyota camry. On my way home from work around 10:00 pm on 1/25/10. My car shut off while i was driving. I was driving on a two lane road. While pressing on the accelerator and passing a semi truck. As i pulled back into my lane my car just shut off. The check engine and battery light came on. I pulled the car over to the side of the road.and would not start. When i would start the car and put into drive the car would turn off. Then i waited for about 20 minutes. And tired again and it worked just fine and the check engine light turned off. Next day i took it to the dealer and they advised my there might have been some debris in my gas. I always fill up super. I am filling this complaint because i found out today that they are investigating the electrical throttle control on some toyota's and thought this might be helpful. Thank you
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry hybrid. The contact stated the vehicle would not start and none of the electrical components in the vehicle operated. The contact assumed the vehicle battery was dead. However, the battery was not recharged because the contact was not familiar with the hybrid vehicle and thebattery could not recharged. Additionally, the vehicle radio and the digital console would only operate intermittently. The failure and current mileages were approximately 7,073.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator inadvertently illuminated and the horn inadvertently failed to function. In addition, when attempting to park and turning the steering wheel to the left, the vehicle veered to the right. Both rear tires made a loud noise, the engine shook violently without warning, and the water hose detached and caused water to leak out. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the shocks were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Abs and brake light are on most of the time, rarely abs and brake light goes off. When abs and brake light are on, rpm and odometer go to zero, ac becomes warmer, sometimes engine cooling indicator also blinks. However, when abs and brake light go off, everything works perfectly. I took the car to dealer, spent around $350 to diagnose, they told me that i have to replace the ecm which will cost $3000. Its really shocking
Abs light , brake light comeon dashboard, speedomater stops working, rpm jumps up and down,thermastatstops working, ac stops working,i was toldby a mechinic it's the abs module and can only be repaired/ replacedbythe dealer.

My car keeps having problems. Toyota has rebuilt the engine in january 2018. Since then, i've had a new alternator three times. The last time was march 2020. A new radiator 2019, new spark plugs march 2020, new fuel pump april 2020. The passenger side window and passenger rear window will not come down. This happened a couple weeks ago. Scheduled a service appointment for, july 29, 2020. Yesterday, july 24, 2020, my car started shaking and cut off. There were no lights on (engine, oil or battery). In the process, the battery light flashed. Roadside assistance was called for service. Tow truck driver gave me a hotshot at my request so, i could roll the driver side windows up. My car needed a hotshot to drive off of the tow truck to park. Today, july 25,2020, roadside assistances was called to have it towed to jerry's toyota belair rd., baltimore, md. I was advised that i need another alternator, again. This just makes no sense at all. This will be the third alternator in about two years. Further, i was advised that the mechanic 'thinks' that the master switch for the windows need to be replaced. For some reason, the alternator is not lasting in my car.
While driving, the speed, rpm and temperature needles dropped to zero, the brake and abs lights came on and the a/c compressor stopped working while the car was traveling @ 75 mph... The rest of the systems were working normally... After about 2-3 minutes, the above mentioned systems starting working properly again with no lingering effects on the car... But after about 5-10 minutes it happened again... And the problem started to happen in a cycle as frequently as 5 minutes but as long as 30 minutes... This will also happen while in park. The dealer replaced the pcm and still has a problem they have not been able to diagnose the problem after a week trying... Any ideas? it is driving us crazy!
Moved to tx in 2012 and have not had any previous starting issues before moving. Attempted to start the vehicle during my lunch break, engine turned over but was unable to start. Attempted to start the car again and the engine cranked and started with a hard "jolt" as if the gear shift was out of position. Several days later the temperature was warmer and the same problem occurred. Scheduled a appointment with my local toyota dealership and was told all systems were normal and they could not determine the cause of the problem since they could not replicate starting issue. The starting issue occurs on relatively hot days, turning the key to "on" before starting does not help the problem, the second start attempt is usually a "hard" start such that it feels as if the engine is jerking. Toyota should investigate electrical/fuel/and air components to determine the cause of this starting problem, especially since the issues seems to be temperature related.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, extra effort was needed to depress the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. The contact stated that the abs and vsc warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, after entering the vehicle, there was a continuous chime heard with several unknown warning lights remaining illuminated while the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.
My 2009 camry dashboard is melting. The leather console between seats has cracked.the electrical system keeps shorting out. All cigarette lighters/charger locations have shorted out including the aux. A week after buying my car the safety feature to lock place mat in place broke. Nearly causing a car wreck as the place mat lodged in between the gas and brake. The radio, location where speedometer, clock, and service lights locations are fogged up and getting worse daily. When i took my car to the dealership about the dashboard i was told,"it was my fault. Probably caused by a cleaning product."which i knew was entirely not true. Cigarette lighter covers have dry rot and broken, plastic/leather has dry rot under all 4 windows leaving scratch looking marks, dry rot paint by stick shift is peeling. Headlights fog up easily with water in them. I was in a car wreck a couple of years ago.when i was going about 10 mph and a vehicle ran the red light hitting the right side of vehicles front area. They were going at least 45 mph. No airbag deployed. Underneath front of car is a plastic piece that keeps falling down. Some days i am unable to take car out of park unless i turn the wheel,"hard". I have never received anything via mail about any recalls on my vehicle. I still live at the same address! took car to dealer again about front passenger window and driver side window not being able to roll down or up windows. I had to pay quite a bit of money to have fixed. Passenger window switch is broken and still isjust like drivers side was. Was told" it was most likely because someone tried to break into my car." which i knew was not the case. I am very disgusted and considering filing a lawsuit against toyota. I bought a lemon car! i keep my oil changes up to date, fluids, filters, etc.i have never felt so disappointed in a vehicle purchase in my life. I'd like a full refund.

I want to alert you and any other toyota owners of a bug in the dashboard that causes the dashboard lights to flash on and off. Flashes are so sudden most people may not even notice. Toyota supposedly corrected after i left the with them for repair. I was notified that it was corrected yet 4 1/2 months later i'm still noticing the same problem.
During normal operation of a 2009 toyota camry le with 2.4l 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic transmission on the highway traveling approximately 60 mph, the speedometer suddenly dropped to 0 and the abs and brake lights on the dash board illuminated. The car did not cease normal operation and the brakes appeared to still function and the car was drivable as normal. The speedometer needle did not move and the abs and brake lights stayed illuminated for several minutes with no noticeable change in braking ability. Then, the speedometer suddenly jumped back to 60 mph and appears to operate properly. At the same time, the abs and brake lights on the dashboard turned off. There were no noticeable changes in the operation of the car.that the same night, the exact same symptoms returned 2 more times just as they had occurred before with no warning at all. During one episode, the lights illuminated during a complete stop and the speedometer was inactive after leaving the stop. Again, after a few minutes, the speedometer returned to correct operation and the abs and brake lights on the dash board turned off.
I started to back out of the parking spot at the hotel i was staying to go out for dinner with my friends, i release the brakes and put the car in reverse. Then all of sudden the dash board lighted up then disappeared briefly when i put it in forward. As i was driving away from the hotel the lights on the dash board was lighted again. Then as i proceed to get on the freeway the dashboard lit up with warning check vsc system. (the hotel to the freeway ramp was a block away) i was driving in the right hand lane for several miles on the 580, because i noticed the brakes felt weird. The lights on the dash board remained lighted. The red indicator light for my brakes were on indicating the brakes were not released, but it was. At this point i was tensed and scared as i drove on the 580 freeway. I exited off the freeway slower than normal and i would press down on the brakes lightly and it would jerk and rock. It would bounce myself and friends in a rocking motion. We were all scared when i told them that i was not pressing on the brakes as it rocked. I was not playing with the brakes. My friend sitting in the front passenger side, confirmed to my friend sitting in the back i was not doing anything with the brakes as we rocked while driving or at the stop signs.i was driving cautiously on the streets due to i was afraid i might rear end someone. Every time i made the stop it would rock. So from the restaurant to the hotel i drove the streets and stayed off the freeway. The "check vsc "and indicators lights remained on the whole time. The following day, my husband drove out to get the car and drove it home for me. We took the back roads home to avoid freeway driving. As i drove behind him, i notice the brake lights stayed on most of the time.he too noticed the lights on the dash board remained on and the brakes were not working correctly.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving at 10 mph, smoke emitted into the vehicle and the contact noticed flames coming from the driver side power window switch. The contact was able to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was aware of nhtsa campaign number: 12v491000 (visibility), but the vin was not included. The failure mileage was 107,000.
Driving on cruise control at 70mph. Engine shut down and lost all electrical power. Then after about 4 seconds car powered up again on its on & reset cruise. This has happened twice now in a span of 2 months. Brought car to dealer and they said they could not duplicate problem. Checked all connections and codes.nothing showed on scans. I asked about the etc and they said that would not cause the problem i encountered? they said if it happens again and no codes show up or check engine light,there is nothing they can do?? these are the so called tech's words of wisdom.
The brake and abs lights went on, the speedometer and odometer stopped working.i had the brakes replaced.the problem continued.i had the car diagnosed and the electrical has failed.i need to change the interior computer.cost $2,100.
Abs and brake lights come on. Speedometer stops working and tachometer is erratic. Temperature gauge will drop to cold and a/c unit shuts off.this happens randomly throughout trips of various distance.
Engine stalled while driving 15mph and was towed to toyota and they could find nothing wrong with car.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be depressed with extreme pressure in order to stop the vehicle. In addition, the abs and brake light indicators intermittently illuminated. The contact further stated that the speedometer gauge decreased to zero, the thermostat lever went to cold, and the tachometer fluctuated to zero. The vehicle was taken to legacy toyota (3800 w tennessee st, tallahassee, fl 32304, (888) 610-8309) where it was diagnosed that the abs control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 110,000.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving at 60 mph, the vehicle lost power. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed coolant leaking from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle had previously been inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was towed to the contact's residence where the water pump was replaced by an independent mechanic. Afterwards, the vehicle failed to start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,500.
The brake and abs light are on, the speedometer and rpm meter goes to 0 when i was driving at 40 mph. It also happened when i was stopped in park.the a/c also don't work.the fault is intermittent.
Recall on switch overhead it may melt and possibly result in a fire.

The dashboard gauges suddenly drop dead. Abs and brake light on. A/c is getting affected. All the needles start dancing. Car starts shaking and getting warm. It comes and goes. Similar year cars have the same complaint. Apparently it has to do with the abs module short circuiting. This is a big life and safety concern and there should be a recal please. This happens anywhere and everywhere.
I have a 2009 camry. Since my gas gauge was continuously reading empty i took it to dealer. The dealer indicate the vehicle was in warranty until march 2012 but that because water droplet were found in the tank the 'sender' had burned out and was not sending the correct gas level to the dashes gauge and that it was not covered by the warranty. I understand thesender should have had some tolerance to some level of liquid humidity and should not have failed. This failure of sender should have been covered by the warranty.they indicated that many pumps had gone bad by water being deposited in tanks of their vehicles but they had no history of replacing senders. The pump works fine and the car runs great, but the gauge in the dash was the only problem.should it have been repaired under warranty?
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was a loud abnormal noise coming from all the speakers and the instrument panel failed. The vehicle was restarted and the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000. The vin was unavailable.
The dashboard abs and brake lights came on, speedometer dropped to zero, and the tachometer jumped while on the freeway.the first reaction when seeing the brake light on was to reach for the emergency brake release and on the vehicle the release is the step type.this release is the hood release and luckily the safety on the hood did not allow the hood to open.i've reported this to toyota when i got a recall for replacement of the dash if it cracked.they told me they hadn't heard this, and i told them to go to the internet as it was there and there were youtube videos showing this condition.
Power window master switch assembly has been re-called when i took to toyota they determined it only need to have grease applied even tho the unit is not working properly.
Engine operates with excessive oil usage. Consumes/loses 1 quart of oil in 700 miles as of this filing date. I went to toyota service center at 12/2011 at 82,700 miles and they said no problem - 1 quart usage per 1000 miles is normal. Also, door locks stopped working at 45,000 miles or so.
When i was drivingat night, i started to feel a lot of heat in my right hand, the heat came from the radio and the a/c controls stop working and the radio too, the radio turn blank but keep playing the a/c controls keep turning on and off by them selves. Since then my radio goes blank, on and offand the dealer wont do nothing about it, i have check with different camry's owners and i have found out that they havethe same problem.i also have problems with my brakes???? when i step on the brakes my steering wheel starts shaking like if the rotors were bad, i took the car to my mechanic only to find out that a idle arm is bad ,and he as well as other camry's owners tell me that there are a lot problems with those arms.my car is stock, i haven't done any modifications.the other problem that i have is that i took the car for new tires and i saw rust inside all my rims, i live in california so there no snow or i do not live to close to the beach, and i do not know what to do, i told the dealer and they say nothing they can do. My visors keep falling off and they come of their base.
Takata recalli never got notice that my 209 camry had a problem with the takata airbag. When checking you sight, the only place i can get it replaced is over 2 hours away from y home. I bought the vehicle new from sparks toyota in myrtle beach and should be able to get it repaired there!
Abs actuator is failing.happened right before it hit 75k miles.
Friday at 10 pm, me and my family were coming from visiting family.. I left around 10pm i started the car, drove like about half a mile, when i told my wife i smell something burningi opened the windows then i looked at my side door (driver) it was on fire, .. I pulled over to the side to get my family out ,....then i got a bottle of water that i had on the truck...andused to put out the fire on the driver side door...when i pulled over i hit one of the sign pole on the street ..right fender was damage.. I had my two babies,, 3, and 1 year old....

All of a sudden my car lost all electrical power. I could not open the door of the car using the remote and everything electrical in the car is dead. It does not start, no power windows, cd player, nothing works. I wasn't on the road when this happened but i cant imagine what would have happened if i were driving. This is the most dangerous i could have ever imagined myself in but luckily my car was parked.
Motor oil is burning excessively i have to check the oil every weekend andthe dealer says is normal, i think is not normal to keep adding oil when there is no leak. Dashboard is practically melting it was reported back in may because in the summer time it gets very sticky the dealer says it will take months or a year before they could fix it.radio has a malfunction it was replaced back in 2014 because the screen turn black and not able to turn it on or off. In 2016 the radio is having problems again for the same reason and the dealer won't replace it anymore because the warranty is finished.
Upon purchasing this car in/2013we immediately had trouble with the 12 vcigarette lighters. Plugging in the standard items like a cell phone or gps will only get us about 20 minutes at brst , before blowing the fuses.it doesn't matter which power point we use, it happens in each if them.the place we bought the car examinedthe situation three times and couldn't decipher the problem.a toyotadealership would charge over $100 just for a diagnostic check. Due to this problem we don't feel safe traveling far with the vehicle, being unable to charge cell hone, gps, or safety cameras.the car is otherwise very reliable, but for a battery which suddenly died on us one very cold night. We were surprised it didn't dive a warning that it might need replacing soon.as for the electrical problem, we were told we may be able to purchase an alternative external system to compensate for the cigarette lighters, from a place like best buy.
Problem description:2009 toyota camry, brake light and abs turn on, rpm and speedometer stop working intermittently, and a/c also seems to work intermittently.it is the same issue shown here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtgabjrfdsit is dangerous because you have intermittent use of your dashboard sensors.the dealership wants to replace the entire abs hydraulic system for the cost of $3000.this seems to be a well documented problem.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. Approximately one month ago the the contact stated that her radio display was not visible whenever she started the vehicle. Within a few weeks, the rear power windows began opening on their own. The contact was driving approximately 20 mph when the brakes were engaged; however, the vehicle would not stop which caused her to crash into a vehicle in front of her. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a body shop who advised the contact that there was also an electrical failure since the vehicle would start. The repair shop made several attempts to start the vehicle and was unsuccessful. The manufacturer advised her that the recall repair will start in april and that she would have to wait until then. The contact stated that the air bags did not deploy. The failure mileage was 19854.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the tachometer gauge was not displaying the correct reading levels, and the odometer dropped to zero.

Rear trunk release switch rubber is bad, soft, sticky and hard to open trunk with the bad rubber, only fix is to replace the switch a $70 switch for a $1 rubber? not a fix for a bad switch design. When temperature is hot the rubber is really so bad it runs and is sticky. I have also complained to toyota corp. Also, no fix...

On my way to work and another driver just rammed his struck against my car his tired ended up on top of my car it was a hard hit and i even thought i had my seat belt i my airbags did it go off at all the impact was so hard and i would like to know why didn't my airbags deployed my question is do i have any airbags that really concerned me and would like toyota to look at my car as soon as possible in my opinion my airbags should have went off i was hit by a bigger veichle and i would like toyota to takereposability since i had witness that saw the accident and testified that i was not at fault if there is no airbags in my car it's new to me because when i went to buy the car the only thing high was the mage and i was promise that if anything went wrong with the car toyota will be responsible for it. I think that toyota took advantage and was trying to get rid of the car so i got the wrong end of the deal. If i find out i never had any air bag si should no be reponsie le to pay a die out of my pocket.
Vsc warning appeared on dashboard. Abs warning light and ps light is on too. I had the abs actuator replaced in february 2019 when the vsc warning first appeared. I am having the same issue plus the power steering warning light. Vehicle was parked at the store, when i returned to my car and turned car on, the lights started flashing and will not turn off.
On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 rpm) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when a/c is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance.may be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but i am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?
Toyota camry abs actuator/ecm failure.i have a 2009 camry that has been well maintained and had no known issues until last wed 2/7/18 when driving home from work all of sudden both the speedometer and tachometer went haywire and started jumping up and down from 0 to the max, then both the brake light and the abs lights came on and the temp gauge dropped to zero. I thought that the car was about to shut off but that didn't happen. My car was still driving, but none of the gauges registered that the car was in motion and the brake and abs lights remained on. Today is exactly a week from that initial warning and i am still having the same issue once the car has been in drive mode for more than 20 mins.i took the car to my local toyota dealer who has maintained the car since my purchase for diagnosis on 2/8/18 and was told at the time that the issue is the bad abs actuator and ecm and that both pieces are a part of the car's computer that sends the signal for the brakes to stop. I was also told at that time that there was a similar issue with the hybrid camry for the same year, and extended warranty was placed for the hybrid but not for my camry le. I was shocked because this is a road hazard and a issue with faulty parts installed in the first place. Now toyota is saying the repair is $2500. This should be included along with the hybrid under an extended warranty. I have found on internet searches that toyota has been aware of the issue since at 2010 but they have refused to offer repairs. This is definitely a safety hazard whereas the driver is never certain that the brakes will work or fail.i say that maybe this car should be under a full recall because i was also told that my engine is burning excessive oil, they tested it mid year 2017 and i was just told that my car failed the test and needs to have the repair done on that as well as the abs actuator.
The brake and abs lights came on. The speedometer and odometer fell to zero. Sometimes the odometer would jump up and down for a few seconds. The temperature gauge drops to zero. The engine sounds like it's about to turn off but does not. A/c does not give off cold air. Gear light indicator goes off or indicates drive gear no matter on what gear.
While driving, my brakes have gone out (as in i have no brakes) several times intermittently. At the same time my (abs, check vsc system) light illuminate and my brake light is always illuminated. I very carefully drove it home and was forced to purchase another vehicle until i can figure out what to fix.
The car seems to run fine but with some dash board lights went to toyota dealership. They said i have to replace abs actuator assy.. I saw extended warranty for that but no safety recalls. If issues are expected with parts, should not there be safety recalls instead of extending warranties only. Why is toyota saying there might beparts that might not function properly but will be fixed only the parts fall by certain time. I am worried to drive with dash board lights of brakes, abs and check back system light on. To fix it, i will have to spend $1600 for the part that should have the part of safety recall.
I turned on my toyota camry 2009 hybrid in the garage and was immediately met by numerous warning lights, an audible warning buzzer, and a message in the dash message center that read "check vsc."i was going to drive the car to a mechanic but discovered that when i backed out of the garage that there was no braking action.they had completely failed.the car was placed on a computer which provided error code c1256 and c1391.both codes indicate abs/vsc/trac malfunctions.i brought the vehicle to my local toyota dealer and supplied a computer print out of the error codes.the problem was diagnosed as an internal leak in the abs accumulator module resulting in a loss of hydraulic pressure to the brakes.cost of replacement with labor was quoted as $3,700.00.i did some research and discovered numerous complaints by other toyota owners with identical problem i encountered. I also discovered that toyota has redesigned the abs annunciator module.i contacted toyota corporate headquarters in california who denied any a problem with the part.if they are unaware of the problem, why did they redesign the part?this problem is extremely dangerous as in resulted in total brake failure.i was extremely lucky that my issue manifested itself while the car was parked and not at 70 mph on an interstate highway in heavy traffic.one website set up by someone who experienced this identical problem had thirty five entries in the guest book.everyone had the same problem.
Odo meter malfunction, abs light,brake light on. Ac not working
Maintenance light was on, car was pulling to the right while driving even after dealership checked it out, tires were worn out, also car made noises on front right passenge side at high speeds and some time shaked from right front passenger side.
I have a toyota camry (2009 around 84k miles on it) and yesterday i noticed, the abs light and brake lights came on and then the speed odometer stop working and did some research and noticed this is a common issue with this car. Found similar complaints on many sites ,there is a recall only for toyota camry hybrid models(https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/07/why-toyota-should-recall-the-camry-hybrid/index.htm) not for other models and this repair cost would go upto 2700 $ which is 10% of the car cost . Till now people used to think toyota is a reliable car but certainly this is not with these types of approach.
My 2009 camry dashboard is melting. The leather console between seats has cracked.the electrical system keeps shorting out. All cigarette lighters/charger locations have shorted out including the aux. A week after buying my car the safety feature to lock place mat in place broke. Nearly causing a car wreck as the place mat lodged in between the gas and brake. The radio, location where speedometer, clock, and service lights locations are fogged up and getting worse daily. When i took my car to the dealership about the dashboard i was told,"it was my fault. Probably caused by a cleaning product."which i knew was entirely not true. Cigarette lighter covers have dry rot and broken, plastic/leather has dry rot under all 4 windows leaving scratch looking marks, dry rot paint by stick shift is peeling. Headlights fog up easily with water in them. I was in a car wreck a couple of years ago.when i was going about 10 mph and a vehicle ran the red light hitting the right side of vehicles front area. They were going at least 45 mph. No airbag deployed. Underneath front of car is a plastic piece that keeps falling down. Some days i am unable to take car out of park unless i turn the wheel,"hard". I have never received anything via mail about any recalls on my vehicle. I still live at the same address! took car to dealer again about front passenger window and driver side window not being able to roll down or up windows. I had to pay quite a bit of money to have fixed. Passenger window switch is broken and still isjust like drivers side was. Was told" it was most likely because someone tried to break into my car." which i knew was not the case. I am very disgusted and considering filing a lawsuit against toyota. I bought a lemon car! i keep my oil changes up to date, fluids, filters, etc.i have never felt so disappointed in a vehicle purchase in my life. I'd like a full refund.
Excessive oil consumption. Burns 1 quart within 1,500 of millage use. My current car millage is approximately 88,000 miles. This problem is shown through large puffs of black smoke from the exhaust, upon ignition.this is obviously not a "normal" situation.this issue may lead to a higher amount oil purchases and serious engine damage; it is very costly.
Highly excessive oil consumption that has progressively gotten worse over time now up to 2 quarts in 1,200 miles! toyota denies there is anything wrong which they must know is a lie!!!
Excessive engine oil consumption.only 1 liter of engine oil came out during my last engine oil change at 65,000 miles even after i put in a liter at 64,500 miles because the red low engine oil pressure light came on and i checked the dipstick to see that almost no engine oil was in my car. I'm currently at 67,000 miles and the red light came on again, so i added one more liter of engine oil after checking the dipstick and practically nothing registered. I need to get it fixed, but the toyota dealer says nothing is wrong with my car/vin, so i can't get the necessary parts even if they have them in stock. I called the 1-888-270-9371 toyota customer assistance center and the representative said there's nothing she could do. Would like to fix the problem before my engine blows up.
Water pump fail on 79800.start make crank noise and then antifreeze star spill all over.
My son, driving to back to shool, was left in the road with our 2009 camry 5 seconds after the oil light came on. (excessive oil consumption issue known by toyota - august 11, 2011, toyota issued a technical service bulletin tsb to dealers) we were not aware of this problem or we would have advised him to check the oil every gas fill up to prevent problems. The car is a complete loss, but what concerns me most is that he was on a country highway with miles of open space between towns. Luckily he was just entering bedford va and made it to the entrance of a shopping center before the car died. Since he was blocking the shopping center entrance 'some random guy' helped him push the car into a parking area. Had this happened between towns and his car been stuck on the highway this could have been extremely dangerous. Both the shop we towed the car to and the company that last changed the oil investigated why the oil ran dry after only 1500 miles. Their conclusions matched in that there were no signs of faulty maintanance from the oil change nor any signs of obvious leaks. To leave people in dangerous situations because a company does not want to accept responsibility for faulty or defective equipment nor do they want to notify owners that this could be a serious issue is beyond contempt. This is pure negligence on toyota's part not informing the car owners of this serious problem. In the meantime we need to determine what to do with a 'dead' car.
The car is using excessive amounts of oil.4-6 quarts between 3000 mile oil changes!the problem has gotten increasingly worse since noticing an increase in consumption starting around 2016.only after searching the internet for a fix was i made aware that this problem is well known by toyota.i never received any bulletins or recalls from toyota as they have claimed.i hope they will provide some type of help in repairing this issue as it is very costly to maintain, much less repair.very disappointing from a seemingly reliable manufacturer that claims to build dependable vehicles.

Excessive oil use..
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact was driving approximately 35 mph when a loud noise emitted from the engine area. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road. The contact inspected under the hood and noticed that the engine dip stick reading indicated a zero oil level. One quart of oil was dispensed into the engine however, there was an excessive oil leak which required oil to be dispensed in the reservoir every 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. Updated 1/23/13 the consumer stated after further researching the failure, it was found to be an enviornmental issue. A complaint has been filed with the epa and carb. The consumer has requested for the original request for an investigation to be disreagrded. Updated 02/11/2013
Motor oil is burning excessively i have to check the oil every weekend andthe dealer says is normal, i think is not normal to keep adding oil when there is no leak. Dashboard is practically melting it was reported back in may because in the summer time it gets very sticky the dealer says it will take months or a year before they could fix it.radio has a malfunction it was replaced back in 2014 because the screen turn black and not able to turn it on or off. In 2016 the radio is having problems again for the same reason and the dealer won't replace it anymore because the warranty is finished.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle turned off unexpectedly. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact also noticed that the vehicle burned oil rapidly. The vehicle was taken to maplewood toyota (2873 maplewood dr, maplewood, mn 55109 (651) 482-1322) prior to the failure and was informed that the vehicle failed an oil consumption test. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed the gasket and pistons replaced. The vehicle could not be repaired free of charge under toyota's warranty enhancement due to the vehicle having a salvage title. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted after the failure and stated that there was a warranty enhancement for oil consumption, but the failure was not a safety recall. Since the vehicle was a salvage title, toyota stated that it was not eligible for warranty enhancements. The failure mileage was 230,000.
In 2015 i received several recall notices from toyota, inc. The first of several were the sun visors defect. Although mechanicsville toyota fixed it when they fixed the engine consumption problem in 2015, it currently has the same problem as the visor on the driver's side doesn't stay up/defective. The second, the dashboard area will crack due to sun exposure which it has tiny cracks. However, the major was recall on, engine oil consumption. Mechanicsville toyota, 6546 mechanicsville tpke. Mechanicsville, va fixed the problem, however, the problem has returned. This defect will cause the engine to lock if oil consumption isn't checked and added regularly.
My car has excessive oil consumption. I had to put a quart of oil in after driving 150 miles! also one of the seat belts in the back does not have any give, its tight, snaps back too quickly.
Traveling on cruise control at 60 mph on freeway - heard rattle and metallic sounds so i pulled off to side.when my mechanic opened up the oil pan there was no oil and lots of small metal shards - blown engine.as it happens i had scheduled the routine maintenance (every 5000 mi.) so all i saw on the dash display was the usual scheduled maintenance message - no low oil notifications or, anything out of the ordinary.
I have a 2009 toyota camry se with 53,000 miles on it. There was a noise coming from the engine during driving . Upon inspection i found out that there was nocoolant in the reservoir.i also found that there was pink powder residue on the engine near the serpentine beltwhere the water pump is located . Did some research on the internet and found out many other people with the cars built from 2007-2009 camrys had the same issue under warranty. Some cars had 10,000 miles or less with the problem. Also found out toyota replaced the water pumps on these camrys with awaterpump built from a different company. I filled the reservoir with coolant and took it to toyota and they said indeed the water pump was leaking. They would not cover the costs under warranty since it had expired.there would be no coolant leakingunder the car.during many of the oil changes the toyota technicians would add coolant and top it off and never mentioned anything about the water pump leaking . I only found out because i saw the coolant reservoir was empty and started looking for a leak. I believe toyota knew these water pumps were defective , and only changed it for people who complained about the problems under warranty with a differentmanufacturer of the water pump free of charge . Engines without coolant can get hot and catch fire. Please look into this issue of defective water pumps.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 20 mph, the oil indicator illuminated and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine was blown and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Moved to tx in 2012 and have not had any previous starting issues before moving. Attempted to start the vehicle during my lunch break, engine turned over but was unable to start. Attempted to start the car again and the engine cranked and started with a hard "jolt" as if the gear shift was out of position. Several days later the temperature was warmer and the same problem occurred. Scheduled a appointment with my local toyota dealership and was told all systems were normal and they could not determine the cause of the problem since they could not replicate starting issue. The starting issue occurs on relatively hot days, turning the key to "on" before starting does not help the problem, the second start attempt is usually a "hard" start such that it feels as if the engine is jerking. Toyota should investigate electrical/fuel/and air components to determine the cause of this starting problem, especially since the issues seems to be temperature related.
Excessive oil consumption
2009 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to concerns with oil consumption. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle was tested for oil consumption, but no issue was found. The engine failure persisted. The engine began leaking oil and coolant.
Original owner of 2009 camry with 84k miles burned through so much oil between oil changes that the engine was over 3 qts low, restored oil level did not eliminate noises assessed to be rod slap due to excessive wear.i now expect the engine to die at any time with thrown rod.
Engine overheating after a few blocks drive oil burning too fast went to the dealer before my warranty expired butno help they waited to find the problem until my warranty was expired now they don't want to fix it unless i pay $5,000 out of my pocket with 2,000 reimbursement i see no reason for this if i went in before my warranty was out. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me fix this problem.
Excessive oil consumption
This model of car has a manufacturer's defect in the pistons that is well documented in various resources, causing the engine to rapidly burn oil. See the following link for discussion: http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/camry/2009/engine/excessive_oil_consumption.shtmlthe car is now burning up to a quart of oil per 1000 miles and toyota is claiming this is normal.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 55 mph on the highway, the vehicle accelerated on its own at a high rate of speed. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The gear was shifted into neutral as the rpms increased. The gear was shifted into park and the vehicle was turned off, but was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was engine failure due to nhtsa campaign numbers: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control) and 09v388000 (vehicle speed control). The previous owner did not have the recall repairs performed on the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to toyota world of newton (66 hampton house rd, newton, nj 07860, (973) 383-0200) and both recall repairs were performed. The vehicle was still at the dealer until the manufacturer determined if they would authorize the engine assembly replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and was to respond to the dealer and the owner. The approximate failure mileage was 158,000.
Consuming excessive oil in two-three months period.i got low oil pressure light on and off when i hit the break hard, then engine check light was on and off.i went to nearest auto store and checked engine oil.it was completely empty, i mean dry.i just couldn't believe it since toyota dealer checked oil consumption test and my car passed the test a few month ago.i was told the auto shop worker that i was lucky because it was so close to burn up the engine.i checked online and many people has the same issue on 2009 camry.toyota is aware of the issue as well.it should be a recall and it should be fixed by toyota.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the service oil warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician advised the contact to bring the vehicle back at intervals of 1,200 miles and another time at 1,500 miles to check the oil levels for the manufacturer standards. The technician informed the contact that the piston ring possibly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.
The engine and transmission there mess to!
Failed oil consumption test x 2.dealer stated i pay for any damage to engine, only piston rings covered.dealer stated i pay if they damage engine during repair/recall.
Excessive oil consumption problem as identified by toyota. I am original owner and was never notified of this issue. I am now over mileage limit by 10k miles. Toyota is only offering me $500 toward a $3000 - 4000 repair.
I was driving the car to work and the abs light and red brake light came on in the dashboard.also, the rpm gauge was going up and down.i stopped and turned off the car.when i turned the car back on, the lights came back.i took it into just a jiffy lube because it was the closest car place near me.they checked the brake lights, brake fluid, car battery, and checked for functional issues.there were none.i took it to a toyota dealership and they did a diagnostic that came back with code u0029 for communication loss at skid control (ecu) - engine control unit needs to be replaced.they also checked out all operational functions of the car and did not find any other issues.they gave a $2k estimate to repair the ecu.the car is still driveable and the lights still come on intermittently.sometimes when the abs and brake lightcome on though, the air conditioning stops working and then the spedometer sticks at 0.if i stop the car and turn it back on, it sometimes clears up.the vehicle is only 6 years old.i had my last toyota for 14 years and drove it for 239k miles.i am concerned about the safety of a usually reliable vehicle and think it must be a defect.
The "low oil pressure" light flickered briefly a few days ago, then again the evening of 1/10/2016. I had my cousin check the oil level morning of 1/11/2016. He said it was extremely low. I went to the service place that changes my oil. He had to add 3 quarts of oil and said i needed to keep a close check on it. I am very diligent in my oil changes and maintaining my car. This has never happened before.
09 toyota camry is burning oil. At startup smoke comes out of exhaust. I have to add about a quarter of oil once a month. I've noticed this is a known problem 07-10 model camry. I need to get this problem resolved. Please advise me of solution
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that that the vehicle burned a massive amount of oil. The vehicle was burning two quarts of oil between oil changes or every three thousand miles. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis but no cause for the failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 92,000.
The car has burned oil from day one. The transmission will not downshift enough to hold motor back properly going down an incline. It won't hold back by transmission even if you down shift your self.
Excess engine oil consumption.engine oil keep disappearing.have to add more oil every week or two (that's less than a 500 miles to burn a quart or 2 engine oil!) to bring it back within the acceptable level.there is no visible leaks, no blue smoke indication.it is dangerous if engine suddenly fail when driving.this seems a common manufacturing defect from toyota (t-sb-0094-11: 2az-fe engine oil consumption).
The engine of my car has been burning through oil so fast. The engine check light is on so i took it to the auto shop to get it checked out and the employee there told me to contact toyota since there was a recall on the 2009 camry engine. I called toyota place in garden grove and the person i spoke to said that they are unable to help me since recall has been expired and to call headquarters. However, i informed her that i never got a notice from toyota about this recall. I also informed her that i took my camry 2009 into the dealership in january 2018 to get the dashboard replaced from another recall but no one informed me about the engine recall during that time either. Toyota had failed to notify me twice. Toyota failed to send me a notice about the engine recall and they again failed to notify me when i brought in my car to get the dashboard fixed. So i contacted headquarters and the person on the other line told me the same thing that they can't help me since the time to bring in my car had expired and that i would have to pay for the fix out of pocket. I wish they would do a thorough job of reaching out to their consumers regarding the safety of their cars.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.the contact stated that while attempting to stop, the vehicle made a loud bang sound and stalled.the contact mentioned that multiple warning lamps illuminated on the instrument panel.the vehicle was merged to the side of the road but failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.
Was driving normally a month or so ago and noticed brake light and engine light come on during medium-to-hard braking. Went to firestone to check brakes out and was told engine oil was extremely low and they poured 3 qts in. Was told to get it checked by someone knowledgeable in engines. Got it checked out and was told the 2007-2010 model year camry had that problem. Was told by someone i know (also owns 2009 or 2010 camry) that he had the car fixed during a recall.checked my vin and there is no recall currently. I bought the car used in 2013 with about 30k miles and am currently above 70k with this problem. Searched the internet and found that it is not uncommon.
Engine pistonoil control rings improperly retrieving oil in use. The pistons aren't properly treating the oil so i have to refill new oil multiple times a month. It falls under the model and year that toyota was doing recalls for the model in question. I wonder if this issue can still be fixed! the pistons need to be replaced! the engine works really well other than burning oil like a frying pan. (oil & engine temperatures remain normal (tested) but the oil continues to disappear. No leaks.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the vehicle consumed an inordinate amount of oil. The contact stated that oil was deposited into the vehicle on numerous occasions in a short period of time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.
My dash is melting. I've never received a recall. It's chipping off and i was told the recall expired. How am i supposed to get it fixed if never a recall. Also my engine has been leaking oil and i've had it serviced properly and in a timely fashion the entire time i've had it. It's the seals that keep leaking. Ive never received any recall information on my toyota. Ever. So i'm not very satisfied with the notification process. Im attaching pictures of my dash.
On 06-21-2016, we took our 2009 toyota camry se to wondries toyota in alhambra ca for the oil consumption test under the enhancement warranty (ze7).we were told by the service advisor to drive the vehicle (which had 61088 miles) for approximately 1100-1300 miles then bring it back in for the re-inspection.on 08-29-2016, we brought our camry back into the dealership with 62330 miles on it. We were told by the service advisor that our vehicle did not fail the test.the vehicle had only used up "a 1/4 of a quart of oil" and in order to fail the test it would've needed to burn "a quart of oil" in the given amount of miles. I ask the service advisor if it was normal for the vehicle to have blueish color smoke come out of the tailpipe every morning. He stated no.the service advisor stated "you would need to check my oil every 1200 miles to add oil". I asked him it was normal for me to have to check and add oil to this vehicle. He stated no. I stated if i follow the toyota oil change guideline (changing oil every 5000-7000 miles) then my vehicle would have lost 1-11/2 quart of oil prior to the oil change. He stated yes.i explained to him that it was a safety concern for my wife that drives the vehicle and now she runs the rest of the motor stopping on her because of excessive oil usage and the dealership would not fix the problem. He stated there was nothing he can do so i need to contact toyota motor corporation.
Smell burning of oil inside car. I was driving on city street. I checked oil dipstick and no trace of oil, meaning oil extremely low.i have driven car about 2800 miles since last oil change. The recommendation is to change oil every 5000 miles per toyota owner manual. My odometer reading is 76488 miles.toyota dealer check car last year for excessive oil consumption and said consumption is normal.i have been monitoring oil consumption myself . I found that midway between oil change( i.e. 2500 miles) , i have to add 2quarts of oil to bring level to normal.
I noticed recently that i was having to add oil between 3k oil change. Since then i habe discovered online the tsb 0094-11. I ran a ck on the odometer after adding oil and yes it is right at 1200 miles. That would mean 2qts of oil added between 3000 mi. Oil change.
Bought 09 camry new. In 2015, @ 130,000 miles, the "low oil" warning light came on. Took it to the dealer to do the oil consumption test, (they overfilled the engine with oil). When came back in 1200 miles was told the car is burning oil but not enough for toyota to cover the repair (since they overfilled the engine with oil) the car continued to consume more oil. Now at 170,000 miles, the car burns around 2 qrts of oil every 1000. Very disappointing.
My toyota camry is burning up oil.
Took my vehicle to the dealership for a simple oil/filter change on july 7, 2016. I was told the water pump had leak and requiring the pump to be replaced. I was quoted to pay about $530 to get a new water pump replacement. I did look up the similar problem related to 2009 camry. My vehicle has just over 50,000 miles mostly highway driven mileage. There have been more cases reported and supposedly to be a recall issued for new york state residents with similar complaints/problems. I don't know whether the local marietta dealership in georgia ripping me off or not. I did not ask for the old water pump to be returned to me after the work was done. I did not see the leak at all in my garage. I would appreciate it very much if there was unannounced recall from toyota, i would be eligible for my water pump replacement bill.
This 2009 toyota camry, le model comsume too much oil every 2000 miles,the oil light turn after 2000 miles, this start happend in 2018,my mechanic told me it's a manufacture problem from toyota camry 2007 to 2009,
I purchased my 2009 camry le brand new in july of 2008 from toyota.during a recent routine service appointment for an oil change, one of the mechanics noted in the system that my car was excess oil in june of 2013.toyota suggested an oil consumption test.in may of 2014 the car was brought back to toyota with approx. 85,000 miles.toyota determined that there was a problem with my oil consumption, and the car was in fact burning more oil than it should have been.they asked my permission to remove the engine cylinder head, due to their belief that they oil was leaking inside of the engine.after their removal of the engine head, it was determined that oil had leaked inside of the pistons due to failure of the piston rings.the service adviser and service director told me that this is a "known problem".the engine short block would need to be replaced. In turn, i asked them whether this is a common issue and they physically pointed to six toyota camry''s who were all getting engine replacements (short block only) due to the same ring failures.when i probed whether this was a recall, they said toyota has not recalled this but has issued several technical memos' about the issue.after reading numerous complaints online about engine failure in fairly low mileage vehicles for the same reasons i was compelled to notify your agency.it is very apparent that toyota has a known problem with their engines at least in the 2009 toyota camry.unfortunately, many consumers have lost money, vehicles even to this problem without toyota owning up to what their service managers and mechanics described to me as a 'design flaws in their engine.i was told they redesigned the engine short block to fix this problem which they are now putting into their new cars.
Timing chain broke without a y warning, caused major engine damagevehicle will be towed for scrap. Toyota was unable to fix it without complete engine rebuild or replacement.
Burning oil too fast
At intermittent times, most noticeably while braking or turning or both, warning light and sound activates. Checked just recently, no oil on dipstick. Suspect excessive oil consumption manufacturer defect on my year and model which is not being addressed by toyota.
Every time i took my car to get an oil change (every 3000 miles sometimes even a little earlier), i am told my oil is low or dirty or both. This last time i took it i was told i was low two quarts of oil and i didn't even hit 3,000 miles yet. I was told next time if it was low i might have to do a complete engine flush. I decided to get a few more opinions before going forward with any work. I was told by a man at a toyota dealership in torrance, that it sounded similar to an issue another person he knows had which ended up being a recall for that persons car. I was advised to call the dealership i got my car from and check with them for a recall. I called and received news that there was a "warranty enhancement" for excessive oil consumption. I took it in to get the first step of the test done which consisted of making sure there wasn't an oil leak and since there wasn't they topped off my oil then applied markers to my dip stick and other places so they can measure how much my oil went down after only 1200 miles. When i returned after the 1200 miles they checked the levels again and saw obviously my engine burned a significant amount of oil since they last checked it. They added a quart of oil back into my car when i returned and since it was little above full after they added the quart, they said my car passed the test and that although my car burned oil it wasn't enough for them to do any work to my car. Basically telling me that its $5,000 to fix and that it was normal in toyotas to consume excessive amounts of oil. I bought my car certified used from the cerritos auto square autonation lot. I couldn't believe that they turned me away without even suggesting other ways for me to get better oil consumption or any other help for that matter. I was told i can do the test one more time and they told me to go to a different dealership which i also found strange.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 55 mph, the odor of burning oil was present before the vehicle suddenly shut off. The contact noticed that the oil dip stick was low. Once oil was added, the vehicle operated normally. The contact indicated that the oil was last changed on august 13, 2018. The manufacturer and local dealer sunrise toyota (3984 sunrise hwy, oakdale, ny) were both notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 96,000.
Had oil changed on 6/8/12mechanic informed there was not much oil in the engine -mlg 93235.went to toyota-08/08/12-mlg 95739. We had added oil-1.5 qts on 08/04/12. They inspected oil level. Oil level at proper level-told to come back in 1000 mls and not to add oil. Came back on 8/30/12-oil level-found engine 2 qts low after driving 1040 mls.we were told to call customer service complaints and talked to monique. She requested some oil change receipts. We were able to submit 12 receipts with documented mileage. We also submitted an oil consumption report from toyota that included the 2009 camry and other models and years. The introduction of the toyota technical service bulletin dated 08/11/11 states "some 2006-2011 model year vehicles equipped with the 2az-fe engine may exhibit engine oil consumption. The piston assembly has been changed to minimize oil consumption..." on page 6 of this bulletin, point 6 states, "determine the quantity of oil that was consumed in 1200 miles.was the oil level more than 1 qt low after 1200 miles of normal driving?yes-go to repair procedureno-this tsb does not apply. Warranty guideline for acceptable oil consumption is 1 qt per 1200 miles of operation. No warranty claim should be filed." monique contacted us back and asked us to perform oil consumption test one more time. At that time, the toyota mechanics found engine oil 2.5 qts low after 1,503 miles."remove spark plugs and inspected cylinders with boroscope -found vertical scoring on cylinder walls due to improper piston and ring fit." monique contacted us after this finding and offered that toyota would pay $3000.00 to fix this and the total cost isa min. Of $5,500. We have to pay $2,500.min. To rectify the issue. This car was purchased new not knowing there was a piston/ring fit problem. Theproblem appeared after warranty expired. This was their problem from the start.
Catastrophic engine failure at high-speed on the highway. On june 22, 2017 at ~ 9:05 am i was traveling south on ma rte 128 in left passing lane just beyond the manchester exits. I was in the left-hand lane in a cluster of cars traveling at 65-70 mph. I was traveling ~ 70 mph passing the vehicles on the right. There were cars behind me in the left-hand lane, the closest approximately 40-50 ft behind me. Suddenly i heard a explosion under my car. Immediately clouds of a smoke-like vapor poured forth from the back of my car, followed by a loss of power and a racket from under the car. I immediately threw on my hazard lights and somehow made it to the side of rt. 128 without a collision. Luckily no one got hurt.from all that i understand about the failure, it sounds like there was no oil in my transmission, yet i had it serviced, including an oil change, at ira toyota in danvers ma ~ 6 months ago. I had no indication of low oil prior to the incident.
Me and my wife brought the car off inland wires brother his mom got it brand newwe got it with only about 40000.00 miles now we just turned 90000.00 miles the motor making bad noise toyota knew this problem when car was manufactured, but they still sold it with bad motor.the motor had under 50000.00 miles when it started knocking losing oil,anti-freeze toyota knew this bad motor from factory.
Upon researching the smoke coming out of the exhaust of my 2009 camry le, i found lots of online forums with owners of the camry that have been having the same issue. There are discussions of lawsuits because toyota isn't taking any responsibility. I called toyotas corporate office and they said they never heard of the issue, however just by a simple google search i found hundreds of complaints highlighting the same issue with the same car and all experience the issue post 60k miles, which is outside the warranty. I also went to a local dealership and they seemed very familiar with the issue but [xxx] from north hollywood toyota stated that toyota?s corporate office would have to pay for them to diagnose the issue. This is a health hazard, as each time i power on the car after an hr of the car being under the hot or cold weather and a big cloud of smoke comes out of my exhaust vent. Toyota refused to help me address this issue and simply gave me a case # [xxx] and asked to go get the problem diagnosed myself.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Recently i have noticed that as i am applying the brake or taking a curve my oil light comes on. After doing some research i found there is an issue of oil consumption that is known. My car averages using a quart of oil every 800-1200 miles. This is not normal at all.
This car has oil consumption problem. It burn 1.5 quarts every 1000 mile. The oil has to be constantly changed. The was a recall for this car, but for toyota to fix this issue; the vehicle has to meet certain requirement depending on the year of the car and the mileage. I noticed the problem in 2017 and i reached out to toyota but they will not fix the issue because my vehicle does not meet the requirement.
I have been dealing with this issue for over a year now. I have done the whole oil consumption test with the dealership and they said that the car had hardly burned off any oil after the 1,200 miles of driving. Yet when i drove the car for another 2,300 miles the oil pressure light comes on. So i have been carrying extra quarts of oil with my whenever the light comes on. Toyota said that i could have it tested again after 6 months and this would be the last one they would perform. There is never leaking oil anywhere out side of the car after it has been parked. Toyota clearly knows that there is an issue since they have posted at tsb. Just fix my car!
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving at 60 mph, the vehicle lost power. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed coolant leaking from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle had previously been inspected by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was towed to the contact's residence where the water pump was replaced by an independent mechanic. Afterwards, the vehicle failed to start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,500.
I took my car to get serviced at a local oil change place in july 2019.they noticed that my engine was consuming oil very rapidly which wasn't normal.luckily for me, there was a former toyota service technician working there who recalled an oil consumption issue impacting some toyota brands. They did a little research and found some information online regarding a potential recall of the impacted vehicles.i wasn't aware of any type of issue with my car's engine or a recall in which i could have it remedied.this was the first time i was hearing of the issue.i took that information to a local toyota dealer and after reviewing it, they said "we're sorry sir, but your vehicle is no longer under warranty so we're not doing anything."they contacted corporate and the response was the same.i contacted corporate and the response was the same as well.i'm really annoyed that toyota noticed an issue with their engine's consumption of oil and didn't inform me.i spoke with the service manager at the same dealership and he said "your car basically has stage 4 cancer... This issue will persist and eventually your car will die."this is literally what he said. Now i'm stuck with a paid-off toyota that will eventually die as a result of toyota's negligence and failure to inform me of an issue.there only option was to sell my car which just seems very telling of the situation as a whole.i work in metro atlanta so at any given time, my car could just die while i'm doing 65mph.and toyota could care less.they're hoping to wash their hands of the matter when they should really be employing common sense practices.if there was some type of recall or issue with my car's engine and i was aware, do they really think i would have twiddled my thumbs and done nothing?i simply want my car fixed especially since i was never aware of any issue.
Excessive oil consumption.camry went from burning 1 qt. Of oil per 5,000 miles (car had 82k miles on it) to burning 1 qt. Per 450 miles (car has 158k miles on it).toyota tested the car and said it came up 0.1 qt short of requiring repair under enhanced warranty,
The car is consuming oil more than normal. Toyota knows about the issue and is refusing to repair the issue. Issue was never notified to me via mail or any other type of communication.
Burning excess oil need cylinder replacement.
I was not told by either toyota or toyota of tampa bay that there was an oil leak problem.i never received a notice in the mail.when i took my car in for service because of a burning smell, i was told to bring it back after driving for a 1,000 miles.i didn't - my error, but i wasn't told there was a warrenty or any kind of major issue.when i did go back, they ran the test again, telling me i'd get a new engine if there was a problem.when i did come back, the story changed to a rebuild engine. Then, when the service rep came to tell me the issue, he said my car had the issue, but the warranty had expired.my car, a 2009, has 67,000 miles on it.
While driving, on braking, the vehicle started making a grinding/rubbing noise appearing to come from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The noise seemed as if the vehicle engine/motor was going to seize up or something would break inside.slowly took it to a local tire kingdom repair shop who would not do anything once they started the vehicle and were alarmed by the engine noise. Advised to take it to an engine repair shop. Slowly, cautiously drove home and parked. On starting the vehicle in the garage, next day, the engine seems to run fine on parked and neutral. On shifting to drive or reverse the rubbing/grinding noise begins again. Have been restrained to sitting at home instead of doing my ride sharing and delivery work. Recently had the timing chain and cam shaft gear replaced.
Excessive oil consumption
Bought a used 09 camry. Everything seemed fine until 2 months after driving the car we noticed it was burning through oil, 2.5+ qts per 1000 miles. Did an oil consumption test and failed only to be told that they couldn't do anything because it's out of warranty (past the 10 yr mark). I don't understand why they'd even perform the oil consumption test knowing they couldn't help if it indeed failed because although it was out of warranty they explained that the oil consumption test is "warranty protocol" before any repairs are made... I called the headquarters office and spoke to 2 reps who both documented my issue and said, "we'll forward your complaint to our manager and create a case... I honestly believe we should take care of this", only to hear back from the manager who lead me on during the call by saying, "it's our job here at toyota to service customers in need. I'm familiar with your situation after reading your case notes. You did nothing wrong and weren't negligent. Let me see what i can do to help you". Then literally the next sentence the guy said, "i'm sorry, we can't help you". I asked him why he said he was going to help me, knowing the details of the case which explained that i wanted to have this oil consumption issue fixed. He literally said, "i was familiar with the resolution you were searching for and i knew you were out of warranty for this particular issue. But because it's a unique situation and i can make things happen on my end, i decided to offer assistance".yet he did nothing. Now i'm out $5500
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle hesitated and made an abnormal noise. The contact stated that the engine turned off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and park safely off the road. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 188,000.
Problem description: my 2009 toyota camry is part of the ze7- warranty enhancement program for excessive oil consumption.my car did not experience this issue until late november and when the car was at 142,500 miles. I contacted toyota customer service and was advised that since the vehicle would be under 150,000 when the oil consumption test was initiated it still met the service guidelines. I took the vehicle to the dealership to initiate the test with the car still under 150,000 miles. Despite the dealer did the repairs, the oil excessive consumption still present. The car has diminished value due to this known issue and i have to either cover the repair cost or deal with the issue which includes constantly checking my oil to make sure it doesn't\'t run out and completely kill the engine. This is unacceptable. I would have never purchased this car had i known about this issue.interested in class action?: yes
On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 rpm) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when a/c is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance.may be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but i am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?
The vehicle had a water pump leak and was replaced under warranty. I noticed the drop in the coolant level and made an appointment with the dealer.
I purchased my 2009 toyota camry in 2008 after graduating college. I have always serviced my car as required per the toyota manufacturers guide to have it serviced every 5,000 miles. The last three or four times i had to take the car at least 500-1000 miles before the required service mileage. About 90% of the service maintenance was performed at the toyota dealership. Per the toyota service package, the technicians are suppose to do a through inspection of the car to notify any areas of concern to the customer.i read a tsb that was issued by toyota in november 2011 regarding excessive oil consumption due to a defective seal or piston ring. Recently before i hit the road for vacation, i was checking my tire pressure and decided to check my oil levels. The car was not suppose to be serviced for another 500 miles and their was no oil on the dipstick..nothing came out. I took my car to the nearest jiffy lube and asked the mechanic to look under the engine to see if there was an external oil leak. The mechanic checked and said no oil was leaking on the outside. He told me there could possibly be engine oil burning up, which is why i pulled the toyota tsb. This is very concerning because i wouldn't want my engine to lock up driving at a high speed down the freeway. Toyota should be held accountable for the manufacturing defect and should investigate the matter. There is a class action lawsuit against toyota for the above matter and i will be sharing my story. Thank you
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the dashboard melted and the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil in a week. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 153,772.
I have to put a quart of oil in it every 900-1000 miles (5 quarts between changes which occur at 5k).it's not leaking (i park in same spot daily, it's being consumed in the engine, and i've recently heard of a recall and have rec'd info. At my home from toyota about a potential recall).
Toyota motor corp. Has issued service bulletin # t-sb-0094-11 dated aug. 11, 2011.this sb describes the diagnosis and repair of toyota motor cars and trucks using the 2az-fe 4 cylinder engine.these engines have a defect resulting in excessive oil consumption.excessive oil entering the combustion chamber does not burn with the fuel air mixture.it enters the exhaust system as unburned fuel.in the exhaust system there is a device called a catalytic converter.this device has a normal internal operating temp. Of 500-1000 degrees f.oil entering this device is like "pouring oil on the fire" which results in exhaust system overheating anf fire.further...excessive oil entering the comsumption chamber results in engine spark plug fouling and mis-fire.engine mis-fire results in a most veryserious consequence...namely...catalytic conv. Overheating and fire.when a spark plug fouls, it does not fire and ignite the fuel and air in the cylinder.result?raw fuel enters the exhaust system including the catalytic converter.now you are "pouring gasoline onto the fire".i suggest you folks investigate this engine defect,and determine if toyota needs to recall the vehicles having this 4 cylinder engine.if this excessive oil consumption problem is not addressed, to include those vehicles out of warranty,there is a potential for life threatening under hood and under car fire to occur on these high mileage vehicles.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.the contact was driving approximately 10 mph when she applied the brakes and the engine rpms increased excessively. The contact shifted into neutral and the rpms decreased as the vehicle came to a stop. The failure was recurring.the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the problem and advised that there were no failulres with the vehicle.the approximate failure mileage was 56,200.
At about 80,000 miles noticed that my wife's car started using oil and a couple times the oil light had come on which scared her. I contacted toyota local dealership and they told me it was normal??? i've been a technician my whole life and told them they were nuts. Not log after we got a notice about an oil consumption tsb and took in for the test. They test it before the oil has any chance for viscosity loss which naturally is going to pass. It uses approx. 2-3 qts. Of oil in a 3,000 mile oil change which is absurd. I've owned toyota's for over 30 years but i've told them this is it no more of them. This is dangerous because this could leave this car disabled most anywhere even in the road!!! please make toyota fix this problem which is huge as everyone i've spoken with on this model has the same problem! is there no honor justice anymore?
Excessive oil consumption.
Oil change done june 22,2015. Went to local mechanic to check all fluids before drive to tampa. Oil level very low. Had oil added on august22 ,2015.on october 27, 2015 inoticed a red light on left side of dashboard saying maint reqd.google says time for oilchange. Sticker from toyato says next oil change 95,330 miles, im only 94,100 or close.is there a recall. I contacted toyota customer service and was told that there was an oil problem, windshield wiper and sun visor problem, which i had not recognized the oil problem. I thought the dealership had just neglected to put the right amount of oil in doing the oil change. Prior to problem i received possible recall notice for something else . Campaign # id#15v577 reference # 878051.i will be calling toyota (autonation) in pinellas park about problem.the light comes on whenever i start up the engine and stays on for about 2 to 3 minutes while driving.
My car consumes excessive amounts of oil.i need to add oil about every 1000 miles.toyota has conducted 2 oil consumption tests and tells me that the oil consumption is normal.
All engine services were done always in toyotas center, now car is 154329 km(95,895miles) and i started to check oil by myself in the last year and i noticed excessive motor oil consumption. Actually i need to add 1qt oil every 3 weeks (1 qt every 350 miles aproximately).the motor is not dripping the oil on the floor, so it must be going somewhere.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while at an independent mechanic for a routine oil change, the technician discovered that there was excessive oil coming from the engine. As a result, the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000. ...updated 02/19/16 ...

The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator inadvertently illuminated and the horn inadvertently failed to function. In addition, when attempting to park and turning the steering wheel to the left, the vehicle veered to the right. Both rear tires made a loud noise, the engine shook violently without warning, and the water hose detached and caused water to leak out. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the shocks were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.

Excessive oil consumption.purchased the vehicle in 2010, never received bulletin from 2015 and burning excessive amounts of oil since purchase.
Car has about 161,000 miles, after around 150,000 miles the engine consumes almost all oil in a week or two. I have to constantly change oil all the time. No oil leaks anywhere.
Engine failed while driving.my engine was rebuilt (4 pistons, rings and all associated parts) by a toyota dealership due to oil consumption failure, less than 25,000 miles later my engine stopped running while i was driving with no indications (no lights, no smoke)at about 154,000 miles. 4,000 outside of the warranty.while driving the vsc and check engine light came on and the temperature gage went all the way down, when i tried to break to slow down the vehicle, the brakes did not work nor did the gas.i was able to move to the shoulder and let the vehicle slow down naturally until i popped the emergency brake. The vehicle has never overheated. Service rep said i lost compression due to a pressure building up in my engine, causing the head gasket and radiator to blow.service rep said their is also a bad piston.toyota service manager has not returned my call, corporate said they are partners with the local toyota dealership and there is nothing they can do.
The engine oil light had come on indicating my oil was low. I had a scheduled oil change appt. At a toyota dealership in a few weeks so i checked the dipstick, which indicated the oil was low, and added two quarts. At my appointment on 11/19/16, i stated the oil issue and the service advisor started the oil consumption test. When i returned to get the results from the test on 1/2/17, it was revealed my car had failed and the oil was extremely low. I am told by a former certified toyota mechanic, that their standards for failing oil consumption tests are very high, so to fail a test is a huge concern. The test was ran when my mileage was at 151,499. The oil consumption issue had obviously started well before the test was ran. However, since my car was out of the 10 yr/150k mile warranty, toyota would not cover the cost of repair. I called the toyota customer care line twice and they told me legally they could not cover the cost. They refused to acknowledge that the problem started before 151,499 miles. I called the toyota region to see if they will fix it in good will since i bought the car in good faith and always had it regularly maintenanced at a toyota dealership. I was still told no, they legally couldn't help me. I was never notified that my car had a potential for excessive oil consumption. The only recall notice i have ever received from them was to get extra grease put on a switch for my window motor. If they had alerted me sooner that my engine needed to be tested or if the service department had told me about the recall for similar cars, then i would not be stuck driving a dangerous vehicle. I have to put a quart of oil in every week just to make sure it is drivable. I am paying for the repair out of pocket hoping that there is no damage to my engine block. I do not want to sell this car since it is a potential danger and put someone else's life at risk.
I was driving and my car's low engine oil light came on.i brought it to toyota and this employee helped me pour in 2.5 quarts of oil.this is in between the maintenance scheule.after getting an oil consumption test from toyota, the employee told me that toyota's standard is that we can lose a quart of oil for every 1200 miles.i brought my car back to them after 1,000 miles.they said that my car passed the test,i noticed that they added a quart of oil to my car.this is so not normal!i just received the extended warranty notice a couple of weeks ago.it defeats the purpose of notifying us if toyota denies that our cars have the oil consumption problem.this powerful company is bullying everyone.a lawsuit does not help get our cars fixed.please recall the cars.otherwise, you are letting toyota get away with bullying behavior.thanks!
Engine seized when driving. Contacted toyota who told me the damage was likely related to an issue involving excessive oil consumption. Toyota was contacted and refused to help.
Excessive oil consumption.toyota says they want repair the problem unless using 1 qtr per 1000 miles.if a car was using that much oil between oil changes there would be no oil for it to run on. If the oil is depleted from the motor on the interstate and locks up, accidents will be caused. My car is using several qtrs between oil changes and this is not acceptable.
Car was running rough, went down my drive way, engine light came on.had it towed to toyota dealership and was told coolant in cylinders and engine was wrecked.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While the vehicle was parked in the contact's driveway, it caught on fire. The contact noticed flames under the hood. The fire department was contacted and extinguished the fire. No injuries were sustained. A police report was filed. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was serviced in august of 2017 per nhtsa campaign number: 15v689000 (visibility) at an unknown local toyota dealer. The same unknown toyota dealer was called and made aware of the recent failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
Starting in 2013 i was having problems with oil usage. Of course i was told it was a random issue and not happening to other vehicles. My engine blow in jan 2014. I had to pay to replace it because it wasn't under warranty. Around august of 2015 i get a letter about the oil consumption. I took it to my local dealer for the test, of course my engine failed the test. We scheduled to have the parts replace in sept 2015. The work was completed and it had a engine noise which i was told was normal. In feb 2016 my engine blew again !! i took it back to the dealer and was told they did nothing wrong !! how ?? it was fine, just using oil up until they took it apart and fixed the problem !! now they refuse to do anything because it was not the original motor !! but i had the same problem with the original motor and they did nothing then either !! so i have a car sitting in storage that cant be driven and they want to nothing !!
This toyota camry engine has a known problem ofconsuming more oil. Toyota never conveyed or sent any letter to me regarding this issue. When i called toyota care after looking at internet posts, toyota customer care told me that this problem is covered under warranty for 10 years and beyond that it is not covered. I told them that i was never conveyed regarding this problem so that i can take my car to toyota dealer instead of my regular mechanic shop. Toyota told me that because you did not bring your call to dealer you did not come to know about the problem. My stand is that i should not be forced to go to dealer for regular repair, any known major issue should have been conveyed to me via proper communications like other recalls. My car is just 10 years 6 months old and toyota is not accepting the warranty of known issue even though they did not send any letter to me regarding this warranty/issue they identified in particular engines including my 2009 camry.
Ran some errands in the vehicle. Was running perfectly. Got home and shut the vehicle off to unload groceries and when it was started back up to park in the barn it blew a head gasket. There were no warning lights that came on prior at all prior to this event. Took to toyota dealership and it was diagnosed with cylinder #2 misfire, rough idle, white smoke coming out exhaust which was caused by the blown head gasket.
At 76427 (3865 miles after oil change) the oil light came on and the dip stick was dry. I took in to mcquire toyota and they started a phase 1 oil consumption test. At 1300 miles i took it back, they only added 1 quart of oil, it passed their test. Then after 2499 miles the oil light came on again and the dip stick was dry. They told me there was nothing they could do about it. I constantly check the oil because i am afraid that the oil will go dry and the engine will blow. I think that this problem will only get worse. After 2499 miles my oil light should not be coming on and the dip stick should not be dry. Toyota's oil consumption test may look good on paper, but it doesn't work in real life. I am 63 tears old and i have never had a vehicle where this happens. I am concerned that this all is going to damage the engine, so i have to keep a close watch of it. Thank you.
This camry is using excessive amounts of oil, at the rate of about one qt every 400 miles.

I noticed my camry was low on oil.took it into the dealership.they said there is a recall on my engine for excessive oil consumption.they verified indeed my car has an excessive oil consumption problem.toyota dealership said they would eventually fix it but all the parts are on back order. At first they said it could take a month or two.i called back a month later, dealership said they could not tell me a date and it may take a year until they have parts.i feel that my car is being compromised burning oil like this.i am having to put a quart in sometimes every 700 miles! what are the consequences of waiting this long to get the repair done and may having to wait a year if toyota even gets back to me.i feel that they are avoiding me and not actually going to fix this repair in a timely manner.

My toyota camry has 128k miles. When it sits overnight it will smoke at start up. It sounds consistent with either an issue with the rings in the engine or the valve seals.

Engine consuming oil
While backing out of my garage unto the driveway and then into the street, it caused a unintended acceleration while driving in reverse, causing almost a 90 degree spin and i had to slam on the brakes for it to finally stop. This happened once on 4/18/12 and then again the exact same thing happened again on 6/8/2012.the first time it happened i thought it was something i did and then when it happened again i knew that "something was really wrong" and when i realized the danger over that weekend i parked the car in my garage and have not driven it since.now i am hearing of car door panels catching on fire for 2007-2009 camrys...i will not even drive this car, it will be towed to the dealership this week. I will not be killed or kill someone waiting for something happen.i will never buy another toyota product again.
My 2009 toyota camry has been burning approximately 1/2 quart of oil per week since october 2016.it had 128000 miles at that time.it now has 134500 miles.i drive approximately 500 miles per week.i fear engine problems and possible seizure.i had a toyota dealership test done at 129500, but their verdict was that the oil consumption was not within the realm of needing repair.the engine used 3/4 quart of oil over 1250 miles, but the toyota guideline is 1.1 quart during the test time period.
About a month ago i was driving along and the radio got really loud for no reason for 10 seconds and then subsided.i didn't think much of this at the time, but after wednesday, i now believe it must have been related somehow.i was sitting off-road waiting for traffic to pass by in order to turn-around and begin driving south. I had just turned on the car and turned the steering wheel in order to make my approximate 175 degree turn.my foot was on the brake and the car ready to move.all of a sudden the engine revved up and the car tried lurching forward as though someone's foot was on the accelerator.i had to reassert my foot pressure on the brake in order to keep the car from moving.my foot had not left the brake, there was no person or thing trying to accelerate the car, it just occurred.the news about faulty accelerators entered my mind.there has not been any further incident at this time.

Was told that the valve cover gasket was leaking, which it was , had it repaired. I had it replaced recently again as the first repair shop did it incorrectly. Car is still using about a half a quart of oil every 700 miles. There are no visible leaks. I had a mechanic check it all over for leaks (resulted in gasket replacement), no other leaks detected. The car now has over 175,000 miles and it is my understanding toyota will not cover it as it is over the 150k limit. It runs normally, no loss of power, does not knock or ping. My concern is that this will get worse over time . I always thought i had nothing to worry about in the way of reliability as a toyota owner. I have my doubts as i have read several complaint sites and see similar issues with this model year, of excessive oil use. Toyota was aware of the issue , i never received notice .
I bought 2009 toyota camry from used dealer in feb 2016. I had some other issues but not losing engine oil. On august 21st took the car for oil change and service adviser asked if my car lose oil. I said no. Then said well if you do lose oil then bring back and we will fix free of charge. Within few days engine oil warning light showed up, took to the same dealer and he said don't worry it will be fixed free. After 3 weeks no response from toyota, called them and found out that they cant repair it free as engine is not original on the car. I said i have now idea as i bought used, plus i never had this before, they sabotage my car to create a work so get paid by the toyota corp. This is not fair toyota having such reputation. Car has still toyota camry engine and driven miles 130k. If toyota will not address the issue, there will be a compaign against toyota from the first place as this car is no more reliable.

Thanks.my car is 2009 toyota camry le.
2007 - 2009 toyota camrys have been noted to have excessive oil consumption issues.my camry is burning approximately 2 qts every 3,000 miles.per toyota's request, my car has been routinely serviced by toyota dealerships; however, no one has ever brought the known issue with my model year to my attention.the most i've ever heard, "your car was a little low on oil."with a published service bulletin, toyota should have notified all effected owners with this information.as the sole owner, and with 99,000 miles, my camry is beyond their warranty, and will require an engine rebuild to mitigate the issue.this is a poor design by toyota and is unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that he heard an abnormal noise under the hood. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be inspected. The failure was located at the water pump, which was fractured and leaking fluid. The vehicle was not repaired.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure mileage was 59,834 and the current mileage was 65,096.
I purchased my car in may 2011 and within a few months, i noticed the oil burning faster than usual yet there were no leaks. This was my second camry which my first i owned for 12 years (also owned a scion so 3rd toyota car purchased) and no issues so i knew this was not normal. I would take my car in for inspection and they couldn't find any leaks and told me it was normal. Finally after years of having to get constant oil changes and purchasing extra gallons of oil to refill every 1k miles or less, i got a letter from toyota on march 2016 and after taking it in for the oil consumption test, my car failed miserably and it was added to the list. My car was fixed on january 2017 and was told i would get reimbursed for the oil that i had to add because of the defect. I submitted all receipts and documentation that they requested on march 2017 and they gave me the runaround for months. Although every single piece of proof was submitted, they would deny the requests. I kept calling and speaking to different reps, faxed/emailed documents as well as sent letters through certified mail. Finally on july 1, 2017, they decided to only pay $500 when the total out of pocket expenses since 2012 was $1,558.08. Their reasoning was that they were only paying for any extra oil used between march 2016 until january 2017. This is not ok because i started having issues in 2012 and the issue was found in 2011 yet they didn't notify me until march 2016. They should have honored what their original letter stated which was based on when my car started having issues. I submitted proof of receipts as well as invoices from goodyear of when this started. They did not honor their agreement as they should have. I am very disappointed and they have lost a loyal toyota customer.
2 complaints:1. When i depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where i have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, i pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. The camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles i have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.
My oil light blinked once on my way home.i checked the oil the next morning before starting the car and it showed no oil on the dipstick!we added 4 1/2 qts of oil.i had never been so much as a 1/2 qt low at oil change.there are no leaks. The oil light never stayed on as a warning.my motor could have conceivably burned up without my knowing there was anything wrong. My 5 year old vehicle is now using at least 1/2 - 1 qts of oil every 1200 miles.we have a 1999 toyota camry with 245,000 miles that only uses approx. 1/2 qt oil per 3,000 miles.after researching on the internet, i can see that mine is not a singular event.toyota should be made to fix the problem.
The engine is burning oil internally. There is no external leakage.noticed the problem in may2019. Have oil change done. After 600 miles, noticedthe same problem excessive oil consumption on july 27, 2019.in my opinion it is a safety hazard and should have a recall. The program coverage is applicable for 10 years from the date of use or 150,000 miles which ever occur first. My vehicle is not covered anymore. The consumer stated the manufacturer was notified and declined to offer any assistance.
It consume too much engine oil. I have to add oil every other day. After 1000 miles it becomes dry . I took it to the mechanic, he said all the toyota camry 2009 have this issue, the engine needs to be replaced.
The arms of the motor mount are defective causing the vehicle to shake heavily at a stopped position or even stall when vehicle is in reverse with the brake slightly released. My previous 1999 camry had the same issue. The dealership replaced, in august 2011, one of the arms on my 2009 camry due to cracks in the mount yet the issue is re-occurring again.
Excessive oil consumption started in 2016 & it is getting worse. Adding a bottle of engine oil twice a month. My car only has 103k miles and is 2009. I bought it brand new & is in great condition. The dealership won't do anything about this issue.
My 2009 camry se (4 cylinder) did not burn oil, leak oil or otherwise have any issue with oil until i got my oil low oil light at approximatley 130,000 miles.i immediately called the local dealership that had been the only place that had changed the oil in my car.they told me that this was a known problem, and the sudden oil consumption could be fixed if it failed a simple test. The test is to change the oil in your camry, and between 1,000 and 1,300 miles later (not to exceed 1,300 miles) to dump an entire quart of oil in the crankcase.if the level was full, there was no further action to take.if it was lower than full, toyota would tear into your engine and fix the issue at no cost to me.not a very scientific test, but they performed this on my car at approximately 133,000 miles.it was not determined that further action was required.i determined that my car had used 4 quarts of oil in approximately 4,700 miles, prior to the test.the dealership told me that i should wait until it was burning more oil, and i could bring it back in to repeat the test.9 months later, i determined that i was using 1 quart of oil for every 1,000 miles driven.i now have 150,430 miles on the vehicle.during the original test, the advisor told me that there was no mileage limit, and they had actually just rebuilt the engine in a rav 4 with 179,000 miles on it.during the call on 12-23-16, i was told that i missed the deadline of october 31st, and the deal now only was for vehicles with less than 150,000 miles.i called the toyota customer service number 800-331-4331and opened case number 1612273514. They informed me the program had never changed, and dealerships were confused with how to administer the program.i was told that the piston rings are a known problem, but there was nothing they would do for me at this time. They field many cs calls on this matter.
Purchased this car from drive time 10/2016.last two years oil consumption in between oil changes has reached putting 4 to 10 quarts of oil in this car.recently had gaskets, radiator, coil and sparks changed (10/2019).i now as of this day (12/21/2019) have the same problem (engine failure).gaskets has to be replaced again. I was driving on city street when the engine check light and the vsc came on.i have complained to every one including where i brought this vehicle from.it appears i have no rights regarding toyota and drive time and their unwillingness to correct their mistakes.i know this cannot be the case.who is holding these entities accountable?.this car has stopped and i do not feel safe driving it.i have put more money in this car regarding this engine and i should not have to fight to get this corrected.this is a defect on toyota's part and drive time for the sale of this car under these conditions.how are these people being held accountable and what are my rights which i know i have.doing research there was no recall.why not.i will be filingcomplaint with the state attorney also.something needs to be done.
I own a 2009 camry which i bought as a new car. Few days ago i was approaching my garage driveway at a normal slow speed when my car suddenly accelerated by its own.i tried to press the brake at hard as i could to stop the car but it continue to speed up till it smashed into the garage wall and broke it.the impact was so severe thestair case on the other side of the wall go displaced and shattered. Air bags did not deploy.i kept on pressing the brakes but the wheels were rotating so fast that the front tire got burst after rubbing so fast against the garage floor.the vehicle finally came to stop after the impact but the entire garage and the house was full of black smoke due to burning tires.this uncontrolled sudden acceleration might kill someone if it had happened on a city street.this is a severe problem and must be investigated thoroughly to avoid similar cases in future.we demand that the regulatory agencies and state and federal transportation boards shall investigate this case and avoid similarfuture incidents.
While driving the vehicle, the rubber portion of the vvt-i oil hose ruptured. This faulty part, which toyota neglected to replace with their updated all-metal line under their tsb, will eventually fail on all vehicles that have it and poses a serious risk for catastrophic engine damage, as well as the possibility of an engine oil fire under the hood due to its proximity to hot engine parts, as well as the exhaust manifold.
Engine operates with excessive oil usage. Consumes/loses 1 quart of oil in 700 miles as of this filing date. I went to toyota service center at 12/2011 at 82,700 miles and they said no problem - 1 quart usage per 1000 miles is normal. Also, door locks stopped working at 45,000 miles or so.

Oil burning consumption, my vehicle is constantly burning oil and when i went to the toyota of orlando dealership to have the oil consumption test done they advised my vehicle had passed the test,so due to them stating this they did not repair my vehicle , since then i have reached out to toyota and they too, are failing to do any repairs to the vehicle as now my vehicle is over the millage , but when i originally went and got the test done it was under the millage for them to fix it. I constantly have to keep putting oil in my vehicle and i don't think that is fair to me as they failed to do the repair.

But in the end, they denied his claim, due to lack of documentation.the consumer has since had the vehicle fixed, at his expense.
Excessive oil consumption
Engine oil dries up after some days after oil change without any leak or anything. It is happening so many times that i made sure and checked engine oil and after 20 30 days there will be no oil in engine and the engine warning do not come on. There is no leak uder the car. I made sure by putting cardboard under car so if ther is drip i can see . I checked with so many mechanics last 3 years no one knows why this is happening.
I am having issues with back passenger window on driver side. I have to press the button at least three times before it rolls up. Also my car consumes oil. The black,top of my dashboard is sticky and has cracks. I have been to my local toyota dealers and no one has addressed these issues. How do i get remedy before contacting legal council?
Iā€™m having to top off and refill my oil every 2 weeks.
Toyota engine excessive oil consumption. There is almost no engine oil left after driving about 1500 miles.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 10 mph, the check engine and oil leak warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (bennett toyota located at 1951 lehigh st, allentown, pa 18103; (610) 437-6711), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Excessive oil consumption recall:over the last year i noticed my oil consumption was drastically increasing.i started burning through oil and having to add a quart every 2 months and now monthly.in the past few months, a very large plume of white smoke would spew out of my tail pipes; not just a little but a large cloud of smoke.it has a very burnt smell to it too.the smoke dissipates after the car warms and as long as the car is warm, it will not smoke.it only smoke when the vehicle has been off for over 2-3 hours.i was told by a certified toyota mechanic that i need to replace the engine due to faulty internal parts.he stated it was the reason for such a high level of oil consumption.i discovered that toyota is currently recalling certain engine blocks due to oil consumption defects, however my vin number is not part of that recall as of now.according to toyota, my vin could eventually become part of the recall (oil consumption recall) but as of now, it is not.i don't understand how a major manufacturer will not stand by their product and repair my engine considering they are already recalling other engines with the exact same issues i am having with my camry.this was my first camry too.very disappointed with toyota.
Excess oil consumption
Engine oil consumption
Bob tyler toyota sold me a 2009 toyota camry when they knew that the 2009 camrys had an oil consumption problem. I learned of a class action lawsuit that was filed against toyota regarding this problem. Toyota announced a program to extend warranty coverage to address customer complaints of excessive engine oil consumption on certain 2007-2009 camrys. Toyota was supposed to replace parts on the affected toyota camrys for vehicles exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. Eligibility for part replacement under this warranty enhancement program is dependent on a toyota dealer engine oil consumption test in accordance with t-sb-0158-14(toyota) and s-sb-0031-14(scion). I took my toyota camry to bob tyler for routine maintenance/oil changes and other maintenance. I noticed that my toyota was burning a quart of oil every few hundred miles. I took my camry to bob tyler toyota and they did the oil consumption test and stated that my car narrowly passed so it did not qualify to be fixed. Since my camry has gotten worse. My camry only has 108,000 miles on it which is less than the cutoff mileage that toyota has set for oil consumption problems. I took my toyota back to bob tyler this year and was advised that my camry is over the age limit for the oil consumption problem. I met with bob tyler and advised him of the problem that i was having with my 2009 toyota camry. I advised that my camry has been burning oil and that the maintenance department never brought it to my attention before the age of my camry exceeded the warranty cutoff. Bob tyler said it was not his problem. Bob tyler toyota never made it clear when the cutoff age/mileage for a car to be covered started and ended. Bob tyler now refuses to do repairs on my camry and it is getting worse. Bob tyler knows that this oil problem is hazardous to the driver and passengers.i would like to have my camry repaired or receive refund in amount of repair cost so i can have it repaired at a different toyota dealership.
My 2009 toyota camry is consuming an excessive amount of oil.during my last regular oil change, the dip stick was dry.i asked the technician to ensure there were no leaks and everything was tight and he assured me it was.i began googling the issue and learned this is a common problem with my year/make/model. It is consuming oil at an alarming rate.
Excessive oil consumption
Car had no oil left in it after 5000 miles and just getting oil change at that time.was told my 2.4 engine is known to "eat" oil per service tech and toyota is doing an "oil consumption test" on the engine after i put 1200-1300 miles on new engine oil. Car went through 4.5 qts of oil in 5000 miles! not burning out exhaust and not leaking anywhere. Service tech advised this is known problem. According to them, after "oil consumption test" if my car "eats" less than a quart in 1100 miles that is acceptable!that is not. I know 20 year old cars that don't burn or leak or "eat" oil at oil.this known issue with the toyota 2.4 engine should be recalled and owners given a new engine or compensation.i cannot keep putting oil in car every 1100 miles!toyota needs to be held accountable for a defect they are aware of.i was lucky to not have taken my car on long trip and have engine seize up on me on highway causing a possible crash.please help with this problem. I know others have similar complaints with nhtsa and also other websites and wanted to bring mine to your attention also. Thank you very much!! ...updated 07/30/15
Vehicle has excessive oul consumption. We received notification from toyota of the problem.
Excessive burning of oil. Have had to change oil in less than 3000 miles due to oil light coming on and no oil registering on dipstick, and now no oil after just over 1000 miles of driving.
My excessive oil consumption engine needed repairs per a toyota major recall.i took the car and as you can see below it has been a very frustrating experience.after being told that my 2009 toyota camry was on a recall list, i was given a possible repair date of within 10 months.i waited and was given a drop off date of 1/23/2017.i was given a rental car and went on to work.after 5 days i was told my car was ready but, that i would have to pay for parts that were removed/replaced to do the work on the recall.i questioned why i was being charged for consequential damages to parts that should be included as part of the labor due to the recall.i got fetched a long story from toyotas 800 number and i had no choice but, go pick up my car and pay the $269.54.i picked it up and noticed that it was driven 58 miles, upon leaving and as i got on the main road i noticed that there was a huge crack on my windshield as well.i called back and spoke to [xxx] , he was rude, a bully, and accused me of lying about the damage.i begged them to pull their security tapes which they refused.toyota should pay for this recall to include any parts that should get damaged in the process as they perform their repairs.i'm asking for a full refund and an investigation into the damaged windshield.i refuse to go back to their store and prefer to have the windshield replaced at either my residence or place of employment.i've owned 3 toyotas and refuse to go by and purchase my next car from [xxx].i realize that i am a single customer however; i work hard for my money.i've never tried to abuse my car and i keep up with the maintenance.in my opinion [xxx] should be retrained.his lack of professionalism is going to cost you guys thousands and you will continue to lose valuable customers if you continue to refuse to do the right thing.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the engine oil would dispense rapidly at approximately every 2,000 miles. The contact also stated that the low oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be diagnosed and was placed in a 1,000 mile consumption test. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 36,800.
Ref: toyota service bulletin "t-sb-0094-11" dated aug 11, 2011background: car purchased in 2011 as a certified used toyota, approx 34k miles, currently has about 72k milesissue: parts in the engine are known to create problems by toyota, customers not notified and most of the complaints i've read are of customers with mileage upwards of 60k who have now been advised by toyota that they are responsible for the costly engine repairs. Toyota analysts/adjusters informed me that since only about 4% of the toyota engines are affected by this bad engine part they are not doing a recall. I asked them why i hadn't been informed in writing of this known defect and their answer was that they only advise their technicians. This information could have helped me be more alert and understand why i was having to perform so many oil changes and to also prompt me to get my car tested at a toyota facility. My car was still running, the engine didn't seize up. The piston parts that were bad finally broke but since toyota claims it was a "failure to maintain lubrication" issue they feel they are not liable. They also said i should have been checking my oil every single time i turned on my car!!! well i'm gathering all of my documentation of my service maintenance records and will be retaining a lawyer. I truly believe it's just a matter of time before more customers come forward and this becomes the next civil action lawsuit against toyota.
My 2009 toyota camry is part of the ze7- warranty enhancement program for excessive oil consumption.the primary coverage for this issue was good until october 31, 2016 and secondary cover until 150,000 miles or 10 years from the date of first use (whichever comes first).my car did not experience this issue until late november and when the car was at 149,500 miles.i contacted toyota customer service (case #1611293174) and was advised that since the vehicle would be under 150,000 when the oil consumption test was initiated it still met the service guidelines.i took the vehicle to the dealership to initiate the test with the car still under 150,000 miles.the dealership contacted toyota and toyota advised that since the car would be over 150,000 mile when the car finished the test it would not be covered.i contacted toyota again referencing my case number and they verified what i was told by the customer service rep but now were telling me it would not be covered.this is a know issue by toyota and they are doing everything in their power to get around repairing a defective part.now i have to file a lawsuit in order to get the vehicle repaired. The car has diminished value due to this known issue and i have to either cover the repair cost or deal with the issue which includes constantly checking my oil to make sure it doesn't run out and completely kill the engine.this is unacceptable. I would have never purchased this car had i known about this issue.
The defective engine on my 2009 camry made me almost crash while driving on the highway. Basically i had multiple misfires and lost the power in the middle of the highway risking the car behind me crashing into me. I have the 2.4l engine. This engine is notorious for burning oil due to faulty pistons, and even though a lot of people had this problem, toyota never issued a recall. My engine burns a lot of oil too not only risking my life by having multiple misfires, but it also ruins my catalytic converter and not to mention the cost of oil that i use to constantly top it of.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While parking the vehicle, it accelerated to 25 mph without warning and crashed into a building. A police report was filed. The rear passenger sustained minor injuries, which required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (harr toyota, 100 gold star blvd, worcester, ma 01606) where it was determined that the vehicle was remedied per nhtsa campaign number: 10v017000 (vehicle speed control) years ago. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 119,000.
My 2009 camry started burning excessive oil i am guessing at about 85,000 (toyota definitely has record of it).i told them about it at my service appointment and they put the dye in and checked for oil leaks.all was fine. Since it just happened once i decided that maybe it was a fluke.nope.same thing happened so my next service appointment i mentioned it again.they told me i would either need a new engine or i would just have to put up with it and make sure there was always enough oil.it wasn't too bad at the time because it would only happen every 2,500 or so.now it is happening every 1,000 miles, and i looked online and could not believe how many complaints there are for the same thing, and the fact that there is no recall!!!can you help get them to fix it since there are soooo many complaints on the exact same subject?
Excessive oil consumption...!!!!!!
My toyota camry car got water pump leak issue and it overheated my engine and it needed engine replacement. I am out of warranty period.it has 36k miles on it and 5 year 6months old. Toyota dealer asking me to replace the engine, water pump, and other misc parts.i have not received any recall notice. Is my vin number missed in recall. Am i ripped off because of toyota issue.
Vehicle consumes 1 quart of oil each 1,200 miles while driving in city
One or more of the threads that receive the head bolts are stripped, which caused a leaking head gasket and coolant is entering the cylinders.when starting/stopping, you can hear the coolant sloshing around.the cabin heat goes away and the engine overheats.the mechanic says this is a common problem for that engine.the head bolts are steel and the receiving threads are aluminum.repair options are to put steel inserts into the aluminum or replace the engine.both options are about the same in labor costs, but it was recommended to go with replacing the engine because the inserts would are likely to work loose in a few years.replacing the with a refurbished engine will cost about $5500.engineering 101...for a critical joint that is subject to vibration and heat/cooling cycles, never thread into aluminum!
This car burns about two quarts of motor oil in just one week. Since we purchased this car several years ago it's been burning oil more than it should. There aren't any leaks. It's just burns it.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while turning the vehicle stalled. The contact stated the vehicle resumed normal function after it stalled. The contact did not take the vehicle to a local mechanic or a dealer. The failure mileage was 56,091.
Driving north on a highway i experienced the battery check and check engine light turned on, as well as lost power steering.pulled off at the first available exit to see what happened, engine was no longer powering the wheels and i coasted to a stop on a ramp where i was forced to wait for police assistance.opening the hood i saw the serpentine belt thrown off the engine and steaming from the belt side, after police helped me push the car to a nearby parking lot there was noticeable wobble in the water pump which allowed antifreeze to leak out and get sprayed inside the engine compartment. The next day the vehicle was towed to a dealer who wanted to run a diagnostic and then wanted to disassemble the engine to see the extent of the damage.i was informed that the cylinder head was warped due to the loss of coolant when the water pump failed and that they saw this often enough to be sure of the cause.water pump failed at around 31,000 miles with no leakage beforehand.this seems to be an issue with the camry that toyota is refusing to admit to and assist in repairs.due to self maintenance of car they claim damage was most likely showing and ignored by us.
Engine burns approximately 1 quart of oil for every 500 miles. General toyota of toms river stated that oil consumption on the engine is within allowance and refused to correct the problem at 142000 miles. Car has been brought to this dealer with no oil on the dip stick, and ignored.
The car uses an excessive amount of oil. The problem started around 45,000 miles and continues to get worse.toyota knows about the problem, and has sent me a tsb.under the tsb they will top off your oil, seal up any way that oil goes in or out and you drive 1000 miles and they measure the oil to see if you have lost a full quart.i have never in my 40 years of driving had a car that lost that much oil.toyota is avoiding taking care of their customers.they should be forced to fix it.they know they have bad pistons.
The care is burning oil at an alarming rate. So much so that the engine can fail and shut down during normal operating procedures this is dangerous, to me, my family and everyone else on the road.toyota knows about the issues and hasn't recalled the cars to be fixed. Toyota should be held liable for any wrecks or damages caused by the know issue and should voluntary fix all vehicles with this issue..
Excessive oil consumption.took to toyota dealer and they performed a test on it and said it was normal to.loosing a quart ever 1100 miles.
My toyota camry consumes an exorbitant amount of oil.i bought this car in summer 2013 with approx 35,000 miles, and within two-three month after my first oil change, the low oil warning lamp would turn on at hard braking.it turned out that the oil level was critically low even though it had been very recently changed.i was lucky to discover it when i was close to home so i was able to add oil.the inspection of the car did not reveal any oil leaks.i now have to add oil every several weeks even though the car has barely touched 50,000 miles.the car is now out of warranty.had i embarked on a long trip right before the oil level fell low enough to trigger the low oil warning light, i could have experienced a catastrophic failure of the engine as open highway driving does not usually require hard braking.as a result i would have not found out that the engine was out of oil and could have suddenly stalled causing an accident.i am the second owner of this car.before it was serviced as a toyota dealer and the maintenance paperwork that came with the car did not point to any issues with the higher than normal oil consumption.please do not wait until people get hurt in accidents caused by failed engines and make toyota to fix this problem as the oil consumption is getting progressively worse with time and miles driven.instead of sudden acceleration people may start getting killed from sudden stops caused by failed engines!!!
Car is burning >2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles.115k miles on the car.the trouble began about when trump got into office and is gradually getting worse.
Excessive oil usage. The vehicle has no apparent leaks, but consumes massive amounts of oil. I did not have a problem with the oil consumtion until over 150,000 miles.
Around 140,000 miles (3-1-15) i noticed that i was staring to add oil between oil changes.it has become worse with time (and mileage).i now (9-12-16) need to check and add oil at least every three weeks.
The contact called on behalf of a sister who owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil. The vehicle was taken to autonation toyota pinellas park service center located at 8501 us hwy 19 n #1, pinellas park, fl 33781, where the failure was associated to manufacturer warranty enhancement program: ze7 (engine). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,000.
Our car began burning excessive oil around 75,000 miles.as it turns out, this problem is due to a defective 2az-fe engines which were installed in the following vehicles: 2007-2011 toyota camry hv, 2007-2009 toyota camry, 2009 toyota corolla, 2009 toyota matrix, 2006-2008 toyota rav4, 2007-2008 toyota solara, 2007-2009 scion tc, and 2008-2009 scion xb . Toyota knew about the material design defect enginesbut they decided to sell the cars anyway: the engine defect typically becomes apparent either during or shortly after the limited warranty period has expired, so it wouldn't be their problem. In response to a lawsuit in 2014, they issued an extended warranty. However, the guidelines are very restrictive and only cover the most egregious cases, leaving us with a faulty engine that consumes a quart of oil every 1200-1400 and no means of repairing the vehicle.
My 2009 toyota camry is consuming a lot of oil, in between oil changes i have to add a quart of oil, it is burning oil abnormally. I took it to the toyota dealership for the oil consumption test but was told my vehicle is fine and burning oil as it should for age of the car. My mechanic tells me different. However i do not feel comfortable with how it is burning the oil so quickly.
Engine stalled while driving 15mph and was towed to toyota and they could find nothing wrong with car.
The contact owned a 2009 toyota camry. He stated that after having the recall repair performed on the brakes, 3 days later while driving 40 mph the vehicle lost power; however, the engine was still on. The vehicle was towed and donated to a facility. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileages were 16,000.
I have a 2009 toyota camry hybrid.i got an oil change.a day later the dash light came on.i just assumed that they didn't reset my oil change light.i drove it for about two weeks and then took a 300 mile round trip.when i was driving home, i was hearing a knocking noise.i went to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle.they said that the oil filter was not on the vehicle, there was oil under the body of the car and that i would need a new engine due to this one burned up.has anyone ever had an oil filter blown off the vehicle.i'm curious due to the fact that it took two weeks to burn up and oil would have come out faster if the oil filter had been left off from the oil change.
Ntsb: 2009 toyota camry: consumer stated the vehicle had a consistent problem with the left side motor mount, dog bone, and a poor quality rubber insulator component. *ssthe consumer stated she was shown where the insulator had cracked and split.
With toyota t-sb-0094-11, toyota acknowledges that they have a problem with oil consumption in a handful of car models.they have set the bar high in order to get the repair covered, either under the normal or extended warranty.the problem gets worse as time goes on, so most cars will not experience issues until they are near or passed their warranty mileage.a series of oil consumption tests is required, but in my experience, they do not make sure the oil is not over full.i have had two tests thus far, and both times they have overfilled my oil by ~0.5 quarts.
My car experienced sudden & strong engine surging - the pedal did not seem to be involved.yet, required driving at slow speeds and the brake had to be applied very strongly to control the speed.it is a 2009 camry, but not on the toyota recall list (this was confirmed w/the toyota dealership).the toyota dealership could not replicate the problem, found no indication of it in the computer/electronic logs in the car. They had their service manager & quality control managers check it.no one can identify the problem. Yet, it was real and quite frightening.i am concerned and believe that there are problems other than the gas pedal issue currently being investigated.
While parking and depressing the brakes, the car accelerated like a rocket and jumped over the parking curb onto the road with two way traffic.i had no control over the car. Within a few seconds the car flew across the road and hit a fence and was stopped only when it fell into a ditch by the railroad tracks.luckily the car did not turn over.surprisingly, the air bags did not deploy.i kept hitting the breaks and when the car stopped my foot was still on the brake.
Water pump failure at 3 years & 65,375 miles.powertrain warranty is 5 years or 60,000 miles.internet search indicates potential issue with the 90,000 mile coolant.have contacted dealer and toyota motor corp.

I bought a toyota camry on may 10 2011,the same week i felt the car acting up, i made an appointment for service and told then what it does,the service manager said it was normal,i taking my car 5 or more times for service and all they say is normal,my camry shakes,vibrates all the time,i am afraid that the car is going to turn off on me and cause an accident one of this daysthat is the feeling i get every time i drive this car, i am a single mom with 2 girls all i want is honesty the seller dealer they need to let the buyer know of the wear things the camry does before making the purchase the way the buyer can make the decision of purchasing the car or not...
2009 toyota camry, ac smell like a rotten egg. Online search shows that many car owners have this issue. This smell is so intense that car can not be driven w/o windows open. It gives head-ache and hard to bear with it.this issue should have been identified as a major issue requiring recall since we may end-up spending more money on health issues associated with it. Impact of this on economy due to loss of working day and productivity can not ignored.
Safety hazard!. 2009 toyota camry (likely all hybrid automobiles) will continuously restart the gas engine to recharge the battery if the ignition system is not turned off when departing the vehicle. If the auto is in an attached garage this could result in accidental co poisoning to occupants within the dwelling. I have observed a hybrid continuously restarting while parked in the driveway. This car is usually kept in an attached garage. The owner forgot to turn off the ignition upon leaving the car. This is likely a common event. This will eventually result in seriously injury or death, and may have already happened and not been properly identified and reported. I had reported this safety hazard to the ntsb in mid-2009 with no subsequent ntsb acknowledgement or follow-up.

I had a online appointment with toyota of vacaville at 0:930 at vacaville ca and i dropped off the vehicle and was told it would be ready at lunch. I came to pick up at 13:30 and it was not ready. They did not fix the urgent recall . Too busy selling oil changes and tire changes. Took car home at 13:30 please investigate if selling out serves fixing recalls i now just want a refund after this . They don't care if my car suddenly accelerate they just want to sell service. I hope and this is why i am writing this my car doesn't suddenly do this and injury kids and stuff but my feeling from the dealer at vacaville is that selling products is what they do.

I have a 2009 toyota camry, i was driving it to ocean city md when all of the sudden my car stalls i started it again and it started but started to make a really loud pinging noise and stalled out again. So i look under the car and there is a really big puddle of oil. I towed it to toyota so they could tell me what was wrong with it. Turns out a rod of some kind came lose and went thru my oil panel which drained out all the oil in turn making my engine seize up because it was getting no oil. Toyota wont fix it because i was late on some oil changes and got the last one done by somebody else. And they say it could have been cause the oil was low but that's impossible!
I have a 2009 camry le i bought in december 2008. It shakes alot in the cold and was told its because of snow and ice build up, and i accepted that. I then drove it when the temperature was 45 degrees with no snow or ice and it still shook, as if the balance was off but i know its not.ilive in boston and hope they can correct it, otherwise i like the car.
I have a 2009 toyota camry.i purchased it in 2008.it started shaking/vibrating every time you come to a stop light one year after i purchased it.i took it to the toyota dealer twice (once to have the oil changed and again because the vibration was so bad) and they proceeded to tell me it is because the air filter and fuel line filter needed to be changed & cleaned out.it would cost me almost $500.the car was only a year old.i was wondering if this is the same problem that they noticed with the current corolla recall?we had the 2 air filters changed & it still continues to shake.some times so violently that you can see your hand on the steering wheel vibrating and the rear view mirror is blurred.
On wednesday, 2/16/11, at 4:50 p.m. I was traveling down sudbury street in boston, ma to make a right hand turn onto congress street in boston.i came down the hill and stopped at a red traffic light.my car, for no apparent reason, began to race and would not stop.i applied more pressure to the brake and shifted the car into park.it continued to race for 5-10 seconds after i did this.this was a very frightening incident, given there was a stopped vehicle in front of me, a vehicle behind me and many pedestrians at that hour.i no longer feel secure with the car and am anticipating that this may re-occur at any time.

In my 2009 toyota camry le, the recirculation switch turns off after about three minutes, letting in air from the outside.this is an ongoing problem whenever i'm behind a diesel vehicle.my car fills with fumes that affect my breathing.the first time i went to the toyota dealer, they said it was a standard fix, and would cost me $50.when i went in a second time, and said i didn't want to pay, they said there was no way to fix it.it's clear to me that this is a design defect, that will have a detrimental effect on the driver and passengers, and that toyota needs to fix it.

Toyota camry 2009 engine failure due to sludging. My leased 2009 toyota camry (just two year old car) recently had died right ona road while i was driving it to my mechanic. Few days before that i noticed a clanking noise coming from under the hood. Call my mechanic and got an appointment. On the day of the appointment noticed clanking noise increase when i started engine. Not even 2 miles later my engine -boom!- had thrown rod through the bottom of the case, making a large hole, spilling oil all over the road. Luckily, i was able to drift and pull to the side without causing accident. Towed car to the nearest toyota center, where they opened top cover of the engine and right away announced that engine is gelled and toyota will not cover the repair under warranty because to them the sludge they saw looked like clear case of poor maintenance. Even though i carefully kept and produced all receipts showing that i was changing oil, filter and rotated tires every 5000 miles. My internet research showed that there could be a lot more reasons to sludge build-up than just poor oil change habit, but as far as i am aware, toyota did not perform any tests or checks on my car. Just one look and-voila- they already know that it is my fault. Fact that this is my 3-rd back-to-back toyota lease and that i always keep receipts of service does not mean anything to them. $7000-$8000 repair out of my pocket is out of question. I will speak with toyota headquarters in california. If this will not resolve my problem, i will have no choice but to engage my attorney and litigate. I also want to open a case and report dangerous situation i was put through due to camry engine failure while driving on a road at 50 mi/h. I could easily be less lucky.
After coming to a stop at a traffic light, my car engine sped up, forcing me to press down harder on the brake.the engine continued to increase in speed, and i placed the car into neutral, at which point the engine raced quite high.i turned off the ignition, the engine stopped, and i restarted it a few seconds later without further incident.my foot had not been on the accelerator from the time i stopped at the traffic light until i resumed my travels, after restarting the engine.not sure about the model year; it might have been a 2010 model.i rented the car in las vegas from advantage and have asked for the vin, but have not heard from the company yet.it is their car # [xxx] .information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I parking lot.put car into drive and pressed the accelerator to pull out of parking space.car accelerated quickly and stopped when car hit telephone pole.due to short distance car travel, was unable to apply brake before hitting the telephone pole.
Twice within a week my gas pedal did not release, resulting in a continued acceleration for my 2009 camry hybrid.first time was on an exit ramp where i release pressure on the pedal to slow down but it did not move for a few seconds.the second time was pulling out and needing to quickly accelerate, i then released pressure, but the car continued to increase in speed. Both times i move the floor mat toward my seat, and the second time required shifting the car into neutral.after the second incident, i took my car to the dealer who sold it to me and reported the above. They looked at the mat and secured it with clips that were not there before.this was prior to the pedal recalls.
Below you will find the email that i sent to toyota on february 7, 2010 as well as the response i received.to this date i have not received any other communication from toyota.i truly believe that one of these safety recalls led to my car accident in november, 2009.my vehicle was included in both the floor mat and accelerator recalls.discussion threadcustomer 02/07/2010 09:51 am i had a car accident 11-30-09 which resulted in the total loss of my 2009 camry le [xxx]. Due to the closed head injury i received, i am unable to recall the accident. However, viewing the accident report, it appears my vehicle was traveling much faster than i travel on this roadway. It was noted that my side airbag did not deploy when my vehicle struck a tree on the drivers side door. Due to the recalls, i am now concerned that one of the recall issues was the cause of my accident. My car is now at a salvage yard near atlanta, ga. And i feel that toyota should be concerned enough to check my car for defects. I bought this car based on your reputation for dependability and safety, and now due to the recalls, i can't imagine buying another toyota. Perhaps my greatest concern are media reports that toyota has been aware of these problems for quite some time and chose not to notify owners. I now have to wonder about this companies ethics.

While merging onto i-5 i pushed the resume speed selection on speed control. The car sped up and exceeded the preset speed of 59 mph and reached 80 mph. Neither applying the brakes or pushing the speed controls on/off switch turned the speed control off. I turned the key off and on to control the steering and used the parking brake to get the car to the shoulder. This was a very freighting experience so i just sat there for a while. I started the car and the engine a couple times and rpms went to the red line. The floor mat was laying flat and hooked. I looked under hood and nothing looked unusual. I started the engine again and it ran normally. I phoned the dealer's service dept, and they said it was probably the floor mats and a recall notice was in the works. We have driven the car about 5000 miles since incident, but we don't use the speed control. I am scheduled to have the accelerator pedal replaced this week.
Upon purchasing this car in/2013we immediately had trouble with the 12 vcigarette lighters. Plugging in the standard items like a cell phone or gps will only get us about 20 minutes at brst , before blowing the fuses.it doesn't matter which power point we use, it happens in each if them.the place we bought the car examinedthe situation three times and couldn't decipher the problem.a toyotadealership would charge over $100 just for a diagnostic check. Due to this problem we don't feel safe traveling far with the vehicle, being unable to charge cell hone, gps, or safety cameras.the car is otherwise very reliable, but for a battery which suddenly died on us one very cold night. We were surprised it didn't dive a warning that it might need replacing soon.as for the electrical problem, we were told we may be able to purchase an alternative external system to compensate for the cigarette lighters, from a place like best buy.
The dashboard is very sticky and melting causing a glare on the windshield making it difficult to see to drive.
To whom it may concern: i bought a 2009 camry le from herb chamber boson in last oct.recently i heard the recall. However, i don't believe the reason for the recall simply blaming the floor mat.i did experience an unintended acceleration when using cruise. The cruise was set at 70 mph and suddenly the speed went up over 85 mph, and i noticed that the acceleration was at its full strength and showed no sign to stop. I immediately braked my car to automatically shut offthe cruise control. At that time, i just blamed the stupid computer program, which may account for the incident. However, when reading other person's stories about the recall, i realized that something more serious than the floor mat was actually responsible for those accidents. To tell the truth, i barely use the cruise since that incident. I just want toyota to seriously look into this problem. I will keep a copy of this message here in case i need it in the future.
Consumer expresses discontent over the replacement cost to update a gps system in 2009 toyota camry *tgwthe consumer stated the memory cd for the gps needs to be updated.the dealer wanted to charge the consumer $199.00 for simply replacing the cd with an updated version.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. Approximately one month ago the the contact stated that her radio display was not visible whenever she started the vehicle. Within a few weeks, the rear power windows began opening on their own. The contact was driving approximately 20 mph when the brakes were engaged; however, the vehicle would not stop which caused her to crash into a vehicle in front of her. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a body shop who advised the contact that there was also an electrical failure since the vehicle would start. The repair shop made several attempts to start the vehicle and was unsuccessful. The manufacturer advised her that the recall repair will start in april and that she would have to wait until then. The contact stated that the air bags did not deploy. The failure mileage was 19854.

Toyota camry hybrid has an insufficient warning label on the high voltage service plug. The small type and the tiny international symbols are not recognizable until you take cap out to read the message. After i removed the cap to read the message, i discovered it was a warning message not to remove the cap. I was indeed fortunate not to have been killed or seriously injured. As it was, i disabled my car and had to have it towed to the dealership to have the service module reset. After altering my travel plans and towing the car to the dealership, i discovered that the problem could have been resolved by pushing the cap down and driving the car to the dealership for reprogramming. If the dealer or the manufacturer had given me the information i requested, i could have avoided considerable wasted time and expense.
Glare due to melted dashboard cause delay reaction due to poor visibility resulting in double impact. The dashboard issue looks to be a cosmetic issue but it really should be a recall as it is clearly a poor manufacturing product that when in contact with the sun turns into a shinny sticky residue that reflects the direct light right into de driver and passenger's face.toyota should stand by their product and replace the poorly designed dashboards before a fatality occurs.
My car was parked at work in march, 2017.the vehicle next to me was a bmw suv.about one hour and fifteen minutes later the bmw burst into flames causing fire damage to my vehicle.the insurance company for the bmw has closed the claim saying the fire was not intentional therefore they are not paying anything for my claim.my insurance company is paying for repairs to my car, however, i have to pay the deductible and cost of a rental car.after this happened i saw several news reports of bmw's bursting into flames after being turned off for a while.they said i was 0% at fault (obviously), but it does not seem fair that i have to pay anything for this incident.all i did was park my car; my car did not have any problems with it.i hope you will continue to investigate this problem.i feel several incidents are far too many for bmw to ignore.they certainly have more money than i do.i have photos, video, etc.
Last year on august 2012, my car stop running and i brought to one of the mechanic that towed and fixed my water pump.this year, i brought my car to toyota dealer for some recalls and find out that my antifreeze is entered to my water pump again and need to replace with new one... Total cost will be more than 650.00 dollars.i wonder if there any recall for this matter before or do i have to deal with the same problem every years!!! please investigate this problem.thanks
My trunk is leaking on the right side during heavy downpours. I went to get our fabric shopping bags from the trunk and they were soaked. The car is smelling musty, not great for my sinuses and asthma. Headlight seal is allowing moisture to enter or the plastic has become porous. During a recent inspection, the headlights did not pass. We paid the gas station $32 to clean and polish the headlights to pass inspection. They looked great afterwards and passed inspection. Then my husband took the car to the car wash. Now the headlight casing is clouded again. I can see the soap drippings from the carwash on the inside of the plastic. The car is parked on the street or in a driveway, since we don't have a garage. The vehicle was stationary.
The design of the headlights on the camry is awful. You cannot see the overhead signs on the highways at night without turning on the bright lights which will blind other oncoming cars. You cannot even see the street signs without turning on the bright lights. It's like the top of the lights are cut off. The dealer said the lights are correct; they checked the aim and said that is the way they are made. This car is unsafe to drive at night.
On july 18, 2014 while traveling out of town, i smelled a burning while driving on the interstate. Pull over at the next rest stop to look the car over and inotice the headlight cover had burned.on july 22, 2014, back in town, i took the car to toyota dealership and was informed that 51 previous bulb melted and discolored headlight housing.please note that the bulb was replaced at the dealership two months ago.i was also advised that no light is escaping from housing which may cause it to overheat over a period of time and estimate cost to replace housing - $499.75 (includes all labor and taxes).my concern is that this bulb meltedand cause a burn on the headlight cover, this is a defect and consumers should not be paying for a defective part that cost almost $500.00.this requires the complete housing to be replaced and not the cover nor does it repair the problem since this can happen again.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that when the ignition was turned to the on position, the vehicle failed to shift out of the park position without warning. The failure recurred numerous times.the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,500. Updated 6/25/15the stop light switch was replaced. Updated 01/27/16.
I own a 2009 toyota camry which i purchased new. I noticed that my headlights in the low beam function are very dim, to the point of being dangerously dim. The toyota dealer stated that the lens in the headlight housing has clouded due to uv damage and use. The light bulb itself functions perfectly fine, but the lens engineered to magnify the low-beam light is what is causing the decrease of visible light.i stated that i also own a 2003 toyota camry that has no problems with the headlights and itprovides enough light. The solution is to replace both light housings to the tune of $400.00 each. The service manager said this is a regular operating expense, like replacing the alternator.with labor, this expense will be closer to $1000.00 instead of changing two headlamps for $30.00 each.it seems to me that this technology doesn't work, and is dangerous. These headlights are still being used on new toyota models.
Paint is fading in areas, some areas looks like there is no paint color left at all.headlamps have had to be restored twice in less than 4 years.dashboard is sticky, small pieces/chunks are coming off, at times the sun shade sticks to the dashboard.
The brake and abs lights went on, the speedometer and odometer stopped working.i had the brakes replaced.the problem continued.i had the car diagnosed and the electrical has failed.i need to change the interior computer.cost $2,100.
Both headlights on my car on the dim lights the mirror that reflects light has fell down and covered the lens half way and my mechanic told me if i don't replace the whole headlight it could cover the whole light dim and bright lights if i put them on dim you can't see at all i almost wrecked.
Contact stop lamp switch in brake pedal assembly failed causing shift lever to become locked in "park" position and vehicle brake lights to become inoperative.appears to be an identical problem to nhtsa campaign # 12v091000.
Parked car in driveway two hours later my neighbor told me my lights were on. Light switch was off could not get lights to go off.called tow truck they could not get lights to turn off, so they pulled the fuses for the lights.three hours later the horn started blowing,,had to disconnect to get it to stop. Took into toyota dealer where i bought it, a year ago. They said they thought it was a after market alarm system that was installed previously to my ownership. They disconnected it,three weeks later same thing started happening, except this time the high beam headlights would not turn off. Take it back to toyota and now they say it is an internal electrical problem thatmay cause other problems if not fixed. Around $825.
Bumper to bumper traffic during rush hour; dodge truck w/trailer hitch stopped on a dime; i ran into back of truck; but then my car lunged forward on its own accord and i hit thetrucka second time.i had my foot on the brake and it lunged!car is in the shop but i still have not found out what the cost of damage will be or the time frame for repairs.it has lunged before; but i have not been in an accident before this because of the sudden acceleration.

I own a 2009 toyota camry, need i say more . Lets do something about this now.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. He stated that the accelerator pedal would slowly return to the idle position on several occasions. He contacted the manufacturer and was told that recall number 09v388000, vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal. He was told to take the vehicle in to be repaired, if parts were available. The dealer did not have the necessary parts in stock to make the recall repairs. Also, he stated that according to emissions standards, hisliter fuel tank should get 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway; however, he was only receiving 275-280 miles on a full tank. No repairs were made to date. The failure mileage was 11,864 and the current was 20,135.
Have had continuous problems since my 2009 camery xle gas pedal recall was supposedly fixed. I didn't have a single problem with it before the recall was done and am now afraid to drive the car. The gas pedal has been sticking and binding up intermittently for the past month since the recall has been "fixed". Toyota says there is nothing else they can do.
While passing a truck, step on gas to go into passing gear and the car went to full throttle.after the pass and letting off gas the car stayed at full throttle.turned off key and then restarted and car was still at full throttle.coasted to a stop, w/o steering or brakes, (no engine power).put car into park and then restarted.at that time it returned to normal operation.called dealer and was told they had not heard of this happening on a 2009 toyota camry(4 cyl).
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.the contact stated that the vehicle would burn fuel excessively and the contact was concerned of a possible engine failure.the dealer was contacted and advised that they would monitor the vehicle.the manufacturer was not coupdated 05/31/12*ljntacted.the vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 49,528.
This concerns the current toyota sudden acceleration problem and my interpretation of the mechanism that may be at work causing these intermittent events. These cars involved have toyota's new "fly-by-wire" ignition and throttle control system, not the old manual throttle controls. The acceleration events may be coming from stray rf or electro-static discharge (esd) causing an electrical state change in one of the throttle control chip registers which then causes the sudden acceleration.the problem could also be caused by the same rf or esd, but only affect electrical control units in cars that have developed bad ground paths (which allow static charge to build up until it arcs over and zaps a chip)testing for this type for electrical fault must be done under conditions that accelerate the failure mode, ie under conditions that enhance esd occurrence and/or stray rf while changing the resistance of the ground paths to the throttle control module.as a reference point, request toyota's history on all warranty replaced failed electrical modules involved in/with throttle control for these recalled cars.a hard esd event may cause complete module failure and hence a warranty record.a "soft" esd event may cause state changes on the module chips.a comparatively high module replacement rate would be cause to investigate them and do fema stripback analysis on failed warranty units.
After performing a gas pedal reoperation on a 2009 toyota camry there was a constant clicking noise and a feeling detent when pressing on the accelerator after a stop. The dealer agreed with the problem and replaced the gas pedal with a new one. The new pedal is a improvement but the clicking is still coming from, i believe, the spring inside the accelerator pedal housing. The dealer said he could not do anything more. I personally removed the pedal and filled the spring cavity full with very thick lubrication grease. The noise is now about 50%gone, sometimes for a day or two but still returns eventually when i slightly press on the pedal from a stop. The spring i think has too much room to move around or is not remaining seated. This is a very annoying nuisance problem hearing this clicking that did not exist when i had the old style gas pedal.
I purchased a 2009 toyota camry hybrid in may, 2009. For the first few months i got great gas mileage (around between 35-45 miles to the gallon) both in the city as well as on the highway. In the last couple months, the electric component to my engine has not been working like it has before and my gas mileage in the city is nearly half (about 21-23 miles to the gallon). At first, i chalked it up to a bad tank of gas, but months and several tanks of gas later, the problem still endures. The car should be harnessing electric energy when breaking and at stoplights. Instead, it is using an absurd amount of gas. Additionally, the electric engine will suddenly kick in when breaking suddenly giving the car a boost of acceleration while i am trying to stop the car. The whole reason i purchased a hybrid car was to reap the benefits of great gas mileage, but now i am getting far less than the regular camry model. I also feel that the sudden acceleration is a safety hazard. Given the series of recalls toyota has currently had, have you received any other complains from camry hybrid drivers?
Toyota camry2009 -4 cyl. Automatic.problem:sudden unintended acceleration..the car is 14 months old.approximately every 2 months as i come to a stop, and while my foot is on the brake pedal, the gas seems to accelerate and the tachometer goes up to 7.by continuing to brake hard and shifting into park from drive the acceleration stops.but not before the car has lurched forward by about 4 feet.so far i have been able to avoid an accident or a death.i cannot select any of the items on the next page, i will simply tick off the first item.
I have been the sole owner of this camry. Back in 2015 i took it to a dealership for service and brought up to the technician that the dashboard was sticky. At the time they said there was nothing i could do about it and replacing it would cost me a lot of money. Now 4 years later i find out that there was a warranty enhancement that covered the dashboard. My dashboard is now so sticky that it is glistening. I tried to use a sun visor hoping it would slow the rate of melting but then my sun visor would stick to the dashboard. I place a hat on the dashboard once for 10 minutes and when i removed it there was black residue.finally, i have a child now and when he gets into the car he has put his hands on the dashboard and gotten the black debris and chemicals on his hands and i am now concerned for his health and safety.there was also a warranty enhancement with the oil consumption. My spouse changes my oil for me and over the last several years commented that i was surprisingly very low on oil.i am wondering why i have not received any notice from toyota for either of these issues even though they claim notices were sent out.i have opened a case with toyota #1911082336. They tell me that i am out of the window for repair and it would now have to be out of pocket which is very frustrating considering i notified them of the dashboard issue before.

Excessive oil consumption recall:over the last year i noticed my oil consumption was drastically increasing.i started burning through oil and having to add a quart every 2 months and now monthly.in the past few months, a very large plume of white smoke would spew out of my tail pipes; not just a little but a large cloud of smoke.it has a very burnt smell to it too.the smoke dissipates after the car warms and as long as the car is warm, it will not smoke.it only smoke when the vehicle has been off for over 2-3 hours.i was told by a certified toyota mechanic that i need to replace the engine due to faulty internal parts.he stated it was the reason for such a high level of oil consumption.i discovered that toyota is currently recalling certain engine blocks due to oil consumption defects, however my vin number is not part of that recall as of now.according to toyota, my vin could eventually become part of the recall (oil consumption recall) but as of now, it is not.i don't understand how a major manufacturer will not stand by their product and repair my engine considering they are already recalling other engines with the exact same issues i am having with my camry.this was my first camry too.very disappointed with toyota.
2 complaints:1. When i depress the gas pedal. It sometimes get stuck where i have to press even harder and then the front wheels start spinning too rapidly. One time at a school cross walk, the pedal stuck, i pushed harder and finally the wheels engaged but the screeching it made, had the school crossing guard giving me a "dirty" look. 2. The camry is going through oil like you wouldn't believe. Within 5000 miles i have had to add more than 4 quarts of oil. It is ridiculous.
Moved to tx in 2012 and have not had any previous starting issues before moving. Attempted to start the vehicle during my lunch break, engine turned over but was unable to start. Attempted to start the car again and the engine cranked and started with a hard "jolt" as if the gear shift was out of position. Several days later the temperature was warmer and the same problem occurred. Scheduled a appointment with my local toyota dealership and was told all systems were normal and they could not determine the cause of the problem since they could not replicate starting issue. The starting issue occurs on relatively hot days, turning the key to "on" before starting does not help the problem, the second start attempt is usually a "hard" start such that it feels as if the engine is jerking. Toyota should investigate electrical/fuel/and air components to determine the cause of this starting problem, especially since the issues seems to be temperature related.
Oil consumtion and white smoke coming from carwhen starting and fumes going into house
Failed oil consumption test x 2.dealer stated i pay for any damage to engine, only piston rings covered.dealer stated i pay if they damage engine during repair/recall.
On numerous occasions when coming to a stop by car will shut off. The car when sitting has a rough idle (400-500 rpm) with all heat/ac etc turned off but can vary at times of an idle of 700-900rpm notably when a/c is on it drags the rpms down to 300-400 and will shudder at a stop. There's no codes on diagnostics, no noises or lack of routine maintenance.may be worth mentioning this vehicle "passed' the excessive oil consumption but i am still adding a qt of oil every 1200-1800 miles. A search of the web shows this to be a common issue but no resolution. Help?
After having car serviced for the 30,000 mile service, i noticed that the car wasn't holdin power.i took the car back to south bay toyota, they test drove it found nothing wrong. Still having the problem, the following monday, i took the car to the original toyota that i purchased it from to have them recheck it, they found nothing wrong, they said they test drove it also. As a result there was no charge. They told me to take it back to south bay toyota because they were not responsible for their work. At south bay, the technician hooked it up to the computerized monitor to check it; and there were no signals to indicatea problem in the car. I stopped at tony's auto shop also. He found nothing wrong- he test drove it. Finally, today, i took it over to another mechanic's shop and i rode with him as he test drove it; he discovered that it was the "throttle" and that i needed to take it back to the dealer and have them upgrade the software in the car or double check the throttle: that is where the pressure is being lost. When you press down on the gas pedal, the system is not recognizing the pressure.
Accelerator gets stuck open. I took my foot off the gas and the vehicle accelerated. It would rev at high speeds when i stepped on the brake. I tried downshifting with no effect. When i finally stopped at a stoplight with both feet on the brakes the engine revved up to very high rpms, even when i put the vehicle in park. Then it finally stalled out.
Bob tyler toyota sold me a 2009 toyota camry when they knew that the 2009 camrys had an oil consumption problem. I learned of a class action lawsuit that was filed against toyota regarding this problem. Toyota announced a program to extend warranty coverage to address customer complaints of excessive engine oil consumption on certain 2007-2009 camrys. Toyota was supposed to replace parts on the affected toyota camrys for vehicles exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption. Eligibility for part replacement under this warranty enhancement program is dependent on a toyota dealer engine oil consumption test in accordance with t-sb-0158-14(toyota) and s-sb-0031-14(scion). I took my toyota camry to bob tyler for routine maintenance/oil changes and other maintenance. I noticed that my toyota was burning a quart of oil every few hundred miles. I took my camry to bob tyler toyota and they did the oil consumption test and stated that my car narrowly passed so it did not qualify to be fixed. Since my camry has gotten worse. My camry only has 108,000 miles on it which is less than the cutoff mileage that toyota has set for oil consumption problems. I took my toyota back to bob tyler this year and was advised that my camry is over the age limit for the oil consumption problem. I met with bob tyler and advised him of the problem that i was having with my 2009 toyota camry. I advised that my camry has been burning oil and that the maintenance department never brought it to my attention before the age of my camry exceeded the warranty cutoff. Bob tyler said it was not his problem. Bob tyler toyota never made it clear when the cutoff age/mileage for a car to be covered started and ended. Bob tyler now refuses to do repairs on my camry and it is getting worse. Bob tyler knows that this oil problem is hazardous to the driver and passengers.i would like to have my camry repaired or receive refund in amount of repair cost so i can have it repaired at a different toyota dealership.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.while approaching a stop sign and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes would not engage. The vehicle continued to accelerate momentarily before decreasing speed. She has not taken the vehicle into the dealer for inspection nor had the manufacturer been contacted. She did receive an interim letter from the manufacturer advising her to remove the floor mats, stating that they could cause unintended acceleration in the vehicle. The vehicle was also hesitated when it was started on occasion and the interior lights flashed on intermittently. The failure and current mileages were approximately 19,926.

We have a 2009 camry that has intermittent issues in regard to the throttle linkage it has twice become stuck in the wide open position, we are very concerned about this issue and have been ignored by toyota personal, we feel there is a real problem with the linkage and or computerized linkage issues.
Several weeks ago, i had a couple of incidences, where my 2009 toyota camry gear lever would not shift from park to drive. After several attempts of turning on/off ignition, depressing brakes, and tugging lever, the gear would then shift from park to drive. On 08-01-2010, i went to the mall and spent several hours there. When i turned on the ignition, feet on the brakes, the shift lever would not budge. After 30-45 minutes of trying to shift the lever, i decided to call mall security to call for a tow. The security guard suggested that he should give it a try, "the lever shifted from park to drive".i was very concerned. In the previous incidences, it never took so long for the lever to shift.the incidences have occurred first thing in the morning; after work or after the car has been sitting for a number of hours. On 08-02-2010, i took the car to the dealership, first thing in the morning; i was there at 6:35am. After i explained the above, they inspected and test drove the car. The service person came back to me and informed me that something must have spilled on/in the gear box. I absolutely denied that assumption. He then stated that they would take apart the gear box. Again, he came back and stated that something sticky was found "on top" and gave me an estimate for replacing gear shaft. Again, i absolutely denied that anything fell on or in the gear box. And, why was i not summoned to look and this sticky residue. He then called the service manager, who attempted to explain that he could not justify replacing gear shaft under warranty because the problem is not being detected at the present time. And, there is about 7 or 8 reasons why the gear lever would not shift. However, they gave me a quote to replace gear shaft. I was able to speak to one of the technicians, without the manager being present, who stated that there was something definitely wrong with the gear shaft.
Last year on august 2012, my car stop running and i brought to one of the mechanic that towed and fixed my water pump.this year, i brought my car to toyota dealer for some recalls and find out that my antifreeze is entered to my water pump again and need to replace with new one... Total cost will be more than 650.00 dollars.i wonder if there any recall for this matter before or do i have to deal with the same problem every years!!! please investigate this problem.thanks
Vehicle was involved in an accident and after the initial contact operator tried to stop her vehicle but it wouldn't stop.she stated that she was pressing the brake but the vehicle was rolling backwards.she stated that she tried her brakes, tried pumping her brakes, tried putting the vehicle in neutral and tried the brakes again but none of these actions stopped her vehicle from rolling. She stated that she then put the vehicle in park and tried the brakes but the vehicle continued to roll backwards.she stated that at that point she made the decision to exit the vehicle.she was knocked to the ground and dragged by the vehicle suffering lacerations to both her legs.she stated that the vehicle then accelerated forward and finally came to rest on sidewalk and lawn of a residence.while responding medical personnel were treating the accident victim, a member of the fire department reached in vehicle to turn the vehicle off.the vehicle then started rolling forward even though vehicle was turned off and in park.
The contact owns 2009 toyota camry. The contact was attempting to accelerate but the vehicle exhibited a 10-15 second delay before it would respond. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable determine a failure. The contact then took the vehicle to a second dealer who was also unable to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance. The contact took the vehicle to a private mechanic and was told that the failure was with the actual accelerator. The vehicle was not repaired.

On december 3, 2017, my husband was parking our 2009 camry on a city street when we experienced the terrifying unintended acceleration problem that has plagued this model ' and was supposed to have been fixed by the floor mat and accelerator pedal recalls. As my husband shifted into drive to move slightly forward in the parking space, there was a low roaring, racing motor-type sound from the gear box/transmission area and the car suddenly accelerated. Braking could not stop the car and it drove into the car ahead of us. Because we were moving at low speed there was no significant damage to either car. But there was permanent damage to our trust in the safety and reliability of our 2009 camry, which we vowed never to drive again.our occasional prior experiences with the car's racing motor problems had never caused us to lose control. For example, a few years ago we had racing engine problem when braking for a light after coming off a high speed interstate. On both december 2 and december 3, 2017, we had a racing motor experience during parking when we were in reverse but it did not cause any loss of control of the vehicle. In each of these instances we were able to use the brakes to stop the car. The tow truck driver who took the car away was able to drive the car half a block to his truck without experiencing the unintended acceleration problem.

My toyota camry car got water pump leak issue and it overheated my engine and it needed engine replacement. I am out of warranty period.it has 36k miles on it and 5 year 6months old. Toyota dealer asking me to replace the engine, water pump, and other misc parts.i have not received any recall notice. Is my vin number missed in recall. Am i ripped off because of toyota issue.
I have a 2009 toyota camry. On my way home from work around 10:00 pm on 1/25/10. My car shut off while i was driving. I was driving on a two lane road. While pressing on the accelerator and passing a semi truck. As i pulled back into my lane my car just shut off. The check engine and battery light came on. I pulled the car over to the side of the road.and would not start. When i would start the car and put into drive the car would turn off. Then i waited for about 20 minutes. And tired again and it worked just fine and the check engine light turned off. Next day i took it to the dealer and they advised my there might have been some debris in my gas. I always fill up super. I am filling this complaint because i found out today that they are investigating the electrical throttle control on some toyota's and thought this might be helpful. Thank you
I have a 2009 toyota camry se with 53,000 miles on it. There was a noise coming from the engine during driving . Upon inspection i found out that there was nocoolant in the reservoir.i also found that there was pink powder residue on the engine near the serpentine beltwhere the water pump is located . Did some research on the internet and found out many other people with the cars built from 2007-2009 camrys had the same issue under warranty. Some cars had 10,000 miles or less with the problem. Also found out toyota replaced the water pumps on these camrys with awaterpump built from a different company. I filled the reservoir with coolant and took it to toyota and they said indeed the water pump was leaking. They would not cover the costs under warranty since it had expired.there would be no coolant leakingunder the car.during many of the oil changes the toyota technicians would add coolant and top it off and never mentioned anything about the water pump leaking . I only found out because i saw the coolant reservoir was empty and started looking for a leak. I believe toyota knew these water pumps were defective , and only changed it for people who complained about the problems under warranty with a differentmanufacturer of the water pump free of charge . Engines without coolant can get hot and catch fire. Please look into this issue of defective water pumps.
Bought 09 camry new. In 2015, @ 130,000 miles, the "low oil" warning light came on. Took it to the dealer to do the oil consumption test, (they overfilled the engine with oil). When came back in 1200 miles was told the car is burning oil but not enough for toyota to cover the repair (since they overfilled the engine with oil) the car continued to consume more oil. Now at 170,000 miles, the car burns around 2 qrts of oil every 1000. Very disappointing.
Engine coolant level dropped to bottom of reservoir. Dealer replaced the leaking water pump. Work was done under warranty.
Water pump fail on 79800.start make crank noise and then antifreeze star spill all over.
I bought a 2009 toyota camry le in september 2008.i was still driving my old car until i sold it in march 2009.when i started driving the new car more, i noticed that occasionally the car would hesitate and it seemed like it was in neutral for a couple of seconds when i let go of the accelerator and step on it again.this happens maybe several times a month.since i got stuck in the intersection for a couple of seconds, that really scared me.people were waiting for me to cross the intersection, but my car wouldn't go.i can see someone rear-ending my car in the future because of this problem.the car also gets stuck in the middle of the road when i slow down and then step on the accelerator.i googled the problem and found that many, many people have the same problem.use the words "2009 camry" and "transmission problem" if you want to google it.people complain that the transmission slips.i believe that is what my car is doing.i brought my car to the dealer to have them fix the problem yesterday.they had my car all day for that and a 5,000-mile service.i was so disappointed when i got my car back and they said that the transmission was normal.they test drove it and didn't get that problem.i am really concerned about this because my car is under warranty and i complained about the problem and the dealer said that it is normal.there is something wrong with that!i think that is a dangerous car and the dealer is denying that the car has this problem.i feel like they do not honor their warranty.the consumers are being ripped off.i also complained about my vent button releasing every three minutes on cold, rainy days.they also could not duplicate the problem.so, i am still stuck with that problem and nothing has been fixed under warranty.please investigate and have toyota recall the cars with transmission problems.new cars should not be like that.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While the vehicle was idling or when the gear shifter was in reverse or drive, the vehicle would vibrate violently. The failure occurred numerous times. In addition, the air compression failed to function. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an oil pressure consumption test was performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,852.
I was driving my car down the road about 2 miles away from my house it became hard to accelerate. The skid light, vsc light and check engine light all came on at once. I pulled over to the side of the road. I turned the car off started it back up it drove fine but the lights were still on. I contacted the dealership and took the car in. This was purchased as a dealer demo and has 36,000 miles on it. They told me there is water in my engine and the oil was milky. To me this sounded like a head gasket but they assured me they ran a test for that. They replaced the throttle body and the pcv valve claiming the valve was not working properly this was the cause for the water. I don't know if the part is still around or not. I hope this fixes the problem. They told me i should warm it up for 15 to 20 minutes a day which sounds a little weird to me being a fairly new car.
Transmission hesitates when accelerating from slowing down or stopping and when initially putting into reverse
2009 toyota camry. Consumer writes regarding vehicle stalling in the acceleration process *tgwthe dealer stated the stall in the acceleration, was caused by the sequencing of the transmission.the stall would occur as the consumer made a rapid change from deceleration to acceleration.the consumer was informed the stall was a built in design feature.the consumer stated to minimize the stall, she must manually down shift the transmission whenever the engine is in the deceleration phase. Recently, a slow moving 18 wheeler unexpectedly pulled into the consumers lane of traffic, while traveling at highway speeds. The consumer stated her natural reaction was to remove her foot from the accelerator, putting the engine /transmission into deceleration mode. As the situation unfolded, she concluded that the rapid acceleration and lane change was the safest method. When the consumer tried to accelerate around the truck, there was no reaction from the vehicle. The transmission delayed responding and when it did respond, it chose a gear which produced no meaningful forward motion, but lots of noise. Consequently, she was forced to brake very hard, but the brakes failed to perform as designed.the next day, the dealer explained there was a factory alert issue on the brake pads. The pads were replaced, and the rotors were turned.

I own a 2009 toyota camry hybrid. There was no indication prior to this accident to any problem with my vehicle. On the day of accident, i was about to pull into a parking space at a local hospital parking lot. Half-way into the parking space, with my foot on the brake, the car unexpectedly accelerated on it's own. The car jumped a 6" curb and 9' island causing vehicle damage. All the while my foot was on the brake. The incident was reported to toyota and the they had an engineer inspect the vehicle. Their conclusion was there was no problem with the brakes. The problem was (is) unexplained acceleration - not the brakes. I believe toyota doesn't want to acknowledge there is an acceleration problem with my 2009 toyota camry hybrid.
Cnn is giving bad advice on toyota gas pedal problemi disagree with the advice provided by omar panjshiri, a certified toyota technician at the chantilly repair center in chantilly, virginia.according to the report, he stated that: "if the pedal is stuck in a depressed position, here is what the driver can do: (i) shift the transmission to neutral; (ii) turn off the ignition switch; and (iii) apply the brakes and pull over."mr. Panjshiri explained that with the engine cut off, "you will lose some power steering assist, but you will still be able to steer the vehicle to a safe stopping position."this is very bad advice.the transmission should not be shifted to neutral.if the pedal is stuck in a depressed position, the driver should turn off the ignition switch and apply the brakes.the driver should not shift the transmission into neutral.the transmission keeps the engine going, helping to slow down the car, and it keeps the power steering assist working.a few years ago the gas pedal return spring broke on my car while i was driving.i immediately turned off the ignition switch and applied the brakes.this response should be taught in driving classes.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph downhill with the cruise control activated, the transmission failed to shift as the engine rpms increased abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 18,000 and the current mileage was 28,000.
This 2009 camry which is still under warranty is equipped with traction control with no switch to disable it during icy conditions.the car is operated in colorado where snow packed and icy roads are common.when these conditions exist and the car is stopped on a slight incline or at a stop sign or traffic light on an incline, the power to the front wheels is automatically shut down because the wheels are spinning on the ice and the traction control shuts the power down to them to the point they will not turn.at this point, the car will not move unless you back it up and take a run at the hill.this is dangerous for 2 reasons: 1.if there is a car behind you, you cannot back up which creates a traffic jam and requires cars go around you which can be a hazard. 2.when you get the opportunity to take a run at the hill, you cannot stop otherwise the car will stall which means you must enter into a street without stopping which is dangerous and in many cases illegal.the dealership advised that it is impossible to install a switch, and that i should express my concerns to the toyota experience line.this situation is a catastrophe waiting to happen and needs immediate attention.also, the 2012 camry has a switch to disable the traction control in icy conditions.in the interest of safety the switchmust be retrofitted to older models.
15,000 miles after having the water pump replaced, it was leaking again and dealer replaced it under warranty. Why no recall on this part? i'm now on my third one at 36k miles!
Purchased a used camry 3 months agoand find out front axels need to be replaced. While driving and stopping here a fast ticking sound.
While driving, on braking, the vehicle started making a grinding/rubbing noise appearing to come from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The noise seemed as if the vehicle engine/motor was going to seize up or something would break inside.slowly took it to a local tire kingdom repair shop who would not do anything once they started the vehicle and were alarmed by the engine noise. Advised to take it to an engine repair shop. Slowly, cautiously drove home and parked. On starting the vehicle in the garage, next day, the engine seems to run fine on parked and neutral. On shifting to drive or reverse the rubbing/grinding noise begins again. Have been restrained to sitting at home instead of doing my ride sharing and delivery work. Recently had the timing chain and cam shaft gear replaced.
2009 toyota camry - excessive acceleration and abrupt change in transmission when cruise control tries to catch up with the set speed limit after a dip in speed- toyota tech saw the problem, accepts that its happening - toyota's response "get used to it".
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. After starting the engine and shifting into the drive gear, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and surged forward. After depressing the brake pedal and stopping, the vehicle would no longer drive forward or in reverse. After the incident, the check engine indicator remained illuminated. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
2009 toyota camry.consumer states delay of at least two seconds in acceleration after pressing the accelerator pedal.*tgwthe consumer stated the delay was primarily caused by a failure of the transmission to downshift. The consumer noticed that when he accelerated rapidly, the vehicle simply would not accelerate as a car normally would by depressing the gas pedal. The engine would speed up and it would take at least two seconds or more for the transmission to finally respond and downshift.
On wednesday, 2/16/11, at 4:50 p.m. I was traveling down sudbury street in boston, ma to make a right hand turn onto congress street in boston.i came down the hill and stopped at a red traffic light.my car, for no apparent reason, began to race and would not stop.i applied more pressure to the brake and shifted the car into park.it continued to race for 5-10 seconds after i did this.this was a very frightening incident, given there was a stopped vehicle in front of me, a vehicle behind me and many pedestrians at that hour.i no longer feel secure with the car and am anticipating that this may re-occur at any time. Updated 1/13/2012 *ln
With the media coverage of toyota problems, i saw a woman interviewed who complained of "sudden acceleration" with her toyota while braking. I recognized that it is something i have experienced frequently with our 2009 camry xle v6 w. 6 speed auto trans. It is not a "sudden acceleration" problem, but a sudden free-wheeling problem, most noticeable when driving on level or downhill roads. As you brake to come to a stop, the auto trans. Downshifts into a lower gear, but it doesn't do it fast enough, so it momentarily goes through neutral creating a momentary free-wheeling situation that does accelerate the car just as you are wanting to come to a stop. It is particularly disconcerting when braking into an intersection while going down hill. I called the toyota customer care number on 5/21/09 to report it, hoping there might have been a software upgrade. They said it was not normal and created case # 0905126552 and told me to take the car to my dealer, which i did on 06/01/09. The dealer reset the automatic transmission computer, but that did not correct the problem. I later reported it again to toyota on a 07/22/09 customer survey. We have been living with it, but are careful when braking into an intersection.
Bought an 2009 toyota camry in april, 2009. The engine would run rough and the it felt like the transmission would jerk and did downshift at random. I bought it in for service several times and was told that because my wife and i both drive the car the computer on board was adjusting back and forth to our driving habits. I didn't think it was a safety problem until the recall was announced. Now i look back on my complaints and feel their is something wrong with the electronic or software associated with controlling engine or transmission performance. I have related this to venice camry in venice florida who have told me their is nothing wrong with my car.
I own a 2009 camry...one that has been recalled and will be addressed through my local toyota dealer.however, on three or four separate occasions, as i was backing out from a parking space and/or my garage,as i applied my brakes, there would be a simultaneous acceleration.i do not believe it is related to thecurrent acceleration/floor mat issue nor my stepping on the brake and accelerator at the same time but i just wanted to bring this to your attention in the event that others have experienced the same concern.thanks.

Vehicle holding gear after acceleration, downshifting when brake is touched, rough shifting, general unpredictability of transmission performance.
I have camry 2009.it currently has 34400 miles.according to toyota dealer - after a technician tests drive the vehicle - the issue is described "downshift issue under heavy brake".below is details of the problem.after i apply brake at stop sign or traffic light, the vehicle is stopped but then vehicle is still jumping up - moving up just right after it stops.below is how toyota responds on the issue.on august 5th, 2011, i bring the car to toyota dealer.the technician is able to duplicate the issue and open a case number reporting to gst (gulf state toyota).i have to wait for an appointment with gst and toyota dealer until 8/30/2011.on august 31st, i brought the car in 2nd time so that the dealer can collect more information and send to gst (according to the dealer).the dealer told me they could not duplicate the issue last time.but they will need to re-program (software) on the computer system so that the computer system can re-learn the shifting pattern of the transmission.here is my opinions.i am not convinced at all this will re-solve the issue.the issue might appear again any time.here are some more facts.during the waiting time - 3 weeks - i do not drive the vehicle at all.the dealer certainly does not drive the vehicle long enough before they can see the issue again.when i drive the vehicle to the dealer on the 2nd time, i see it happens twice.this kind of issue absolutely makes me very nervous when i have to apply braking.i hope toyota can root cause this issue as soon as possible.who knows this issue can be worst and totally out of controls one day.
Several weeks ago, i had a couple of incidences, where my 2009 toyota camry gear lever would not shift from park to drive. After several attempts of turning on/off ignition, depressing brakes, and tugging lever, the gear would then shift from park to drive. On 08-01-2010, i went to the mall and spent several hours there. When i turned on the ignition, feet on the brakes, the shift lever would not budge. After 30-45 minutes of trying to shift the lever, i decided to call mall security to call for a tow. The security guard suggested that he should give it a try, "the lever shifted from park to drive".i was very concerned. In the previous incidences, it never took so long for the lever to shift.the incidences have occurred first thing in the morning; after work or after the car has been sitting for a number of hours. On 08-02-2010, i took the car to the dealership, first thing in the morning; i was there at 6:35am. After i explained the above, they inspected and test drove the car. The service person came back to me and informed me that something must have spilled on/in the gear box. I absolutely denied that assumption. He then stated that they would take apart the gear box. Again, he came back and stated that something sticky was found "on top" and gave me an estimate for replacing gear shaft. Again, i absolutely denied that anything fell on or in the gear box. And, why was i not summoned to look and this sticky residue. He then called the service manager, who attempted to explain that he could not justify replacing gear shaft under warranty because the problem is not being detected at the present time. And, there is about 7 or 8 reasons why the gear lever would not shift. However, they gave me a quote to replace gear shaft. I was able to speak to one of the technicians, without the manager being present, who stated that there was something definitely wrong with the gear shaft.

Toyota camry 2009 is downshifting when brake is tapped, holding gear after acceleration and experiencing harsh shifting.shift cellenoid replaced but did not alter malfunction of vehicle.problem reported at 1005 miles on odometer september 20, 2008.after repeated trips to dealer the problem has not been resolved.
(2009 toyota camry) my vehicle lurched forward causing near collision with other vehicle during normal stop and go. Problem occurs periodically, according to local toyota dealer's not enough to cause concern. Vehicle remains in same condition. This issue is not related to the sticking acceleration pedal issue.
Vehicle hesitate during acceleration. Vehicle surges/accelerates slightly when not pressing pedal to accelerate. Tire pressure light always comes on even when tires are properly inflated.vehicle runs "hard" when cruising at 40mph. There is a hard engine running sound.
While passing a truck, step on gas to go into passing gear and the car went to full throttle.after the pass and letting off gas the car stayed at full throttle.turned off key and then restarted and car was still at full throttle.coasted to a stop, w/o steering or brakes, (no engine power).put car into park and then restarted.at that time it returned to normal operation.called dealer and was told they had not heard of this happening on a 2009 toyota camry(4 cyl).
This is 2009 toyota camry. I was getting out of parking garage. As soon as i put my gear to "d" and pressed the gas pedala little bit, it started to speed up and the gas pad got stuck. I didn't have much room to stop the car and the car hit the pillar in front of me.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving various speeds the vehicle would hesitate when trying to accelerate to higher speeds. Approximately one week later the vehicle just completely stalled. No warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed the contact that she needed to replace the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 11,400.
On december 31, 2008, i purchased a new 2009 toyota camry se from marietta toyota.the car has a persistent hesitation problem which makes the car unsafe in many situations.i had an incident around february 20, 2010 where the hesitation problem almost caused an accident.i was pulling into traffic on south cobb drive from a grocery store parking lot.traffic flow demanded that i merge into traffic briskly without delay - something i expect to be able to do with a $30,000 v6 toyota camry.i gave the car gas and it hesitated horribly.the engine died down then finally went with such force that the car vibrated violently as the front wheels spun out.the car would not go.as traffic approached i was scared and really appreciative of the drivers who slowed down.i have brought the car to the dealership and reported the problem three times.the first time i was told that this is the way the car works and that i would get used to it.after driving the car for over a year and just over 20,000 miles, i am absolutely not 'used' to it.the second time i brought the car to the service department at marietta toyota they did something to the computer software.this did nothing to improve the car's performance.on my third visit i spoke with a representative in the service department.he was very polite and honest.representative told me that in his opinion (he stated many times making sure that i understood that this was his opinion) toyota made a mistake in how they designed the transmission and computer software.representative explained to me that toyota tried to make the transmission stay in the highest gear possible at all times to save gas and that when the accelerator was pressed the computer took a few moments to determine which gear it should downshift to.he said that he had many people (40 to 50 per week) complain about the same thing i was complaining about.he said he thought it was a definite problem with the car and that there was nothing that could be done.
When attempting to park, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and i was forced to stop it by running into a palm tree in order to avoid hitting people and other cars or causing more serious damage.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact parked the vehicle in the residence garage. The engine remained running with the gear shifter placed in the park position. Immediately after the driver exit the vehicle, there was an unintended surge of acceleration. The vehicle crashed into the trash cans and garden cart that were in the garage. The vehicle engine was turned off. There were minor damages to the front bumper and front driver side door. The vehicle was taken to a collision center for the body damage estimate. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 9,000.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry which was purchased in 2008. He statedthatwithin 5,000 miles of purchasing the vehicle, both the left and right front axles failed and were replaced under warranty. While driving 70 mph, the engine revved and the vehicle began to accelerate. The vehicle accelerated over 118 mph for approximately 3 miles while the contact was depressing the brake pedal in an attempt to stop the acceleration. The vehicle did not slow down. He then forced the vehicle into neutral and the vehicle began to coast until finally coming to a stop. The dealer was contacted and they advised him not to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact had not yet heard from toyota, to date. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 26,000.

2009 toyota camry.consumer writes in regards to transmission problems.the consumer stated shortly after purchasing the vehicle, shedetected a slight challenge as she shifted the gears. The vehicle was serviced and the problem seemed to have disappeared. Unfortunately, subsequent inspections and maintenance service did not resolve the issue. During her drive on june 1, 2013, the clutch pedal became sluggish and did not immediately return to its original position upon release and within seconds, it stayed stuck to the floor. The vehicle was towed to the dealer.although, she was not charged, the service included an adjustment to the clutch pedal and a test drive. Additionally, it was suggested she return the vehicle for further evaluation if the issue became problematic.the problem with the clutch and eventually the stick resurfaced several hours after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer. The consumer returned to the dealer, where they replaced the accumulator assembly, hose, tube and clutch release.
A couple of months ago when i tried to raise the shoulder height of the driver side seat belt, i had to use excessive thumb pressure to push on the elliptical button to unlock the adjuster and raise it. During this process i heard something snap inside the plastic enclosure and the vertical height button cannot be depressed, hence the mechanism is locked in place and cannot be moved in either the up or down direction. Note, that the seat belt recoil and tensioner work fine. When i showed the dealership service evaluator the height adjuster problem, he commented on a one quarter of an inch (.250') groove in the plastic retainer housing and mentioned that he never saw how this could happen. The service evaluator ran his own carfax and verified that the record was clean. But he could not approve a factory warranty replacement because of the groove in the plastic housing. I think it is possible for the edge of the seat belt to wear into the plastic housing depending on the shoulder height of the person with the seat pulled up. A second opinion from the service director,did not agree with me that the groove in the plastic could have been made by the way the drivers wore the seat if it was never adjusted from it's lowest height setting. He said that if it were not for the .250 groove he would gladly fix the problem, but if he sent in the part for a claim in its current condition the manufacturer would reject it. I'm a bit surprised at this, as i would think toyota interior design engineering or the sub tier vendor would, at the least, like to know what the fleet problems are and make their own engineering assessment on the root cause of the failure. I can understand toyota trying to minimize warranty returns and i am disappointed in the decision and feel that this type of damage should be reported for documentation and reliability purposes.
The seat belt (front driver's side)will not engage when the temperature rises inside the caar.it will engage early in the morning, but not later during the day.toyota refused to give the name of the manufacturer for the seat belts.i have researched the problem with the toyota camry and there seems to be a consistant problem with these seat belts in the front especially on the driver's side.i was told to make an appointment with the dealer (which i did) and have it checked, but i do not think they are willing to accept any responsibility for the problem.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the drivers side seatbelt failed to work. The contact indicated that the drivers side seatbelt did not retract or extend and due to the failure the contact was not able to use the seatbelt. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who adjusted the seatbelt as an interim fix and recommended that the seatbelt be replaced. The vehicle was to be further inspected by an authorized dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,473.
Ignore the seat belts above i had to put a date and something to get this to go through. I am just complaining about my dashboard being so sticky that when lay something on it and lift it up it pulls part of the dashboard up with it. I am also complainingabout the headlights. They are so yellow and i can get it fixed for around $100. Are they just trying to make money to fix these things. I have had three toyotas and never ever had these problems. Toyota won't do a recall for these. I won't buy anymore of them.
The camry was taking a speed humps and was hit from behind by an f-150 grand ranch truck. The camry passenger seat belt never hold the occupant in position. She flew over the dashboard and hit it with her face. The seat belt never retain her in position, so i'm making a complaint to investigate this.thank you
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry.while driving 25-60 mph, the driver's side seat belt moved upward and made the contact uncomfortable.as a result, she drove without the seat belt attached.the contact could be seriously injured in the event of a crash.in addition, the contact is experiencing difficulty seeing other vehicle's in her blind spots.she can see while parking, but has to open the door to do so.the lumbar support in the driver's seat causes discomfort to the contact's lower back.she is distracted by the pain while driving.she received a letter from the doctor to get another vehicle due to the pain and discomfort.the failure mileage was unknown.

My 3 yr old son was in a booster seat in the middle of back seat.he was strapped in with seatbelt.when seatbelt was released, the seatbelt went behind his back.i did not notice.it was somehow wrapped around his waist like a noose.when i tried to lift him through it, i couldn't get him out.he was literally suspended several inches off the seat it was so tight.the seatbelt would not loosen.it was only getting tighter and tighter.it eventually got so tight it was cutting into his waist.i took his pants and underwear off to try make more room; to no avail.it was excruciatingly painful for him. He was screaming and crying.the seatbelt would not loosen.we did not know what to do.this happened on a sunday.dealers were closed.we had to cut the seatbelt with an exacto knife.scissors would not cut it.this problem did occur several times in the past, but i was able to lift him out.this time it was so tight i could not get him out.my concern is that if this happened on a highway or in a remote area, i would not have an exacto knife. This could have resulted in his death.the dealer said all seatbelts retract if fully extended.this seatbelt was not fully extended.this must be a defect.my husband is an engineer and could not loosen!dealer refuses to fix or acknowledge there is a problem.i do not know what to do.
My car has excessive oil consumption. I had to put a quart of oil in after driving 150 miles! also one of the seat belts in the back does not have any give, its tight, snaps back too quickly.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry le. The contact was driving 75 mph when the driver lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle rolled on its side and proceeded to roll six times. The air bags failed to deploy and the rear seat belts were destroyed during the crash. Three passengers were seriously injured, including one passenger who was ejected from the vehicle due to the seat belt failure. The police were contacted and a police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop but not repaired. The vehicle was destroyed.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure and the current mileages were 39,000.
While driving in the rain at approximately 35 mph hydroplaned on an highway exit ramp that was a sharp loop/curve.the car hit head on the end of the guardrail which had a square plate.the entire front end and hood of the camry was smashed and the air bags never deployed.i was wearing my seat belt which somewhat restrained me but hit my head on the steering wheel and suffered a concussion.
1. 2009 toyota camry se made a clunk noise from the back passenger side area of rear seat. Got out to see if it was something like a tire. Ended up opening the back door of car to find that it was the seatbelt. There was a knot in the belt and it had retracted forcefully into the opening of the seatbelt slot.the belt will not pull back out, and cannot be untied due to the pulling of the retractor.2. It has never happened before, we do not use the back seat, so the knot had to have been there since the dealer last june.3. I was told by the dealership i purchased the camry at that they couldn't help me. I took it to another toyota dealer hoping that the response would be different. It wasn't. The second dealer told me that i was out of luck, and it could be fixed for 300 dollars. I see this as a problem. If this would happen to someone with a child in the backseat and the child was injured, it would be a different story. Until then i would like to report my problem as written above.

When my wife would get in the passenger seat of our camry and get belted in for a minute or so before i got in and started the car, the seat belt off light would illuminate.this has happened several times and does not seem to happen if i start the car before she belts in.this was reported to eddy's toyota and they recalibrated the seat sensors but the problem did not go away.
Driver seat stops functioning up and down. Took it to roseville toyota and they didn't repair and told us it is functioning now. Called several times and no one cares. Now the camry has 46,000 miles they just told me it is out of warranty. Also toyota customer service refused it and told me it is out of warranty. Manager dominic campanelli and jessica romero were very aggressive when i called and didn't provide customer service.updated 01/05/13*lj
The operation of the side seat airbags on the toyota camry are compromised due to the fact that the integrity of the seat cushion has a design flaw that causes the cushion to collapses around the airbag. Which would change the angle of the airbag and cause it not to deploy properly.

When accelerating from a stop the seat goes back and clicks in. When coming to a stop the seat slides forward. The action is repeated constantly. Ibrought the vehicle in and the dealer told me it was a worn track. They said it would cause $2054. To repair and charged me $65.16.
I purchased this vehicle from longo toyota and have been driving it for a week and have had backaches and headaches.the seat and headrest are extremely uncomfortable. This is a toyota camry le 2009.
The abs and brake warning lights illuminate, temperature gauge, gear gauge and speedometer not working.this happens intermittently and, when it does, the ac does not work.the problem began with the abs and brake lights.over time, the other gauges and the ac became involved. When these warning lights go off and the gauges work, the ac also works. I am told the brake actuator needs to be replaced.
The brake and abs light are on, the speedometer and rpm meter goes to 0 when i was driving at 40 mph. It also happened when i was stopped in park.the a/c also don't work.the fault is intermittent.
Abs module is killing signals to dash to display.gauges are displaying zero during driving and mileage for odometer is not moving (affected gauges: speedometer, tachometer, temperature, gas, etc).after taking the car to a mechanic, the dealer quote for the price to replace the abs module was $1,800.the mechanic mentioned verbally that toyota had planned a recall but because there weren't enough complaints, no recall has been filed. Investigation into this matter would be highly appreciated.thank you. Ma 10/02 updated 10/30/2017
First to fail was the speedo after the abs and brake light came on. No actual brake problem but the lack of speedometer is unsafe. Abs unit essentially controls instrument cluster..not necessary or safe plus dealer repair part approx $1800.00.
Went to have brakes replacedsince they were squeeking and a few times i put on the brakes and it skipped and was told that all the struts were leaking and calipers were bad. Took for 2nd opinion and was told that was practically impossible and very rare. They looked at car and changed brakes and now in 2 months later my brakes are squeaking just as bad again.
During normal operation of a 2009 toyota camry le with 2.4l 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic transmission on the highway traveling approximately 60 mph, the speedometer suddenly dropped to 0 and the abs and brake lights on the dash board illuminated. The car did not cease normal operation and the brakes appeared to still function and the car was drivable as normal. The speedometer needle did not move and the abs and brake lights stayed illuminated for several minutes with no noticeable change in braking ability. Then, the speedometer suddenly jumped back to 60 mph and appears to operate properly. At the same time, the abs and brake lights on the dashboard turned off. There were no noticeable changes in the operation of the car.that the same night, the exact same symptoms returned 2 more times just as they had occurred before with no warning at all. During one episode, the lights illuminated during a complete stop and the speedometer was inactive after leaving the stop. Again, after a few minutes, the speedometer returned to correct operation and the abs and brake lights on the dash board turned off.
I have a toyota camry 2009. My car went through the recall services,toyotahad for the acceleration problems through one of their dealers. However, on 02/08/2013, i was involved in an accident, wherein i felt this problem myself. On a busy road i may have been driving between 35-40 mph, when all of a sudden, when i applied brakes, my car wouldn't stop but accelerated to maybe double the speed and hit the car in front of me. It appeared as if there are no brakes in the car.the impact was so severe, that i am still nervous and shaken up with the incident.the person driving the car i hit, thought i was speeding. But it definitely was the acceleration problem. This problem has not yet resolvedand could lead to many more accidents. I havereported this problem to toyota dealership and on their suggestion to the toyota customer experience team.i was extremely lucky, that there were nophysical injuries in the accident, but it could have been fatal.
Guages started going crazy and the abs warning light and brake light came on. After reviewing several comments off the internet i think that the abs module is faulty.
Odo meter malfunction, abs light,brake light on. Ac not working
Problem description:2009 toyota camry, brake light and abs turn on, rpm and speedometer stop working intermittently, and a/c also seems to work intermittently.it is the same issue shown here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtgabjrfdsit is dangerous because you have intermittent use of your dashboard sensors.the dealership wants to replace the entire abs hydraulic system for the cost of $3000.this seems to be a well documented problem.
At start up the gauges started to work intermittently, after a while driving down the road they start working fine after a few miles they start jumping and falling. Brake light and abs lights comes on and ac quits working we haven t drive the car since this started happening called the dealer and they told us to take to service, before that i will like to know if there's a recall for that. On the last service made by toyota dealer, they washed the engine, a practice that i am not agree, does that may be the cause? let me know, thanks
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that when driving approximately 45 mph and depressing the brakes, the vehicle would shake violently. The vehicle was not inspected by the dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 65,900. The current mileage was unknown.
Contact stop lamp switch in brake pedal assembly failed causing shift lever to become locked in "park" position and vehicle brake lights to become inoperative.appears to be an identical problem to nhtsa campaign # 12v091000.
After bringing the car to get brakes checked, we were informed that the struts needed to be replaced on the car.this car is only driven on paved roads, in a well maintained area.the car has slightly less than 48000 miles on it.struts should last much longer on a car when the driven in the environment we live in.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the abs and brake warning light illuminated and the instrument panel gauges fluctuated. The vehicle was restarted and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the brake actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,165.
On three occasions i press my brake to stop at a red light my car going 25mph or slower and my abs brakes kick in and i have to swerve so i wouldn't hit the car in front of me.
Check vsc system and check engine lights came on.pulled up to a stop sign going 25mph and had decreased brake function.had to push brake pedal very hard to get the car to stop.brakes functioned normally after that but lights are still on.
Sudden cluster failure of dashboard while driving, possible short in abs control system causes loss of odometer and speedometer, jumping needle for engine temperature and tachomteter, loss of gear indicator light.both check abs and brake lights are illuminated. Unplugging abs remedies engine, tachometer, and gear indicator. Still have no odometer, speedometer, and warning lights for brake and abs permanently illuminated.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the tachometer gauge was not displaying the correct reading levels, and the odometer dropped to zero. In addition, while driving at 65 mph, the abs and the brake warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,283.
When entering my garage, the car automatically accelerated crashing through the back wall of the garage. I applied the brake but they didn't appear to work as the car was accelerating too fast. The car finally came a stop in the backyard against a fence post that was in concrete.
I had picked up a passenger about 1 1/2 hours from my home. I was returning home & noticed that the gas pedal was accelerating even tho i was pressing the brake. I couldn't stop the car& a curvy road was ahead along with a cliff. My option was to go over the cliff or go into possible oncoming traffic to try to stop the vehicle. I opted to try to turn the car into a nearby driveway. Luckily no oncoming traffic was close enough to hit my car as i did this. The driveway was slanted & as i turned into the driveway i smacked into a snow bank which tore my front bumper off. Luckily there were no personal injuries. I reported this to toyota & my insurance ( at the time of the accident i had heard about a toyota recall having to do with gas pedal but it had been a while & i hadn't received notification of the recall affecting my vehicle). My personal car insurance covered the $3000 worth of damage to the bumper radiator, grill, etc. Over 4 years later & i stillhaven't recovered my deductible from toyota for a known defect in the pedal!had i been notified timely of the recall affecting my vehicle this could have been avoided! instead, i had to cover the cost to repair damage out of my pocket & i had whiplash for a few weeks caused by a known issue toyota knew of! i'm furious & disappointed that i chose a toyota!
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the brake pedal was engaged as the steering wheel began to vibrate violently. The failure recurred whenever the contact was driving 65 mph and above. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer five separate times where both front rotors were replaced. The technician informed the contact that the rotors were warped. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 13,371.

The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, extra effort was needed to depress the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. The contact stated that the abs and vsc warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, after entering the vehicle, there was a continuous chime heard with several unknown warning lights remaining illuminated while the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.
While driving at various speeds the speedometer goes to 0 even though the car is still performing and accelerating. The abs light comes on and the dealer said that the abs actuator needs to be replaced. It seems like this is a known issue especially with the hybrid model and should be recalled and repaired by toyota
While driving at 65 mph, the speedometer decreased to zero. In addition, the abs and parking warning lights illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the abs control module and the actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,737.
Vsc warning appeared on dashboard. Abs warning light and ps light is on too. I had the abs actuator replaced in february 2019 when the vsc warning first appeared. I am having the same issue plus the power steering warning light. Vehicle was parked at the store, when i returned to my car and turned car on, the lights started flashing and will not turn off.
I have a toyota camry (2009 around 84k miles on it) and yesterday i noticed, the abs light and brake lights came on and then the speed odometer stop working and did some research and noticed this is a common issue with this car. Found similar complaints on many sites ,there is a recall only for toyota camry hybrid models(https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/07/why-toyota-should-recall-the-camry-hybrid/index.htm) not for other models and this repair cost would go upto 2700 $ which is 10% of the car cost . Till now people used to think toyota is a reliable car but certainly this is not with these types of approach.
While driving, my brakes have gone out (as in i have no brakes) several times intermittently. At the same time my (abs, check vsc system) light illuminate and my brake light is always illuminated. I very carefully drove it home and was forced to purchase another vehicle until i can figure out what to fix.
While driving the vehicle failed to stop while the brakes were depressed. The failure occurred multiple times on dry, well paved roads. Brakes had to be depressed several times in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure. The failure was not corrected and the brakes continued to fail while attempting to stop the vehicle.
The vehicle's cluster would start going haywire - with the speedometer going to zero, the rpm fluctuating, and the temperature gauge reading cold, at random times while driving and in motion. The a/c would go out as well, and the brake and abs lights would come on. The car would still run but the cluster would flicker as described. After flickering for a while, it would resume as normal and then happen again as i continued driving. I had my camry inspected and it was diagnosed with a malfunctioning abs actuator assembly. I had another abs actuator put in, and thankfully no one was injured in the car due to the faulty brake system. It was unsafe to drive as the abs was malfunctioning.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced violent shaking after being operated at 50 mph. The abs warning indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that they saw smoke coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated upon inspection they saw red fluid leaking from the vehicle. The contact stated that they de-powered the vehicle and exited it immediately after seeing the flames. The vehicle was taken to the city world toyota dealer where it was diagnosed that the abs actuator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The dashboard abs and brake lights came on, speedometer dropped to zero, and the tachometer jumped while on the freeway.the first reaction when seeing the brake light on was to reach for the emergency brake release and on the vehicle the release is the step type.this release is the hood release and luckily the safety on the hood did not allow the hood to open.i've reported this to toyota when i got a recall for replacement of the dash if it cracked.they told me they hadn't heard this, and i told them to go to the internet as it was there and there were youtube videos showing this condition.
I turned on my toyota camry 2009 hybrid in the garage and was immediately met by numerous warning lights, an audible warning buzzer, and a message in the dash message center that read "check vsc."i was going to drive the car to a mechanic but discovered that when i backed out of the garage that there was no braking action.they had completely failed.the car was placed on a computer which provided error code c1256 and c1391.both codes indicate abs/vsc/trac malfunctions.i brought the vehicle to my local toyota dealer and supplied a computer print out of the error codes.the problem was diagnosed as an internal leak in the abs accumulator module resulting in a loss of hydraulic pressure to the brakes.cost of replacement with labor was quoted as $3,700.00.i did some research and discovered numerous complaints by other toyota owners with identical problem i encountered. I also discovered that toyota has redesigned the abs annunciator module.i contacted toyota corporate headquarters in california who denied any a problem with the part.if they are unaware of the problem, why did they redesign the part?this problem is extremely dangerous as in resulted in total brake failure.i was extremely lucky that my issue manifested itself while the car was parked and not at 70 mph on an interstate highway in heavy traffic.one website set up by someone who experienced this identical problem had thirty five entries in the guest book.everyone had the same problem.

Re 2009 toyota camry le with 62,100 miles; assembled in either georgetown ky, lafayette or indiana: the brake actuator assembly failed, resulting in the illumination of various warning lights and the "rpms started bouncing communication code u0073," according to the dealership.in a 2012 and 2013 recall for different toyota vehicles, the record about this same failure states "(a)n electrical component within the actuator may experience an increased resistance resulting in the illumination of various warning lights, including those for the vehicle stability control (vsc) system, antilock brake system (abs), and traction control system...[meaning] these systems could become inoperative, reducing the directional control assistance, increasing the risk of a crash."
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving 40 mph, the abs and brake warning indicators illuminated and the rpms constantly increased. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 184,293.
Car used mostly on highways, so brakes not used too much, slow down more using cruise control.07.25.2011, at 32,600 miles, right rear brakepads were completely gone and start grinding on disc. Three days before that this car was inspected for 30,000 miles and rear brakepads were at 4 mm. Service advisor said they didn't inspect the brakepads three days before because i did not bought the tire rotation, so they just "visually inspect" and fill the paper with numbers just to be filled.09.17.2011, at 34,400 miles, brakepads replaced again for noise after releasing the brake pedals which had also slightly vibration during releasing. This noise continue all the time after that, even after this brakepad replacement.10.10.2013, at 61,400 miles, same right rear brakepads were completely gone after visually inspection done during tire rotation and those brake pads were in good shape 2-3 months before. Service advisor tried to sell me many other thing instead to pay attention to my concern about camry's, and stated rear brakepads life is 30,000 miles, which i believe is not true.10.27.2013, at 62,000 miles, during the trip on mountain parkway road when i use car brake all the time, same right rear wheel begun to make continuous noise 10-15 second after releasing the brake pedal. The right rear wheel was hot, the other wheel have normal temperature.11.04.2013, at 62,900 went back to toyota service and they found the emergency brake (which they stated is combined with rear pedal brake system) cable too tight and adjusted.i believe i paid the brakepads twice and rotors once because they don't care about customers and want you back for more money, for their negligence, and because toyota car reliability is just a story.i read here more scary issue with rear brakes at high speed and i want people to know about this issue.
Toyota camry abs actuator/ecm failure.i have a 2009 camry that has been well maintained and had no known issues until last wed 2/7/18 when driving home from work all of sudden both the speedometer and tachometer went haywire and started jumping up and down from 0 to the max, then both the brake light and the abs lights came on and the temp gauge dropped to zero. I thought that the car was about to shut off but that didn't happen. My car was still driving, but none of the gauges registered that the car was in motion and the brake and abs lights remained on. Today is exactly a week from that initial warning and i am still having the same issue once the car has been in drive mode for more than 20 mins.i took the car to my local toyota dealer who has maintained the car since my purchase for diagnosis on 2/8/18 and was told at the time that the issue is the bad abs actuator and ecm and that both pieces are a part of the car's computer that sends the signal for the brakes to stop. I was also told at that time that there was a similar issue with the hybrid camry for the same year, and extended warranty was placed for the hybrid but not for my camry le. I was shocked because this is a road hazard and a issue with faulty parts installed in the first place. Now toyota is saying the repair is $2500. This should be included along with the hybrid under an extended warranty. I have found on internet searches that toyota has been aware of the issue since at 2010 but they have refused to offer repairs. This is definitely a safety hazard whereas the driver is never certain that the brakes will work or fail.i say that maybe this car should be under a full recall because i was also told that my engine is burning excessive oil, they tested it mid year 2017 and i was just told that my car failed the test and needs to have the repair done on that as well as the abs actuator.
While driving or when parked, all dashboard gauges (engine temp, speedometer, etc.) drop to 0. At the same time, the "brake" and the "abs" lights illuminate. The indicator for park/drive/reverse is no longer illuminated, and the outside temperature indicator flashes between "e" and the correct temperature. In addition, the a/c fails to cool, despite all lights/indicators on the console appearing normal (no flashing lights to indicate a malfunction.) all above issues will randomly occur - no obvious correlation to braking, acceleration, etc. At times, some of the gauges will normalize, while others remain at "0." in addition, some gauges will fluctuate sporadically, or "bounce" up/down - not indicating true engine temp or speed. The problems will all resolve at times, seemingly randomly, and then reoccur - just as randomly. I have found numerous videos on youtube which document this issue, and i have noted numerous complaints on this website describing the same problem. After several weeks (on 11/14/14), i took my car to the local dealership, describing the issues and suggesting the brake actuator had failed (as i had read from other owner complaints.) the local dealership stated that they had seen several other vehicles with similar issues, but was confused about the involvement of the a/c issue. (please note: i live in a city with a population of less than 250,000.) after several days of diagnostics, the local dealership contacted a toyota specialist in houston, tx, who confirmed that the brake actuator had failed. I paid $1932.23 for parts and labor (that's including a 10% discount) to have the issue repaired. My vehicle was with the dealership for 11 days before it was finally repaired. I am concerned that so many people seem to have had the same problem, and that a recall has not been issued for a condition affecting multiple safety features of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, he noticed a ticking noise while turning the steering. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated the brakes would have to be replaced. After the repair the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure was 132,000.
Abs brakes not properly stopping.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 50 mph, the abs and brake warning indicators illuminated; however, no brake failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to north hollywood toyota (4606 lankershim blvd, north hollywood, ca 91602, (800) 800-6730) where it was diagnosed that the abs module accurator failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired due to cost. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
I started to back out of the parking spot at the hotel i was staying to go out for dinner with my friends, i release the brakes and put the car in reverse. Then all of sudden the dash board lighted up then disappeared briefly when i put it in forward. As i was driving away from the hotel the lights on the dash board was lighted again. Then as i proceed to get on the freeway the dashboard lit up with warning check vsc system. (the hotel to the freeway ramp was a block away) i was driving in the right hand lane for several miles on the 580, because i noticed the brakes felt weird. The lights on the dash board remained lighted. The red indicator light for my brakes were on indicating the brakes were not released, but it was. At this point i was tensed and scared as i drove on the 580 freeway. I exited off the freeway slower than normal and i would press down on the brakes lightly and it would jerk and rock. It would bounce myself and friends in a rocking motion. We were all scared when i told them that i was not pressing on the brakes as it rocked. I was not playing with the brakes. My friend sitting in the front passenger side, confirmed to my friend sitting in the back i was not doing anything with the brakes as we rocked while driving or at the stop signs.i was driving cautiously on the streets due to i was afraid i might rear end someone. Every time i made the stop it would rock. So from the restaurant to the hotel i drove the streets and stayed off the freeway. The "check vsc "and indicators lights remained on the whole time. The following day, my husband drove out to get the car and drove it home for me. We took the back roads home to avoid freeway driving. As i drove behind him, i notice the brake lights stayed on most of the time.he too noticed the lights on the dash board remained on and the brakes were not working correctly.
We are having a problem with the brake actuator assembly on our toyota camry hybrid and it needs to be replaced.per this article, we found that there was a defect in the brake actuators that toyota had promised to cover: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/feds-close-probe-into-2007-11-toyota-camry-hybrid-for-power-braking-concerns.htmltoyota is refusing to cover the cost of replacing the brake actuator on our car, despite agreeing to condition with federal regulators.our car has been deemed unsafe to drive until this repair is made, leaving us in a precarious situation.
At speeds over above 60 mph the car pulls hard to the left.this was reported to the dealer. I had to replacethe rear brakes because the right rear brake froze and destroyed the rotor. I had a full brake inspection and was told that they were ok. One week later the front brake locked up on the passenger and went on fire.the dealer tells me the caliper froze. Now i have to replace all the pads and rotors on the front end. The is a serious and dangerous problem with this model camry. I have read endless reports of difficulty with controlling this car while braking at highway speeds. This is a braking issue not alignment.
The brake and abs lights came on. The speedometer and odometer fell to zero. Sometimes the odometer would jump up and down for a few seconds. The temperature gauge drops to zero. The engine sounds like it's about to turn off but does not. A/c does not give off cold air. Gear light indicator goes off or indicates drive gear no matter on what gear.
The abs light and the red bold brake light came on and then off and the next day the abs light and the brake warning light came on and the the speedometer went to zero, the tachometer went to zero when i was driving on the freeway, also the air conditioner would not work, after a few minutes the warning lights went off and everything worked for a few minutes and the same thing happened again.i drive the car immediately to the repair shop and then checked the owner's manual and read it's the abs system is malfunctioning for the car.
The car is difficult to steer in a straight line at higher speeds (above 50mph). The steering keeps pulling to the left even when the road is banked in the opposite direction. This has been present since new and currently car has 7000 miles. This was pointed out in the1000 mile service and wheel alignment was done by toyota dealership to rectify the issue. However, the problem does not seem to be related to wheel alignment and is present even after the alignment work. At 70mph, the car is difficult to keep in a straight line using both hands on the steering, and a constant corrective effort is required. This makes the car go in a slight zig zag within the lane and does not inspire confidence, and needless to say scares other travelers driving in their own lanes.another issue is very inconsistent braking. This is a camry hybrid and the point of shift between regenerative braking and friction braking is very inconsistent. The regenerative braking feels and to be slow down the car at a slower pace until friction braking comes up and immediately slows the car down. The net result is car does not slow down as it should initially but then doing so very quickly. This is very evident is slow moving traffic. Plus, my car seems to have a light screeching noise coming from right brake (not the usual brake noise). This happens only when car is cold, and when not braking. When braking it goes away. It has been present since new and toyota has not been able to replicate or correct it.
My 2009 toyota camry may have another issue with the brakes. I am not sure if it is related to the other recalls, because i sent an email to toyota on monday and have not yet heard back from them.when i press on the brake pedal, as i am coming to a stop, my brakes appear to stop working and the car will surge forward. This happens a lot (at least once a week) and i thought maybe it was just the toyota as this is the first toyota that i have owned.i think that toyota should have to buy-back these vehicles. My reasons for purchasing the toyota were, safety and resale value. My vehicle is no longer safe and has a highly decreased resale/trade-in value. So, much that i am not even able to trade it in for a safe vehicle.
There's a brake delay when i am driving at low speed. It occurs every time i drive at low speeds and try to make full stop at a stop sign, when i hit pot holes, i feel the brake sort of skid.
Driving west in a rental car on st. Charles rock rd. I changed lanes from the right westbound lane into the l-west lane after checking my mirrors. While i did that i got hit by unseen car (unfamiliar blind spot?) in the rear left, which changed car's heading towards the left (southwest), onto a trajectory crossing the eastbound lanes. I immediately and fully hit the brake pedal but the brakes didn't respond (pedal seemed stuck), and the car continued to move at speed (no acceleration) towards the restaurant on the south side of scrr.i tried to turn wheel to the left to avoid the curb, and perhaps pull a u-turn, but the wheel didn't budge either; all the while i kept pressure on the brake pedal, except for one or two pumping attempts to see if the brakes would kick in, but no noticeable change in pedal response or braking action ensued. The car stayed on the course it got onto by the preceding collision, crossed the eastbound lanes toward the restaurant, jumped the curb, went through a green strip of low (1-2') juniper bushes onto the paved restaurant grounds, and pushed a picnic table into a business sign before coming to a full stop against the building. There was no clear damage to the building itself.i do not recall having turned off the ignition at any time during this incident, either while driving or after i came to a stop. I recall having to restart the car to lower the driver's side door window, because the door itself was blocked by another picnic table. I do not recall anything odd with the ignition key when i restarted (like it was still in the on position). Based on the unresponsiveness of both brakes and steering wheel immediately after the collision, it's my impression that there may have been a glitch in the car's electrical/control system. Until this accident, the car handled normally; there was no apparent problem with brakes, steering or accelerator.
Brakes failed on vehicle causing rear end collision with other car. Car was damaged, almost totaled. Back, neck and rib injuries sustained. Brakes did not work, no skid marks.
My toyota camry hybrid has the exact same going over bumps and pothole problems that is being described for the prius, however, i have not been able to get it addressed.during braking, if the car goes over a non-smooth surface in the road, the car speeds up until all four wheels are on solid ground again, usually a short duration.this is scary and dangerous and i am lucky that i have been able to avoid an accident.this has been a continuous problem that the dealer didn't recognize when i have complained about it.i am entering yesterdays date in the incident date field since this happened to me again last evening.
I own a toyota camry hybrid, 2009.i am also experiencing the same brake failure problems that the toyota 2010 prius is being recalled for.i noticed that when braking on down sloped roads, slippery roads, or bumpy roads, the car seems to accelerate while braking.this occurs for 1-2 seconds.it is a very scary feeling.last week i narrowly avoided hitting 2 cars during a minor snow fall because while making a slow turn or braking the car again accelerated and the braking system failed momentarily.i verbally asked the dealer that i purchased the car from, and my neighborhood dealer 2 weeks ago while making a scheduled 15k mile service visit about the problem, but they weren't aware of it and suggested that it could be the hybrid system kicking in.a few days later i heard of the prius recall and was shocked when i read the reasons behind it.i am now scheduled for a service visit tomorrow at toyota.at my last service visit they said the brakes were in good condition, but i think this is an electrical problem.please investigate the camry hybrids as well.this problems is reproducible and occurs every time that i am on a bumpy road and brake or on a slippery surface and brake.*tw
When attempting to brake i have occasionally had my vehicle accelerate instead of stopping. This is extremely frightening and i no longer feel safe in my vehicle, especially in light of recent news reports documenting wide spread defects for my particular model. Even when the car does not accelerate while i attempt to brake, there is a delay in the response of the braking system which is a danger in itself. My natural reflex when this happens is to step on the brake peddle with more force and more frequency which, i believe, causes excessive wear and tear on the braking system. Braking/engine problem with 2009 toyota camry.
I have purchase 2009 toyota camry le on august 7, 2009. But my wifewas driving when it was involved in an accident on november 18, 2009 due to either the gas pedal stuck or the brakes didn't work properly, that caused a crash to the other car rear. We have taken to don mcgill toyota of katy for repair that cost me $3,850.00 for that damage on the front end. The questions is does my car have same problem that toyota has recalled?
I have had a 2009 camry hybrid since july 2009 and have noticed- what i would refer to as "power surges while braking (sometimes almost lurching forward uncontrollably - i almost rear ended cars in front of me in traffic a few times - especially on bumpy roads" i thought it was due to the capturing of too much energy from the regenerative braking system so that it charges the battery while braking.only once i heard people on the radio describing the prius braking problem did i realize it sounds exactly the same!why haven't we heard anything about this for the camry hybrids?i never owned a hybrid previously and although i am unhappy with the braking, i thought it was normal for a hybrid and i just needed to get used to it.i only recently commented on a survey, that toyota sent to me, about it - as i thought it was normal for the hybrid.i have not yet contacted the dealer.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While drivingapproximately 30 to 40 mph, the contact stated that a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of him. He applied the brakes but the vehicle did not slow down fast enough causing him to crash into the vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was at the dealer but had not been repaired when thecomplaint was filed. The current and failure mileages were approximately 15,000.

On two occasions with the same scenario within a year...the car would begin to shake and pulsate when putting on the brakes.then would add within a few days would abruptly lunge forward at an increased speed when braking, posing a safety hazard. By then when applying the brakes it would begin to grind and scrap the rotors. The auto repairman examined the vehicle, and said there was not a problem with the brakes but with the rotors needed replaced. He found that the brakes would get stuck which would scrap the rotors due to bad calipers.i have within a year replaced 2 sets of brake pads and rotors.
When attempting to park, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and i was forced to stop it by running into a palm tree in order to avoid hitting people and other cars or causing more serious damage.
2009 toyota camry. Consumer writes regarding vehicle stalling in the acceleration process *tgwthe dealer stated the stall in the acceleration, was caused by the sequencing of the transmission.the stall would occur as the consumer made a rapid change from deceleration to acceleration.the consumer was informed the stall was a built in design feature.the consumer stated to minimize the stall, she must manually down shift the transmission whenever the engine is in the deceleration phase. Recently, a slow moving 18 wheeler unexpectedly pulled into the consumers lane of traffic, while traveling at highway speeds. The consumer stated her natural reaction was to remove her foot from the accelerator, putting the engine /transmission into deceleration mode. As the situation unfolded, she concluded that the rapid acceleration and lane change was the safest method. When the consumer tried to accelerate around the truck, there was no reaction from the vehicle. The transmission delayed responding and when it did respond, it chose a gear which produced no meaningful forward motion, but lots of noise. Consequently, she was forced to brake very hard, but the brakes failed to perform as designed.the next day, the dealer explained there was a factory alert issue on the brake pads. The pads were replaced, and the rotors were turned.
I have a 2009 toyota camry that i purchased from darcars in silver spring, md., at the end of 2008. It is subject to the gas pedal recall and the floor mat recall, but i also have a separate problem. My brakes failed while i was driving to daycare/work on january 27th and i still do not know why. I was driving in downtown washington, d.c., and my brakes did not work when i tried to stop for a red light on 14th street. I managed to avoid smashing into the car in front of me only because i was able to swerve into the oncoming lane, which luckily had no traffic. My car traveled roughly another half block before i was finally able to stop on the side of the road. It was quite scary, in part because i had my one-year-old and my three-year-old in the car with me when it happened. I left work early that day and took the car up to the dealer where i bought it, but they couldn't find anything wrong. At this point, though, i am scared to drive the car - especially with my kids - and i am thinking of selling it as soon as possible. I assume this is unrelated to any of the recent recalls affecting the camry.*tw

I live in the chicago area and recently purchased a 2009 toyota camry se with 35k miles on it in nov 2009.in late december i was driving home from work - it was rainy and about 30 degrees outside and the roads were a bit slippery.the car in front of me (far ahead) applied its brakes to make a left turn.i went to apply my brakes to slow down and the car would not stop!i did not feel the brakes apply and slow my vehicle.i pushed down on the brake harder and it did nothing.it was not until i lifted my foot off the brake and reapplied it that the car started to slow.luckily i was not too close to the car in front.the next day, i went to the my local mechanic and paid him to look at my brakes to make sure they were safe.he did not see anything wrong with the pads or rotors.yesterday the same thing happened.the weather was a mix of rain and ice and about 20 degrees.i am not afraid to buy my new car and feel something needs to be done to address this issue.i have read in forums where similar occurrences have happened to camry owners as well.please help!
Toyota camry 2009. A few times, the brakes were not responsive. Accelerator is sometimes slow to come to idle position, which caused unintended acceleration and trouble braking.
Brakes pull excessively when road cant is sloped.
Vehicle was involved in an accident and after the initial contact operator tried to stop her vehicle but it wouldn't stop.she stated that she was pressing the brake but the vehicle was rolling backwards.she stated that she tried her brakes, tried pumping her brakes, tried putting the vehicle in neutral and tried the brakes again but none of these actions stopped her vehicle from rolling. She stated that she then put the vehicle in park and tried the brakes but the vehicle continued to roll backwards.she stated that at that point she made the decision to exit the vehicle.she was knocked to the ground and dragged by the vehicle suffering lacerations to both her legs.she stated that the vehicle then accelerated forward and finally came to rest on sidewalk and lawn of a residence.while responding medical personnel were treating the accident victim, a member of the fire department reached in vehicle to turn the vehicle off.the vehicle then started rolling forward even though vehicle was turned off and in park.

Very soft brakes in 2009 toyota camry. Brakes must be pumped to get any real braking action.at times brake pedal will continue to go down when brakes are pressed with no additional braking action. Toyota claims brakes to be in spec and working properly, the brakes are functioning as designed.i have had this problem since i got the car, new. And, have felt very unsafe, as i never knew when the brakes would effectively slow the vehicle.even when pushing hard, as in a panic stop, my legs are only so long.toyota changed a valve twice, but are now saying that this was not necessary, the brakes are fine.i have tried to replicate a brake test done by the toyota tech service rep, but cannot. The test was to press the brake pedal and rev the car up to red line.

I have experienced the same "2010 toyota prius braking issue" on my 2009 toyota camry. The toyota prius braking issue is described as the following: "momentary loss of braking capability while traveling over uneven road surfaces, potholes or bumps." this is exactly what happened to me in my 2009 toyota camry just a few hours ago. After rolling over a series of bumps at about 45 mph i tried to apply the brake in my 2009 camry and the pedal was very slow to respond and the physical brake pedal itself exhibited great resistance in my effort to press it down into use.this problem occurs only after having traveled over bumps or potholes, etc. The reason i am filing this complaint is that i feel that the "prius braking issue" is not limited to only the prius model that has been reported on in the new over the past 24 hours.

My car, toyota camry 2009, had a same problem with that sudden acceleration back in 2008. The car was, of course, brand new, and i had that same experience - all of sudden acceleration. It was after i was finished the all duties for the day, and i was head to my home. When i just drove on the highway, the rpm went up so quickly and suddenly, and even i stepped on the brakes several times. But the rpm had never been go down and stop. So i made the decision to make the transmission shift to neutral, and it worked at that time. At that time, i was in like country side in fort gordon, georgia, and now i'm in south korea to perform the duty here. At that time of that incident, i thought it could happen maybe one time.. Very one time.. However, when i read the current newspaper article.. I feel very terrible about this.. Because now my wife and my 3year old son ride in toyota camry.. (that's the only one car in our household).. What if there would be a same happening to my wife and my son.. I was o.k. Because the highway i drove on was almost no traffic.. As i mentioned earlier, i lived in country side ft. Gordon, georgia.. But after i got the duty station in south korea, i relocated my family back to los angeles county, california.. (that's where i came from) i know my wife once told me.. She felt little bit more acceleration when she drove toward down slope.. She had to do the samething, put the transmission shift to the neutral.. What if this kind of incident would be happened in a heavy traffic.. Man.. I wish that i would have a total solution for this.. I know that i can't return the car, right?

I have a 2009 camry. And i found it is takes a very long time to stop the car even if you push the brake to the full position. I also own a 1999 camry, which does not have the problem. I even had a accident with the 09 camry when i was reaching the traffic light on around 35mph i begin push the brake when i saw the light turned into yellow. However, the car could not stop in time, and i pump into the car in front of me. I took the car to the dealer and they told me the brake works fine so far and they did not have a recall so far.
On december 4, 2011, with my wife and returning from a visit to our children, i was driving our 2009 camry east from brooklyn in the left lane about a mile onto the jackie robinson parkway at about 4:30 p.m., visibility very good and road dry.traffic was heavy but moving about 35-40 m.p.h.when it slowed a little in front of me i put on the brake-- but the car speeded up.i repeated the braking and the car speeded up even more.these two attempted braking occurred in about 5 seconds.i saw we would crash into the car ahead. I tried to steer mainly into the space between that car and the one in the right lane so as to minimize damage to them, but the car in front of me went a little faster.our car, having hit the right-lanecar in its left rear,went past that car andinto the opened-up space and the shoulder, and into an about three-plus-foot concrete retaining wall, hitting it at an angle with the right front of our car, which mounted the wall on our right-hand wheels and came to a stop there.air bags had not deployed but tensioned seatbelts hit us hard in the chests. We managed to get my door open and get out.the car was totaled, with about 12,000 miles on it, always carefully maintained.i would add that when toyota recalled the car in 2010 i brought it in for the adjustments and was interested to learn from the mechanic at the dealership that the adjustments would take awhile because they required modifications to the car's computer.also, i as well as my wife have been driving, each of us for nearly 50 years, with exemplary records, and neither of us has ever pressed the gas pedal when we meant to step on the brakes. We are writing to you in the hope that still other toyota customers will not have to suffer the upset that we still feel, or of course worse. (i sent this to you via pdf earlier today.)
I purchased a 2009 camry hybrid this past summer and within a month, noticed problems with occasional braking and acceleration issues.i originally thought that perhaps this was the hybrid technology, but at times i have experienced some near misses and have been very concerned with the recent reports of lost life.i filed a complaint on the toyota.com website on february 9th, 2010 and have received no response since then.i am disappointed that the camry hybrid was not included with the latest prius recall and feel that toyota needs to investigate what i believe to be a software/electronics issue.i have been in software development and sales for the past 15 years and have never been in a car accident since receiving my license.but since purchasing this car, my first toyota, i do not feel as safe as i have in my gm's and ford's over the years.what i am experiencing is a forward lurch when braking from 50 mph to a quick stop/traffic light and the gas engine is engaged.when brake is applied, the car slows, then there is a quick revving of the engine, then an upshift prior to a downshift when the electronics/battery takes over. This has caused some near misses from a rear end collision, as the car appears to stop, but then lurches forward. I have also experienced this forward lurch, when accelerating at higher speeds (30-50 mph)from a stop light, as if there is a delay between the electronics to the gas engine. This has caused the car to accelerate rapidly on occasion, causing me to brake to slow it down.please have this software defect looked into, as i believe this recent recall should include the camry hybrids as well and as soon as possible.

I was having extreme vibration on my 2009 toyota camry when driving over 65 mph on some state interstate.this happened most noticeably when reaching speeds of over 60 mph, and the tires were literally skipping off the road when breaking and you would lose control of the vehicle, which could lead to a crash causing a death. This is on a 2009 toyota camry. This was taken into the dealership several times, and it was finally addressed. I called toyota and they said they did not have a tsb on my situation. They lied.3. I took the car to the toyota dealership and they found due to defect in materials used by toyota motor corporation, that there was premature warpage on the brake rotors. Also the dealership realized toyota put out a tsb -0169-9 on june 4 2009. Yet when i called toyota customer care and specifically asked if there was a tsb for brake rotors the customer service rep. Said no.but this was not presented to me until after my car went over 36k miles. My car has 37.7k miles. Yet i took my car in at 35k miles, and this was not fixed under warranty. Toyota customer care refused to even address my problem, and told me there were no tsb bulletins out on this and i spoke to [xxx] at toyota customer care, and even when i called in august they told my there were not tsb bulletins. Toyota has a serious issues with their brake pads and rotors that can cause the tires to leave the road when braking. I have also called toyota over a year ago about this and they denied that there was anything wrong. Now i have to pay for the repairs because toyota failed to notify me and my dealer.this should be a recall investigation as this can lead to a serious accident and even cause death.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The steering mechanism is making a clicking or rubbing noise upon turning corners. Started about a month ago and has gotten progressively worse. Toyota dealership states that my entire steering shaft needs to be replaced at my cost. This car has not been driven that much and i feel the steering should not be a problem on such a new car.
Steering wheel started vibrating on reaching the speed of 60 mph. It was more prominent while driving straight while it was not as much while negotiating the bends. However, no vibration was felt at slower speeds. I have got both front and rear rotors and break pads changed recently, all wheels have been balanced and alignment done. I wonder if the manufacturer would take care to identify the cause and recommend remedy.
I have always service the vehicle which is in great conditions and all of sudden i start notice a clicking noise in the toyota camry steering (example backing out of the parking lot and turns. I believe this may be a product defective for camry intermediate steering shaft. There many people having the same symptoms.the mechanic said it is just like a rubber band type thing in the steering column stretched out and would not effect anything but if i wanted it fixed it would be 400.00.i didn't have the money at the time.one of my coworkers was borrowing the car the other day and pointed that out to me said it probably was a ball joint or strut or something wrong with steering.i had gotten use to this sound turning.now i am worried.i bought this used and don't know what is wrong.i don't think i should be responsible for this fix when it only had 26k miles on it.

We own a 2009 camry.as has been reported regarding the toyota corolla, our camry also has a problem of drifting at high to medium speeds.the driver must be constantly alert to this problem to ensure the vehicle remains in its lane.our toyota dealer acknowledged the problem but said it was a tire problem, not related to our car's steering system.we purchased new tires but the problem remains. We believe the steering problem reported on the corolla also exists inour camry and that this unsafe situation should be carefully investigated.
As noted by other safety recalls for toyota that did not include the 2009 camrysomething malfunctioned in my steering wheel and the airbag is no longer functioning as well as the buttons on the steering wheel or cruise controli believe this is the same issue other vehicles made by toyota have had safety recalls for and do not believe it to be an odd coincidence that i would then have that same issue.i am hoping that others report this so that the camry can be added to that recall.
When i was drivingat night, i started to feel a lot of heat in my right hand, the heat came from the radio and the a/c controls stop working and the radio too, the radio turn blank but keep playing the a/c controls keep turning on and off by them selves. Since then my radio goes blank, on and offand the dealer wont do nothing about it, i have check with different camry's owners and i have found out that they havethe same problem.i also have problems with my brakes???? when i step on the brakes my steering wheel starts shaking like if the rotors were bad, i took the car to my mechanic only to find out that a idle arm is bad ,and he as well as other camry's owners tell me that there are a lot problems with those arms.my car is stock, i haven't done any modifications.the other problem that i have is that i took the car for new tires and i saw rust inside all my rims, i live in california so there no snow or i do not live to close to the beach, and i do not know what to do, i told the dealer and they say nothing they can do. My visors keep falling off and they come of their base.
Knocking noise in the steering wheel that amplifies over time, car is a toyota camry se v6 2009 in great condition, feel now unsafe to drive as noise increases when turning wheellocal toyota dealer say intermediate shaft has to be replaced , asking $ 575seems to me more as a defective part, but dealer says full cost of replacement has to be charged.
There has been common issue going with toyota steering intermediate shaft getting loosed at unknown number of miles. Some cars getting it less than 36k ( which is under warranty ) some over 36k and customer ends up paying any where between $450-$900 depending upon what kind of model they are driving. I drive 2009 camry its been maintained according to toyota recommendation. Recently, steering started making clunk, knocking sound which is loud. Toyota dealer also agreed that sound is very loud. Its a safety issue. It can cause damage or never know break the steering.looks like toyota has been ignoring this issue and not recalling vehicles. Obviously cost saving would be the only reason.
Since last year i am hearing a clicking sound, while turning steering and a glitch when pushing brake to stop.this looks like a similar issue for which prius were recalled.too me its looks like a manufacture defect but toyota dealership denies if this is consider to be recall or manufacturer defect.

At speeds over above 60 mph the car pulls hard to the left.this was reported to the dealer. I had to replacethe rear brakes because the right rear brake froze and destroyed the rotor. I had a full brake inspection and was told that they were ok. One week later the front brake locked up on the passenger and went on fire.the dealer tells me the caliper froze. Now i have to replace all the pads and rotors on the front end. The is a serious and dangerous problem with this model camry. I have read endless reports of difficulty with controlling this car while braking at highway speeds. This is a braking issue not alignment.

Sunvisor on passenger side loosend and then broke off.the panel on air bag on passenger side started coming apart, and lastly a loud clunking sound as i turned steering wheel.
The car is difficult to steer in a straight line at higher speeds (above 50mph). The steering keeps pulling to the left even when the road is banked in the opposite direction. This has been present since new and currently car has 7000 miles. This was pointed out in the1000 mile service and wheel alignment was done by toyota dealership to rectify the issue. However, the problem does not seem to be related to wheel alignment and is present even after the alignment work. At 70mph, the car is difficult to keep in a straight line using both hands on the steering, and a constant corrective effort is required. This makes the car go in a slight zig zag within the lane and does not inspire confidence, and needless to say scares other travelers driving in their own lanes.another issue is very inconsistent braking. This is a camry hybrid and the point of shift between regenerative braking and friction braking is very inconsistent. The regenerative braking feels and to be slow down the car at a slower pace until friction braking comes up and immediately slows the car down. The net result is car does not slow down as it should initially but then doing so very quickly. This is very evident is slow moving traffic. Plus, my car seems to have a light screeching noise coming from right brake (not the usual brake noise). This happens only when car is cold, and when not braking. When braking it goes away. It has been present since new and toyota has not been able to replicate or correct it.

Yesterday, june 14, 2010 at approximately 6:30 p.m. I pulled in my driveway and shut the engine off.i gathered my purse and a couple of packages out of the car, shut the door and realized i had not closed the drivers side window up all the way. I got back in the car, put my key in and the key would not turn.i struggled with it quite a while thinking maybe it was the key.pulled the key out and examined it and found nothing wrong.i left the door ajar, so this time i closed the door thinking maybe this was a safety feature and again the key would not turned.it took me wrestling with the steering back and forth from side to side several times before the steering wheel unlocked to power up to shut the window. It was very frustrating and concerned me hoping it would never happen while the car was in motion with everything else going on with toyota's and felt it needed to be reported and looked into.

This is the third time i actually almost had an accident with my wheel pulling away from now i am getting real afraid of driving my car. I will bring it in to the dealership in the morning to address this issue one more time. I hope you guys can help before something tragic happen because looking online i see alot of people have the same problem with toyota vehicles that's how i found out how to contact you all.

The vehicle was in motion when the steering wheel locked suddenly. It hit a sidewall on the right and careened to the left and finally came to a stop when it hit another vehicle. At this point, the steering wheel was still locked despite the fact that the engine was running and it was still in drive
This model of car has a manufacturer's defect in the pistons that is well documented in various resources, causing the engine to rapidly burn oil. See the following link for discussion: http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/camry/2009/engine/excessive_oil_consumption.shtmlthe car is now burning up to a quart of oil per 1000 miles and toyota is claiming this is normal.
I was taking my father to the doctor in a town 2 hours away.i stopped to pick him up (car was shut off and i went inside to get him) and when we got into the car, it would not start and the "key indicator" light was on.i checked the nissan manual which informed me the car would need to be taken to the dealer.i had my car towed the next day and taken to a local nissan mechanic.i also did research regarding the icon light and found that thousands of 2009 nissans had experience the same problem.my mechanic called with the news that the electronic steering column lock needed replacing at a charge of 910.00.this is certainly an issue that nissan needs to consider as a recall.our mechanic had 2 more calls with the same issue after we brought our car in last week.i hope nissan will do the right thing and issue a recall immediately and reimburse all those who have replaced this part.

Melting dashboard.
My dash board is sticky and melted looking. The glare it causes makes it very difficult to see. If i don't wear sunshades i cant see. I called toyota to make a complaint and they said they can't do anything because it is out of warranty. Also my passenger side window will only work occasionally.

Dashboard sticky, melting.
Sticky dash.i have not had an accident due to this problem.i noticed the sticky dash shortly afterpurchasing the vehicle, but as i had not been notified of a recall, did not report it until my last oil change.the service manager at that time, reported the sticky dash to toyota.i called this week regarding the matter and was told by the service manager that toyota would replace the dash, but the labor of $251.00 was my responsibility.i told the manager that i did not feel that the labor or any cost should be my responsibility, as it was a defect in the product and not anything that i had created.my car is parked in the garage at least 96% of the time.having said that, i do feel that if it had been parked outside for most of the time, the problem would be much worse and over time it will most likely get worse.i watched the report on channel 5 last evening regarding this matter and hopeful that something will be done.thank you
Approx. A year and a half after purchasing 2009 camry ( new ) noticed dashboard becoming tacky / sticky practically at point of melting. Was told by dealer there's nothing they could do. After seeing report on news 7/29/14, i now am happy to see that we aren't they only consumers having this problem.

I absolutely adore my car, but i too have a melting dashboard.i spent about $60 for a dash cover and that wont even stay on the dash because in the florida heat, it still melts.my dash has marks in it now from it melting and if i ever decide to sell, even with the low mileage, it will take away the value of my car which is in excellent shape.
The dashboard is sticky and produces a bright glare onto the windshield, making it very difficult to look through. I have tried to clean it thinking it was gunk or build up, but it doesn't not do any good or changes anything to the material. It continues to be very sticky. This is not only a hazard, but also very unaesthetic. This is very dangerous.

I live in louisiana and it's very humid and hot. Last year my dashboard attracted much dust and dirt.when i among others tried cleaning it, nothing would actually remove or clean the surface.it is very sticky and it looks unsightly and it's very embarrassing.each time i had my car detailed, it was difficult to accept from the detailer as to why my dash was never clean and the products they used didn't cause the surface texture.up until i began hearing complaints from nissan owners regarding this problem, i realized i had the same problem but with my toyota camry. Please do something about this problem, i love my camry and don't want to part with it.

My dashboard is melting causing a glare from the sun.
About six months ago i noticed that the dashboard on my toyota looked very shiny and felt very sticky.as the months went on i noticed that when the car was left in the sun the dashboard became extremely sticky, and when touched, the melted material stuck to my fingers.the dashboard is literally melting.,it is difficult to drive in the daylight inthe bright sun, as the shine from the dashboard forms a glare on the windshield.this makes it difficult to read signs or see the traffic lights.i live in florida where it is hot and sunny most of the time.i feel that this is a safety hazard.
I too have the sticky dashboard issue with my camry. I try to clean it but it just collects more stuff. It is super sticky and causes an extreme glare. I contacted toyota and they said i am responsible for this. I have a few friends who have the same problem. I like my camry but due to this issue i am pretty positive i will look elsewhere for my next vehicle.
For a couple of years my dashboard has been oily and sticky when it is exposed to the sun. I live in florida, where it is always hot. When i am driving in the daytime, there is a glare that the dashboard give to the windshield. It is so sticky and glossy that one time i put a sun visor in the windshield to protect the dashboard and the sunvisor stuck to the dashboard due to the stickiness. The glare to the windshield from the shiny, oily dashboard is a hazard and should be fixed asap before an vehicle accident occurs.
I went to dealership and have requested my dashboard be replaced as it is melting.i continue to check back but they will not replace.it's melting so bad this it is a safety issue.hopefully, they will replace so as to avoid a future suit.

I learned that there's already thousands of camry owners have the same melting dashboard issue. Please have toyota explain and take responsibility of their defective product.
2009 toyota camry - incidents happened before current acceleration hoopla.twice to my wife, twice to me.when quickly applying brake , foot touches gas pedal and car accelerates.never on any other car, including a 2005 camry has this happened.i believe that the relation of both pedals to each other is too close.also the design of both does not help.i drive autos, not design them,but i think this is more of a concern than floor mats.thanks for your consideration.

My vehicle has a sticky melted dashboard that needs to be replaced. This complaint is to support the recall of this dashboard. I contacted the local toyota dealer and they said the dashboard was approximately $1400 that i am not willing to pay. I still owe my vehicle and should not have this sticky- mirror almost-melting dashboard. Excellent vehicle but disappointed on this part of it.

The dashboard of my toyota camry 2009 has become very sticky. I have tried to clean it but cannot remove whatever is making it sticky. This became noticeable about 5 months ago. While searching the internet for a product to clean the dashboard, i have only found multiple complaints concerning dashboard sticky and melting problems from other toyota camry owners. I reside in florida, which is one of the states with the majority of complaints are coming from. Some owners report that the dashboard is causing extreme glare coming from their sticky dashboard making visibility an issue. During the summer months i use a windshield cover in my car and have had all of the windows tinted to cut down on the heat in the car.
The dashboard is sticky like it is melting.the sticky stuff on the dashboard creates a glare when the sun hits it at certain angles.also, the dashboard has cracked and i am concerned this will affect the functioning of the air bags.
The vinyl dashboard surface is sticky and, in areas close to the windshield, the surface has melted to a shiny, glary look. I cannot wipe it with a cloth because it sticks to the surface. Pressing lightly the surface with my fingernail leaves a deep permanent mark as the surface has no elasticity. Even light impact, such as from normal use of a sun reflective windshield shade, leaves marks on the surface. The edges of the dashboard are chipping easily.

At about 60 thousand miles i noticed the dash board of my wife's 2009 camry begin to be very sticky and appeared to be melting.i went online and purchased a carpeted dash cover for it to no avail.the material remained sticky and extremely soft to the touch.also, it gives a glare from the glass when driving.we continues to live with this issue until i heard of others who were experiencing the same problems.i took the vehicle to my local dealer (gettel toyota, bradenton, fl) where we purchased the vehicle and they offered to recover the dash with a synthetic leather material for the cost of $500.00.i said to the service manager that i did not think it was fair that i had to pay for what in this case was clearly defective material.the dash is not a "wear and tear" item. At that time he rescinded his offer to repair my vehicle for the price quoted and i decided to make this clain in an effort to get the vehicle repaired.

Melting dashboard
The dash is very soft and cracking. It is very shining and gives off a glare which makes it difficult to see. No commercial products have been used on it. The dealer in bradenton fl says they don't know what is wrong with it and i could replace it for about 2200.00 dollars as it is not under warranty. While searching the web for a solution i came across many others who have this problem. My husbands 2006 tacoma does not have this issue, in addition, the newer models all redesigned dashes.toyota needs to stand behind their product and replace the dash. It takes away from the resale value.
The vehicle has a rattling noise under the hood that no one can figure out the problem. Took it to the toyota dealer and completed the work that they said i had to do but the rattling noise still continues. I also took it to a certified mechanic who cannot figure out the problem either.

Dashboard is "melting".
The dashboard is really sticky and has gather debris from my sunshade. There are also some cracks forming. I went to the dealership where i bought it from and was told the same thing. That it's out of warranty (since it's 5 years old and 42k miles) and i can't really do anything about it. If i wanted them to look at it, i would have to pay $115 for a diagnostic test. The guy who helped me even looked for any recalls but found none. So now i just have to deal with it. I can see it becoming a really big safety issue because it reflects onto the window area of the driver's seat.? some people's dashboards are worse than mine because of the sun. I feel like a couple years down the road, i will be unable to drive because it is so reflective during the daylight.this has been a very common problem, but toyota has done nothing to fix it.

My dash is melting it is sticky and shine that makes it hard to see during the day. This is nasty and unsafe.
Dash started to get sticky and whatever i tried to clean it with would end up sticking to it. Over time this has gotten much worse. Today , if you put your finger into the dash it will create an indentation and stay that way.i have been on the internet about this issue and a lot of toyota owners seem to be having the same problem. It is time for me to purchase a new vehicle and im not sure if i should get another toyota or go to a different vehicle. I have tried to sell my car out right and every dealer is taking at least $2000.00 off of what the car is worth. Why has this problem not been recalled? it is obviously a manufacturers issue and should be repaired or replaced by toyota. Im hoping that you will be able to help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

The dashboard to my 2009 toyota camry is sticky and it looks very shiny in the sun.
I noticed my dashboard starting to melt in early 2012. At first, i couldn't figure out what the problem was or how to fix it, and later realized it was melting from the heat. I can't use a windshield mat to block out the sun because it sticks to the dashboard and leaves marks. There is no way to clean the dashboard and if you touch it, it creates permanent dents and/or marks. It's sticky and gives off a bad smell. It causes a glare and makes it difficult to see out the front windshield.
I noticed my dashboard was sticky. When i tried to clean it chunks of dashboard came off. Does toyota cover repairs or replacement?
The dashboard of my 2009 camry is melting. It creates a dangerous, blinding glare. I am concerned that is will cause an accident. I have called my local dealer and was told that there has not been any recalls of the dashboard. This is truly a safety issue. I really hope a body count is not needed to investigate this issue. Not only is the glare a problem, but the concern about the airbags deploying properly, is also a concern. The other issue is who knows what chemicals are being released into the car. There are several issues with the dashboard that need to be addressed and quickly. Please investigate these issues and recall the dashboards to help save lives.

My dashboard has gone from its splendor to now a melted, sticky, shiny, glary, dashboard. In fact, a dragon fly landed on the dashboard, got stuck and died (legs are still embedded in dashboard). Besides not holding up to the toyota slogans ("who could ask for anything more?" "i love what you do for me, toyota!" "let's go places") which emphasize the positive experiences of ownership, and vehicle quality, the dashboard has become unsafe and my vision is obstructed.

My 2009 toyota camry's dashboard has melted. It has become a sticky, shiny mess. I tried to put reflective shades in the windshield to help slow the disintegration. Upon removing it to drive the car one afternoon shortly after i started using it, part of the vinyl was melted to the shieldand ripped off the dashboard leaving the orange foam showing. The safety hazard comes from the shiny "puddles" of melted dash. They are incredibly reflective and can be blinding in sunlight. The glare is distracting while driving. I cannot lay anything on the dash to reduce the glare, because the vinyl will adhere to it and peel away like it did with the sun shield. While it has not yet caused an accident for me, i can see where it may have for others. As the cars age further, more of the dash will become melted. Eventually, tens of thousands of people are going to be on the road with the equivalent of a spotlight blinding them when the sun is shining. Hopefully, a safety solution will be had before then. Another problem this vehicle has had since i bought it new, the windshield does not have good clarity when driving in the rain. I have cleaned it so many ways and replaced the wiper arms, but it has a smear, or film, that makes it highly difficult to see through in wet conditions.
Rust on 2009 toyota camry. The dealer compared to other 2009 same model and they all have the same rust problem. Contacted the manufacturer and they are not responsive.
Car was left inside garage all summer.when i took it out for a ride, dashboard became all sticky and glary from the sun.
I own a 2009 toyota camry for over 2 years i've had what is known as a "sticky dash". It's almost as if the dashboard as melted and toyota refuses to do anything for it - their response is for me to pay almost $1900 for a new dashboard plus labor which is completely unacceptable. I've also noticed that as of late, the glare due to the dashboard is interfering with my driving and i am genuinely worried about the safety of this vehicle.
My 2009 camry dashboard is melting. The leather console between seats has cracked.the electrical system keeps shorting out. All cigarette lighters/charger locations have shorted out including the aux. A week after buying my car the safety feature to lock place mat in place broke. Nearly causing a car wreck as the place mat lodged in between the gas and brake. The radio, location where speedometer, clock, and service lights locations are fogged up and getting worse daily. When i took my car to the dealership about the dashboard i was told,"it was my fault. Probably caused by a cleaning product."which i knew was entirely not true. Cigarette lighter covers have dry rot and broken, plastic/leather has dry rot under all 4 windows leaving scratch looking marks, dry rot paint by stick shift is peeling. Headlights fog up easily with water in them. I was in a car wreck a couple of years ago.when i was going about 10 mph and a vehicle ran the red light hitting the right side of vehicles front area. They were going at least 45 mph. No airbag deployed. Underneath front of car is a plastic piece that keeps falling down. Some days i am unable to take car out of park unless i turn the wheel,"hard". I have never received anything via mail about any recalls on my vehicle. I still live at the same address! took car to dealer again about front passenger window and driver side window not being able to roll down or up windows. I had to pay quite a bit of money to have fixed. Passenger window switch is broken and still isjust like drivers side was. Was told" it was most likely because someone tried to break into my car." which i knew was not the case. I am very disgusted and considering filing a lawsuit against toyota. I bought a lemon car! i keep my oil changes up to date, fluids, filters, etc.i have never felt so disappointed in a vehicle purchase in my life. I'd like a full refund.
Dashboard is melting, very sticky and can create glare possibly risking driver safety.
The dashboard constantly reflects back andseriously blinds eyesight & vision, that actually may cause serious accidents and death.i am humbly giving this "real & actual warning information" to have toyota redesign the dashboard and recall all toyotas and fix this real dashboard problems.

This iscomplaint about the dashboard covering on my 2009 toyota camry. If i need to file this complaint on a different website, please let me know. From what i can tell almost everyone who has a late model lexus or camry is having this problem. The dash covering begins to melt and becomes very sticky. The covering starts to come off if you try to clean it and then a very shiny surface appears and reflects off of the windshield making it very hard to see unlessyou put something over the dash to stop the reflection. This seems to be affecting every camry for several model years and very obviously is a defect. I have heard toyota will give up to a 50% discount so they acknowledge the problem, but until there is a recall it costs the consumer 300 dollars. This seems unfair to me.
My daughter owns a2007 toyota camry, the interior of the vehicle has been kept in great condition, and my wife has been driving it for the past 18 months. We recently noticed that the dash board on the vehicle has gouges in it (on the area that hangs over above the steering wheel) and we realized that merely accidentally touching the dash board with your fingernails (as one could do accidentally if you were driving and turning the wheel) is enough to cause the nails to "sink in" and cause a permanent scar in the dash board.the entire dashboard, when you touch it, is "sticky", or "tacky", almost like drying paint or tar. It's so soft, that conceivably, you could take an ice cream scoop and scoop out entire chunks. My 2009 toyota camry also has the same issue. I did not clean mydash board with any polish.my first thought was that .. The dashboard is melting or suffering some kind of heat-related damage due to the florida heat, but this still should not be happening. I should note that my wife and i have never applied any cleaning chemicals or anything to the dash board, other than taking an ordinary dry rag and wiping down the dust.have you guys heard of this problem before? thanks in advance.
The dashboard is starting to melt.it is causing a glare on the windshield due to the dash melting and becoming shinny.the dashboard is becoming so soft that you can leave finger prints or indents in it.i called the dealership (cramer toyota in venice fl)they told me that the warranty was only good for three years for the dash, recommended a dash cover.they didn't seem to acknowledge the problem but i have done some research and have seen more and more complaints about the 2007-2009 camry models across the country melting.
The dashboard has become very sticky and shiny, causing a glare from the sun. This is very dangerous while driving. I have taken the car to toyota and they could not and would not do anything about it. I see i am not the only one having this problem and believe the dashboard should be recalled.
The dashboard in the car is melting. The melting is very sticky and shiny.this causes a glare on the dashboard which is very bad in the louisiana sun, especially while driving into the sun, which i do every day on the way to and on the way back from work.this glare has almost caused me to get into several wrecks because it's hard to see.i have very sensitive eyes and i do wear sunglasses, but the glare is still very bright.there should be a recall on this issue as i see it's not an isolated issue and i would hate to get into a wreck because of it and possibly have someone or myself hurt or killed.
I have a toyota camry se, and my dashboard is sticky and blinding. It has melted a lot. It is so shiny seeing becomes nearly impossible because of the glare, and is now a safety concern.
No long after the purchase of my 2009 toyota camry the dashboard is oily and sticky.the dashboard now appears to be melting.the dashboard produces such a glare that it makes it difficult to drive.i think toyota should recall these vehicles and correct the problem at no charge to the consumer.
Dash board has melted.this needs to be a recall.i went to toyota of stuart fl and they said they would pay for the part but i have to pay for the labor. The labor is $400.00 who can afford that. I think they need to replace it for free. When im driving my finger nails end up getting stuck in the dash. You cant open or stretch you fingers when they are on the wheel. Then you are trying to get the sticky dash board off your fingers and out from under your nails. It distracts you when you should have your eyes on the road.
Like many others i have read about online my dashboard is melting and sticking causing a constant glare in my windshield making it hard to see in front of me. I strongly believe this is an ongoing and dangerous issue that should be addressed by the automakers.
The dashboard began to "melt" and become sticky. It has become progressively worse, to the point it is now about an 80% liquid appearance. The dash material that doesn't have the liquid appearance is extremely soft and quite easily damaged. It cannot be cleaned, as any type of cleaning cloth or sponge immediately sticks to the surface. No cleaners or protectants have ever been applied.
My 2009toyota camry dashboard is alsosticky with a hi gloss shine. I did not do any thing about it or say anything about it to the dealer because i don't drive the car much. I bought it brand new and i have only 2100 miles on it. I am really concern aboutit now because i am driving it more often . The sun is causes a bad reflection / glare on the window which , i can barely see through the windshield. I found that other ownersare experiencing the same issue. This is a hazard and there should be a recall before any additional accident occur.
Dashbord melting can you replace it.
Dashboard all of a sudden became sticky and shiny. As i was cleaning the windshield one day, the paper started to stick to the dashboard and i still can't remove it. I tried with several products to neutralize the dashboard, without success. I brought the car to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and asked them for their advise. They told me that they never observed anything like that and only could offer to replace the dashboard for approximately $1500. The sheen on the dash also creates a glare on sunny days, which create a safety hazard. I personally think its a product defect and toyota is avoiding a recall. Iam 67 years old, and have owned many vehicles in my lifetime. This is a first. It really needs to be investigated. Sincerely,very disappointed
The dashboard of my 2009 toyota camry is melting. We live in kentucky so it is not just warmer weather states like toyota states it is. The melting causes a glare that is dangerous. I have been lucky others may not. I contacted toyota they really could care less. How many people need to get hurt before action is taken?
The dash board is melting and very sticky to the touch. It also is very soft and easily knicked by touch removing a piece of the dash. You can not clean the dash because the cloth will stick leaving lint behind. I have never usedany cleaner of any kind to clean the dash. I have always used a dry cloth for cleaning.
Sticky dashboard that puts a glare on windshield.
The dashboard of my 2009 camry is melting. It creates a dangerous, blinding glare. I am concerned that is will cause an accident. I have called my local dealer and was told that there has not been any recalls of the dashboard. It is very sticky and cannot be cleaned with anything as paper sticks to it when wiped. This is truly a safety issue. There are several issues with the dashboard that need to be addressed and quickly. Please investigate these issues and recall the dashboards to help save lives.
My dashboard is very sticky. Can't clean it off. It also chips very easily. It's almost plush...?? on top of all that, the glare it gives off is very unsafe!
The dash is sticky and seems to be melting.you can touch it and it will leave an impression.a couple of cracks have also developed.this car is not that old.i am concerned about the safety of the airbags due to the breakdown of the dash. I also did not pay the price i didfor an automobile that would look like this after only 6 years. I called the dealership and they said it would be about $1500 to replace the dash.i don't believe i should have to pay for this.there should be a recall.
I am another camry owner who has noticed my dashboard "melting". Simply pressing my finger on it will leave an indent, and there are several nicks and scratches at this point. I worry that if i'm in an accident, the strength of the dashboard is compromised and it won't do it's job in helping to protect me.
In 2012, i started to notice the beginning of my dashboard melting on my 2009 camry. This has gotten progressively worse as time went on. The entire surface of the dashboard is sticky and shiny. I cannot even touch my dashboard without leaving a fingerprint. There is a puddle of melted dash closer to the windshield. My main concern is that the melted dashboard creates a glare when i am driving which is distracting and dangerous. Thank you.
Sticky and shiny dashboard:my dashboard is very sticky and it's difficult to clean but not only that but there is the glare and when that comes up i can't really see where i am going properly. It's quite dangerous since the shiny dashboard makes even more difficult to see the road and traffic lights when sun hit right at you. In order for me to drive i have to lean down a little bit and go in between the two glare spots.
Toyota camry 2009. When dash heats up it starts shining and cause glare on windshield, it causes obstructive vision to the driver's visibility of the roadway. In addition, the material on the dashboard would become very sticky as if it were melting.
The dashboard is sticky and melting. Now there is a glare that affects my son when he is driving. Glad to know we are not the only ones with the problem. Hopefully they will do something. I am afraid for my son to continue to drive the car.
The dash board is very sticky and went the sunlights hit in directly it reflects the sun into my eyes this occurs every day. I live in puerto rico and this is my travel car every day when the sun is always shining. This make me cause to put a tinted glass paper to reduce the sunlight reflection frontal the dashboard but it continue to reflects the sun light.

My toyota camrys dashboard has always been an issue.its scratches easily.but this summer it started to feel sticky.around the hottest part of the day it will actually be shiny and melted and as the temperature goes down it will go back to being gooey, soft.when the sun is highest i have to put my sunglasses on to shield off some of the glare on my dash.the other day i drove for an hour around 3pm and later i was suffering from a twitch in my eye from eye strain from the glare off my dash.a friend of mine got in the car and i had forgotten to tell her not to touch the dashboard as it was around 1pm.i knew it would be melting.she placed her cell phone on it and as soon as she took it off, pieces of the dashboard stuck to her phone.i now have holes on my dash.it wasn't her fault and i don't see why it should be mine either or why i should continue to put up with it.i have always kept my car clean and serviced.i have always protected the inside with mothers and armor all.when i called the dealership they told me it was my fault because i must have put something on it i wasn't supposed to and that it would cost 1800 dollars to replace the dash.why should i pay to fix a defective product?in my investigation i have found that many people are having this problem, especially in the southern states.can something please be done?can toyota please take responsibility for their greedy cost cutting tactics?so far i have attended numerous recalls for this car for one thing after another.having to take out time from work and my personal time to go for another recall is not what i envisioned when i bought this car. Its not what i signed and paid for.i will not buy another toyota until toyota starts treating customers with respect.

My car was parked at work in march, 2017.the vehicle next to me was a bmw suv.about one hour and fifteen minutes later the bmw burst into flames causing fire damage to my vehicle.the insurance company for the bmw has closed the claim saying the fire was not intentional therefore they are not paying anything for my claim.my insurance company is paying for repairs to my car, however, i have to pay the deductible and cost of a rental car.after this happened i saw several news reports of bmw's bursting into flames after being turned off for a while.they said i was 0% at fault (obviously), but it does not seem fair that i have to pay anything for this incident.all i did was park my car; my car did not have any problems with it.i hope you will continue to investigate this problem.i feel several incidents are far too many for bmw to ignore.they certainly have more money than i do.i have photos, video, etc.

I had picked up a passenger about 1 1/2 hours from my home. I was returning home & noticed that the gas pedal was accelerating even tho i was pressing the brake. I couldn't stop the car& a curvy road was ahead along with a cliff. My option was to go over the cliff or go into possible oncoming traffic to try to stop the vehicle. I opted to try to turn the car into a nearby driveway. Luckily no oncoming traffic was close enough to hit my car as i did this. The driveway was slanted & as i turned into the driveway i smacked into a snow bank which tore my front bumper off. Luckily there were no personal injuries. I reported this to toyota & my insurance ( at the time of the accident i had heard about a toyota recall having to do with gas pedal but it had been a while & i hadn't received notification of the recall affecting my vehicle). My personal car insurance covered the $3000 worth of damage to the bumper radiator, grill, etc. Over 4 years later & i stillhaven't recovered my deductible from toyota for a known defect in the pedal!had i been notified timely of the recall affecting my vehicle this could have been avoided! instead, i had to cover the cost to repair damage out of my pocket & i had whiplash for a few weeks caused by a known issue toyota knew of! i'm furious & disappointed that i chose a toyota!
The dashboard material started leaking, oozing some sticky gluey fluid that got real worse when it was hot. Driving on a sunny day became very hard since the dashboard was very shiny glare reflected on the windshield and visibility was very low.i thought this was a safety issue & did some google research. I realized i was not alone.i brought this up to toyota attention by an email. They referred me to the dealer.dealer basically said the car was out of warranty and they need money to fix the issue.this issue is a "defective" material use by toyota. They need to fix this within a "safety" recall.

My trunk is leaking on the right side during heavy downpours. I went to get our fabric shopping bags from the trunk and they were soaked. The car is smelling musty, not great for my sinuses and asthma. Headlight seal is allowing moisture to enter or the plastic has become porous. During a recent inspection, the headlights did not pass. We paid the gas station $32 to clean and polish the headlights to pass inspection. They looked great afterwards and passed inspection. Then my husband took the car to the car wash. Now the headlight casing is clouded again. I can see the soap drippings from the carwash on the inside of the plastic. The car is parked on the street or in a driveway, since we don't have a garage. The vehicle was stationary.

The "dash panels" of my car is melting and it is all sticky, due to the high temperatures, which is a danger because it can cause a fire in the electrical parts that are under it.i need your immediate intervention, so that the toyota takes charge of changing this piece for free as it is a manufacturing defect

I purchased a new 2009 toyota camry se, after owning ten toyota vehicles since 1978. I still own four today! i have never experienced anything like this issue in another car. In 2014-2015 (estimated) my entire dash board became sticky, as if i had poured oil on it. Today it releases a thick sticky residue onto the front windshield when parked in the sun. This makes the dash impossible to wipe... As towels, sponges, even leaves, etc., get stuck to it (see pics). I can't drive my car without first wiping the inside of the windshield each time it is parked in the sun, or this residue makes it opaque (see pics...after wiping it). This situation is exacerbated when driving towards the sun (see pics) and is a safety issue!! i'm concerned how the deteriorated condition of my dash affects the deployment of the passenger airbag or if it still even operates correctly?on 8/16/19, i discovered that toyota extended its warranty to ten years from the original purchase date. Mine was 7/29/09...putting me only two weeks out of their 10-year warranty coverage. Toyota corporate and my dealership told me they could not offer any assistance in my case ("1 day or 1 mile over warranty and we won't help"). When challenged, toyota could not confirm letters were mailed to all affected owners, only that an effort was made to send letters to some owners in 2015. Multiple models over several years are involved. I spent 8 hours on the phone appealing their decision, without success. A new dashboard costs $2600.00 (installed)!! i reported this issue here because it is a manufacturing/safety issue resulting from toyota's use ofsub par materials...like defective windshield wipers...if you can't see out of your windshield at freeways speeds because of the glare from your dashboard, or the residue stuck on your windshield...you are at risk of an accident. Please contact me if you have questions?

While driving s on i95 just north of ponte vedra exit between jacksonville and st. Augustine, fl a large piece of tire retread/recap came down in my lane and i had no option but to hit it going between 65-70mph causing damage to my front and rear bumpers and unknown damage underneath until it is checked out. Tire recap causes many accidents or vehicular damage with no repercussions. If i were to drop large items from my vehicle that damaged other vehicles or caused accidents, there would be severe repercussions. Money is no excuse for safety, make them pay for tires or stay off the road!

Trunk leaks during heavy rainstorms. There's mildew in the trunk space, which is infiltrating the cabin and i'm breathing it in. I'm certain this happens when the vehicle is stationary, but uncertain as to whether it happens while the vehicle is in motion. Belongings that were left in the trunk have been soaked through. This occurred while the car was parked in front of my house on a public street.this has been an ongoing problem for a few years, so the date listed below as to when it happened is not a pinpointed date.

I cant give a definitve date when i noticed but i did notice it seemed to appear as if i had put a coat of conditioner on it, i assumed it was just a matter of the heat causing excess conditioner to leach out. I attempted to wipe it off and realized it was sticky and it was near the warranty expiration time. One cold moring i got in the car and realized no normal dashboard should look like that and pressed it with my fingernail and realized it was soft.i take my car in on fairly regular basis to a toyota dealer. Which is why i believe the service technicians saw the pattern of change and choose not to document it or say anything as it may involve a problem that would not involve profit for toyota or the dealership. My last trip was for a defect on the visor and i mentioned it to the service agent who choose not to make any comment which i noted as odd ( a typical action when management has instruced employees not to comment on a known problem).a month or so later i received a notice in the mail that they woul take care of the problem with a complimentary fix to the problem. The letter i received appears to be a stalling tactic to get customers to wait, not fix the problem and or seek reimbursement utill it's too late for redress.on my last visit i insisted they make note of the problem due to dangerous glare being reflected off the dashboard onto the windshield.i stated it was a grave safety issue.the letter stated they needed to acquire enouh parts to fix the cars and do no contact the dealer to wait for a notice to bring your car in.if i had an accident it would not take over six months to acquire the parts if i or the insurance company was paying for it. Believe me if ceo's of toyota or there loved ones were driving with this problem they wouldimmediately fix the problem, they probably have and kept it off the record.
I have a toyota camry 2009. My car went through the recall services,toyotahad for the acceleration problems through one of their dealers. However, on 02/08/2013, i was involved in an accident, wherein i felt this problem myself. On a busy road i may have been driving between 35-40 mph, when all of a sudden, when i applied brakes, my car wouldn't stop but accelerated to maybe double the speed and hit the car in front of me. It appeared as if there are no brakes in the car.the impact was so severe, that i am still nervous and shaken up with the incident.the person driving the car i hit, thought i was speeding. But it definitely was the acceleration problem. This problem has not yet resolvedand could lead to many more accidents. I havereported this problem to toyota dealership and on their suggestion to the toyota customer experience team.i was extremely lucky, that there were nophysical injuries in the accident, but it could have been fatal.
Dashboard started melting. Dashboard has become sticky, shiny and greasy. Now sunlight reflects back on windshield glass, and reduces visibility of road. On bright sunny day, sunlight reflection on windshield makes it impossible to drive without covering dashboard.
Interior roof lining began sagging; and sun visor; lost its ability to return to original position. Took car to dealership they said it was not under warranty. I took car and had roof lining replaced at bahamas auto upholstery -ave 4742 sw 75 ave. Tel (305) 262-050 i paid $275.00; the technician said that it was common in toyotas with a sun roof, in florida. The driver sidesun visor lost adhesive and snapped off, has not been replaced. At the same time i noticed that the interior dashboard was loosing its integrity, therefore i purchased a stronger reflective sun protective visor for interior, but it has not helped, dash is now melting.
Car parked in sun, dashboard material getting very sticky/gooey. If touched, it gets damaged. It shows a very shiny appearance when hot ( like if you used a tire shine on it), on sunny days it creates a lot of glare on the windshield affecting visibility. Dash cannot be wiped with anything because it is very sticky and gooey. I can accept dashboard damage on a 10year plus car, but not on a 4 year old car.this is clearly a material defect and it prompts for a recall. Specially because of the glare on the front windshield the dash creates when it is very hot. Lots of people complaining of this in many internet forums. Hopefully they will fill out a complain to get this matter resolved by toyota.
Air comes in thru the back, around the back seats. The dealership at toyota irvine, in orange county, california, checked it out twice but couldn't find anything. Thisdealership didn't want to check it out again. So we're stuck with the air coming in when going above 60 mph.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the dashboard melted and produced a sticky substance that leaked all over the cockpit. The melted liquid reflected off the windshield and produced a blinding glare. The vehicle was driven to butler toyota of macon (4580 riverside dr, macon, ga 31210, (478) 345-8512), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The mechanics refused to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 61,000.
On 10/19/2012, the windshield molding on the upper driver side was separating from the glass and was cracking in other areas. The molding was inspected by local toyota dealerships and they questioned the installation of the windshield. It was explained the car has one owner and the windshield had not been damaged or replaced. I was told i could have it repaired for $400 or come back when i experience leaking. I was not satisfied with either answer especially since the toyota plant, located in kentucky, incorrectly installed the windshield and now i am being told i have to pay for the botched installation. After researching recent tsbs, i found the 09-12 tacoma's were experiencing the same issues i have on my car. The tsb 0062-12 states the incorrect installation of the windshield/windshield molding was causing wind noise and the remedy was to replace the windshield/windshield molding. Although the tsb specifies wind noise as a minor nuisance, the defect has the potential to affect the integrity of the windshield as well as other electrical components due to the faulty molding. I am requesting the tsb be expanded to cover camrys exhibiting the same symptoms and make dealers responsible for correcting the defect.

Sticky dashboard provides glare. This causes distraction and glare. Because of stickiness, i can't mount my gps and that forces me to keep looking down and not pay attention to road. I had many close calls and toyota would not fix this issue. I never have this problem in my 2004 camry. It seems this is a manufacturing issue.
The car was purchased new in 2008. I lived in ga from 2008-2012 and moved to tx in 2012. I did not experience dash issues while living in ga. I first noticed my dashboard was "sticky" when trying to remove a parking voucher from the dash area. The voucher was stuck to the dash and other areas of the dash were sticky to the touch. I tried removing pieces of the voucher and noticed the "stickiness" of the dashboard was coming off onto my hands. The stickiness has worsened to the point that whenever the dash is touched the sticky residue is transferred onto hands and fingerprints are left behind. The dashboard seems to be melting and touching the surface creates "gouges" in the dash. The area where the voucher was placed and removed is worn and has lost its texture. The increased stickiness makes the dash shiny and a glare is present when driving. The sticky/melting dash is a result of dash material defects which should be replaced by toyota free of charge.
I have called my local toyota dealer to report a sticky, melting dashboard.i called several months ago to report this but it was stated that no recalls were out on this.i saw on the news last week about this same issue and i called again on 8/5/2019 and was told again that no recalls were out.i use a sun guard for my windshield but that only helps minimally. My dashboard has been melting for about 3 months and i have no solutions.how do i proceed to do something about this?
The dash and steering wheel are melting where they are tacky.
On my way to work and another driver just rammed his struck against my car his tired ended up on top of my car it was a hard hit and i even thought i had my seat belt i my airbags did it go off at all the impact was so hard and i would like to know why didn't my airbags deployed my question is do i have any airbags that really concerned me and would like toyota to look at my car as soon as possible in my opinion my airbags should have went off i was hit by a bigger veichle and i would like toyota to takereposability since i had witness that saw the accident and testified that i was not at fault if there is no airbags in my car it's new to me because when i went to buy the car the only thing high was the mage and i was promise that if anything went wrong with the car toyota will be responsible for it. I think that toyota took advantage and was trying to get rid of the car so i got the wrong end of the deal. If i find out i never had any air bag si should no be reponsie le to pay a die out of my pocket.

I recently bought a used 2009 camry, with a melting dashboard. The car salesperson told me it's just cleaner, so of course i believed them. Although, when i got home i read all about toyota's problem with melting dashboards. I am very upset with this company's interior manufacturing. There is an intense reflection on the windshield due to the sticky dashboard. This makes it hard to see while driving.

Approximately 4 months ago, my passenger side door handle had broken off as my husband attempted to get into the car. Than the door handle behind that came off when my child went to open the door to get into the car about a month later. Following both those incidents i was unloading groceries and went to open the rear door on the drivers side of the vehicle and that handle just came off. The only handle remaining on the car is the driver's side door. There was nothing out of the ordinary.no one pulled on the handles harder to open the doors. I dont understand how this could happen! i have owned and driven toyotas for over 20 years, as well as several members of my family and this has never happened! i do not use my car for anything like uber or lyft were it would have been used more frequently than normal and i feel this has to be some type of defect for it to happen to 3 door handles!i am also concerned for the safety issues this could cause my family, especially my child. My family and i have been loyol toyota customers for many many years and i am just beside myself that this could happen!

When driving outside especially day time and when hot and humid, the car's dash becomes sticky and soft. I bought my car new in albuquerque, nm and the lived in ca, i did not notice the problem. Neither i received any notification from toyota dealership or none in the service center checked with on this issue or told me that this could happen and hence need to be replaced as they did with unintended acceleration issue and power window switch malfunction. Now i have been experiencing this dash stickiness issue and toyota in hawaii is refusing to replace the defective and substandard product that they has put in at their own expense as they have done for millions of other customers. The reason doe refusal is that my car just passed 10 years since it was bought. But had i been known of this issue before even experiencing it, i would have got it replaced. I had been taking my vehicle regularly to toyota service, but none bothered to check on this. Since it is not my issue and it is becasue of they using a defective part, they should help me in replacing it completely at their expenditure. I am with my family and i am very much concerned about the safety and risks associated with this issue as it could emit chemicals because of melting or chances of fire accident. Please help me to have the servco toyota replace my dash. I brought this to continental us toyota head office, but they again directed me to servco toyota, hawaii, but they are refusing to help. Please intervene and help me get this fixed.
Glare due to melted dashboard cause delay reaction due to poor visibility resulting in double impact. The dashboard issue looks to be a cosmetic issue but it really should be a recall as it is clearly a poor manufacturing product that when in contact with the sun turns into a shinny sticky residue that reflects the direct light right into de driver and passenger's face.toyota should stand by their product and replace the poorly designed dashboards before a fatality occurs.
Dashboard melting producing stickiness and a glare on windshield
I have a 2009 camry xle with the sticky dash issue!the dash is turning into a glue like substance. It also has a noticeable smell when it is hot out where the dash is letting off fumes. There is a glare which is amplified from his issue. Im not sure if the fumes are toxic but i have to keep the windows open to air it out when i 1st get in. When i purchased the car i even bought the extended warranty from toyota and a interior warranty! well guess what! its not covered! the interior trim warranty by perma plate states it covers cracked staining or faded dash and trim not sticky! i was told this is a manufacturing defect where the glue is coming through the dash. I went to the dealer and they told me to call toyota customer service ! i call and got the standard sympathy statement of its out of warranty! to try to get a discount from your dealer? well i bought this car in maine, moved to florida in 2010 so yes there is a local dealer but not where i bought this car.

Every week, i use a cooler (standard size) for groceries and put the cooler in the trunk of my camry.whenever i make sharp turns, the lid of the trunk would pop open, probably because the cooler hits the latch inside the trunk. I consider it quite dangerous because items might fall out of the trunk if it's open.to mitigate the problem, we place pieces of cardboard around the cooler to prevent it from sliding around. We took it back to the toyota dealer and they said this is the first time they have heard of this and there is nothing they can do about it.we use coolers all the time and never had this problem with other vehicles.please investigate the issue.thank you.

My wife and i have a 2009 toyota camry that receives scheduled maintenance.we had 234,000 miles, mostly highway miles, when we heard a clanging sound under the hood on the passenger side.the dealership did an inspection and found that both front coil springs were broken. They both had sections broken off on the larger end. The dealership showed me both broken off coiled ends, one in each hand while i was in the waiting room during the inspection process.the shocks were still in excellent shape with no leaking.we did not have this coil spring problem with our first 1995 camry even though we drove it 465,000 miles! we would have hit 500,000 if the car had not been rear ended.our concern is with our mileage weentereda potential recall zone for the 2009 coil springs that other 2009 camry drivers may encounter with lower or similar mileage.

Oil burning problem
I am writing about the prevalent problem of leaking struts on toyota camry 2009. In sept of 2012 i took my car to a mechanic for a oil change and multi point inspection and i was told that my car front struts were leaking. The car had approximately 30,000 miles on it at the time . I normally have my tires balanced and rotated every 6 to 7,000 miles and noticed very heavy wearing of the tire. I took it to aauto repair shop and i was informed the struts should not leak at few such a low mileage. When called the toyota customer service i was told it was out of warranty as 3 years passed. I understand as per the conversation that toyota is completely aware of the problem and chooses to ignore it. This problem should be subject to a recall as it endangers people lives .

Brought to mechanic and been advised that the front passenger side strut is leaking. Mechanic also told us he saw two other similar cases for 2009 camry, and advise us to contact toyota. Toyota was aware of the failure but no safety issue and not under warranty item. Our mechanic stated for safety, front strut coil, spring and mount should be replaced. I am sure toyota know the current issue of this design fault; but the replacement parts and recalls will be expensive to them. But for long term, my mechanic told me the leaking will create safety issue. Approximate miles: 40200.
In may of 2012, i took my car to the toyota dealerbecause another mechanic told me the struts were leaking.the car had approximately 37,000 miles on it at the time and new tires.i took it to avondale toyota and they told me that all struts experienced small leakage and it was no problem.i normally have my tires balanced and rotated every 6-7,000 miles and noticed recently that the interior tread on the tires was wearing excessively.i took it to an independent reputable auto repair shop that i have used for years and they told me that an alignment would only be a temporary fix since the struts were leaking and the cause of the uneven wear on the tires.i then called avondale toyota and asked if there was a technical service bulletin for this problem. She said no after talking to a service representative and i then told her that i had t-sb-0145-11 in my hand.i made an appointment and arrived to talk to dexter a service employee and he said there was nothing he could do about it since it was over the 36,000 miles.i have discussed this with several mechanics and they all informed me that struts should not leak at those few highway miles and the only way to fix the problem is to put new struts on the car.i have driven inifiniti and acura vehicles over 130,000 each and not replaced the struts.i know toyota is completely aware of the problem and chooses to ignore it.this problem should be subject to a recall as it can endanger lives because of the tire wear problem.i checked on the internet and there are numerous complaints about the same problem.
Email from the office of congressman on behalf of constituent re acceleration problems in toyota camry models.the consumer stated the recall was performed on feb 5, 2010 regarding the sudden acceleration problem.however, on march 25, 2010 as the consumer removed the gear from park to drive, with his foot on the brake, the vehicle began to accelerate and roar, the rpm's had redlined and the vehicle began to move forward and the brakes would not stop the vehicle from moving forward.the consumer put the gear in neutral and the vehicle was still accelerating. The consumer then immediately shifted the gear into park and the vehicle came to a screeching halt. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection. However, the inspection revealed nothing wrong with the vehicle. Also, the tires had to be replaced due to excess wear, despitethe tire rotations that were performed every 5,000.

This happened once on 4/18/12 and then again the exact same thing happened again on 6/8/2012.the first time it happened i thought it was something i did and then when it happened again i knew that "something was really wrong" and when i realized the danger over that weekend i parked the car in my garage and have not driven it since.now i am hearing of car door panels catching on fire for 2007-2009 camrys...i will not even drive this car, it will be towed to the dealership this week. I will not be killed or kill someone waiting for something happen.i will never buy another toyota product again.
After routine oil change on 2009 camry, i was informed by a certified mechanic that 3 of 4 struts were leaking and must be replaced. The car is due for pennsylvania state safety inspection in august 2012 and i was informed it would not pass. I called toyota care customer service to file a complaint. I was told the car was out of warranty and there is nothing they could do. He said there were no warranty extensions or federal recalls.

I noticed while driving on highways that my 09' camry with 72k miles seemed as if i didn't have good control - like it was floating all over the road, kind of like a boat.i also noticed a creaking noise coming from left front wheel well when going over road bumps at slow speed.i had recently purchased tires so i went to tire dealership for a diagnostic .to my disbelief i was informed that my front struts (left and right) were leaking and they recommend that i replace them.dealer wanted way to much money for the replacement so i went with my personal mechanic. My mechanic replaced all four struts, said that the coil springs appeared to be ok.afterwards i had an alignment and balance.shortly thereafter i went on a long distance trip, and my car was driving like a nightmare!the car handling was worse, felt like there was no space between me and the road, and the creaking noise was worse.i took it to the dealership where i purchased for a diagnostic exam and they told me i needed the front(left and right) strut mounts replaced and quoted a price that was $200 less than i had paid for struts to be replaced. So i went back to my personal mechanic.he replaced front (left and right) strut mounts, and now the creaking noise is worse and the handling about the same - bad.since i owned the car - brand new w/ 11 miles - i am own my 3rd set of tires and have to have it balanced and aligned 2 or more time a year.i called toyota company (12/22/2015) and asked if they would give me a discount at my local dealership for another diagnostic and repairs for the problem and they said no because there was no recall for the issue.i do not feel safe driving my car and am afraid that my car is going to have a catastrophic failure. Will never buy another toyota!our government need to step up, do their jobs and implement auto recalls on all defective equipment.

Struts of my new car are leaking!!!..toyota camry 2009. Toyotasays that "they are leaking..but they are not leaking enough..to be replaced!!....the fact is they shouldn't be leaking at all at 18,000 miles!!...i heard a lot of people complaining about the strutsin the 2009 camry and toyota one more time..is denying the problem...
I found out my camry le 2009 had leaking oil on all 4 struts near 40000 miles.it must have been leaking before my warranty expired but didn't notice until an oil change after the warranty expiration.i called toyota and let them know during the summer of 2012, but the toyota call center told me that they never had a complaint with the struts.now my car is over 64000 miles and i found out about this web site to report this incident.toyota should do the recall.i am the only driver of my car and i rarely have any passengers in my car and use the car for going to work on a mostly highway driving course.toyota should definitely have a recall for this since i've seen many complaints about the leaking struts.
About a week ago i noticed and extremely loud rattling nose coming front the front suspension of my 2009 toyota camry.i explained the problem to my husband who has experience in car repairs.upon inspecting my car he discovered that the front strut coil spring had broken.one complete bottom coil of the spring had sheared off and was lying inside the strut coil spring creating the loud rattle sound. By looking at the cross section of the coil breakage point it was very obvious there was a crack in the coil metal and from that point the breakage originated.before this breakage happen i was scheduled for a recall bulletin that i received from toyota for the power window switch.upon arriving at the dealership service dept the next day we explained the problem to them.they explained that since the car had reached 50,000 mile there was nothing that they could do except charge me $660 to replace both front strut springs. I declined their offer because they did not have the parts in stock and i felt this was a defect in the spring in the first place, why should i have to bear the cost of this defect?later that day i contacted my local mechanic about the problem.after his inspection of the problem he recommended replacing both front strut assemblies not just the springs because of the excessive amount the struts were leaking.the good news is i now have new front struts at a cost of less that half of what toyota wanted just to replace the springs and a huge improvement in ride quality that my vehicle now exhibits.i have owned 6 toyota's in the previous years and ran them all to 200,000 plus miles and never had to replace a strut. I think we have an obvious problem with the newer generation toyota camry that needs to be addressed.
Was having the oil changed when i was informed the struts on the vehicle were leaking. 30,000 miles on the vehicle. I was told that the cost to replace the struts would be $1671.55. I called toyota customer service to file a complaint. I was told the car was out of warranty and there is nothing they would or could do. It appears this is a standard problem on these automobiles and toyota refuses to do anything about it. The situation is getting worse now. I really worry about the safety of the car and will be getting rid of it asap. I will never purchase anther toyota and will inform everyone i know of the issue. I have no confidence toyota will do anything to resolve this without legal intervention.they refuse to do anything for me because the car was out of warranty even though it only has 30000 miles on it.
My toyota camry (2009) always steers to the left on highway. Have to hold tight to keep it straight. Sent to dealer, got four wheel alignment, but the problem still exists.

I went to a local dealer to get the wheel alignment of my car done.they said i had leaking struts and showed me.i had purchased toyota extended platinum warranty.i called the toyota dealer and they said struts are considered wear and tear and are not covered.there are hundreds of posts that state that camry 2009 has a very common leaking struts problem.toyota is choosing to ignore it as it costs money to replace them.there is no recall on it when there should be one as the problem is so common and is security risk.can someone throw any ideas?i am going to stop buying toyota products and go to honda. Their quality has clearly gone down.
Struts on my 2009 camry starting leaking around 30000 miles. Since the car is under warranty, toyota dealer checked them out in september 2011 and indicated that a small amount of leak is normal and struts need not be replaced. Now (november 18, 2012) i have 45,000 miles on my car (out of warranty) and a mechanic checked the struts out and indicated that all four struts are leaking very badly and must be replaced. This is premature failure and toyota should replace struts on 2009 camrys without charge.

Recently we had our tires rotated and the mechanic mentioned the front struts were leaking.he suggested we take it to toyota for repair.we weren?t too concerned, the car had 34,365 miles on it, well under the 36,000-warranty limit.until recently, all we?d heard was camry seldom had a problem, and, unlike some manufacturers, toyota paid attention to quality.we thought we were just unlucky.we did some research on the issue and imagine our surprise when we found this was not just an occasional problem - toyota has had issues with struts leaking for years.it?s so well known they wrote a service bulletin telling their dealers how much leakage they should overlook.how much leaking is acceptable?how about zero, especially when a car has so few miles, most of which were driven on highways.as it turns out, our car is out of warranty because we?ve owned it over 36 months.that means we get to foot the entire $768 bill for the repair (dealer price), a repair that would not be needed if toyota had addressed their strut problem when they found out about it.so much for toyota quality.

Sticky, melting dashboard causes a glare when driving and makes it difficult to see while driving!
I own a 2009 camry le. The material that covers the dashboard is sticky and peeling off. This has been happening since 2018. When the sun shines the light reflects and is very distracting while driving. Toyota issued a recall for this problem. I called them today (1/27/20) but they say it is now expired. I am wondering how this can be addressed for my vehicle since i never got the original paperwork because i moved. Please advise.

Ltr fm (ny) re follow-up to 1/28/10 correspondence re trade-in value of 2009 camry was greatly reduced for purchase of a 2010 nissan rogue due to recent toyota recalls.*tgw
I have been the sole owner of this camry. Back in 2015 i took it to a dealership for service and brought up to the technician that the dashboard was sticky. At the time they said there was nothing i could do about it and replacing it would cost me a lot of money. Now 4 years later i find out that there was a warranty enhancement that covered the dashboard. My dashboard is now so sticky that it is glistening. I tried to use a sun visor hoping it would slow the rate of melting but then my sun visor would stick to the dashboard. I place a hat on the dashboard once for 10 minutes and when i removed it there was black residue.finally, i have a child now and when he gets into the car he has put his hands on the dashboard and gotten the black debris and chemicals on his hands and i am now concerned for his health and safety.there was also a warranty enhancement with the oil consumption. My spouse changes my oil for me and over the last several years commented that i was surprisingly very low on oil.i am wondering why i have not received any notice from toyota for either of these issues even though they claim notices were sent out.i have opened a case with toyota #1911082336. They tell me that i am out of the window for repair and it would now have to be out of pocket which is very frustrating considering i notified them of the dashboard issue before.
Front spring coils breaking - right front broke while driving and when i took it in they told me the left front was also broken! cost me 500.00 to fix both!
2 year wait for a recalled dashboard. This is absurd. We are a family of 3 toyota's and this one is an embarrassment. Surely, there is someone who can get this fix done. Please call me, 772-924-5022.
We have a 2009 camry le with only 53,000 miles on it. The dash is starting to melt and stick.
Drivers side sun visor has almost completely fallen off. I have included pictures. This is becoming a safety issue as the visor now blocks my vision while driving. It will not fold up and out of the way. This has happened over 4 days.
The dash board is very sticky and has cracked and looks terrible. Obiviously not a quality product.
I purchased my 2009 toyota camry 2.4l while stationed in germany, it was manufactured to us specifications and i brought it stateside with me.

I called toyota and they ran my vin, they explained that my vehicle was not visible in their database. The went on to explain, i would have to contact toyota in japan or germany for recall information and they would not be able to repair any recalls on my vehicle in the us. Does toyota not have an obligation to ensure my vehicle was manufactured properly and with quality materials to ensure its safe operation?
Oil consumption - my 2009 camry is using a lot of oil.had the oil consumption test done and they said it was fine.2 weeks later i'm already a quart low.at this rate there will be no oil left before the next oil change.toyota customer service said excessive consumption use is 1.5 quarts every 1200 miles that is crazy. They were no help at all.i saw online this has effected cars from 2007 to 2011.so if you own one in this year range you basically have toadd oil every week or two.
Odo meter malfunction, abs light,brake light on. Ac not working
I made an era on the form just sent. The confirmation number (odi number is: 10744793. There were 2 holes in the rear window of my parked vehicle; 1 was extra largeand the other one a little smaller.the other portion of the window was shattered but still in tact. The police officers investigated to see if there was foul play, but none was found. They found no rocks or any thing else in the car that may have caused the damage
My dashboard is melting and sticky. It makes a glare on my windshield and is hard to see at times and i feel like toyota should fix the issue for free.
Sun visor has fallen off drivers side.passenger side is falling down.

My dashboard is completely sticky and is causing a severe glare on the windshield therfore making it dangerously to drive. This has to be looked into asap! i have tried multiple cleaners and nothing works! #recall toyota!i
My mechanic is told me for years that i have a oil consumption problem. My oil runs out after about 1500 miles. I've taken it to the toyota dealership several times to get it checked out and they continuously say there is no problem. I was advised to post a complaint on this board so that's what i'm doing.
The dashboard in our 2009 camry has gotten extremely sticky.i was cleaning the car yesterday since we are shortly passing the car onto our son.when i went to clean the dashboard, i noticed the stickiness, worse in a couple of spots.we did receive the 2015 letter from toyota about the dashboard issue but as stated in the letter in bold, red print 'if you have not experienced the condition described, there is no action necessary at this time.'we had no dashboard problem at the time so there was no reason to contact toyota.now we have a problem!the glare and odor from this issue is now a safety and health issue.another concern is how this dashboard issue affects the electrical components and the airbag underneath.toyota should address and repair this issue.i do not care if a vehicle is 5 days old, 5 years old, or 50 years old, a sticky, melting dashboard should never be a problem.please address this problem!
Drivers side sun visor will not stay up. It has gradually gotten worse to the point it won't stay in up position or fully toward the windshield either. It is really a visibility issue but didn't seem to meet that criteria.i am sure that their was a recall for this some years back, but it is not listed on the nhtsa or toyota websites.
Sudden cluster failure of dashboard while driving, possible short in abs control system causes loss of odometer and speedometer, jumping needle for engine temperature and tachomteter, loss of gear indicator light.both check abs and brake lights are illuminated. Unplugging abs remedies engine, tachometer, and gear indicator. Still have no odometer, speedometer, and warning lights for brake and abs permanently illuminated.
Dash has become sticky and shiny. It causes an unsafe glare when driving into the sun.
Dashboard is starting to melt, crack, chip and become gooey. I have been to the dealership 3 times and on the phone with toyota customer service 2 times, and they both keep redirecting me to each other. I have expressed concerns about the integrity of the airbags since the dashboard is melting. Toyota is aware of the situation and is refusing to assist in any way. Apparently, there was a recall that has since expired, however i was never notified. This causes great concern for myself and others since this is a known factory defect that toyota is not addressing with ease or honesty. A melting dashboard is a great safety concern that could have grave consequences.
Melting dash: i placed this under "air bags" because there is legitimate concern for their operation under the defective dash. Also, the glare from the shininess of the dash is a concern. I purchased it new in may 2008. My daughter has been driving it. The problem came to my attention literally days after the 10-year "warranty extension". I talked to my dealer and directly to toyota and they would not resolve the defective dash. This is still a problem. It didn't go away after 10 years.
When driving outside especially day time and when hot and humid, the car's dash becomes sticky and soft. I bought my car new in albuquerque, nm and the lived in ca, i did not notice the problem. Neither i received any notification from toyota dealership or none in the service center checked with on this issue or told me that this could happen and hence need to be replaced as they did with unintended acceleration issue and power window switch malfunction. Now i have been experiencing this dash stickiness issue and toyota in hawaii is refusing to replace the defective and substandard product that they has put in at their own expense as they have done for millions of other customers. The reason doe refusal is that my car just passed 10 years since it was bought. But had i been known of this issue before even experiencing it, i would have got it replaced. I had been taking my vehicle regularly to toyota service, but none bothered to check on this. Since it is not my issue and it is becasue of they using a defective part, they should help me in replacing it completely at their expenditure. I am with my family and i am very much concerned about the safety and risks associated with this issue as it could emit chemicals because of melting or chances of fire accident. Please help me to have the servco toyota replace my dash. I brought this to continental us toyota head office, but they again directed me to servco toyota, hawaii, but they are refusing to help. Please intervene and help me get this fixed.
Leaking front struts: i reported the finding to the local toyota dealer (scott tom toyota, nampa, idaho) and also called the main toyota customer center. The local dealer's service associate confirmed the existence of the leakage. I was told the amount of the leakage is "small," "normal," no need to repair at this point, and if i want to have it replaced then its not covered by the warranty. I believe leaking struts issue is very common to toyota camry and may pose possible safety issue.
Steering wheel started vibrating on reaching the speed of 60 mph. It was more prominent while driving straight while it was not as much while negotiating the bends. However, no vibration was felt at slower speeds. I have got both front and rear rotors and break pads changed recently, all wheels have been balanced and alignment done. I wonder if the manufacturer would take care to identify the cause and recommend remedy.
Dashboard has begun to melt and is really sticky. It causes a glare on the windshield that is blinding!
Excessive oil consumption recall:over the last year i noticed my oil consumption was drastically increasing.i started burning through oil and having to add a quart every 2 months and now monthly.in the past few months, a very large plume of white smoke would spew out of my tail pipes; not just a little but a large cloud of smoke.it has a very burnt smell to it too.the smoke dissipates after the car warms and as long as the car is warm, it will not smoke.it only smoke when the vehicle has been off for over 2-3 hours.i was told by a certified toyota mechanic that i need to replace the engine due to faulty internal parts.he stated it was the reason for such a high level of oil consumption.i discovered that toyota is currently recalling certain engine blocks due to oil consumption defects, however my vin number is not part of that recall as of now.according to toyota, my vin could eventually become part of the recall (oil consumption recall) but as of now, it is not.i don't understand how a major manufacturer will not stand by their product and repair my engine considering they are already recalling other engines with the exact same issues i am having with my camry.this was my first camry too.very disappointed with toyota.
My dashboard is very sticky and melting. The sticky dashboard has a glare in the windshield and is very dangerous. I could hardly see where i'm going when the sun is shining. The glare from the dashboard shines in my face and sometimes blinds me. Please fix this issue.
Shiny/sticky/melting dashboard recall on toyota camry. My mother has been having this issue for three years. Being that she has a language barrier she was not aware of a recall. Toyota states they sent her two notices in 01/15 and 10/15, which she cannot recall receiving and wouldnt have understood if they were in english. Now she drives around with this dashboard reflecting off her windshield at night and sometimes during the sunny days so much that its hard for her to see the road. This is a safety hazard, and i believe she can potentially get into an auto accident. Toyota does not consider this a safety hazard or recall, but it should be. The warranty should remain open until all vehicles with this problem are fixed!! if my mother has an accident, toyota should be liable!!! toyota says the extension for this warranty ended just last month 07/18, but after the two notices in 2015 they never sent further notices.
Front of dashboard is very sticky, specially when it gets hot outside. If i place my finger on dashboard some of the rubber comes off or even leaves finger prints.
In our 2009 toyota camry, there was a temporary dash replacement program. It was considered a warranty extension as opposed to a recall and it was a limited time where owners could take the vehicle back to the dealership and have it repaired during that limited time spa.i purchased the vehicle this past year and upon purchasing and spending a summer in san antonio with my 2009 toyota camry i experienced what the dash recall/toyota replacement policy was intended to repair. The dash turns to mush in the heat and it is very, almost malleable. From a safety standpoint, it creates a glare that makes it impossible to see from the drivers point of view and furthermore there's been reported problems with the airbags deploying because of the melting dash.i spoke with toyota about possibly helping me repair my dash and they said that even though it is a safety concern that they are no longer responsible for repairing the manufactures damages. I wanted to file a claim for reconsideration in hopes that theywould be liable for replacing anything that could potential he be a hazard or a danger to my family.
In spite of keeping sun shades up all the time the car is parked, my dashboard is increasingly sticky and melting. The shiny glare that has developed on the dashboard reflects in my eyes and makes it very difficult to drive safely.
My dash is melting. I've never received a recall. It's chipping off and i was told the recall expired. How am i supposed to get it fixed if never a recall. Also my engine has been leaking oil and i've had it serviced properly and in a timely fashion the entire time i've had it. It's the seals that keep leaking. Ive never received any recall information on my toyota. Ever. So i'm not very satisfied with the notification process. Im attaching pictures of my dash.
Sticky dashboard. Depreaciated value to try to seel.who would want it.feel stuck. Frustrated. Sticky dashboard causing glare on window that can cause an accident when it sunny out.feel cheated by toyota. I have bought toyotas for the last three cars.not again.i feel like i can't sell it or even trade it without taking a lost on the value and its their fault not mind.i feel taken, screwed and want something done.
Sticky/deteriorating dashboard.vehicle purchased brand new in 2009 from a toyota dealer. Vehicle has never been serviced at a car wash. Spray products designed to preserve vinyl have never been applied. Noticed week of 9/1/2016 that the dashboard beneath the windshield is gummy. Prior to this discovery, we had been fighting a strange deposit on the inside surface of the windshield. We believe it was off gassing of the chemically changing dashboard.
Drivers side visor does not allow the driver to pull it all the way up or down impeding vision
Oil consumption. I need to add oil every 1100 to 1250 milage.
I bought this car used and i didn't realize the dash was damaged, it just looked shiny but upon my cleaning it the first time my cleaning cloth stuck to it this is when i realized that something was wrong. The car lot wasn't responsible because it was an as-is sale. This has gotten worse to the point that i can barely see to drive when the sun hits the dash it causes a terrible glare on the windshield. I have to try and look over it and to the side of it and it's nearly caused me to wreck several times already. Yesterday was really a close call and that is the reason that i'm trying to find a solution for this problem now, i've found that this is actually an issue with this year and make of vehicle and not that the previous owner had put something on it's i had thought. I'm sending a picture along with this. The entire dash is like this but the drivers side is the worst.
Bought my vehicle this year and noticed the dashboard melts and is so sticky. Attempted to take it off but unable to.
Sun visor on the drivers side will not stay snapped up, falls down inhibiting my ability to see safely while driving. I have to duck down to obtain a clear view of the road while driving.
I am having an issue with the dashboard melting. The surface of the dashboard has become shiny and creates a glare on the windshield.
My 2009 toyota camry has an issue with the dashboard the dashboard is sticky and seems like is slowly melting.
I cant give a definitve date when i noticed but i did notice it seemed to appear as if i had put a coat of conditioner on it, i assumed it was just a matter of the heat causing excess conditioner to leach out. I attempted to wipe it off and realized it was sticky and it was near the warranty expiration time. One cold moring i got in the car and realized no normal dashboard should look like that and pressed it with my fingernail and realized it was soft.i take my car in on fairly regular basis to a toyota dealer. Which is why i believe the service technicians saw the pattern of change and choose not to document it or say anything as it may involve a problem that would not involve profit for toyota or the dealership. My last trip was for a defect on the visor and i mentioned it to the service agent who choose not to make any comment which i noted as odd ( a typical action when management has instruced employees not to comment on a known problem).a month or so later i received a notice in the mail that they woul take care of the problem with a complimentary fix to the problem. The letter i received appears to be a stalling tactic to get customers to wait, not fix the problem and or seek reimbursement utill it's too late for redress.on my last visit i insisted they make note of the problem due to dangerous glare being reflected off the dashboard onto the windshield.i stated it was a grave safety issue.the letter stated they needed to acquire enouh parts to fix the cars and do no contact the dealer to wait for a notice to bring your car in.if i had an accident it would not take over six months to acquire the parts if i or the insurance company was paying for it. Believe me if ceo's of toyota or there loved ones were driving with this problem they wouldimmediately fix the problem, they probably have and kept it off the record.
On march 28,2018 van trow toyota took my car to do oil consumption on my car.i got my car back on march 30,2018.on april 2,2018.every time i crank my car in morning and after i get off work.smoke is coming out my tailpipe.i didn't have this before my car went to dealership.i also have recall on dashboard that have not being replace yet.iam upset about my car.also my hood was standing by itself before going to dealership.now my hood gotta hold it.iam very upset.i have called toyota corporated about.whats going on with my car
Prior to these incidents, the vehicle was checked by the dealer on their recall.i was traveling on a 2 lane highway at 60 mph with the cruise control on.i approached a slight incline in the road and the transmission downshifted as normal. Tachometer went from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm.then suddenly there was a sudden uncontrollable acceleration in which the engine revved up to 4500 rpm and the engine was screaming as though it was about to blow apart.my foot was not in contact with the accelerator pedal. The floor mat had been removed per the dealer instructions.i immediately put my foot on the brake pedal which stopped the sudden acceleration.if this had been on a wet highway or in traffic there would surely have been an accident. This same incident has occurred 4 times within the last 6 months.i took the vehicle back to the dealer and they reported that there was nothing wrong and they could not replicate the problem.after several conversations with toyota, they said that they will make a record of my incidents but, toyota will do nothing to fix the problem.this had to have been caused by the cruise control system or the computer/software controlling it.
Melting sticky dashboard causing glare obstructing vision
Dashboard is stciky and shines thr reflexion of the sun while driving, at the point where it becomes hard to see
The factory provided vehicle jack is of poor quality. It bent from the middle after the very first use. If not for the tire still on the axel, the car would've had lots of damage.
My 2009 toyota camry le caught on fire friday jan 4 2018. I have no idea how it caught on fire. The only visible warning lights iilluminated was the windshield wiper light.

2009 toyota camry.consumer writes to express delay in repairing recall defects until the real problem has been found.*tgwthe consumer stated he has not experienced any problems.
Recently 'august 2019' i purchased a 2009 toyota camry on a 'cloudy day' for my son to drive to n.c. For college. He came home for an overnight visit and i noticed his dash was very shiny and had a horrible glare. The glare was so bad i would not allow him to drive the car due to this impairing his ability to see. I noticed on toyota's website there is a recall on the dash but read lots of complaints that toyota was not replacing them in a timely fashion and for only so many years. As you can see from the photo this is for sure a visibility hazard and my son or others could be killed due to inability to see.
I am the original owner of a 2009 toyota camry. The dashboard which started melting in 2020 has caused a shiny film on the dashboard resulting in a shiny glare on my windshield when the sunlight hits the dashboard.this glare completely covers a portion of the windshield which prevents me from viewing the roadway ahead of me. Toyota has entered settlements ( extending its' warranty to mid 2017 )several lawsuits, but does live up to its' agreement. Toyota has breached settlement agreement by not providing the toyota dealers with dashboard replacements in timely manner.since my dashboard did not start deteriorating until 2020i have been informed by toyota that since the warranty time period has expired, that they will not pay for the cost to replace the dashboard. Deterioration was a latent defect. Time for nhtsa to get involved: investigate and then issue a national recall of the dashboards. Email: [xxx][xxx] [xxx] toyota has made empty promises to those who filed prior to mid 2017 and refuses to even make promises to those who file after that date. Whittier toyota will be inspecting the vehicle monday july 19 2021 and will issue me a report of the deteriorating dashboard and cost to replace it.google: toyota dashboard melting for obtain postings of various lawsuits in this matter.
There is a recall on my vin [xxx] but yet i haven't received a recall information in my mail. Can you please assist me with this? thanksinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving in this 100 degree weather i turn on the a/c then all of a sudden my brake light and abs light comes on at the same time also my odometer and rpm needles stop working
The dashboard to my camry is very sticky. I live in the state of florida and the glare on the wind shield caused by the melting dashboard is so bad i have to lean to my right while driving in order to see better. This is definitely a safety issue and i need some information asap on getting this problem resolved. It's a shame that toyota does not correct this issue. How many accidents/deaths have to occur before something is done!?
Stick dashboard that is deteriorating and creates glare that makes it difficult to focus on roadway. Toyota did not notify me of recall and i missed the cutoff for warranty coverage. No takata airbag notice or any other recall issues have been sent to me from toyota
Sun visor is broken -toyota will not fix it.they said it was expired in 2015 & they want $150 to fix it.is that true the recall expired in 2015?it broke 1 year ago.
2009 toyota corolla. Consumer expresses discontent with recall services and would like a service description detailing what was done to the vehicle and an honest answer and information about this recall *tgwthe consumer took his vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair. However, he was informed that a software update had been downloaded to the vehicles computer system because the vehicle did not need a shim for the gas pedal, because it was manufactured in japan.

Sticky dashboard
2009 toyota camry is burning oil.toyota did not do a recall or contact the owner that this was a known issue.i am over my "years' but within the mileage.they will not place/rebuild the motor.
The sun visor will not stay up. It drops and hangs down blocking the driver's visibility while driving.
I received 1st notice from toyota motor regarding factory waranty extension because of sticky dashboard about 2 years ago. I received 2nd notice last spring and brought my car to toyoto service and verified that my car dashboard need to be repkaced. The put the line for replacement and they were going to notify me. It was april 2016. When i called sevice after several months they said it back order and waiting for the parts. Then i decided to call toyoto motor custemer service and they said my order was in the line and within 6months it will be in service. I said ok. Two dats ago i called touoto motor and ask when my dashboard will be delivered. They said they don't know it is back order. They said i am going to be notified. I wanted to talk their maneger . They said their mabager will call me. Today i have received call. She repeated same things. It is backorder they don't know when my dashboard will be replaced. I am very frustrated now. I don't thing that they have plan to satisfy their customer. They just act like they taking care the issue because if court order. I searcged many toyoto owner are waiting for toyoto services call them fir dashboard replacement but i belive that they don't have any serious action. Goverment offices myst start investigation and clarify what action and how many cars dashboard problem have been solved after the court order. It was safety problem and my government should push toyoto to solve this issue. I will try to find the court, the federal judge and inform that toyoto lying many toyoto owner and they don't take serious action to solve it. Their only answer the it is backorder part. You have to order that how many cars' dashboard have veen replaced over kast 2 years. The number will give idea how much they considerthis issue seriously. It is big safety issue because of shiny dashboard.
My dashboard is melting and causes a constant glare that obstructs my view while driving.when i told toyota about this they said it was out of warranty.i have never been contacted by toyota regarding this is a possibility of happening.sunshades did not prevent the melting as it gets worse yearly and i use shades daily.toyota needs to be responsible for fixing because this puts my life as well as others in danger due to the major glare.
After repeated calls to toyota dealer about acceleration problems with only "we'll call you when parts come in" vehicleaccelerated and crashed through a metal gate causing significant damage to gate and car. Auto was tolled to collision center for evaluation. After calling toyota i was told to give problem to insurance carrier*tw
A white smoke comes from the exhaust every time i start the car.
The "dash panels" of my car is melting and it is all sticky, due to the high temperatures, which is a danger because it can cause a fire in the electrical parts that are under it.i need your immediate intervention, so that the toyota takes charge of changing this piece for free as it is a manufacturing defect
While driving at various speeds the speedometer goes to 0 even though the car is still performing and accelerating. The abs and brake lights come on. It seems like this is a known issue and should be recalled and repaired by toyota.
The entire dashboard is sticky to the touch.

Melting dash sticky shiny glare
Oil change done june 22,2015. Went to local mechanic to check all fluids before drive to tampa. Oil level very low. Had oil added on august22 ,2015.on october 27, 2015 inoticed a red light on left side of dashboard saying maint reqd.google says time for oilchange. Sticker from toyato says next oil change 95,330 miles, im only 94,100 or close.is there a recall. I contacted toyota customer service and was told that there was an oil problem, windshield wiper and sun visor problem, which i had not recognized the oil problem. I thought the dealership had just neglected to put the right amount of oil in doing the oil change. Prior to problem i received possible recall notice for something else . Campaign # id#15v577 reference # 878051.i will be calling toyota (autonation) in pinellas park about problem.the light comes on whenever i start up the engine and stays on for about 2 to 3 minutes while driving.
On wednesday, january 27,2016i got out of my car,opened the trunk, took some things out, tried to close it, it bounced up. I found out the trunk lock pad would not lock, i was told to order a door lock actuator integrated with a latch. Received it, put it on and it did the same thing.this could cause more damage to the car and injury to a person especially if it happens in route. Put new part on and it wont lock. Feel its defective and toyota should have to altar the situation.
Sun visor flopping loose.will not stay up & is blocking my driving vision.there was a recall on it & toyota said it is not broken however, it was broken. Now they said recall expired in 2015. & want $145 to fix it. The sunvisor is blinding my eye site when i drive.
Dashboard melt - dash when heated by sun or temperature -melts and turns into a glossy glue consistance which reflects on windshield and prohibits sight thru the glare - prevents driver sight and safety paper sticks to it and so does any flying bugs, trash, or other objects it comes in contact with.you cannot see on coming traffic or navigate turns safely.
11/01/2015 @ 10:05am on maryland route 29 north, route 40 exit. Car speed around 30 mph - slowly exiting on ramp. Suddenly, four distinct beeps were heard and car accelerated without warning. Lost steering and control over speed - car zig/zagged. Stepped on brake as hard as i could - car eventually came to a stop. Road condition was slightly damp after light rain. Luckily, no other car was around. Taking the vehicle to trusted mechanic to have it evaluated for safety concerns.
Dashboard is sticky, gummy and peeling off. I found out there was a recall on this and they extended the warranty to august 30, 2018. I bought the car from a dealer in august 2017 with the problem existing but didn't know there was a recall. Toyota informed me today that they sent a notice to owners in 2014 but i didn't own the car in 2014 so never received the notice. Is there anyway to get this covered? it's gross. I can't find any way to fix it without tearing the dashboard out and replacing it myself and i'm not good at that. I can send you pictures of the nastiness. The form asks when this happened. I bought it with the problem and dealer said there was nothing they could do about it.
I have called my local toyota dealer to report a sticky, melting dashboard.i called several months ago to report this but it was stated that no recalls were out on this.i saw on the news last week about this same issue and i called again on 8/5/2019 and was told again that no recalls were out.i use a sun guard for my windshield but that only helps minimally. My dashboard has been melting for about 3 months and i have no solutions.how do i proceed to do something about this?
Fax fwd on behalf of re his 2009 toyota camry used in several tv news reports re unintended acceleration, his vehicle was tested by toyota for 8 days and results were sent to nhtsa, requesting a copy of results, reply to new york, ny ofc. *tgwtoyota could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.
On my vehicle, my dashboard has developed a sticky residur on the entire dashboard. It appears that the dashboard has began to melt. Ive attempted to clean, etc with no positive results. This sticky residue has a substantial glare emitting off it that sometimes inpairs my visibility and often times creates a reflection on windshield hindering vision when ooerating vehicle. Second note is every sense this has began and gotten worse my car interior now has a distinct smell. Unsure what the smell is but it smells like an odor of a hot plastic material. My interior has been detailed rrc and the smell when not go away. I contacted toyota because there has been numerous lawsuits and recalls in the past. I was toyota will not fix because the recall had expired. If its creates unsafe driiving conditions, how can they put an expiration on the fix.the condition of dashboard i believe was created by a defective dashboard not made to withstand humidity or heat. Toyota knows this is a problems, but refuses to help loyal toyota owners, like myself. I am very displeased with how they handled this.in the picture attached. The sun is overhead, so the reflection not bad but still visible. Look at bottom of windshield and you will see the reflection.
I didnt receive a notice on recall of dashboard. My dashboard is sticky and has cracked. Clearly needs replacing. Please respond so we can get this matter resolved. Started few years ago.
The dashboard has become exceedingly sticky. It is very distressing to say the least. A fly got stuck on it the other day and using a kleenex to remove it was a major mistake. However, the most upsetting consequence is the safety hazard created by shiny/reflection onto the windshield that is most concerning. I have inquired at toyota what can be done and their only recommendation was to use a cleanser made for dashboards. Needless to say, it did not work.
Dashboard defect, melting. Over time it has become increasingly difficult to see while driving. Especially when sunny there is a glare in the window. Wearing sunglasses only helps minimally.
The brake and abs light are on, the speedometer and rpm meter goes to 0 when i was driving at 40 mph. It also happened when i was stopped in park.the a/c also don't work.the fault is intermittent.
Stickness of dashboard,the shiny/reflective surface
I have been concerned about my camry's dash board. It has become very disturbing due to it literally melting. I can't even touch my dash board without my fingers and hands getting stuck to it. My car is a daily driver but the texas heat has ruined what i try to keep in pristine condition.
Takata recall 1) the stickyness of the dashboard, and (2) the shiny/reflective surface the dashboard creates, as a safety hazard. My teenage daughter has had the sticky residue cause difficulty in decision making with reflection. We are very concerned with her safety!we purchased this car in march 2017 from a retired owner.
Melting dashboard
2009 camry hybrid melting dashboard.this is a safety issue as one can't see incoming traffic or pedestrians when driving into the sun.i have been in few close call incidents where i couldn't see pedestrians or traffic infront of me.please recall this problem with the melting/cracking dashboard.
Toyota is aware that they manufactured this car and others with a defective dashboard. They have already been sued for this. The melted dashboard causes a glare in the window making driving unsafe and people have been in accidents. Plus, the goey dashboard may cause the airbags to fail. Rather than recalling the defective cars and replacing the dashboards on all these cars, toyota chose to offer a 10 year warranty. First of all, i never received notification of this warranty, but it would not have made any difference if i would have, because the problem occurred in my car 2 months after the 10 year warranty expired. Car brakes wear out, tires need replacing, dash boards are not suppose to melt! i imagine toyota expects the dashboards to melt in most cars after 10 years and this is why they offered a 10 year warranty. They can now profit from their own manufacturers defect.
The dashboard is melting and sticky and has a glare the comes off of it.
Driver's side sun visor constantly droops and sags, unable to maintain closed position.u.s. Made camrys were subject to recall.this subject camry was made in japan imported to u.s.

I was travel on the belt around richmond (295)headed south at approx. 70 mph and the back window was slightly cracked open.there was an explosion like sound going off and then i noticed that there was a hole in my sun roof. This occurred on 19 oct 2017 @ 1800hrs.i looked for a rock or any other object that could have caused it and nothing was found.
The dashboard appears to be melting.it is sticky to the touch.
The dashboard has been progressively melting. It is sticky and reflects a glare in the windshield.
I purchased a new 2009 toyota camry se, after owning ten toyota vehicles since 1978. I still own four today! i have never experienced anything like this issue in another car. In 2014-2015 (estimated) my entire dash board became sticky, as if i had poured oil on it. Today it releases a thick sticky residue onto the front windshield when parked in the sun. This makes the dash impossible to wipe... As towels, sponges, even leaves, etc., get stuck to it (see pics). I can't drive my car without first wiping the inside of the windshield each time it is parked in the sun, or this residue makes it opaque (see pics...after wiping it). This situation is exacerbated when driving towards the sun (see pics) and is a safety issue!! i'm concerned how the deteriorated condition of my dash affects the deployment of the passenger airbag or if it still even operates correctly?on 8/16/19, i discovered that toyota extended its warranty to ten years from the original purchase date. Mine was 7/29/09...putting me only two weeks out of their 10-year warranty coverage. Toyota corporate and my dealership told me they could not offer any assistance in my case ("1 day or 1 mile over warranty and we won't help"). When challenged, toyota could not confirm letters were mailed to all affected owners, only that an effort was made to send letters to some owners in 2015. Multiple models over several years are involved. I spent 8 hours on the phone appealing their decision, without success. A new dashboard costs $2600.00 (installed)!! i reported this issue here because it is a manufacturing/safety issue resulting from toyota's use ofsub par materials...like defective windshield wipers...if you can't see out of your windshield at freeways speeds because of the glare from your dashboard, or the residue stuck on your windshield...you are at risk of an accident. Please contact me if you have questions?
My dashboard panel is melting in my car. The dashboard is completely sticky and everything that falls on it gets stuck and i cannot get it off the dashboard. I try to clean my car and cannot do anything to the dash. I try to wipe it down with water and a towel, but it just pulls the lint off a microfiber towel and it gets stuck. It is really irritating and i hope toyota fixes my problem and takes responsibility for its defects. My entire family drives toyota's and if they do not fix this issue, we will no longer have any ties with toyota.
The dashboard is melting and has been for several years.i have never received any notice regarding this problem.
The dashboard of the car is melting and is very shiny and sticky. When the sun or headlights hit the windshield it is blinding and i can't see. I have tried to clean it with hot soapy water, as i was instructed, but it will not come off.
Dashboard is completely melting ,scraping off
As i was pulling into my car space at work, my 2009 camry accelerated without warning and surged into the brick wall of a building.
Sticky dashboard, melting dashboard that has made also moved some stickiness onto the windshield reducing visibility.
The interior dashboard is melting
I parking lot.put car into drive and pressed the accelerator to pull out of parking space.car accelerated quickly and stopped when car hit telephone pole.due to short distance car travel, was unable to apply brake before hitting the telephone pole.
Dash board melting. Causes glare on windshield. And is very sticky
At intermittent times, most noticeably while braking or turning or both, warning light and sound activates. Checked just recently, no oil on dipstick. Suspect excessive oil consumption manufacturer defect on my year and model which is not being addressed by toyota.
I'm an owner of a toyota camry 2009 my name is [xxx]i have just learned today that there is a recall and i'm asking for help with the oil problem.i'm adding quarts of oil and before the maintenance date for an oil change i am being told there's no oil in your engine.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle dashboard is melting amd cracking. I am extremely concerned about the melting because the dashboard is now extremely shiny amd the reflection makes visibility limited, especially when the sun is directly hitting it. I also fear that the cracks have possibly damaged the airbag itself, meaning if it were to ever deploy will it deploy correctly. This started years ago, and after some research i found where a recall was issued. However toyota never notified me, they mail the corresponding information to the previous owner. This was verified when i called toyota directly. They wouldn't take ownership of the mistake or the safety issue and advised me they won't fix it because the recall is expired. I'm confused how a safety recall can expire when real drivers, like myself, are still having these issues because many of these cars are still on the road. My car is a 2009 toyota camry se with only 120k miles. Still alot of life left, so they should be held accountable amd fix these safety issues for consumers.
My camry dashboard melted such that it is now reflective like a mirror or glass onto my front window.the glare on the front window is unsafe for clear viewing.this happened after the warranty expired on may of 2018.but, a safety issue caused by a melting of the dashboard should not have a limit to it's necessary repair by toyota. I have videos of the danger, but your only accepting jpgs below.
Last year on august 2012, my car stop running and i brought to one of the mechanic that towed and fixed my water pump.this year, i brought my car to toyota dealer for some recalls and find out that my antifreeze is entered to my water pump again and need to replace with new one... Total cost will be more than 650.00 dollars.i wonder if there any recall for this matter before or do i have to deal with the same problem every years!!! please investigate this problem.thanks
Dashboard has melted and cracked, making a terrible glare on the windshield. I recently realized that many with this make/madel vehicle have had the same issue
First to fail was the speedo after the abs and brake light came on. No actual brake problem but the lack of speedometer is unsafe. Abs unit essentially controls instrument cluster..not necessary or safe plus dealer repair part approx $1800.00.
My dashboard is melting and creating a glare making driving unsafe. It is hard to see out of the windshield because of this glare.
Dashboard became sticky and melted into a glob which hinders my ability to see and i called in 2017 to have it replaced and was told i was a month too late which is ridiculous. It's progressed even more in the past three years to the point i had to put something on it to make the glare go away. It looks so tacky and i believe they should fix it.
Motor oil light does not come on indicating that my oil is low or out.i have driven my car with absolutely no motor oil in it, because the light did not come on letting me know that i was out of motor oil.this has happened ever since i purchased the car in 2009.
My dashboard is extremely shiny and sticky.when it''s sunny out, the glare is so strong that it's difficult to see the road.very scary at 60 mph.i live in sunny south florida, so this is a problem 90% of the time.
Very sticky dashboard that is shiny and blindning
Dashboard is extremely sticky. The glare from the dashboard at times is almost a distraction. Was told there was a recall some time ago, but was never made aware or notified from toyota
While driving, on braking, the vehicle started making a grinding/rubbing noise appearing to come from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The noise seemed as if the vehicle engine/motor was going to seize up or something would break inside.slowly took it to a local tire kingdom repair shop who would not do anything once they started the vehicle and were alarmed by the engine noise. Advised to take it to an engine repair shop. Slowly, cautiously drove home and parked. On starting the vehicle in the garage, next day, the engine seems to run fine on parked and neutral. On shifting to drive or reverse the rubbing/grinding noise begins again. Have been restrained to sitting at home instead of doing my ride sharing and delivery work. Recently had the timing chain and cam shaft gear replaced.
The dashboard on the 2009 toyota camry is a danger for any owner. With the dashboard being sticky/melting, when light hits the dashboard it causes major blind spots that could cause major accidents. This is unacceptable for any automobile to be on the road when you could potentially run over people or hit other vehicles when the glare from the melting dashboard reflects off the windshield.

Bumper to bumper traffic during rush hour; dodge truck w/trailer hitch stopped on a dime; i ran into back of truck; but then my car lunged forward on its own accord and i hit thetrucka second time.i had my foot on the brake and it lunged!car is in the shop but i still have not found out what the cost of damage will be or the time frame for repairs.it has lunged before; but i have not been in an accident before this because of the sudden acceleration.
Toyota camry 2009. When dash heats up it starts shinning and cause glare on windshield, it causes obstructive vision to the driver's visibility of the roadway. In addition, the material on the dashboard would become very sticky and appeared to be melting. Glare is a safety issue and should be recalled.
Motor oil is burning excessively i have to check the oil every weekend andthe dealer says is normal, i think is not normal to keep adding oil when there is no leak. Dashboard is practically melting it was reported back in may because in the summer time it gets very sticky the dealer says it will take months or a year before they could fix it.radio has a malfunction it was replaced back in 2014 because the screen turn black and not able to turn it on or off. In 2016 the radio is having problems again for the same reason and the dealer won't replace it anymore because the warranty is finished.
Excessive engine oil consumption (extremely bad).
My toyota camry dashboard is melting, and becoming sticky and gooey.there's a glare that reflects on the windshield from the shiny dashboard, which creates visibility challenges while driving. I was never notified of the recall back in 2014.
My camry burns oil excessively. I took their oil consumption test three times and each time they told me i passed yet before 2500 miles i had little to no oil in my engine. My sister had the same problem yet on the 5th time they replaced her engine now they tell me my vehicle is out of the warranty standards
Dash is melting with the az heat. Looks terrrible.

Ltr fwd on behalf of (ny) re recent toyota vehicle recalls, owner of a 2009 toyota camry seeking help to get toyota to allow recalled vehicles to be returned by dissatisfied & personal safety concerned owners, reply to hauppauge, ny ofc. *tgw
My passenger side visor just broke about a month ago. It's a 2009, but purchased in 2008. Finally got my dashboard replaced last week alf asked about the visor. Toyota says they won't fix it since its passed the warranty time. I don't understand why not since it's a known issue, and dangerous to drive with it down all the time. I've loved my camry, but to spend over $100 to fix the visor is steep.
My dashboard is melting.the glue is oozing through the top and now restricts my forward visibility when driving during the day.it is very sticky/reflective and i am concerned that now i cannot see all objects in front of me.if the sun is at the right angle it is blinding.
This incident happened over time and was noticed approximately 4 years back. I just didn't know i could do anything about it until today when i googled "how to treat toyota shiny sticky/melted dash board". I've contacted toyota and they said they have sent out a letter stating that there was a warranty extension to anyone experiencing this issue. The problem was that as an owner i did not receive any notification of this warranty. I've had very visual distraction when driving in the direction of the sun. The dashboard is constantly being damaged when wiped with a clean/wet cloth. Toyota now states i am out of luck because i missed the warranty by 13 business days. This is a horrendous business practice to not replace a known issue. It has become a hazard on the road and should not be taken lightly.
The dash is melting and causes a glare night and day. It's like it is high gloss. I was never sent anything in the mail about this issue. I have two camrys and both are the same. This started in 2016, i thought the people at auto bell screwed my car up for a couple years until i stopped by the toyota dealership.
I own a 2009 toyota camry.in 2013 or 2014 toyota repaired the drivers side sun visor. Now the passenger side sun visor is drooping, it hangs freely and will not remain in either the up or down position.toyota says they can't repair this since the car is more than five years old.
Sticky dash 'notification' or lack thereof, i called toyota today to ask about this problem, since the car is 3 months out of the secondary warranty i'm screwed and stuck with a sticky, stinking (costly -$1600) mess. I've tried cleaning in with numerous products safe for the material to no avail, thinking it was something on it. I decided today to google and see if i could find a cleaner/resolution to my problem. I work long hours and honestly didn't think it could be a defective dash.the dash has even started to crack. I live in hot, humid alabama and picking dead flies etc from the sticky mess isn't an easy or enjoyable job. I think toyota should replace this dash immediately, this car is finally paid for and now this ... Arghhh what a pain !

2009 toyota camry gas pedal recall not right,computer reprogram not working.
Toyota recently announced that the cars on their lots were fixed and ready to be sold. Still no notice about bringing your car in. Is this a tacit acknowledgement that they fixed their cars before they are fixing the cars of those of us at risk.

I purchased a 2009 camry hybrid this past summer and within a month, noticed problems with occasional braking and acceleration issues.i originally thought that perhaps this was the hybrid technology, but at times i have experienced some near misses and have been very concerned with the recent reports of lost life.i filed a complaint on the toyota.com website on february 9th, 2010 and have received no response since then.i am disappointed that the camry hybrid was not included with the latest prius recall and feel that toyota needs to investigate what i believe to be a software/electronics issue.i have been in software development and sales for the past 15 years and have never been in a car accident since receiving my license.but since purchasing this car, my first toyota, i do not feel as safe as i have in my gm's and ford's over the years.what i am experiencing is a forward lurch when braking from 50 mph to a quick stop/traffic light and the gas engine is engaged.when brake is applied, the car slows, then there is a quick revving of the engine, then an upshift prior to a downshift when the electronics/battery takes over. This has caused some near misses from a rear end collision, as the car appears to stop, but then lurches forward. I have also experienced this forward lurch, when accelerating at higher speeds (30-50 mph)from a stop light, as if there is a delay between the electronics to the gas engine. This has caused the car to accelerate rapidly on occasion, causing me to brake to slow it down.please have this software defect looked into, as i believe this recent recall should include the camry hybrids as well and as soon as possible.

While merging onto i-5 i pushed the resume speed selection on speed control. The car sped up and exceeded the preset speed of 59 mph and reached 80 mph. Neither applying the brakes or pushing the speed controls on/off switch turned the speed control off. I turned the key off and on to control the steering and used the parking brake to get the car to the shoulder. This was a very freighting experience so i just sat there for a while. I started the car and the engine a couple times and rpms went to the red line. The floor mat was laying flat and hooked. I looked under hood and nothing looked unusual. I started the engine again and it ran normally. I phoned the dealer's service dept, and they said it was probably the floor mats and a recall notice was in the works. We have driven the car about 5000 miles since incident, but we don't use the speed control. I am scheduled to have the accelerator pedal replaced this week.

Accelerator gets stuck open. I took my foot off the gas and the vehicle accelerated. It would rev at high speeds when i stepped on the brake. I tried downshifting with no effect. When i finally stopped at a stoplight with both feet on the brakes the engine revved up to very high rpms, even when i put the vehicle in park. Then it finally stalled out.
Was driving on the freeway. Car had cruise control on and i stepped on the brakes and disengaged it and continued driving. When i pressed the resume button to get back on cruise control, the car accelerated about 7 mph past the set speed and i had to slam on the brakes and repeatedly press the c.c. Cancel button to stop extra acceleration. I understand some people may think it's the car speeding up to get to the speed quickly, which it did, but then it just kept accelerating and the motor was whining like it was really trying to race off. This happened about a half a dozen times before i stopped using the c.c. All together. When i called the dealership i was told it was that the car was "zippy" because it was a v6 and it is the cruise control speeding up to the last set speed. No parts were ever fixed on it. I ended up selling it last year after owning it around 9 months.

On nov 23, my wife had an accident in her 2009 camry. She was pulling into a parking space when the car accelerated. The car continued to accelerate with the brake on. The car has been cosmetically fixed ($9500). We have no faith in this recall for gas pedal. There is much more here, a sensor or computer failure.toyota has still not fixed our car because they do not have recall parts yet. They also said they were going to install break over-ride software when that becomes ready. Please continue your investigation. I feel we have not heard the last about this issue.

I have a 2009 camry.i know about the recall for the acceleration problem. This is a similar problem that is different, but actually could be related perhaps.if i set mycruise control for example at 65 (or any speed) and i brake the cruise control deactivates.if i slow to lets say 35 to go through town, and then hit resume, the car accelerates very fast until it gets to 65 again.this acceleration is so fast that you often need to re-brake to re establish control of the car.this has been a constant problem with the 2009camry.i have another vehicle dodgethat gradually gains speed when i hit resume and have had a 96 camry with cruise that had a gradual return to the preset speed. The cruise control on the camry is dangerous and far faster than i would ever accelerate from 35 to 65 on my own.

We have an intermittent reoccurring issue when vehicle us driven before full warm-up (10 minutes or longer).the issue is when accelerating from a zero rpm (stop light) scenario, the vehicles rpms go up high,but the the car moves very slowly.as if it's not in sync with the gas pedal when being pressed. Transmission failure has been tested and not noted.due to the intermittent nature of the problem, we have taken drastic measures, such as installing a remote start to bring vehicle to temperature before driving.this could be extremely dangerous if the cut out of the acceleration happens when merging onto a highway or causing rear impact to unsuspecting drivers.car has been inspected at local dealer, where they were not able to replicate the issue, but i want this documented shall any accident ever occur due to speed control failure.

While stopped at a traffic light, the engine of my 2009 toyota camry raced uncontrollably.while keeping the car braked, i shifted first to neutral and then to park, during which time the engine simply continued to accelerate further.once in park, i turned off the ignition and everything shut off.after this, i was able to get the car to the dealer (champion toyota, philadelphia, pa), which performed the recall repairs (gas pedal and computer reprogram) immediately. *dt
We started noticing that the car would accelerate slowly. It was so slight we couldn't tell at first. I would take my foot off the gas pedal and notice that the mph would increase very slowly. I thought that was weird but the incidents would be so far apart. I would not catch it doing it again literally for months. Until one sunday we were on the freeway, my husband was driving, we were talking when i looked out the window and noticed the trees going by really fast. As i was telling him to slow down and he was telling me that he hadn't been pressing his foot to the pedal a constable pulled us over for speeding. We had been doing 88mph. We were not in a rush to get anywhere. This car continues to do it every so often. We have complained twice to the dealer. They once kept it for a week to check. They found nothing, which doesn't surprise me because it only happens once every couple of months or more and it is very slow at it. The toyota dealer shaved the pedal and told me not to use a second mat. I did that. They told me not to worry about it. Well the car still accelerates on its own from time to time. I notice it when i wonder why i am going so fast when i have not been pressing hard on the pedal. My feet are in good condition and i am only a women's size 8 so that can't be the problem. I wonder if they are waiting for the car to accelerate faster and more often and if i have to have an accident before toyota will hear me.to tell the truth i am beyond mad. We have had a 1994 camry which reached more than 200,000 miles on just oil changes, tune ups and minor repairs and a 1994 celica that we still own. They were great cars so when we bought a 2009 camry we expected the same quality. We are beyond disappointed at this point but we are stuck. And the fact that my car is defective and it's not my fault and no one wants to do anything about it makes me stark raving mad.

Re 2009 toyota camry le with 62,100 miles; assembled in either georgetown ky, lafayette or indiana: the brake actuator assembly failed, resulting in the illumination of various warning lights and the "rpms started bouncing communication code u0073," according to the dealership.in a 2012 and 2013 recall for different toyota vehicles, the record about this same failure states "(a)n electrical component within the actuator may experience an increased resistance resulting in the illumination of various warning lights, including those for the vehicle stability control (vsc) system, antilock brake system (abs), and traction control system...[meaning] these systems could become inoperative, reducing the directional control assistance, increasing the risk of a crash."
I had picked up a passenger about 1 1/2 hours from my home. I was returning home & noticed that the gas pedal was accelerating even tho i was pressing the brake. I couldn't stop the car& a curvy road was ahead along with a cliff. My option was to go over the cliff or go into possible oncoming traffic to try to stop the vehicle. I opted to try to turn the car into a nearby driveway. Luckily no oncoming traffic was close enough to hit my car as i did this. The driveway was slanted & as i turned into the driveway i smacked into a snow bank which tore my front bumper off. Luckily there were no personal injuries. I reported this to toyota & my insurance ( at the time of the accident i had heard about a toyota recall having to do with gas pedal but it had been a while & i hadn't received notification of the recall affecting my vehicle). My personal car insurance covered the $3000 worth of damage to the bumper radiator, grill, etc. Over 4 years later & i stillhaven't recovered my deductible from toyota for a known defect in the pedal!had i been notified timely of the recall affecting my vehicle this could have been avoided! instead, i had to cover the cost to repair damage out of my pocket & i had whiplash for a few weeks caused by a known issue toyota knew of! i'm furious & disappointed that i chose a toyota!

I purchased a toyota camry 2009 in august of 2009; i notice immediately sudden acceleration several times while driving at average 55 mph in a highway with increasing in speed without stepping in the gas pedal; i could hear a low pitch sound like a cordless drill will sound like and eventually the speed will increase at first got really scared of the sudden acceleration specially when approaching cars in the highway, several times i had to step in the break pedal with force to kind of kill the boost. I also notice that in the surface street experience this jerkingness kind of like a wild bull that wants to push forward without insertingenergy to move forward it happen several times while in stop signs or waiting to merge in the flow of traffic; again what i will do is forcefully step in the brake to stop the sudden acceleration. After driving the vehicle for more than 5 months i can predict the behavior and thankfully abort the sudden acceleration. But many times it does scares me specially when approaching cars ahead. I have a family of 5 with 3 small children. My spouse and kids do not want to ride in the car with me for the reasons stated above.

When i just drove on the highway, the rpm went up so quickly and suddenly, and even i stepped on the brakes several times. But the rpm had never been go down and stop. So i made the decision to make the transmission shift to neutral, and it worked at that time. At that time, i was in like country side in fort gordon, georgia, and now i'm in south korea to perform the duty here. At that time of that incident, i thought it could happen maybe one time.. Very one time.. However, when i read the current newspaper article.. I feel very terrible about this.. Because now my wife and my 3year old son ride in toyota camry.. (that's the only one car in our household).. What if there would be a same happening to my wife and my son.. I was o.k. Because the highway i drove on was almost no traffic.. As i mentioned earlier, i lived in country side ft. Gordon, georgia.. But after i got the duty station in south korea, i relocated my family back to los angeles county, california.. (that's where i came from) i know my wife once told me.. She felt little bit more acceleration when she drove toward down slope.. She had to do the samething, put the transmission shift to the neutral.. What if this kind of incident would be happened in a heavy traffic.. Man.. I wish that i would have a total solution for this.. I know that i can't return the car, right?

I own a 2009 toyota camry hybrid purchased new 4/3/2008.at the end of march, 2009, i had the first of four (thus far) accelerator runaway events.i was able to stop the car by applying extremely hard brake pressure with both feet, taking several seconds to stop the car as it fish-tailed wildly on the road.a couple of days later, it happened again. My car was at the dealership 4/3/2009. They told me this accelerator runaway was caused by my floor mat causing the gas pedal to stick. I removed the floor mat.approximately 6 weeks later, the accelerator runaway event happened twice more.the floor mat was not in the car. I have called toyota, been treated like i was delusional and then as the public outcry/press releases began later in 2009, contacted toyota again. I finally got my scheduled recall (at my persistance--the dealerships never called me to schedule this) then after i requested details of the planned recall changes, i found out after my appointment they said my vehicle qualified only for them to cut down my gas pedal. No shim assembly to the gas pedal and no software update as i was told "you already have the most current software".really?! my now mutilated gas pedal allows my foot to constantly slip off of it while driving as it is so small. I am scared of my vehicle as there was never a warning pre-accelerator runaway & there is no "fix" either.not that i would trust toyota at this point. I have copies of all service tickets, including the 4/3/2009 ticket with my complaint of the gas pedal sticking" written on it. This is available to you as well as a detailed four page letter outlining every step of my events. I sent an email & rec'd a response from you, titled notification of case change/case escalation, case no. [xxx].i called in & spoke with a representative and he gave me a case no. Too.telephone call case #[xxx].please advise my next step. Thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Gas pedal stuck while on interstate highway i-75, traveling at 60mph. When i stepped down on the accelerator in order to pass another vehicle the accelerator pedal stuck down.the vehicle began to accelerate even after i removed my foot from the pedal.i was then able to free the pedal by wedging my foot underneath the pedal and pushing up on the pedal.this has happened after my vehicle as recalled for unintended acceleration and the safety recall repair was completed on 2/11/10.

On 1/27/10,my husband was driving the car. He slowed down because the road was rough & had curves ahead. When he took the foot off the gas pedal we accelerated forward instead of slowing down. No one was injured just surprised. It went to the dealership that week for testing.the recall was done 2/15/10.on 2/18/10 the car accelerated again. This time i was driving the car. I was going towards a 4 way intersection, i let off the gasthinking it was going to slow down, instead it went faster. The recall did not fix the problem. The car went back to the dealership but nothing was found wrong. It meet all of toyota's testing.the problem is still there, they did not know how to fix it.
I'm complaining about the recall back in dec. When i first learned about it i called my dealership hubert vester's toyota of wilson where i brought my car from to set up a appointment to have it checked. The guy in service dept. Asked if i received a letter and i haven't and thats why i was calling to schedule a appt. They stated that if i haven't received than more than likely my toyota was not one that was being recall. I was satisfied with that answer i then called customer and asked them or for them to make sure. Before i continue driving on the road. They assured me that my vin#was not one of them. I also had a oil change on 01/21/10 and tire inspection noone mention it either. Okay so today (03/09/10) in the mail i received a letter stating that i need to have my car taken to the dealership for the recall. 4 months later i been riding on the road endanger my life and my family life. I just think that toyota should have handle this better and i'm highly disappointed.

I was in a 2009 toyota camry that was involved in a crash. I was in a 35 miles zone, going uphill and well within the limit, but when i applied the brakes, the car didn't really slow down enough to not crash into the vehicle that didn't yield at the traffic signal. I didn't think much about it then, since the other driver admitted fault, but it could possibly have been because of a defect with the car's acceleration. Thankfully no one sustained any significant injuries since the airbags got deployed in the camry. I wouldn't have thought much of the incident, but the news of the recalls just makes me believe that the problem was with the car's acceleration and nothing else.
While driving at various speeds the speedometer goes to 0 even though the car is still performing and accelerating. The abs light comes on and the dealer said that the abs actuator needs to be replaced. It seems like this is a known issue especially with the hybrid model and should be recalled and repaired by toyota

2009 toyota camry - excessive acceleration and abrupt change in transmission when cruise control tries to catch up with the set speed limit after a dip in speed- toyota tech saw the problem, accepts that its happening - toyota's response "get used to it".
I was in a parking lot of a shopping complex and i was trying to look for a parking spot. There was a parking spot between 2 cars on the right side, i slowly turned right into the spot, the car was in the spot and the car was straight and my leg was on the brakes. Unexpectedly the car started accecelerating on its own, then the car with great speed climbed up the curb and hit the hair salon shop. The shop had 2-3 feet high brick wall and main door and other things are made with glass and metal frames. The car smashed the wall and glass door completely and landed inside the shop. I had to press the brakes really hard and finally it stopped there was a tire burning smell, i saw there was big drag tire mark on the shop floor. The air bags did not open. Fortunately nobody was injured nor there was any damages to other cars in the parking lot. I had received a recall letter from toyota 1-2 months back and it indicated that the driver side floor mat can interfere with the gas pedal and it had suggested to remove the floor mat and keep it in the trunks until further notice. Then i had removedall the floor mats and were in the trunk at the time of accident.it is a 2009 toyota camry bought new and did regular maintenance at toyota dealership.the car is now in 355 toyota dealership in maryland and toyota has opened a case and are investigating the case on 01/19/2010.
On march 9, 2010 i took my 09 toyota camry in for the floormat recall and to have the cruise control looked at for an acceleration issue. When the cruise control slows down it will kick into about 5,000 rpm's for about 10 seconds and put me at least 10 mph over the speed i set it to. (which is usually when i turn it off!!!) when i picked my car up at the end of the day i noticed that my gas pedal has been shaved off at the bottom making it very short and difficult to drive with plus my floor mats had not been modified as i was told they should have been. I was also told that the problem with my cruise control could not be duplicated but to bring my car back if i have problems in the future. I was then told that it is 'normal' for toyota cars to rapidly accelerate with the cruise control on (at 5,000 rpms??? really???)and that a 5-8 mph difference in the speed you set the cruise control at is also 'normal'. I just looked up the kbb on my car and think i might be able to get out of it without a loss. I am seriously considering it.

I have a toyota camry 2009. My car went through the recall services,toyotahad for the acceleration problems through one of their dealers. However, on 02/08/2013, i was involved in an accident, wherein i felt this problem myself. On a busy road i may have been driving between 35-40 mph, when all of a sudden, when i applied brakes, my car wouldn't stop but accelerated to maybe double the speed and hit the car in front of me. It appeared as if there are no brakes in the car.the impact was so severe, that i am still nervous and shaken up with the incident.the person driving the car i hit, thought i was speeding. But it definitely was the acceleration problem. This problem has not yet resolvedand could lead to many more accidents. I havereported this problem to toyota dealership and on their suggestion to the toyota customer experience team.i was extremely lucky, that there were nophysical injuries in the accident, but it could have been fatal.

But my wifewas driving when it was involve in an accident on november 18, 2009 due that either the gas pedal stuck or the brakes didn't work properly, that caused a crash to the other cars rear. We have taken to don mcgill toyota of katy for repair that cost me $3,850.00 for that damage on the front end. The questions is does my car have the same problem that toyota has recalled? i would like to someone give me same answers on it.

Problem description:2009 toyota camry, brake light and abs turn on, rpm and speedometer stop working intermittently, and a/c also seems to work intermittently.it is the same issue shown here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtgabjrfdsit is dangerous because you have intermittent use of your dashboard sensors.the dealership wants to replace the entire abs hydraulic system for the cost of $3000.this seems to be a well documented problem.
Toyota camry 2009 would not accelerate from a stopped position at a traffic light, causing my car to get stuck perpendicular in the middle of rush hour traffic. Four days previous to this incident the accelerator was repaired according to the recall. The car was towed to the dealer where the accelerator no longer showed any problems and they denied there was an issue with the car.
On driving out of a parking lot, i suddenly felt a vibration on the gas pedal and the car immediately accelerated and went out of control and into an embankment. I slammed on the brake and put the car into park. The car sustained damage under the front end.
My 2009 toyota camry is just over a year old and i have experienced unintended acceleration 3 times.the last time i was accelerating to pass another vehicle and when i let up on the gas pedal the car kept accelerating, the rpms shot all the way up and the brake pedal was difficult to press down.finally the brakes worked and the car slowed down, but the rpms were still very high and the engine was very loud.

Steering wheel started vibrating on reaching the speed of 60 mph. It was more prominent while driving straight while it was not as much while negotiating the bends. However, no vibration was felt at slower speeds. I have got both front and rear rotors and break pads changed recently, all wheels have been balanced and alignment done. I wonder if the manufacturer would take care to identify the cause and recommend remedy.
We leased a2009 toyota camry from performance toyota on june 22 2008 on one occasion while my husband was pulling into krogers in w chester the car accelerated when he had his foot on the brake. The next day we took the car to performance toyota and they gave us a rental. The next day they called and said the car was fixed.i did not feel safe in this vehicle and told them so but they reassured my husband and i that the car was safe. This was on 2-3-10. On 2-9-10 the car accelerated again at the fairfield mercy hosp. And about 15 min later at a stop sign in our subdivision. The next day i took the car back and told them to keep it but they said it was a lease and i could not let it there so i purchased a 2010 toyota camry which also was a disaster.

We have a 2009 camry that has intermittent issues in regard to the throttle linkage it has twice become stuck in the wide open position, we are very concerned about this issue and have been ignored by toyota personal, we feel there is a real problem with the linkage and or computerized linkage issues.
Driving on cruise control at 70mph. Engine shut down and lost all electrical power. Then after about 4 seconds car powered up again on its on & reset cruise. This has happened twice now in a span of 2 months. Brought car to dealer and they said they could not duplicate problem. Checked all connections and codes.nothing showed on scans. I asked about the etc and they said that would not cause the problem i encountered? they said if it happens again and no codes show up or check engine light,there is nothing they can do?? these are the so called tech's words of wisdom.
Below you will find the email that i sent to toyota on february 7, 2010 as well as the response i received.to this date i have not received any other communication from toyota.i truly believe that one of these safety recalls led to my car accident in november, 2009.my vehicle was included in both the floor mat and accelerator recalls.discussion threadcustomer 02/07/2010 09:51 am i had a car accident 11-30-09 which resulted in the total loss of my 2009 camry le [xxx]. Due to the closed head injury i received, i am unable to recall the accident. However, viewing the accident report, it appears my vehicle was traveling much faster than i travel on this roadway. It was noted that my side airbag did not deploy when my vehicle struck a tree on the drivers side door. Due to the recalls, i am now concerned that one of the recall issues was the cause of my accident. My car is now at a salvage yard near atlanta, ga. And i feel that toyota should be concerned enough to check my car for defects. I bought this car based on your reputation for dependability and safety, and now due to the recalls, i can't imagine buying another toyota. Perhaps my greatest concern are media reports that toyota has been aware of these problems for quite some time and chose not to notify owners. I now have to wonder about this companies ethics.

I am having a toyota camry 2009. When i was on cruise control and runs at 60miles/hr, the rpm is about 1500 rpm. During the cruise control, the rpm may accelerate to about 3000 rpm in less than 10 seconds, then immediately the rpm goes back to 1500 rpm again. During this rpm change, the speed reading remains at 60 miles/hr. The incidents happens unexpected. It seems happen more often when on up hill even with very mild slope. It also happens when it runs on very flat road. When the incident happens, it feel that the vehicle is out of control and feel very jerky. It's quite scary. I complained this to my toyota dealer with my regular maintainence quite some months ago, they said they would look into it. After quite some hours, they said that they could not replicate the incident and can not do anything about it. The way they test is to drive in metro area for about 10 mins, which is obviously not the situation i am complaining about. They said they would not do a cruise control driver for 2 hours according to their test driver procedure. They even do not able to escalate this issue to toyota manufactures! such situation happens when the car comes to me brand new. I feel desperate to communicate my concerns through toyota dealer yet every day i have such security concerns.i hope you guys can seriously look into this issue with the recent toyota recall. The floor mat explaination is rediculous and the recent gas pedal is probably still not the root cause. Please take this concerns seriously and i hope that such concerns may become public and aware to the consumers and toyota. A fix is a must. Thank you. Btw, the approximate incident date in this complaint is the last time that i dared to use cruise control. Such incident actually happens almost everytime when i used cruise control.
The car has burned oil from day one. The transmission will not downshift enough to hold motor back properly going down an incline. It won't hold back by transmission even if you down shift your self.
I got the recall took my car in to be repaired and the accelerator is still sticking i am worried that over time as the vehicle ages it will not be safe to drive.
I own a 2009 toyota camry. A couple of times it would happen that the car would accelerate by itself. I was instructed on how to stop the car in these cases. About a couple of weeks ago i took my car in to repair the recall. They said they have fixed everything, but i have experienced the same issue again. I am wondering if this issue is going to get resolved once and for all. I love my car but i don't feel safe, specially after i have heard that there have been so many other incidents, not to mention deaths caused by this.

On 2/01/10 at approximately 8:00 am i was driving my toyotaon the washington dc beltway 495 north from virginia.i was nearing 270 north and decided i had better change lanes to stay on my intended route on 495.looking in the rearview mirror i saw a tractor-trailer was in the right hand lane next to me and i needed some rapid acceleration to get ahead of the truck so i stamped on the accelerator.i stamped much harder than i normally would do.immediately my accelerator stuck to the floor and the car accelerated from approximately 65 to over 85 miles an hour.i had seen a tv report on the nbc station in dc that advised if your toyota accelerator sticks apply both feet to the brake pedal and hold it.i forgot the hold it part and i started to pump the brake, which had no effect.i also remembered that the next thing to try was put the car in neutral.this i did and the acceleration stopped immediately.i was able to coast the car off into an area, a triangle between the right lane of the beltway and an oncoming lane.i then turned off the car and physically reached down and pulled the accelerator back up.it "popped" up like a spring.i then restarted the car and continued to work.i remembered that on long trip recently to atlanta that one other time it felt like the accelerator stuck, but that time it was momentary a few seconds.on 2/21/10 the accelerator stayed down i am guessing a good 20-30 seconds before i remembered to put the car in neutral.when i got to work i called toyota usa to report the problem and they told me my car was not covered by the recall and that i should call a dealer.i called my dealer and he told me there were no parts available or even made for the camry hybrid and that he would just have to replace the accelerator assembly with the same part.he said they haven't made any new parts for the hybrid.did not sound like they cared.

My boyfriend and i were on i-94 in michigan when my parents' 2009 camry accelerated out of control.a semi truck was merging onto the expressway, so my boyfriend hit the accelerator to give the truck enough room. We were using cruise control at the time going about 70 mph, but the car continued to accelerate at a speed in excess 90 mph after the break was applied once we got around the truck. The engine was revving very loudly at this point. The break did not override the car's acceleration or cruise control even when my boyfriend stood with all of his weight on the break. After several minutes, the car finally stopped accelerating.i took the car to my local toyota dealer, assuming the problem was with the cruise control. The dealer tried to recreate the loss of acceleration control i experienced, but said they were unable to do so. The dealer mechanics inspected the cruise control wiring system, but claimed they found nothing wrong with the car. This event happened in may 2009, well before the recent increase in press coverage relating to similar incidents.
Our 2009 toyota camry hybrid has experienced three separate incidences of sudden unintended acceleration during the past nine months.the car was purchased in april of 2008.the first event occurred in february 2009.the second and third events occurred in july 2009 and october 2009, respectively.in all three events the accelerator 'grabbed' and began to speed uncontrollably.during the first event, the car continued to accelerate even after i removed my foot from the accelerator.during the subsequent two events, the car accelerated without my foot even being on the gas pedal.in all instances, it felt as if the resume button of the cruise control (which was off at all times) was depressed.speeds reached in excess of 60mph in each event.during the first two events, a combination of extreme-pressure braking and shifting the car into neutral worked to stop the car, thankfully, without incident.during the third event, after roughly five to ten seconds of acceleration, a "pop" was heard at which time the car's acceleration ceased and returned to normal.the car was taken to the dealer after each incident.all three times diagnostics were performed and all three times the same answer....."found no current or pending fault codes.'the first time it was blamed on an after-market floor mat.while one was installed, it was the type with "grabber" spikes on the underside to prevent movement, similar to a chair mat.i knew that this was not the cause but, as a precaution, i removed the after-market floor mat.for the second event, again, the dealer found no faults and, again, suggested floor mats.the only floor mat in the vehicle was the factory-installed carpeted floor mat which was secured by the factory-installed retaining hooks.floor mats were not the issue.as an extra precaution, however, i removed the carpeted mat.the third event occurred on october 22, 2009.car was taken to dealer.factory technician was brought in.no problem found.
While coming to a stop in my driveway my 2009 toyota camry had sudden surge with my feet on the brake.the car ran away and hit my house, bird baths, smoker on trailer, went into neighbors driveway and hit a van and finally came to rest in a hedge row.the physical evidence and police report show the brakes were on.the gas pedal was replaced in march under the recall.it had nothing to do with the sudden acceleration.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving at an approximate speed of 75 mph on the highway, the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The contact had to apply the brakes and switch gears in order to stop the vehicle. Upon taking the vehicle for regular maintenance, he inquired about the failure with the dealer. The dealer advised the contact that the failure was contributed to the epi. On a separate occasion, while sitting idle at a traffic light, the vehicle abnormally accelerated again. He was able to maintain control of the vehicle by depressing the brakes and switching gears. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 22, 000. The vin was not available.
On 2/24/10 recall was performed on 2009 camry toyota at orland park, il . Toyota reshaped gas pedal, added reinforcement metal barin gas pedal, removed padding under the carpet near the gas pedal to prevent interference and reprogrammed computer.the vehicle is now so loud due to outside noise and vibrations under my feet that i hear and feel everything hitting my wheels and under carriage. This is horrible.something needs to be done. Ithis purchased vehicle because of its luxurious ride and performance, it has been ruined.
Whom it may concern: my wife and i bought our 2009 camry for safety.so we could feel safe taking our children to their sporting events, school, etc.we have been experiencing the throttle stickingissue.the entire time we have had the car.first at 10,000 miles, 18,000 miles, 33,123 miles, 36,000 miles, and 38,500.my wife took the car in the third time at 33,123 miles to thompson toyota in edgewood md insisting it wasn't the floor mats.they insisted it was the floor mats even though my wife said other wise.the ran a diagnostic on the problem and couldn't find anything.they blamed it on a dirty air filter and carbon build up on the throttle body.my wife requested to be taken back and be shown this, they refused to show her the dirty throttle body.tompson toyota wanted to charge my wife $200 to perform this service. She called me and i told her to bring the car home.the fifth time it happened at 38,500 miles on the car.my wife and i were driving to the grocery story when the car accelerated to 80mph.on the last two occasions this happened the floor mats were out.*cw

Camry accelerates when it should be decelerating.perhaps more of a gear-head than most women, i recognized a slight acceleration in my camry as i let it slow down when approaching a stop.here in the prairies of illinois, a car will normally, decelerate gradually once you've removed your foot from the gas pedal and before applying a brake. However, shortly after buying my 2007 camry with 22k miles, i noticed it would slightly accelerate as it changed from a higher gear to a lower gear.i reported this problem to my toyota service dept and they "reprogrammed" the computer.this did seem to fix this problem, though it had to be done twice, and it is beginning to show signs again.other problems associated with this was the overly long sound of a higher rpm.it seems it should change gears (if it was a manual transmission, i would have changed gears)one hears the rpm and engine droning at a high levelfor an excessive period of time without shifting.i can just tell by hearing that there is an unnatural problem with the acceleration. I define natural as the former experience of knowing that the gas pedal controls the mechanical nature of the carburetor.it just seems that now there is something that supersedes or overrides that natural connection between human control and carburetor.one can tell that the system has a mind of its own, and thatsystem is susceptible to error or environment (temperature or humidity) or driving conditions.i wrote toyota a note at least a month ago that i doubted that the acceleration problem was b/c of pedal sticking and shared my story.oddly, my car does not need the pedal repaired even though it is in the same year and plant where the problem existed.however, my car still has something oddly wrong with it.i can't help but think they are connected.thank you for listening.
This concerns the current toyota sudden acceleration problem and my interpretation of the mechanism that may be at work causing these intermittent events. These cars involved have toyota's new "fly-by-wire" ignition and throttle control system, not the old manual throttle controls. The acceleration events may be coming from stray rf or electro-static discharge (esd) causing an electrical state change in one of the throttle control chip registers which then causes the sudden acceleration.the problem could also be caused by the same rf or esd, but only affect electrical control units in cars that have developed bad ground paths (which allow static charge to build up until it arcs over and zaps a chip)testing for this type for electrical fault must be done under conditions that accelerate the failure mode, ie under conditions that enhance esd occurrence and/or stray rf while changing the resistance of the ground paths to the throttle control module.as a reference point, request toyota's history on all warranty replaced failed electrical modules involved in/with throttle control for these recalled cars.a hard esd event may cause complete module failure and hence a warranty record.a "soft" esd event may cause state changes on the module chips.a comparatively high module replacement rate would be cause to investigate them and do fema stripback analysis on failed warranty units.
When attempting to brake i have occasionally had my vehicle accelerate instead of stopping. This is extremely frightening and i no longer feel safe in my vehicle, especially in light of recent news reports documenting wide spread defects for my particular model. Even when the car does not accelerate while i attempt to brake, there is a delay in the response of the braking system which is a danger in itself. My natural reflex when this happens is to step on the brake peddle with more force and more frequency which, i believe, causes excessive wear and tear on the braking system. Braking/engine problem with 2009 toyota camry.

About a month ago i was driving along and the radio got really loud for no reason for 10 seconds and then subsided.i didn't think much of this at the time, but after wednesday, i now believe it must have been related somehow.i was sitting off-road waiting for traffic to pass by in order to turn-around and begin driving south. I had just turned on the car and turned the steering wheel in order to make my approximate 175 degree turn.my foot was on the brake and the car ready to move.all of a sudden the engine revved up and the car tried lurching forward as though someone's foot was on the accelerator.i had to reassert my foot pressure on the brake in order to keep the car from moving.my foot had not left the brake, there was no person or thing trying to accelerate the car, it just occurred.the news about faulty accelerators entered my mind.there has not been any further incident at this time.

Prior to these incidents, the vehicle was checked by the dealer on their recall.i was traveling on a 2 lane highway at 60 mph with the cruise control on.i approached a slight incline in the road and the transmission downshifted as normal. Tachometer went from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm.then suddenly there was a sudden uncontrollable acceleration in which the engine revved up to 4500 rpm and the engine was screaming as though it was about to blow apart.my foot was not in contact with the accelerator pedal. The floor mat had been removed per the dealer instructions.i immediately put my foot on the brake pedal which stopped the sudden acceleration.if this had been on a wet highway or in traffic there would surely have been an accident. This same incident has occurred 4 times within the last 6 months.i took the vehicle back to the dealer and they reported that there was nothing wrong and they could not replicate the problem.after several conversations with toyota, they said that they will make a record of my incidents but, toyota will do nothing to fix the problem.this had to have been caused by the cruise control system or the computer/software controlling it.

Gas pedal stuck. Cause by the floor mat was removed and still semi sticks.*cw
On the morning of oct 22 '10 , i was on my way to work when suddenly my 2009 toyota camry accelerated, i tried applying the brakes, however to no avail.. I tried to steer the car out of the way due to it was a busy intersection ..it finally came to a stop when it crashed head on into a vehicle ( after crashing into 2 more on the way), the airbags never deployed,also note that i had taking it a few months back for the recall;i was bruised , however the mental scars which are the worse, cannot be seen, constantly thinking of what could have been, i'm reporting this incident because even though i would never want anyone to go thru what i went thru, unfortunately it will continue to happen if nothing is done about it, i am urging the nhtsa and any other entities that havethe power, to keep the roads & the public safe, this is an urgent matter and hopefully something drastic can be done before we lose more lives.
After performing a gas pedal reoperation on a 2009 toyota camry there was a constant clicking noise and a feeling detent when pressing on the accelerator after a stop. The dealer agreed with the problem and replaced the gas pedal with a new one. The new pedal is a improvement but the clicking is still coming from, i believe, the spring inside the accelerator pedal housing. The dealer said he could not do anything more. I personally removed the pedal and filled the spring cavity full with very thick lubrication grease. The noise is now about 50%gone, sometimes for a day or two but still returns eventually when i slightly press on the pedal from a stop. The spring i think has too much room to move around or is not remaining seated. This is a very annoying nuisance problem hearing this clicking that did not exist when i had the old style gas pedal.

On december 4, 2011, with my wife and returning from a visit to our children, i was driving our 2009 camry east from brooklyn in the left lane about a mile onto the jackie robinson parkway at about 4:30 p.m., visibility very good and road dry.traffic was heavy but moving about 35-40 m.p.h.when it slowed a little in front of me i put on the brake-- but the car speeded up.i repeated the braking and the car speeded up even more.these two attempted braking occurred in about 5 seconds.i saw we would crash into the car ahead. I tried to steer mainly into the space between that car and the one in the right lane so as to minimize damage to them, but the car in front of me went a little faster.our car, having hit the right-lanecar in its left rear,went past that car andinto the opened-up space and the shoulder, and into an about three-plus-foot concrete retaining wall, hitting it at an angle with the right front of our car, which mounted the wall on our right-hand wheels and came to a stop there.air bags had not deployed but tensioned seatbelts hit us hard in the chests. We managed to get my door open and get out.the car was totaled, with about 12,000 miles on it, always carefully maintained.i would add that when toyota recalled the car in 2010 i brought it in for the adjustments and was interested to learn from the mechanic at the dealership that the adjustments would take awhile because they required modifications to the car's computer.also, i as well as my wife have been driving, each of us for nearly 50 years, with exemplary records, and neither of us has ever pressed the gas pedal when we meant to step on the brakes. We are writing to you in the hope that still other toyota customers will not have to suffer the upset that we still feel, or of course worse. (i sent this to you via pdf earlier today.)
I was on a job assignment in napa valley, california.i had a rental toyota camry from national car rental.i don't have vin but license was ca.i was driving north of pt reyes on hwy 1 and decided to stop at a scenic area.i took a left off the hwy into the parking area.i was braking and approaching a parking area surrounded by large timbers as parking guards.i was nearly stopped at the timber, braking and preparing to put the transmission into park.my car suddenly lurched forward over the timber, engine roaring.because i had been preparing to put the transmission into park and did this, the car engine accelerated severely and died.my first thought was that i had been struck from behind and thrust forward but there were no other cars or witnesses.i was able to restart the car, rock a bit and move backwards off the timber.i was bewildered by the strange behavior of the car and didn't connect this event to the recent toyota problems until the recalls and tv reports.i now am sure this was an event of rapid acceleration.i was fortunate in that i had my foot on the brake and had been almost stopped when the lurch forward occurred.after experiencing this, i don't believe the problem had anything to do with the accelerator since my foot was on the brake, not the accelerator.i really wonder if electronic "cross-talk" has been ruled out as this problem seemed to be very related to electronics.

11/01/2015 @ 10:05am on maryland route 29 north, route 40 exit. Car speed around 30 mph - slowly exiting on ramp. Suddenly, four distinct beeps were heard and car accelerated without warning. Lost steering and control over speed - car zig/zagged. Stepped on brake as hard as i could - car eventually came to a stop. Road condition was slightly damp after light rain. Luckily, no other car was around. Taking the vehicle to trusted mechanic to have it evaluated for safety concerns.
While driving home with my wife in her 2009 toyota camry le and approaching a traffic controlled intersection that was still some distance away,we suddenly traveled the distance to the intersection very quickly and by the time i was able to slow the vehicle down, we were in the middle of the intersection. The result was a collision with another vehicle crossing the intersection. The other vehicle was not significantly damaged, but our vehicle was a total loss. Thankfully, there were no injuries. At the time, the most reasonable explanation appeared to be inclement weather; [it happened during a strong rain storm]. We assumed that what seemed like a very rapid traversing of distance and the unresponsiveness of the vehicle was due to poor visibility and slippage. Yet i remember remarking to my wife that the vehicle had appeared to accelerate on its own, but i had no way of confirming this. I am now convinced that this was actually the cause.*tw
This is to inform you that the "fix" for the recall on the sticking accelerators is not 100% effective, if at all. I bought my toyota camry in april 2009 and instantly started having issues with my accelerator sticking. I took my car to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong and/or that what i was experiencing was the transmission being equipped to "hold you back" and save your brakes. I continued having the problem and returned to the dealer only to be told the same thing. On february 13, 2010, i had the recall work performed on my car. 3 weeks later (march 3, 2010), i experienced the sticking accelerator once again. I was under the impression that the accelerator would no longer stick after this "fix" was done. My car is less than a year old and my understanding is that this problem gets worse as the car ages. So far, i have not experienced uncontrolled acceleration, "only" a sticking accelerator, but i am concerned of what the future holds as my car ages and becomes more dangerous to drive.this sticking of the accelerator has occurred a few times a month over the last 11 months.
When starting from a complete stop and beginning acceleration, and sometimes when trying to quickly accelerate while moving forward,the car will hesitate and not accelrate for about 1/2 to one second while the car is slowing moving into traffic.this is a significant safety issue particularly when turning and crossing traffic and when merging with traffic on a freeway.this is a frequent occurance, but does not seem to follow any particular pattern other than it occurs here and there when accelerating.i took the car back to the dealer within a couple of weeks of buying it and they said that it was functioning fine.i looked on the internet and found that they are many others that have complained about acceleration hesitation issues with the toyota camry who also took their cars back to the dealer and received the same response that i did that "it was functioning normally".though i feel that this is a significant safety risk with the car, i feel that my only recourse, since toyota says it is running fine, is to essentially avoid all situations where sudden quick acceleration is required.wiith the number of reports on the internet matching my exact problem i feel that this is an issue that needs to be looked into with at least 2009 toyota camrys.

2009 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to the gas pedal modification.*tgwthe consumer stated after the modification was performed as per recall, it appeared the leading edge of the accelerator pedal now has a higher distance measured from the floor-well to the bottom side of the accelerator pedal. With the now shorter pedal there is ample room to rest his/her foot underneath the gas pedal. Upon inspecting the modified gas pedal, the consumer observed that an exposed nub at the bottom side of the pedal might be a cause of potential problems for the driver. In the event that a driver is required because of traffic conditions, to make a fast move with his/her legs towards the brake there is a possibility that the shoe straps may get caught in the now exposed nub.

The driver-side sun visor on my 2009 toyota camry recently broke. Like many others have already reported, the visor will not stay up and makes visibility while driving very difficult. In order to drive, i had to physically remove the visor to see, but now i have no visor to help shield the sun, which also makes visibility difficult. I have seen this issue reported online by many different individuals ranging from 2007-2009 camry models. My car is only 3 years old and this should not happen. I hope toyota can acknowledge this flaw and provide a fix.
Driving down the road at 65 (posted speed limit) when drivers side sun visor broke, flopped down right in front of my face, blocking road from my view. Had to hold it up until i found a safe place to pull over. Could have crashed.
I was driving my car and went to put sun visor down and it just broke no warning or anything. I did not even pull hard. Just normal use and it obstructed my view. As it was just dangling in my face would not stay up towards the window. When i called the dealer they said there has been some others having same issue but, there hasn't been anyone that has gotten hurt or they have not made alot out of it. They want me to spend 110.00 just for part which is faulty part.
I was driving on the highway at 70mph when all of a sudden my sun visor fell down and impaired my seeing the road ahead.i went to go flip it up but it had broken suddenly and without warning and would not stay up.i was trying to get off the highway while holding up the visor and trying to keep up with traffic as to not cause an accident.when i finally got off the road i had to actually rip the visor off because it wouldn't go up at all no matter what i did.the car is barely 2 years old.normally i would just fix this and move on with my life, but upon doing some research i realized that there are literally thousands of complaints dating back to the 2007 camry on the same visor issue.we were lucky we were able to get off the highway but let me tell you, i couldn't see a thing and if there was a car in front of me when it fell down i would have hit something or someone.again, it was without warning and just fell down - i wasn't moving it or touching it.i'm beyond upset especially now that i know that toyota was well aware of the situation.
My drivers side sun visor gradually falls down as i am driving, blocking my rear view mirror. This is a defect in the sun visor and i know there has been a recall for it, but when i called my toyota dealer they told me that it wasn't for my vin #.
When i was drivingat night, i started to feel a lot of heat in my right hand, the heat came from the radio and the a/c controls stop working and the radio too, the radio turn blank but keep playing the a/c controls keep turning on and off by them selves. Since then my radio goes blank, on and offand the dealer wont do nothing about it, i have check with different camry's owners and i have found out that they havethe same problem.i also have problems with my brakes???? when i step on the brakes my steering wheel starts shaking like if the rotors were bad, i took the car to my mechanic only to find out that a idle arm is bad ,and he as well as other camry's owners tell me that there are a lot problems with those arms.my car is stock, i haven't done any modifications.the other problem that i have is that i took the car for new tires and i saw rust inside all my rims, i live in california so there no snow or i do not live to close to the beach, and i do not know what to do, i told the dealer and they say nothing they can do. My visors keep falling off and they come of their base.

Since we have purchased this vehicle, both sun visor's have broken due to poor design which utilizes plastic tabs where the visor pivots up and down.the visors subsequently hang down obscuring visibility.we purchased a driver's side about 1 year ago at a cost of $90.00 and on july 24th the passenger side visor broke and now needs replacing.this will be a cycle, because even the replacement visor has the same plastic pivot.we live in alabama and the summer sun virtually bakes the part.i expect this to continue happening.very disappointing design.i've owned cars for over 30 years and never known sun visors to break like this.updated 9/15/15 *ln
Sunvisor on passenger side loosend and then broke off.the panel on air bag on passenger side started coming apart, and lastly a loud clunking sound as i turned steering wheel.
The sun visor in 2009 toyota camry hangs in face while driving. Came off bracket and causes major obstruction of vision. Had to completely remove the visor to prevent wreck.

While driving our 2009 toyota camry se model that my wife drives 95% of the time, i was being annoyed by the driver side visor droping down and obstructing my view, it would not stay fully up, in asking my wife about this she responded it has been that way for a while but is getting worse, and she mentioned the passenger side is very difficult to pull into the down position and then back up, stopped using it because she did not want to break it. I ordered thru the dealer the driver side visor and weeks after i am told it is in back order and not available at this time. I wonder if toyota is using there available stock for those consumers that take it in for dealer repair/replacement at a cost to the consumer, as i have read in some of the complaints. What am i to do ? any suggestions ?help !!!!i dont want to wait for a accident to happen.
Havingproblems with the windshield. I guess you can call it windshield bubbles.real bad at sunrise and at sunset. Kind of looks like hair spray residue on the windshield. Waiting for the factory rep. To look at it. Looks like it is embedded in the glass. Not a clear view when driving into the sun.

The sun visor in 2009 toyota camry xle hangs in face while driving.in the down position and would not stay secured in the "up" position, it then came off bracket and could be seen through the upholstery. Due to the major obstruction of vision it had to completely remove the visor to prevent wrecking. The black metal hinge allowing the visor to "flip" cracked the plastic tube like piece at the top of the visor causing it to stay down against the windshield.
The driver side sun visor would no longer stay up.whatever is holding it up is broken.i've gone on the internet and read many similar accounts.
2009 toyota camry. The driver side sun visor dropped to the down position blocking site visibility ( this occurred while the vehicle was being driven and was in motion on a public highway) and it will not stay in the retracted (against the roof) position. It continues to obstruct vision when in the forward position and blocks peripheral vision when swung up against the driver's side window. When the dealer was contacted their representative stated that it is a common and ongoing problem that has not been addressed by toyota. Searches on the internet reveal that this is a problem that has persisted for a number of years. It is highly likely that this problem will lead to vehicular damaged and/or personal injury if it has not already.
Driver's side sun visor broke and is blocking visibility and unsafe in a crash as it will impact my forehead.

The first incident was while i was driving on the freeway, it started raining so i turned on the wipers, they worked.the rain slowed and i turned the wipers off. When it started to rain harder again i turned the wiper switch back to on- the wipers would not work.we've had toyota check them out only to be told there isn't a problem.yesterday, nov. 22, 2013 as i was driving to work, it began to rain. I turned the switch on, and the wipers would work only intermittently, then they quit working altogether. Today, while driving to the grocery store it began to rain again- the same thing happened but now the wipers won't come on at all! this is a huge safety factor!
Like many others i have read about online my dashboard is melting and sticking causing a constant glare in my windshield making it hard to see in front of me. I strongly believe this is an ongoing and dangerous issue that should be addressed by the automakers.
The glare from the sticky dashboard is making the vehicle more dangerous to drive
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving in the rain, the windshield fogged up and impaired the contact's vision. The contact stated that the dashboard material became worn over time due to heat and affected the windshield. The dealer had not been contacted. The manufacturer stated that a special warranty had just expired; therefore, they could not assist. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
My dashboard is melting causing a glare from the sun.
On 10/19/2012, the windshield molding on the upper driver side was separating from the glass and was cracking in other areas. The molding was inspected by local toyota dealerships and they questioned the installation of the windshield. It was explained the car has one owner and the windshield had not been damaged or replaced. I was told i could have it repaired for $400 or come back when i experience leaking. I was not satisfied with either answer especially since the toyota plant, located in kentucky, incorrectly installed the windshield and now i am being told i have to pay for the botched installation. After researching recent tsbs, i found the 09-12 tacoma's were experiencing the same issues i have on my car. The tsb 0062-12 states the incorrect installation of the windshield/windshield molding was causing wind noise and the remedy was to replace the windshield/windshield molding. Although the tsb specifies wind noise as a minor nuisance, the defect has the potential to affect the integrity of the windshield as well as other electrical components due to the faulty molding. I am requesting the tsb be expanded to cover camrys exhibiting the same symptoms and make dealers responsible for correcting the defect.
The dash board is very sticky and went the sunlights hit in directly it reflects the sun into my eyes this occurs every day. I live in puerto rico and this is my travel car every day when the sun is always shining. This make me cause to put a tinted glass paper to reduce the sunlight reflection frontal the dashboard but it continue to reflects the sun light.
Sun visor sags.there was a service bulletin and toyota says we received it via mail.the car was purchased at a toyota dealer that went out of business in greenbrook nj.we took the car to dch and have not received any recall notifications.the driver side visor was falling down.we contacted them and they said it is out by 4 years yet we never received any notifications.we contacted them about not receiving it and they said we have the correct address.now we pay for all the recalls and service bulletins.the visor would be a visibility factor when line of site is interrupted.we had to fix at our cost of 104.00 for a plastic sun visor that had an obvious defect in the glue separated and it was not the fault of the owner.
The dashboard is melting and sticky.when hot gets worse and reflects light into your eyes making it hard to drive.
My visor broke for no apparent reason. Visors typically don't come off of cars that are even much older thanmy 2009 toyota. This happened while i was driving and adjusting my visibility from the sun.
Driver side sun visor unable to totally fold back, the visor hada little bit loose and cannot return back to the top ceiling of the car. It started getting worse months by month, finally by august,2014,it totally cannot flip back to original top . It cannot be used to block sun light from the front in the morning or evening time. It cause safety issue.i complaint to toyota for exchange. But dealer want me to wait for at least 4 - 6 weeks to get parts.
I was denied replacement of a melted dashboard because the extended warranty had expired (by 2 business days). The 2009 camry dashboard melting is a safety hazard. It casts a jarring glare onto the entire windshield and makes driving unsafe. Visibility is compromised. Someone is going to get hurt. This should not have been an extended warranty program. This should be a recall. Injuries or worse are imminent. Please act on behalf of consumers and establish a recall for toyota melting dashboards.
The dashboard of my car is melting and becoming very shiny. The dashboard is so shiny that i have to wear sunglasses to drive because of the excessive glare on my eyes.
Dashboard melt - dash when heated by sun or temperature -melts and turns into a glossy glue consistance which reflects on windshield and prohibits sight thru the glare - prevents driver sight and safety paper sticks to it and so does any flying bugs, trash, or other objects it comes in contact with.you cannot see on coming traffic or navigate turns safely.
After getting the third set of tires, i noticed that all four struts were leaking. The second set of tires wore out prematurely.also, the driver's side sun visor started flapping and would no longer stay up.i had to remove the visor because it started to block my view.
I purchased a 2009 toyota camry on june 23, 2008. After a few years, the dashboard became soft and sticky. Just this last summer, i noticed it melting on a hot sunny day. I looked into having it replaced. There was a warranty enhancement notification letter previously sent to me, which stated this type of known problem would be covered for up to 10 years since car was first placed in service.unfortunately, i didn't determine this was enough of a problem to me until june 28, 2018.i missed the warranty extension by 5 days. I contacted newbold toyota on june 29, 2018, and the service manager said that after the 10 years, there is nothing they can do, except to charge me for the repair. The repair was estimated at approx. $1,500 for the dashboard replacement.at first, i thought "oh well, i can live with this." but now the dashboard has melted so much that it now reflects sunlight into the windshield so badly that it is has become a safety hazard. It is very difficult to see through the windshield when driving towards the sun on a sunny day (even while wearing sunglasses). So the defective dashboard is now causing very hazardous driving condition. So i contacted the national toyota customer service center, and they said essentially the same thing as newbold toyota. There was nothing they can do now. Since this design/material flaw has caused such a serious hazard when driving the car, and this is now a safety issue, i believe toyota should be held responsible and should pay for the repair to fix this safety issue.when i purchased this car, i had no idea the dashboard had an expiration date. If only i had noticed the melting a few days earlier they would have paid for the replacement. Why does their responsibility to fix a defect/safety issue end after 10 years. I have attached photo to show reflection on windshield but blinding glare is much worse in person.
The visors are both broken and do not stay in fixed position. I went to 10 junkyards to buy replacements but they all said that same thing. That these visors are all defective and they sell them immediately. They have some sort of factory defect that makes them crack internally. There is also some oily residue on the dashboard that is sticky and shinny. So much so that in the daytime it is hard to see. Just what is this goo ? i cant get the sticky stuff off and now the sun is blinding me at the same time because of the defective visors. I thought that the sticky stuff on the dashboard was only my car but it seem other people with the make and model also have this problem. My wife drives this car with the grandkids and its really starting to creep me out.
The dashboard constantly reflects back andseriously blinds eyesight & vision, that actually may cause serious accidents and death.i am humbly giving this "real & actual warning information" to have toyota redesign the dashboard and recall all toyotas and fix this real dashboard problems.
The car dash board is melting away. It gets very sticky and if barely touched chips away in chunks. When the sun hits the dash it makes a glare that has many times almost caused me to wreck the car because i could not see.it smells weird.

Moonroof exploded while in the middle of the san mateo bridge.immediately heard wind noise coming from the moonroof (the shade fortunately was drawn).i saw no obvious gravel on the bridge and no vehicles in my immediate vicinity that might account for it.thought for a second that something dropped off a landing plane and realized that something like that would have easily punched through the shade.i examined the damage less than ten minutes later when i arrived at my destination.saw shattered glass and a hole that was almost centered.found no marks on the top side of the shade to indicate an object hitting.the edges of the hole tilted upwards.temperature at the time is estimated to be low 60s, sunny, and no discernible wind.inside temp was set at 67 or 68 and the fan was set on the low 2 setting.my husband examined the car when i returned home about 3 1/2 hours later.he searched through the shattered glass and found no objects.he tested the tilted edge to see what flexibility it had when i asked if air flow might have distorted the opening in the glass.it was quite stiff and he said that was unlikely.he (phd in engineering) concluded that there was no evidence of an object and commented the moonroof appeared as if it shattered upwards due to structural stress.i have a number of photos of the damage, one taken 10 minutes afterwards, the rest when i returned home.the toyota representative is holding on to the rock theory.
Passenger mirror stop responding after few seconds. When i use mirror switch to driver side again and back a can use ( up, down , right, left) for a few seconds and it stop again.
Melting dashboard become reflective hindering/blinding driver during daytime driving.
Beginning in summer 2014, the 2009 toyota camry le dashboard has gradually become very shiny. The shininess now produces a glare on the windshield and makes it difficult to see through the windshield at times. In addition, the shiny area of the dashboard has become increasingly sticky with a tacky feel to it. No commercial products have been used to clean the windshield, and car is under cover the majority of the time.
The sunvisors for driver and passenger side fail down. They block the view when i am driving . It is dangerous
In our 2009 toyota camry, there was a temporary dash replacement program. It was considered a warranty extension as opposed to a recall and it was a limited time where owners could take the vehicle back to the dealership and have it repaired during that limited time spa.i purchased the vehicle this past year and upon purchasing and spending a summer in san antonio with my 2009 toyota camry i experienced what the dash recall/toyota replacement policy was intended to repair. The dash turns to mush in the heat and it is very, almost malleable. From a safety standpoint, it creates a glare that makes it impossible to see from the drivers point of view and furthermore there's been reported problems with the airbags deploying because of the melting dash.i spoke with toyota about possibly helping me repair my dash and they said that even though it is a safety concern that they are no longer responsible for repairing the manufactures damages. I wanted to file a claim for reconsideration in hopes that theywould be liable for replacing anything that could potential he be a hazard or a danger to my family.
No long after the purchase of my 2009 toyota camry the dashboard is oily and sticky.the dashboard now appears to be melting.the dashboard produces such a glare that it makes it difficult to drive.i think toyota should recall these vehicles and correct the problem at no charge to the consumer.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry hybrid. The contact stated that the driver's side sun visor would not stay closed. The visor would fall and block the driver's view of the roadway.

As always when i arrive to work i put up the sunscreen in the front window.it is held in place by the driver'sand passenger's sun visors.when i proceeded to remove the screen after work, the visor would not return to its normal "locked" position.regardless of the angle of the visor, it would not stay in place.i had to drive home holding the visor up with one hand, because it would obstruct my line of vision if left to hang.when i arrived home, i was able to figure out how to take it off the arm swing.it was not difficult and it slid off easily.it appears the plastic casing that would surround the arm swing has failed.i am currently without a driver's side visor.
Sticky dashboard and glare makes driving dangerous.
The dashboard on my camry has become very sticky and shiny causing a bright glare on the windshield.it is difficult to see past the glare during night and day driving.it has been difficult to drive because the glare is distracting and blocks the front view of the driver.
While driving into the sun, the sun reflects off the dash causing you to not be able to see out the windshield. The dash has a tacky feel to it and is extremely shiny and any light that comes in trough the windshield reflect back at the windshield causing you to not be able to see what is in front of you. No warning of this issue with the vehicle. I have tried cleaning the dash with special cleaners to remove the shimmer however no resolution. The only resolution i have heard of is to have the dash completely replaced with the aftermarket dash that is made out of a different component.
Dashboard started melting. Dashboard has become sticky, shiny and greasy. Now sunlight reflects back on windshield glass, and reduces visibility of road. On bright sunny day, sunlight reflection on windshield makes it impossible to drive without covering dashboard.

Dashboard is sticky and terrible glare while driving. Reported it to the dealership in july .
Sticky dashboard that puts a glare on windshield.
My dash board is sticky and melted looking. The glare it causes makes it very difficult to see. If i don't wear sunshades i cant see. I called toyota to make a complaint and they said they can't do anything because it is out of warranty. Also my passenger side window will only work occasionally.
Sun visors are faulty design. Heat (sun) cause expansion of the plastic joints to expand/contract eventually leading to failure. The visor hangs down blocking driver's vision.replacements cost $90 or more and the same problem exists because of faulty design.
Dashboard is sticky and shiny.i brought the car to west kendall toyota.advisor said he would get me a quote.the quote for me is $400 to replace the dashboard.this is not right and toyota should cover the total cost.the sheen on the dash also creates a glare on sunny days, which create a safety hazard.toyota is avoiding a recall for the use of inferior parts.
This is for a 2009 toyota camry se 4 door sedan. The driver side visor becomes completely loose and rotates and falls down just like one would bring it down to block sunlight. This hampers the vision of the driver.

The sun visor on the driver's side broke off.unable to block the low horizon sun from shining into the driver's face when driving towards the sun.
The dashboard to my camry is very sticky. I live in the state of florida and the glare on the wind shield caused by the melting dashboard is so bad i have to lean to my right while driving in order to see better. This is definitely a safety issue and i need some information asap on getting this problem resolved. It's a shame that toyota does not correct this issue. How many accidents/deaths have to occur before something is done!?
Dashboard begins to melt when in sunlight.when hot to touch, hands will stick.first noticed when using a new sun visor.all we did was extend the visor towards bottom of windshield and picked up scratches.vehicle was stationary.
Noticed drivers side sun visor would not stay up. It blocks my view. When i try to put it up ( forwards or back, it just falls back to the down position. I replaced it once for the same reason and it turned out that it was broken. Now, about a year later, i have the exact same problem. I checked for recalls and my vin number says that there is no recall, but i know this is a popular problem.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While operating the vehicle, the driver side sun visor fell down into the line of sight of the driver creating a visibility hazard.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.
I was diving my car on a 200 mile trip and i noticed that the driver side sun visor fell down and wouldn't stay up even when it was in its stowed position. During the day it progressive got worst.i now have to physically hold it in place so i can see while driving.i first thought my kid broke it, but that wasn't the case.since i'm an engineer, i usually repair my car on my own.so i went looking on the internet for a replacement part and that is when i stumbled on the recall.my failure seemed to follow the same failure mode called out in the recall.however, my visor didn't fail during the recall window.however, in my engineering opinion, this is a part the will fail at some point in the cars life and the manufacture should have done a recall and replace on every car manufactured during the years that used the same parts.toyota no longer recognizes this as a problem.the more that the visor is used the more likely this failure will occur.bottom line,it is a safety hazard that had a band aide approach to repairing it and should be revisited since more then likely it will occur on any vehicle that didn't experience the failure during the recall window.

I purchased a used 2009 camry base model from the original owner. She notified me that the driver side visor is broken on the inside of the visor. It hangs down obstructing driver's view even when snapped into place. I took it to a shop to be fixed and they told me they have seen this on almost every 2009 camry and there is no way to fix it, only replace it at my own cost. This is a defect that should have been recalled.
From the start of this year i have realized that my dashboard seems to be melting. Its sticky and shiny and the shininess becomes distracting. I cant wipe it much because particles will stick to it. Toyota is stating i must pay for a new dashboard but i feel that isn't fair due to a defect with the car dashboard. I live in the us virgin islands and temperatures are always hot. I have owned a few cars and been in all my family members cars and have never experienced a melting dashboard.
My camry dashboard melted such that it is now reflective like a mirror or glass onto my front window.the glare on the front window is unsafe for clear viewing.this happened after the warranty expired on may of 2018.but, a safety issue caused by a melting of the dashboard should not have a limit to it's necessary repair by toyota. I have videos of the danger, but your only accepting jpgs below.
The driver visor droops down. It just recently started doing this. It blocks visibility when driving. It will not stay up. When i got into my car this evening it was down and would not stay in the up position.

I am having an issue with the dashboard melting. The surface of the dashboard has become shiny and creates a glare on the windshield.
The dashboard is melting and reflecting onto the windshield.
The visor on the passenger side keeps falling down, causing blocking of view while driving. This is constant and have heard through others with a camry- that this is a defect.
Glare from melted dashboard
Driver's side sun visor suddenly "flopped" down impairing vision while driving. Will not hold in the upper or fully extended position. Hangs directly in my line of sight.
My dashboard is very sticky. Can't clean it off. It also chips very easily. It's almost plush...?? on top of all that, the glare it gives off is very unsafe!
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver's side visor would not remain secured in the housing. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the visor would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 105,000 and the current mileage was 116,000.
Recently 'august 2019' i purchased a 2009 toyota camry on a 'cloudy day' for my son to drive to n.c. For college. He came home for an overnight visit and i noticed his dash was very shiny and had a horrible glare. The glare was so bad i would not allow him to drive the car due to this impairing his ability to see. I noticed on toyota's website there is a recall on the dash but read lots of complaints that toyota was not replacing them in a timely fashion and for only so many years. As you can see from the photo this is for sure a visibility hazard and my son or others could be killed due to inability to see.
In 2015 i received several recall notices from toyota, inc. The first of several were the sun visors defect. Although mechanicsville toyota fixed it when they fixed the engine consumption problem in 2015, it currently has the same problem as the visor on the driver's side doesn't stay up/defective. The second, the dashboard area will crack due to sun exposure which it has tiny cracks. However, the major was recall on, engine oil consumption. Mechanicsville toyota, 6546 mechanicsville tpke. Mechanicsville, va fixed the problem, however, the problem has returned. This defect will cause the engine to lock if oil consumption isn't checked and added regularly.
I own a 2009 toyota camry for over 2 years i've had what is known as a "sticky dash". It's almost as if the dashboard as melted and toyota refuses to do anything for it - their response is for me to pay almost $1900 for a new dashboard plus labor which is completely unacceptable. I've also noticed that as of late, the glare due to the dashboard is interfering with my driving and i am genuinely worried about the safety of this vehicle.
Dashboard surface has become very shiny which creates a glare and significantly reduced visibility in some circumstances. Dash surface seems to be melting as it is shiny and also sticky when touched. We are the original owners and this vehicle was garaged most of its life, however now when the vehicle has been parked outdoors the dash surface has become shiny resulting in a unsafe reflection in some driving situations.
Rear window defroster has big air bubbles compromising visibility. Also the i had replaced the passenger side visor 3 times for being broken when pulled down for use.
Toyota camry 2009. When dash heats up it starts shining and cause glare on windshield, it causes obstructive vision to the driver's visibility of the roadway. In addition, the material on the dashboard would become very sticky as if it were melting.
I am the original owner of a 2009 toyota camry. The dashboard which started melting in 2020 has caused a shiny film on the dashboard resulting in a shiny glare on my windshield when the sunlight hits the dashboard.this glare completely covers a portion of the windshield which prevents me from viewing the roadway ahead of me. Toyota has entered settlements ( extending its' warranty to mid 2017 )several lawsuits, but does live up to its' agreement. Toyota has breached settlement agreement by not providing the toyota dealers with dashboard replacements in timely manner.since my dashboard did not start deteriorating until 2020i have been informed by toyota that since the warranty time period has expired, that they will not pay for the cost to replace the dashboard. Deterioration was a latent defect. Time for nhtsa to get involved: investigate and then issue a national recall of the dashboards. Email: [xxx][xxx] [xxx] toyota has made empty promises to those who filed prior to mid 2017 and refuses to even make promises to those who file after that date. Whittier toyota will be inspecting the vehicle monday july 19 2021 and will issue me a report of the deteriorating dashboard and cost to replace it.google: toyota dashboard melting for obtain postings of various lawsuits in this matter.
2009 toyota camry driver side visor broken internally and hangs down in front of driver until pulled off, a possible visibility problem and hazard.toyota issued a visor recall, but replacement visor (tried 2) will not stay fully up when tilted to the windshield, thereby making signal lights harder to see, which we believe could cause an accident as well.hard to believe new visor will not go up fully (in both directions, but towards the ceiling does not block view, just does not snap up like original units).
My 2009 toyota camry's dashboard has melted. It has become a sticky, shiny mess. I tried to put reflective shades in the windshield to help slow the disintegration. Upon removing it to drive the car one afternoon shortly after i started using it, part of the vinyl was melted to the shieldand ripped off the dashboard leaving the orange foam showing. The safety hazard comes from the shiny "puddles" of melted dash. They are incredibly reflective and can be blinding in sunlight. The glare is distracting while driving. I cannot lay anything on the dash to reduce the glare, because the vinyl will adhere to it and peel away like it did with the sun shield. While it has not yet caused an accident for me, i can see where it may have for others. As the cars age further, more of the dash will become melted. Eventually, tens of thousands of people are going to be on the road with the equivalent of a spotlight blinding them when the sun is shining. Hopefully, a safety solution will be had before then. Another problem this vehicle has had since i bought it new, the windshield does not have good clarity when driving in the rain. I have cleaned it so many ways and replaced the wiper arms, but it has a smear, or film, that makes it highly difficult to see through in wet conditions.
The sun visor fell in a perfect position blocking my view while traveling through a busy intersection i had to stop to adjust,the visor it falls all the time toyota refused to repair or fix it.
I purchased a new 2009 toyota camry se, after owning ten toyota vehicles since 1978. I still own four today! i have never experienced anything like this issue in another car. In 2014-2015 (estimated) my entire dash board became sticky, as if i had poured oil on it. Today it releases a thick sticky residue onto the front windshield when parked in the sun. This makes the dash impossible to wipe... As towels, sponges, even leaves, etc., get stuck to it (see pics). I can't drive my car without first wiping the inside of the windshield each time it is parked in the sun, or this residue makes it opaque (see pics...after wiping it). This situation is exacerbated when driving towards the sun (see pics) and is a safety issue!! i'm concerned how the deteriorated condition of my dash affects the deployment of the passenger airbag or if it still even operates correctly?on 8/16/19, i discovered that toyota extended its warranty to ten years from the original purchase date. Mine was 7/29/09...putting me only two weeks out of their 10-year warranty coverage. Toyota corporate and my dealership told me they could not offer any assistance in my case ("1 day or 1 mile over warranty and we won't help"). When challenged, toyota could not confirm letters were mailed to all affected owners, only that an effort was made to send letters to some owners in 2015. Multiple models over several years are involved. I spent 8 hours on the phone appealing their decision, without success. A new dashboard costs $2600.00 (installed)!! i reported this issue here because it is a manufacturing/safety issue resulting from toyota's use ofsub par materials...like defective windshield wipers...if you can't see out of your windshield at freeways speeds because of the glare from your dashboard, or the residue stuck on your windshield...you are at risk of an accident. Please contact me if you have questions?
I recently bought a used 2009 camry, with a melting dashboard. The car salesperson told me it's just cleaner, so of course i believed them. Although, when i got home i read all about toyota's problem with melting dashboards. I am very upset with this company's interior manufacturing. There is an intense reflection on the windshield due to the sticky dashboard. This makes it hard to see while driving.
The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 12v491000 (visibility); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact state that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
The dashboard has melted and is sticky and shiny which has created an intense glare on the windshield making it very difficult to see some spots while driving. The shiny dashboard does not return to normal even in cooler temperatures, or if a sunshade is used. The shiny sticky goo like film can not be wiped away either.
My dashboard is peeling and melting. When i drive my car, the sun reflects on my shiny melted dashboard and causes a glare on my windshield. The glare makes it hard to see through the windshield and makes it hard to drive on certain hours of the day.
Toyota is aware that they manufactured this car and others with a defective dashboard. They have already been sued for this. The melted dashboard causes a glare in the window making driving unsafe and people have been in accidents. Plus, the goey dashboard may cause the airbags to fail. Rather than recalling the defective cars and replacing the dashboards on all these cars, toyota chose to offer a 10 year warranty. First of all, i never received notification of this warranty, but it would not have made any difference if i would have, because the problem occurred in my car 2 months after the 10 year warranty expired. Car brakes wear out, tires need replacing, dash boards are not suppose to melt! i imagine toyota expects the dashboards to melt in most cars after 10 years and this is why they offered a 10 year warranty. They can now profit from their own manufacturers defect.
Vehicle dashboard appears to be melting. When the sun hits the shiny dashboard, there is a glare that bounces off the windshield, impairing driver visibility.
Our driver side visor becomes extremely floppy lately. We didn't know there was a recall on models similar to our 2009 toyota camry. It's barely out of warranty now and it's a big safety concern. We have owned many cars, and not one has a visor issue, please help!!!
In my 2009 toyota camry le, the recirculation switch turns off after about three minutes, letting in air from the outside.this is an ongoing problem whenever i'm behind a diesel vehicle.my car fills with fumes that affect my breathing.the first time i went to the toyota dealer, they said it was a standard fix, and would cost me $50.when i went in a second time, and said i didn't want to pay, they said there was no way to fix it.it's clear to me that this is a design defect, that will have a detrimental effect on the driver and passengers, and that toyota needs to fix it.

2009 toyota camry passenger window fell within two weeks of having the vechile.
In this cold morning, the rear window of my car was covered with frost.i turned on the rear window defrost. I found the frost never melt in about one-fourth (or even one third) ofthe rear window from the top, while the frost of the rest of the rear window is completely dissolved by heat wire. The heat wire did not work for the upper part but worked for the rest part of the window. It is really a hazard when you drive and you can not really see clearly from your rear view mirror.
Driving 55 mph on expressway when the glass moon roof exploded. There was no object hitting it. After stopping to inspect the damage, the glass looked as if it was slightly pushed upwards around the hole. The entire glass area was cracked, there was a hole about 12" x 5" in center.
My excessive oil consumption engine needed repairs per a toyota major recall.i took the car and as you can see below it has been a very frustrating experience.after being told that my 2009 toyota camry was on a recall list, i was given a possible repair date of within 10 months.i waited and was given a drop off date of 1/23/2017.i was given a rental car and went on to work.after 5 days i was told my car was ready but, that i would have to pay for parts that were removed/replaced to do the work on the recall.i questioned why i was being charged for consequential damages to parts that should be included as part of the labor due to the recall.i got fetched a long story from toyotas 800 number and i had no choice but, go pick up my car and pay the $269.54.i picked it up and noticed that it was driven 58 miles, upon leaving and as i got on the main road i noticed that there was a huge crack on my windshield as well.i called back and spoke to [xxx] , he was rude, a bully, and accused me of lying about the damage.i begged them to pull their security tapes which they refused.toyota should pay for this recall to include any parts that should get damaged in the process as they perform their repairs.i'm asking for a full refund and an investigation into the damaged windshield.i refuse to go back to their store and prefer to have the windshield replaced at either my residence or place of employment.i've owned 3 toyotas and refuse to go by and purchase my next car from [xxx].i realize that i am a single customer however; i work hard for my money.i've never tried to abuse my car and i keep up with the maintenance.in my opinion [xxx] should be retrained.his lack of professionalism is going to cost you guys thousands and you will continue to lose valuable customers if you continue to refuse to do the right thing.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This car tire was changed with primewell ps830/850 & it has 40000 miles of warranty. Tire was replaced in 2012. At the time car millage was 47282. Now the 2 tires are worn out completely & 1 tire is separating out. I have to replace all 4 tires today. Today millage of the car is 80270 which is less than 40000 miles. This tires are not good for drive & it will create safety hazard. When i called primewell they told me that tire has only 5 years of warranty, if they give only 40k or 5 years of warranty then why not they write it down in tires.today i replaced tires from firestone mooresville, nc 28117. So i request you to do more investigation about it & please take appropriate an actions.i am attaching when 1st time tire was installed firestone copy & today i replaced with same type of tire copy.

When i was drivingat night, i started to feel a lot of heat in my right hand, the heat came from the radio and the a/c controls stop working and the radio too, the radio turn blank but keep playing the a/c controls keep turning on and off by them selves. Since then my radio goes blank, on and offand the dealer wont do nothing about it, i have check with different camry's owners and i have found out that they havethe same problem.i also have problems with my brakes???? when i step on the brakes my steering wheel starts shaking like if the rotors were bad, i took the car to my mechanic only to find out that a idle arm is bad ,and he as well as other camry's owners tell me that there are a lot problems with those arms.my car is stock, i haven't done any modifications.the other problem that i have is that i took the car for new tires and i saw rust inside all my rims, i live in california so there no snow or i do not live to close to the beach, and i do not know what to do, i told the dealer and they say nothing they can do. My visors keep falling off and they come of their base.

4 new yokohama avid ascend p215 60 r16 tires purchased from toyota dealer/service center on 4/10-11/18, car mileage 82455. On 6/6/18 one tire replaced due to large bulge in side wall of right front tire (car mileage 84540). Requested that all other tires be inspected for defects at the time this tire was replaced; was told all other tires were fine; no bulges. On 6/11/18(5 days later) noted a bulge in the side wall of the right rear tire which is3inch by 2inch. I've called the dealership to tell them i want a refund on these tires as i don't trust the yokohama tires any more...waiting for a response in both cases, fortunately, i was not traveling on an interstate, and the vehicle was stationary when i noticed the problem. However, i do a lot of interstate travel. I'm especially concerned because there was a tire sale at the dealership at the time i purchased these tires' since two of the four of my new tires (so far) were defective, i wonder how many others have purchased tires during this sale. I'm not sure how i can take a picture of the bubble, but would be happy to do so, in addition to providing any receipt information needed to further investigate. Please advise.
Early april, i attempted to rotate tires on a 2009 toyota camry.after jacking up the vehicle and removing the lug nuts, i was unable to remove the tire, despite using a technique of placing a 2x6 across the tire and hitting it with a 3 pound hammer.i split the 2x6 without any affect upon the tire.i phoned toyota hq in ny and subsequently took the vehicle to schaumburg il toyota where they told me that they used a sledge hammer to loosen the tires. When i returned home and after i jacked up the vehicle at all 4 points, i still had to lay down and use a 3 pound hammer and hit the inside of the steel wheel multiple times for each wheel in order to remove each wheel. Without a very heavy hammer and the act of hitting the steel wheel with tremendous force,it was impossible to remove a wheel.since i previously lifted weights benching 390 pounds, i do not consider myself average in terms of the ability to change a tire.without a very heavy hammer and the strength to deliver tremendous force to the wheels, it is impossible to change a 2009 toyota camry tire.since it is mandatory for manufactures to provide the means to change tires in an emergency, toyota has made it impossible for virtually the entire user community to change a tires.this constitutes an extreme risk to owners and passengers where a tire failure occurs and there is no heavy hammer and the individuals do not have the strength to free the on-vehicle wheel.i wrote 3 letters to toyota hq japan and received a phone call from toyota ny where they indicated that it is necessary to rotate tires every 5,000 miles.due the extremely close fit of the wheel to the axle assembly and the propensity of the axle assembly metallic composition to oxidize and the act of tightening the lug nuts which presses the metal wheel on to the axle assembly, there is virtually no time period in which users are able to remove a wheel within normal constraints. This is a serious design deficiency. Updated 07/27/10

The contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. The contact stated that the dashboard was sticky and melted. Also, there was an excessive amount of lint on the dashboard and the tire pressure monitoring system warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to kings toyota (4700 fields ertel rd, cincinnati, oh 45249, (513) 683-5440) where it was diagnosed that the dashboard was melted and needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the warranty was expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 1908150490, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Consumer stated now it has actually broken down to the point that the padding and vinyl covering just rub off. My understanding is that manufacturers were required to install padded dashboards years ago for safety purposes. Toyota did extend the warrant because of this problem but the break down started naturally after the warranty period.
