During a short trip the srs light came on.i don't recall exactly when the light appeared, while sitting still or when i first started to move forward after backing out of the driveway.since the incident i have had the vehicle into toyota 3 times.every time i am told that there is nothing wrong with the car.the last time the dealer had it for a total of 25 days.the response is that while nothing is wrong with the car passengers should first sit in the car and buckle the seat belt before the key is inserted into the ignition. I have contact the toyota experience center and while they first agreed that this is not normal they contacted the toyota field technician and i was told that movement of a passenger in the seat can cause the (malfunction) srs light to come on which disables the airbag system.i have asked why this has never occurred during the first 3-1/2 years of owning the car and don't get any answer.this is an unsafe condition as the srs light can come on while on an extended trip and if there is an accident the airbags won't deploy.

Srs warning light and trac control warning light and seat belt warnings for both passenger and driver flashing. I checked online and couldnt figure out the codes. I figured out that this was blowing fuse 29 on the car as soon as the ignition is turned on. I went to the local mechanic shop, ali automotive in santa clara, ca. They read the codes and the faults displayed are the steering angle sensor fault and passenger classification system fault (if i recall correctly). As the air bags are no longer active this is a safety issue. The fault came on while just after turning into parking spot in the parking lot at the corner of lawrence and prospect. The mechanic advised that they need to check the vehicle but it was likely the air bag clockspring is shorting as they've replaced this on a number of cars. Checking online it seems that toyota has a recall on the air bag clock spring on some models but i didnt see one of the camry. Also a number of reports online of consumers changing the clocksprings. So this is a fairly common complaint and a safety hazard. Please assist to investigate asap. This car is also used by our teenage son and i'd like to ensure that it is safe. Thank you.
My sister owns a 2010 toyota camry xle, bought as a new car, not used.on saturday, july 16, 2011, she was riding as a passenger in her car when it was struck by another vehicle on the passenger side.even though she had to be cut out of the car, neither her side airbags or front air bags deployed. She was taken to the er at the hospital because she had suffered injuries and was in pain.it is possible that the 2010 toyota camry xle is a total loss, however, none of the airbags in the car deployed.
My airbag light turned on in my car.i took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the hvac system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out.this was because the drain from the hvac system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed.instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit.this exact problem was recalled on other model years of toyota camrys.
In feb 2011 my 2010 toyota camry had a head-on collision with a truckcamry speed at time of accident: 30mphtruck speed at time of accident: 10 ' 20mphscombined speed of both vehicles at time of head-on accident: least 40mphs..camry sustained an extensive damage and cost of repair 7-8k have pictures and police report.complaint: no airbag in the camry was deployed (front, side) nor indicator light come of the airbag lit up...it seems that airbag never sensed the accidentcalled toyota and reported, they told me car did as was designed..so airbag should not been deployed, also airbag indicator should not light up.initial when i turn the start engine for 5 sec i see the airbag indicator light on & then will turn it off normally. Why/when the accident occured: no airbag deployed for head-on collison nor airbag indicator light lit up?updated 10/27/14

On my way to work on new years eve 2012 i lost control of my 2010 toyota camry and went of the road and hit a telephone pole at about 30 miles per hour.i was knocked unconcious and suffered immediately noticable injuries to my face, arms, chest and knees. The police said i was not wearing my seatbelt and none of the airbags deployed at all. I always wear my seatbelt, no matter what!on top of that, the dinger that goes off when there is no seatbelt on is very annoying and alone would cause me to put it on.there is no way i would listen to a dinger for a 45 min drive to work and not put my seatbelt on, and i was 10 minutes from work when it happened. The only explanation is that the seatbelt was clipped enough to turn off the dinger but not enough to lock because my injuries indicate that i did not have any bruising or marks from a seatbelt and my head had cracked the windshield, which would be impossible with a sealtbelt that worked and an airbag that deployed properly.this was the second accident where this car did not deploy the airbag.the first was a rearend that shoved my car into the car in front of me and no airbag deployed. After insurance looked at the car, it was determined it was a total loss from the damage to the front end.

My 2007 toyota camryxle was in a serious accidentthis past week.my son was driving and the rear abruptly went to the right and he lost control and skidded across a road into a soft shoulder/embankment causing significant damage to the front of the vehicle, the car thenflipped/rolled over landing on it's roof.there ended up being substantial damage to most of the vehicle.upon inspection of the vehicle by us on the following day we did notice that the right rear tire had blown out, i assume this caused the abrupt veering to the right described above. My son had his seat belt on and luckily had only minor injuries.my concern/question is why the air bags did not go off. This includes the ones built into the front pillars and those on the side designed to protect the occupants head and arm, etc.btw:this vehicle was recalled for the defective gas pedal/floor mats and was scheduled to have the recall/repair completed on 7/29/10.photo's were taken by him of the damage.

I was in an accident on july 28 2011. I was in a 2010 toyota camry driving 40-45miles and a ford f150 pick-up truck turned in front of me. I hit the truck on its side causing it to filp over. My camry sustained severe frontal damage that it was deemed a total loss. My airbags did not deploy. Police officers, fire dept at the scene of the accident were all amazed that the airbags had not deployed considering the damage to the car. The body shop that the car was initially towed to mentioned that looked like there were faulty sensors that prevented the airbags from deploying.
I had just bought a 2010 toyota camry in march 2010. My wife was driving it at approximately 65mph and a wreckless motorcycle driver hit the car at appx 100 mph, the motorcycle damaged the car was a total loss due to the severe damage to the roof, the side rear side panels the trunk the bumper rear windshield and interior,the driver landed in the roof but almost went inside the car through the rear windshield which was broken two air bags are located on each side of the rear windshield, they came out of place but did not deploy, my passengers were injured, my 4 yr old's car sit was in the car but she was not in the car at the time, the motorcycle and the driver's body actually would have hit her if she would have been inside the car and if hewould have gone inside the car through the windshield, (rear) he would have killed my passengers. I have some pictures and i would like you to see them, it is obvious that the air bags should have deployed.

The instrument cluster went black when driving in the highway out of town. And later the engine was turned off. Restarted the car and droveto be checked at a dealer who said everything should be fine except for the instrument cluster. Restarted the car and the instrument cluster worked well this time. Two days later, the instrument cluster turned on all of warning lights and then went black again, at the same time, the car lost power and i couldn't speed it up. Pull over and restarted it, everything turned to be ok. So, i sent it the local dealer who replaced the instrument cluster. I keep the broken instrument cluster in case for need of further investigation.

2010 toyota camry. Consumer states alarm system sounds while driving *tgw
Toyota camry xle 2010 with 11500 miles is accelerating on its own and it is taking noticeable longer to slow down. Check engine light is on and (esc) light is on. However this is not the first time this has happened. The car was taken to the dealer. The first time they said there was debris in the engine however it took them over 30 days to fix it and they did not seem confident they fixed the problem.it is not a consistent problem as it happens unexpectedly. This is not caused by a driver mistake as it can be clearly seen when foot is off the brake and car is in drive that the rpm is higher. Sometimes the opposite happens and the car acts as if it is going to stall and shakes very hard. The approx incident date is the last time it was noticed and the car is no longer being driven. * i wonder if there is a possibility that my cell phone that causes interference with my tv and radio causes an interference with the etc system?
On friday, 25 march, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 toyota camry.she made a right turn & in about a half mile, the camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 mph from about 40 mph.she pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator.she said the check engine and the stability control lights were on.she tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok.she drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home.i arrived soon & i checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ecu was showing an active p0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance).so we drove the car slowly to atlanta toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, ga 30096.during the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off.i reported the code p0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms.the next day (saturday, 26 march 2011) atlanta toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ecu.i repeated the code that i had read.the rep stated they would check again.again atlanta toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly.on the drive home from the dealership i noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected.i inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had not been touched.my concern is thistoyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs.all they will say is, there were no codes.
This car has required 6 sets of tires in less than 90,0000 miles. The driver's side window will roll down when pressing the button to roll it up. This has been going on since the first oil change. The air conditioner occasionally switches itself from recycled to fresh air while driving for unknown reasons. Sensor in passenger seat malfunctions causing random alarm about seatbelt when no one is seated there. The dashboard became sticky to the touch, and cloth would stick to it when attempting to wipe it clean. The dashboard then developed several deep cracks, running erraticallyly from front to back. In places around trim pieces, dashboard plastic has flaked away. Plastic on the top of the console's lid has chipped and flaked away, and cracks have developed around it. Paint on trim of console has bubbled up and ruined the finish in console drink holder lid. The cd player malfunctioned, with a disc read error reported, though no disc was inside the player, requiring replacement of system. The aux audio port failed after only a year of regular use. The floor mats had to be removed due to the acceleration recall and the service department at dealership wanted to provide recall service limited to securing these with a zip tie. Carpeting became stained and filthy, and could not be effectively cleaned, so carpeting had to be replaced by owner. Recall notices received from toyota by the owner have been expressly limited to weight capacity rating sticker, although this was toyota financed vehicle and owner's address remains unchanged. Otherwise, all recall notices received by registered owner, have been limited to those reported by nhtsa following owner's registration at website. Local dealership has routinely been uncooperative, dismissive, or contentious when warranty service requests were made. Dealership offers only reasons to deny warranty repairs or replacements.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the anto-theft security alarm system was not functioning properly unless the contact used the key fob, which worked intermittently. The vehicle was broken into and the alarm failed to engage. A police report was filed. The vehicle was scheduled to be inspected and repaired by an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.
The red indicator light in my dash display came on when i started the car and continued while i was driving, so i took it to a mechanic. My alternator needs replacement, which is very disappointing because the car only has 84,000 miles on it and has been very well maintained and serviced regularly. I purchased a new battery about 2 months ago, and the alternator replacement quote from the toyota dealership where my family purchased the car new is quoting $1,245 for a new alternator (parts & labor). An internet search led me to find that this is happening to quite a few owners of this era of toyota. I called toyota customer service and was informed that there is no recall or any type of assistance available to cover the cost of this very expensive and premature repair. My mechanic warned me of the huge dangers of having my alterator fail while operating the car, especially while doing the fast freeway driving that is so common in los angeles. I had no idea that the red battery dash light indicated such a serious problem. I hope that in the near future this can be recalled, to save consumers the huge cost of making this critical and untimely repair. Thank you very much for your time reading this complaint and your consideration in this matter.
On wednesday, march 17, 2010, i was driving my 2010 toyota camry south on alabama highway 59 in the vicinity of the intersection of baldwin county road 32 in summerdale. I was listening to radio station while out of mobile when the volume of the station faded out. It took about 2 seconds for the sound to completely disappear. I assumed the station had a problem and would be back in a few seconds. About a minute later i looked at the radio display and it showed ?volume 0.? i turned the volume back up and the station was there. It had been there all the time. Something had caused the volume to fade out without any action on my part. This now gives me concern that the computer that controls virtually everything on the car is subject to outside influences.
On february 2, 2010 i was entering my garage and slowly drove in, ithen placed my foot on the brake to stop, i then opened the drivers side door slightlyas i was about to place the vehicle in park a short revving of the engine began, right before i placed the shifter into park the vehicle jumped into reverse and began to accelerate backwards,causing damage to the drivers side door which flew open due to the reverse acceleration, the wall in my garage ,the garage railing , the side panel of the garage were all damaged as a result. I then slammed on the brakes and the parking brakes, placed the shifter in neutral and then turned off the engine,i then calledthe toyota corporation and explained the event to them. Their process was slow and not considerate to my needs as a consumer. After several days and numerous phone calls toyota finally responded andi was told that i was going to have to wait another 4 days for someone else from their regional department to get in touch with me. I finally decided to let my insurance company handle the vehicles damage because i only have one car.after a week in the shop i then took the vehicle a toyota dealer for them to repair the recall issues. Toyota explained to me that they fixed the recall problems and returned the vehicle back to me.
Blower motor went bad on 2010 toyota camry. Dealership say no recall on this, i have been told that this almost never go out especially the age of the car.
My fuel gauge always show a full tank of gas even when tank is empty, and when i turn the ignition key off, fuel gauge still shows full. I can't tell how much gas is in my tank, and this has result me without gas on a busy highway, it is really a safety hazard. Please recall.
Both the driver's side and passenger's side lock controls fail to lock and unlock both the driver's side and rear driver's side doors. Occasionally, depending on the temperature and humidity, the rear driver's side door will lock and unlock. It is a similar problem associated with the window/ lock control recall for 2007 and 2009 toyota camrys. It almost seems as though there is a faulty wire connection. This occurs at all times, no matter whether the car is in motion or not.
My airbag light turned on in my car.i took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the hvac system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out.this was because the drain from the hvac system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed.instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit.this exact problem was recalled on other model years of toyota camrys.
I own a 2010 toyota camry. I was told by one dealership that my car is not affected. I was told by another dealership that my car is included in the accelerator recall.first, when i put the keys in my car and start it, it will start to accelerate to 2000 rpms for 30 secs to a minute before going below 1000rpms.also, when i drive around town, the car will remainaccelerated even after i take my foot off of the gas pedal or even after i take my foot off the brake.i do not know what to do, and if my car is not part of a recall, this could be more of a systematic problem (either with the electric chip or the accelerator pedal i have) than what everyone thinks now.i have brought my car to the dealer 2-3 times (prior to the recall) and they said it was "normal" for all camrys.but this is obviously not normal.
Warning: hood openwhen vehicle is parked and factory theft deterrent security system is engaged, intermittently alarm goes off (even when remote control is not within range and no unauthorized entry is attempted).similar to t-sb-0171-11 and t-sb-0208-10vehicle equipped with a factory theft deterrent system may exhibit a condition where the security horn is inappropriately triggered when the vehicle has not been disturbed. A revised hood latch assembly (with internal component switch) has been made available to address this condition.
My 2010 camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge i'm experiencing. I contacted toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" i think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the rpm dial when i go to stop. He saw the rpm dial move up to almost 2000 when i hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 camry and it did the same thing.i had a 98 avalon and a 03 camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older toyota's. He assured me that my car is safe and i have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here i'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think i'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because i love my new car...i'm just really nervous driving it.
Ltr fwd(ny) owner of a 2010 toyota camry that has been service for multiple defects since purchased including braking system and gas pedal recall, reply to massapequa, ny ofc. *tgwthe back seat foam was defective and had to be replaced, the passenger exterior mirror was loose, the brakes had to be pumped so they wouldn't feel mushy, the steering was loose and the dashboard lights would dim while driving and when applying the brake. The consumer contacted the dealer and informed them the lights were not working. They stated it sounded as though it was an electrical problem and she would have to leave the vehicle. The consumer also stated when she applied the brake, the vehicle would lunge forward.
On 2 occasions while driving at speed (65-70 mph) in traffic on a major interstate, my car lost power (it did not cut off--only lost power).after working my way off of the interstate hwy., i was able to use a code reader and found that diagnostic trouble code p2112 had been set (throttle actuator control system-stuck closed).after erasing the dtc the car ran ok.this has happened twice--once on 02/16/2017 (mileage 75,465) and a second time on 04/10/2017 (mileage 75,829).following the instructions in toyota's service manual for this particular vehicle, i checked the resistance of the throttle actuator on the throttle body and found it was well within specifications--measured 4 ohms and spec is 0.3-100 ohms).in my opinion, losing power in heavy traffic on a major interstate is a very hazardous situation.
The vehicle was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hitin the side frontfrom the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed.driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was because of the safety of the airbags...which were no help in this accident.
The day after purchasing my 2010 camry, the car seemed to ride funny.i felt uneasy but initially thought it may be that it was my first completely new car.this went on for the next few weeks, i.e. The car seeming to jerk or heave, regardless of the speed.i was worried that there was something wrong with the engine and then the lights on the aircondition/heating board stopped working so i thought it was an electrical problem instead.i took it in.the mechanic explained everything away, explained the 'electrical problem', and stated that the heaving feeling i was sensing was that the car was computerized and that it took time for the accelerator to catch up with the signal the computer was giving it, or something like that.he ran an engine check and everything was fine.on my service sheet he simply stated that i had complained about the accelerator hesitating (which i did not), but did not document that i brought the car in complaining that it had electrical problems.a week later there was the recall.when i later called about the recall and continued to complain about the accelerator problem, the serviceman ( a different one) told me that i would feel no change in the way the way the car drove so he would have someone ride with me to try to figure out what i was talking about.the day before taking the car in for the fix, the car slightly accelerated when i was trying to come to a stop.after the fix, a toyota representative rode with me (i let him drive), but the car did appear to ride better after the fix. The car does still feel better than when i first bought it but seems to be gradually getting worse since the fix, e.g. The car occasionally slightly accelerates when i am coming to a stop.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning while driving 15 mph. The contact was able to bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the brakes. The vehicle also exhibited an electrical failure that caused the instrument panel lights to blink and the radio to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 8 and the current mileage was 44,290.
I bought a brand new 2010 camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which i have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly.moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving.also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, i cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but i am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first toyota i've owned, and it will be the last.
Started car and tachometershowed aprox 3000 rpm then went to idleit lunged forward if i did mot have my foot on the brake it would have smashed into a guard rail.
2 sensors indicating instability....
Srs warning light and trac control warning light and seat belt warnings for both passenger and driver flashing. I checked online and couldnt figure out the codes. I figured out that this was blowing fuse 29 on the car as soon as the ignition is turned on. I went to the local mechanic shop, ali automotive in santa clara, ca. They read the codes and the faults displayed are the steering angle sensor fault and passenger classification system fault (if i recall correctly). As the air bags are no longer active this is a safety issue. The fault came on while just after turning into parking spot in the parking lot at the corner of lawrence and prospect. The mechanic advised that they need to check the vehicle but it was likely the air bag clockspring is shorting as they've replaced this on a number of cars. Checking online it seems that toyota has a recall on the air bag clock spring on some models but i didnt see one of the camry. Also a number of reports online of consumers changing the clocksprings. So this is a fairly common complaint and a safety hazard. Please assist to investigate asap. This car is also used by our teenage son and i'd like to ensure that it is safe. Thank you.
On sunday, may 18, 2014, i started my 2010 toyota camry and my check engine and vehicle stability control lights were on. I had no previous issues with the car. I called the local dealership on monday morning to make an appointment, the first one i could get was just over a week away. I questioned the dealership if my car was safe to drive and they said yes, as long as the vsc light wasn't blinking. My car was checked by the dealership on may 27. I was told my brake actuator had gone out and the repairs were around $2,400 before taxes. The check engine light was from a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced, another $500+. The parts had to be ordered and it was may 30 when my car was ready. When questioning the dealership about why my brake actuator had gone out, they assured me that it was nothing i had done and they said they've had problems with others going out. After searching online i found that other models by toyota have had recalls for the brake actuator. If the company is having problems with the same piece of equipment in other models, the recall should be expanded. Mine was not included in the recall, but it was faulty and failed. After searching, i also found there have been various issues with the charcoal canister as well in various models by the company. Perhaps research should be done on this issue also. My car is 4 years old and when i took it to the shop it had 54,259 miles.i called toyota and they reiterated that my vehicle was not included in any recalls; therefore, at this point toyota could do nothing about the repair.
Purchased new 2010 toyota camry le , in first week acknowledged to dealership that it was shifting itself slowly like a stick shift. Also quickly accelerating when braking on turns. Told normal let the car break in. Few weeks trouble still continue. Took to dealership, told yes there is recall but need to wait for letter. At 1600 miles accelerator was changed, however vehicle still driving unsafely hard to come to complete stop, takes to long like it is downshifting. Vehicle jumps as driving and is riding rough. Now at 2000 miles and first payment dur not comfortable in car. Single mother that decided it was time to invest in a new car and stop dealing with used car problems has found in two months new car has millions of more issues. Not satisfied and very disappointed. Need another car but not in position to do so. Scared for family safety as many reports show people are being ignored by complaints and are dying.
I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times.i believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems.i also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others.brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist.they blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee.i changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist.i heard nothing for a week and i had to call them on again on monday (today).the service managers said there is nothing wrong.i just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend.i knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something.i also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend.the second dealer already knew about the issues before i got there.the service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires.the specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me.i also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and i could not have the info.
I have gotten two oil changes in two weeks.the vehicle burns oil to empty every 4-5 days.while driving the vehicle cuts off completely and the steering wheel locks.this is especially dangerous while driving on major highways and interstates.i work as a realtor part-time and for the local government full-time.my daily commute (mon-fri) is all major highway and interstate, for 3 hours round-trip.as a realtor, i drive all throughout the dc, maryland, virginia areas, 7 days a week.
On 9/24/2013, i was at my way sister home come from work, about to drive off, when the car would not turn over it sound it was flood itso i let it sit for a while and it still will not start so i call the tow truck to come and get and take it to the shop to see what was wrong with it the engine check light came on that morning but it start up fine, but to my surprise it would not start again. Left it at the shop and they call me the next morning and said they check the senor as the computer code told them to but it wasn't the sensor. After further investigation they took apart the passenger side wheels to show me that the crankshaft fly wheel inside the engine was messed up and the sensor wasn't detecting it any more. I have 81000 miles on this 2010 toyota camry. After taking the wheel off, speaking to a mechanic who was working on my vehicle.ask the mechanic if this was just a fluke deal or if the dealership had seen many broken crankshaft on toyota's. A few days later the service personnel told me he doesn't know how this could have happen. How many people who own toyota's have had to report a broken crankshaft? it sounds to me like toyota should know there is a problem with this part. Is this going to be another bit of information that gets kept from consumers? toyota should be looking into this to see if there is an issue with the crankshaft used on their vehicles.
I noticed a knocking sound coming from the engine when starting and the engine was cold. I took it to a dealership they had to keep it overnight to diagnose the problem. The mileage on my camry was 90317 miles when the dealership made the necessary repairs on sept. 10, 2014.i paid $849.79 for the repairs.i see on your site that this is a known defect on this model camry, a defect which the manufacturer is aware of. My question is should the manufacturer cover the cost ofmy repairs?
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that his wife informed him that, while making a turn, an abnormal clicking noise was heard and the oil warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving approximately 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to toyota of newnan (770-502-1333, 2 herring rd, newnan, ga 30265), but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The technician added oil and advised the contact to return after driving 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the piston was faulty and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 171,364.
Like so many other toyota vehicles; started using an excessive amount of oil ( @ one quart every 500 miles) at about 82,000 miles
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact was driving 40 mph when the vehicle decelerated to a complete stop without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer advised the contact that it was normal for the vehicle to stall once all the oil had been burned. The manufacturer was contact and also advised the contact that the failure was normal based on the circumstances. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 43,000.
Burning oil found the problem a 48,000 miles.i have to put a quart of every 1500 miles know i have 186,000 its getting worse no oil on ground
The engine burns oil excessively 2 qts per oil change every 3000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway from lack of oil on a long trip and if i do not check every week during regular commutes . I alsobelieve this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 5 years ago at a smaller rate 1/2 -1 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. The price to fix this problem was quoted by the dealer at $5000.
Sept.16, 2013,the car made a loud noise and i pulled the car over to the shoulder of the road turned the car off to inspect the vehicle, i found nothing wrong, i contacted a wrecker and the closest toyota dealership to have the car delivered for repairs. Sept. 17,i called them to find out what they found out about my car; i was informed by the service advisor that there is a hole in your block.i asked how could a car with only 56k mi. Throw a rod. He said they didn't know yet and would get back with me. Sept.19, i provided the dealership with all of my service records.they contacted toyota and called on sept. 20 they were going to remove the engine to look for the failure. They stated one of two things were the cause; the car was driven into a deep-water puddle allowing water intrusion into the engine or a component failure. I stated it wasn't even raining he day of the incident, his reply was then you have nothing to worry about. Sept.23 they called to inform me the engine was removed, photos were taken and sent to toyota for review. Toyota's stance was they were not going to replace the engine under warranty. Toyota claims that at sometime i allowed the oil level to get low, causing the engine to over heat and which lead to this failure. I stated that was utterly false, i routinely check the oil level in that car, it never requires top off oil in between oil changes. He apologized and said that is what toyota is saying. I researched and found toyota has experienced similar engine failures and they tend to push back honoring warranty claims. It is suspicious they did not remove the valve covers to check for probable causes in the head area since that has been the cause of these type engine failures. At this point, i have been advised to file this complaint with nhtsa; complaints with toyota customer relations andthe owner of the dealership have also been filed.
The car maintenance has been kept up per the manufacturer and always taken to the toyota dealer. The car was making a loud unusual noise from the engine; took it to toyota and the oil stick was completely dry. This was after just having a routine oil change about a month earlier. About 1,000 to 1,200 miles later, the same thing, no oil on the dip stick. Interestingly, there is no oil leak in the driveway either. The service adviser explained they don't know what it could be and there was no recall on the 2010 camry for this type issue. They topped off the oil again and said to come back at the 1,000 mile mark to have it checked again and to check it weekly as well. Made it to about 800 miles and again no oil. This is very frustrating as toyota corporation got to know that this is a manufacturer defect and need to recall these vehicles and fix this issue before someone gets seriously hurt driving a car with no oil since the oil light never comes on either as a warning. Lastly, the adviser did say it may be something with the engine that would cost us upward of $5k to $6k.
Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? this is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.
The vehicle is burning too much oil.
Car takes synthetic oil and losing 2 quarts every 3 months or so.no leak on driveway and no smoke from exhaust...
I went to get a oil change on october 28, 2014, i was told that i had a fluid leak(transmission or oil) anyway the dealership here in greenville, ms. Also told perform diagnosis lower front sub-frame assy. W/tranaxle plus engine-separate engine from trans. Plus replace rear crank seal plus replace both drive axle seals-reassemble plus reinstall plus top trans fluids, perform top engine de-carb this is what i was told shouldn't be having these problem just purchase car in feb 2013.
High consumption of engine oil, do not lubricate the engine, rotate the pinion of the vvt -i. After the oil change, add 3 to 5 additional rooms before the next oil change. Problem with 2009 and 2010 models
The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.
Initially, i thought i may have been imagining things but over this summer i noticed that my car was burning oil so fast, that i needed an oil change every 1000 miles. Recently, i got my oil changed at the end of august 2018, used ow-20 full synthetic and two weeks later, the oil had burned out. Last week on 9/13/18, i put 4 quarts in and today i checked my dipstick and it nearly dry. I am afraid that this matter will only continue to get worse. I don't understand how toyota wouldn't recall vehicles that are a safety danger.
Would like to be put on record that there is a problem with the cam gear on this model. Vehicle was worked on once to repair cold start noise (aprox. 10 seconds). Fix lasted about a month and noise has returned. Sounds like no oil/lubrication is getting to cam gear area. Concerned that engine may become damaged because of this.
Within approximately two minutes of a cold start had just made a left turn in the neighborhood.was accelerating through approximately 20 mph when the car stalled.rpm dropped from 2,000 to near zero and speed dropped from 20 to approximately 10.the stall lasted a few seconds and then the engine speed increased and the car drove fine from there.this is the third time this has happened in three weeks.
We brought this car from rosner toyota in fredericksburg va i question the engine noise from start up and it continues now extreme engine noise from start upwhile running until shut down sounds like a bent push rod or collapsedlifter or both it makes a large amount of noise on start up slows down as it warms up but it is still there always.i was told by the dealer they all make that noise that year i've listen to other toyotas from that year guess what no noise ever from the ones i listen to surprise i got lied to again.what a joke this has become.
Engine is consuming to quickly the oil
Notified dealer that the vehicle was using excessive oil.dealer ran on oil consumption check and during first oil consumption test determined that the vehicle had used 1 qt of oil within 1000 miles.dealer ran second oil consumption check and determined within 1000 miles the vehicle has used 1.2 qts of oil.the third check produced 0.5 qts of oil lost within 4212 miles.dealer felt that this amount of oil loss was acceptable.
Brief engine knock/rattle noise at cold statup (1ar/2ar).per toyota t-sb-0041-13 -- immediately following a cold startup, some 2009-2013 model year vehicles equipped with the 1ar-fe and 2ar-fe engines may exhibit a brief knock/rattle noise from the engine compartment for approximately one second.follow the repair procedure below to address this condition.this is due to worn / loose cam gears.a quick google search shows that this issue is rampant among many toyota models.toyota has issues a tsb, but not a recall.failure of this part can cause engine stoppage while driving.
The first incident happend on 8/3/2019, my oil light blinked on and off and it was not time for an oil change. So i checked it the next day and i had no oil in my car. Well it happened again tonight 9/12/2019, i have synthetic oil and the light litteraly just came on at the 5k mark. Leaving my mom the oil light blinked on and off again. Took to oreily and i had no oil in the car. I do not have a leak so obviously my car is now burning oil like all the other complaints. Come on toyota, you guys need to do better with this and recall the 2010's as well before i blow up my engine.
My car was consuming oil.after each oil change for the past year the oil in my engine would disappear.i took the car back three times complaining about the oil disappearing.each time, they would top it off with oil and tell me to drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back.finally, they told me that i would have to leave my car and an inspector would come out from toyota to make a determination if my engine could be repaired or if it would have to be replaced. The decision was made to replace the engine.toyota told me that if my car had not been certified, the cost would be mine.they paid for it.this marked the thirdmajor repair on a 2010 camry after driving it for 40,000.the rear brakes were sticking and the bearings in the front wheels had to be replaced prior to the engine blowing out.ridiculous!absolutely ridiculous.
Engine lower case crank seal leak.i called toyota corp. Office and they refused to help me.i have read all the complaints, and i believe this problem should have been a recall.toyota corp. Needs to recall and fix problem before someone gets seriously hurt driving a car without oil.the engine oil light does not come on. It can also cause an engine stoppage.i am a senior citizen and fear something will happen.the cost to fix is about $2200.00.i am a senior citizen and cannot afford that kind of money.i would appreciate it if you could help me with this problem.i will type the date i bought the car at the bottom of this form because it is asking date incident happened and won't take recent dates.thank you.

Engine is very noisey on start up and thereafter running.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry.the contact stated that while the vehicle was secured in park, the engine began to increase in rpms.after pressing on the brakes, the rpms returned to normal.the failure recurred twice.the manufacturer was notified, and offered no remedy. There was no diagnosis on the vehicle.the failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage 39,800. Updated 11/24/14*ljthe consumer stated the vehicle began to increase in rpm's while in park. On a separate occasion, the vehicle accelerated, the consumer had to stomp on the brake a couple of times, to get the vehicle to stop. Updated 01/08/15
At least 2 quarts of oil is missing at each oil change. Mobile 0w20 with new filter was used at each 6000 miles interval.no other oil was introduced to the engine and at least just one delay at 7000 miles instead of 6000 miles (1000 miles over).
My 2010, 4 cylinder toyota camry is using extreme amounts of oil. It has been tested for excessive oil consumption in 5/2016 and i was told it qualified for toyota's repair under enhanced warranty. Car was manufactured in 2009. Called 1/18/17 that they had gotten to my name on their very long list and to bring it in. After looking at the car to repair it, i was told the engine is a little different and it does not qualify for the repairs-even though it is obviously having the same problems. I was told to call corporate toyota to see if it could be included. They said no and that i need another oiled consumption test because last one is more than 6 months old. Basically, just told that i am responsible for the repair of the extreme oil consumption (approx 1 qt/250 miles).
I have noticed that when driving and stopping my driver seat shifts and move. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. I am having the issue with the sticky dashboard and read that it is from the melting of the dashboard, yet the year of my car is not on the recall list to get if corrected. I just noticed that when i start my car you have a noise coming from under the hood. Again not sure if anyone else is having this issue or not. My ac button will show that it is on but it actually is on. It is like the sensor is going out on it.
Excessive oil consumption; adding oil every 1000 miles. Noticed first approx. July 2017.
We have owned this car since new and followed the maintenance schedule religiously. The car is at 76,000 miles and yesterday i discovered that the car had burned through 2.5 quarts of oil less than 3000 miles from the last oil change. Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes. Upon researching the issue i found that the previous generation of this engine had piston issues that toyota eventually started fixing for free (after multiple class action suits). I took it in to my dealership and they recommended an entire engine overhaul to fix the pistons ($5000) of which they cover nothing. In addition they confirmed the slave cylinder was leaking and that the transmission would need to be overhauled a 2nd time ($2,600). Unfortunately i purchased this car in manual, and toyota barely sold any of these transmissions which has resulted in no acknowledgement of any manufacturer defects. While i understand the transmission is poorly designed but considered a wear item, i can not understand how the pistons on a car with regular maintenance would give out at 76,000 miles.
Toyota dropped the ball and didn't recall this engine oil consumption issue. I check recalls frequently. Now i'm stuck with a car that drinks a gallon of oil every 700-1200k miles. Even though they did extend the warranty to 10yrs/150k miles, this issue usually happens after then. So they knew what they was doing. My car is going to fail the test but toyota dealers tell me that toyota is going to help with any of the repair costs. Talk about pissed. Toyota and lexus just lost a loyal customer
Engine was making noise ans intermittently stalled. Took the dealer. He charged $135 for the diagnosis and said the engine is burning excessive oil. Real solution is to replace the engine for $4500. He did not offer any compensation. I got the engine oiled filled and drove back home.the car is useless for me. I cannot sell it or trade it. It is a junk now.
My car has been using a large amount of oil in the past year. I want some suggestions.
My 2010 canry 2.4l engine has been consuming 1 quart of oil monthly or every 1,000 miles. I woudl like toyota to fix problem free of charge.
Engine consumes oil at an accelerated rate. Toyota dealership confirmed that the engine on the 2010 toyota camry se is consuming oil. They advised that there have been recalls on other vehicles however it skipped this vehicle year. Toyota has not provided an option for repair aside from dismantling the engine and rebuilding at my expense.vehicle requires oil changes and/or oil replenishment almost every 600-1200 miles
Excessive oil consumption.about one quart per 1200 miles.did have the oil consumption monitored by toyota about a year ago and they said we passed.then we exceeded the mileage covered in the tsb
A knock or rattle noise, coming from engine compartment, is heard during a cold startup, sounds like a diesel engine. I have taken it in for every oil change when it is due, and no different. It has been this way ever since i bought it.
Every time i turn on the heating system of my toyota camry, i get this foul sulfur smell coming from the vents.i took it to the dealer and they say they ran tests on it but since they can't reproduce the smell there's nothing to do.thus far toyota has written it off to the sulfur levels in the fuel, yet i own a toyota corolla as well and have never had this experience.at the dealership they told me that the smell happens after the fuel is burned and passed through the catalyst converter, but i'm worried that separate systems -- the heating and the process of burning fuel -- cross together to bring that smell into the cabin of the car.i remember the previous big toyota recall and how they tried to brush the problem under the rug, but i hope this doesn't happen here. That is unless nhtsa is willing to let people inhale such noxious and possibly toxic fumes.

I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times.i believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems.i also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others.brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist.they blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee.i changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist.i heard nothing for a week and i had to call them on again on monday (today).the service managers said there is nothing wrong.i just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend.i knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something.i also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend.the second dealer already knew about the issues before i got there.the service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires.the specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me.i also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and i could not have the info.

The cruise control on my 2010 toyota camry sometimes continues to accelerate the vehicle after i take my hand off the cruise control accelerate lever. The speed of the car continues to accelerate until i hit the brake.
Started car and tachometershowed aprox 3000 rpm then went to idleit lunged forward if i did mot have my foot on the brake it would have smashed into a guard rail.
Aircondition compressor failed. And not pumping. Need new or rebuild parts only 2 year oldcar had only 38,000 miles on it.missed warranty by 2,000 miles.
I'm not sure exactly when the problems with unexpected acceleration began with this car, but they are fairly recent.all occurred when the car was stopped or moving very slowly.i do not have very good recollections of the earliest of these occurrences, but i can remember the last three clearly.the first of these was in march 2015.i was driving in an area where the speed limit was 35 mph and had stopped for a traffic signal.i remember clearly that i had my foot solidly on the brake pedal; i had been making a special point of that as a result of the earlier occurrences.i felt the engine speed up, but the car did not move.the second occasion was on march 29th when i was driving in a residential area and had stopped at a four-way stop.i was waiting for a pedestrian (walking a dog) who was crossing the road on the opposite side from where i was stopped.i do not have a firm recollection of exactly where my right foot was positioned, but it certainly was not on the accelerator.suddenly the car accelerated, heading toward the pedestrian.i was able to avoid hitting her by making a sharp right turn into the cross street and then bringing the car to a stop.the third occasion was on april 5th.in attempting to park the car in a lot near a grocery store, i turned the car into an empty parking space. I was pressing the brake pedal gently to bring the car to a stop at the curb on a median strip that separated my parking area from a similar one on the other side of the median.the car was just a few feet from where it should have stopped when it suddenly accelerated, jumped over the curb, and crossed the median, striking an unoccupied car parked on the other side.i was able to stop my car only after the crash caused some minor damage to the front bumpers of both cars.
I called lowe toyota dealership prior to service date 3/6/2010 to report delay in gas pedal, that is when accelerator from a stop delay, the is a delay and when turning on a/c it takes almost 1min. Before pressure builds for cooling and i thought this was not normal for a new vehicle with only 40 miles. Also at service date 3/6/2010 damage to front spoiler was not addressed and warranty by dealership was denied.
Purchased a new 2010 toyota camry. After ~ 300 miles the engine had a new noise on start up. It was diagnosed as a problem with the variable valve timing gear assembly.after picking up the car it has been draining oil and is now not drivable.
2010 toyota camry experienced acceleration on freeway exit ramp at 7:30 am during rush hour.put the car in neutral and the engine raced.car was pulled over to the side with engine still racing.the ignition was turned off and it stopped running.checked to see if there was an obstruction with a floor mat - there was none.after 30 seconds, started the car and it alternated between idle and engine racing while doing nothing to the gas pedal.recall fixes had not been done yet.dealers response was they did not know what caused it and didn't care what did - just put in the recall remedies and tried to give it back to us to "try this".we have no confidence that the problem was understood, or fixed or that the dealer even cares.their response was that it is toyota's problem not theirs.
I experienced a runaway acceleration while driving my 2010 camry le v6 (made in japan).while leaving the parking lot of my work place i was trying to pull away from a stop sign and the engine revved out of control.as i tried to pull away from the stop sign the tires slipped because it had just snowed.i gave it a bit more gas to get over the snow when the car started to pull away from the stop sign the engine revved out of control.i pressed and held down on the brake, the car continued to pull forward, i put the car in neutral and the engine was at redline for about 10 more seconds then returned to normal.at no time did i floor the accelerator,it was not stuck.i stepped down on the gas just a bit to clear the snow patch and the engine just revved out of control.i am lucky this didn't happen in traffic, and i knew enough to hold down firm on the brake, or there could have been an accident.
Car: 2010 camry le.twice since purchasing the car in november the car has accelerated on its own.when accelerating to pass, the gas pedal travels to the floor, when it was not pushed that far.both times i reacted by quickly putting the car in neutral and the pedal immediately returned to its neutral position.no damage, no injuries in either event.

The dashboard of my 2010 camry is melting, is so sticky.
For about a little over a year now, the dashboard on my toyota camry has reacted very oddly to the heat it endures. The dashboard looks like it melts when its hot outside then becomes very sticky. It looks terrible. If you touch it, it feels like glue. The dashboard gets so slimy that if you actually puncture it with a fingernail, the material of the dashboard gets under your nail. I have only had my vehicle for four years and i am very disappointed with toyota.
I purchased a 2010 toyota camry in july 2009. I was returning home from visiting relatives in nj. In early august. I was on a stretch of highway leading into 290 worchester from the mass pike auburn,when i accelerated to pass a semi truck and the accelerator stuck. I reached a speed of 85mph, so i punched the pedal with my feet and it dislodged. I reported the incident to the prime toyota dealership in saco,me.'s service dept. In nov. When i brought in the vehicle for a routine oil change. They had me remove the floor mats. I recently had the recall repair, so far there has not been another incident, but i am still leery about accelerating quickly and have not attempted to test pressing the pedal to the floor.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)on 8/10/9 we purchased a new 2010 toyota camry le, vin [xxx]. This vehicle has been recalled at least two times for two defects. No one seems to know what the problem is: gas pedal, floor mat, electronics etc. Since august we have only driven this vehicle 4,200 miles because are afraid of sudden excel ration and other phenomena that might occur. Moreover, we have lost a substantial sum on this vehicle due to the problems. We have lost confidence in toyota and its dealership. They lie, mislead, and give out wrong information. There is a real safety problem with toyota and all they do is deny.
I just bought a 2010 toyota camry and they did not tell me that there were 3 million in recalls on the vehicle.that is very dishonest.i also took my car to the service center and they said they did not know about the recall.that is lying.toyota did not look at my floormats or accelerator.they did nothing to secure my safety or evaluate my floormat or accelerator when i went in there.

Both front headlamp lenses have film buildup inside the projector housing causing headlight low beam to be dull and not enough output lumens. Unable to clean. Requiringreplacement headlights. Driving at night was almost impossible! very expensive to replace $1318.68. Dealership recommended that i call national customer service but they did not offer any financial help even though this is probably a design flaw. There are lots of other complaints online about same issues with camry,
2/5/2010on august 10, 2009 we purchased a new 2010 toyota camry. On the way home 9:00 p. M. We noticed that the headlights while driving down hills gave us 4ft. Of visibility. Also turning right or left, at right angles we had limited visibility. We notified the dealer immediately by phone and a letter on 8/11/09. The next day we drove to the dealership and again we notified the dealer. The salesman told us to take it in to the service department. On 8/13/09 @ 9:00 am, my wife took the camry to the service department. The mechanic told her that he only had slight adjustment, and that he adjusted the lights.upon driving it again at night we still had the problem. We immediately called toyota customer experience center. They gave us a case number, and he told us to contact our dealer again. On august 25, 2009, at 11:30 am we had an appointment to go back to the dealership. We were told that they were going to try and install sylvania brighter bulbs but toyota would allow them.eventually the dealership told us the headlights were set to toyota company specs and there was nothing more that they could do. (mileage in 188 mileage out 247 at kings toyota on 8/25/09). We have a total of 2,800 miles on our camry as of today. We are afraid to drive it after it gets dark. Toyota told us there is nothing more that they can do. They told us in is up to company specs.
I was stopped at a stop light behind a 2010 toyota camry. The led brake lights are so intense on that car that my retina's were red saturated.when the stoplight turned green i looked at my dash and the yellow maintenance light appeared green.this color saturation lasted a least 1 minute.this means that a yellow stop light would appear green and that a green light would appear yellow.there is no reason for this level of intensity such that my retina is saturated while stopped 5 feet behind a car in front of me.
2010 toyota camry.consumer writes in regards to scratches/cracks and mis-alignment of passenger side head light, split seam on front side panel and rear quarter panel damages.the consumer noticed a split seam on the front panel, where the vehicle connected to the fender. Also, the bumper was detached from the vehicle.
The head lights on high beam have gone out while driving,low beam works but very scary driving and lights just go out.now only low beam works just wondering when theymight go out while driving. Did some investigating to see how to fix and noticed that i am far from being alone on this one. When is someone going to step up and make toyota make this right with owners. Since the only fix seams to be replacing whole head light assembly at 2400.00 a pair !!! because replacing bulb will just blow out again and again . Ran my vin number no current recall this is a bunch of bull.
Light from headlights is inadequate.it seems to be half cut off at the top of the beam so that when the vehicle goes down hill the light only goes out about 20 feet and is totally impossible to see the road.i have to use the high beams all the time if traveling anyplace where there are hills.this is an ongoing problem every since i got the toyota camry.in the lexus they have made is the headlights move to compensate for this problem so toyota must be aware of it but isn't acknowledging it when we called the dealer.no fix is offered and the car is unsafe to drive at night in hilly terrain.
Stop with traffic in front. Car hits me into traffic from be hind vary fast damage to front and back swashed my car. Air bags did not go off for a fast hit front and back all at the same bag. That is what making me scared of being in the car.
Headlight problem - when driving the headlights do not adequately light up the left and right side of the road.when making a turn to the left or right you are blindsided...very dangerous.
2010 camry lewhen you are driving at night and you go over even a slight drip in the road/hill the front headlights only light up the road for approx 15 feet. Once you get on a level road the light appear to perform properly.
Defective head lights on my 2010 toyota camry le plus an unbelievable run-a-round from toyota.on 8/10/09 at 9:00 p. M. We noticed that the headlights while driving down hills gave us 4ft. Visibility. Going up hills it gave us 4 ft. Of visibility. View through the windshield was cut off by a blackness. We notified the dealer immediately.

On 8/13/09 @ 9:00 am, my wife took the 2010 camry in to adjust and fix the problem. The service mechanic told her that he only had slight adjustment and there was no more adjustment.toyota responded to my complaint after they received a copy of my letter to the senator. On tuesday march 2, 2010, i met with the service manager at beechmont toyota, and a field technical specialist with toyota motor sales inc.note: i purchased the vehicle at kings the day was bright and clear and it was daylight when i arrived at the dealership.after driving many miles, the service advisor said something to the effect that 'no matter how long he drove it, it wasn't going to get any better.' problem unsolved.when you drive at night in pitch-dark conditions it's as if you are driving in a boat with the lumen of the light surrounding all, the dark shroud still exists and visibility is severely restricted. I heard no more from the executive analyst at toyota.not enough room to describe the problem.updated 05/11/10.

My 2 months old 2010 toyota camry was in accident due to not able to stop. The brake was applied but gas pedal was stuck causing vehicle to hit the wall. The resulting damage was broken front axcel, infalting both front air bags etc.. The total repair cost was around $14000.00 my daughter was driving the car and she is experienced driver. She had mentioned that she was not able to stop the car even though the brake was applied. At the time of accident, the toyota recall was not made public so i ignored her complaint.
On friday, 25 march, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 toyota camry.she made a right turn & in about a half mile, the camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 mph from about 40 mph.she pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator.she said the check engine and the stability control lights were on.she tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok.she drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home.i arrived soon & i checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ecu was showing an active p0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance).so we drove the car slowly to atlanta toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, ga 30096.during the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off.i reported the code p0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms.the next day (saturday, 26 march 2011) atlanta toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ecu.i repeated the code that i had read.the rep stated they would check again.again atlanta toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly.on the drive home from the dealership i noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected.i inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had not been touched.my concern is thistoyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs.all they will say is, there were no codes.
In august 2009 i purchased a 4-cylinder automatic 2010 toyota camry le. Immediately after taking delivery i noticed that the car hesitated when i pressed the accelerator. When i press the accelerator it feels like the engine is not getting sufficient amount of gas and it will stall. It takes a noticeable amount of time for the engine to respond to the demand from the accelerator pedal. Upon contacting the dealer i was told that acceleration will smooth out after a couple of weeks. However, seven months later the hesitation is still there.from postings on the internet it appears that this has been an on going issue with camry which toyota has known for many years but instead of fixing the problem the company has tried to address it through tsbs including, but not limited to, eg056-06 and eg036-07. Based on my experience with 2010 camry and experience of many other 2010 camry owners posted on the web it is obvious that this problem continues to exist.in addition to being a design flaw it is also a safety hazard because the car does not react normally when the driver presses the accelerator. This is particularly dangerous when merging into traffic or getting on a highway. Car's hesitation before picking up speed can lead driver to misjudge the time needed to merge into traffic which can result in serious accident. Regretfully this is just one other safety issue that toyota has opted to ignore.it maybe worthwhile to note that this acceleration hesitation problem is tied to the same electronic module that controls the speed of the car and according to many experts maybe the actual cause of camry's sudden acceleration.
I have a toyota 2010 camry, bought july 2009,this car is not slow down properly, it always run for 2 to 5 seconds then i can feel it start to slow down,then take 5 more seconds drop about 2-3 mile, it compared with my other two cars, it is really show something wrong in this car. Then i heard toyota announce the recall all 2010 - 2007 camry for gas pedal problem, so i back to toyota sunnyvale,ca dealer to do the recalled fixes. However, my camry still has same problem like before.so i back to my dealer to compliant about it, there is service engineer did a test drive and wrote a report said it works as design. I told them my other two cars didn't happen like this way, all the car should be decelerated when foot is removed from the accelerator right way, toyota engineer just don't feel 2010 camry has anything wrong. But i don't feel this car is safe to drive like other cars. I think it could have potential trouble for driver safety. Please notify toyota to fix this problem soon.
The car didn't stop because the gas pedal got stock and the brakes wouldn't work , it occurred once , which caused the accident . Parts was repaired , i don't have the old parts or the car because it was a rental car ( 2010 toyota camry ) .

My wife owns a 2010 toyota camry, which has been to a local dealership for the gas pedal recall fix. On tuesday, march 2nd, i was driving her camry. I placed the shift lever in drive, took my foot off the brake, and the car suddenly accelerated at what seemed to be full throttle. My foot was not even on the gas pedal. I immediately hit the brake, and the acceleration ended, so the brake override did work. I returned the camry to the dealership, and i was told that this was normal for a cold engine. The engine was not cold when this happened. I had just driven it about 20 miles just a few minutes before the incident. I am being told there is nothing wrong with the car, yet we are driving a loaner car because the dealership management wants to look at the "allegedproblem" closer.
Every time i turn on the heating system of my toyota camry, i get this foul sulfur smell coming from the vents.i took it to the dealer and they say they ran tests on it but since they can't reproduce the smell there's nothing to do.thus far toyota has written it off to the sulfur levels in the fuel, yet i own a toyota corolla as well and have never had this experience.at the dealership they told me that the smell happens after the fuel is burned and passed through the catalyst converter, but i'm worried that separate systems -- the heating and the process of burning fuel -- cross together to bring that smell into the cabin of the car.i remember the previous big toyota recall and how they tried to brush the problem under the rug, but i hope this doesn't happen here. That is unless nhtsa is willing to let people inhale such noxious and possibly toxic fumes.
Sudden acceleration was noticed on occasions before the known recall.the vehicle still does it in reverse even after toyota did the repair (placed the insert in the gas pedal).the acceleration in reverse is frequent.i no longer feel that my vehicle is safe, but it is my sole means of transportation.immediately after the repair, i backed out of my garage, driveway, and went up my street (hundreds of yards) without using the gas pedal!

Ever since i have owned this car i've noticed the accelerator and brakes are extremely touch and impossible to accelerate smoothly from a stop. The brakes are also extremely touchy so it's hard to come to a smooth stop without jerking. I have never had a problem like this and after reading all the complaints about about the accelerator and brakes i'm very worried that my car will eventually cause an accident. I would like to know if the people who had accidents or near accidents had this problem before the car went out of control. When using speed control it will always blink and have to be turned off and on
Was driving about 45 mph, engine suddenly went to idle while petal was still depressed. Let off the pedaland pushed it down again and it started to work again.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that while pulling into a parking space, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration causing the driver to loose control of the steering and crash into a metal fence. During the crash the driver sustained a neck injury. No police report was filed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.
The problem is a faulty fuel pump. While in motion, the car stalls. It has stalled on city streets and on the highway. The engine shuts off. Toyota has a recall coming for fuel pumps on toyota and lexus vehicles. The recall is to be announced in march of 2020, but i'm not sure the 2010 camry is included, but it has the same problem, and the problem occurs on a daily basis.
Twice while driving last week the car abruptly and on its own, accelerated to a very high rate of speed. The first time, i was able to slow it down. The second time i pumped on the brakes several times, without result.i kept pumping and it was very difficult to stop.several more attempts and i was able to stop the car.the engine revved over and over and it took quite a bit of effort to actually stop the car. The engine only stop revving up when i put the car in park which gave a huge jolt to the car.i was able to stop, but not easily.i had my young son in the car with me and it was incredibly scary. The engine only stoppedrevvingwhen i put the car in park which caused a huge jolt of the car.
When gased, even lightly, the vehicle accelerates suddenly and aggressively.when rolling, without the driver accelerating, the vehicle self-accelerates. This has been noticed since it was purchased in 2014. Due to this concern, the vehicle is seldom driven.
I applied the brakes slowly as i was driving on the highway moving about 25 mph and instead of slowing down, the car accelerated--it jolted forward!i stepped on the brakes harder.this happened twice on one drive--i almost hit an 18 wheeler.is there something i should do?i'm not sure if it is safe to drive.
Opening the hood to add windshield wiper fluid, the hood release did not work, had to reconnect it.the power steering fluid was extremely low, have only owned car for 6 months, only 4000 miles on it. Sometimes when you let off the gas pedal, feels like the brakes engage, really slows the car down when "coasting".
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact attemptedto start the vehicle using the keyless entry and noticed that thevehicle would not start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the failure could not be repaired. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 6,000.updated 8/2/10 updated 08/09/10
My toyota 2010 camry accelerated by pressing my brakes,and my car crashed in to some bushes ata store parkinglot.afterwards i had my car towed to my toyota dealer.there service department claims that there is nothing wrong .i dont believe this?
The brake pedal was soft.the brake pedal would contact the floor mat in an emergency stop.
In extremely cold weather (less than 20 degrees)the transmission slips when first driven in the morning after minimum 4 minutes idling.engine rpm 3000 vehicle speed 1-2 mph. Transmission will slowly engage as engine warms up. Also engine and stability control light come on while transmission slips. Transmission will not slip on every cold day it happens whenever. In warm weather, alsowhen the engine is warmed up there are no problems. Transmission was replaced with a rebuilt from toyota but it still happens just a little less often.a year later december 2014 cold weather coming , i'm afraid the transmission will slip again. The local toyota shop should be considering an electrical or computer problem.
Stopped car,shifting from drive to park. Car accelerated. Hit cement buffer in parking lot. Uprooted buffer, dealership picked up car told me two hours later that there was nothing wrong with the car,explained to me how they had checked everything and taken pedal apart.2010toyota camry i lease had been into dealership03/05/10 for all recall repairs.called 911 but they did not come because it was private property and there were no injuries.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving approximately 40 mph, the gears independently shifted. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where it was diagnosed that the tcm module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 157,000. The vin was not available.
Car shaking on speed between 40-55 mph this issue appeared probably 3 years ago mean 2016 toyota dealer recommended to change transmission car wasn't hit 100.000 mileswhen i checked that not normal asking for any recall about transmission they said no please take it seriously i have 2 kids not too crazy with driving
At low speeds, vehicle is constantly shifting gears, making it impossible to maintain constant speed under 40 mph without complete concentration on throttle or by utilizing cruise control.gas pedal is highly sensitive and any small increase in depression of pedal at low speeds causes the vehicle to jerk forward.vehicle fails to go into neutral and decelerates rapidly when gas pedal is released.computer memory has been reflashed twice by dealer with no resolution.in my 50 years on the road, this is the most dangerous and aggravating vehicle i have ever driven.the electronic throttle/transmission combination on this model is not designed correctly and this vehicle should be recalled.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle was slow to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, while in first gear, the vehicle independently shifted into second and third gears and made an abnormal vibrating sound. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Transmission is aggressive. Reluctant to change gears resulting in a decelerating affect (downhill, uphill, coasting and in traffic). Danger to personal safety and other drivers as brake lights are not applied to notify others of vehicle slowing down. At a standstill, transmission is slow to accelerate and merge onto highway. Driving similar to steering a car with a brake caliper stuck.
On 07/09/2010, i was on my way home from work, driving down the highway at 60 to 65 mph, when a cam gear broke on my 2010 toyota camry (15878 miles on it).i put my car in the shop the next morning.before the engine was even taken apart, the service advisor told me that it sounded like a cam gear had broke.after taking the engine apart, sure enough, a cam gear had broke.my husband was later speaking to a mechanic who was working on my vehicle.my husband ask the mechanic if this was just a fluke deal or if the dealership had seen many broken cam gears on toyotas. The mechanic then told my husband that he personally, had seen several of these broken cam gears.a few days later the service advisor told my husband and i that he was not sure when the car would be repaired because there is a national back order on the cam gears for this car.is this going to be another toyota recall?how many people who own toyotas have had to report a broken cam gear?it sounds to me like toyota should know there is a problem with this part.is this going to be another bit of information that gets kept from consumers? toyota should be looking into this to see if there is an issue with the cam gears used on their vehicles.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 60 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side tire and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be balanced. As a result, the transmission and the front wheel bearing was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.
Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? this is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.
I pulled into sheetz in bedford at about 515am on 01/13/10.i pressed the on/off button on the dash at which time the lights went out.i exited the car and ensured that the key fob was in my coat pocket.i spent approx 5 minutes in the sheetz store. On my way out, an unidentified sheetz customer came into the store and asked who's white camery was in the parking lot. That was my rental. We exited the store and approached the car, which was now stopped at the bottom of the slopped parking lot and near a gray f-250. Noticed damage to the hood; front bumper and driver-side headlight.the customer began to tell me he had seen me approach the store from the car and then he saw the car roll away a few minutes later.he hadn't noticed i wasn't in the car. He said he ran to the car to check on me and realized i wasn't in the car.when i looked into the car i noticed that the car was in park and shut off.i asked the customer if he had touched the car and he advised no he hadn't. The car was off and in park when he got to it.there were no warning or beeping sounds as i left the car.this was a hertz rental car and they are now wanting me to pay for damages.the car is a 2010 toyota hybrid.i spoke with the local toyota dealership and they advised there is no reason for the rollaway if car is off and in park.i feel this is a toyota problem. Please advise.
Vehicle has acceleration surge, has done this several times. Also at times, vehicle does not slow done very well when coming to a stop, kind of like a fast idle.
75,000 miles on my 2010 toyota camry: for the past few years on cold mornings, the car will reverse and proceed 100 yards to the stop sign. Then when i step on gas, car revs up but doesn't move. Dealer said new transmission needed. Quoted me 7,000$. Another shop said it was the trans computer and or solenoid. They replaced. Was fine for a few months... Now does the same. Huge safety issue. Services regularly.
Another toyota consumer with no fix, they keep saying your car is not included your not having those issues... Your car was built in japan... I don't care it is having mind of its own and i suggested to them it is not floor mats etc... That at that time and still i felt it to be a computer issue with gas pedal as my car indeed has a mind of its own and takes off in a flash or will not stop engine continues to race rpm with brake smashed down i have own this 2010 camry since june of 2009 have 2000 miles of use out of it and shaky ones to say the least... No concern from toyota run around all the time like im making up stories as againyour car is not included in these problems 31,000.00 problem for me as car is not safe is not usable and can not be traded no one wants and values continue to fall quickly....... Make them accountable.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry.the contact was driving 10 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning.the contact stated that the vehicle was taken the vehicle to the dealer several times but the dealer was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure.the dealer stated that the computer would need to be reprogrammed but the dealer did not have a program for the vehicle.the contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive.the contact also stated that when the vehicle was parked, it would roll away abnormally.the failure mileage was 14,000.
I purchased a 2010 toyota camry from a toyota dealer on march 27, 2010 in columbus, ohio.i noticed that the bottom left-hand corner of the gear shift panel becomes hot when the head lights are turned on.i took the vehicle into the dealer (that i purchased it from) to get it looked at on tuesday, april 20 and they checked the vehicle. I was told that this was a normal occurrence for 2010 toyota camry's and that they would not be able to fix the issue.i am concerned because the cause of this defect was not identified, the dealer was not able to fix it, and i don't know if this issue is an indication of something more serious that could develop into a serious safety hazard.plus, this is a brand new 2010 vehicle.it was not pre-owned.i first noticed this issue when the mileage on my vehicle was between 500 and 1000 miles.i noticed this issue within the first 30 days of purchase before my temporary tags expired.if you have any questions or need any additional information, the best way to contact me is by the phone number provided.
The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.
Started car and tachometershowed aprox 3000 rpm then went to idleit lunged forward if i did mot have my foot on the brake it would have smashed into a guard rail.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph the vehicle began to independently accelerate. The engine rpms increased to 2500 as the contact attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was finally able to be stopped once the contact continuously applied extreme pressure to the brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and advised the contact that the torque converter was the cause of the acceleration, which he stated was a normal occurrence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure and current mileage was 29,900.
I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times.i believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems.i also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others.brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist.they blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee.i changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist.i heard nothing for a week and i had to call them on again on monday (today).the service managers said there is nothing wrong.i just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend.i knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something.i also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend.the second dealer already knew about the issues before i got there.the service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires.the specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me.i also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and i could not have the info.
While pulling into my driveway, with my foot on the brake, slowly coming to a stop the car suddenly accelerated and ran into the front of our house. ( uncommanded accelration) i have contacted toyota and have been advised that my car is not under current recall.
We have owned this car since new and followed the maintenance schedule religiously. The car is at 76,000 miles and yesterday i discovered that the car had burned through 2.5 quarts of oil less than 3000 miles from the last oil change. Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes. Upon researching the issue i found that the previous generation of this engine had piston issues that toyota eventually started fixing for free (after multiple class action suits). I took it in to my dealership and they recommended an entire engine overhaul to fix the pistons ($5000) of which they cover nothing. In addition they confirmed the slave cylinder was leaking and that the transmission would need to be overhauled a 2nd time ($2,600). Unfortunately i purchased this car in manual, and toyota barely sold any of these transmissions which has resulted in no acknowledgement of any manufacturer defects. While i understand the transmission is poorly designed but considered a wear item, i can not understand how the pistons on a car with regular maintenance would give out at 76,000 miles.
My car jerks at low speeds during stop and go traffic during my daily commute from work.the movement is very noticeable and you can feel that something is wrong with the transmission.this is a brand new car (2010) with 25, 584 miles but it drives very rough as if its an older car.transition from low speeds is not smooth at all. Typically, this surge occurs only between the speed range of 0-45/50 mph. Rpm gauge drastically jumps or increases, then falls back down momentarily.and it only occurs when driving in city or stop and go traffic before coming to a stop but while driving on speed limit on highway it is fine.the car shift/jumps sporadically causing vehicle to jump forward a little bit and causing delay before coming to a complete stop.i do not know what to do at this point, i have taken the car to the dealer twice already and they keep insisting that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.i have been on two separate test drives with different technicians who have been unable to recreate the event.but obviously it is not something i can recreate while in the passengers seat.this is something that the tech has to be able to feel the harsh shifting transition him/her self.a shifting re-calibration has been performed once on the car but the jerking has continued to occur following the test. This is the first brand new car that i have bought and i completely frustrated with the dealer and toyota.the reason i bought a toyota is because i wanted a reliable and smooth car to drive to work everyday and i did not expect to be having these kinds of issues with a brand new car.i have been insulted by the dealership service dept and their list of cause factors ranging from possibly because i drive in heels, to having a/c turned on, to the car only providing maximum performance.it is all a bunch of excuses, i wish they would actually do something about this problem.however, i will continue to go in and be a nuisance until this issue is resolved.
I bought a 2010 toyota camry that has the new six speed automatic transmission. When i was coasting to slow down the transmission seemed to disengage and did not hold back anymore. I came within a foot of running into the rear of the car in front of me which was stopped at a red light. This had happened many times before but never this close to an accident. When the car reaches around 20mph the transmission doesn't hold back any longer and you have to put your foot on the brake hard. It is not a good feeling. On may 22, 2009 i called the salesman and he told me to come in and drive another 2010 camry to see if that transmission acted the same since this was the first year for the new six speed automatic. I took it in on the 22nd and the salesman and i took a new 2010 camry out for a drive and it acted the same way. So the conclusion was that all the 2010 camrys were the same and i would have to live with it. My wife is very leary about driving this car and afraid she will run into someone. We haven't had a problem with the accelerator, but the transmission seems to be a problem.we are very concerned now that the other problems have arisen about the camry.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that on june 1, 2010 while the vehicle wasin the parked position, she heard a loud noise and saw the vehicle moving. The vehicle crashed into the side of a garage. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer who also stated that the vehicle should be inspected again by an authorized dealer. The current and failure mileages were approximately 10,000.

Purchased new 2010 toyota camry le , in first week acknowledged to dealership that it was shifting itself slowly like a stick shift. Also quickly accelerating when braking on turns. Told normal let the car break in. Few weeks trouble still continue. Took to dealership, told yes there is recall but need to wait for letter. At 1600 miles accelerator was changed, however vehicle still driving unsafely hard to come to complete stop, takes to long like it is downshifting. Vehicle jumps as driving and is riding rough. Now at 2000 miles and first payment dur not comfortable in car. Single mother that decided it was time to invest in a new car and stop dealing with used car problems has found in two months new car has millions of more issues. Not satisfied and very disappointed. Need another car but not in position to do so. Scared for family safety as many reports show people are being ignored by complaints and are dying.
My 2010 camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge i'm experiencing. I contacted toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" i think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the rpm dial when i go to stop. He saw the rpm dial move up to almost 2000 when i hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 camry and it did the same thing.i had a 98 avalon and a 03 camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older toyota's. He assured me that my car is safe and i have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here i'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think i'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because i love my new car...i'm just really nervous driving it.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions the vehicle began to slip out of gear without warning. In addition, the vehicle lunged forward. The driver was able to continue driving. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician stated that the failure was contributed to thepollution control system.the vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 25.
My cars transmission shifting is very rough and "clunky" when coming to a stop sign or traffic light.many times the car will seem to downshift resulting in a strong pulling (almost a braking sensation) preventing a normal coasting to a stop since, you need to keep pressing the accelerator to counteract the downshifting during a slow down.this has almost caused an accident several times.also, conversely, the transmission seems to push the car forward in the final breaking moments due to the transmission shifting patterns.i have almost bumped the car in front of me a few times because of this.i have taken the car to the dealership and the transmission has been recalibrated several times resulting in a temporary fix but, the problem returns, sometimes in less than 24 hours of the recalibrating.i believe this is a safety concern due to my experiences of near accidents with my car.
The car didn't stop because the gas pedal got stock and the brakes wouldn't work , it occurred once , which caused the accident . Parts was repaired , i don't have the old parts or the car because it was a rental car ( 2010 toyota camry ) .
Two weeks before, i had two recall fixes done for my 2010 camry (sticky pedal, floor mat entrapment). Although for the initial two days, it looked like maybe it worked, since then the same old problems with the car are persisting. In the past, leading to the recall fix, i had lodged several complaints (including one before the gas pedal recall announcement) with toyota and their dealer. My car has a weird transmission at speeds 0-45mph. The braking is also not smooth and it does feel like the car is for a second not accelerating when it should or brake when it should. At this time, i have given up on this as it seems to be a waste of time trying to explain my position and get it fixed. A second attempt to reach out to toyota through their website (since their 1800 support number keeps you waiting forever) - [incident: 100130-000604] on 1/30. There was no response from toyota on this.
Tuesday april 27 i was driving my 2010 camry in the great smoky mountains descending a mountain road. I tested downshifting at several speeds into various gears to determine if it was possible to slow down the car under runaway accelerator conditions. I hadwrongly assumed that bad drivers had failed to use the controls of the car to slow down and stop such vehicles. The computer refused to accept my command to downshift into 1st gear at speeds above 25 mph. I did not try higher speeds into 2nd. Clearly the product manager and program engineers at toyota do not understand that saving the transmission or engine from stress could lead to destruction of that same car and it's occupants in their foolish decision to limit driver command and control. A fault in the computer could lead to entire failure of the transmission shift commands and engine control system ecu. This same flawed thinking has led to many airbus aircraft fatal crashes. The flight control computer feels it is more intelligent that the stupid captain at the controls so it will not allow a flight control input it does not agree with. When the sensors are defective, or the flight envelope requires emergency actions, etc., tough luck. Now, i realize that toyota has followed the same flawed thinking. I am an instrument rated pilot and i believe the operator should have total control of the vehicle. No command interlocks to prevent emergency operations should be tolerated. How can i trust this vehicle now that i know it will kill due to programming errors even if i try to regain control in a normal manner?
I have a toyota camry xle 2010 that i purchased late last year. The vehicle was working normally during the recall period lately. However, after receiving the recall notice from toyota, i brought it to the dealer to have it fixed on the protential problems. That was done about 2 weeks ago. The service manager to me that they would update the computer system so that if the gas pedal and the break are applied at the same time, the system will cut off or reduce its power for safety. During the last 2 weeks the vehicle seemed to be working fine. Then last week i brought it back to the same dealer (team toyota, pa) to have an oil change. This morning (tuesday 03/23/2010) i've noticed a problem on my vehicle while driving: when i step on the gas pedal to move forward i can feel that the vehicle tried a bit harder than normal, but as soon as i lift up my foot off the gas pedal, the vehicle seems to slow down or lost its power so fast that it lost its momentum quickly and feeling like someone is stepping on the break. This seems to be a reverse affect of the recalled problem. I'm feeling nervous. I'm going to call the dealer today, but i'm pretty sure they couldn't do anything about it until the problem is recognized by toyota themselves.
I bought a brand new 2010 toyota camry and when i was on my 30degrees inclined driveway with the engine running on driveand i took my legs from the accelerator and brakes when the car started to roll down the driveway as if it was on neutral and not on d.this is happening again and again but sometimes it does not happen. The date was 9/5/2010 not 9/5/2009.
Since the time i bought my new 2010 toyota camry, i saw issues with the way the car transmission worked at speeds from 0-50mph. Starting from the first week of my using the car, i went to the dealership a total of 4 times, only to be sent back after a "test drive" saying nothing is wrong. In my own language, i had been explaining the issue which now looks exactly similar to the 'sticking gas pedal" recall recently informed by toyota. My car was still accelerating while braking, or would start braking when my foot is off the accelerator. I also used to feel a jerk when the car moved between speeds of 0-50mph. I commute 70 miles daily to work and i have noticed this daily to the point that i have started ignoring out of deep frustration. The dealer test drives and causes embarrassment saying they cannot recreate my issue. I logged an incident with toyota (091214-000053). It led to my fourth visit to the dealer with the same answer. Toyota's response from a case manager was that if they cannot recreate they will not do anything. I almost feel this is a hopeless case as i don't think neither toyota nor the dealership were truly serious about assisting me. They could have at least informed me that there are some potential issues with their vehicles that they are working on. I reopened a new case (100130-000604). So far i have received no recall notice from toyota. I don't think they are handling this the right way. I haven't had any major incidents, but i don't think i can wait for that to happen to get the attention of toyota or its dealer. This is not a smart way of solving an issue. I feel disappointed, angry and helpless.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While the vehicle was stopped in drive, the vehicle rolled backward and stalled. The failure occurred everytime the vehicle was idling in drive. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000 and the current mileage was approximately 15,000.
My 2010 camry was purchased in sept. 09.in november i noticed a problem when the car is on a slight incline, foot on the break and you take your foot off the break the car rolls backwards. This has happened about a dozen times, when in january i finally took it to the dealer & was told all 10 camry's do this because of the new 6 speed transmission. The service mgr. & i took the car for a test drive, and we replicated the problem.i told him i didn't think this was normal, that i thought it was a safety issue if someone was behind me in another vehicle and wanted it reported to toyota - he said he would and would call me back.to date i have heard nothing.
I have a 2010 toyota camry with automatic transmission, driving in a ramp, the car will slide back down to the bottom if i release my foot from the brake. Many times, in a stop and go situation, i almost hit the car behind me.
My 2010 toyota camry rolls back while in drive on a less than 10% incline. It behaves like a stick shift except you can not control the roll with a clutch other than putting your left foot on the brake to keep it from rolling back. I complained to toyota national and no one responded. The dealership tells me it's normal. Clearly it is not.
My 2010 toyota camry was purchased in sept '09.in oct. 09, my car was on about a 10 degree incline, foot on the break, when i took my foot off the brake it began to roll back.this has since happened about a dozen times.i took it to metro toyota in januaryand was told nothing was wrong.i complained to the service mgr. Who test drove the car with me & replicated the problem.i was told this was normal for the '10 camry's because of the new 6-speed transmission.i said i did not think this was normal &asked him to refer the problem to toyota & call me back.nothing ever happened - so in feb. I called the service mgr again who called me back a week later & said there is nothing else that could be done.

On my way to work on new years eve 2012 i lost control of my 2010 toyota camry and went of the road and hit a telephone pole at about 30 miles per hour.i was knocked unconcious and suffered immediately noticable injuries to my face, arms, chest and knees. The police said i was not wearing my seatbelt and none of the airbags deployed at all. I always wear my seatbelt, no matter what!on top of that, the dinger that goes off when there is no seatbelt on is very annoying and alone would cause me to put it on.there is no way i would listen to a dinger for a 45 min drive to work and not put my seatbelt on, and i was 10 minutes from work when it happened. The only explanation is that the seatbelt was clipped enough to turn off the dinger but not enough to lock because my injuries indicate that i did not have any bruising or marks from a seatbelt and my head had cracked the windshield, which would be impossible with a sealtbelt that worked and an airbag that deployed properly.this was the second accident where this car did not deploy the airbag.the first was a rearend that shoved my car into the car in front of me and no airbag deployed. After insurance looked at the car, it was determined it was a total loss from the damage to the front end.

In a rear end collision the back of the driver's seat in my 2010 toyota camry failed, reclining me and folding the back intov. As a result i was restrained only by the lap belt.the car appears unrepairable.
I have noticed that when driving and stopping my driver seat shifts and move. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue. I am having the issue with the sticky dashboard and read that it is from the melting of the dashboard, yet the year of my car is not on the recall list to get if corrected. I just noticed that when i start my car you have a noise coming from under the hood. Again not sure if anyone else is having this issue or not.

Ever since i have owned this car i've noticed the accelerator and brakes are extremely touch and impossible to accelerate smoothly from a stop. The brakes are also extremely touchy so it's hard to come to a smooth stop without jerking. I have never had a problem like this and after reading all the complaints about about the accelerator and brakes i'm very worried that my car will eventually cause an accident. I would like to know if the people who had accidents or near accidents had this problem before the car went out of control. When using speed control it will always blink and have to be turned off and on
Twice while driving last week the car abruptly and on its own, accelerated to a very high rate of speed. The first time, i was able to slow it down.

On sunday, may 18, 2014, i started my 2010 toyota camry and my check engine and vehicle stability control lights were on. I had no previous issues with the car. I called the local dealership on monday morning to make an appointment, the first one i could get was just over a week away. I questioned the dealership if my car was safe to drive and they said yes, as long as the vsc light wasn't blinking. My car was checked by the dealership on may 27. I was told my brake actuator had gone out and the repairs were around $2,400 before taxes. The check engine light was from a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced, another $500+. The parts had to be ordered and it was may 30 when my car was ready. When questioning the dealership about why my brake actuator had gone out, they assured me that it was nothing i had done and they said they've had problems with others going out. After searching online i found that other models by toyota have had recalls for the brake actuator. If the company is having problems with the same piece of equipment in other models, the recall should be expanded. Mine was not included in the recall, but it was faulty and failed. After searching, i also found there have been various issues with the charcoal canister as well in various models by the company. Perhaps research should be done on this issue also. My car is 4 years old and when i took it to the shop it had 54,259 miles.i called toyota and they reiterated that my vehicle was not included in any recalls; therefore, at this point toyota could do nothing about the repair.
While driving on highway the vehicle suddenly lost steering with no ability for the driver to control direction of the car. Car departed from its lane and then crossed two lanes involuntarily but lanes were free of traffic so an accident was avoided.at the same time the car shook and vibrated.the driver immediately braked and the brakes did reduce the speed of the car. The ability to steer was recovered after approximately 1 minute. The car was towed to a service station.a review of the computer data (trouble codes) indicated a failure of the abs actuator and steering angle sensor.maurice at the toyota customer experience center aid the toyota company will not take any responsibility for the failure and he also said that, "no assistance would be given" as the car was out of warranty.we have a case number filed with toyota. Toyota says this hazardous and terrifying incident is not the result of a design flaw or a manufacturing defect. We have lost confidence in the safety of this toyota vehicle.
I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times.i believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems.i also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others.brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist.they blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee.i changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist.i heard nothing for a week and i had to call them on again on monday (today).the service managers said there is nothing wrong.i just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend.i knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something.i also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend.the second dealer already knew about the issues before i got there.the service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires.the specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me.i also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and i could not have the info.

I was driving on the highway going about 60. My check engine light was on but i was told by toyota that i can still drive car as long as it is not blinking. My service appointment was for next day thursday the 12th. While on highway car lost all power started to slow down and lights started blinking. A huge truck was behind me and was beeping to avoid hitting me. I managed to pull car to side if highway and car shut off by itself. I waited 5 min and the car stated and i managed to get home.

In late august 2019 while returning home from shoppingon a fast speed streeti needed to slow down to make a turn andthe break pedal went all the way to the floor, made a vibrating noise, the break light came on red and with the pedal going all the way to the floor and barely breaking i was able to go home, (about a mile), driving at 5 mph. Had car towed to dealer where they replaced master cylinder and power booster with cost of around $ 2,000.00. The car only had 31,026 miles, all requested services were done on time or even before time, no sign of spongy pedal or breaks red light coming up for warning before this happening. We were very lucky to not crash the car in a bad accident or to be on a tallway. Lately i discovered emergency break not working, (never checkedafter repairs) while car left on drive and put emergency breaks, carmoves.certainly i will not return to dealer where i went since i bought the car, did they forgot to check the emergency breaks after breaks repair?as they had forgotten other thing after past services. Never toyota again. When i talked to toyota national headquarter i was told the dealer gave me a very good price and they partner with dealers. I asked if the would reimburse some since the car is not even at 36,000 miles and they told me the car is 10 year old! they would not do anything about it. This car has always been kept in the garage, driven weekly around and one day of the week driven at fast speed to keep everything in order.my car is like new, with all the care i take for, including keeping it washed. I never had in my life some like this happen, on any car i drove..on 2/09/2010 there was a recall for service breaks maybe there was more cars than they listed. I read many complaints about same problemlike mine but such cars seemed to have lots of more miles than me, sincerely, [xxx]redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*cc
The brake rotors warped at 23000 miles causing the steering wheel to shake violently.the dealer said that the rotors were not covered by the manufacturers warranty and i paid to have them resurfaced.8000 miles later therotors warped again with the resulting severe steering wheel shaking.this could result in the loss of control and accidents.checking on the internet i discovered that this is a common problem with toyota products and i believe the rotors are substandard and a safety hazard.toyota should recall all affected vehicles and replace the rotors with quality ones and upgrade the rotors in all cars built from this time on.

We purchased a 2010 toyota camry in august of 2009. We have had several issues with the car since we purchased it. Our main concern is that on occasion when applying the brake the car with actually lurch forward as it brakes. It does not do this all the time and the malfunction is not predictable.
In oct 2009 we purchased a 2010 toyota camry hybrid sedan.we immediately noticed that there was a lag or delay when we applied the brakes. I noted to my wife that i never came so close to the car infront of me when stopping...repeatedly.i told this to my sales rep at the dealer at which i bought the car, and he said, no issue.-happens consistently at all speeds.so far no accident, but very close to frequently rear-ending cars- no repairs--told not an issuei ask that you add the 2010 toyota camry hybrid to the list of problem toyotas.thanks you
We bought a 2010 toyota camry less than six months ago. From the beginning we had problems with the brakes,which makes a knocking sound. Took it back to fred haas toyota on two to three occasion, they claim nothing was wrong each time. I also experienced the acceleration problem which i told them about,still nothing was done. We have 5 years to pay for a car that is a danger to myself & my family.
Rental vehicle accelerated while stopping, rental agency hertz, cookeville tn.problem occurred on interstate exit ramp, the car decelerated from 70 to 55 then down shifted and started to accelerate up the exit ramp. I was able to stop the car and the rental agency informed me that the car had been serviced for the recall. As a test/reliability engineer, i classify this vehicle has unsafe.
Camry hybrid 2010.bought new and complained to toyota of surging forward inconsistency during my daily two hour commute.i asked if they planned to fix it during my last service visit and the answer was "nope."when asked that they do fix it, the answer was, "nope!". You will be notified in april when the pedals are going to be fixed.i have had nightmares of speeding out of control and am afraid to drive this car.do i have any recourse.this is not the car i thought i purchased months ago.
We bought our 2010 toyota camry on 12/31/2010 unaware of the recall that was about to hit. When we started hearing about the recalls, we got on the toyota web site. Our vehicle that we purchased 2 weeks prior was now on a recall list. When we contacted our local dealer, they said to do nothing, toyota was sending out a letter the following week with all recall cars listed and when to bring them in. We never received a letter from the company nor the local dealership. When calling to demand this issue be fixed on monday 3/8/2010, they took my name and number, said someone would call me back, and never did. My car has depreciated, i can't even get out from under it and am scared to death to drive it. I am appalled at the lack of response or concern from this company. I want out of this contract !!!
On 07/13/10 has an accident in a 2010 camry. Was coasting into parking space infront of hess gas station and car suddenly accelerated without pressing on the gas. All i could do was press on the brake as hard as i could car would not stop? fhp responded and no traffic ticket was issued. Contact insurance they transport car to repair shop car did not sustain damage where car was not drivable. I refuse to drive car and very affraid to drive it. Went to dealership they want to conduct an investigation. How do i know whether ornot their investigation is impartial and true. If there where an true problem with the engine or the accelerator would they actually admit it?
I have a 2010 toyota camry. Abs lightand vsc light illuminates insistently on dashboard when pressing on brake. This is happening for 4 months.
My 2010 camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge i'm experiencing. I contacted toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" i think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the rpm dial when i go to stop. He saw the rpm dial move up to almost 2000 when i hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 camry and it did the same thing.i had a 98 avalon and a 03 camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older toyota's. He assured me that my car is safe and i have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here i'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think i'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because i love my new car...i'm just really nervous driving it.
Abs brake failure on my 2010 toyota camry.no accidents, as i have been through two professional driving courses.however, hearing the incidents of the prius brake issues caught my attention.there is an inconsistency with the operation of the abs system on my johnson & johnson fleet camry that was delivered in october, 2009 (2010 model).if there is a need to "tap the brakes" they will lock up and the car lunges forward.when applying the abs brakes on gravel or loose/uneven pavement, it makes a clicking noise and the car seems to "hop," rather than come to an appropriate stop.it seems identical to reports/complaints that i've heard around the prius.normally, i would not even consider sending an alert to you.however, hearing interviews on the news and reading further about the recall, i felt very compelled to let you know.i am the assigned driver to this fleet vehicle.it is owned & licensed to johnson & johnson healthcare services.

My car was consuming oil.after each oil change for the past year the oil in my engine would disappear.i took the car back three times complaining about the oil disappearing.each time, they would top it off with oil and tell me to drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back.finally, they told me that i would have to leave my car and an inspector would come out from toyota to make a determination if my engine could be repaired or if it would have to be replaced. The decision was made to replace the engine.toyota told me that if my car had not been certified, the cost would be mine.they paid for it.this marked the thirdmajor repair on a 2010 camry after driving it for 40,000.the rear brakes were sticking and the bearings in the front wheels had to be replaced prior to the engine blowing out.ridiculous!absolutely ridiculous.

I work in the maintenance department at curtis-maruyasu in lebanon,ky. We make fuel and brake lines for toyota. When the toyota plant in indiana(subaru plant) complained of brake lines leaking, our boss told us to deny knowing about any problem if asked by toyota representatives that would visit to investigate, even though we knew of problems for several months prior to being informed by toyota about problems with 2 benders that shape the brake lines. There have also been follow up visits because the problem was not resolved. I am just now reporting this because i do not want to lose my job, but my conscience tells me that i need to report this. I hope this is the right place to do it.
My toyota camry failed to stop at an intersection when brakes were applied. Did not experience this problem before this particular incident. The car has been at the dealer ship. The dealership says, there is nothing wrong with the braking system.
1. The car had a failure in the brake system according to:the repair shop, the insurance adjustor and toyota independent inspection.basically a bolt that secures the hose to the caliper was loose which caused the oil to leak and the brakes to fail. It is important to note that there was no negligence of maintaining the car since the car is new - only about 4,000 miles -and serviced only at the dealer according to service schedule.

I'm not sure exactly when the problems with unexpected acceleration began with this car, but they are fairly recent.all occurred when the car was stopped or moving very slowly.i do not have very good recollections of the earliest of these occurrences, but i can remember the last three clearly.the first of these was in march 2015.i was driving in an area where the speed limit was 35 mph and had stopped for a traffic signal.i remember clearly that i had my foot solidly on the brake pedal; i had been making a special point of that as a result of the earlier occurrences.i felt the engine speed up, but the car did not move.the second occasion was on march 29th when i was driving in a residential area and had stopped at a four-way stop.i was waiting for a pedestrian (walking a dog) who was crossing the road on the opposite side from where i was stopped.i do not have a firm recollection of exactly where my right foot was positioned, but it certainly was not on the accelerator.suddenly the car accelerated, heading toward the pedestrian.i was able to avoid hitting her by making a sharp right turn into the cross street and then bringing the car to a stop.the third occasion was on april 5th.in attempting to park the car in a lot near a grocery store, i turned the car into an empty parking space. I was pressing the brake pedal gently to bring the car to a stop at the curb on a median strip that separated my parking area from a similar one on the other side of the median.the car was just a few feet from where it should have stopped when it suddenly accelerated, jumped over the curb, and crossed the median, striking an unoccupied car parked on the other side.i was able to stop my car only after the crash caused some minor damage to the front bumpers of both cars.

I owned 2010 camry le and when it reached approx. 30,000 miles warranty the front brake started vibrating and i felt l like the wheel was going to come off when i stepped on the brakes from high speed and going downhill. I'm not a professional mechanic but i knew it was a warp brake rotor. I hadthe rotor turned and that's all it takes.i think it is very premature for a brake rotor to fail at 30,000 miles and most especially for a camry. I was bit surprise when the dealer told me that my brake was no longer covered under warranty due to my mileage. All along i thought that it was 36mos/36000 miles bumper to bumper warranty but i was wrong, so no more toyota next time and not recommending toyota to family members and friends.
The brake pedal was soft.the brake pedal would contact the floor mat in an emergency stop.

I have a 2010 camry approx 11,000+ mileage.i had my car checked for the brakes due to the popping sound when release brake pedal and clicking after putting car in reverse and then drive.toyota responded:the sound you are hearing is normal operation of the brake system. When you shift from reverse into drive, the brake calipers mechanically adjust to the vehicle's forward motion. When this adjustment happens, a clicking sound can sometimes be heard. This is a normal characteristic of the vehicle and will not cause any issues to the brake system.i just dropped my car off again this morning to have repairs done for the recall after the first time telling me that it wasn't sticking; but i heard that it should still be repaired.i asked them to check the brakes again and the service rep said the sound doesn't sound normal.i'm extremely nervous driving the car and worried about the unknown of what can happen.i have been driving cars for many years and never had the brakes sound this way.
2010 toyota camry. Consumer requests assistance with a reconsideration of interest rate and repair issue with vehicle *tgwthe consumer stated she took the vehicle to the dealer due to a noise that was occurring right after she started the vehicle and put it in drive.the noise existed from the time she purchased the vehicle. The explanation she received was that all camry's made that noise as it came from the braking system engaging.the consumer requested to ride in another camry to comparethe sounds as her vehicle was very loud. The service manager was unable to locate the same braking system on the lot. The service manager then stated he would open a technical assistance system case and when a specialist was in the area, they would have him inspect the vehicle. The manager contacted the consumer and informed her, the specialist would not be inspecting the vehicle as they had received several complaints and they determined the problem to be the abs actuator, but there was no fix at the moment.

Drifting in 2010 toyota camry. Vehicle would drift left and rightbut not go straight. After several alignments and replacement of tires and wheels a new wrack was installed and that eliminated the problem. I am aware of 3 other 2010 camrys at the same dealership experiencing the same problem.
I own a 2010 toyota camry xle and i have noticed while highway driving, the car will drift into other lanes. I almost lost control when i attempted to maintain control of the car in my lane. My car almost swerved out of control and i took my foot completely off of the accelerator to regain control. This incident occurred when the car had less than 500 miles. I attributed that specific incident to a cross wind however i have experienced similar situations while highway driving. I am afraid to drive this car on the highway. This car requires the driver to constantly adjust the steering wheel to stay in the appropriate lane. I currently have 1500 miles on this car. Updated ivoq 12/10/10

Opening the hood to add windshield wiper fluid, the hood release did not work, had to reconnect it.the power steering fluid was extremely low, have only owned car for 6 months, only 4000 miles on it. Sometimes when you let off the gas pedal, feels like the brakes engage, really slows the car down when "coasting".

I bought a brand new 2010 camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which i have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly.moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving.also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, i cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but i am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first toyota i've owned, and it will be the last.
My new 2010 toyota corolla's eps (electronic power steering) is erratic and unresponsive. Starting at speeds around 55-60mph, the steering wheel wobbles half an inch to an inch, although i've only drove it off the dealer's lot within the last month. This wobble causes the vehicle to sway back and forth within my lane, which could cause a serious accident if another vehicle was close enough to mine. Needless to say, this could result in a major collision if an accident occurred. The dealer failed to acknowledge a problem and toyota usa didn't contact me about a fix either.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the steering shaft was making a clicking sound. The failure made it very hard to turn the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated when attempting a turn in either direction, the steering wheel would wobble abnormally and the vehicle would pull abruptly to either side. In addition, when braking in wet road conditions, the wheels would slide before the vehicle would come to a stop. The rear wheel would wobble excessively and would cause the vehicle to pull to the right, making the drive bumpy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times and has been test driven and received a diagnostic test, yet the dealer was never able to diagnose the failure. The dealer advised that the vehicle conformed to all specifications. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 6,500.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that when he turned the steering wheel to the left or the right it doesn't respond immediately.

The vehicle also accelerated and increased in speed while the brakes were depressed which made it impossible for the vehicle to stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The toyota manufacturer was called and stated that he should take the vehicle back to the dealer to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 5,000.
While driving on highway the vehicle suddenly lost steering with no ability for the driver to control direction of the car. Car departed from its lane and then crossed two lanes involuntarily but lanes were free of traffic so an accident was avoided.at the same time the car shook and vibrated.the driver immediately braked and the brakes did reduce the speed of the car. The ability to steer was recovered after approximately 1 minute. The car was towed to a service station.a review of the computer data (trouble codes) indicated a failure of the abs actuator and steering angle sensor.maurice at the toyota customer experience center aid the toyota company will not take any responsibility for the failure and he also said that, "no assistance would be given" as the car was out of warranty.we have a case number filed with toyota. Toyota says this hazardous and terrifying incident is not the result of a design flaw or a manufacturing defect. We have lost confidence in the safety of this toyota vehicle.

I live in s. Florida, and over the past year, i've noticed that my dashboard is melting faster and faster everyday. It also is very shiny in the worst areas and is very sticky. If i touch it, the black gummy/gooey surface comes off on my finger. Previously, i have not used any products to clean it other than a damp cloth (with water only). Of course, now i can't clean it. I don't know what to do, as i can't afford to replace it. I believe the manufacturer is responsible for replacing it as they sold a defective product. I've lived here for more than 25 years and have never experienced this with any other car i've owned, some of which were many years older that my current 4-year-old toyota camry. In addition, when driving at more than 60 mph on the highway, the steering wheel shakes when i apply the brakes even slightly, and the car vibrates. I've had it checked twice by a toyota dealership and they claim everything is fine and it's just the anti lock brake system functioning. However, this continues to happen. It feels unsafe to me, and i don't buy their explanation. After googling the problem, there seems to be others with this problem on the same car. It has been suggested that the rotor is too small for the increased camry size and thus becomes warped. This also should be examined and replaced free of cost by the manufacturer if this is the cause. In any case, toyota should be forced to look into these problems and solve them with no cost to the owners. Many of us no longer have warranties.
Dash turned sticky upon cleaning and when the car is turned into the sun there is a dangerous glare reflected on the wind shield. It gets difficult to see traffic in front so i would consider it a hazard i feel toyota is responsible and should fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the center, left side console below the gear shift would become extremely hot when driving the vehicle for more than 15 to 20 minutes.

I am requesting that dot nhtsa investigate the driver's contribution to unintended acceleration (ua) and toyota's accelerator/brake pedal designs that make it possible.i was driving a rented toyota camry in a parking lot.i applied the brake and instead of slowing down the vehicle began to gain speed.i pressed harder on the brake and it accelerated.the harder i tried to stop the car the faster it went.i took my foot off the brake for a moment and the vehicle stopped accelerating.i believe that my foot was on both the brake and the accelerator pedals.i measured the distance between the brake and the accelerator and found that it was only 1.5 inches.my vehicle a gm acadia is 2.5 inches.this made me think that the tops of the two pedals are too close together.i managed to find 6 different toyota models including the prius and they averaged 1.5 inches between the tops of the brake and the accelerator pedals.i measure competitive vehicles and found they averaged 2.2 inches.something is wrong with the toyota designs ' they are too close together.i have continued to investigate unintended acceleration and have collected a significant amount of data that supports the fact that the driver is a major cause of ua and that some vehicle designs make it possible.i have conducted driving tests and simulated the conditions that cause ua.they clearly identify that toyota pedal designs contribute to the driver being a cause of ua.good vehicle pedal designs make it very difficult to simultaneously and unintentionally depress both pedals.from the odi incident reports gm vehicles seem to be particularly insensitive while the ford 150 truck seems to have a large number of complaints.there must be something in the pedal designs or operation that makes this possible.i have read two older dot reports concerning ua and they indicate that the driver is a cause of ua.why is that not studied and acknowledged now?please formally investigate.
I have a sticky dashboard.besides putting a very shiny reflection on my windshield, it has become very weak to the point that even a tap with my fingernail removes pieces off.it is very concerning.when i questioned toyota years ago they were willing to change it at no labor cost but i would have to buy the piece.this is a safety issue and should be recalled.
The dashboard is shiny and sticky. Sometime there is glare during the day time. Extremely hard to clean or keep clean. Cannot set anything on it without it sticking to the dashboard, especially paper or material.
Dashboard & steering wheel are melting! it is both dangerous & distracting driving under these conditions. Please, please look into this.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Dash-board is like liquid wax.i had a piece of paper on dashboard went to pick up and my fingernail took a chunk out of the dashboard.i tried to vacuum the dust on it but nothingpicked up, because dust was stuck fast and vacuum was leaving permanent lines on the dash. Extremely sticky to the touch and looks terrible with all the dirt stuck fast.

I bought 2010 camry couple of months ago and hear a heavy wind noise from the passenger side. I am told by toyota rep that it is a design issue and there is nothing can be done. Both left and right sides and front of the car is identical. If it was a design issue then why noise on right side only. Not sure if something going to let loose. Can you please help addressing this problem with toyota. Already there are numerous problems such as accelerator pedal, brakes and so forth. Thank you for your kind attention.
On april 19, 2014 i purchased the above referenced vehicle, a 2010 toyota camry se from prince toyota dealership in tifton, georgia.this vehicle was four years old and had less than 10,000 miles at the time of my purchase.needless to say, it was in immaculate condition from its previous one owner.however, when i returned home to rome, georgia on april 20th, 2014 i noticed a type of ?stickiness? to the dash board area.i drove my vehicle to work and on that tuesday, april 22nd, my supervisor, chief probation officer [xxx]wanted to look at my new car.i showed him my vehicle and also pointed out the stickiness on the dash board. Both he and i assumed that someone spilled something on it. The stickiness was located on both the passenger and driver side of the dashboard. On april 27th, 2014 i drove my vehicle on a trip to south florida to see my sister graduate college.when i returned, on may 5th i took my car to have it washed and clean the inside.while wiping off the dashboard i noticed the stickiness again and my fingernail swiped across the dash and left a gash in the dashboard.i do not have long nails.i then began to feel around on the dashboard and noticed the entire dashboard was soft and could be easily destroyed.i then knew that this was not something someone had spilled on the dash and realized this is a defective dash board.i began to research it and found article after article online where other people were reporting the same problem. It has been named a ?melting dashboard?.this has occurred in other auto dealer's vehicles as well as toyota's.i have also found that other dealers have replaced the dash boards and have called them defective.
Problem with dashboard sticky/melting/residue.never used cleaning agents on it.i am the original owner, with less than 32,000 miles.creates a terrible glare on windshield, making driving dangerous.dealer is only one who has ever serviced my vehicle..they state they know nothing of this problem..their body shop also is oblivious to problem (they tried an industrial cleaner to try to wipe it off. (to no avail).now i find that i am not alone in this problem...the internet forum is "replete" with car owners of different makes/models of this same problem whether the vehicle in question has been garaged or not.please help...on a "fixed" income, cannot afford to replace this dashboard and my vehicle is in "pristine" condition with low mileage/excellentcare.this problem more than warrants a "recall" as so many (myriad) car owners are now coming forward with this complaint.only within the last year has this problem cropped up on my vehicle, which is 5 years old but only has under 32,000 miles.updated 12/10/14.
Dashboard is extremely sticky even in mild temperatures and obscures vision when driving into sun due to glare. Glare is causing extremely dangerous driving conditions. Glare is also causing eye strain due to intense focus needed to drive leading to severe headaches.
In summer of 2012 my dash started melting i attempted to clean it and was unable to no matter what products were recommended in handbook as time went on it only got worse it is so sticky that everything sticks to it and now it looks terrible im completely embarrassed to let anyone in my vehicle if i try and trade it or sell it the damage decreases the value of the vehicle and toyota refuses to take responsibility for their mistake i feel victim to toyota i have been a faithful customer for many years this is my last toyota purchase.

For about a little over a year now, the dashboard on my toyota camry has reacted very oddly to the heat it endures. The dashboard looks like it melts when its hot outside then becomes very sticky. It looks terrible. If you touch it, it feels like glue. The dashboard gets so slimy that if you actually puncture it with a fingernail, the material of the dashboard gets under your nail. I have only had my vehicle for four years and i am very disappointed with toyota.
When car is parked in the sun, the dashboard is melting and becomes very sticky to the touch.it has a wet look and reflects glare, making it unsafe to drive.the manufacturer refuses to replace the dashboard.
Dashboard sticky and melting.
Dash has a sticky/gooey feel to it. Tried several products to remove stickiness then realized dash is actually melting and this is glue coming up through the dash itself. This makes the dash very shiny and causes a terrible glare on the windshield causing it very difficult to see. Toyota needs to recall this as it is a safety hazard! someone is going to get hurt from not being to see out of the windshield.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 60 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side tire and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be balanced. As a result, the transmission and the front wheel bearing was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.
While going down the street and braking at around 15 mph i noticed a creaking noise. The noise continued while braking, and going over railroad tracks and uneven pavements. I took my vehicle to the toyota dealer in town to have the problem checked out. They found out that the body structure was messed up. The (a-pillar) was not connected to the main frame. They told me there was nothing they could do about the problem, that i would have to take it to a body shop to be welded, they also said and gave me paperwork saying it was a defect in the 2007-2011 toyota models.

Why/when the accident occured: no airbag deployed for head-on collison nor airbag indicator light lit up?updated 10/27/14
The dashboard of my 2010 camry is melting, is so sticky.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the dashboard started to melt and felt sticky without warning. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
Dash board is sticky and melting.called toyota because found warranty information and they said their warranty expired in may 2017. In may,my dashboard was fine.today's date is august 22, 2017. Does toyota know exactly how long the dashboard lasts and terminate their warranty a month prior. Car is not drivable due to shiny reflection of sun.
Dashboard melted in sun and created a strong glare which is effecting visibility and created a sticky mess which collects dirt and bugs.
On or about the above date of april 15, 2015 i washed my 2010 toyota camry at a local car wash using their automated high pressure wash and wax.a few days afterward i realized the center trunk area, that holds the spare tire, held 2 to 3 inches of water, and the right side of the trunk also had water. I have read post after post online stating many other toyota owners had the same problem, and some have stated therear window and body panels were not securely sealed from the outside elements when the vehicle was assembled at the factory.in june of 2014 water was getting inside on the carpet on the driver and passenger side soaking the carpet completely.the air conditioner condensation drainage tube had plugged up underneath the vehicle that causedthe interior by the driver and passenger side to be soaked in water.there is no evidence whatsoever that this vehicle was ever involved in an accident.the odometer just recently turned over 45,145 miles.now, there is already an indication of mold, and mold can be deadly.
Rear window of a 2010 toyota camry with approximately 7800 miles (rental) exploded while at a complete stop in traffic. No sign of foreign object striking window. Two areas of glass failure were noted, roughly following the radius of the glass on either side in a vertical pattern as it bends to meet the rear pillars. The window remained intact (albeit shattered) long enough to record it on my iphone, clearly showing two areas of failure with gaps of 1/4-1.5 inches between the center (flatter) portion of the glass and the left and right sides where it bends to meet the rear pillars. The widow fell into the car as soon as i resumed movement on the street. The sound was like that of a gunshot, loud enough to draw a crown of pedestrians in the area who witnessed it.
This car has required 6 sets of tires in less than 90,0000 miles. The driver's side window will roll down when pressing the button to roll it up. This has been going on since the first oil change. The air conditioner occasionally switches itself from recycled to fresh air while driving for unknown reasons. Sensor in passenger seat malfunctions causing random alarm about seatbelt when no one is seated there. The dashboard became sticky to the touch, and cloth would stick to it when attempting to wipe it clean. The dashboard then developed several deep cracks, running erraticallyly from front to back. In places around trim pieces, dashboard plastic has flaked away. Plastic on the top of the console's lid has chipped and flaked away, and cracks have developed around it. Paint on trim of console has bubbled up and ruined the finish in console drink holder lid. The cd player malfunctioned, with a disc read error reported, though no disc was inside the player, requiring replacement of system. The aux audio port failed after only a year of regular use. The floor mats had to be removed due to the acceleration recall and the service department at dealership wanted to provide recall service limited to securing these with a zip tie. Carpeting became stained and filthy, and could not be effectively cleaned, so carpeting had to be replaced by owner. Recall notices received from toyota by the owner have been expressly limited to weight capacity rating sticker, although this was toyota financed vehicle and owner's address remains unchanged. Otherwise, all recall notices received by registered owner, have been limited to those reported by nhtsa following owner's registration at website. Local dealership has routinely been uncooperative, dismissive, or contentious when warranty service requests were made. Dealership offers only reasons to deny warranty repairs or replacements.
The vehicle was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hitin the side frontfrom the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed.driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was because of the safety of the airbags...which were no help in this accident.
The camry has a very bad popping noise in the roof,sounds like the car is in a bind when you run over speed bumps or driving on a curvy road.i've contacted toyota and they have recalls on 2012 models for the same thing but won't talk about doing anything for mine,the dealers say its a 5 to 7 hour job and i really don't know how stable the roof is.my car is a 2010 with 52,000 miles just like new inside and out and toyota should correct the known problems that they caused from the factory? please help
Since the past 60 days there has been a popping, creaking and metal flexing noise emanating from the roof panel especially pronounced when crossing over any uneven pavement surface, the noise began at 40,000 miles, 4000 miles after the manufacturer warranty expired, my research shows that this is an inherent problem with several toyota models especially the camry and has been evident since model year 2007 with sun/moon roof installations, on contacting the dealership i was informed that they are aware of the problem and is almost always related to the sunroof frame/guide rails/insulation and have repaired it on it numerous occasions all being under warranty since the warranty has expired on my vehicle i was directed to contact toyota customer service, on contacting toyota customer service i was refused any assistance and acknowledgement of the problem, per my research the problem has escalated in some cases to the sunroof shattering causing a major driving and health hazard and possible severe injuries from collisions and/or cuts from shattering glass. Toyota customer service refuses to admit there is a flaw in the design and assembly of vehicles equipped with sun/moon roof and refuse to remedy the problem by claiming expiration of warranty.references:http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/310-7th-generation-2012/418639-2012-camry-xle-roof-noise.html http://brianmorristech.com/?p=939.
While checking oil hood suddenly closed hood supports failed. No warning it just slammed shut. The car was parked in my garage at the time 0800.it caught my left arm and hand requiring six stiches plus other cuts and bruises.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated the vehicle trunk was defective since it would unlocked independently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 22,000.
Dashboard is melting causing severe glare on the windshield which is obscuring my vision and creating a hazardous driving condition to vehicles and pedestrians.i noticed this during test drive of the car.its worse and the dealer will not replace the part since warranty extension expired 6/3/2019.a full safety recall needs to be implemented.
I was driving on highway ( houston tx) , suddenly i heard a sound like a explosion at my car ceiling. I panicked and almost lost control of my car , luckily there weren't any car near me ( front back, right or left). Found out my sunroof exploded. The reason i am confident that there wasn't any piece that flew offand hit my car is because i didn't had any car near me nor i was driving in any side lanes. I was in middle lane. I believe it is a safety issue if a sunroof exploded like that without being hit with anything.
My trunk release is broken from the floor and the dashboard is very sticky/shiny which causes glare freon the sun
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a scraping noise when she noticed that the splash guard had detached from her vehicle. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in. The contact notified the manufacturer who took a complaint. The current mileage was 18,000 and the failure mileage was 17,000.updated 4/11/2011 updated 04/29/11
Dashboard became sticky and has started to peel off.
The dashboard is shinny, melty and very reflective. It's becoming a hazard to drive the car as the dashboard is reflected on the window. Toyota's dashboards should not melt because of time.
Dashboard is becoming severely reflective to the point where i can't drive it safely. It's gotten stickier and more reflective over time. Dealer refuses to accept it's a defect and is charging me two grand just for the part (labor is more.) reflectiveness is much worse than what the attached picture shows.
I purchased a 2010 toyota camry 8/2010vehicle was in aprevious accident not revealed to me dealership gave me a clean car history report. Motor blew in car carried car to dealership for repairs. Service mgr showed me serious safety defect. Front frame support not welded to main frame. Notified toyota motors usa and southeast toyota of this problem. I am now notifying nhtsb of this serious issue. I have notified governor office of consumer affairs in california, florida, georgia. No one will address this issue. They are their to protect the consumer. No one has been willing to help.. They have violated the deceptive trade practice and deficieny in services. I have pictures from dealership.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an unrelated issue when the contact was advised that the struts and shocks were leaking oil excessively and would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.updated 01/05/13*ljupdated 02/06/13
I purchased this camry new and at 40k miles, three of my struts are leaking and need to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that while reversing, there was an abnormal squeak heard from the front end as the vehicle began to wobble. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side strut was leaking and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000 and the current mileage was 68,000.

All four struts severe leaking
At 70k mls vehicle was loosing precise steering and experienced some "bouncing" on uneven surfaces due to all 4 struts leaking especially the front ones. Dealer replaced all 4 (11/25/14) and 30k later (05/20/20015) two front ones showed the leak again and had to be replaced. In both cases the replacement parts were oem ones. I opened case with toyota (1605180624) and was told that such issue was normal and it was nothing they were going to do.
When i went to service my toyota camry, i was informed that my structs have to be replaced because they are leaking. From my understanding, structs are designed to work for more than 7-8 years. I could not believe that my car which is just 5 yrs old with less than 60k miles would require such an important vehicle component to be replaced. When i did some research online, i found that many people have reported the same issue for camry 2007 or later models. This does sound like a defective part installed by toyota. I will really appreciate if you could take some action to investigate about the structs being used by toyota for camry models.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated when attempting a turn in either direction, the steering wheel would wobble abnormally and the vehicle would pull abruptly to either side. In addition, when braking in wet road conditions, the wheels would slide before the vehicle would come to a stop. The rear wheel would wobble excessively and would cause the vehicle to pull to the right, making the drive bumpy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times and has been test driven and received a diagnostic test, yet the dealer was never able to diagnose the failure. The dealer advised that the vehicle conformed to all specifications. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 6,500.
Vehicle struts, all 4 are leaking.dealer would only replace 1 strut and stated leaking struts are normal.evidence of pending strut failure is the rapid deteriation of the tires on all 4 wheels.independent garage confirmed struts are leaking and should have been replaced. Appears to be a common camry problem.
My car has been making noises for a while...in the front when i would go over a bump it would sound like the front end was bouncing, the other noise is a thunk in the back when i would go over a bump or down a driveway.i just recently had my oil changed at a toyota dealer and asked them to look at the problem. They said my front strut should be replaced and that it would not be covered under warranty because it expired at 36,000 miles.today i just went to firestone to have my tires rotated (i had to purchase new tires a while back {around 20,000 miles} because of cupping from my original tires, which toyota also claimed no responsibility) and they stated that i need all four struts replaced because they are all leaking.i contacted toyota, not the dealer but actual toyota and i stated that they should be responsible for replacing the struts because the vehicle does not have that many miles on it and that the noise did begin before the warranty expired.at this point they are having me pay a dealer to look at the struts and quote a price if they "feel" they need to be replaced.but the advisor immediately told me that there is normal leaking on struts and that's probably what firestone is referring to.so i already feel that they are going to state that it is "normal" leakage.upon looking online i found that multiple people have placed complaints regarding this matter.i feel that toyota is going to go round and round with the issue since they do not want to pay to fix the issue.this is also one of many issues i have had with this car.
My car has only 42453 miles on it. I took it in to have the brakes inspected due to rough braking and found out that all of the struts are leaking badly. I understand that this is a known problem for the 2007 and newer models of the camry and i am also aware that toyota knows about the problem. I have had my car in for oil changes and inspection at several toyota dealerships and not once have they mentioned the leaking struts. When taken to an independent brake shop they stated that it is evident that the leaking has gone on for quite some time. Please do a recall before severe damage is done and make toyota pay for their shoddy struts and rotors! i should have to pay over $1500 for a mistake that they made! everyone i have spoken to and investigated online with say that this is happening all over and toyota is getting away with it. Please recall!!!!
The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic sometime in 2012 for an unrelated issue when the contact was advised that the struts/shocks were leaking oil and should be replaced by toyota before warranty expired. I was told by independence mechanic that the struts oil leaking problem is very common to the newer camry (2010 model) and it could be a safety issue. I toke the vehicle to a toyota dealer to show them the problem. After the dealer inspected the struts, they told me that it is "normal oil evaporation" so the struts will not be covered by warranty. When oil is leaked out of a "o ring"from strut casing/housing, it is a leak, and it is not "normal evaporation". Is toyota playing game word game ("normal evaporation") to avoid warranty cover to it customers (because too many 2010 cars having oil leaking problem)? would it be a safety issue later on?
Bought 2010 toyota camry new.with less than 5000 miles on odometer took back to local dealer complaining about vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds.car now has 20,000 miles, and after third visit to local dealer service department all they say is bad tires and toyota does not warrant tires.filed complaint with toyota and company says same thing.
All four wheel struts have failed on my 2010 toyota camry at 33,000 miles.the car was never involved in anaccident. There was no hard driving or abuse abuse of vehicle.
At 46,000 miles i had problems with road noise, so i took my car into the toyota dealership ( richardson toyota in richardson, texas) and had them look at what was causing the noise. They told me that it was a tire problem, they rotated them told me everything was okay. Then about a couple of months later i took it in to have the tires rotated again, i went to tire shop in mckinney, texas rather than going to the dealer. They asked me to come out and look at the struts and the tires. The tires were cupping because the struts were leaking so badly they weren't keeping the front end level. I then called the dealer and took the car in for the problem, which upon arrival was told the struts were fine, and that toyota said the leakage was acceptable from between 10-15%. They recommended new tires and if i wanted to replace the struts they would do it for about $1,000 to $1,200 w/out tires. My car was a certified toyota which they wouldn't cover any strut replacement. I told them why would i buy the same toyota parts and have the same problem in another 35-40k miles.it was very disappointing for someone who sold toyota's for 3 years.
My vehicle is only 5 years old and only has 40,000 miles. I am told that my struts needs to be replaced as they are leaking. I have read other people having the same issue and it sound like defective parts that were installed and may lead to accidents.
When having my annual inspection i was told that my struts were leaking and would need to be replaced.of course my vehicle is out of the 3 year warranty given by toyota.the vehicle only has 24,500 miles on it and according to my mechanic there is no way the struts should be leaking.i called toyota and was told there was no recall.i was given a case number in case there is one in the future.it is all over the internet, toyota's with low mileage having leaking struts.i guess toyota doesn't care ab out obvious parts defects until multiple people lose their lives due to the defects.
2010 camry - bought new. Taken to the dealership for all scheduled oil changes & service. Replaced new michelin tires (rated 60,000 miles) at 32,000 miles that wore out unevenly. We noted that our vans which have more roll than a car and are more heavily loaded, usually go at least 55,000 and that they wear more evenly. Since the dealership was checking everything, it did not occur to us that there was a problem with the struts since the car was so new and the service department never alerted us.suddenly, at 50,000 mile check up, we were informed all 4 struts are at #2 and must be replaced. This is a lightly driven car. ( 2 drivers and 3 vehicles.) these are mainly highway miles in southern california and we never had this problem with any other vehicles. We never load it and rarely have more than 1 person in the car. We have never even needed a brake job and have 70% left on our brake pads. After looking on line i noticed that this is a problem with many camrys after 2007. I contacted toyota about this and after much discussion, they offered $750 discount if we have it serviced at a toyota dealership. .dealership estimates range around $1800 +. I contend that since toyota does not recommend anything be done with leaking struts until they are totally shot, they did not tell us that anything was wrong while it was still under warranty. Tires prematurely wearing and why would all 4 struts suddenly fail if these were not defective? why would toyota say struts that leak at all are normal? since this is a known issue, toyota needs to stand behind their products. This is not standard maintenance - it is a defect. Since toyota is arbitrarily deciding, we would appreciate a consumer advocate to assist us. We are fine with normal maintenance costs and if it were older or with more mileage, we would not be so upset about this major part failure.
My 2010 toyota camry, i didn't do anything wrong, but when i do maintenance at driver's they told me the front struts have been leaking for awhile. My car only 40000miles. I did do maintenance. I think it's defective struts. I ask toyota dealer to check for me tomorrow.
At speeds exceeding 60 - 65 mph the car sways.
All four tires showed signs of cupping, front ones the worst. Signs of leaking at the tops of all four strut towers. Two tires replaced by toyota dealer. Forward to 9/20/13, 22379 miles, dealer did 4 wheel alignment, struts still leaking.
Front wheel driver side was making noise every time i drive over the bumps or uneven road,went to toyota dealer they told me that's normal just keep driving ,didn't pay attention to me and now i have 47000 miles on my car and that strut is leaking pretty bad,to fix it they want to charge me 800 $.i feel cheated now.
Tire dealer informed me that left front and right rear struts were leaking and that all four should be replaced. Took car to toyota dealer (car under extended warranty), where dealer said he would replace only left front strut, and that some leaking was acceptable (manufacturer's policy). Strut was replaced. However, wheels were not aligned, as is important whenever struts are replaced. Also, it's not good practice to replace only one strut--no one replaces only one tire (or on older cars, one shock absorber) for the same reason--it can create a dangerous imbalance. Toyota's leaking strut policy needs to be investigated.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance when he was advised that the front and rear struts would have to be replaced because they were leaking oil. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
I took my car in for a routine oil change/tire rotation, and was told 3 out of 4 struts were leaking and needed to be replaced. With only 56,000 miles this should not be something that needs to be replaced. This is a safety concern and needs to be addressed by toyota. I expect top quality from toyota and am very displeased by this. I should not have to invest thousands of dollars in non-routine service on a vehicle that is only 3 years old. If this is not addressed i will never purchase a toyota vehicle again, and i will voice my concerns to everyone i know.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. A technician informed the contact that the front struts on the vehicle were leaking. The dealer stated that the struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,221.
When i took my car for service at 50,000 miles, my front struts were leaking, so the dealership replaced them. Then i had my 2009 camry inspected and it was determined that at 60,000 miles the struts were also leaking. About a month after i got the front struts replaced on the 2010 camry, the front right strut began to leak severe to the point that only having 800 miles and a month of use on the new strut, it needed to be replaced. I think there is a problem with newer toyota camry struts and they need to be investigated before there is a catastrophic failure in on of the cars.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 60 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front passenger side tire and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be balanced. As a result, the transmission and the front wheel bearing was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.
I purchased a camry in january 2010, and 2 years later i need new tires.now they tell me that this could be normal, but i have previously purchased 2 other new cars and have never had to buy tires.the outside tread of my tire is completely bald.i regularly rotate my tires and get the needed maintenance.i have had problems with my car pulling to one side when driving but was told nothing was wrong with it by a toyota dealership service department.i have filed a complaint with toyota and they seem not to care about my situation.i believe there is a defect because a worker at the dealership stated that this happens to many of the camry's that he has seen.
I brought my 2010 camry into toyota for them to check out my struts. I was informed they were leaking when i had my brakes done.toyotas mechanic and service rep both agreed all 4 struts needed to be replaced due to leakage and they both also agreed they had never seen all 4 struts go at the same time and at a low mileage (39k).i checked with several other mechanics, as well as other car dealerships (not toyota), and all agreed....4 struts needing replacing at 39k was not normal wear and tear!of course, my warranty ran out approx. 6months and 3k miles ago.i am sure the struts were leaking then, but i wasn't made aware until after the warranty expired.toyota offered to help with the cost ,but the total bill is so high it is just a drop in the bucket.i feel this is their problem and they should do the right thing and replace all 4 struts at no charge to me.i am a repeat toyota owner and bought the camry because it is known as being reliable and dependable.now toyota won't back up their product.i have read many articles online about problems with toyotas struts.you would think they would want to correct a problem which brings them negative publicity, but i guess they are more concerned with the almighty dollar...even after all the problems and recalls they have had in the last 3 years. Their reputation has gone downhill fast.its a shame...thinking about going with a honda.
At 67,000 miles, rear bearing unit went out.now at 87,000 miles and sounds like it is going bad again.
On dec 18th i was making a left hand turn and as i proceeded to turn left on to another rd there was a car that had got up to the high speeds of 75or 80 and i had my left turn. Signal on and as i was turning and he ran in to my driver side door and injured my left shoulder and my neck but my air bags did not deploy and i'm now having to have surgery i hope they can get to the bottom of the car wreck and again thanks
I was driving the car down a lane where the car shifted to the right where i damages my bumper suspension and axel i thought it was my fault paid the damages out of pocket and while repaired the mechanics had no clue to the reason why this happen the did say it could have been a manufacture defect.
2 sensors indicating instability....
I bought a brand new 2010 camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which i have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly.moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving.also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, i cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but i am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first toyota i've owned, and it will be the last.
Vehicle purchased new from dealer on 3/8/10. On 5/21/11, at routine service at dealership where car was purchased new, tires showed abnormal wear at 14,836, 14 months after purchase of vehicle. On 7/7/12, at routine service, tires showed substantial wear at 26,533. On 9/8/12, purchased new goodyear tires at dealership at 29,437 miles. On 11/19/12, at routine service at dealership, tires showed slight wear on outside at 32,017. On 12/16/13, at routine service at dealership, tires showed abnormal wear and cupping on inside at 42,632 miles, recommended alignment.alignment completed on 12/26/13 at 42,990 miles by another tire shop. On 5/22/14, at routine service at dealership, tires showed abnormal wear at 48,081. On 11/24/14, at routine service at dealership, recommended alignment and tires at 52,848 miles.
On or about the above date of april 15, 2015 i washed my 2010 toyota camry at a local car wash using their automated high pressure wash and wax.a few days afterward i realized the center trunk area, that holds the spare tire, held 2 to 3 inches of water, and the right side of the trunk also had water. I have read post after post online stating many other toyota owners had the same problem, and some have stated therear window and body panels were not securely sealed from the outside elements when the vehicle was assembled at the factory.in june of 2014 water was getting inside on the carpet on the driver and passenger side soaking the carpet completely.the air conditioner condensation drainage tube had plugged up underneath the vehicle that causedthe interior by the driver and passenger side to be soaked in water.there is no evidence whatsoever that this vehicle was ever involved in an accident.the odometer just recently turned over 45,145 miles.now, there is already an indication of mold, and mold can be deadly.
I purchased a new 2010 toyota camry in oct-2009 and i realized after 2-3 weeks that there is something wrong in there. The rpm goes high (and tries to stay there) when down-shifting even without the leg is off the gas paddle. While i understand that downshifting may increase rpm but then i feel like it wants to stay there by means of some un-intended acceleration. When i realized that there is something wrong, i just ignored the issue because i did not want to take the car to the dealer and let them mess it up further. I thought this is happening because it is a new car. After few miles driven, the issue will go away.but when i learned about the un-intended acceleration in january 2010, i realized that the issue is more serious and i should not ignore any more.i went to dealer but as i expected, they did not take it seriously and told me that the car runs as per design. I went for the recall too but it did not make any difference.being an engineer, i myself have established few simple test cases where one can prove that there is definately something wrong in the car. And if the car runs as per design, then there is something wrong in the design itself. I knew in advance that taking the car to the dealership was not going to work. I purchased a new vehicle so that i can keep on driving it nicely for years to come but i neve expect it to be going togarage for such a serious issue in less than 3 months!i have not received any satisfactory answer/solution to my problem so far.

Melting toyota camry 2010 dashboardovertime when exposed to the sun and heat, toyota camry dashboard melts and gets sticky.
My toyota camry has a melting dashboard that toyota have replaced for 3.4 million cars but they said we were 14 days out of their extended warranty period. We never had an y notice form them. We called head office who said they did not have our owner details so could not send us any notices. We gave them our details but they said we were still not able to get this fixed even though we were never informed.
2010 toyota camry. Consumer expresses discontent regarding toyota recalls *tgw
2010 toyota camry owner scared to drive vehicle due to the recall about the accelerator pedal and would like a refund.
Sun visor has dropped and can feel separation on spine of visor.
The dash is covered with a sticky substance.it was just an annoyance but now in the sunshine, it glares back on the windshield and is very hard to see.there has been more than once i have had to slow down or stop because i couldn't see.
Sun visors have defective part and fail to go all the way against windshield andeventually the part breaks and visor is unable to be properly put up (against the roof of car) and out of the way when not in use. Visor hangs in field of vision while driving and is particularly dangerous at night or when it is raining, obstructing view ahead and cannot see traffic signals. Toyota evidently issued a service bulletin/ warranty extension wherein they would repair for seven years from original date of purchase for 2007-2011 vehicles. This has been extremely unsafe. Had there been a recall issued, i would have known about this issue when i purchased my vehicle in 2015, yet service bulletins are not required to be published and well-known. This has created an obstruction to my field of vision when driving and has created some hazardous conditions. Would a recall have been issued, i would still be within the time period before the recall expired. This happened after i drove to work one day, parked and when i came out at lunch, unhooked the visor and tried to use it. I was probably stationary but could have been moving at a low rate of speed.
Sun visors will not stay in the up position; it affects my visual range.dash board sticky; leave in area where temperature reaches over 115* f.
Although we did not notice it at first, as the summer wore on the dash became more of a problem.i was headed from north carolina to ohio for my grandmother's funeral when i noticed the problem was more than just a sticky dashboard.when driving at night the glare from the dashboard reflects on the window creating a significant hazard when driving.not exactly an ideal time to find out the car you had recently purchased was barely drive-able at night!
The sun visors breaks and will not stay up creating a floppy sun visor in the down position which is a safety issue especially when it is the driver's sun visor. I have read this is a problem with thousands of camries and it is not a recall and toyota will not fix unless your organization makes it mandatory
In state of ohio they ise this site to determine if your car is gasoline power, electric l, or hybrid. And supposedly they say your company has my car listed as hybrid for a 2010. And my car is actually gasoline v6 xle. What kind of proof do i need to show besides pictures of my engine or a letter from a well know dealership?

Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? this is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.
The dash is lifting in the same such manor from other recalls from other vehicles that had the recall and i believe this should be under that recall as from the heat it make the dash start to lift in spots
Cold start noise
Dash board is sticky and melting.called toyota because found warranty information and they said their warranty expired in may 2017. In may,my dashboard was fine.today's date is august 22, 2017. Does toyota know exactly how long the dashboard lasts and terminate their warranty a month prior. Car is not drivable due to shiny reflection of sun.
The rear windshield is tinted. It has deteriorated so much that i can not see through it while in drivers seat. It is extremely blurry and translucent. At night time it is all streaked light reflections. This condition is a severe safety hazard. The tint film has bubbled.noticed it happen last year but now it has become worst.
When i operate my heat or air conditioning in my 2010 toyota camry i get a strong smell of sulfur in the cabin of my car. I owned my car for4 years now and the problem started about 3 years ago. No one can tell me the exact cause of the problem.
Mold negligence - issue originated around 10,000 miles as dealership records indicate.dealership replaced air filter as the repair.however, supposedly, the tsbs suggested that a moldy mildew smell may develop from the hvac components.the carpet was not pulled back and inspected until a formal complaint was made with toyota national. Mold was present and photographed.additionally, other areas of the car were subject to other forms of water leaks and separate mold formed there also.consumer suggestion of a moisture sensor in the low points of the body to notify the owner of an issue via a warning light.car is unsafe to drive as odors are noxious and irritating and affect breathing respirationsand overall health issues resulting in persistent cough.toyota national recently inspected and confirmed but rejected buyback or compensation.filing with nhtsa to document mold issues with 2010 model for legal references if toyota does not offer replacement and buyback.
The dashboard is sticky and it is melting. Especially, on a hot day. As a result, when driving, it affecting visibility due to reflection to the windshield from the melting dashboard.

Shiny, melting and sticky dashboard. Causes sunlight to reflect right into the eyes
Dash has developed a sticky residue from the suns heat. Cleaning the dash is not an option. It seems to only make it worse.
I have a 2010 toyota camry, and this is the 3rd time i'm having to replace the visors in the car.the last replacement only 3 years ago (july 2014).the springs keep breaking, and the visors will not stay up nor will they stay all the way down.therefore, it is obstructing my visibility while driving.i have never driven with my visors down.the only reason i ever put them down is when i put a thin little shade in the windshield while at work. Of all the vehicles i have ever owned, i have never had to replace visors, much less 3 times.
Consumer is concerned for safety of leased 2010 toyota camry due to acceleration defect.
Dash is sticky, melting, breaking down, and deteriorating since june 2017. No recall notice from toyota. I had no idea that they had a lawsuit because of this issue until i researched to see if others had same problem. I just thought it was from the heat until i wasn't able to clean it or remove the stickiness and it was getting worse by the day. Fearful to drive my car,as the dash has been compromised. Anything that touches it leaves an imprint or indention. Anything that touches it sticks to it. When your diving there is glare from the residue that has been broken down and since everything sticks to it and you can't clean it off that makes it hard to drive because of the glare. Toyota has replace several dashes, but hat about the ones that have broken down after there time frame has elapsed? mine din't have any issues until after their time frame expired, so i'm i just out of luck and i'm supposed to repair their inferior product? i'm worried that if i were in an accident that the dash would just crumble and not protect my family or myself. I need help, i'm fearful to drive my car, but i have to since it's my only one. Shouldn't toyota have sent out a recall notice to everyone that was affected?
The dashboard is breaking down and has become very sticky. This causes glare when driving at night that is a safety issue. I called toyota about it on 9/14/209, but they said their 'warrant enhancement' expired on 8/13/2019. Toyota said that they sent a letter in 2016, which i never received. I had my car serviced at a toyota deal (jack taylor toyota, alexandria va), and they never notified me of the 'warranty enhancement.' they said that they only had to notify for recall safety issues. They said that they could replace it for @2,171.46 this is a safety issue and this should be a recall, not just a 'warranty enhancement.' toyota's methods to notify are inadequate and this problem is ongoing - me and many others will have this safety problem beyond toyota's warrant period. Especially since they do such a poor job of customer notification. This causes a lot of road glare at night and will cause accidents and deaths. Toyota is obviously not doing the right thing on their own. I hope the ntsb can please advance a recall for this issue.
2010 toyota camry xle has a melting dashboard during sun exposure.the dashboard is sticky and has a very shiny surface, making driving difficult due to reflections.this is a safety hazard!
The dashboard on my 2010 camry has degraded over time, becoming sticky and shiny.it is now affecting visibility due to the reflection in the windshield, causing unsafe driving conditions in sunny weather.the dealership says that my model is not included in an earlier recall regarding this issue.
My phone doesn't reconnect to the head unit after turning the bluetooth off and then on again (from stand still and driving situation). The only way to reconnect the phone is by turning the car off and back on again.
The car's dashboard has melted from sun exposure, leaving a shiny, glossy, sticky coating on it that, when hit by the sun at certain angles, causes a blinding glare into the driver's eyes and a bright reflection of the dash onto the windshield, resulting in limited visibility and blind spots. Toyota is aware of the problem that was caused by materials of insufficient quality and issued a warranty enhancement to fix the problem. Unfortunately, as a secondary owner of the vehicle, i was never informed of this and did not know the problem was widespread and material-related until i recently found that information online. The warranty extension period has now expired, but in cases like mine, the issue has not been fixed, leaving the vehicle with a condition that unnecessarily causes a safety deficiency.
My trunk release is broken from the floor and the dashboard is very sticky/shiny which causes glare freon the sun
Entire dashboard has become sticky and reflective effecting my vision, become a safety hazard. Unable to clean.
Dashboard is melting and my vehicle vin was not under the recall. My sister bought the carin 2009 and had this issue but no recall for it from toyota.
I feel like your dealership lied3 sales men has been fired on the count of this situation i dontlike the deal or warranty thathat was offered due to the color of my skin
The driver side sun visor (compartment) was broken and fell down under normal use. Since the visor edge is pointing to my forehead directly now as i am not able to put it back to its original position, this is going to be life-threatening in case of a car crash or anything like this.checked on the internet, and found a lot of complaints on the same issue too. Unfortunately, this is not under any of toyota's extended warranty or recall programs. I strongly believe this is manufacturing defect and should be recalled by toyota.i would request that proper actions be taken before the issue manifests itself in a hazardous situation.
My camry has the sticky dash problem and on sunny days the glare makes it unsafe and hard to drive. I called toyota and the recall ended 11 months ago but i never knew about it.
Dash is sticky and crumbling and getting worse
Dashboard is becoming severely reflective to the point where i can't drive it safely. It's gotten stickier and more reflective over time. Dealer refuses to accept it's a defect and is charging me two grand just for the part (labor is more.) reflectiveness is much worse than what the attached picture shows.

Customer by css web(08/20/2019 12:23 pm)my 2010 camry dashboard has melted to an uncleanable tarlike sticky substance. I need help because it reflects on my windshield and i cannot see through it. I have to bend sideways to see around it to drive. Please email me how i can clean my dashboard.

I also took my car to be washed and detailed.i was informed that they could not get the sticky solution off and that i needed to take it to a toyota dealer., when i took it to the toyota dealer, i was informed that i had just missed the extended repair date and to contact toyota, so on august 20, 2019. I contacted toyota.com and was informed that i had missed the extended repair end date and that i can pay my toyota dealer to replace my dashboard myself..i never received a notice from toyota about the extended date or any recall notice about this issue.they said they sent them out and if i did not receive it, they could not do anything about it now.

At first my sun visor fell off one evening when i was trying to block the sun from disrupting my view. Then as time went by, my dashboard started melting and becoming sticky. Like a goo. There is dirt and other debris stuck to it. Very gross and it is impossible to clean, with so much dirt on it i feel it is a health hazard to my kids and myself. I talked to toyota a few days ago and they flat out told me that they cannot and will not fix it since the warranty was out. This was not something that i did, but the fault of the manufacturer. The goo causes a reflection on my windshield and it makes it difficult to see. This is a driving hazard, especially since i do not have a sun visor on my driver side since it has fallen off. I am asking for toyota to do the right thing.
The safety my family's health is in peril in my opinion because the car is emanating a very strong mold like odorcausing us headaches and sore throats even on trips under 5 minutes.on reviewing numerous internet articles about this, it appears that toyota may not be seriously addressing the problem.i do not know at this time what mechanical defect is in play.
Dashboard appears to be melting. It is very sticky to the touch and will come off and adhere to anything that comes in contact with the dash. When driving into the sun, it puts off a glare that makes it very difficult to see the road, even when wearing sunglasses.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)on 8/10/9 we purchased a new 2010 toyota camry le, vin [xxx]. This vehicle has been recalled at least two times for two defects. No one seems to know what the problem is: gas pedal, floor mat, electronics etc. Since august we have only driven this vehicle 4,200 miles because are afraid of sudden excel ration and other phenomena that might occur. Moreover, we have lost a substantial sum on this vehicle due to the problems. We have lost confidence in toyota and its dealership. They lie, mislead, and give out wrong information. There is a real safety problem with toyota and all they do is deny.

On january 18, 2010 my wife and i bought a toyota camry, se model from arlington toyota, jacksonville, fl.a few months after we bought this vehicle, toyota company recalled this vehicle model due to the possibility that the accelerator gets jammed on the floor mat, which may cause the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally.we took our toyota camry to arlington toyota on july 8, 2010 to resolve the recall problem.we have been driving this vehicle and had been running fine until an accident happened.on june 27, 2012, about 7:00 p.m., my wife and i went to tire plus car care, just west of hodges blvd on atlantic blvd and about a mile from where we live. My wife and i were approaching a parking space in front of the tire plus car care.as she was slowly parking, an unintended acceleration occurred at the speed of about 40 ? 50 miles an hour hitting the curb, the tree and irrigation pipe on the mound of landscape in front of tire plus car care.at home, after we left our vehicle to tire plus to assess the damages on my car, i discussed the accident scenario with my wife.i asked her if she could have possibly hit the accelerator while parking and she firmly said no.her reaction to the sudden acceleration, being so close to the parking curb, was to stop the car and therefore she would have just hit the brake firmly as her right foot was already on the brake while attempting to park.the toyota vehicle recall that might have been turned-in to resolve the accelerator getting stuck on the floor-mat may still have problem of unintended acceleration.my wife and i would like to share and escalate our experience so we could hopefully warn other owners and help prevent possible serious accident that may occur to consumers by a recalled vehicle that unintentionally accelerate.
On sunday, may 18, 2014, i started my 2010 toyota camry and my check engine and vehicle stability control lights were on. I had no previous issues with the car. I called the local dealership on monday morning to make an appointment, the first one i could get was just over a week away. I questioned the dealership if my car was safe to drive and they said yes, as long as the vsc light wasn't blinking. My car was checked by the dealership on may 27. I was told my brake actuator had gone out and the repairs were around $2,400 before taxes. The check engine light was from a charcoal canister that needed to be replaced, another $500+. The parts had to be ordered and it was may 30 when my car was ready. When questioning the dealership about why my brake actuator had gone out, they assured me that it was nothing i had done and they said they've had problems with others going out. After searching online i found that other models by toyota have had recalls for the brake actuator. If the company is having problems with the same piece of equipment in other models, the recall should be expanded. Mine was not included in the recall, but it was faulty and failed. After searching, i also found there have been various issues with the charcoal canister as well in various models by the company. Perhaps research should be done on this issue also. My car is 4 years old and when i took it to the shop it had 54,259 miles.i called toyota and they reiterated that my vehicle was not included in any recalls; therefore, at this point toyota could do nothing about the repair.
Toyota camry xle 2010 with 11500 miles is accelerating on its own and it is taking noticeable longer to slow down. Check engine light is on and (esc) light is on. However this is not the first time this has happened. The car was taken to the dealer. The first time they said there was debris in the engine however it took them over 30 days to fix it and they did not seem confident they fixed the problem.it is not a consistent problem as it happens unexpectedly. This is not caused by a driver mistake as it can be clearly seen when foot is off the brake and car is in drive that the rpm is higher. Sometimes the opposite happens and the car acts as if it is going to stall and shakes very hard. The approx incident date is the last time it was noticed and the car is no longer being driven. * i wonder if there is a possibility that my cell phone that causes interference with my tv and radio causes an interference with the etc system?

I am requesting that dot nhtsa investigate the driver's contribution to unintended acceleration (ua) and toyota's accelerator/brake pedal designs that make it possible.i was driving a rented toyota camry in a parking lot.i applied the brake and instead of slowing down the vehicle began to gain speed.i pressed harder on the brake and it accelerated.the harder i tried to stop the car the faster it went.i took my foot off the brake for a moment and the vehicle stopped accelerating.i believe that my foot was on both the brake and the accelerator pedals.i measured the distance between the brake and the accelerator and found that it was only 1.5 inches.my vehicle a gm acadia is 2.5 inches.this made me think that the tops of the two pedals are too close together.i managed to find 6 different toyota models including the prius and they averaged 1.5 inches between the tops of the brake and the accelerator pedals.i measure competitive vehicles and found they averaged 2.2 inches.something is wrong with the toyota designs ' they are too close together.i have continued to investigate unintended acceleration and have collected a significant amount of data that supports the fact that the driver is a major cause of ua and that some vehicle designs make it possible.i have conducted driving tests and simulated the conditions that cause ua.they clearly identify that toyota pedal designs contribute to the driver being a cause of ua.good vehicle pedal designs make it very difficult to simultaneously and unintentionally depress both pedals.from the odi incident reports gm vehicles seem to be particularly insensitive while the ford 150 truck seems to have a large number of complaints.there must be something in the pedal designs or operation that makes this possible.i have read two older dot reports concerning ua and they indicate that the driver is a cause of ua.why is that not studied and acknowledged now?please formally investigate.
I experienced a runaway acceleration while driving my 2010 camry le v6 (made in japan).while leaving the parking lot of my work place i was trying to pull away from a stop sign and the engine revved out of control.as i tried to pull away from the stop sign the tires slipped because it had just snowed.i gave it a bit more gas to get over the snow when the car started to pull away from the stop sign the engine revved out of control.i pressed and held down on the brake, the car continued to pull forward, i put the car in neutral and the engine was at redline for about 10 more seconds then returned to normal.at no time did i floor the accelerator,it was not stuck.i stepped down on the gas just a bit to clear the snow patch and the engine just revved out of control.i am lucky this didn't happen in traffic, and i knew enough to hold down firm on the brake, or there could have been an accident.
In august 2009 i purchased a 4-cylinder automatic 2010 toyota camry le. Immediately after taking delivery i noticed that the car hesitated when i pressed the accelerator. When i press the accelerator it feels like the engine is not getting sufficient amount of gas and it will stall. It takes a noticeable amount of time for the engine to respond to the demand from the accelerator pedal. Upon contacting the dealer i was told that acceleration will smooth out after a couple of weeks. However, seven months later the hesitation is still there.from postings on the internet it appears that this has been an on going issue with camry which toyota has known for many years but instead of fixing the problem the company has tried to address it through tsbs including, but not limited to, eg056-06 and eg036-07. Based on my experience with 2010 camry and experience of many other 2010 camry owners posted on the web it is obvious that this problem continues to exist.in addition to being a design flaw it is also a safety hazard because the car does not react normally when the driver presses the accelerator. This is particularly dangerous when merging into traffic or getting on a highway. Car's hesitation before picking up speed can lead driver to misjudge the time needed to merge into traffic which can result in serious accident. Regretfully this is just one other safety issue that toyota has opted to ignore.it maybe worthwhile to note that this acceleration hesitation problem is tied to the same electronic module that controls the speed of the car and according to many experts maybe the actual cause of camry's sudden acceleration.

I have a toyota 2010 camry, bought july 2009,this car is not slow down properly, it always run for 2 to 5 seconds then i can feel it start to slow down,then take 5 more seconds drop about 2-3 mile, it compared with my other two cars, it is really show something wrong in this car. Then i heard toyota announce the recall all 2010 - 2007 camry for gas pedal problem, so i back to toyota sunnyvale,ca dealer to do the recalled fixes. However, my camry still has same problem like before.so i back to my dealer to compliant about it, there is service engineer did a test drive and wrote a report said it works as design. I told them my other two cars didn't happen like this way, all the car should be decelerated when foot is removed from the accelerator right way, toyota engineer just don't feel 2010 camry has anything wrong. But i don't feel this car is safe to drive like other cars. I think it could have potential trouble for driver safety. Please notify toyota to fix this problem soon.

Ientered a parking spot and was moving slowly toward parking lot's wall at the minimal speed just above zero (0) mph, suddenly car increased a speed in a second on its own and crashed into a parking lot wall - short distance & sudden and unexpected acceleration didn't allow time to press the brakes. Car's whole front is damaged: hood, lights, windshield glass (broken by my head), radiator and bumper. Also, after the crush smoke/steam was coming out of the car and the driver's door jamed. I sustained a head injury as a result that airbags didn't deploy and my body was projected into a windshield.
2010 toyota camry. Consumer writes in regards to unintended acceleration. *ld the consumer stated the unintended acceleration caused a crash involving three cars.
I leased 2010 toyota camry on 7/27/09 from hudson toyota, jersey city, nj. In december 2009 my vehicle accelerated by itself and by applying the brakes the vehicle went back to normal. In january 2010, toyota reported a recall announcing that my vehicle is falling under their recall campaign. I have not received any notice letter from toyota regarding the recall fix.on 2/16/10, when i took my vehicle to my local dealer for 5000 miles service, i was told then that my vehicle is under the recall campaign and it will take longer to perform the fixes.now with all the news has been coming out regarding the lack of toyota's safety and credibility, and whole other facts: toyota manufacturer leased to me 2010 camry with full knowledge about the vehicle defect (sudden acceleration) since 2007.on 3/18/10, i seek resolution for my case by trying to exit my fraud lease agreement. I had my arbitration hearing through national center of dispute settlement at hudson toyota, jersey city. I'm trying to have toyota buy back the vehicle (2010 camry) and refund me the payments i did since 7/27/09. The gentleman-represented toyota claimed he is the region district manager, have no business card and refused to answer safety questions about their product. He was spending most of the hearing time on his blackberry, the arbitrator from national center for dispute settlement never commented on toyota's representative behaviors. I'm still waiting for a decision, which most likely to be in toyota's favor as the ncds lacked the transparency in conducting that hearing.are there any further actions i should take to exit my lease and get a complete refund, as i don't feel safe driving their vehicle. *dt

This complaint relates to our claim of unresolved well documented safety issues, (ie, uncontrolled acceleration), associated with our 2010 toyota camry purchased at cain toyota in north canton ohio on 7/30/09. Believing that toyota has inaccurately assigned the cause of the uncontrolled acceleration & resultant deaths & injuries, (namely faulty floor mats and/or a sticking gas pedal shaft) we have not driven our 2010 camry for months as indicated by the current 1073 miles recorded on the odometer. We believe that either unintentionally or by management directive toyota is misidentifying the cause of the numerous toyota accidents and deaths. This avoidance tactic is very similar to that adopted by ford/firestone in the numerous year 2000 explorer rollover accidents which also resulted in death and injuries. After first denying any wrong-doing,ford,(not firestone), admitted to the safety hazard such that we were compensated by ford for both our 1993 & 2000 explorers. Without doubt the extensive involvement of the nhtsa in the explorer accidents and related safety issues was instrumental in motivating ford management into doing what is right for explorer owners. (i know, because we possessed two explorers that benefited from ford's corporate responsibility. At this time with toyota we believe that the safety hazard(s) are far more serious and the toyota "denial stage" is far more entrenched in the minds of toyota management possibly due to their long record of excellent safety. However, just oneaccount of the 4 deaths on 8/28/09 in california when an off-duty highway patrol officer, experienced with many types of vehicles, drove for some 5 miles at speeds of 120mph was subject to uncontrolled acceleration in his lexus "loaner". Toyota's logic in blaming the floor mats reflects technical incompetence at best and out-of-control stupidity at the worst. We all recognize that toyota's safety record has been excellent in the past but even the deity has made mistakes!!!!

My wife owns a 2010 toyota camry, which has been to a local dealership for the gas pedal recall fix. On tuesday, march 2nd, i was driving her camry. I placed the shift lever in drive, took my foot off the brake, and the car suddenly accelerated at what seemed to be full throttle. My foot was not even on the gas pedal. I immediately hit the brake, and the acceleration ended, so the brake override did work. I returned the camry to the dealership, and i was told that this was normal for a cold engine. The engine was not cold when this happened. I had just driven it about 20 miles just a few minutes before the incident. I am being told there is nothing wrong with the car, yet we are driving a loaner car because the dealership management wants to look at the "allegedproblem" closer.
I'm not sure exactly when the problems with unexpected acceleration began with this car, but they are fairly recent.all occurred when the car was stopped or moving very slowly.i do not have very good recollections of the earliest of these occurrences, but i can remember the last three clearly.the first of these was in march 2015.i was driving in an area where the speed limit was 35 mph and had stopped for a traffic signal.i remember clearly that i had my foot solidly on the brake pedal; i had been making a special point of that as a result of the earlier occurrences.i felt the engine speed up, but the car did not move.the second occasion was on march 29th when i was driving in a residential area and had stopped at a four-way stop.i was waiting for a pedestrian (walking a dog) who was crossing the road on the opposite side from where i was stopped.i do not have a firm recollection of exactly where my right foot was positioned, but it certainly was not on the accelerator.suddenly the car accelerated, heading toward the pedestrian.i was able to avoid hitting her by making a sharp right turn into the cross street and then bringing the car to a stop.the third occasion was on april 5th.in attempting to park the car in a lot near a grocery store, i turned the car into an empty parking space. I was pressing the brake pedal gently to bring the car to a stop at the curb on a median strip that separated my parking area from a similar one on the other side of the median.the car was just a few feet from where it should have stopped when it suddenly accelerated, jumped over the curb, and crossed the median, striking an unoccupied car parked on the other side.i was able to stop my car only after the crash caused some minor damage to the front bumpers of both cars.

- uneven and unexpected sudden acceleration without any additional pedal pressure - had sudden acceleration while making a turn and vehicle went out of control - experienced sudden acceleration while changing lanes on a freeway - even received a traffic ticket in dec 2009 once for failing to yield when the vehicle did not slow down on pressing on the brake - several times experienced deceleration while trying to speed up and cross a signal light and other locations - many times noted sluggish pickup when starting the car after driving a while and stopping at intersection or due to traffic and then trying to continue driving- sometimes i clearly hear the engine throttle being disproportionate to the gas pedal pressing and a sudden thrust happening in the vehicle- once while starting from an intersection, the front wheel of the car went into a spin faster than the rear wheel causing a slipping motion and this was on a clear day and good road condition.- vehicle loses balance or shakes on the slightest of winds or when changing lanes. This kind of problems i never even had in my old smaller ford focus 2002 car. - this vehicle is not covered by toyota recall for the accelerator pedal issue but these problems exist as they definitely are an electronic circuit problem. - the floor mat issue or sticky pedal issue is not my problem clearly - toyota salesmen knowingly did not inform me of the recalls and full extent of details of the acceleration issue and after the sale was consummated in passing mentioned me to keep the floor mat tied an that was it.

While attempting to park my vehicle on april 20, 2017, my car surged forward and did not slow down when brakes were applied.i hit another parked vehicle and did considerable damage to that vehicle as well as to the front end of my car.over $6,000 worth of damage was done to my car alone.on sept. 7, 2017, again while trying to park my car, i was advancing very slowly and pressing very lightly on the accelerator pedal when the car surged forward very quickly.i tried with great force to apply the brake so as not to hit any other vehicles near me.luckily, i was able to get the car to stop but was frightened to death.the accelerator pedal did not respond appropriately to the little pressure i applied when attempting to part the car in both instances.
On friday, 25 march, 2011 at about 4 pm, my wife experienced a sudden deceleration event on our 2010 toyota camry.she made a right turn & in about a half mile, the camry suddenly slowed to less than 10 mph from about 40 mph.she pulled into the first parking lot to the right and shut off the camry. She said no matter how much she pressed on the accelerator, the car was not responding to the accelerator.she said the check engine and the stability control lights were on.she tried restarting the car and drove a little in the parking lot, the 2 dash lights were on, but it was driving ok.she drove the car slowly approximately 5 more miles to our home.i arrived soon & i checked the codes with my diagnostic tool, and the ecu was showing an active p0121 (throttle/pedal position sensor a, circuit range performance).so we drove the car slowly to atlanta toyota, 2345 pleasant hill road, duluth, ga 30096.during the drive to the dealership, the dash lights went off.i reported the code p0121 to the service rep, and the driving symptoms.the next day (saturday, 26 march 2011) atlanta toyota called me reporting that there were no codes in the ecu.i repeated the code that i had read.the rep stated they would check again.again atlanta toyota called me, stating no codes found, and they had test driven the car and could not replicate the problem. They did replace the accelerator pedal assembly.on the drive home from the dealership i noticed that the clock time had changed about 30 minutes, and all the radio presets were gone, as if the battery had been disconnected.i inquired and the dealership rep said the battery had not been touched.my concern is thistoyota may have reprogrammed my car due to the sudden deceleration issue, (hence the clock & radio changes), and they are not being forthcoming regarding repairs.all they will say is, there were no codes.
The day after purchasing my 2010 camry, the car seemed to ride funny.i felt uneasy but initially thought it may be that it was my first completely new car.this went on for the next few weeks, i.e. The car seeming to jerk or heave, regardless of the speed.i was worried that there was something wrong with the engine and then the lights on the aircondition/heating board stopped working so i thought it was an electrical problem instead.i took it in.the mechanic explained everything away, explained the 'electrical problem', and stated that the heaving feeling i was sensing was that the car was computerized and that it took time for the accelerator to catch up with the signal the computer was giving it, or something like that.he ran an engine check and everything was fine.on my service sheet he simply stated that i had complained about the accelerator hesitating (which i did not), but did not document that i brought the car in complaining that it had electrical problems.a week later there was the recall.when i later called about the recall and continued to complain about the accelerator problem, the serviceman ( a different one) told me that i would feel no change in the way the way the car drove so he would have someone ride with me to try to figure out what i was talking about.the day before taking the car in for the fix, the car slightly accelerated when i was trying to come to a stop.after the fix, a toyota representative rode with me (i let him drive), but the car did appear to ride better after the fix. The car does still feel better than when i first bought it but seems to be gradually getting worse since the fix, e.g. The car occasionally slightly accelerates when i am coming to a stop.
On february 2, 2010 i was entering my garage and slowly drove in, ithen placed my foot on the brake to stop, i then opened the drivers side door slightlyas i was about to place the vehicle in park a short revving of the engine began, right before i placed the shifter into park the vehicle jumped into reverse and began to accelerate backwards,causing damage to the drivers side door which flew open due to the reverse acceleration, the wall in my garage ,the garage railing , the side panel of the garage were all damaged as a result. I then slammed on the brakes and the parking brakes, placed the shifter in neutral and then turned off the engine,i then calledthe toyota corporation and explained the event to them. Their process was slow and not considerate to my needs as a consumer. After several days and numerous phone calls toyota finally responded andi was told that i was going to have to wait another 4 days for someone else from their regional department to get in touch with me. I finally decided to let my insurance company handle the vehicles damage because i only have one car.after a week in the shop i then took the vehicle a toyota dealer for them to repair the recall issues. Toyota explained to me that they fixed the recall problems and returned the vehicle back to me.

On my morning commute i had to initiate a fast acceleration by depressing the accelerator pedal fully to gain speed and upon taking my foot off the pedal i noticed it remained depressed fully and continued to accelerate. This situation had happened a year prior in a similar case where i had put "the pedal to the metal" and the accelerator pedal stuck to the floor. Slamming on the brakes allowed the accelerator to disengage and operate as normal. The instance today occurred on a city street while driving straight; max acceleration was engaged at around 5mph and my top speed reached 40mph before i was able to regain control of the accelerator pedal.

Problem:2010 toyota 4 dr camry:i am81 years old. After checking with the new jersey dealer where i bought the this car 51/2 months ago, i was told my vin # was ok for no problem with the gas pedal sticking, but i should go in for the mat/gas pedalproblem.i did & was told it was done.on 2/16, i was pulling into a spot at cvs.i took my foot off of the gas pedal and started to put the foot on the brake when the car suddenly flew up forward over the cement curb and into the dirt and bushes which, thank god stopped the car. I will never get back into my 2010 toyota camry again.they hauled the car to their dealership and got me a honda rental.i made an appointment with general mgr..he told me so far they had not been able to find anything in the car.i told him i would never drive that car again and my sons had told me no matter what these people said i was not to drive it.i explained along with never being able to drive that car again i would not now purchase another toyota. He told me they could give me $17,000. Refund leaving me to eat $10,916. On a car i have had for 5months and had only 2,091 miles on it.i was told to talk to someone at their corporate office in ca and they offered me nothing but a slick ?your word against mine? nothing help. I could see the writing on the wall i went out the next day, bought a ford fusion and drove away in my new car.i am contacting you not only because toyota did not try to assist me with my problem, but also i have been having nightmares about the thousands of people who were told their vin # had no gas pedal problem as i had been told and may find outthat is not true-as i did.

My 2010 camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge i'm experiencing. I contacted toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" i think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the rpm dial when i go to stop. He saw the rpm dial move up to almost 2000 when i hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 camry and it did the same thing.i had a 98 avalon and a 03 camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older toyota's. He assured me that my car is safe and i have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here i'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think i'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because i love my new car...i'm just really nervous driving it.

Ever since i have owned this car i've noticed the accelerator and brakes are extremely touch and impossible to accelerate smoothly from a stop. The brakes are also extremely touchy so it's hard to come to a smooth stop without jerking. I have never had a problem like this and after reading all the complaints about about the accelerator and brakes i'm very worried that my car will eventually cause an accident. I would like to know if the people who had accidents or near accidents had this problem before the car went out of control. When using speed control it will always blink and have to be turned off and on

I have a new 2010 camry with 2,000 miles on it.i read that toyota "has agreed" to a brake over-ride on new vehicles - but mine is "only" to get the pedal fix.don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.this new vehicle i'm driving "needs" the brake over-ride.let's not let them get out of this fix.it will only lead to more law suits and lost lives.this needs to be pushed at all the upcoming hearings and they need to agree to the fix.not "just" new productions.this car i have is a "new" 2010 with 2,000 miles.yes, there was a crash, but not with mine "yet".
I am not a toyota owner, however i believe i am the victim of a toyota accident. Yesterday, my car was parked outside of my office ataround 10:45 am i hear a crash and see my vehicle (2008 chevy equinox) pick up off the ground. Vehicle owner phuong vo, driving a 2010 toyota camry had slammed into the back of my car, and damaged it from front to back, including removing my back axel completely. When i came outside, there was an additional truck following this camry. Apparently the camry had hit this persons car, he got in it to follow the driver, and then witnessed the driver hit an additional 5 cars before crashing into mine and coming to a stop! now i am very upset because, not only does this toyota driver not have enough insurance to cover my damages, but his insurance company is refusing to pay for my damages and provide me with a rental vehicle. I did nothing wrong. Just went to work yesterday, and now i am out of a $500 deductible, and my vehicle is expected to take weeks before being repaired.furthermore, the st louis police department had reported that when an officier tried to move the vehicle it seemed as if the gas pedal was stuck to the floor.
Bought my 2010 camry last aug. Noticed sudden speeds once in a while. Called dealer, they said it was normal. Here recently; i had the recall repairs done. It still feels as if the car wants to speed without me foot on the gas. Called dealership and once again they said it was normal because of the different clutch system vs that of older cars. It doesn't feel normal to me. I'm afraid to drive my car but i have no choice. I need it for my job which demands alot of driving. Not sure what to do at this point.
Got a toyota camry le april 3rd 2010, today is april 9th,i was entering a parking slot between 2 parked cars (drivers were inside their cars waiting for the shift to start), the car did an unintended sudden acceleration as i was turning into the parking spot, was about to hit the car on my left, luckily hit the brakes in time. The driver in the parked car on the left was looking at me like i was some crazy guy who didn't know how to drive.note to readers- i had not taken the issue seriously, didn't even know what exactly was wrong with toyotas, went and got one because they were having good deals, but you don't take it lite, it's a serious issue, you'll feel it only when it happens to you, i'm going to return the car tomorrow, not sure how much i end up spending.
Another toyota consumer with no fix, they keep saying your car is not included your not having those issues... Your car was built in japan...

No concern from toyota run around all the time like im making up stories as againyour car is not included in these problems 31,000.00 problem for me as car is not safe is not usable and can not be traded no one wants and values continue to fall quickly.......

Toyota camry (rented from hertz ann arbor sheraton). Delayed response when removing foot form accelerator pedal.vehicle maintains speed for a very noticeable 1 or 2 seconds.100% repeatable while driving at highway speed.the vehicle actually remains under power even though the driver has removed the input command.i observed the same delay each time i removed my foot from the accelerator pedal.even being aware of this situation i was caught off guard when a truck changed lanes in front of me.i removed my foot expecting to slow down only to realize that the vehicle continued at speed closing the gap between me and the truck while the truck decelerated. When i removed my foot from pedal and shift into neutral to remove the load, i witnessed the rpm will increase 400-1000 rpm depending on terrain and amount the throttle was depressed to maintain vehicle speed.this rpm spike is brief in duration (1 second or less).i repeated this an estimated 30 times under various grade conditions.(ohio turnpike,i-475, us 23 northbound michigan).the worst case being driving up a slight grade maintaining 2100 rpm.i fully removed my foot from the accelerator pedal, shifted into neutral ,and observed a blip to 3100 rpm.

I am the owner of a 2010 toyota camry which has the defects now under investigation involving out-of-control acceleration of the car.this car presents a serious potential hazard to myself and to others and i will not continue to drive it.toyota needs to be severely dealt with for putting the almighty dollar ahead of providing a safe car that their customers could trust - and for their deception in attempting to hide, cover up, dismiss the problems and not deal with legitimate complaints well before this time.toyota's actions and lack of action has put millions of people at risk to the point of causing multiple deaths and injurieson our highways and roads.a once trusted automobile company has abandoned the principles they must adhere to in building an automobile - first and foremost, providing an automobile that is safe to drive.they have thus abandoned the customer, causing not only death but immense distress among millions of car owners who can no longer trust the car they purchased - at great expense - and now see its value sinking rapidly.my camry has less than 1000 miles on it.i expect and deserve fair compensation for the trust and money that i put into this company for a car that is unsafe to drive.i want my money back!now.

We bought our 2010 toyota camry on 12/31/2010 unaware of the recall that was about to hit. When we started hearing about the recalls, we got on the toyota web site. Our vehicle that we purchased 2 weeks prior was now on a recall list. When we contacted our local dealer, they said to do nothing, toyota was sending out a letter the following week with all recall cars listed and when to bring them in. We never received a letter from the company nor the local dealership. When calling to demand this issue be fixed on monday 3/8/2010, they took my name and number, said someone would call me back, and never did. My car has depreciated, i can't even get out from under it and am scared to death to drive it. I am appalled at the lack of response or concern from this company. I want out of this contract !!!

I purchased a new 2010 toyota camry in oct-2009 and i realized after 2-3 weeks that there is something wrong in there. The rpm goes high (and tries to stay there) when down-shifting even without the leg is off the gas paddle. While i understand that downshifting may increase rpm but then i feel like it wants to stay there by means of some un-intended acceleration. When i realized that there is something wrong, i just ignored the issue because i did not want to take the car to the dealer and let them mess it up further. I thought this is happening because it is a new car. After few miles driven, the issue will go away.but when i learned about the un-intended acceleration in january 2010, i realized that the issue is more serious and i should not ignore any more.i went to dealer but as i expected, they did not take it seriously and told me that the car runs as per design. I went for the recall too but it did not make any difference.being an engineer, i myself have established few simple test cases where one can prove that there is definately something wrong in the car. And if the car runs as per design, then there is something wrong in the design itself. I knew in advance that taking the car to the dealership was not going to work. I purchased a new vehicle so that i can keep on driving it nicely for years to come but i neve expect it to be going togarage for such a serious issue in less than 3 months!i have not received any satisfactory answer/solution to my problem so far.

11/24/09 i was driving my 2010 camry in a parking lot.my children were in the back seat. I was traveling 10 mph.myright foot was not on the gas, nor the brake, the torque of the engine was sufficient for moving us along while looking for a parking space.my right foot was above the brake as i was slowly looking for a parking spot.suddenly, i heard a very loud vvrrooommmm and the car spontaneously accelerated andlunged forwardapproximately 20 feet.thankfully, i was able to brake quickly and stopped the car.i then took it to the dealership. Conicelli ran a diagnostic on my car.later that day when i picked up the car, they said they found nothing.when i asked them where the "spontaneous acceleration" (a problem toyota earlier in the day told me they were having) would have appeared on the diagnostic, they were at a loss.let me be very clear that there was not a floor mat in the driver's side.i do not believe the "spontaneous acceleration"was caused by the "mat issue."i know my experience was real and not caused by driver error.i feel the problem is elsewhere and exacerbated for some drivers because they had the floor mats in place.please press toyota to get to the bottom of this issue.i no longer feel safe in my 2010 toyota camry that i bought for safety reasons in the first place. Thank you.
Since the time i bought my new 2010 toyota camry, i saw issues with the way the car transmission worked at speeds from 0-50mph. Starting from the first week of my using the car, i went to the dealership a total of 4 times, only to be sent back after a "test drive" saying nothing is wrong. In my own language, i had been explaining the issue which now looks exactly similar to the 'sticking gas pedal" recall recently informed by toyota. My car was still accelerating while braking, or would start braking when my foot is off the accelerator. I also used to feel a jerk when the car moved between speeds of 0-50mph. I commute 70 miles daily to work and i have noticed this daily to the point that i have started ignoring out of deep frustration. The dealer test drives and causes embarrassment saying they cannot recreate my issue. I logged an incident with toyota (091214-000053). It led to my fourth visit to the dealer with the same answer. Toyota's response from a case manager was that if they cannot recreate they will not do anything. I almost feel this is a hopeless case as i don't think neither toyota nor the dealership were truly serious about assisting me. They could have at least informed me that there are some potential issues with their vehicles that they are working on. I reopened a new case (100130-000604). So far i have received no recall notice from toyota. I don't think they are handling this the right way. I haven't had any major incidents, but i don't think i can wait for that to happen to get the attention of toyota or its dealer. This is not a smart way of solving an issue. I feel disappointed, angry and helpless.
I approached the main intersection in my 2010 camry from a side street at a stop sign.when i put my foot on the brake the car continued to accelerate into the main intersection. I collided with an oncoming car causing approx. $3400.there were no injuries and the damage to the front of the car was repaired.only the body damage was corrected on the vehicle. No internal repairs have been made as of yet.

My vehicle has been recalled and "repaired" - gas pedal, floor mat, brake override system.prior to the recall, the gas pedal was sluggish and i would experience mini, sudden accelerations.there has been no improvement since the repairs (3/2/2010).in fact, it appears to have become more frequent,the sudden accelerations are not dramatic and braking does take care of the problem.
I bought a new 2010 camry. I complained to the dealer the very next day that the accelerator pedal was too sensitive and the car was not drivable. I was assured that all accelerator pedal recall modifications were done on the car before the sale. I was still not satisfied. The manager of the shop and i did a test drive and after a detailed discussion of the accelerator pedal and design defects we jointly agreed to try and replace the pedal mechanism with one made - not by the us vendor - but by nippondenso -- toyota's alternate vendor in japan. To my great surprise the accelerator pedal was of a different design and feel. With the nippondenso pedal the foots position on the pedal is at a much more comfortable angle. But most important of all the response characteristics is a 100% better than the american made pedal. With the usmade pedal the car had a "step" response whilst with the nippondenso pedal it has more of a "ramp" response. I was told by the dealer's shop manager that the nippondenso made pedal mechanism does not need the spacer or the floor mat modification either. I am surprised that two vendors making the same part for the same manufacturer to the same specifications and drawings have products that are so vastly different. The only thing common between the pedal mechanisms from the two vendors is its mounting on the floor board. Where is toyota's quality control? in my opinion there is a strong co-relation between unintended acceleration complaints and the us made accelerator pedal design and its sharp "step" response. Let all those who have a complaint about the unintended acceleration insist on replacing the pedal mechanism made by nippondenso. Nhtsa should look into the variations in the design from the two vendors and question as to why toyota has permitted the vendors to design the mechanisms rather than just build it to toyota's specifications.

I drive a 2010 toyota camry with about 7500 miles.at about 11:20 a.m. Today my rear window exploded as i stopped at a traffic light on arlington mill road in arlington, va.when the explosion occurred i did not know what it was and looked around for the source.when i looked to the rear i saw the window in fragments. I saw no one around me although there may have been several vehicles stopped at the light behind me.they all drove around and continued on when the light changed.i crossed the light to not hold up traffic and then called aaa to determine what to do. I take product pictures of products i market over the internet and had a camera with me, so i took several pictures.i did not call the police as i could see no one who might have fired a gun or thrown a stone.aaa advised that i should not drive the car as it was not safe to other drivers if shattered glass flew off into the road way.

Vehicle was not in motion or turned on.noticed the visor was down when i entered the vehicle and tried to push it back in the upright position and it kept falling-so finally got it to stick in the clamp so it would not fall out and without thinking i moved it to blocked the sun when i was driving and it blocked my view and fell off on this week. My car mileage is at 127,000 miles and i am going to call the car dealership on the next business day to see if there is a recall for this-it should be since this is definitely a driving hazard.

The sun visor just hang downward to block my vision and i had to use one hand to hold it up while driving.this is a big safety concern with the broken sun visor on the driver side.driver have to hold the sun visor with one hand and leave one hand to drive.this impact the safety in driving.

While driving on the freeway around 5:45 a.m. On 9-4-2017 at about 60-65 mph, when i heard a loud bang and discovered that my sunroof glass had exploded and shattered.i did not hit anything, nothing was thrown at me and i was not under an overpass.when i got home, i examined the entire top portion of the vehicle's glass and did not observe any rocks, bottles or other items that would have caused the glass to break.i also observed that the glass was curved/bowed upward indicating that an object did not hit it. It has been extremely hot in the sacramento area with temperatures reaching over 110 degrees, so not sure if that contributed to the glass shattering.i have researched online and discovered that this seems to be a common problem with various makes and models of vehicles, including toyota, with several lawsuits as well.

In less than a year after i purchased my vehicle the driver side visor started to fall and would not stay up.i purchased another driver side visor (about $85.00).later i received a letter about a recall on the visor.i still had my receipt at the time, therefore i submitted it for a refund.well guess what, the replacement visor did not last long.it started to fall (2012) and for a while it would stay up when i pushed it back up, unless i hit a pothole or a bump.now (2016) it will no longer stay up.i am not happy that i will need to spend estimate $85 for a third visor that will only last for how long?first time since i owned a car (this is my third car and first toyota. Last car i had for 14 years.) that i have had this type of non-mechanical problems with a car.i just had the glove compartment replaced (sept. 2017) because it would not stay closed nor would it lock.it just fell open while i was parked and would not close again. That cost me almost $200 to get the parts needed to fix it, because a replacement box from toyota cost was $600.
Sun visors will not stay in the up position; it affects my visual range.dash board sticky; leave in area where temperature reaches over 115* f.
Dash board is sticky and melting.called toyota because found warranty information and they said their warranty expired in may 2017. In may,my dashboard was fine.today's date is august 22, 2017. Does toyota know exactly how long the dashboard lasts and terminate their warranty a month prior. Car is not drivable due to shiny reflection of sun.
My driver side and passanger visor do not stay up the driver side wouldnt stay up at all so i have had to remove it for safety reasons and the driver side is starting to hang this is a common issue from complaints i see
My driver's side visor just fell apart and was hanging tried tying it up ,glued with no success. I find this to be a hazard since i was on the interstate driving 70 mph. Haven't received a recall for this obvious issue.
The driver's side sun visor is broken.it fell while the vehicle was in motion.it will no longer stay up and falls down obstructing the driver's view.it also falls down when attempting to use it for it's intended purpose, which is to block the sun.toyota has issued a warranty enhancement but has put restrictions on the car's model year and date of purchase.my car is a 2010, and missed being eligable for the warranty enhancemanet by 3 months.my sun visor is just as broken as the person who bought their car 3 months after me.i would like to ask nhtsa why a recall has not been issued due to this being a chronic problem and certainly a safety issue. I would also like to ask toyota why they have not issued a voluntary recall, as they are aware of this design flaw. At the very least, why are all model yearsnot included in the warranty enhancement program?
It happened 9/20/16 on my toyota camry 2010 with 57037 miles i was driving east in the sun with sun visor down and all of a sudden the visor comes from the link, so i had immediately apply brakes to avoid any mishap due to sun visor breaking. The sun visor replace/repair is covered by the toyota warranty but toyota is saying that only certain vin numbers are covered this is ridiculous, i had my pregnant wife sitting in the passenger side, toyota is not entertaining the claim to fix or replace the sun visor. Currently i have no sun visor on the driver side.
Both sun visors were defective. When in 2016 i went to dealership in tinely park il, i requested that both defective sun visor should be replaced under extended warranty that toyota generated. Service writer told me that unless sun visor fall down completely, toyota would not authorize the repair. And dealership repaired only the driver side and denied repair on passenger side.today, my passenger sun visor flops down and seriously obstructs visibility - creating very unsafe condition. I called toyota dealership and toyota corporate office on july 18th 2019. Both denied the claim and denied necessary repair.this is unacceptable from any auto manufacturer - showing their lack of responsibility.
Sun visor started falling down - could not make it stay up. Makes it hard to see at night. I fixed it so it would stay up but now can't move it down in bright sunlight. Very hazardous to be driving this way. I don't have money for the expensive repairs. Do you warranty this safety issue???
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the plastic base of the driver side sun visor fractured, which caused the sun visor to hang, and blocked the visibility of the driver. Neither an independent mechanic nor the dealer diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.updated 11/27/2017
Sun visor flops down obstructing driver's view.this is a known defect and toyota issued an extended warranty coverage for 7 years of warranty repair.however, my visor failed 3 1/2 months after the extension expired and the local dealer and toyota america refused to pay for the repair.the visor flops down and will not stay up.it obscures the driver's vision.
Sun visor does not stay up obstructing vision.it has been getting worse over time.there was a customer support from toyota but i was never notified.
Writing about the sun visors on the 2010 toyota camry. Seems unusual to me that i've had two of them that i have had to replace in the past 2 years. In both cases, the sun visors lost their ability to stay upright and started dropping down into the drivers' visual field while driving. This happened to the visors on both the driver and passenger sides. I bought replacements and installed them myself. Not hugely expensive just seems like a defect, and potential safety hazard, that should be addressed. I was surprised to find so many youtube videos online addressing the problem. They helped me do the repair myself, but seems to signal that this has been a problem for many owners of these toyota cars. I'm only listing the date of the last one i replaced. The first one occurred within the past two years.
The dashboard on this vehicle started "melting" and became sticky and gooey about 6 months ago.i thought it was dirty and could not clean off the stickiness.while driving the car there was also a reflective glare coming off the dashboard which made it very difficult to see while driving.the dashboard also emitted a strong odor that was making it difficult for me to breathe and my eyes to burn and cause " coughing.i did not realize it was coming from the dashboard until i researched it and found out that there was a toyota recall regarding the "melting dashboards.i called toyota on 10-19-2020 and was told that the warranty and the extended warranty for this problem expired and there was nothing i could do.i explained to them that i was never notified by toyota by mail, phone or email about the recall and they still said there was nothing i could do.i believe toyota needs to honor the warranty to replace my dashboard as i was never notified.they said because my car was not serviced at a toyota dealership since 2017 that is why i was not informed of the recall.i had my car serviced regularly, but not at a toyota dealership.toyota should have mailed me a recall notice, which they did not.if i had been notified of the recall i would have /replacement taken it in for service
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the passenger side sun visor detached from the support and impaired the contact's view when driving. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to central toyota (located at 3305 stadium blvd, jonesboro, ar 72401), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the dashboard became sticky and it created a glare on the windshield from the sub causing their visibility to be difficult, while driving. The manufacturer was contacted and offered a courtesy safety recall for a replacement of the dashboard for their vehicle but the contact was not able to get the vehicle to the local dealer don mcgill toyota (11800 katy fwy, houston, tx 77079) because the vehicle was out of state and because of covid concerns. The contact stated that the vehicle was back in state and they wanted to take advantage of the courtesy recall but the local dealer informed them it was too late and they would not replace the dashboard. The failure mileage was 180,000.
Passenger side sun visor broken.
The drivers side sun visor will not stay in its folded, up position against the roof of the car. It will fall down impeding my view of the road and traffic. No damage or misuse has occurred and the visor is rarely used. This is a potentially severe problem were the visor to fall at an improper time, e.g. When a vehicle breaks in front of me. I have two young children and this seemingly minor defect is putting multiple lives in jeopardy. Please remedy this situation.
Dashboard has become sticky causing glare on window impairing drivers ability to see properly.
The sunvisor on drivers side just fell off and now it is very hard to see outside because of the glare from lights and sun.i was driving when it fell off the bracket.
While driving on highway and going to adjust my visor the driver's side visor came apart and started to hang and falling in my vision. This is very dangerous while driving at high speeds and paying attention in traffic.
The windshield wipers have always left streaks on window passenger side hardly visible in snow and some heavy rain drives side barely does the job even after replacing with new wiper blades . Sun visors both quite holding positiondriver's side first then the passenger side a week later had to remove drives side it broke off of pivot pin and was hanging down blocking visibility . Veryunsafe appears partfailed inside visor.
Passenger side visor dropped when adjusted down,due to sun. Now wont stay up,partially blocking driver view.
The dashboard is breaking down and has become very sticky. This causes glare when driving at night that is a safety issue. I called toyota about it on 9/14/209, but they said their 'warrant enhancement' expired on 8/13/2019. Toyota said that they sent a letter in 2016, which i never received. I had my car serviced at a toyota deal (jack taylor toyota, alexandria va), and they never notified me of the 'warranty enhancement.' they said that they only had to notify for recall safety issues. They said that they could replace it for @2,171.46 this is a safety issue and this should be a recall, not just a 'warranty enhancement.' toyota's methods to notify are inadequate and this problem is ongoing - me and many others will have this safety problem beyond toyota's warrant period. Especially since they do such a poor job of customer notification. This causes a lot of road glare at night and will cause accidents and deaths. Toyota is obviously not doing the right thing on their own. I hope the ntsb can please advance a recall for this issue.
Sun visor keeps falling down
"takata recall"i have a 2010 toyota camry.august2016 i started noticing that the sun visor on the divers side was slightly retracting back into position (half position).by september 2016, it was no longer retracting at all making it hard for me what was going on around me in traffic.by the end of september 2016,the visor is completely off.
Driver visor, after it is extended to the side, does fall and sag further than it should, covering a lower portion than normal of the side driver window. Visibility to the side is greatly reduced; it is almost impossible to see traffic approaching perpendicularly from the left side, and i am a relatively short driver.toyota says this is a known issue and even had a 7 year warranty extension called customer support program ztt. This problem is now evident in my car, which is 7.5 years old, and toyota refuses to cover it.i understand this is a safety issue and that 7 year warranty extension was just a cheap substitute for what should be a recall.there are plenty of videos and pictures of this issue that can be searched online
I was driving down the freeway in montana. Not a lot of trafficand not following any cars.out of the blue, there was a loud explosion on the sunroof. Upon pulling over, the sunroof had exploded and shattered. Very glad the slider had been closed as i could have been badly cut, plus i had a passenger.my husbandhad pulled off the road so i could drive, so not at a high speed, when it occurred. I have documentation that the roof was replaced by glass doctor.
The sun visor fell down blocking vision. Could not be forced hold original position. Finally removed visor while driving for safety purposes.
Dashboard melting and sticky.reflecting in windshield and distorting view.unable to clean without messing up the dashboard.it is turning soft.

The rear windshield is tinted. It has deteriorated so much that i can not see through it while in drivers seat. It is extremely blurry and translucent. At night time it is all streaked light reflections. This condition is a severe safety hazard. The tint film has bubbled.noticed it happen last year but now it has become worst.

The dash is covered with a sticky substance.it was just an annoyance but now in the sunshine, it glares back on the windshield and is very hard to see.there has been more than once i have had to slow down or stop because i couldn't see.
Drivers side interior visor was pulled to "down" position, but the hinge broke leaving the visor hanging and obstructing drivers view. Visor had to be tapped to the head liner to allow driver to operate safely.
Recall visor failed after 2 years installed.dealer said is not cover with recall second time.
Drivers side visor became detached while vehicle was in motion on a city street. Became very loose all of a sudden, blocking vision, and then detached.toyota apparently has an extended warranty out on the issue but i am just outside of the window.
Drivers side sun visor separated and now is blocking vision, won't stay up or down. In fact i now hit my head when looking to change lanes.

Rear window of a 2010 toyota camry with approximately 7800 miles (rental) exploded while at a complete stop in traffic. No sign of foreign object striking window. Two areas of glass failure were noted, roughly following the radius of the glass on either side in a vertical pattern as it bends to meet the rear pillars. The window remained intact (albeit shattered) long enough to record it on my iphone, clearly showing two areas of failure with gaps of 1/4-1.5 inches between the center (flatter) portion of the glass and the left and right sides where it bends to meet the rear pillars. The widow fell into the car as soon as i resumed movement on the street. The sound was like that of a gunshot, loud enough to draw a crown of pedestrians in the area who witnessed it.

I purchased a camry in january 2010, and 2 years later i need new tires.now they tell me that this could be normal, but i have previously purchased 2 other new cars and have never had to buy tires.the outside tread of my tire is completely bald.i regularly rotate my tires and get the needed maintenance.i have had problems with my car pulling to one side when driving but was told nothing was wrong with it by a toyota dealership service department.i have filed a complaint with toyota and they seem not to care about my situation.i believe there is a defect because a worker at the dealership stated that this happens to many of the camry's that he has seen.
This car has required 6 sets of tires in less than 90,0000 miles. The driver's side window will roll down when pressing the button to roll it up. This has been going on since the first oil change. The air conditioner occasionally switches itself from recycled to fresh air while driving for unknown reasons. Sensor in passenger seat malfunctions causing random alarm about seatbelt when no one is seated there. The dashboard became sticky to the touch, and cloth would stick to it when attempting to wipe it clean. The dashboard then developed several deep cracks, running erraticallyly from front to back. In places around trim pieces, dashboard plastic has flaked away. Plastic on the top of the console's lid has chipped and flaked away, and cracks have developed around it. Paint on trim of console has bubbled up and ruined the finish in console drink holder lid. The cd player malfunctioned, with a disc read error reported, though no disc was inside the player, requiring replacement of system. The aux audio port failed after only a year of regular use. The floor mats had to be removed due to the acceleration recall and the service department at dealership wanted to provide recall service limited to securing these with a zip tie. Carpeting became stained and filthy, and could not be effectively cleaned, so carpeting had to be replaced by owner. Recall notices received from toyota by the owner have been expressly limited to weight capacity rating sticker, although this was toyota financed vehicle and owner's address remains unchanged. Otherwise, all recall notices received by registered owner, have been limited to those reported by nhtsa following owner's registration at website. Local dealership has routinely been uncooperative, dismissive, or contentious when warranty service requests were made. Dealership offers only reasons to deny warranty repairs or replacements.
When i purchased the car it had 39,675 miles on it.the car was certified.at 89,226 miles i had to have maintenance on thewheel bearing - replaced inner and outer bearings (cups and seals and repacked where necessary).left front wheel.repair mileagerear brake cylinder 46,804left front wheel bearing89,226engine replace sent prior complaint.i am so, so, so, upset with toyota.
I bought a brand new 2010 camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which i have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly.moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving.also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, i cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but i am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first toyota i've owned, and it will be the last.
Bought 2010 toyota camry new.with less than 5000 miles on odometer took back to local dealer complaining about vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds.car now has 20,000 miles, and after third visit to local dealer service department all they say is bad tires and toyota does not warrant tires.filed complaint with toyota and company says same thing.
