On sunday evening april 12 i was pulling into a parking space at the holiday inn in east brunswick nj. When i applied the break, my vehicle accelerated on its own. It jumped the curbing in front of the parking space, swiped the front of a parked vehicle and crashed into a stone birdbath in front of the hotel. Miraculously i escaped with a rather ugly bruise to my left forearm and to my right breast from seat belt pressure. My airbag did not open. I will send the police report in another email. It says i was attempting to park in a "handicapped" spot. I was not. I am not handicapped.it also says i "inadvertently" applied the gas instead of the break. I never told anyone that. I was fully awake, conscious and applied the break. I sent a data imaging authorization and consent form to [xxx]. I have to enter a plea by mail to careless driving charges by 5/18/15.i requested that holiday inn provide me with surveillance video butwas told that they would "deal directly" with the insurance company.i was notified on april 27th that my vehicle has been deemed a total loss.i was notified on april 29th that the vehicle's "black box" (for lack of a better description at the moment) would be inspected on april 30th and i would received a report on may 4th.i have no idea as to where to go from here.i need help.

Vehicle was being driven on a dirt road, going around a corner, the vehicle did not slow down and went off the road and skidded alongside the road for about 30 ft.the vehicle then hit a few small stumps, still without slowing down, and finally slammed into a large tree.the impact in which the car hit the tree was so strong that the back end of the car rose up into the air and stayed in that vertical position. Only the tail lights were still visible from the road after the car slammed into the tree and stopped.if the tree hadn't been hit, the car would have continued down the hillside into the bottom of a ravine, about another 40 ft.the entire front drivers side was shoved almost to the windshield and not one of the airbags deployed. The entire drivers side of the motor and hood were destroyed, the battery was crushed and leaking acid everywhere and was sitting behind the front tire and the hood was "v" shaped and pushed into the windshield. There were no skid marks so clearly the brakes weren't functioning properly either, also the speed in which the vehicle went into the tree shows that the acceleration was faulty because the vehicle wouldn't slow down.the drivers face slammed into the steering wheel and broke her nose and received a possible concussion because the airbags failed to deploy, along with numerous bruises and scratches.the damage is so severe that the car is a total loss but still we are left wondering why the airbags didn't go off.if the driver hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, it is very likely that she would have been thrown straight through the windshield and it would have been a fatality.we have pictures of the vehicle and the scene of the accident to show just how serious and dangerous this is.we would like to have answers as to why a vehicle with such high crash test ratings would fail to provide adequate safety to the driver.

We were in a construction zone, and we were at a complete stop in stop and go traffic. The car behind us going 65 ? 70 mph never stopped. Smashed us from behind and pushed us into the back of a semi truck. I have contacted toyota and they said they do no go off all the time. Isn't what they are for? this was an impact from the back and the front. When i did the research on airbags, they are designed to go of at what mph. The reason that we purchased this vehicle was for the safety ratings. I would like to get some answers. All toyota does is make excuses. I loved my car. 2011 toyota camry.

I am writing because i believe that toyota may have underreported a problem with the voluntary recall associated with nhtsa campaign number 13v014000.i own a 2011 toyota camry.however, my vin was not a part of the recall, or neither i nor my dealer received notice.as you know, this recall is associated with the failure of the front passenger airbag to inflate in an accident. On february 17, 2015, my wife and daughter were t-boned, with the striking car hitting the front passenger door and b-pillar area flush at about 40 mph.although the passenger side air curtain deployed, the right side airbag did not. My daughter received some injuries from the failureof this airbag to inflate and protect her.toyota did visit the vehicle after the collision and downloaded the data from the electronic control module, and it showed a failure of that airbag.i tried to attach a copy of the downloaded data for your review, but was not able to attach it.please let me know how to send you this pdf file.i am concerned that my car was not included in the recall and that perhaps toyota has underreported the extent of the problem, putting more unsuspecting toyota customers at risk. If you need any further information from me, please let me know. My cell phone number is [xxx]. I would like to be kept in the information loop regarding any investigation of toyota that results frommy complaint.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). ...updated 04/15/15 updated 10/3/2017

At speeds between 40 and 75, when the engine is lightly loaded, the computer controlled throttle cannot decide if it ought to be slightly open or completely closed. The worst case is when trying to maintain speed down a gentle hill. The throttle cycles intermittently between off and on. When the throttle shuts, the tach will suddenly drop about 150 rpm and the car noticeably decelerates. Often, after a few seconds, the computer seems to realize that the throttle shouldn't be all the way off, and commands the engine to speed up. Engine speed then jumps about 200 rpm, with an annoying surge and drops back about 50 rpm a second or so later. Occasionally the system would not 'wake up' and i would have to apply throttle to get the car to return to the desired speed, at which point it would accelerate through my target speed and i would back off, only to have the cycle repeat. Occasionally when attempting to decelerate, with my foot completely off the throttle, the car would continue to hold speed as if on cruise control. At one point, i proceeded about a half mile at 60 mph with my feet flat on the floor. Several times, i had to step on the brakes to keep from overrunning traffic ahead when the engine did not respond to reduced throttle. When decelerating to a stop from cruising speed (above 50 mph), particularly down a hill, after the throttle had initially closed, the vehicle would decelerate normally to about 40 mph, at which point engine speed would suddenly increase about 200 rpm and the vehicle would begin to gently accelerate. These uncommanded throttle excursions were mild. When the vehicle did not decelerate as commanded, speed could always be reduced with light brake application. But, the problem is consistently annoying and is a symptom that the computer controlled throttle system is not working properly in this vehicle. This rental car exhibited the problem consistently for a week. No check engine light.

I got my 150,000 tune, which included a computer refresh and alignment as well...well i asked for a replacement battery for my key fog and they gave a me a hard time about the battery...i just the need the battery changed on it and they said they would take care of it free of charge...when i got there they tried charging me $165 to change the battery in my key fog...which uses a round standard battery...and then they threaten me to take out the battery and then put the old one back in if i didn't comply. I ask to speak to the manager and he went ahead and did it for me like he originally had said....my dashboard after the computer refresh and key battery change my dashboard lights up with errors messages. And the car glitches and starts and shuts off when it wants to...and my alinement i got just before closing time and they reassuried me that it was good to go...and when i started driving it off the lot...it have another tire alignment on the opposite side of the car now....i've called them multiple times over and over and i've never heard anything back from them....
I was just leaving work and when i went to go start my car as usual and the windshield wipers went crazy and came on out of nowhere. My radio was blaring very loud and i never had it on to begin with! i've always heard toyota had some really good vehicles i hope this was just a one time deal and i can get it fixed soon! other than that great car!
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that the exterior trunk lid release button rubber covering melted as a result, the metal part of the button became extremely hot to touch. The contact sustained minor burns to the right hand that did not require medical attention. On a separate occasion while the contact was in the vehicle, the interior front power door locks and windows failed to operate when activated. The failure occurred in 100 degrees temperature. The dealer was notified, who informed the contact to use the fob inner key and point directly towards the push button starter in order to activate the power door locks and windows. The contact mentioned that the vehicle began to function properly. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
The speedometer is inaccurate by almost 10%,when driving by radars or with another vehicle at 35 mph the radar reads 32.driving next to another vehicle to check the speedometer, it reads 70 mph but the other vehicle's speedometer reads 64 mph.the dealership has verified the inaccuracy but claims the variance is within the spec of 10%.per the dealer and it's experts the speedometer cannot be calibrated or fixed since it is in spec.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that the passenger's side front air bag light remained illuminated. The check engine and the traction control warning lights also illuminated.

Power window on drivers side is intermittent.
While driving dashboard lights came on, lost engine power, pulled over, smoke from under hood-electrical fire, car totaled.
Drove down road keeping a constant 40-45mph.vehicle suddenly revs engine wildly to redline.car speed increases drastically to 65mph from 40-45mph.took foot off gas pedal and engine still accelerated.moments later engine went back to normal operating condition.
I am reporting the same speedometer variances as originally noted in odi case number: 10444688.my speed reflects 35 mph on my speedometer, when in fact it is only 33 mph.also, if i am going 55 - per the speedometer, the car in fact is only going 52 - 53 mph. This difference is consistant with an actual speed being about 5% less than what it actually displays on the camey's speedometer.i have 'checked' the actual speed by 1) a police speed monitoring sign/display that is put into various locations to both check your speed and to notifiy you of that actual speed in the hopes that you will slow down; and 2) by checking my tomtom gps unit which provides a true readout of my actual speed measured by its 8 satelites in the sky.it likewise always shows a lower 'actual' reading than what my speedometer shows.it is better to have the 'inacurracy' of the read speed to be on the lower end of things - i.e., you are going slower than you think you are, than to have it reversed - which would be both more unsafe and cause you to get speeding tickets.however, in this day-and-age, with 'digitial' instructments/chips'; you would think that 'measuring speed' correctly would be very simple task! ...makes you wonder, if they can't do this correctly - what else, of a more serious nature, is not working correctly.

Dash light intensity changes from very bright to very dim while driving, dealer states they can't reproduce.this problem is very distracting while driving. I have made a video on my phone to show them what is happening, the response is...... Yes there is a problem but we can't fix if we cant duplicate?

The rear wheels/brakes on my 2011 toyota camry locked up and caused me to loose control of the car.i crashed into a tree. The following a detailed description of the event. I exited my community, by making a left turn on a county road.the weather was cloudy, and the road was damp dur to recent rain.i was accelerating to 40 mph, which is the speed limit on a county road (a total of 2 lanes), until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph.when i removed my foot from the gas pedal, the back of the car started to loose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The rear end of the car went to the left side of the road.i tried to correct the direction to ensure i stayed in my lane.the rear end of the car started sliding to the right side within my lane and continued to slide/drift.as the car continued sliding the right, it went outside my lane, hit the dirt "shoulder", and hit a ditch covered with rocks, which caused the car to swing to the left.when the car hit the rocks, i felt my body lifted from my sit, but the seat belt held it back.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm.i was also able to regain some control of the car, which was completely off the road at this point in the event.the car was headed towards a small ravine located behind three trees.i steered the car to hit the tree instead of running into a small ravine.

The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left.as soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm and i was also able to regain some control of the car.i was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car.as the car was about to go off the road, i was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.the alabama state trooper who came and tried to assist me was very unfriendly and appeared to have a uncooperative attitude.the adrenaline rush took over me, causing me to jump up and down and make my wallet fall out of my pocket. It fell into a pile of leaves, which were the same color of the wallet (light leather brown).long story short, the officer gave me a citation for not having my license with me when i was driving, but i did and he refused to take away the citation.the officer also said that he would write me up for reckless driving, which i would not understand why he would do that, if the rear brakes locked up in my car.

Front right axle boot leaks grease to the control arm suspension causing the vehicle to be un stable/vibration puts me in fear. Dealership does not want to do anything about it. I am very scared. The vehicle is in motion
I contacted toyota regarding a previous nhtsa case involving the vehicle line just prior to mine (2010).for that line, toyota issued an extended warranty to repair the vehicles.however, they are refusing to cover my vehicle for the exact same issue.i am attaching my letter to toyota.my inquiry to them is [xxx] and case# [xxx] (with hq).the attached letter documents my case.i thought the dealer's brake work had caused the problem, but it seems that it's just a faulty module in the vehicle.now, it is disabled, rendering my vehicle unsafe to drive in hazardous conditions.the cost amounts to almost the value of my vehicle.since my vehicle has been dealer-maintained, it's immaculate and i had not intended to trade it in. I had actually considered purchasing a new camry until this situation came up.i have lost all faith in toyota for their refusal to assist.i hope that by notifying nhtsa and making others aware, this will be brought to light and addressed. Since it's not something that you would know about until you encounter the problem, there are no telling how many others are driving vehicles that are affected, including my 25-year old son who drives a 2011 le model (vin [xxx]). I do pray that our model year can be added to the incident for extended warranty and repair. Thank you for your assistance.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Traveling on a state road during a slight snow event.the road was partially snow covered but treated and not overly slippery.the car suddenly veered to the left and went out of control.during this time the traction control light came on and stayed on while making the car unresponsive to attempts to steer the car.hit a fence doing minor damage to car and fence. After the crash drove the car at a low speed to home.car was very difficult to keep on road and traction control light stayed on continually. At home once the car was placed on dry garage floor and backed up it made a loud thud noise and then seemed to respond normally.this lasted only for two tenths of mile then light came back on and car control became erratic again.put back in garage awaiting for insurance adjuster.now afraid to drive.
Wed am, nov. 12, 2014, i parked my 2011 toyota camry se 4cyl in an airport parking garage.weather was 31 f.when i returned from my trip the next evening, i started the car, organized some things for a minute to allow car heater to warm the vehicle while i sat.i then proceeded to back out of the parking space.temperature was in the 20s f.i noticed the car was sluggish so i pressed a bit more on the gas pedal, but the car failed to go faster.after slowly backing out far enough, i put the car in drive.despite reaching 2500+ rpm, the car would not increase speed.the speedometer stayed at 0 (zero) mph.i put on my flashers, and pulled, very slowly, to the right side of the garage lane, so as not to impede vehicle traffic.i continued to rev engine for 1 to 2 minutes.only after revving the engine multiple times did the car begin to slowly respond.this flaw is a significant concern and could endanger live(s).imagine if i am at a stop sign, awaiting to make a left turn on to a busy roadway.if my 2011 camry's fuel injector fails to respond as expected, thereby responding slowly to me pressing the gas pedal, then i envision the likelihood of being in a horrific side-impact collision.i will address this issue with the dealership tomorrow.winter is just beginning, and cold starts are going to be much more common (likely in much colder temps).i don't believe modern vehicles, with electronic fuel injection, should have this safety issue, or require much warm-up time.
My vehicle has no leaks, but the oil consumption is substantial. Has to add about 1 quart and a half every 700 miles.
Engine oil consumption is unbelievable high. Every 400 miles engine oil vanished

I was driving east on secondary road when a driver failed to stop and hit my car; first impact hit at my drivers side at front left of car then also she hit theleft back side ofmy car which swung around at impact. Driver stated she didn't see my car. She was ticketed at fault and both of us were transported to hospital. My car's airbags did not deploy at all, not even the side impact bags! i hit my head on either the window or the upper door and sustained a hematoma on my top left skull and possibleconcussion as well as neck and back injuries. My vehicle was declared a total loss. A toyota official told me later that from everythinghe knows, the airbags shouldhave deployed in this instance,

The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil requiring the contact to add a quart of oil every 3,000 miles. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the exhaust and the brakes needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the torque converter needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer for the third time where it was diagnosed with needing a tune up and an oil change. The vehicle was repaired and the failure persisted. The contact wanted a second opinion so she took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the engine needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 149,255.
I rear-ended the car in front of me at speed 60 mph. My entire front end was destroyed. None of the airbags were deployed. Me and my passenger were wearing seatbelts. We had a lot of chest pain around the incident.
Every time i release or push acceleration more than 50 miles car gets pulse.(example : generator move forward and backward every time piston goes up and down) i fell like engine will drop. Reproduce steps : drive car at about 60 miles/hr on good road so you can feel pulse. Now we want keep speed 60 miles so we will press pedal to maintain speed now as soon as you will remove pedal you will feel pulse. Now, you removed pedal so speed going down so as soon as you trying to maintain speed you will fell pulse again. Reproduce rate about 85%. I am having this problem since august 2011. I had put my car at toyota dealer more than 5 times and they admit that they are not feeling this pulse. Than i put case to ncds for review. But toyota reset my computer right before inspection so ncds person didn't test drive and refuse my case. At time of case, one technician from chicago admit this problem in some different direction like this pulse is normal(which is very scary). Its depend on where you driving (its easy to reproduce in hwy, i also feel in city to but they told me that its changing gear so it's normal) its depend on driver( i told him to drive and fix this issue if i am not good driver). Now this is very simple answer for toyota to give you customer and reject case. Once they reset computer of my car they told me to wait till car computer learn driver pattern. I wait 2month , 1500 miles. I also ask them that how long ? how many miles ? but they told me that it's depend on driver. They also told me that if anything wring we will happy to help if anything wrong in engine/transmission. I also decide to go court but if they are going to inspect my car again then they will admit that nothing happened. So, please help me for this problem i spend 24000 dollar. I deserver better answer than this above crazy answer.
When driving my 2011 toyota camry, the engine shudders upon acceleration between 20 and 50 miles per hour. I know that there is a recall for this exact same for the 2012 camry and later, with this issue, but not in my model year. This occurs every time i drive it. What gives?
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the vehicle began to shake. Brown's toyota of glen burnie (7167 ritchie highway, glen burnie, md 21061) diagnosed that the valve cover fractured and damaged the vvt gears and the timing chain. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not covered under the power train warranty. The failure mileage was 84,500.

Incident on december 31, 2014 about 11:30 am in wayne, pa: at an intersection as i approached a stop sign where a car was already stopped, i applied my brakes. The car failed to stop and instead lurched forward and the engine increased. The noise was not of the brakes but of the engine roaring. As the car surged forward,i lifted my foot off of the brakes and then reapplied them pressure on the brakes. Again the car did not stop but did slow down. The third application of the brakes did stop the car just inches from the car ahead of me. The next incident occurred on january 13, 2015 when the same experience occurred. I took it to peruzzi toyota. They could not find anything wrong with the brakes. On january 15, i took the unsafe car back to the dealership for further investigation. On january 16 after completing what they called the protocol for unintended acceleration, they "released the car" back to me having not corrected the problem. They indicated they had no further responsibility and gave me the toyota manufacturer phone number to call. I called that number and was told a case manager would get back to me in four days. Meanwhile, i am left with an unsafe car and no recourse with the dealership.
My camry is using excessive oil and it has the same engine number included in all the other complaints.i took my car in to have the oil consumption test done. No leaks were found, oil change was done and i was told to come back in a week.the first check up oil was added by the technician (ii was not told how much) and i was asked to return in 1000 miles. I was told to add oil if needed.when i returned for this check,up, i let them know that i had to add a quart of oilbetween the check ups.when the csr returned he said we were all set.the amount of oil being consumed was "within the parameters ".i know this is not correct!they say nothing is to be done.i can hear the tapping noises from the pistons in my engine about every 3 days of driving because of the lack of oil.my car looses power and starts acting sluggish etc...this is damaging my vehicle!i have taken excellent care of my car.i hought it brand new. Oil changed on time along with all suggested maintenance.please investigate these complaints onthis toyota' engine.by 2011 this problem should have already been corrected.now i see that some of the cars have been fixed while others have not been.if all have the same problem,toyota needs to be held accountable. My car's value is lower due to this problem and i will have to keep adding 3-4 quarts of oil between oil changes (@ $13 00 a quart) as i cannot afford to purchase another at this time.
My vehicle has been using excessive oil last 2 yearsit has 78000 milesi took it to mechanic and was told this is a problem with toyota enginesi contacted toyota and was told there was a service bulletin issued for certain years but mine was not. I explained that my 2.5l (2ar fe) engine has the same problem as those that were flagged for repairstoyota refuses to address my problem as it is not under warranty. I was told that the defective piston problem has been resolvedi am asking for any help or information you may have on this issue thank you
Car always makes a whining sound that gets louder upon acceleration,vehicle is impossible to keep in my lane especially at highway speeds, constant correcting needed to stay out of oncoming traffic or out of the lane left of me as car veers to the left. Cars has a transmission issue that causes jerking and slippage which also causes the car out of its lane.
My car is burning too much oil . I asked my mechanic he told me there is problem of all 2011 toyota ( it burning too much oil)
Very bad transmission issues.transmission in lower gears have major issues. Shifts very hard and late.
Vehicle is using 1 quart of oil every 1200 miles or so.toyota has a bullentin out on this issue but they are telling me it does not cover my vehicle.added 1 quart at 100,500 miles.came in for check up and it was a quart low at 101,700 miles, see attached upload for service receipt.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the ecm needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred multiple times. Nalley toyota of roswell (11130 alpharetta hwy, roswell, ga 30076, (866)-266-3809) was contacted and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.
I was driving down 15th street headed to mcalister's on july 9, 2018. It was raining really hard. I was in the lane closest to central and monish park. When i came up on checkers the water was extremely high and proceeded to cover the front part of my hood. I drove through it and reached my destination. I noticed the next day that my air was not blowing out cold, but warm air. My horn sounded really funny when it was blown. I figured water must have affected it because my car was fine before then. I got my car checked out only to find out that both cooling fans had detached away from the motor.
Every morning when the vehicle is first started up and both the engine and transmission are cold, vehicle exhibits a transmission flare between the first and second gear during normal driving behavior whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed - even if only slightly.during the incident, which lasts no more than five seconds, the engine "revs" significantly (up to 2500-3000 rpm from 1000) and the transmission appears to be in a "neutral" state, e.g. "slipping" between gears.the vehicle also jerks and shifts violently while downshifting when coasting occurs mainly at highway speeds, but does occur sometimes at neighborhood speeds.the former said issue only appears during the morning after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time (i.e. Come home from work and leave next morning), and is unable to be duplicated at any other time.on the other hand, the latter said issue occurs nearly every time the vehicle is used.the vehicle has been brought to the local toyota dealership where repair attempts have already been made, but have been unsuccessful.the vehicle will be brought back for service once again.it is important to note that these problems are very similar to earlier problems the 2007 camry experienced (which is the same generation as the 2011 camry) -- to which several tsbs were issued to correct those problems.

There was a loud engine running all of sudden and the car took off by itself. It was very quick spurt of acceleration and slamming on brake did not slow down the car. The car was totally uncontrollable. The car ran over side walk and rammed into the school fence. My car was totaled. It was toyota's "sudden acceleration" defect happened to me.
I have this jerking movement while i am driving down the highway. I mentioned this to the service people at hubert vester toyota in wilson, nc when i took the car for regular maintenance a few months ago. I don't know if they did anything about it or not, but it still does that today. I used 87 octane gas, but i did put 89 octane in there once and the problem slowed down a little. Can you tell me what this problem is? it sounds like a transmission problem to me. The dealership never lets me have any work done within the warranty, i always have to pay. So are they waiting for the warranty to wear off? also, i have not had all these recall issues taken care of concerning the tires, the overloading capacity issues.
Excessive oil consumption, it uses about 1qt every 1000miles. Car has had a meticulous maintenance schedule, oil and filter changes every 3000 miles.driven by a 65 year old woman
Very loud rattle when first started especially when cold. Even when it is idling after running for a while it still has a slight rattle just a lot quieter.
Drove down road keeping a constant 40-45mph.vehicle suddenly revs engine wildly to redline.car speed increases drastically to 65mph from 40-45mph.took foot off gas pedal and engine still accelerated.moments later engine went back to normal operating condition.
Catalytic converter problem with 2011 toyota camry with 31088 miles.
2011 camry with 3000 miles.going uphill, car seemed to stall-as if running out of gas.i let go of gas and car appeared to be ok.half a second later, i pressed the gas pedal and car stalled.dash lights came on, power steering no longer worked. I put car in neutral and tried to start it, would not start.came to a stop, removed key from ignition and then tried to start care.car started but sputtered at idle.car had 3/4 tank and check engine light never came on-other than when dash was lit up from stalling.took to dealer.ran diagnostics on it and said everything was ok.they were not able to duplicate issue.
My vehicle at below 40 mph, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though i press the gas pedal gently. This really bothers me during the rush hour because my both kids are in the back seat at that time.i have been to the toyota dealer but they said they couldn't reproduce the problem. Some one please, please please help me with this. It really bothers me after spending lot on money on this car, i can't even drive it safe and its really dangerous driving around the city with my family thinking about what will happen at the next stop light.
When i bought my car around september 15, 2011, i test driven one of their 2 camry models; xle & se. I was with a sales guy when we test drove it. I didn't go really fast so i didn't realize if there was any loud wind noise and also because the sales guy was telling me things. After i got it for about a wind, i started to actually drive it to work and everytime, i go about 50-80mph, i would hit loud wind noise coming it for somewhere. I bought the car to 4 different toyota service center and they agreed with me, but they told me that is how it was design, and that i should just turn the radio up loud and forget about it because there is no current fix on it. I am extremely paranoid person due to post problem when i got into a bad accident, so that is why i don't use my radio or even if i did, would turn it up so loud. I am hoping that yall could talk to toyota hq and get it fix because i might go crazy soon because i am sitting here waiting for a fix, but i don't hear or see anything about toyota planning to address this issue. And just to prove my point again, i went to go test drive the newer toyota camry models and they have the same exact problems. Please, i need you help. Thank you!!
I was in a line of cars in the take-out line at burger king waiting to place my order.the transmission was in drive and my right foot was on the brake pedal.the engine suddenly accelerated.i put my left foot also on the brake, but with both feet and all my strength felt the car going forward.so as not to strike the car in front of me, i turned sharply to the left and plowed into the curb, went over the curb, hit a large bush trunk, through the bust, mulch and another bust.the engine raced out of control and could not be held by the brake.
While traveling on route 78 west near bethlehem pa the oil light began to flicker.we pulled off the highway into a gm dealership.the mechanic said the oil was leaking out the oil filter and there was no oil on the dipstick. Now the engine is making a grinding sound when it is starting and other sounds.i'm afraid that we will have to be replaced the engine or the car.we have 3 years left on the car loan.the oil and filter were replaced 32,012 at sears.i have saved the failed oil filter.
During the period of august 17-27, i rented a 2011 toyota camry.i rented it from hertz at the denver international airport.on august 25, while traveling east on us 70, about 10 miles west of frisco, colorado, the car's engine stopped and the dash went blank, no warning or anything.this was very annoying for my passengers and me, going from 65-70 mph to -0- in a matter of seconds.fortunately i was able to pull on to the berm and out of the way of oncoming semis, most of whom were able to pull into the passing lane. I thought that maybe the car overheated as i had been driving for several hours with the ac on and the road is a mountainous road.i let the car cool for a few minutes, made sure the ac was off.i started the car and 'everything' came to life.i drove up the remainder of the hill, keeping the speed at approximately 55mph, down the next and started up when the same thing happened ' complete lack of power.again very annoying!!!after this last episode we called your office and were told to wait on the side of the road for a replacement. As we had a scheduled engagement in frisco, and a friend who could drive out 10 miles to pick us up, the agent told us to leave the car on the side of the road.the agent said a car would be delivered to our hotel in frisco.the car was delivered two and a half hours later.and one more thing.i am not sure but i think the brakes did not work the first stall time.i think the car started to roll backward before i got it from drive to park i was caught by surprise the first time and a little slow to react to the stall.the second time as soon as it stalled i pulled over to the side and put it into park.

Dash light intensity changes from very bright to very dim while driving, dealer states they can't reproduce.this problem is very distracting while driving. I have made a video on my phone to show them what is happening, the response is...... Yes there is a problem but we can't fix if we cant duplicate?

On the above date, as i prepared to park at the dollar general store, 200 brush creek hwy, alexandria, tn 37012, the vehicle jumped the curb went down in a ditch and collided with a parked church bus. The accelerator on this vehicle stuck and caused me to lose control of this vehicle. I had no control over the accelerator at the time of this accident.
Mynew car has a 'vor' lens which results in half the windshield darkened during low beam use. This 'ece' style lighting is totally distracting and i believe dangerous in a dark, rural setting. Motorists are refusing to 'beam down' when approachingsince they're uncomfortable with half the windshield dark! off the main roadway has it's problems when more than half the window becomes very dark, very quickly. Over use of high beams will have unintended consequences. Original sae lighting should be available for retrofit for the north american market.
New models of toyota passenger vehicles have excessively bright led tail/brake lights which can/will impair the vision of drivers in trailing automobiles, causing dangerous unbearable conditions.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while at a stop, the accelerator pedal was applied and the vehicle stalled while entering an intersection. The contact also stated that the abs and the traction warning lights illuminated.in addition, the vehicle abruptly accelerated when the accelerator pedal was applied with force.after the accelerator pedal was applied to the floorboard, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake light switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000. Updated 9/19/14 updated 02/12/2015
I was pulling into a parking space at a speed of approximately 10 mph when my toyota camry 2011 suddenly accelerated.i hit the brake immediately to stop the car's forward acceleration to avoid hitting a tree.the brake stopped the forward motion of the wheels with the car body lurching forward.
Upon stop and then the vehicle moves forward the fuel in the tank moves causing the baffle in the tank to make a banging happens in full tank fuel or 3/4th of the tank. Informed the dealer and no proper diagnose action responded.
I was driving into a parking area, idling forward so that i could back up and drop off my colleague at her house. I had my foot on the accelerator, barely idling forward, and all of a sudden the pedal was floored and the car was surging forward with a parked vehicle right in front of us. I jammed on the breaks, and immediately turned off the engine. Both the passenger and i were terrified. I went home, and will never drive that car again. I do not trust toyota to fix it or own up to what is really going on. The accelerator floored itself, and then stuck there. I could easily have killed a pedestrian, my passenger or myself.

Wed am, nov. 12, 2014, i parked my 2011 toyota camry se 4cyl in an airport parking garage.weather was 31 f.when i returned from my trip the next evening, i started the car, organized some things for a minute to allow car heater to warm the vehicle while i sat.i then proceeded to back out of the parking space.temperature was in the 20s f.i noticed the car was sluggish so i pressed a bit more on the gas pedal, but the car failed to go faster.after slowly backing out far enough, i put the car in drive.despite reaching 2500+ rpm, the car would not increase speed.the speedometer stayed at 0 (zero) mph.i put on my flashers, and pulled, very slowly, to the right side of the garage lane, so as not to impede vehicle traffic.i continued to rev engine for 1 to 2 minutes.only after revving the engine multiple times did the car begin to slowly respond.this flaw is a significant concern and could endanger live(s).imagine if i am at a stop sign, awaiting to make a left turn on to a busy roadway.if my 2011 camry's fuel injector fails to respond as expected, thereby responding slowly to me pressing the gas pedal, then i envision the likelihood of being in a horrific side-impact collision.i will address this issue with the dealership tomorrow.winter is just beginning, and cold starts are going to be much more common (likely in much colder temps).i don't believe modern vehicles, with electronic fuel injection, should have this safety issue, or require much warm-up time.
Execessive engine oil consumption. Everytime i change the engine oil it supposed to be going 5000 miles instead the oil goes very very low on 700 miles. I have to add two quart every after 700-800 miles.

I was driving west on flamingo just past the 95 exit.i was driving in the center lane, waiting for clearance to get into the turn lane.when i removed my foot from the break, the vehicle accelerated on its own.i was able to slam on the brake and stop immediately. I had dealer check it out -- plus a previous incident on sept 24, 2012 as well as another one on november 6, 2012.toyota denies that there is a problem, but it keeps happening.

Transmission issues.....while doing mostly city driving and in the first ten minutes of driving, transmission will not know what gear it wants to be in, there is a whiny noise associated with it also (never heard this before in the toyota's i have owned).while at a complete stop the vehicle will almost die to conserve fuel.when you go to start back up the vehicle will do this gear "checking" process leading to the vehicle not moving as it should.once it finds the correct gear the car will lunge very quickly and almost create rear end collisions.i have two intersections near my home that i am afraid to come to because i have to floor the gas and step on the brake pedal so the car does not stall and so that the car will make it across the intersection without getting t-boned.i almost got t-boned twice due to this the last happening on 6-30-12.this issue is a 6-15 mph issue and when cold more than warmed up.i read that this issue is not an issue but a learning transmission and that it tries to learn operators.with 21,000 miles a car should not be learning and what if a different operator drives it? the car will jerk me around while on my 8 mile jaunt to the highway in the mornings.once on the highway this is a non-issue.i called toyota and they have not issued a recall but i have read of many other terrified toyota 2011 and 2010 camry owners that have called them and several have contacted your organization.there is a tsb (technical service bulletin)0287-10 out for the learning of this transmission but it has not help my situation or others from what i read.(updated transmission software)i will not allow my wife or children in this car.i even took the keys with me once while away on business so she would not forget and drive it.

New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down.upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work.as i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident.the road was not wet but it had rained earlier in the day and the road was dry. I returned vehicle to dealer and was told they could not repeat the situation and everything was okay.they told me that even if the road is dry once it rains, the road can still have particles on it that cause the abs to kick in. This continued to happen intermittently about once a month.in the past month, it has happened every few days.my son was driving the car in late feb. And he went over a very small pile of leaves that would not warrant the abs to kick in.he too was almost involved in a wreck.car went back to dealer but dealer can find what was wrong. The abs severely reacts when it should not be doing so.the abs is engaging when it should not be doing so.if one goes over a road that is barely wet or a small patch of drive leaves, as i did the other night, the abs kicks in and locks up the car. When i touch on the breaks lightly coming to a stop, there are no breaks and then they suddenly grab really hard.breaks feel like air is in the line.this did not occur until they put new breaks in my car at 30,000 miles.in addition, the transmission is whining, shifting roughly and not shifting when it is supposed to.my vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week and they said they will be keeping it at least until this coming wed. When a toyota field inspector will be coming to inspect the car.
Upon doing research, i've noticed there are several complaints concerning the transmission on this vehicle. When my wife and i first bought the vehicle, i noticed the the vehicle would hesitate when shifting gears. Sometimes when i would drive the vehicle, it would rev up very quickly before it changed out. Just recently, it begun to rev up more often before it shifted gears. It did that for a few days before it wouldn't shift gears at all after 40mph.then ultimately, it wouldn't change gears at all. My vehicle has under 134,000 miles on it and it appears the transmission has burned out on it. After analyzing the reviews concerning this issue,i feel it is fair to say that toyota has sold its consumer an inferior product. I, as a consumer, really wish toyota would consider this issue because this is a major expense at the hands of the consumer. I, being a lower class working man, really went through a lot to obtain the money to cover this expense. You probably can tell because i'm taking the time to fill out this form. That's only because i really feel this is an unfair situation to the consumer. My wife and i paid a decent penny for our 2011 toyota camry. It is less than six years old and already has a major mechanical issue. I really hope toyota considers some form of reimbursement for the consumer. I pray my words won't fall on deaf ears. Thanks.
Oil consumption.drive car a lot of shaking vibration.turn on ac an engine noise.when load is put.transmission rpm aroundv40mph to 45mph weird vibration and hesitation.this car engine and transmission not good
Every time i release or push acceleration more than 50 miles car gets pulse.(example : generator move forward and backward every time piston goes up and down) i fell like engine will drop. Reproduce steps : drive car at about 60 miles/hr on good road so you can feel pulse. Now we want keep speed 60 miles so we will press pedal to maintain speed now as soon as you will remove pedal you will feel pulse. Now, you removed pedal so speed going down so as soon as you trying to maintain speed you will fell pulse again. Reproduce rate about 85%. I am having this problem since august 2011. I had put my car at toyota dealer more than 5 times and they admit that they are not feeling this pulse. Than i put case to ncds for review. But toyota reset my computer right before inspection so ncds person didn't test drive and refuse my case. At time of case, one technician from chicago admit this problem in some different direction like this pulse is normal(which is very scary). Its depend on where you driving (its easy to reproduce in hwy, i also feel in city to but they told me that its changing gear so it's normal) its depend on driver( i told him to drive and fix this issue if i am not good driver). Now this is very simple answer for toyota to give you customer and reject case. Once they reset computer of my car they told me to wait till car computer learn driver pattern. I wait 2month , 1500 miles. I also ask them that how long ? how many miles ? but they told me that it's depend on driver. They also told me that if anything wring we will happy to help if anything wrong in engine/transmission. I also decide to go court but if they are going to inspect my car again then they will admit that nothing happened. So, please help me for this problem i spend 24000 dollar. I deserver better answer than this above crazy answer.
Have a 2011 camry 4cy with 6sp at. The car transmission shifts rough and car rpm suddenly goes around 3k in stop a go driving. While coming to stop the car release the gear at very late while almost stopped. Feels like it will jerk and hit other car. On cold start the car transmission does not like to move(unless you warm up the engine which takes 15min idling. Then i am not sure how this care pass epe pollution standard ). So while getting into road the car needs high revving to move. Took it to the dealer and they say its behaving normal and could not reproduce the problem. Took to another dealer and they give the same "normal" answer. Filed a complain to toyota. Their explanation is field technician (toyota dealer) said its normal and no issue so its normal. As a owner of such vehicle i personally think the transmission behave abnormal and unsafe. Also the car has a whining noise most noticeable around 2-2.5k rpm. 1 st dealer said all camry of this model makes such noise. 2nd dealer said its from the transmission. Nhtsa should investigate and make sure toyota is not trying to avoid any potential defect which will cause a life threatening accident.
2011 camry le - the vehicle doesn't seem to know what gear it wants to be in after a stop light or stop sign.i can press the gas pedal and the car minimally responds, slowly moving and then suddenly going as if the transmission is slipping.if i drive it like i stole off ever stop sign/stop light it would do alright but you really have to stomp it off the light and i don't drive that way.again the transmission is messed up and toyota doesn't acknowledge it!also, on the highway at approx 70-75 and letting off the gas the car has a shudder which is unsettling while on the highway....sometimes i expect the engine to die or the transmission fall out.i have called toyota and had the car serviced by the service manager, service dept etc without any resolution.i would have thought a transmission flush would be the first thing but they have never done that!!the dealership cleaned my throttle body sensor??? (why?), synced my computer multiple times and then the service manager said it could be a "computer" issue much like the old corollas and i just need to get use to it. I'm done with toyota, this is my second one and both of them had issues that were never resolved!
Ever since i bought the car (4 cyl., xle) a year ago:automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up;it coasts a few inches after i put it into park, even on level ground.power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces.cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem.dealer's service dept. Claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design.
My vehicle at below 40 mph, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though i press the gas pedal gently. This really bothers me during the rush hour because my both kids are in the back seat at that time.i have been to the toyota dealer but they said they couldn't reproduce the problem. Some one please, please please help me with this. It really bothers me after spending lot on money on this car, i can't even drive it safe and its really dangerous driving around the city with my family thinking about what will happen at the next stop light.
My car has been experiencing hard shifts when switching gears and sometimes going idle during gear shifts. I've taken it to the toyota dealer several times and they can never replicate the issue. I took my car in for service a few days ago and they didn't notice a transmission leak that another third party mechanic did. Makes me wonder they are trying to avoid accountability here. The third party mechanic told me that his car had the same issue and he had to fight for toyota to fix the issue. There are a lot of people having this transmission gear issue and it should be resolved by toyota immediately. This can cause major issues which would cause the consumer a lot of money.
When first starting out with cold engine, stopping for traffic light, cars transmission does not fully engage properly.when leaving intersection, accelerating the engine, the carwill creep very slowly for about 50 feet or so, then seems to slowly engage as it normally should.after car is warm, it seems to run fine for the rest of the day.this obviously irritates cars behind me, but even more so, creates a dangerous situation.driving on today's highways is dangerous enough.i'd hate to have this happen, if i should ever need acceleration to avoid an accident in the making???
Started car in morning and it was making winding noise, left and noticed the tranny did not know what gear to be in , when i would stop it the tranny could not down shift fast enough and itwould bang down in gear, and the speed odometer would jump up as it was shifting down, you have to keep your foot on the brake or it will jump forward,it has snowed a few times since and you can not drive it in the snow at all, it lurches at slow speeds and you have to keep your foot on break , it drives it self and keeps shifting up and down it is a death trap waiting to happen, other people have drove it and the same issues , i have put a 1000 miles on it and i hate it, my 1998 camryis safer to drive then this car, never a toyota again , only made 1 payment and ready to trade in and take a loss, thanks toyota
The contact owned a 2011 toyota camry. While the contact's wife was attempting to drive the vehicle in reverse, it spontaneously accelerated and crashed into a stone wall. The driver sustained injuries to her wrist and ribs, which required medical attention. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot and deemed destroyed by the insurance company. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 1909121131. The manufacturer retrieved the data recorder box. The failure mileage was 47,000.
Transmission will appear to disengage between 2nd and 3rd gear when first starting off in cold or after setting for long periods (9-10 hrs.). Starting from a dead stop the car will feel and appear to start off normally, then the transmission will disengage, and the rpms will shoot up if you do not take you foot off of the accelerator. After releasing the accelerator the transmission will engage and continue on normally. This is not constant or every time. This has been aproblem since 3,000 mile - current mileage 87,000. Dealer can not resolve the issue or duplicate. I have duplicated it for them once during the cold weather when the vehicle was left with them for repairs and testing.
The clutch just totally stopped working had to push the for about 2 miles to a safe location.then had to have it towed step on clutch pedal and doesn't engage put car into gear and step on gas just revs and nothing
My 2011 camryhas 55k miles and having hard transmission shifts. Specially when coming to stop there a lag in rpm and transmissionmoves therefore, car feels like a punch in transmission. This could be dangerous in emergency stops because car doesn't want to stop. Also, when accelerating car let you feel changing gears. I hope nhtsa will raise our voice to toyota. Thank you
Car shudders at 35 to 40 mph.if i speed up no problem.i heard it could be torque converter. I am not a mechanic but i told dealer and they never did anything.i also turn on ac an engine noise. They told me is wear an tear.car is in good condition just those issues. I am original owner my car was also in accident but dealer fixed it and never told me about the issue. Dorschel group rochester ny.is very upsetting that a car i paid over 25000$ is doing this and no recalls
I am having transmission problems with my camry. It has 66000 miles on it. When the car accelerates it jerks when shifting gears. When it comes to a stop it shifts hard. I noticed when the car comes to a stop the rpm goes up little bit.
I was driving to work on the interstate and i noticed that i could no longer drive past 45 mph on the interstate where speed limit is 60mph.i then was able thank god to get off interstate and exit to side street.i noticed immediately that my vehicle would not go past 3rd gear and speed would only accelerate to 45mph.i made appointment the same day to get car looked atbob howard toyota.later that day it was confirmed that my transmission was gone(bad) .i am informed that this is a manufacturingproblem and it is my expectationto have this resolved asap at toyota corporation expense as well as providing me transportation at their expense not mine!i also had my vehicle serviced approximately 4-6 weeks ago and i do not recall being informed of any problems with the transmission/power train system.

The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when i accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11.. A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. So i took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge melike $800. What can i do??
When accelerating the vehicle's rpm rev, hesitation and then the vehicle speeds up once transmission engages with the engine. The vehicle accelerates at a high speed. This has happened over the last three months on an incline, 1.0 grade while merging onto the freeway. On flat surfaces, this does not occur.no warning indicator light to indicate there was an issue. The last time the hesitation happened i was traveling at 50 mph to gain speed to merge onto the freeway. The vehicles rpm was between 5-6 and the transmission would not engage however it did move forward and allowed me to pull off to the shoulder.at this time there is no invoice. We have a verbal estimation of $4,000 for the transmission, center city automotive in davis, ca.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the gear shift moved into another gear when it was inadvertently bumped by the contact. The failure occurred on numerous occasions.

Im really unhappy with this car its just 1 thing after another first had the noisy moon roof issue and finally got it fixed by bringing in the tsb so it could not be denied, now i have a noisy power steering pump that whine very loud but was told that its normal (what a crock). Currently my car is shifting hard on take off and decreasing speed to stop. Toyota has really gone down. I traded a 2000 camry xle that was better than this newer model.
My camry is using excessive oil and it has the same engine number included in all the other complaints.i took my car in to have the oil consumption test done. No leaks were found, oil change was done and i was told to come back in a week.the first check up oil was added by the technician (ii was not told how much) and i was asked to return in 1000 miles. I was told to add oil if needed.when i returned for this check,up, i let them know that i had to add a quart of oilbetween the check ups.when the csr returned he said we were all set.the amount of oil being consumed was "within the parameters ".i know this is not correct!they say nothing is to be done.i can hear the tapping noises from the pistons in my engine about every 3 days of driving because of the lack of oil.my car looses power and starts acting sluggish etc...this is damaging my vehicle!i have taken excellent care of my car.i hought it brand new. Oil changed on time along with all suggested maintenance.please investigate these complaints onthis toyota' engine.by 2011 this problem should have already been corrected.now i see that some of the cars have been fixed while others have not been.if all have the same problem,toyota needs to be held accountable. My car's value is lower due to this problem and i will have to keep adding 3-4 quarts of oil between oil changes (@ $13 00 a quart) as i cannot afford to purchase another at this time.
Seat cloth broke driver..vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away.. Turn a.c. And knocking noise.clunking noise on suspension since i bought the car dealer never did anything.now in may this year i experience vibration when i accelerate around 40mph.crazy annoying issue.paid to muchmoney.car looks new but a lot of issues.i don't even think airbags work.accident and didn't come out.crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.
I have had complications not only with visor on drivers side but also the their is a clunking weirdnoise from the suspension. If turn on heat or touch radio the lights on dash flash. I also when trying to accelerate their is no power.
Transmission issues.....while doing mostly city driving and in the first ten minutes of driving, transmission will not know what gear it wants to be in, there is a whiny noise associated with it also (never heard this before in the toyota's i have owned).while at a complete stop the vehicle will almost die to conserve fuel.when you go to start back up the vehicle will do this gear "checking" process leading to the vehicle not moving as it should.once it finds the correct gear the car will lunge very quickly and almost create rear end collisions.i have two intersections near my home that i am afraid to come to because i have to floor the gas and step on the brake pedal so the car does not stall and so that the car will make it across the intersection without getting t-boned.i almost got t-boned twice due to this the last happening on 6-30-12.this issue is a 6-15 mph issue and when cold more than warmed up.i read that this issue is not an issue but a learning transmission and that it tries to learn operators.with 21,000 miles a car should not be learning and what if a different operator drives it? the car will jerk me around while on my 8 mile jaunt to the highway in the mornings.once on the highway this is a non-issue.i called toyota and they have not issued a recall but i have read of many other terrified toyota 2011 and 2010 camry owners that have called them and several have contacted your organization.there is a tsb (technical service bulletin)0287-10 out for the learning of this transmission but it has not help my situation or others from what i read.(updated transmission software)i will not allow my wife or children in this car.i even took the keys with me once while away on business so she would not forget and drive it.
Every morning when the vehicle is first started up and both the engine and transmission are cold, vehicle exhibits a transmission flare between the first and second gear during normal driving behavior whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed - even if only slightly.during the incident, which lasts no more than five seconds, the engine "revs" significantly (up to 2500-3000 rpm from 1000) and the transmission appears to be in a "neutral" state, e.g. "slipping" between gears.the vehicle also jerks and shifts violently while downshifting when coasting occurs mainly at highway speeds, but does occur sometimes at neighborhood speeds.the former said issue only appears during the morning after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time (i.e. Come home from work and leave next morning), and is unable to be duplicated at any other time.on the other hand, the latter said issue occurs nearly every time the vehicle is used.the vehicle has been brought to the local toyota dealership where repair attempts have already been made, but have been unsuccessful.the vehicle will be brought back for service once again.it is important to note that these problems are very similar to earlier problems the 2007 camry experienced (which is the same generation as the 2011 camry) -- to which several tsbs were issued to correct those problems.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the transmission began leaking fluid and the vehicle became inoperable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to the dealer for repairs. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that the transmission was cracked from a stone and that the vehicle would have to be repaired at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 19,000.
Soon after i bought this brand new 2011 camry the car started acting weird. A constant problem that appear a lot of time when i am driving concerns the transmission. At low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The thing that concerns me and my wife the most is that the car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, although we both press the gas pedal really gently. This mostly happens at low speeds when we are driving in the city where heavy traffic might be present. This is making both of us very concerned about our safety. We are concerned to the point that we both stopped driving the car unless we really have to, we rely on our second car which is a bmw. One other issue is that the car feels like it is going to stall when i release my foot from the acceleration. This happens at both slow speeds and high speeds.
I am writing about my toyota camry 2011.i have a manual transmission that has failed now for the third time. I am presently driving but yes if it fails again it could be a safety issue if im caught in the middle of a very busy highway and it fails again. I just wanted you to be aware.also something totally unrelated is i would suggest every seat belt in any vehicle be a fluorescent orange so it isvery obvious to everyone that you are not wearing your seat belt. This would help the police and anyone else in an accident or otherwise. I am just making the suggestion hoping someone will change this.

Accident description: on august 7, 2011, i got in my car to back out of the driveway. I stopped the car approximately 30 feet from a closed gate by stepping on the brake and shifted the vehicle into park. With the car stopped and in park, i opened my door and exited the vehicle, leaving the door open. I walked 25 feet from my car to the gate and opened it. When i turned to attend to the other side of the gate, i saw the car was overtaking me, going in reverse. I was struck by the driver's door and got trapped underneath. The vehicle continued across the street in reverse.
I was sitting in the car with my twin 2yrs old daughters when i heard a sound; i looked only to see that one of the baby pull the gear stick out of park, into drive and the keys were in my pocket! i knew that wasn't suppose to happen. I called darcars toyota, and the manager [xxx] told me "that shouldn't have happened and that the "gear box is bad", i need to bring the car in so they could take a look at it. I brought the car in on 10/03/2014 at about 7:10am, and left the lot at about 9:30am after going back and forth with the horrible service both from the manager [xxx] and the rep. "[xxx]" i was told that even though it's a safety issue, and they told me something was wrong, they would not do anything about the problem unless i pay for them to do what they already know; which is that there is something wrong with the gear stick! i may be the 1st person to complain about this problem, however, this is why with all the recalls, it seems as if someone has to die in an accident before these people take responsibilities for their defaulted vehicles!!please look into this matter for me as it is very important.thanks in advance sincerely information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. This problem is very consistent among other owners in forums i have reviewed. It needs to be addressed and fixed.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, he depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral, shut off and restarted the engine. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 8200 and the current mileage was 8260. The vin was not available.
Transmission whines at low speeds, very annoying. It slips between 1st & 2nd gear. Down shifts rough.something bumps around trunk when taking off & stopping. Dealer tells me that all this is normal. I willnever buy another toyota ever. My advise to others, don't buy 2011 camry, you'll be sorry.
2011 camry with 27,373 miles entered traffic on fwy at 50+ mph started to shimmy violently engulfing me from all sides it was if car was possessed. In my 61 years i have never experienced anything like this. The radio cut out i felt pressure waves and noise throughout the car. I found a gas station just off fwy and checked the tires since that seemed the logical culprit, i found nothing unusual. To get home i had to drive about another 20 fwy miles keeping car at or under 60. I arrived at dealer and waited 3 1/2 hours before being shown possible problem. All 4 tires had what he referred to as "cupping," on the inside rim. That would explain the entire car turning into a freak-show like nothing i ever experienced. Their solution was to charge me for 4 new tires at retail. Mechanic said tires looked good and had 20,000 plus miles left. Why should i have to replace, (in my opinion), defected tires. Tires were not out of alignment if they were then the dealership is at fault since they did it. I examined all 4 tires in the bay while it was jacked up, no excessive wear showed. Who do i see that will take responsibility? these are bridgestone tires i thought were a solid brand. I went online to see if anyone had similar problems and found several. What would have happened to me if those 4 tires decided the pressure was too much and blew simultaneously, probably a hideous death!? wife drives the car it hers. She has had nothing but problems with transmission. She can't shift into gear until vehicle is warmed up and even then it is stiff and noisy. On a hill there was no grab it was if the car had no stop it literally took both feet one on brake other revving engine to keep from backing into a truck.
Wed am, nov. 12, 2014, i parked my 2011 toyota camry se 4cyl in an airport parking garage.weather was 31 f.when i returned from my trip the next evening, i started the car, organized some things for a minute to allow car heater to warm the vehicle while i sat.i then proceeded to back out of the parking space.temperature was in the 20s f.i noticed the car was sluggish so i pressed a bit more on the gas pedal, but the car failed to go faster.after slowly backing out far enough, i put the car in drive.despite reaching 2500+ rpm, the car would not increase speed.the speedometer stayed at 0 (zero) mph.i put on my flashers, and pulled, very slowly, to the right side of the garage lane, so as not to impede vehicle traffic.i continued to rev engine for 1 to 2 minutes.only after revving the engine multiple times did the car begin to slowly respond.this flaw is a significant concern and could endanger live(s).imagine if i am at a stop sign, awaiting to make a left turn on to a busy roadway.if my 2011 camry's fuel injector fails to respond as expected, thereby responding slowly to me pressing the gas pedal, then i envision the likelihood of being in a horrific side-impact collision.i will address this issue with the dealership tomorrow.winter is just beginning, and cold starts are going to be much more common (likely in much colder temps).i don't believe modern vehicles, with electronic fuel injection, should have this safety issue, or require much warm-up time.
At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that i have seen on interstate, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very bad. The car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredictable jumping behavior. Well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing..........this problem have happened since i bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. I have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but i have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until i bought this camry. After reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. This problem needs immediate attentions.
2011 toyota camry. Consumer states unintended shift into neutral *tgwthe consumer stated she was able to pull over to the side of the road and the shift the gear back into drive.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact was driving 5 mph when a water bottle that was on the console hit the gear shift and the vehicle shifted into reverse. The vehicle never moved backward but exhibited a very loud, abnormal sound. The contact applied the brakes and attempted to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired for the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 6,999.
My 2011 toyota camry doesn't shift seamlessly as to what toyota is claiming.it's been very annoying.brought back to the dealer and they claim there is nothing wrong with it even though the master technician in pitts toyota dublin ga admits that its not suppose to shift seamless.totally contrasting comment.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry le. The contact stated that when the vehicle was on an incline, sometimes it would roll backwards rapidly. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled backwards as if it had a manual transmission. The dealer tested the vehicle as well as an additional vehicle and since the failure was identical the dealer they determined that it was normal. The contact was concerned since that was unsafe and caused her to apply the brake and the accelerator pedal at the same time. The failure mileage was 8 and the current mileage was 3,400.updated 04/28/11
2011 toyota camry le, under 3,000 miles on car, sluggish drive as though i am pulling a trailor or something behind the car.vehicle jerking in and out of gears.loud thump sound twice from underneath the car as though something broke. In additon to the car at a stop sign brake engaged and car jerked forward. Proceeded home and parked car and proceeded to exit car and the vehicle accelerated forwrd. As i turn to see if the car was not in the park postionit was and i am terrified to have this car at home my daughter was in the area a few minutes before and she would have been hit by the car if she was still there. I have filed a complaint with toyota and took back to dealership for them to take a look, and the only thing they can do is try and recreate the problem if it does not do the same thing when they try and recreate it then it will be closed and deems not an isssue. This is an issue and i do not feel safe with what happend.
Experienced a coarse shifting of transmission during upshift and downshift especially around 20 mph and between 35-37mph. On more than once occasion i have experienced a loud thump noise coming from the transmission as the car is slowing down and is in process of downshifting around 20mph. Other times similar behavior has occurred at speeds of 35-37mph.
Very harsh/coarse shifting of transmission during upshift and downshift especially around 20mph and between 35-39mph. Also on more than one occasion a loud thumping sound has been heard coming from the transmission as the car is slowing down and is in process of downshifting around 20mph.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that whenever striking the gear selector, the gear shifter would erroneously shift into neutral because the gear selector was not designed with a switch to engage. The failure recurred twice while driving at various speeds.in addition, the size and length of the front driver side head rest significantly obstructed the visibility of the driver. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The failure mileage was 7,000.

Drivers seat started to go up and down when going over humps in road and body weight was transferred up. You could feel the threads from a bolt were rubbing on a metal part. Within a week the travel had more than doubled and was happening while getting in and out. Brought into dealer for safety concern and warranty (car only 2 1/2 yrs old) and they said they pushed and pulled and it snapped back into place. I was then advised there was a $58.50 charge for an "adjustment". The dealer would not release the car without payment so i signed off and paid to get the keys. I called toyota but they stated the dealer was independent and they could not make them reimburse me. Toyota offered me a jacket or a duffel bag, which i refused.
The new forward angle of the headrests force your head to be against the headrest at all times while driving. This makes it difficult to look side to side, forces your head forward so you are looking down rather than out the windshield and puts a strain on the back. It's very distracting which puts you at risk of an accident.
Oil consumption.drive car a lot of shaking vibration.turn on ac an engine noise.when load is put.transmission rpm aroundv40mph to 45mph weird vibration and hesitation.this car engine and transmission not good
I noticed a 3 inch burn mark on my passenger side seat.i thought my car had been vandalized.however, today when i got in the car i noticed another burn area next to the other one and there was an odor of something burning in the car.i concerned that it is the air bag sensor in the seat which is shorting out and could cause a fire.this was occurring when the vehicle was parked and off.
Seat cloth broke driver..vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away.. Turn a.c. And knocking noise.clunking noise on suspension since i bought the car dealer never did anything.now in may this year i experience vibration when i accelerate around 40mph.crazy annoying issue.paid to muchmoney.car looks new but a lot of issues.i don't even think airbags work.accident and didn't come out.crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.
As i am checking my credit report i decided to look at the vehicle report an i see recalls that i never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now i hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as i stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as i have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but i was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, i had taken my vehicle to several toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see t find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as i was on the freeway i had to get off immediately.

Every time i release or push acceleration more than 50 miles car gets pulse.(example : generator move forward and backward every time piston goes up and down) i fell like engine will drop. Reproduce steps : drive car at about 60 miles/hr on good road so you can feel pulse. Now we want keep speed 60 miles so we will press pedal to maintain speed now as soon as you will remove pedal you will feel pulse. Now, you removed pedal so speed going down so as soon as you trying to maintain speed you will fell pulse again. Reproduce rate about 85%. I am having this problem since august 2011. I had put my car at toyota dealer more than 5 times and they admit that they are not feeling this pulse. Than i put case to ncds for review. But toyota reset my computer right before inspection so ncds person didn't test drive and refuse my case. At time of case, one technician from chicago admit this problem in some different direction like this pulse is normal(which is very scary). Its depend on where you driving (its easy to reproduce in hwy, i also feel in city to but they told me that its changing gear so it's normal) its depend on driver( i told him to drive and fix this issue if i am not good driver). Now this is very simple answer for toyota to give you customer and reject case. Once they reset computer of my car they told me to wait till car computer learn driver pattern. I wait 2month , 1500 miles. I also ask them that how long ? how many miles ? but they told me that it's depend on driver. They also told me that if anything wring we will happy to help if anything wrong in engine/transmission. I also decide to go court but if they are going to inspect my car again then they will admit that nothing happened. So, please help me for this problem i spend 24000 dollar. I deserver better answer than this above crazy answer.
The brakes were making noise.took in the car to a local automotive brake shop and they said the rear brakes were hanging up.the right rear brake pads were discolored.the right rear calipers had black material on the inside next to the pads.the pads and calipers on both rear tires were replaced.you can tell the difference after the work was completed.
I was accelerating to 40 mph, until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph.i removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left.as soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm and i was also able to regain some control of the car.i was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car.as the car was about to go off the road, i was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.
This has happened several times in virtually identical scenarios but the most recent was as follows: i was driving in moderately heavy traffic on a three lane divided street with traffic signals. Traffic was fluctuating between "stop & go" and approximately 30 mph. After a traffic light turned green, i began accelerating at a relatively rapid pace when a vehicle cut directly in front of me and braked. I immediately stepped on the brake but felt a tremendous amount of resistance from the pedal and the car was barely able to stop in time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. I noticed that as i was attempting to brake, the engine was still revving at a high rate from the acceleration attempt. It seems that there is some type of problem with the braking system whereby if the engine is revving the brake will fail even if the accelerator pedal is no longer being pressed. A very important detail is that each time this has happened it has been within the first few seconds of a quick acceleration from a complete stop or a crawl. I have never had this problem when trying to stop from a normal speed.
There was a loud engine running all of sudden and the car took off by itself. It was very quick spurt of acceleration and slamming on brake did not slow down the car. The car was totally uncontrollable. The car ran over side walk and rammed into the school fence. My car was totaled. It was toyota's "sudden acceleration" defect happened to me.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. After starting the engine, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to 25 mph. Also, the brakes failed and caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to woburn toyota (394 washington st, woburn, ma) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000. Consumer stated manufacturer was notified of car faulty accelerating.
The rear wheels/brakes on my 2011 toyota camry locked up and caused me to loose control of the car.i crashed into a tree. The following a detailed description of the event. I exited my community, by making a left turn on a county road.the weather was cloudy, and the road was damp dur to recent rain.i was accelerating to 40 mph, which is the speed limit on a county road (a total of 2 lanes), until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph.when i removed my foot from the gas pedal, the back of the car started to loose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The rear end of the car went to the left side of the road.i tried to correct the direction to ensure i stayed in my lane.the rear end of the car started sliding to the right side within my lane and continued to slide/drift.as the car continued sliding the right, it went outside my lane, hit the dirt "shoulder", and hit a ditch covered with rocks, which caused the car to swing to the left.when the car hit the rocks, i felt my body lifted from my sit, but the seat belt held it back.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm.i was also able to regain some control of the car, which was completely off the road at this point in the event.the car was headed towards a small ravine located behind three trees.i steered the car to hit the tree instead of running into a small ravine.
My granddaughter was driving my car. As she was approaching a stop sign she became to press on the brakes but the car wouldnt stop. She was unable to make the car slow down or stop and she ended up slamming into a van. She was bruised and scrapped up cause of the airbags and the car was totaled
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken for a routine oil change when the mechanic advised that the brakes were defective. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 23,706 and the current mileage 24,000.
Car excellerated out of control,causing damage to an apartment an totaling the car out.
I experienced a situation with brake no responses after i step brake several times and felt like car accelerating on may 19th,sunday afternoon on a highway with camry 2011. It was raining and the dealer customer service told me it could happen??. The dealer checked the data and let a field technician checked, then told me when i was trying to pump the brake to reduce speed, the car smartly let the abs system engaged in to avoid locking the wheel, which is the reason what i was feeling brake did not response and accelerating. But i acted so quickly to turn the car onto the highway curb to avoid crash into the front car, after several days check the dealer confirmed with me the camry functioned nothing wrong and it was nothing to do with the quality recall regarding the toyota accelerator issue! maybe it is true, but at least they did not convince me why brakes system did not work once abs engaged. I think there must be a bug in the electronic device abs system causing brakes no pressure no response at all during that critical moment. How dealer can not find anything wrong like that in my camry 2011 ??
Since i bought this car, i have to repair everything, and i am making the payment every month. I was told the day i bought the car that the car was clean with no accident. I found out that the car got accident
The contact owns 2011 toyota camry. The contact was driving uphill at 20 mph and applied the brakes, but the brakes did not respond. The contact crashed into a fence as a result. There were no injuries and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The contact stated that frequently, he would have to depress the brakes abruptly and with two feet before the vehicle would respond.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but the dealer was unable to determine a failure.the manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 5,000
Vehicle was being driven on a dirt road, going around a corner, the vehicle did not slow down and went off the road and skidded alongside the road for about 30 ft.the vehicle then hit a few small stumps, still without slowing down, and finally slammed into a large tree.the impact in which the car hit the tree was so strong that the back end of the car rose up into the air and stayed in that vertical position. Only the tail lights were still visible from the road after the car slammed into the tree and stopped.if the tree hadn't been hit, the car would have continued down the hillside into the bottom of a ravine, about another 40 ft.the entire front drivers side was shoved almost to the windshield and not one of the airbags deployed. The entire drivers side of the motor and hood were destroyed, the battery was crushed and leaking acid everywhere and was sitting behind the front tire and the hood was "v" shaped and pushed into the windshield. There were no skid marks so clearly the brakes weren't functioning properly either, also the speed in which the vehicle went into the tree shows that the acceleration was faulty because the vehicle wouldn't slow down.the drivers face slammed into the steering wheel and broke her nose and received a possible concussion because the airbags failed to deploy, along with numerous bruises and scratches.the damage is so severe that the car is a total loss but still we are left wondering why the airbags didn't go off.if the driver hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, it is very likely that she would have been thrown straight through the windshield and it would have been a fatality.we have pictures of the vehicle and the scene of the accident to show just how serious and dangerous this is.we would like to have answers as to why a vehicle with such high crash test ratings would fail to provide adequate safety to the driver.
I was slowly pulling into a parking space adjacent to the putting green at my condominium.my foot was on the brake pedal when the car suddenly surged forward, jumped the curb, and hit a concrete bench placed at the edge of the green.the brake did not work.the impact was so forceful it destroyed the bench, and the car had to be jacked up to get it off a large piece of concrete.thank goodness the golfer was not close to the car.the car was subsequently repaired for $2,410.58 in damages. Being afraid that this "sudden acceleration" would occur again, i traded the car in for a different brand.because of "frame damage" (which goes to show the force and speed of impact), i only received $10,000 for my trade-in instead of the $14,000 blue book/edmunds/nada value.
I went in to do the lastfree oil change i had with toyota and they came in and tell me they can't let me drive my car it is not safe as one brake pad is totally worn and the other isn't and shows normal wear and tear so i ask how that happens and they say the brake was stuck and pad wore out because i driving around with a brake on the left side of my car which was stuck down all the time which is why it wore at the time i brought it in it was not stuck this was my back brakes. One morning on the way to work i had to quickly go into the lane next to where i was driving because a woman who was on the phone came into the lane i was in i tried to slow down my car not to hit the person in front of me and the car was pulling toward the left which wasthe brake that was not working i was lucky i got control of car no accident. After being told i had a stuck brake what happened that morning made more sense to me. Toyota feels this is normal one brake pad totally worn the other showing normal wear a stuck brake that is not normal. That is a defect in that brake. I have written and email toyota spoken to someone in dealershipthey say this is normal. I was lucky it was only one brake that stuck. Toyota has to take ownership of the problem before someone gets hurt .
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at 55 mph and attempting to decelerate, the vehicle started shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the vehicle needed an alignment, the tires needed to be balanced, and the rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000.
A rubbing/grinding noise was intermittently being heard from the back end during braking and, at times, during acceleration.after contacting an employee at the local toyota dealership, i was informed that this is a common problem with the camrys and that most likely my brake pads would need to be replaced.after bringing my vehicle in for repair, i was shown on my brakes where they had become stuck and the rotors needed repair as well.if this is a common problem, then perhaps toyota should do something about it.
New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down.upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work.as i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident.the road was not wet but it had rained earlier in the day and the road was dry. I returned vehicle to dealer and was told they could not repeat the situation and everything was okay.they told me that even if the road is dry once it rains, the road can still have particles on it that cause the abs to kick in. This continued to happen intermittently about once a month.in the past month, it has happened every few days.my son was driving the car in late feb. And he went over a very small pile of leaves that would not warrant the abs to kick in.he too was almost involved in a wreck.car went back to dealer but dealer can find what was wrong. The abs severely reacts when it should not be doing so.the abs is engaging when it should not be doing so.if one goes over a road that is barely wet or a small patch of drive leaves, as i did the other night, the abs kicks in and locks up the car. When i touch on the breaks lightly coming to a stop, there are no breaks and then they suddenly grab really hard.breaks feel like air is in the line.this did not occur until they put new breaks in my car at 30,000 miles.in addition, the transmission is whining, shifting roughly and not shifting when it is supposed to.my vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week and they said they will be keeping it at least until this coming wed. When a toyota field inspector will be coming to inspect the car.
Abs indicator and slip indicator lights came on. Took it to the dealer and was told that my abs actuator/steering angle sensor needs to be replaced at a cost of 3400.00. I only have 21000 miles on the car. I was wondering if there are other 2011 camry's with this problem.
On sunday evening april 12 i was pulling into a parking space at the holiday inn in east brunswick nj. When i applied the break, my vehicle accelerated on its own. It jumped the curbing in front of the parking space, swiped the front of a parked vehicle and crashed into a stone birdbath in front of the hotel. Miraculously i escaped with a rather ugly bruise to my left forearm and to my right breast from seat belt pressure. My airbag did not open. I will send the police report in another email. It says i was attempting to park in a "handicapped" spot. I was not. I am not handicapped.it also says i "inadvertently" applied the gas instead of the break. I never told anyone that. I was fully awake, conscious and applied the break. I sent a data imaging authorization and consent form to [xxx]. I have to enter a plea by mail to careless driving charges by 5/18/15.i requested that holiday inn provide me with surveillance video butwas told that they would "deal directly" with the insurance company.i was notified on april 27th that my vehicle has been deemed a total loss.i was notified on april 29th that the vehicle's "black box" (for lack of a better description at the moment) would be inspected on april 30th and i would received a report on may 4th.i have no idea as to where to go from here.i need help.

The car star to shake when braked were applied at 55 mphthis happened when the car was 2 years oldnow shakes really bad only when the brakes are use at high speed.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving 70 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond which caused the contact to rear end a parked vehicle. The contact sustained injuries to the right side of the chest and bruises to the neck which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Driving on the freeway and applying brakes there is a strong pulsing and vibration in the car and makes slowing down unstable.brakes were just checked and are fine according to the dealer.since car was new, there is a loud knock that dealer says is abs system resetting when you start car.also tires wear out much too fast which dealer says is a common problem with camry se due to tuning of suspension, as well has causing rapid wearing of brake rotors.
Abs/esp system failure & random engine revving before wreckthe rear wheels/brakes on my 2011 toyota camry locked up and caused me to lose control of the car and crash into a tree.i was accelerating to 40 mph, until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph (by roughly 1 mph).i removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left.as soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm and i was also able to regain some control of the car.i was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car.as the car was about to go off the road, i was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.the alabama state trooper who came and tried to assist me was very unfriendly and appeared to have a uncooperative attitude.the adrenaline rush took over me, causing me to jump up and down and make my wallet fall out of my pocket. It fell into a pile of leaves, which were the same color of the wallet (light leather brown).long story short, the officer gave me a citation for not having my license with me when i was driving, but i did and he refused to take away the citation.the officer also said that he would write me up for reckless driving, which i would not understand why he would do that, if the rear brakes locked up in my car.
Incident on december 31, 2014 about 11:30 am in wayne, pa: at an intersection as i approached a stop sign where a car was already stopped, i applied my brakes. The car failed to stop and instead lurched forward and the engine increased. The noise was not of the brakes but of the engine roaring. As the car surged forward,i lifted my foot off of the brakes and then reapplied them pressure on the brakes. Again the car did not stop but did slow down. The third application of the brakes did stop the car just inches from the car ahead of me. The next incident occurred on january 13, 2015 when the same experience occurred. I took it to peruzzi toyota. They could not find anything wrong with the brakes. On january 15, i took the unsafe car back to the dealership for further investigation. On january 16 after completing what they called the protocol for unintended acceleration, they "released the car" back to me having not corrected the problem. They indicated they had no further responsibility and gave me the toyota manufacturer phone number to call. I called that number and was told a case manager would get back to me in four days. Meanwhile, i am left with an unsafe car and no recourse with the dealership.
A very very bad burning smell is coming from the brakes. I smell it everytime i get out of my car. Started a few weeks ago.
During winter period below 30 degrees f it is necessary to apply a lot of pressure to brake pedal, it feels as if the brakes are not applying properly. This resulted in snowy condition the car slid and resulted in accident. This has occurred multiple times, in cold weather.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that as the brake pedal was depressed, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the rear tires. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the rear driver's side brake pad had detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle would not be repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000. The vin was unavailable.
Driving down rd went to brake wouldn't stop steering threw us in a ditch-field hit a sign still could not stop.
Driver first noticed a problem when she came to a stop at a traffic light.the camry started revving the engine even though driver was depressing the brake pedal; at this point the traction light came on.five minutes later, driver approached a red light going approximately 25 mph.she depressed the brake pedal and the camry made a loud sound then jerked forward repeatedly.the brakes did not slow down the car consequently causing her to run the red light.she then attempted to get to a safe place, so she pulled into a parking lot.when driver attempted to stop by depressing the brake pedal all the way to the floor, the car did not stop or slow down nearly causing her to crash into a parking lot barrier.there was a noticeable burning smell.terrified, we took the camry to a toyota dealership. The dealership technicians recovered diagnostic trouble codes: c1249 and u0129. The technicians also drove the camry for 55 miles, but they did not make any repairs, despite the dtc codes, because they said they could not replicate the problem.this is a brand new camry, and we are terrified to drive it, but toyota won't do anything about it because they say there's nothing wrong.the diagnostic trouble codes indicate otherwise.based on research we did, the first code c1249, indicates an opening in the stop light switch circuit, which recommends three likely causes of the error, 1) the stop light switch, 2) stop light switch circuit, or 3) the brake actuator assembly (skid control ecu).the second code u0129 indicates trouble with the abs and traction actuator assembly (as well as the skid control ecu), or the can communication system.this is particularly alarming because what this error means is that the computer disengages the brakes, which is clearly what happened to us.the toyota dealership told us to contact corporate; corporate told us to contact the dealership.no repairs have been done, and the car is just collecting dust now.
In traffic driving approx 20 mph when i tried to stop, pressed the brake and car didn't stop, actually seemed to speed up. Rear ended car in front. Air bags did not deploy.car is currently being repaired at body shop.
I was returning home from themall in pottsville, pa. I drove down the roadway next to the mall to the stop sign. I was able to stop the car at that time. I proceeded to turn to the left out the driveway of the mall. The driveway of the mall is pretty long and on a steep hill.i attempted to apply my brakes at the top of the hill. There was pressure on the brake but nothing happened. The car continued to accelerate forward. I didn't want to continue down the steep hill knowing the brakes weren't working and crash into the van at the bottom of the hill so i decided to turn to the right sharply on a drive that curved around to a neighboring store next to the mall (going almost back uphill at this time). Still no brakes so i decided to hit the curb to stop the vehicle and prevent hitting any other vehicle.what is extremely odd is that even though my foot was not on the accelerator and was on the brake pedal and i turned sharply and going slightly uphill there was no change in the acceleration of the car. I had no choice but to hit the curb to stop the car.i put the car in reverse and back off of the curb. I proceeded down the hill again. Still no brakes. I could feel the pressure on the brake pedal but the brakes just didn't work. I had to turn the car to the right and hit the curb again next to the lane i was in.so when there was no traffic and the light at the bottom of the hill turned green i proceeded down the hill and turned right onto rt 61 s. I immediately tried the brake again and nothing. So in order to stop the car i applied the emergency brake. This of course caused the car to spin but at least the car stopped. I put the car in neutral and then used the clutch less shifting to control the speed of the car and returned home. Toyota has retained an inspector to inspect the car today at the dealership today 2/27/12.
Vibration @ various speeds: 10/7/10 (mge 16): purchased(misconstrued vibration for road conditions). 10/8/10 (mge 49) all speeds, brought to dealer. Per dealer: flat spots on tires due to car sitting to long. Solution: over-inflate & instructed to drive. Also, disc were out of round. 10/11 (mge 89) discs serviced, vibration still present. Dealer denies presence. 11/15 (mge 975) dealer acknowledges vibration, tires replaced, vibration still present @ highway speeds. 2/19/11 (mge 5160) 5k maint., vibration still present, car pulling left when braking/accelerating. Service rep claims to have driven the car in addition to mechanic. Denied presence of vibration, exact quote "it drives like a camry". 2/21/11: car hit in rear driver tire, wheel assembly replaced, new rim, new bumper needed. No change in vibration, still present at highway speeds. 7/12 (mge 10127) 10k maint., vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 11/4 (mge 15355) 15k maint. Advised vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 3/22/12 (mge 19973) 20k maint., vibration still present, now severe pulse when braking. Pulse acknowledged, rotors resurfaced. Again dealer denies presence of initial vibration. 06/8 (mge 24949) vibration now felt at lower speedsds 50+ w/ increases intensity with speeds & @ 19-25 mph. Per dealer unable to validate low speed,but noted slight pulse at highway speeds. Dealer called factory rep. 6/10: dealer advised they went over car's hx with rep, no further action, tires too warn to evaluate. (lf uneven wear; other 3 ok). Instructed to buy tires for eval. 6/12 (mge 25087):called toyota; case # 1206120145. 6/13/12 toyota rep advised do not warranty tires, factory rep can't assess w/defective equipment. But, call dealer to see if temp tires could be used for eval since complaint was noted upon taking ownership. Immediate options:wait for dealer response, buy tires to see if the vibration is present or contact bridgestone.
On 9 dec 2010, i drove a rental car, 2011 toyota camry (blue) from virginia back to new jersey (nj). The car had 3316 miles when i rent on 8 dec 2010 in nj. At approximately 6:35 pm edt on 9 dec 2010, i was driving in the most left express lane at 60 mph in prince george's county in maryland. The driver from my right hand passenger side tended to pass me from the right, and that car was also very close to me. I could not even see the rear light of that vehicle. I was forced to slow down the 2011 toyota camry to avoid collision, but the car could not simply slow down.in order to avoid the collision, i shift part of my car to the shoulder in my left hand side. Then i discovered a car parked on the shoulder with no signals/lights.i put on brakes the 2011 toyota camry really hard to the floor, but the car could not slow down and could not stop completely.the brake system in the 2011 toyota camry was obviously failed and it was even accelerated during the last few seconds prior to the collision. The 2011 toyota camry was finally hit right onto back of the parked car (on the shoulder). After the severe collision at the front driver side, none of the airbags in the 2011 toyota camry was deployed from this sever front driver side collision. Most of all, i was not able to stop the 2011 toyota camry due to its braking system failure!the mileage after the collision was 3595 and the total number of miles driving during this trip was 279 miles (8-9 dec 2010).i was hurt severely in the lower back/lumbar spine area.i was very lucky that i was survived from this severe car accident.
This vehicle was involved in an accident in the home driveway of the owners of the vehicle. As the owner was turning into his driveway, a tire blew out on the vehicle's right front passenger side. As the driver/owner hit the brake the car accelerated into the side rock barrier of the driveway. According to toyota who investigated the incident, there was no issue with vehicle. But another incident has recently happened involving the car this year which will be reported on a separate form which shows us their is an unsafe issue with the vehicle that requires toyota to be investigated.
This vehicle was involved in a previous accident in the home driveway of the owners of the vehicle. As the owner was turning into his driveway, a tire blew out on the vehicle's right front passenger side. As the driver/owner hit the brake the car accelerated into the side rock barrier of the driveway. According to toyota who investigated the incident, there was no issue with vehicle. But another incident has recently happened involving the car this year on the incident date listed on this form. The wife of the owner of the vehicle was in the driveway operating the toyota camry 2011 to park the vehicle. As the car was turning to park in the driveway the operator pressed on the brake to back the vehicle back when all of a sudden without warning the vehicle leaped forward hitting the an exterior door to their basement which is surrounded by the rock that covers their home. The car was severely damaged, air bags were deployed and the operator sustained some injuries which caused her to visit the hospital and have medication prescribed to her. The impact on this second accident was so severe that is shown pictures of the incident you have to wonder how such an impact could happen unless their was fault in the vehicle. This time we are awaiting response from toyota to investigate this problem. We also wanted to contact the government to make known of this recurring issue with the braking or unintended acceleration of the vehicle.
In aug. Of `10 i purchased a 2011 toyota camry.it has about 6500 miles on it and after driving it home from niagara falls yesterday, about 100 miles, i ran it through a car wash.i drove it home about a mile and made two stops on the way.parked in the garage i went out to get the car around noon today (19 hours after the wash).the car would not move as the wheels were all tightly locked.i could not get it to go forward or backward.finally one of the front wheels moved slightly and in so doing the back end of the car went sideways into the garage wall doing minor damage.i did not try it any more until around 24 hours after the car wash and it still is tightly locked and will not move.the temperature last night was about zero and 20 degrees today.i fear if i really force it may do damage to the brakes if it hasn't already.i have driven cars for 60 years, washed many in as cold weather and never had this happen.i have been told it is a design flaw.if i was not retired and had to go to work i would not have been able to move the car.thank you for the opportunity to report this problem.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry hybrid. The contact was driving 55 mph and attempted to engage the brakes but the vehicle did not stop and exhibited an abnormal noise. As a result, she crashed into the rear of another vehicle. A police report was not filed and no injuries were reported. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the failure was due to her depressing the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who sent an engineer to further inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 2,600.
The driver was in parking lotof rehab center picking up patient andsays the car lost control going 6 miles per hour ran into the rehab center incurring over $10,000 in damages to the car not including damages to the rehab center front glass door.the2011 toyota camry purchased in septermber of 2011 new from the lot at mechanicsville va toyota dealership. We called thetoyota mainofficeand they sent out a representitive for inspection of the car on january 26th or27th2012 prior to any work being done to repair the car. We have not heard back from toyota as it takes up to 30 days. The car is currently under full repair from the collision.
At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that i have seen on interstate, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very bad. The car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredictable jumping behavior. Well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing..........this problem have happened since i bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. I have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but i have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until i bought this camry. After reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. This problem needs immediate attentions.
Letter from congressman on behalf of constituent re two instances of total brake failure in 2011 toyota camry.the consumer stated she noticed the engine began to rev while depressing the brake pedal and then the traction light illuminated. Five minutes later, while approaching a red light, as she applied the brake to slow down, the vehicle made a loud noise then jerked forward repeatedly. The consumer had no choice, but to run the red light. As the consumer attempted to pull over, she applied the brake, but the pedal literally went all the way to the floor.the consumer stated the second time she experienced brake failure, it nearly caused her to crash into a barrier. After she brought the vehicle to a stop, the consumer smelled a burning odor.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were able to bring up the trouble codes. The first code, indicated an opening in the stoop light switch circuit and the second code was the abs traction actuator assembly and skid control ecu. The consumer stated despite the evidence, toyota refused to make any repairs.

Im really unhappy with this car its just 1 thing after another first had the noisy moon roof issue and finally got it fixed by bringing in the tsb so it could not be denied, now i have a noisy power steering pump that whine very loud but was told that its normal (what a crock). Currently my car is shifting hard on take off and decreasing speed to stop. Toyota has really gone down. I traded a 2000 camry xle that was better than this newer model.
Backing out of driveway onto the street and noticed the steering was somewhat difficult and felt thick.driving down the road to turn the corner it felt similar, but not as bad.got home and asked my wife if she noticed anything previously and she stated now that i mentioned it she did, but didn't think to tell me.drove it for another few days and no improvement was noticed.contacted my toyota dealer and scheduled and appointment for the following tuesday, june 25, 2013.the mechanic agreed it wasn't right, but the belt looked good and the fluid was full with no noticeable problem.a call to tech. Support services had me return for further diagnostics on friday june 28, 2013.metal contaminants were noticed inside the power steering pump.it was recommended the rack and pinion and power steering pump be replaced.i am waiting for parts to arrive and the repairs to be completed.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 72 mph, the steering wheel shook without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,800.
The car star to shake when braked were applied at 55 mphthis happened when the car was 2 years oldnow shakes really bad only when the brakes are use at high speed.
I just bought a brand new 2011 toyota camry in may 2010. The car is only 1 month old and since day 1, the car veers to the left at highway cruising speeds above 50 mph.i brought it back to the dealer, and they aligned the tires, rotated the tires and performed a full inspection.they said it was fixed, but as soon as i drove off, the problem remained and veers left at highway speeds.
Ever since i bought the car (4 cyl., xle) a year ago:automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up;it coasts a few inches after i put it into park, even on level ground.power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces.cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem.dealer's service dept. Claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design.
Traveling on a state road during a slight snow event.the road was partially snow covered but treated and not overly slippery.the car suddenly veered to the left and went out of control.during this time the traction control light came on and stayed on while making the car unresponsive to attempts to steer the car.hit a fence doing minor damage to car and fence. After the crash drove the car at a low speed to home.car was very difficult to keep on road and traction control light stayed on continually. At home once the car was placed on dry garage floor and backed up it made a loud thud noise and then seemed to respond normally.this lasted only for two tenths of mile then light came back on and car control became erratic again.put back in garage awaiting for insurance adjuster.now afraid to drive.
Ever since i have owned this car the steering has trouble with needing constant driver input to stay in the lane of traffic.this is more prominent at highway speeds.i have had two steering adjustments and the dealer says the steering is ok.the car had bad steering adjustment since day one.
I was driving in the right lane in a school zone, on a straight stretch. No other cars were near me. The steering wheel suddenly pulled to the right, causing the car to hit the curb. My first thought was, i had a flat tire, but i did not. Since it was not far, i decided to take my car to pohanka toyota where i purchased it and have it serviced. The dealer replaced the right rear wheel hub, bearing and shock absorber. ...updated 10/22/14
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving approximately 60 mph, the steering ability seized without warning. The failure occurred approximately ten times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
Since i bought this car, i have to repair everything, and i am making the payment every month. I was told the day i bought the car that the car was clean with no accident. I found out that the car got accident
This car pulls to the laft so hard it has been a danger since day one. Nothing the dealer could do can fix it. Also i have heard of numerous others with the same complaint and they have come to the conclution that this problem is a real threat. The dealer said this car cannot be fixed.
Rear adjuster control arms both rusted/seized and can not adjust alignment. Alignment out and destroys tires in 5k miles,had to buy 4 new tires again
1. Defective car was delivered by toyota & its dealer to me (customer). ----------- 2. Car was not tested by toyota/dealer on tires & vibration/shaking before delivery to customer. ----------- 3. When i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 4. Because of defective tires fitted by toyota & not tested properly by toyota, damages happened on the overall life span of car - suspension & steering systems. ----------- 5. Customer - driving safety was also put on huge risk, as untested car was delivered by toyota. ----------- 6. When i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 7. By having that defect in tires, it is obvious that overall life span of car's suspension, struts & steering system has been reduced, because of running with this vibration & shaking. ----------- 8. With this existing defect in car (it was present before delivery & couldn't be fixed by toyota service dealer for 6-months), customer's comfort & driving experience is totally ruined. Toyota is responsible for this damage to the customer's driving discomfort & the safety risk of customer's life (while driving the shaking & vibrating car). ----------- 9. Now, as your supervisor offered "one year" of extended warranty on this car. It shows that toyota know it very well that car is so much impacted & now has shorten the life span of car (because of these damaged tires & impacted parts in the car) so toyota is only offering "one year" of extended service to cover up their mistakes / defects in their quality.==============- car's shaking (vibrations at both - slow and higher speed), - impacts/damages the life span of steering,suspension and struts, - tires not in balance (wheel balancing was not done by toyota).==============
Everytime the weather get cold my car make a whining noise that now of the toyota dealers can figure out. I believe there a steering issue with toyota.
Abs indicator and slip indicator lights came on. Took it to the dealer and was told that my abs actuator/steering angle sensor needs to be replaced at a cost of 3400.00. I only have 21000 miles on the car. I was wondering if there are other 2011 camry's with this problem.
When i travel at the speed of65+ mph,steering wheel is shakingvery badly, wheel balancing does not fix it.
The car requires almost constant driver input in the steering to maintain it within the lane of traffic at freeway speeds. There is play in the steering wheel and the car does not track securely while driving on a freeway. As a result it is fatiguing to constantly have to correct from right to left and back again left to right while driving at freeway speeds. Toyota rep and dealer mechanics claim there is no problem. It feels as though the electronic variable assist power steering is not decreasing when at freeway speeds as it is supposed to which causes the car to not track securely within it's lane. There are no tire or alignment issues. Toyota is pretending there is no problem and hoping i will go away.
I cant keep this car in its lane, it veers to the left at all speeds and even worse at highway speeds. This is very dangerous and needs to be corrected by toyota because the car will not take an alignment and pulls the driver into oncoming traffic constantly.
Never diid they fix the recall

Sun visors in numerous toyota models have a defect recognized by toyota, however only certain models are being covered under the "limited extended warranty".this extended warranty was not made clear or public to the car owners, instead only turning up in google searches of why their sun visor was failing. Toyota and their dealerships are refusing to repair the defect if the vehicle doesn't fall in the extremely limited number of vin's proposed.the sun visor is drooping into the drivers line of sight and will not stay up, causing limited vision and distracted driving. It has become a hazard for multiple people in my household as we all drive toyotas, two of which are camry's. I have to hold the visor up with my hand while at intersections to see street lights, and my field of sight is greatly diminished while driving, making it difficult to see when a vehicle in front of me is stopped until i am very close to it. Driving with one hand holding the visor up is also extremely dangerous as i am unable to control the wheel with just one hand in a defensive situation.there have been numerous complaints online about this issue yet toyota still refuses to do anything, only "apologizing" and choosing to cover just enough cars to make it seem like they're doing something about it.this situation is likely to end in a fatality due to toyota's carelessness on this extremely hazardous situation.
Knocking noise while driving
On two occasions (august 2019 and october 27, 2019)when pulling in to my driveway i experienced unintentional acceleration by the vehicle.the second time the car rammed into a post on my house and the airbag deployed fracturing my sternum in three places.
The passenger and driver door paneling is defective. The cloth adhering to the door cushioning is peeling off. Within 1.5 years of ownership the passenger side peeled. Within another year and a half the driver side started to peel.
I was driving east on secondary road when a driver failed to stop and hit my car; first impact hit at my drivers side at front left of car then also she hit theleft back side ofmy car which swung around at impact. Driver stated she didn't see my car. She was ticketed at fault and both of us were transported to hospital. My car's airbags did not deploy at all, not even the side impact bags! i hit my head on either the window or the upper door and sustained a hematoma on my top left skull and possibleconcussion as well as neck and back injuries. My vehicle was declared a total loss. A toyota official told me later that from everythinghe knows, the airbags shouldhave deployed in this instance,

The accelerator on this vehicle stuck and caused me to lose control of this vehicle. I had no control over the accelerator at the time of this accident.
Paint too weak, start to corrosion on hood ,top. Parking outside.
On march 18, 2020 i was driving on a highway on a steep grade during a winter storm and was part of an accident that involved hitting the guard rail causing my car to spin out and sustain a total loss of damage. Luckily i received no injuries but it was brought to my attention due to the extent of the damage that the airbags should have deployed and they did not. The vehicle is being held in a lot in case it needs to be examined. Toyota has stated they are not going to examine the vehicle unless they can also access the edr.
Car parked, engine off, while checking fluids, the hood support links failed and the hood hit me in the head.via telephone, toyota rep @ headquarters said they are out of warranty and no recall blah blah blah. Unacceptable and dangerous. Despite the vehicle being 9 years old, these parts are never used and should function. How often is the hood opened? very rarely. Faulty design perhaps or my ignorance?thank you.
I rear-ended the car in front of me at speed 60 mph. My entire front end was destroyed. None of the airbags were deployed. Me and my passenger were wearing seatbelts. We had a lot of chest pain around the incident.
Strong, loud, persistent knocking sound coming from passenger side of roof when going over bumps or uneven pavement.this noise is the frame popping from two parts of the frame coming into contact, from what i was told by dealer. This was taken to the dealer previously and the tsb was found and work completed.it began making the noise again after a few days to a week after the service.i have scheduled to take it in again, but have hesitated due to the condition i received my car after service last time.the liner and body covers do not go back on right and the car did not look new any longer when i received it back.the problem was said to be caused by welding slag on the frame rubbing together, and bad welds on the car's body.this is not what someone wants to hear when purchasing a new car.
On 5/19/17 the driver side sun visor suddenly began to not stay in the resting position. It does not stay in the position towards the windshield anymore either. It just hangs straight down. It will not stay up at all. This is a known issue on these vehicles. Toyota had issued a warranty extension but only for certain vin numbers. My vin does not fall within the range. I came across this web forum where numerous people have posted with similar problems http://j.mp/2qu53vo here are links to the toyota documents outlining the problem, the warranty extension, and applicable vins. Http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/pol12-03.pdf http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/ztt-dlrltr.pdfi contacted toyota and they confirmed that my vin is not included and there was nothing more they could do for me. I have attached the response email from them and case number. This is not just an annoyance, it is a safety issue as it inhibits my view of the road.
I bought my car in 11/2010.about 3 years later, the dashboard became sticky. I thought if was because of the heat.as time passed it got worse and it's causing a very bad glare.i was searching the web to see what causes this and came across an action suit against toyota for this problem.i also had the problem with my sun visors continuously dropping. This too was a problem many others were having with this model.i called toyota to see what they can do and they stated that there was nothing they could do since my vin # was not on the "list".i called the corporate office and they to said that there was nothing they can do.i will have to pay for it myself and "if in the future, they receive a change, they will reimburse me.i find this disturbing that since my car was not on the "list" yet i'm having the same problems other toyota owners are having, i do not qualify to get my car fixed.i wanted to pass the car down to my son, but before i do, i have to pay for the problems i'm having which will cost over 900.00.i am extremely disappointed and will not be buying my future car from toyota.
A rattle or popping noise coming from the moonroof above front/rear passenger seat. A loud creaking sound all the time heard since winter is present when making turns or just hitting bumps in the road. Called dealer was told that plastic shims/ or different kits were needed and the labor was outrageous for customer pay. The 3 year warranty is ridiculous this is a structural issue. This is a known problem with all 2007 -up toyota camry's. Tsb's are online.if you google moonroof popping or rattling on 2011 toyota camry's, you'll find that this is a recurring problem that toyota is having with their moonroof. Why should the consumer spend thousands to fix a structural issue? i heard worst case scenario is total removal of moonroof with no guarantees to fix on my tab. Car is barely out of bumper to bumper warranty.
Since i bought this car, i have to repair everything, and i am making the payment every month. I was told the day i bought the car that the car was clean with no accident. I found out that the car got accident
'takata recall'my car was forced into cement lane barrier on interstate and then bounced off and rear ended car in front of me. My airbags did not deploy.
Initially the sun visor will fell and block some driver side view. After a year or 2 later, it completely fell and will block the driver side view. This is a hazard condition and should have been recalled, toyota issued warranty bulletin(pol12-03) to replace certain vin range of the camry 07~11,mine is the 2011, however i do not see the vin in that document. I've bought 3 new camry in the past, only this one has the problem. Looking at the internet, many people have the same issue.and this should have been addressed by the toyota.
July 2016 i was pulling away from my bank atm at approx.2-5 mph in my 2011 toyota camry when the car took off.the car accelerated so fast. I hit the brakes but it didn't stop the car. I missed a car and a van, went up over the parking block and hit a pole. That stopped me!i had 2 passengers in the car.somehow no one got hurt.i had 3 blown tires and the right side window broken out with damage to that door.the front bumper was pulled from the body. The car has damage to the tie rod and will have to be replaced. Front end alignment will also have to be done.my car had to be towed home. Airbags did not deploy. I called the dealership from which i bought it from but it's been over 10 days and several phone calls with no response. This seems to be a problem with 2011 camry's from the complaints i have read.when will something be done about this, after a death?the problem needs to be addressed asap.
Driver side sun visor is not holding its position and has become a hazardous since it blocks normal visibility when dangling. Called toyota dealer and they said there is no recall and customer has to pay for the replacement. Under normal to light uses the inside mechanism broke. 2007 model had a recall for early breakdown. But 2011 model i believe has same parts but was not recalled or fixed. Toyota is providing cheap quality parts and pushing the burden to the consumer. This condition is subject to hazardous condition and should be recalled by toyota. I request nhtsa to investigate this matter and make toyota to recall this parts.
In april 2016 i noticed a pool of oil on my camry dashboard .the dashboard felt very sticky and now is cracking .in addition,the shiny oil reflects on my windshield.the reflection is distracting especially in the brilliant sunlight and at night.clearly this reflection is a driving hazard and my dashboard is disintegratingunfortunately my vin is not included in the camry dashboard recalli implore that toyota do the right thing and stand by their product .photos of dashboard will follow.

I was pulling out of the parking lot at bank of america in lithonia, ga and when i put the car in reverse, it accelerated and i couldn't stop it until it hit a light pole located behind the car. It was a loud impact but thank god my husband and i were not injured nor did we injure another person or their vehicle. It was only the grace of god that spared our lives because it was at 9:00 a.m. In the morning and a lot of people were coming in and out of the bank. I have had other episodes of acceleration which i reported to toyota in 2012 when i had the first accident which cost 12,000 in repairs.they inspected the vehicle at that time and stated that they couldn't find anything wrong. I did experience occasional episodes of acceleration after that inspection but no accidents until february 1, 2020. I purchased the car in 2012.

Hellothis issue happened with my 2011 toyota camry. Yesterday evening at 7:30 pm i was trying to get into my car. The edge of the driver side car door slammed into my head and pierced through it. I had to call 911 and had to get 10 stitches on my forehead.once i came back and examined the door of my car what i found is that the edge of car door looks like sharpened knife. The rubber beading does not reach till the corner of the car door (both on the driver side and passenger side).the edge of car door is extremely unsafe. I checked another car and there are no issues with that. The rubber padding reaches till the corner for that car.

Purchased 2011 toyota camry le new and the dealership serviced the tire maint. For 24k miles and it was cupping tires out at 15k they replaced them and 15k later cupped again they said it was out of alignment but they did alignment so what then, tried to file lawsuit and was turned down after toyota sent someone down to look at the car and said they found nothing wrong but since then every 15-20k miles new tires go on because they are cupped toyota said nothing was wrong now the car has 150k miles and i'm on my 7th set of tires, have used anything from a 80k miles yokohama down to the cheapest set of sumitomo tires and it doesn't make very much difference as to the mileage you get from a set, there have been over a dozen 4 wheel alighnments done and they have been balanced hundreds of times nothing helps. The car came from the factory with bridgestone turanza tires and they lasted 15k. On this set of tires that is on the car now i let the tire dealer take over the maint. And they roadforce balance and rotate every 5k miles and it hasn't helped any, the tires are cupped bad and they are at 20k miles now. I am changing all the struts and alignment again to see if this fixes the problem.

- car's shaking (vibrations at both - slow and higher speed), - impacts/damages the life span of steering, suspension and struts, - tires not in balance (wheel balancing was not done by toyota). ============================= 1.defective car was delivered by toyota & its dealer to me (customer). 2.car was not tested by toyota/dealer on tires & vibration/shaking before delivery to customer.3.when i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. 4. Because of defective tires fitted by toyota & not tested properly by toyota, damages happened on the overall life span of car - suspension & steering systems. 5.customer - driving safety was also put on huge risk, as untested car was delivered by toyota. 6.when i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. 7.by having that defect in tires, it is obvious that overall life span of car's suspension, struts & steeringsystem has been reduced, because of running with this vibration & shaking.8.with this existing defect in car (it was present before delivery & couldn't be fixed by toyota service dealer for 6-months), customer's comfort & driving experience is totally ruined. Toyota is responsible for this damage to the customer's driving discomfort & the safety risk of customer's life (while driving the shaking & vibrating car). 9.now, as your supervisor offered "one year" of extended warranty on this car. It shows that toyota know it very well that car is so much impacted & now has shorten the life span of car (because of these damaged tires & impacted parts in the car) so toyota is only offering "one year" of extended service to cover up their mistakes / defects in their quality.
I purchased a used 2011 toyota camry in 2013 from a toyota dealership.before the 30 day warranty was up, i had to return to have an alignment done.the next day i was back again because the car was not in alignment.i had the alignment repeated.i can't recall the total number of times i have had this done.after the dealer warranty ran out, i used at least 3 other auto repair chains to try to fix the problem.i went back to each one numerous times trying to get the problem solved.it was never corrected to my satisfaction.at some of the repair shops i also had 12 month warranty that i purchased with tires, brakes, and other services.they began to refuse to repeat the alignments, asking if i hit something or suggesting other expensive services that i didn't want or need, refusing to honor their warranty until i had these services done.i know they hated to have me come in so many times to have an alignment repeated.it was never corrected and this became very expensive-having unnecessary services that never helped the problem.as i am not the original vehicle owner, i never received any notification about the recall on the ball joints or any other notices about it.never even heard of this or been informed by anyone concerning the problem.i cannot recall the problem being corrected ever.it only has 72,000mi on it and it does not feel like a safe or reliable vehicle any longer.the alignment problem is still there.i believe toyota should at least make some attempt to assist me.it is still difficult to drive the car. Like fighting with it and having to constantly keep it in the correct lane and on the street.
Car was brought in for tire noise. It was determined that the tires were wearing unevenly due to misalignment. Since the dealer did an alignment in april i felt that this was unacceptable. After complaining for about a half an hour that this was the worst toyota i have ever bought (and i have had many). The service manager finally relented to replace all four tires and do a four wheel alignment free of charge. They said it was for "customer relations". Or perhaps to make me disappear. In any event i was pleased with the results. Only time will tell if this alignment holds.
Cv boot is leaking grease without finding damage upon physical inspection. Two mechanics have reported this to me while working on unrelated maintenance issues.
Vibration @ various speeds: 10/7/10 (mge 16): purchased(misconstrued vibration for road conditions). 10/8/10 (mge 49) all speeds, brought to dealer. Per dealer: flat spots on tires due to car sitting to long. Solution: over-inflate & instructed to drive. Also, disc were out of round. 10/11 (mge 89) discs serviced, vibration still present. Dealer denies presence. 11/15 (mge 975) dealer acknowledges vibration, tires replaced, vibration still present @ highway speeds. 2/19/11 (mge 5160) 5k maint., vibration still present, car pulling left when braking/accelerating. Service rep claims to have driven the car in addition to mechanic. Denied presence of vibration, exact quote "it drives like a camry". 2/21/11: car hit in rear driver tire, wheel assembly replaced, new rim, new bumper needed. No change in vibration, still present at highway speeds. 7/12 (mge 10127) 10k maint., vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 11/4 (mge 15355) 15k maint. Advised vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 3/22/12 (mge 19973) 20k maint., vibration still present, now severe pulse when braking. Pulse acknowledged, rotors resurfaced. Again dealer denies presence of initial vibration. 06/8 (mge 24949) vibration now felt at lower speedsds 50+ w/ increases intensity with speeds & @ 19-25 mph. Per dealer unable to validate low speed,but noted slight pulse at highway speeds. Dealer called factory rep. 6/10: dealer advised they went over car's hx with rep, no further action, tires too warn to evaluate. (lf uneven wear; other 3 ok). Instructed to buy tires for eval. 6/12 (mge 25087):called toyota; case # 1206120145. 6/13/12 toyota rep advised do not warranty tires, factory rep can't assess w/defective equipment. But, call dealer to see if temp tires could be used for eval since complaint was noted upon taking ownership. Immediate options:wait for dealer response, buy tires to see if the vibration is present or contact bridgestone.
Ball joint has been deteriorating since 2015.there is a recall on my year and make already but my vin is not included
Purchased brand new tires in july...cost of 700.00 dollars...one month later the steering wheel would vibrate when i was at 40 mph...and slowing...paid to get front end alignment..cost of 145.00 dollars...next day the steering wheel still vibrated....took it back and told them to fix or give me money back....was told that the new front tire had a wave in it from the shocks going bad in the front end of the car.shock replacement now is going to be 500.00 dollars....will never buy another car made in the usa..this toyota was made in tenn...thank you...for your time
At highway speeds, my new 2011 toyota camry veers left.(purchased 9/9/10)the dealer has aligned it twice, and the vehicle still veers left at highway speeds. I have not had the vehicle for more than 1 day in a row, as it has been returned to dealer over and over.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while replacing the tires, the mechanic advised that the struts were leaking oil. The vehicle was not taken to dealer or a repair shop for inspection of the struts or any repairs. The dealer was made aware of the failure and stated that the struts were supposed to leak. The manufacturer provided the same information as well. The current mileage was 44,800. The failure mileage was 41,000.
My complaint is towards the toyota motor company for failing to identify a problem they have had with leaking struts. After speaking with toyota, i learned that toyota engineers have deemed a slight leak ok and they will not cover it under warranty.i have owned several cars and had to replace leaking shocks and struts because it just gets worse and causes tire wear which in my opinion would lead to a safety issue.it is not my intent to bad mouth toyota, however they have taken a carefree approach to this problem which concerns me. Thank you
Knocking noise while driving
Last june (2017)i was driving and next thing i knew i was hitting the side walk and then was unable to drive the car.had it towed to a local garage and they had to replace the control arm w/ball joint - lower front suspension and also had to get a new tire.saw on a website this item was recalled under nhtsa campaign # 14v732000.i
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While making a left or right turn at unknown speeds, an abnormal clicking sound emitted from the vehicle without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician stated that the ball joint may needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v732000 (suspension). The failure mileage was 46,000.
I purchased my 2011 camry sle used through the toyota dealer in jan. 2014, my vehicle i have owned for just over a year before i noticed this issue. I had brand new tires put on the car immediately after purchasing. Now, a year later, i feel a vibration in the steering wheel when driving at higher speeds of 55-70mph. I took my car in to have the tires checked where i purchased them and was informed that my front struts were leaking causing the vibration and my tires to wear uneven (high/low spots in all tires). I brought my car to toyota (after having been there the week before for a service) and was told they were only leaking slightly and they were not required to replace them with the amount leaking. I was never informed of any leaking issues at my service and it was even noted that they were checked and fine. I replaced the front two tires again a bout a month ago thinking it might solve the problem but there is still a vibration and noise coming from the front end. I was informed by another mechanic that they typically get replaced at $70,000but seems like there is an issue with them and that i should return to the dealer to have them replaced since they are under warranty.
I was making a left hand turn on a side street when my steering wheel became harder to turn and i lost control of my vehicle. The right front lower ball joint had broken off causing the entire tire and tie rod to detach from the car. This caused damage to my right passenger door and the damage to the suspension entire car to shift resulting in misalignment.

Alloy wheels are prematurely corroding.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel shook. The vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 14v732000 (suspension) at lowe's toyota (375 houston lake rd, warner robins, ga 31088), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle and the steering wheel continued to shake. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the front rotors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Seat cloth broke driver..vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away.. Turn a.c. And knocking noise.clunking noise on suspension since i bought the car dealer never did anything.now in may this year i experience vibration when i accelerate around 40mph.crazy annoying issue.paid to muchmoney.car looks new but a lot of issues.i don't even think airbags work.accident and didn't come out.crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.
My year of toyota and make had a recall on the front driver's side ball joint and my ball joint is about ready to snap because it is a faulty factory ball joint. I would like this to be checked out because i have kids and i don't want to hurt any of us. Thank you for your time and consideration. Families are forever!!
Front right axle boot leaks grease to the control arm suspension causing the vehicle to be un stable/vibration puts me in fear. Dealership does not want to do anything about it. I am very scared. The vehicle is in motion
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While traveling 60 mph, the contact noticed that the ride comfort had began to decline, especially when driving over any type of road bump. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where all four struts were replaced due to a leakage. The current and failure mileages were 56,000.
I have had complications not only with visor on drivers side but also the their is a clunking weirdnoise from the suspension. If turn on heat or touch radio the lights on dash flash. I also when trying to accelerate their is no power.
When i take off and get to exactly 25 mph, i hear a thumping from the back passenger side of the car.sounds like thumping is coming from the tire.it only happens until it gets to 25 mph.when you go passed 25 mph it stops.i have taken the car to the dealership approximately five times and they never hear the noise.they tried to tell me that it was probably gas swishing around in the gas tank.it is a thumping, not a swishing.
On 6/20/2013, i took my car in for a routine oil change and tire rotation at aamco. The service manager called me in to look at my tires.he showed me the metal showing through my tires, and told me there was no need for a tire rotation.although aamco does not sell tires, he recommended that i take my car somewhere else asap to replace the tires because they were in such bad shape.on 6/22/2013, i took my car to goodyear to have the tires replaced.they told me that there was a bad leak in the struts which caused the wear on my tires.with approximately 45,000 miles on my car, the guy from goodyear said that my tires should not have worn down that badly.he recommended that i call toyota to find out if they had any recalls concerning struts with bad leaks.he also said that the leakage would continue to be a problem until they were replaced, and that if not replaced, i could count on abnormal wear on my brand new tires, as well.therefore, i will be contacting toyota soon.i saw other posts on this site concerning problems with struts.so, i doubt they will do anything about my issue.however, the guy from goodyear said it looked like a manufacturer problem and i should at least try to get them to repair at no cost.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry.the contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the front end of the vehicle started vibrating violently without warning.the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the center drive shaft bearing and the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred.the manufacturer was not notified of the problem and the contact was unaware of nhtsa campaign number: 10v036000 (equipment) .the approximate failure mileage was 14,700.
September 14, 2011 dear sir, about 10 days ago, my wife had a blowout of her right front tire with tread separation of the sidewall very near the tire tread.at that time, she also noticed on the right rear tire a large blister in approximately the same area that was bulging out several inches.as directed by toyota i took the 2011 camry le to the local toyota dealer (sparks toyota) in myrtle beach, sc.the service manager (chris ?) indicated that he thought we had hit something that damaged the sidewall on the front and rear tires.he showed me a miniscule scratch on the painted alloy rim that he thought may have been an impact area.i could hardly see it and it was too small to be photographed by my camera.he also said the tire was scuffed slightly but of course it was scuffed after the blowout by sudden deflation.the right rear tire he indicated also had been impacted which i could not see any apparent damage.i spoke with firestone by telephone and they indicated that since the technician had reported sidewall damage the warranty was no good due to impact. Quite frankly, we have not hit anything with either tire nor run over or scraped the sidewall on curbing.i feel that both of these tires were defective and toyota and firestone are covering up defective tires that need to be recalled.i am filing a complaint with the ntsb and also with the consumer products safety administration in washington d.c.
2011 camry with 27,373 miles entered traffic on fwy at 50+ mph started to shimmy violently engulfing me from all sides it was if car was possessed. In my 61 years i have never experienced anything like this. The radio cut out i felt pressure waves and noise throughout the car. I found a gas station just off fwy and checked the tires since that seemed the logical culprit, i found nothing unusual. To get home i had to drive about another 20 fwy miles keeping car at or under 60. I arrived at dealer and waited 3 1/2 hours before being shown possible problem. All 4 tires had what he referred to as "cupping," on the inside rim. That would explain the entire car turning into a freak-show like nothing i ever experienced. Their solution was to charge me for 4 new tires at retail. Mechanic said tires looked good and had 20,000 plus miles left. Why should i have to replace, (in my opinion), defected tires. Tires were not out of alignment if they were then the dealership is at fault since they did it. I examined all 4 tires in the bay while it was jacked up, no excessive wear showed. Who do i see that will take responsibility? these are bridgestone tires i thought were a solid brand. I went online to see if anyone had similar problems and found several. What would have happened to me if those 4 tires decided the pressure was too much and blew simultaneously, probably a hideous death!? wife drives the car it hers. She has had nothing but problems with transmission. She can't shift into gear until vehicle is warmed up and even then it is stiff and noisy. On a hill there was no grab it was if the car had no stop it literally took both feet one on brake other revving engine to keep from backing into a truck.
September 21, 2012 i just happened to check the air pressure of the tires (just bought a new tire pressure gauge) when i noticed a large bulge on the front driver side tire. I took it to my toyota dealer in round rock tx as directed by my service advisor.he indicated that the tire was pinched or hit something to cause this bulge and that toyota would not replace it under its original warranty.he told me to take it to the firestone store next door and see if they would replace it under warranty.needless to say they claimed that it was a road hazard and would not replace it.now, my wife and i have been driving a combined 62 years and we've never had a new tire blister like this, granted all the tire that came with the car and the subsequent ones we purchased were michelins.lot of similar complaints on these bridgestone oem tires on the internet.
Factory-installed tires were completely and dangerously worn thin at below 24k miles.tire air levels routinely fell below normal but toyota dealership (toyota of dallas) failed to notify at regularly scheduled maintenance appointments of tire wear.
Car was brought in for tire noise. It was determined that the tires were wearing unevenly due to misalignment. Since the dealer did an alignment in april i felt that this was unacceptable. After complaining for about a half an hour that this was the worst toyota i have ever bought (and i have had many).

Letter from congressman on behalf of constituent re two instances of total brake failure in 2011 toyota camry.the consumer stated she noticed the engine began to rev while depressing the brake pedal and then the traction light illuminated. Five minutes later, while approaching a red light, as she applied the brake to slow down, the vehicle made a loud noise then jerked forward repeatedly. The consumer had no choice, but to run the red light. As the consumer attempted to pull over, she applied the brake, but the pedal literally went all the way to the floor.the consumer stated the second time she experienced brake failure, it nearly caused her to crash into a barrier. After she brought the vehicle to a stop, the consumer smelled a burning odor.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were able to bring up the trouble codes. The first code, indicated an opening in the stoop light switch circuit and the second code was the abs traction actuator assembly and skid control ecu. The consumer stated despite the evidence, toyota refused to make any repairs.
Driver-side sun visor will not stay up. Distracts driving view.
The driver's side sun visor started to sag two or three years ago.recently it just hangs down in the driver's face and will not stay in the stowed position.toyota knows of the problem and has a warranty extension program to deal with it that i found out about when i went online to look for a replacement.i called toyota's customer satisfaction line and was told that my car's vin# falls outside the parameters of the program.the covered problem obviously exists on my vehicle.it is clearly a safety issue, as you cannot see out of the vehicle with the visor down.
We were hit at high rate of speed centered on the passenger's side front tire.the impact was pretty severe and the car has been totaled.no airbags in the car deployed and i was the passenger.i was injured in the crash.
Sun visor unexpectedly sagged down while driving on highway, and now permanently in the dropped down position. Quite a potential safety issue when 1/2 of your visibility suddenly gets blocked, and this issue seems quite commonly reported in online forum complaints.
My dashboard is melting & cracking . It is sticky to the touch and it\'s falling apart the glare from the melting dash is also an issue . I also have an issue with the drivers side vanity mirror it is broke and won\'t stay up . I had the same exact issues with my 2007 camry and toyota fixed the dash but they told me to go buy a new dashboard and pay for it myself for my 2011 they will not except blame and they will not help with the issuesthey pretty much told me tough luck . I am very upset with the condition of my dashboard and i am very upset at toyotas response to my issue .
Driver side sun visor snapped while lifting from down position - car was stationary - then it was dangling in front of window - couldn't see - had to pull it off in order to see roadway - now have no way to block the sun while driving.
Drivers side sun visor falling down not staying up. The base part of the sum visor becomes detached from the body of the sun visor making it hard to out the sun visor back up blocking the view of the driver. The vehicle was stationed when i first began to notice the sun visor fall half way down. After a long drive out of state, on the highway, the sun visor droped all the way down and would no longer stay up
I own a2011 toyota camry le . The sun visor on the drivers side becomes loose and keeps dropping. This is a driving hazard. Toyotacreated a warranty extensions (csp)for certain vehicles which did not include my particular vinhowever i believe this problem is widespread for 2007-20011 camry's. And toyota should cover all vehicles manufactured in that period.

Driving down the highway at 5:45 a.m., no cars in sight, i hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot.startled, i pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation.my sunroof had exploded without cause.it looked as if it was blown out from the inside.luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin.with no cars in sight, i quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris.it just randomly exploded without warning.the temperature outside of the vehicle was 46f and the digital climate control was set to 72f.i am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud.
My driver side sunvisor will not stay upthis is causing issues with being able to drive safely.
Drove down road keeping a constant 40-45mph.vehicle suddenly revs engine wildly to redline.car speed increases drastically to 65mph from 40-45mph.took foot off gas pedal and engine still accelerated.moments later engine went back to normal operating condition.
The sun visor detached on both sides. Started making a pop noise then never went back up after i tried blocking the sun in my face while driving.
The visor on the passenger side does not stay up any longer.
The dash is sticky and melting.
The windows consistently stick when in the up position. It is very difficult to put the window down. Many times the power window button has to be forced to get the window down. In addition, there is a residue that keeps appearing on the top of the window which sits on a rubber seal. The rubber seal at the top of the window is being worn. Concern: in the event of an emergency if the window needs to be opened it may fail to open.
My dashboard is melting. There is a warranty extension for 2011 camry's, but toyota say's my vin is not on the list for replacement. The car was stationary at the car wash.
Approximately one and 1/2 months ago (maybe longer?), the driver side sun visor starting to make a clicking noise when i moved it up (closed) and down (open). Tonight, it would not stay up and was blocking my view. I could not move it to the side to get it out my line of sight. I had to hold it up the rest of the way home in order to see the road safely.i ended up removing it completely when i got homein order to drive without it blocking my view of the road, which is a huge safety issue. Now i have no sun visor. I live in southern ca, drive east in morning & west in the evening. I have to replace/repair this as soon as possible.
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.
Exhaust backs up into cab of car when driving enter city or highway, and a very faint in noise in heating and/or air condition unite. Noticed all when purchased. Dealership claims they can't find the problem.
My drivers side visor started hanging down and eventually had to be removed due to not being able to see out the windshield with it in my way. I reached out to toyota and was informed that other 2007-2011 camrys had same issue but mine wasn't involved in the 7 year extended warranty for sun visors. I am now driving without a visor which is not safe!
Melting dashboard. Shiningand sticky
Sun visor not staying on desire position, keep falling - hard to drive car, no safe.
Dashboard is melting on my camry 2011.toyota has extended warantee on camry 2011 affected vehicles to 2017.it refses to pya for mime vecause it says the this vin is not covered.who will pay for my melting dashboard.
I have a defective 'shiny' dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry.apparently a recall was issued by toyota but this was not an active campaign.the dash is so shiny that on bright days the reflection of the sun onto the front windshield is concerning.a friend recently told me about the recall but when i took the car to my local toyota dealer i was told the recall campaign for my vehicle expired earlier in 2021.so, i want to lodge a complaint on the basis that while my toyota dealer routinely sends me mail asking to buy back my 2011 camry they never once told me about the recall.clearly the dealer knows my address and many details about the vehicle i purchased from them but still they avoided telling me about my participation in the shiny dash recall.
'takata recall'my car was forced into cement lane barrier on interstate and then bounced off and rear ended car in front of me. My airbags did not deploy.
Sun visor is falling down by its self, block my sight while driving. Its a very dangerous issue but i don't see any recall on this issued.thanks[xxx] *dlinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I noticed the windows getting hazy with a difficult to remove "film" and never knew why until i discovered that the dashboard is becoming sticky and shiny. I suspect the hazy film is coming from the disintegrating dash board. It is also becoming shiny and this is reflecting in the windshield. Seems like a repeat of what happened to my 2007 camry.
Drivers side sun visor rotates downward from the stored position & suddenly blocks the view of driver while operating the vehicle.
The sun visor dropped and does not hold. It blocked the visibility and suddenly had to press the brake while driving in highway.
Hello. I have purchased two new camrys, in 2007 and 2011. In both of them the sunvisors have come down and will not go back up in position. I purchased a new sun visor for the 2007 camry, when this happened, but now both of my sunvisors in my 2011 camry are doing the same. I am told there is not a recall on the 2011, but there is one on the 2007. This is the same issue in both vehicles, is there anything you all will do about this?
During the first half of 2015 my driver's side sun visor would not stay all the way and was about 15% of the way down.while this was in my line-of-sight it really did not impede my vision or ability to drive.mid-2015 the visor no longer was able to hold itself up and was fully down at all times completely impeded my ability to see the road as i am a taller driver.i had to remove it completely in order to drive the vehicle.there is an existing warranty but does not apply to my particular vin.in fact there are only two 2011 camrys that would be covered under wmi code 4t4.i know i purchased one of the first 2011 camrys as i purchased in may of 2010 (well ahead of the normal release cycle) when toyota went through their big (brake pedal / floor mat) recall. I only found out recently that there was a warranty available for at least a certain population of 2011 camrys.i have also found out that it is very common for the 2011 camry to have issue as many other owners have complained via different forums and have also confirmed that their particular vin is not covered.
Driver side sun visor making clicking sounds now has totally broken off, making driving dangerous. My window rubber sills are melting making windows still just like the dashboard melting
Visor came loose and would not stay up.....fell down blocking my view to drive.tried to push it to the side and came off the bracket in the roof.
Drivers side visor wont stay up cant see the road clearly
My drivers side sun visor all of a sudden started to fall, and it has become a obstruction while i am driving.it will not stay up
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.
When i take off and get to exactly 25 mph, i hear a thumping from the back passenger side of the car.sounds like thumping is coming from the tire.it only happens until it gets to 25 mph.when you go passed 25 mph it stops.i have taken the car to the dealership approximately five times and they never hear the noise.they tried to tell me that it was probably gas swishing around in the gas tank.it is a thumping, not a swishing.
The dashboard of my 2011 toyota camry se is melting. It is extremely sticky. The glossiness from the dashboard melting impairs my view when driving because of the glare it gives from the sun reflecting. I am scared of my safety as i live on a tropical/hot island location.
Number 1 issue. I have takata psan airbag inflators, that can rupture creating a personal injury or death. Number 2 issue. I have front wheel tires that seems to wear off within a year. My 4 wheels were replaced in 2015. I need the 3rd set today. Number 3 issue. My dashboard is extremely sticky.
Driver's sun visor falls down.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in place and blocks view of driver.i was told by local dealer that toyota does not cover replacement or repair of this problem.many others have posted similar problem on internet.this is an ongoing problem regardless of whether vehicle is stationary or in motion.
My dashboard is becoming a gooey mess. There is something that seems to be eating away the plastic and if you touch it you'll stick to it leaving behind an indention for life. The sticky film has caused a glare, from the sun,onto the windshield, causing me to hit a concrete barricade that would otherwise be visible. I had a crash with this concrete and it tore off part of the fender and headlight. I replaced the headlight but not the fender. Please fix this safety hazard so i can drive my granddaughter around soon.
Sun visor will not stay up and it falls down while i'm driving obstructing my view. I did receive a recall in the mail and called and was told my vin # is not one that is on the list.
The dashboard so sticky and melting
This vehicle was involved in a previous accident in the home driveway of the owners of the vehicle. As the owner was turning into his driveway, a tire blew out on the vehicle's right front passenger side. As the driver/owner hit the brake the car accelerated into the side rock barrier of the driveway. According to toyota who investigated the incident, there was no issue with vehicle. But another incident has recently happened involving the car this year on the incident date listed on this form. The wife of the owner of the vehicle was in the driveway operating the toyota camry 2011 to park the vehicle. As the car was turning to park in the driveway the operator pressed on the brake to back the vehicle back when all of a sudden without warning the vehicle leaped forward hitting the an exterior door to their basement which is surrounded by the rock that covers their home. The car was severely damaged, air bags were deployed and the operator sustained some injuries which caused her to visit the hospital and have medication prescribed to her. The impact on this second accident was so severe that is shown pictures of the incident you have to wonder how such an impact could happen unless their was fault in the vehicle. This time we are awaiting response from toyota to investigate this problem. We also wanted to contact the government to make known of this recurring issue with the braking or unintended acceleration of the vehicle.
Drivers side visor part broke and compromises drivers visibility. Driver bumps into visor with forehead when driving. Trunk latch at top was giving me trouble. Glove compartment doesn't always want to close very well. Foam around car door coming out.this has never happened to me before on any car i owned or have driven. This is obviously a defective part and should be replaced at toyota corporation expense. I love driving a camry but some of the parts inside are breaking and its disappointing.i used to have a 1994 camry that i purchased used in 2004, and it never had any of these problems. I also bought the 2011 camry used and love the way it drives.vehicle was stationary.

Pls pull my audio communications during march 2017 and dec 2018 please do a full fledged investigation on this issue. These are my demands# 1. I requested back in march 2017 while talking to your rep, to verify, if the tires sold to me were from a lot which sent with defects.a. This is very easy. Pull my tire number, get the plant reference, run by analysis by seeing number of complaints or run a load/stress test to see if there are no defect.b. I was given an explanation that it is not, don't think that anyone verified, gave 100% replacement and i paid only for install.2. Again when 2 tires burst on dec 2018, requested the same. A. The rep whom i talked to was very rude, refused to answer(pls pull the audio and listen the conversation) b. I did chat too. I was told that i may be give 25% and 35% discount only. C. I was told thatmichelin will not do that verification for any defects! 3. Due to above reasons, i lost the trust with the quality ofmichelin tires, henceended up buying good year tires. 4. First burst happened after 1266 miles (40221-38955) second bursts happened after 16419 miles (56640 - 40221) pls explain your assurances to an end consumer. Am i not allowed to get an explanation?
Sun visors on driver side and passenger side will not stay up when care is stationary or in motion
Dashboard has melted and become sticky. It causes a dangerous glare on the windshield when driving at night or in sunny conditions.
Takata recall- toyota has a recall on the 2007-2011 sun visors for the toyota camry however, they are refusing to pay for my sun visor because they say my vin number is not included.when you are driving the sun visor just fall down unexpected on the fwy and on the main streets which is a safety hazard while driving.toyota is refusing to replace the sun visor knowing that the 2011 have a problem. Toyota has place a recall on the sun visor which is posted on their website toyota.com
I bought my car in 11/2010.about 3 years later, the dashboard became sticky. I thought if was because of the heat.as time passed it got worse and it's causing a very bad glare.i was searching the web to see what causes this and came across an action suit against toyota for this problem.i also had the problem with my sun visors continuously dropping. This too was a problem many others were having with this model.i called toyota to see what they can do and they stated that there was nothing they could do since my vin # was not on the "list".i called the corporate office and they to said that there was nothing they can do.i will have to pay for it myself and "if in the future, they receive a change, they will reimburse me.i find this disturbing that since my car was not on the "list" yet i'm having the same problems other toyota owners are having, i do not qualify to get my car fixed.i wanted to pass the car down to my son, but before i do, i have to pay for the problems i'm having which will cost over 900.00.i am extremely disappointed and will not be buying my future car from toyota.
The dash board of the car seems to be melting as it is getting stcky as the days passes by and difficult to clean as you cannot pot your hand on it and if you try cleaning the melting plastic comes out scratching with cloth/fingers. It is driving hazard as in sum there is too much glare coming from sash board making it very hard to drive.as it cannot be cleaned the dust and other particles are getting accumulated on the dash.it is getting worse as days are passing
Car bought used with 40,000miles.i was driving 65+on 87n by exit 2 there was no accident; car towed. The vehicle failed;the clutch,flywheel,compressor,barring & axle were original and have now been replaced/repaired.about 72,500 miles on the car. Has this happened to other toyota camry 2011 cars?we returned home safe and sound. Blessed.
The visor of the vehicle has been dropping and now causing a safety hazard for me driving during the day and mostly at night as it hides half of my field of visibility when driving. I've called the dealership and toyota headquarters and everyone keeps stating the vin number falls out of the range for the extended warranty even though this link here says differently: http://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-toyota-camry-and-camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-4it says that there is an extended warranty for 7 years despite mileage for this dropping visor. It is affecting my driving on the road and being able to see because of their defect in visors for this car. I've tried taping it, pushing it back, forward, everything and nothing works. This visor defect has caused me anxiety while driving due to the lack of confidence in visibility not in my own self but in this toyota vehicle. I am simply requesting them to change the visor for me and help me resolve this to help eliminate this safety hazard but it seems they do not care about y safety or others on the road.
The read-outs for both the sound system and climate control are almost impossible to read most of the time, especially in daylight. It is a distraction that once caused me to almost have an accident, after which i don't try reading them while driving.
My car is burning too much oil . I asked my mechanic he told me there is problem of all 2011 toyota ( it burning too much oil)
I have a very bad case of sticky dash board wheni called toyota i told that my vin number was not one of the recalls . I was told that i can take it to the dealer for an inspection and that i will have to pay for it. I don't understand how just some of the cars that are of the same year, make and model are recalled but my is not. My dash board is melting and toyota need to take responsibility to correct this. I went to the before my car was still under warranty and was to told that that was ok and in the pass year the dash board is worst and i am have trouble driving due to the shine that glare on the glass is difficult to see as your driving. This is a serious problem and you can get in to an accident. This is during the daytime or night..
The sun visor on the passenger side has stopped holding it's place.i saw and read online that a lot of people that has 2007 to 2011 toyota camry has experienced the same issue but toyota has not done anything about it.
I am having problems with my dashboard melting and becoming very shiny and sticky. Because of the super shiny dash, my vision is obscured while trying to drive during the day.. Especially on my way to and from work as the sun is rising and setting. I contacted the local toyota dealership and was advised to call the corporate office for toyota america, which i did. Toyota america advised that there were no recalls or warranty enhancements for my car, as they are only active up to year models 2009 at this time. They did advise that for other year models, they are doing them case by case, assigned me a case number, and gave me instructions to go to the local dealership for inspection - which i did. After almost 2 weeks of waiting on a response, i called toyota just to be told my claim was denied due to the fact that it's not covered under an open recall or warranty enhancement and my standard warranty only covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The glare put off by my dash is a severe safety hazard, in that i can barely see out of my windshield when the sun is shining here in southeast georgia. The attached picture was taken on 10/16/2017 while parked in partial shade. Please help me and all of the other toyota owners dealing with this problem.
Majority of dash has a thick, sticky, shiny substance that makes seeing out the windshield very difficult.
Driver side sun visor fell of . Poor assembly
The sun roof on my toyota camry 2011 opens by itself, when i'm driving.it won't close until i stop driving.
-the dashboard has become very sticky and shiny and started to chip off. I noticed this after having my tire repaired the worker placed a number tag on top of dashboard and half of it was still stuck to it. When i pulled it off a couple of chunks of the dashboard came off with it.-i had noticed the dashboard was super shiny and reflected pretty bad on my windshieldmaking it hard to see clearly while driving. I am also started noticing a weird smell when i get in my car. Like a vinegar smell. So i am also concern about inhaling any bad fumes that the melting dashboard may be emitting. -i called toyota in redlands about the dashboardthey said camryā€™s 2011 models had had issues with the dashboard and that there had been a customer support program that were fixing the dashboard and had been extended twice but i missed the last extension by a month. I had never received a notice that there was an issue with the dashboards. Supposedly toyota sent the extended warranty in 2018. - i did inform the toyota in claremont after my tire service that the dashboard had been damaged after someone placed a number tag on it and they sent over a person who fixes dashboard and he was the one who also notified me that the dashboards were having an issue with the stickiness. That they had some type of recall. He ended up coming by to fix the areas that were pulled off from the paper number tag and was able to cover up the shine on the drivers side. There are still some areas that need to be filled in but he noticed that after he was done covering it up. He said i could call him if it bugs me to work on it again.the areas he filled in are noticeable.how long will the coverage even last? - iā€™ve been getting service done at the same location for about 10 years now and no one has ever brought to my attention that there was a recall on the dashboards or any issues with it. So i feel that toyota was hiding this issue from consumers until we noticed something about it ourselves.
Dashboardmelting with sticky residue causing high reflection on to windshield during daytime driving that causes an unbearable glare.please advise on replacement procedures under the warranty extension.
My driver's side sun visor suddenly broke while i was driving. It became floppy and dropped down into my direct line of site and almost caused an accident. It is my understanding that there is a recall on other 2011 camry's experiencing the same problem but my specific vin/vehicle does not qualify for repair. This is a huge liability for toyota and extremely scary for my son and my safety. I have owned three camry's and never experienced this type of problem. I just want my visor fixed! i have heard many others say the same thing. I feel they should expand the warranty policy to apply to all 2011 toyota camry's.
Driver side sun visor fell down would not stay up then after doing this for a few months , sun visor made a loud noise and broke off.sadly after calling dealership they could not tell me where or how to file a complainti'm sure that's why you do not have very many forms filled out. But the internet is all a buzz with this happing to their toyotas
Driver's side sun visor will not remain in "closed" position.flops/ falls down and significantly interferes with visibility through windshield.only remedy is to extend the visor totally open toward the windshield, however, this is still a nuisance.the visor cannot be completely removed or positioned in manner that is not obstructing view.other vehicles are included in a recall for this problem; however, not the vin for this 2011 toyota camry.don't understand why this vehicle is not included in the recall.
My wife and i are retired in florida.we parked our 2011 toyota camry xle with keyless ignition in our garage and brought the key fob with us into our home.my wife either did not push the engine off button hard enough or forgot to push the engine off button to turn off the engine.we did not hear the 3 short beeps telling us the engine was running and the key fob was removed from the vehicle.the garage is attached to our home.the vehicle was left running in our closed garage.carbon monoxide fumes entered our home causing headaches, nausea, and lethargy.our home carbon monoxide detector sounded an alarm.we investigated and found that we left the vehicle running in the garage for 90 minutes.the garage temperature was over 100(f) degrees.there was a large pool of water under the car from condensation from the car air conditioning compressor.we were sickened by the carbon monoxide fumes and came close to losing our lives.the keyless ignition option is too dangerous.there needs to be a change in design that turns off the engine when the key fob leaves the vehicle and the engine off button is not depressed.
Takata recall sun visors falling down.
Sun visor folded down and will not stay up and secured.my vin # is not covered under toyota's current ztt warranty extension.
Driver's side sun visor became loose and will not stay up. Fell down into view when driving. Visor finally fell off the swing arm and it is due to a cracked/separated plastic housing within the visor that the swing arm inserts into.
Dashboard melting i been complaining to toyota for a few years about this issue and the smell of melting dashboard and hazy windshield. The is a safety issue to me
My vin # does not seem to have any recalls about the sticky melting dashboard but my dash is completely sticky and getting worse day by day i have reached out to the local dealership on many different occasions but never get anywhere due to my vin # not having any open recalls what do i need to do?
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry le. The contact stated that for the last three months he smelled an odor inside the vehicle when he turned the air conditioner/heat off. After a while he became sick and was hospitalized, but they couldn't figure out what caused him to become sick. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised him that the filter underneath the glove box may need to be changed. They were able to duplicate the failure, smell the odor and a technician from the factory was notified. When the technician inspected the vehicle they advised him that they could not locate where the odor was came from; however, he added a special filter to the vehicle to keep the odor out. Within a few weeks he smelledthe strong odor again. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. The vin was unavailable.
2011 toyota camry...problem..sticky dashboard...i call toyota for some help...the tell me the not goin to fix
The visor on the passenger side suddenly started drooping while i was driving causing me not to be able to see. I had to remove. Toyota has a recall, but not for my car.
The right visor was already hanging, would not stow, but while driving today the driver side visor snapped and was hanging in front of my face to where i could not see the road.it happened while driving, which was bad enough, but then i ripped the thing off so i could see.this really should not be happening.there are so many of these incidents, and apparently my vehicle is not included on the current list.unacceptable.
As i am checking my credit report i decided to look at the vehicle report an i see recalls that i never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now i hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as i stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as i have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but i was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, i had taken my vehicle to several toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see t find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as i was on the freeway i had to get off immediately.
Sun visor broke and will just hang which obscures view when driving there is a recall from toyota but will not fix item
My driver side sun visor has came unhinged on its own. I am able to temporarily place it back on the hook by pulling the plastic open that surrounds the brackets so it can operate as a sunvisor should. But if i go over a bump then it is likely to come unhooked and obstruct my vision by leaning while only supported by the small catch hook. This is a major safety concern. At times it completely falls into my lap as i am driving or i will get into the car and the visor will be laying on the seat. It falls off when the car is stable and in motion. It also will not close up. So if i need it closed (i.e at night) then i have to take it off. My mother has driven my car and she is shorter than me so she sits closer there the wheel. She informed me that while driving, the visor fell off and hit her on the head. Big issue! it is somewhat expensive to replace and is a manufacturer defect that they should fix. It seems the "safest" thing to do besides replace it is to not have the visor up but that it's the sole reason for having a sun visor... To block the sun... Yet it does not effectively serve it's purpose without risk. The passenger side is rarely used but will make clicking sounds in every position it is moved to so i'm sure it will break soon also. So i checked out toyota recall/warranty and apparently only a few of the 2011 vehicles fall in the covered range although this seems to be a problem for more than those few. I would appreciate if nhtsa would investigate this issue further. This is not just a cosmetic concern. Obstructed vision is very dangerous. I fall within the make, model, and year range but not the vin range for repair, which is crazy! any of the toyota's with this issue that meet the basic criteria should qualify regardless of the product supplier for that vin. Seems to be a way to spend less fixing by covering less vehicles and not considering safety.

I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. The sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. It is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. Subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. I consulted a toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. Considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of toyotas of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the nhtsa should consider issuing a recall for this issue.
I see that there was a recall on this and my dealer has not notified me and i was unaware of the load issue.how do i handle this - jones junction in bel air, md is the dealer.i have a 2011 camry le.southeast toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 toyota tundra, 2010-2012 rav4, 2012 toyota sequoia, 2010-2011 toyota corolla, 2010-2011 toyota camry and camry hybrid, 2010-2013 toyota highlander and highlander hybrid, 2010-2013 toyota fj cruiser, 2011 toyota land cruiser, 2010-2013 toyota venza, 2010-2011 toyota 4runner, 2010-2013 toyota tacoma, 2011-2012 toyota sienna, 2012 toyota prius, 2013 scion fr-s, 2011 scion xd, 2011 scion xb, and 2012 scion tc vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 110, "tire selection and rims."
The sun visor on the driver side could not stay up and was eventually broken off completely which creates safety issue when the driver is facing the sun. Toyota previously offered extended warranty for camry from 2007-2011 but my 2011 was not within the vin range covered under extended warranty.
A while back i was pulling in my yard and my visor flipped down causing me to panic and blind my view then when i panicked i accedently hit the gas and drove into my mobile home causing damage to my home and about 2000 dollars of damage to my cari wrote toyota and they refused to pay for damage
On friday july 13th i was pulling into a parking spot in a private lot when all of a sudden, with my foot firmly on the brake my car suddenly and violently accelerated, for a second or two hitting a van directly in front of me and also the suv to the left of the van damaging the right back bumper. The van was hit so hard, it was pushed about 20 feet hitting another vehicle and rolled back hitting my car. The van was in park, which caused transmission damage, and not sure what other damage it had. Toyota was called and they sent a representative out to exam the car and do some diagnostic testing.that was on july 25th..it can take up to a month to get thoseresults . I will not drive this car since this happened. As far as i can see, there were no recalls for this problems with my car.
My dashboard is melting and sticky.a toyota internal memo to its dealers stares thay my model and year are coverer in an extended warrantee to replace the dash.when i called vtoyoto i was told my car vin is excluded.i asked why my car with the same problem an same model and year is not covered.i got no ansewr.i was told that i could go to a dealer for an inspection of the problem but i would have to pay an inspection fee.i want the das replaced free of charge.
I was in a line of cars in the take-out line at burger king waiting to place my order.the transmission was in drive and my right foot was on the brake pedal.the engine suddenly accelerated.i put my left foot also on the brake, but with both feet and all my strength felt the car going forward.so as not to strike the car in front of me, i turned sharply to the left and plowed into the curb, went over the curb, hit a large bush trunk, through the bust, mulch and another bust.the engine raced out of control and could not be held by the brake.
I was slowed pulling into a parking spot.the car suddenly gave a roaring sound and headed full speed ahead.i assume i must have let my foot slip onto the gas but i'm not sure that is what happened. I thought i'd report to see if anyone else's incurs a problem.i was assured the sudden acceleration problem did not exist on the 2011's.the force was so hard, it knocked a toyota truck in front of me out of the parking space and into the street.it was not drivable and had to be towed.i also took out the van beside me.my camry suffered bumper and lights damage and a slight ripple to the hood.the damage was unbelievably slight considering the damage to the other two vehicles.

She shifted to neutral and pumped the break and it stopped, then happened again a few minutes later and she did the same thing this time pulling over and restarting the car. Last week my father had the same problem on a stretch of open highway and pumped the breaks and accelerator and it stopped. He took it to the dealer who filed a report with toyota. They said nothing was wrong with the car and recommended giving the car back to my 84 year old father as is. Dad spent an additional 12,000 dollars to trade it in. Toyota took no responsibility and did not even offer a break on a trade in. Concerned the car will go to another family that might not be as lucky as my dad ( driving straight on an open stretch of highway)

Heading east on rt. 41 and uponintering an intersection on a green ligth i slowed to allow 2 cars to pass from the oncomingeast traffic before making a left turnnorth onto a 4 lane street.upon accelerating to make the turn, the car hit the right curb at a high rate of speed causing me to quickly steer to the left to stop me from hitting the on coming traffic from the north..i managed to cross two lanes but in the third lane was hit by an oncomingsouth bound vehicle..my car was then stopped by the left hand curb. The other vehicle was demolished and $8,000 damage was caused to my front end.the air bags in the demolished car were deployed but mine were not.i feel as though the vehicle suddenly excelerated causing the accident so after having the car repaired and checked i could not feel safe in it so traded it off the one that i could.*ln
Abs/esp system failure & random engine revving before wreckthe rear wheels/brakes on my 2011 toyota camry locked up and caused me to lose control of the car and crash into a tree.i was accelerating to 40 mph, until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph (by roughly 1 mph).i removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left.as soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm and i was also able to regain some control of the car.i was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car.as the car was about to go off the road, i was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.the alabama state trooper who came and tried to assist me was very unfriendly and appeared to have a uncooperative attitude.the adrenaline rush took over me, causing me to jump up and down and make my wallet fall out of my pocket. It fell into a pile of leaves, which were the same color of the wallet (light leather brown).long story short, the officer gave me a citation for not having my license with me when i was driving, but i did and he refused to take away the citation.the officer also said that he would write me up for reckless driving, which i would not understand why he would do that, if the rear brakes locked up in my car.

Change in gears jerky and between 20-40mph the car drags during acceleration it feel like something is trying to pull the car back.when it finally moves to the next gear it jumps into gear. I have complained to toyota many time and as usual once taken to the dealer to check no one seems to be able to recreate the problem. I am disappointed in toyota, i have always driven toyota and finally decided to buy a new car due to traveling to work long distances and gave my daughter my 1999 camry which i like driving better than my new one.

New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, i was approaching a red light and began to slow down.upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when i applied my foot to the breaks they would not work.as i approached the intersection, i made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and i would have been in a terrible accident.the road was not wet but it had rained earlier in the day and the road was dry. I returned vehicle to dealer and was told they could not repeat the situation and everything was okay.they told me that even if the road is dry once it rains, the road can still have particles on it that cause the abs to kick in. This continued to happen intermittently about once a month.in the past month, it has happened every few days.my son was driving the car in late feb. And he went over a very small pile of leaves that would not warrant the abs to kick in.he too was almost involved in a wreck.car went back to dealer but dealer can find what was wrong. The abs severely reacts when it should not be doing so.the abs is engaging when it should not be doing so.if one goes over a road that is barely wet or a small patch of drive leaves, as i did the other night, the abs kicks in and locks up the car. When i touch on the breaks lightly coming to a stop, there are no breaks and then they suddenly grab really hard.breaks feel like air is in the line.this did not occur until they put new breaks in my car at 30,000 miles.in addition, the transmission is whining, shifting roughly and not shifting when it is supposed to.my vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week and they said they will be keeping it at least until this coming wed. When a toyota field inspector will be coming to inspect the car.

Pulling in to ballgame last night on the grassy area to park car.foot on the brake not on the gas,car accelerated so hard it threw my head back against the head rest,thank god there were no children in front of me.taking car in to be checked.very upset by this.toyota dealership said i would have to pay them if they could not find out what the problem is even though my car is under warranty and there are numberous complaints all over the united states of the same problem with the same model and year.
There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting.

I was returning home from themall in pottsville, pa. I drove down the roadway next to the mall to the stop sign. I was able to stop the car at that time. I proceeded to turn to the left out the driveway of the mall. The driveway of the mall is pretty long and on a steep hill.i attempted to apply my brakes at the top of the hill. There was pressure on the brake but nothing happened. The car continued to accelerate forward. I didn't want to continue down the steep hill knowing the brakes weren't working and crash into the van at the bottom of the hill so i decided to turn to the right sharply on a drive that curved around to a neighboring store next to the mall (going almost back uphill at this time). Still no brakes so i decided to hit the curb to stop the vehicle and prevent hitting any other vehicle.what is extremely odd is that even though my foot was not on the accelerator and was on the brake pedal and i turned sharply and going slightly uphill there was no change in the acceleration of the car. I had no choice but to hit the curb to stop the car.i put the car in reverse and back off of the curb. I proceeded down the hill again. Still no brakes. I could feel the pressure on the brake pedal but the brakes just didn't work. I had to turn the car to the right and hit the curb again next to the lane i was in.so when there was no traffic and the light at the bottom of the hill turned green i proceeded down the hill and turned right onto rt 61 s. I immediately tried the brake again and nothing. So in order to stop the car i applied the emergency brake. This of course caused the car to spin but at least the car stopped. I put the car in neutral and then used the clutch less shifting to control the speed of the car and returned home. Toyota has retained an inspector to inspect the car today at the dealership today 2/27/12.
The speedometer is inaccurate by almost 10%,when driving by radars or with another vehicle at 35 mph the radar reads 32.driving next to another vehicle to check the speedometer, it reads 70 mph but the other vehicle's speedometer reads 64 mph.the dealership has verified the inaccuracy but claims the variance is within the spec of 10%.per the dealer and it's experts the speedometer cannot be calibrated or fixed since it is in spec.

This has happened several times in virtually identical scenarios but the most recent was as follows: i was driving in moderately heavy traffic on a three lane divided street with traffic signals. Traffic was fluctuating between "stop & go" and approximately 30 mph. After a traffic light turned green, i began accelerating at a relatively rapid pace when a vehicle cut directly in front of me and braked. I immediately stepped on the brake but felt a tremendous amount of resistance from the pedal and the car was barely able to stop in time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. I noticed that as i was attempting to brake, the engine was still revving at a high rate from the acceleration attempt. It seems that there is some type of problem with the braking system whereby if the engine is revving the brake will fail even if the accelerator pedal is no longer being pressed. A very important detail is that each time this has happened it has been within the first few seconds of a quick acceleration from a complete stop or a crawl. I have never had this problem when trying to stop from a normal speed.

Ever since i bought the car (4 cyl., xle) a year ago:automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up;it coasts a few inches after i put it into park, even on level ground.power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces.cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem.dealer's service dept. Claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design.
I was in a slow lane of traffic going around a mail carrier. Suddenly, my car sped up, on its' own. I had to avoid the car in front of me and met about 4-5 cars head on.thank goodness, the cars i was meeting pulled off the road and let me zoom thru.

Just 5 second after pulling out from parking space, while going around the school bus and trying to avoid the car going toward me, pushed the accelerator pedal. The car speed up at whole power and i was not able to stop it. It filed approximately 90 feet reaching speed at least 50 mph in approximately 1-2 second. I was trying to push the pedal to stop it, and atthe same time trying to avoid collision with the traffic in front of me, i managed to jump on a curb and eventually stopped after hitting a building and after my car flipped on the driver side. I strongly believe something, inside the car (either mechanical or automatic system) prevented me stopping the car timely. There was no injury, building were damaged just slightly, my car was destroyed , but it has a full coverage. The whole crash was tapped by a security camera. It clearly shows the acceleration of the car, which everybody, who watched it,believe couldn't bedone by person, but mostly by a car itself. That simply looks for me something the same as it was in previous toyota recalls.
My vehicle's accelerator behaved oddly when my vehicle would not slow done.instead my vehicle accelerated faster resulting in my vehicle becoming involved in a collision.it also has me very concerned that my airbags never deployed given the severity of my accident due to the speed at which my vehicle reached.

Whenever i am stopped and put my foot on the accelerator, the car shoots forward rapidly. This does not happen when the car is already in motion--only when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign, or when i first get into the car and begin travel. I am conscious of this and really try to ease down on the accelerator, but i still notice a sudden increase in speed, one i have never experienced before in other cars i have owned (i am in my 60s and have owned and driven many vehicles.) i am concerned about this for safety reasons in a busy intersection and also don't want to cause my passengers or myself whiplash or discomfort with a sudden start.

Vehicle was being driven on a dirt road, going around a corner, the vehicle did not slow down and went off the road and skidded alongside the road for about 30 ft.the vehicle then hit a few small stumps, still without slowing down, and finally slammed into a large tree.the impact in which the car hit the tree was so strong that the back end of the car rose up into the air and stayed in that vertical position. Only the tail lights were still visible from the road after the car slammed into the tree and stopped.if the tree hadn't been hit, the car would have continued down the hillside into the bottom of a ravine, about another 40 ft.the entire front drivers side was shoved almost to the windshield and not one of the airbags deployed. The entire drivers side of the motor and hood were destroyed, the battery was crushed and leaking acid everywhere and was sitting behind the front tire and the hood was "v" shaped and pushed into the windshield. There were no skid marks so clearly the brakes weren't functioning properly either, also the speed in which the vehicle went into the tree shows that the acceleration was faulty because the vehicle wouldn't slow down.the drivers face slammed into the steering wheel and broke her nose and received a possible concussion because the airbags failed to deploy, along with numerous bruises and scratches.the damage is so severe that the car is a total loss but still we are left wondering why the airbags didn't go off.if the driver hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, it is very likely that she would have been thrown straight through the windshield and it would have been a fatality.we have pictures of the vehicle and the scene of the accident to show just how serious and dangerous this is.we would like to have answers as to why a vehicle with such high crash test ratings would fail to provide adequate safety to the driver.
I was slowly pulling into a parking space adjacent to the putting green at my condominium.my foot was on the brake pedal when the car suddenly surged forward, jumped the curb, and hit a concrete bench placed at the edge of the green.the brake did not work.the impact was so forceful it destroyed the bench, and the car had to be jacked up to get it off a large piece of concrete.thank goodness the golfer was not close to the car.the car was subsequently repaired for $2,410.58 in damages. Being afraid that this "sudden acceleration" would occur again, i traded the car in for a different brand.because of "frame damage" (which goes to show the force and speed of impact), i only received $10,000 for my trade-in instead of the $14,000 blue book/edmunds/nada value.
As i pulled on to the driveway at a funeral home, my car started speeding, crashed into a brick wall, at which the air bag popped open, the car bounced off the wall, started spinning in circles, crashed over a concrete barrier, and started spinning again and crashed into another car which was totaled.i thought i was applying the brakes & even tried to turn the car off with the key. But after the crash people asked me if i had my foot on the accelerator, and i said i must have, but couldn't understand how i could have mistaken one for the other.i have been driving since 18 years of age, and have never had that happen. I couldn't understand how and told my doctor i was afraid to drive again (4 days after the accident)he told me to wait a month or two until i was feeling better from the severe sprain to my neck and shoulder, and bad bruising of my breast about a month ago my brother in florida told me about problems with my model of toyota with the accelerator sticking.i never really thought about that could have been the cause, nothing else made sense to me unless i was loosing my mind, and everybody i know assure me "no"

2011 toyota camry.consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden acceleration.the consumer stated her foot was on the brake, when the vehicle suddenly bucked forward and crashed into the rear of her son's vehicle. The local toyota dealer, informed the consumer, most of the accidents, were caused my the floor mats. The consumer stated she had thick mats, that did not get caught under the gas pedal.
July 2016 i was pulling away from my bank atm at approx.2-5 mph in my 2011 toyota camry when the car took off.the car accelerated so fast. I hit the brakes but it didn't stop the car. I missed a car and a van, went up over the parking block and hit a pole. That stopped me!i had 2 passengers in the car.somehow no one got hurt.i had 3 blown tires and the right side window broken out with damage to that door.the front bumper was pulled from the body. The car has damage to the tie rod and will have to be replaced. Front end alignment will also have to be done.my car had to be towed home. Airbags did not deploy. I called the dealership from which i bought it from but it's been over 10 days and several phone calls with no response. This seems to be a problem with 2011 camry's from the complaints i have read.when will something be done about this, after a death?the problem needs to be addressed asap.
I was driving along on a city streetat night and suddenly both the check engine and trac off lights illuminated and the vehicle lost speed. I tried depressing the accelerator all the way, but the speed could not exceed25 mph. So, i took it to the dealer and the diagnostic obd-ii code was p2128. As a result they replaced the accelerator pedal that was diagnosed as open circuit 552011.the cost was covered by manufacturer warranty. My concern is that if it happened while i was driving on a highway, i would not be here now to report it. Also, i was under the impression that toyota had resolved this issue.

At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that i have seen on interstate, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very bad. The car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredictable jumping behavior. Well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing..........this problem have happened since i bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. I have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but i have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until i bought this camry. After reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. This problem needs immediate attentions.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact was attempting to park in a parking garage at approximately 5 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The front end of the vehicle jumped as the contact attempted to brake but the vehicle would not respond. The contact was unable to stop the abnormal acceleration and crashed into a concrete wall. The contact shifted into park and turned the vehicle off, yet the engine rpms continued to idle extremely high. The contact sustained injuries to the shoulder and neck. A police report was filed.the vehicle was towed to a paint & auto body shopand the manufacturer sent an engineer to inspect the black box. The engineer advised that the vehicle was traveling at 45 mph when it crashed into the concrete wall. The engineer determined that the brake was not applied when the failure occurred and that the incident was caused by driver error and not a manufacturing defect.the auto body shop replaced the front end bumper, steering cable and the radiator.

The sun visor stopped working properly and would not stay up or would not stay where i put it and would affect my visibility when driving.ultimately, the visor became detached.this is apparently a known problem to toyota.my vehicle (a 2011 camry) is not within the "extended warranty" coverage that toyota has implemented for this known problem.it doesn't make sense that toyota knows the sun visor is a problem, has recalled some vehicles because of this problem, but refuses to include other vehicles--manufactured in the same year as those vehicles included in the recall, no less--that are also experiencing the same problem.if you can "encourage" or force toyota to extend their "extended warranty"/sun visor recall to other vehicles experiencing the same problem, i would appreciate it.as it is now, i will have to pay out of pocket for the repair, and this will be a hardship as my family is experiencing severe financial problems.
Yesterday while my husband was driving home, the driver's side sun visor broke.we researched it on the internet to see how to fix it.when we did, we saw that there was a warranty policy bulletin out for 2007 - 2011 toyota camrys for this exact problem.there was a video and our sun visor did exactly what the video showed.however, there are a limited amount of camrys which it covers.our camry does not fall within that range.on further research, we found that there are many others who have experienced this same issue but weren't covered because of their vin didn't fall within the range.i have never had any problems with toyota before.we own four toyotas and have never had an issue like this.also, the passenger side visor is popping and won't go up all the way.please advise me as to what i need to do.thank you.
Driver sun visor broke off.i went to a toyota dealer to get this fixed the day after it fell and was there for over an 1 hr. The part is on back order and i paid $90.99 for the part and the part is on back order for 3 to 6 weeks.i called toyota services and after being on the line forone hour, toyota will reimburse the part; but not the labor; which will be over $30.00.the reimbursement will also take several weeks.i looked on youtube and it seems that this is a factory defect that is affecting several toyota camry's since 2007; mine is a 2011.i was told since this item is not in a recall i won't be reimbursed completely.please order them to fix this defect.
Toyota camry sun visor assemblies(2007-2011) warranty enhancementi was driving home on the garden state highway, easter night 2017, when the sun visoron my 2011 camry just dropped down. I couldn't get the visor to stay up and had to drive with one hand holding it up until i could pull over. Ultimately, the entire visor separated from the holder. I later learned online that there has been a warranty support program(ztt) issued by toyota 8/1/12on sun visor assemblies and sun visor brackets on certain toyota 2007-2011 camry''s. Toyota has announced a customer support program to cover of the sun visor assemblies/brackets for 7 years from date of first use regardless of mileage.since my car is going to be six years old in august, i have contacted toyota via email and they have respondedthatmy car does not fall underapplicable vin ranges.apparently this defect is not just in the cars with those applicable vin numbers, but in far more cars.

My drivers side sun visor does not stay up thus impeding my vision when i drive. I was told by the dealer that this has been a continuous problem and was a recall on previous models since 2007.unfortunately they require you to purchase the entire visor and will not fix this problem. I contacted toyota and they informed me that toyota will do nothing about this problem. The dealer wants one hundred and twenty dollars to replace it. They said it was a big problem with the camry.

The sunvisor on the driver side falls down blocking the drivers vision.this is a serious safety issue that could lead to the loss of life.this should be a recall.toyota has recalled some vehicles with this same problem but only ones with a certain vin number.mine is not covered and no notice was received from toyota.the repair of this i am on my own!i should of been contacted by toyota and the vehicle should be recalled!i wonder how many accidents or near accidents there has been?it is only a matter of time before someone dies!
The problem with the car is the sun visors. First they started to hang low wouldn't stay up. One day on my way back home from work i was driving in the highway, they just completely fell. I had to hold them up the whole entire time i was driving. They kept blocking my view and they were distracting and a safety hazard. Toyota refuses to fix them cause they are no longer cover under warranty.
Driver side sun visor malfunction. Won't stay folded, dropped down 30 degree and affect drivers visibility.
A while back i was pulling in my yard and my visor flipped down causing me to panic and blind my view then when i panicked i accedently hit the gas and drove into my mobile home causing damage to my home and about 2000 dollars of damage to my cari wrote toyota and they refused to pay for damage

I bought a 2011 toyota camry two and a half months ago--problem is the rear window during night driving on the freeway with many car headlights hitting the window and the rearview(mirror-- the image on the rear view mirror is like viewing a wet spider web with a scintillating grid because of the wires embedded in the glass,(whether for defrost or radio reception ido not know)this grid in the rear window causes a distorted image --it is a dangerous situation because the image suffers from'image static' which causes the driver to sort out the headlights from the 'static'--it is very tiresome drivingat night on the freeway--try it and you should see there is something not right--i have never experienced this in other cars--it is unsafe, the window should not break up the light coming through it -very distracting.

I have a 2011 toyota camry se. At around 5,000 miles when it was time to take it in for service, oil change, tire rotation etc. I had a type of squeaking crackling noise that i would hear when pulling in and out of driveway. I took it in and toyota service department knew right away what it was. It was the supports for the sunroof that needed to be fixed. They advised that the noise would only get louder and louder. They had it there for two days gluing/bonding supports.on august 10, 2011 i was driving my car when i heard a loud explosion. I looked at all my glass windows and didn't notice what had until glass was flying on the passenger side of the car. I pulled over and that is when i saw my sunroof glass broken. The strange thing about the glass was that it looked a volcano. It was shattered from the outer part of the sunroof glass to the middle. Almost like there was pressure built up and it only had one way of shooting up and out. I called toyota to make an appointment for that day. I went in that afternoon and explained everything i just wrote to their service department. I also mentioned that the work order history had where they fixed the supports on the sunroof/ he said they would look at the car tomorrow and let me know.i received a phone call from them the next day stating that i had to get a hold of my insurance claim adjuster so they could go look at damages. He had talked to toyota warranty department and they came to a conclusion that they were not going to cover damages. He stated that it seemed like a rock had hit it. I spent the next 10 days waiting for my car to get fixed and on top of everything, i had to pay rental fees for the 10 days because toyota does not offer free rental service to customers. They also don't direct bill your insurance company so you can pay only the percent stated on insurance policy. I had to pay them the full amount and take it up with my insurance. I paid my insurance deductible and then took the car.

Drivers side sun visor broke about 3 weeks ago and and came off.toyota advises so many are on back order that they cannot give me an eta. They are replacing for free because they have a defect.i was driving today facing the west with no sun visor to block the sun.i was driving approximately 50-55 miles per hour on a busy road.it was impossible to see when the sun suddenly hit me in the face, not once or twice but numerous times causing me to slam on my brakes because i did not want to cross the center line or hit an embankment or ditch. Toyota has known about the defect for nearly 7 years.
On the way to work driving on the highway, the drivers side sun visor flopped down and made me jump and hit my forehead on it. Now it will not go back in to place, just flops around. Seems something inside split apart on the top by the arm holding it. Startled me and it was a pain all the way in. Had to hold it up to be able to see good. I then called my local dealer (after reading info online) to see if it was covered under the extended warranty i read about and he laughed. Never offered to check, just said he was not surprised and that i was not alone and that everyone out there has a broken one.i then called toyota and was informed that my car was not included in extension. They were very nice but could not answer why only some were and some weren't even though they had the same ongoing problems. Guess those of us not covered will have to fix at our own expense even though it is a known problem and some cars made the same year are covered. Interesting way to do business...
Mynew car has a 'vor' lens which results in half the windshield darkened during low beam use. This 'ece' style lighting is totally distracting and i believe dangerous in a dark, rural setting. Motorists are refusing to 'beam down' when approachingsince they're uncomfortable with half the windshield dark! off the main roadway has it's problems when more than half the window becomes very dark, very quickly. Over use of high beams will have unintended consequences. Original sae lighting should be available for retrofit for the north american market.
I started hearing a popping sound when i would close my driver side sun visor. Eventually, it would not close completely, it would hang a little bit. Eventually, it stated hanging to where it was always down. Finally, the mount (or whatever the part is that it clips into) broke off so i had to remove it. Now that it is much sunnier most days, it makes it very hard to drive the car without the sun visor, also, i am now starting to hear the popping sound on the passenger sun visor and it is starting to hang a little bit.
On my toyota camry '07 xle my passenger's sun visor started to fail to stay upright. Broke and fell offit's hinge while driving the car. Took it to the dealer and there's no warranty or recall.car only has 31000 miles.while doing research, encountered that is a current incident among this car owners.
Sun visor drooping then falling off. Not honored under toyota pol12-03 even though the vin range is within the policy. No replacement offered by toyota.
While driving on the highway and city streets the drivers side sunvisor flops down and must be taped up to the head liner untill its replaced. This is now the third drivers side sunvisor i have had to replace. All the used auto parts dealers say that as soon as one comes in its sold. The price has gone up from the first time i had to repalce it untill now from $135.00 the first time to now $250.00
Driver side visor would stay in place
Sun visor on driver's side dropped as vehicle was in motion. Drastically obstructed my view of the highway. Had to fumble with visor while driving in traffic.
Takata recall sun visors falling down.
Driver-side sun visor will not stay up. Distracts driving view.
Both the passenger and driver sun visors fell down and would not stay up. They eventually rotted and detached from the vehicle. The sun beams into my eyes as i am driving and this could potentially be dangerous.
Driver side sun visor dropped down and will not stay up. It blocks the view of the road. Now, the visor has come completely off, while i was trying to get it to stay back up.searched online and found that there is a safety recall for 2007-2011 camrys for this issue. Customer support program ztt warranty extension for sun visor assembly and bracket. I contacted the dealer and toyota, they both said that my vin is not covered. Obviously, there are other camrys being affected by this issue, that they are not covering.
The sun visor on the drive side went into the down position and when i tried to put it back up it would not stay. After a few days the entire visor fell off. Not long after the the passenger side did the same thing. Have not heard anything from toyota. I was told it was only certainvehicles. Still waiting to hear if mines is one of them.
The driver side sunvisor will not stay up making it uncomfortable to drive as it interferes with visibility.it does not help block sunlight as the driver can not adjust it to block incoming light.
Visor came loose and would not stay up.....fell down blocking my view to drive.tried to push it to the side and came off the bracket in the roof.
Driver side sun visor has failed.toyota is aware of the problem but my vin is not included in their warranty extension ztt and has refused to replace it free of charge. This is a safety issue as it will just drop into the fully extended position obstructing my view of the roadway and distracting me as a reach to manipulate it out of my view.
Sun visor will not stay up which obstructs view. This happened over time and is a common problem for these cars from 2007-2011.
The drivers side sun visor, while positioned in trhe retaining clip, continues to rotate downward, hampering the drivers view.condition is worsening with time.

Both sun visors broke within one week apart. The hinge of the sun visor stopped working causing visor to hang in the field of vision.there was no warning leading up to the incident.
Sun visor will spontaneously fall down blocking visibility. The locking mechanism that allows the visor to stay in one place is defective and it is unable to hold the visor in the up position. This also creates a hazard getting into the car, as a taller individual inevitably will slam his head on the visor as it is always stuck in the down position. This happens both while stationary and especially while driving. This is an accident waiting to happen.
On 5/19/17 the driver side sun visor suddenly began to not stay in the resting position. It does not stay in the position towards the windshield anymore either. It just hangs straight down. It will not stay up at all. This is a known issue on these vehicles. Toyota had issued a warranty extension but only for certain vin numbers. My vin does not fall within the range. I came across this web forum where numerous people have posted with similar problems http://j.mp/2qu53vo here are links to the toyota documents outlining the problem, the warranty extension, and applicable vins. Http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/pol12-03.pdf http://media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/ztt-dlrltr.pdfi contacted toyota and they confirmed that my vin is not included and there was nothing more they could do for me. I have attached the response email from them and case number. This is not just an annoyance, it is a safety issue as it inhibits my view of the road.
I noticed the sun visor starting to sag a bit when i put it up to use itor when i closed it. It had done this for a couple months and i thought nothing of it. However one day when i was on the highway traveling at highway speed using it, it fell down and wouldnt go back up into position to use it or to store it away. It was blocking my field of vision and with the sun facing me face that too was blocking my field of vision. I almost rear ended another car but luckily was able to slow down in time. Apparently there is a problem with the sun visors but my vin is out of the range of the ones supposedly affected.

Drivers side sunvisor has failed while driving on interstate. It blocked my view and almost caused a wreck.
While driving, the driver-side sun visor drooped down and could no longer support itself. This safety issue resulted in a dangerous obstruction of view. I've had to remove the sun visor until it can be repaired.
Driver side sun visor is not holding its position and has become a hazardous since it blocks normal visibility when dangling. Called toyota dealer and they said there is no recall and customer has to pay for the replacement. Under normal to light uses the inside mechanism broke. 2007 model had a recall for early breakdown. But 2011 model i believe has same parts but was not recalled or fixed. Toyota is providing cheap quality parts and pushing the burden to the consumer. This condition is subject to hazardous condition and should be recalled by toyota. I request nhtsa to investigate this matter and make toyota to recall this parts.
The sunvisor won't stay up.
Passenger side shade visor sagged down and will not stay in place.this happened on my 2011 camry se, same thing happened on my 2007 camry se and a recall fixed that.why is this 2011 camry to be repaired by toyota as was the 2007?also, the sun roof has been noisy since i bought the car aug 31, 2010. Why is that not recalled.?am i the only one with these issues?
Toyota has already implemented a csp ( vtt) covering failing sunvisor hinges on camrys from 2007-2011. Mine has failed. After calling the local dealer i am told that my vin number is approximately 25000 too high ( translation we have fixed the problem before that point. They have not. It is the exact same failure described. As an engineer i understand that this would not be the first time that a problem was believed to be solved but was not.no real need for a photo to document the condition, the hinge that provides sufficient friction to insure that the visor stays where you placed it has broken the plastic and now flops uselessly around. It will not stay in the desired position
2011 camry sunvisor became loose and hung down interfering with my view.i tried different methods to hold it up, but they did not work.i removed the sunvisor so it wouldn't block my view, but since at some times during the year i am driving into the direction of the sun, it makes it very hard to see what is in front of the vehicle.toyota has provided an extended warranty for this defect, but only for certain vin's.the vin list is very limited, and does not cover my vehicle (although it is the same problem).toyota has called this a warranty problem (pol12-03) and not a safety recall, but it is definitely a safety item.
While approaching an intersection, the sun visor just dropped down, blocking my view of the intersection and traffic light
This vehicle has approximately 22 thousand miles, and the problem is with the sun visors that come down unexpectedly and block view of the road. Toyota says that there was a recall but my car was not included! i believe that it is a dangerous problem.
The visor on the passenger side does not stay up any longer.
The sun visor of my car cannot stay up.it keeps rotating downward and blocks my view.this is a wide-spread manufacturing defect of 2007-2011 camry.i informed toyota but they did not agree to fix my car.i also have a 2001 camry, which is 10 years older and its sun visors work fine.my friend has a 2010 camry and it also has the same sun visor problem.he did not get any recall notice from toyota for this problem either.
Driver side sun viser fell off while driving vehicle onto drivers lap.
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.
The driver side sunvisor instantly broke while placing in the up position.one week later, the passenger side sunvisor broke while placing in the up position.both sunvisors are currently hanging loose and i am unable to adjust them at all.both are blocking my vision, especially the passenger side.toyota has replaced thousands of cars' sunvisors due to manufacturer's defect,but is refusing to replace mine 'because they decided not to fix my car's vin number'.
Driver side visor no longer stays up and partially blocks my view of the windshield.i have to lean forward to see the whole road and makes it difficult to look at my rear view mirrors.
The sun visor on the driver side will not stay up.i learned that toyota issued a warranty enhancement for sun visor assemblies on certain 2007 - 2011 camry vehicles.i called toyota customer support and was told that my car was not included in the warranty extension.i would like to file a complaint against toyota since my car year model falls within the year models affected, and clearly i have a problem with the sun visor not staying up.

Driver side sun visor will not stay in retracted position.
Driver-side sun visor broke off.
Defective sunvisor (left) which was a safety warranty enhancement in toyota camry produced between feb 2006 and feb 2010. My car was produced in may 2010 and therefore not part of safety. Toyota should consider increasing the warrantly enhancement.
I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 toyota camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. The sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. It is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. Subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. I consulted a toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. Considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of toyotas of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the nhtsa should consider issuing a recall for this issue.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at 45 mph, the driver side sun visor failed to remain closed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired, but the repairs were unknown. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.
Sun visor unexpectedly sagged down while driving on highway, and now permanently in the dropped down position. Quite a potential safety issue when 1/2 of your visibility suddenly gets blocked, and this issue seems quite commonly reported in online forum complaints.
During the first half of 2015 my driver's side sun visor would not stay all the way and was about 15% of the way down.while this was in my line-of-sight it really did not impede my vision or ability to drive.mid-2015 the visor no longer was able to hold itself up and was fully down at all times completely impeded my ability to see the road as i am a taller driver.i had to remove it completely in order to drive the vehicle.there is an existing warranty but does not apply to my particular vin.in fact there are only two 2011 camrys that would be covered under wmi code 4t4.i know i purchased one of the first 2011 camrys as i purchased in may of 2010 (well ahead of the normal release cycle) when toyota went through their big (brake pedal / floor mat) recall. I only found out recently that there was a warranty available for at least a certain population of 2011 camrys.i have also found out that it is very common for the 2011 camry to have issue as many other owners have complained via different forums and have also confirmed that their particular vin is not covered.
I have toyota camry 2011. The sun visor has fallen. I have no sun visor and i see it as a safety hazard.called toyota ca delear- capitol expressway in san jose, they said that it is covered after checking the vin number. Went there and wasted 2 hours to be told that is is not covered. Called toyota experience ( or bad experience) line and they opened a case (1609170669) and said is is not covered. I see that toyota product quality and service quality both have gone down. It is better to buy other good brands and avoid toyota.
I was not sent any notice of the defective plastic clips holding up 2007-2011 toyota camrys.instead, our sun visor lost resistance in 9/2019 and started obstructing our visibility and making it hard to see out the windshield. The sun visor would no longer stay up, but hang ~2/3 of the way down.i contacted toyota and printed out the complaints as well as the fact that toyota never informed us of the issue with the defective visor clips within the extended warranty time frame -which has happened to many.we are being told to replace and repair it ourselves for $195 though they agreed it's a safety hazard as well as the clips are defective.our local dealership was cordial but said it was out of their hands and a toyota headquarters decision. Please look at the multiple complaints here:https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-toyota-camry-and-camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-5http://m.carcomplaints.com/toyota/camry/2011/accessories-interior/sun_visor_will_not_stay_up.shtmli believe toyota is in the wrong and should have to fix all faulty clips especially when blocking your visibility.i was unable to see other drivers in the course of driving.i could not see safety signs when turning, on the highway, etc.because of this, i had to rip off the left side sun visor out of concern an accident would occur.
The drivers side sun visor has failed and will not stay in the up.position the inside plasti. The holds the visor arm has separated allowing the entire arm to rotate feely. This blocks my vision of the road and could cause an accident.
Driver side sun visor came disconnected and lodged in angled, partially down position while driving, making it difficult to see. Had to pull over to fully disconnect visor as it was fully stuck otherwise. Reviewing tonight, this seems to be a common issue for this era camry.
Drivers side visor drops down when and will not stay up. The toyota extended warranty does not cover my vin #. This is a part defect and has many complaints.
My driver side sun visor can not go back to it's position. It's hanging down in front of me and i have hard time to look in front of the vehicle. It is blocking my view. My daughter is little taller and she drives this car too, and it makes the problem worse for her. I called toyota and i was told they couldn't help me with that.
Drivers side sun visor released will driving on freeway. Would not stay in place.had to pull over and completely remove visor from rod to see. The next week, passenger side visor released and would not hold position.
2011 toyota camry sun visor:in the past 3/4 days, i have started to experience 2 problems with my driver side sun visor of my 2011 toyota camry:1. It won't stay up in place and falls down blocking my vision- this is a serious road hazard2. The mirror light doesn't turn on anymore.from the online blogs i understand that it is a known problem for camry my2007-2011. I looked up my vin # and it doesn't fall in the range specified for warranty extension. I asked toyota is they will cover it but they refuse to as the vin # doesn't fall in their range covered for warranty extension. I think toyota should include other vin# in the range because this is a serious problem that a lot of other toyota owners are facing and they are not covered under the warranty. This should be considered a recall and not warranty as it is a safety hazard. Below is a link to all similar complaints from owners:http://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-toyota-camry-and-camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/i urge nthjsa to take this up with toyota and have them fix this defect with all the cars.thanks,padmini
The driver side visor on my 2011 toyota camry drops down in front of my vision making it a hazard when i drive as my visibility is impaired. I hit my head on the visor when i get in and out of the car. Toyota should declare a recall and fix these defective visors
Initially the sun visor will fell and block some driver side view. After a year or 2 later, it completely fell and will block the driver side view. This is a hazard condition and should have been recalled, toyota issued warranty bulletin(pol12-03) to replace certain vin range of the camry 07~11,mine is the 2011, however i do not see the vin in that document. I've bought 3 new camry in the past, only this one has the problem. Looking at the internet, many people have the same issue.and this should have been addressed by the toyota.
Driver side sun visor flops down. Fails to stay in set position . In up position starts to fall down. Appears to be a problem in the 2007-2011 year range. Can suddenly obstruct field of view.
Toyota camrys have a known defect with the sun visor drooping down. Toyota is aware of the issue but is unwilling to extend the fix to all owners that are affected. This is their pol12-03. This also occurred to my car.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side sun visors indepedently fell down while driving at various speeds. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,898.
My sunvisor does not retract all the way up and is now blocking my driving vision. I have to take it off the regular position and move it as close as possible to the driver side window. This now partially blocks my driver side view. Read csc-10046281-9258 but was disappointed that my vin was not included. There is obviously more vehicles affected than advertised.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that the sun visor had been replaced twice on the driver's side and once on the front passenger side due to the part not staying connected in place without fracturing. The dealer (hamer toyota, 11041 sepulveda blvd, mission hills, ca 91345, (818) 365-9621) and the manufacturer both indicated that this was a known issue, but there was no service or recall campaigns. The contact was uncertain if the part would fail again. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000....updated 11/21/17 updated 7/23/18
Sun visors seem to have not been properlyinstalled with correct parts went on line and googleit seems that a lot of this year has same problems so they where hanging and it makes hard to see theone on the driver side fell off eitherway it's un safe yo drive like thisi do not have money to fix it i am making payments and only had the vehicle for 2 years
Sun visors have just fallen downward and will not stay up. The drivers side completely fell off while i was driving. Huge safety issue. Toyota extended their warranty on some '07-'11 camry's, but mine does not fall in the vin # range they extended. It is obviously the same issue. This should be a recall, not extended warranty on all vin #'s from these years. Toyota refuses to do anything about it.
There is significant distortion of visibility through the rear windshield during both day and night, moving and stopped.the biggest issue at night is that one vehicle appears multiplied with multiple sets of headlights, mostly up and down with the defogging lines but also in a wavy pattern between defogger lines. During the daytime, it obscures the edges of vehicles with the wavy pattern and has the same headlight issue as nighttime driving if it's raining. There is no after-market tint applied and there has been no damage to the windshield. It makes changing lanes at night or in the rain difficult and unsafe if there are any other vehicles on the road behind me since the distortion makes it difficult to determine distance and which lane they may be in.
I was driving on route 50 over the kent narrow bridge in maryland when iheard a loud crash. I then heard the sound of wind and glass breaking. I look up at my sunroof and saw broken glass and a large hole in the sun roof. The sun roof exploded out, so there was very little glass in the car. I did not see any objects that would have cause this or any trucks near me that would have dropped anything. Thank god the sun roof exploded out and no broken glass came into the car which could have resulted in a severe accident. Toyota is bulking at covering this under warranty.this is a severe safety issue and should be look at very carefully. I have pictures if needed.
Sun visor fails to stay in up position blocking full view of the windshield.
Sun visor will not stay in place, hangs straight down. There is a recall for this part for other vehicles of my make, model, and year (2007-2011 toyota camry). My vin is not covered by the recall but my vehicle is still affected. Since the visor will not stay up and hangs straight down it impacts visibility.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry.the contact stated that the driver side sun visor malfunctioned.the sun visor continuously fell down and would not stay in the upward position. The failure continued to occur for over a period of two months.the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic testing.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
The sun visor will not stay up. Nearly causing me to have accidents. No screws to tighten to stop visor from falling down. Dangerous. Finally after trying everything to keep visor up i had to hot glue the visor to top of car; now i cannot use visor quickly. I cannot afford to go to dealership for repairs. Might need to note that rarely was visor ever used.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at various speeds, the sun visor fell down without warning and obstructed the contact's view of the road. The contact stated that the sun visor would not remain in the upright position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at 55 mph, the driver side sun visor detached from the interior roof of the vehicle, obstructing the contacts view. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the driver side sun visor had fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
Sun visor driver side is falling down on camry 2011. Wont stay in the up position.also took car to the dealership for noise in the steering and they said it was the steering shaft which is not covered under the 5 year warranty. Caronly 58000 miles.
Driver visor will not go back to place. It hangs down blocking me to see the street lights above and will not fold up.
Dashboard has become shiny and extremely sticky. On sunny days or at knight light can reflect off the dashboard into the windshield. This causes an intense glare making it extremely difficult to see forward. This effect can be seen stationary or in motion in cities or on the highway. Toyota issued an enhanced warranty however many older cars are no longer covered and the issues still persist. I purchased my car used from a third party and was never informed about the enhanced warranty that covered this issue. When i learned that this warranty existed it was too late and mar car was no longer covered.
I called our local dealer after my wife's 2011 sun visor fell while she was driving and won't stay up. First the service person couldn't find the toyota memo. Then he found it but said only the interior parts are covered. I told him it's one unit. He spoke to a service tech and the tech confirmed it's one unit. Then he came back with we have to look at it then order the part. I will have to come back in a few days to have it installed. I told him i don't have time to make two trips to the dealer. He put me on hold and now claims she is out of her warranty period.
The sun visor on the driver side became tight. Within a day, it would not stay up and while driving it simply started dangling and had to be pulled off. I am waiting to hear from the dealer how they will correct this. I have seen many reports about the same problem on your website. This is a safety issue and the design/manufacturing appears to bea problem. If a tsbdoes not exist, it should be sent by toyota to dealers to correct this problem.
The drivers side sun visor is faulty and will not stay up in place. It is blocking my view. They have a recall but my vin number wasnt included. I contacted the dealership and they said to contact toyota by phone. I called them and they dont want to replace it.
Power window on drivers side is intermittent.

Purchased vehicle sept 2013 with approx 44,000 miles on it. Around april 2014 started to hear sounds like something was loose inside the car. Sounded metallic. It was due for service at 50,000 miles so i took it in. Mentioned the knocking metallic sound and they said it was the moonroof. I couldn't quite figure how they know that so soon but i couldn't leave it that day all day, just for the service. I brought it back today and they said it was definitely the moonroof. It was out of warranty so it cost me $248 to fix. When i came home i looked it up on the toyota forum and, bingo, there were numerous complaints from owners of various years.so that's why they knew what it was right away. There are also a number of complaints here with the safer.gov site.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the sunroof while driving at various speeds. The contact scheduled an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
On a hot day while parked, the front windshield of my 2011 toyota camry developed a very large crack.
In aug. Of `10 i purchased a 2011 toyota camry.it has about 6500 miles on it and after driving it home from niagara falls yesterday, about 100 miles, i ran it through a car wash.i drove it home about a mile and made two stops on the way.parked in the garage i went out to get the car around noon today (19 hours after the wash).the car would not move as the wheels were all tightly locked.i could not get it to go forward or backward.finally one of the front wheels moved slightly and in so doing the back end of the car went sideways into the garage wall doing minor damage.i did not try it any more until around 24 hours after the car wash and it still is tightly locked and will not move.the temperature last night was about zero and 20 degrees today.i fear if i really force it may do damage to the brakes if it hasn't already.i have driven cars for 60 years, washed many in as cold weather and never had this happen.i have been told it is a design flaw.if i was not retired and had to go to work i would not have been able to move the car.thank you for the opportunity to report this problem.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Noticed a large knot on the front drivers side tire that was purchased 6 months earlier.took it to the nearest dealer of cooper tires and upon inspection it was determined that it was a manufacturer defect.if we had failed to notice this, it would have blown out while we were driving. Being on the front, this could have caused a serious accident.the tire was replaced at a pro rated rate.after reading about several other people having the same complaint, we are going to switch brands.the tires have not held up to the milage that was advertised. We have very little miles on them but they are already showing the wear bars. We have records and all the proper maintenance was done on these tires. These were not the original tires that came with the camery!
2011 camry with 27,373 miles entered traffic on fwy at 50+ mph started to shimmy violently engulfing me from all sides it was if car was possessed. In my 61 years i have never experienced anything like this. The radio cut out i felt pressure waves and noise throughout the car. I found a gas station just off fwy and checked the tires since that seemed the logical culprit, i found nothing unusual. To get home i had to drive about another 20 fwy miles keeping car at or under 60. I arrived at dealer and waited 3 1/2 hours before being shown possible problem. All 4 tires had what he referred to as "cupping," on the inside rim. That would explain the entire car turning into a freak-show like nothing i ever experienced. Their solution was to charge me for 4 new tires at retail. Mechanic said tires looked good and had 20,000 plus miles left. Why should i have to replace, (in my opinion), defected tires. Tires were not out of alignment if they were then the dealership is at fault since they did it. I examined all 4 tires in the bay while it was jacked up, no excessive wear showed. Who do i see that will take responsibility? these are bridgestone tires i thought were a solid brand. I went online to see if anyone had similar problems and found several. What would have happened to me if those 4 tires decided the pressure was too much and blew simultaneously, probably a hideous death!? wife drives the car it hers. She has had nothing but problems with transmission. She can't shift into gear until vehicle is warmed up and even then it is stiff and noisy. On a hill there was no grab it was if the car had no stop it literally took both feet one on brake other revving engine to keep from backing into a truck.
Front right axle boot leaks grease to the control arm suspension causing the vehicle to be un stable/vibration puts me in fear. Dealership does not want to do anything about it. I am very scared. The vehicle is in motion
1. Defective car was delivered by toyota & its dealer to me (customer). ----------- 2. Car was not tested by toyota/dealer on tires & vibration/shaking before delivery to customer. ----------- 3. When i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 4. Because of defective tires fitted by toyota & not tested properly by toyota, damages happened on the overall life span of car - suspension & steering systems. ----------- 5. Customer - driving safety was also put on huge risk, as untested car was delivered by toyota. ----------- 6. When i complained to toyota, then toyota found the evidence that tires were defective. ----------- 7. By having that defect in tires, it is obvious that overall life span of car's suspension, struts & steering system has been reduced, because of running with this vibration & shaking. ----------- 8. With this existing defect in car (it was present before delivery & couldn't be fixed by toyota service dealer for 6-months), customer's comfort & driving experience is totally ruined. Toyota is responsible for this damage to the customer's driving discomfort & the safety risk of customer's life (while driving the shaking & vibrating car). ----------- 9. Now, as your supervisor offered "one year" of extended warranty on this car. It shows that toyota know it very well that car is so much impacted & now has shorten the life span of car (because of these damaged tires & impacted parts in the car) so toyota is only offering "one year" of extended service to cover up their mistakes / defects in their quality.==============- car's shaking (vibrations at both - slow and higher speed), - impacts/damages the life span of steering,suspension and struts, - tires not in balance (wheel balancing was not done by toyota).==============
I recently had a flat tire after hitting something laying on a bridge and went to place my spare tire on my vehicle, and could not remove the lug nuts. Brought the car to an automotive shop and they could also not remove the lug nuts and said they were swollen very bad and none of their tools fit. Overall the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced because they were swollen. This is very dangerous for driver safety causing drivers to drive on flat tires until reaching a place they can put air into their tires. Also, the fact that automotive shops can not take off the lug nuts either means costly repairs for the driver.
Number 1 issue. I have takata psan airbag inflators, that can rupture creating a personal injury or death. Number 2 issue. I have front wheel tires that seems to wear off within a year. My 4 wheels were replaced in 2015. I need the 3rd set today. Number 3 issue. My dashboard is extremely sticky.
Vibration @ various speeds: 10/7/10 (mge 16): purchased(misconstrued vibration for road conditions). 10/8/10 (mge 49) all speeds, brought to dealer. Per dealer: flat spots on tires due to car sitting to long. Solution: over-inflate & instructed to drive. Also, disc were out of round. 10/11 (mge 89) discs serviced, vibration still present. Dealer denies presence. 11/15 (mge 975) dealer acknowledges vibration, tires replaced, vibration still present @ highway speeds. 2/19/11 (mge 5160) 5k maint., vibration still present, car pulling left when braking/accelerating. Service rep claims to have driven the car in addition to mechanic. Denied presence of vibration, exact quote "it drives like a camry". 2/21/11: car hit in rear driver tire, wheel assembly replaced, new rim, new bumper needed. No change in vibration, still present at highway speeds. 7/12 (mge 10127) 10k maint., vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 11/4 (mge 15355) 15k maint. Advised vibration still present. Again dealer denies presence of vibration. 3/22/12 (mge 19973) 20k maint., vibration still present, now severe pulse when braking. Pulse acknowledged, rotors resurfaced. Again dealer denies presence of initial vibration. 06/8 (mge 24949) vibration now felt at lower speedsds 50+ w/ increases intensity with speeds & @ 19-25 mph. Per dealer unable to validate low speed,but noted slight pulse at highway speeds. Dealer called factory rep. 6/10: dealer advised they went over car's hx with rep, no further action, tires too warn to evaluate. (lf uneven wear; other 3 ok). Instructed to buy tires for eval. 6/12 (mge 25087):called toyota; case # 1206120145. 6/13/12 toyota rep advised do not warranty tires, factory rep can't assess w/defective equipment. But, call dealer to see if temp tires could be used for eval since complaint was noted upon taking ownership. Immediate options:wait for dealer response, buy tires to see if the vibration is present or contact bridgestone.
I was accelerating to 40 mph, until i noticed that i was about to exceed 40 mph.i removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction.i started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.i looked where i wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane.the small adjustments did not help, and i lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left.as soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right.i noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 rpm to (about) 6,000 rpm and i was also able to regain some control of the car.i was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car.as the car was about to go off the road, i was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.
I was pulling out of the parking lot at bank of america in lithonia, ga and when i put the car in reverse, it accelerated and i couldn't stop it until it hit a light pole located behind the car. It was a loud impact but thank god my husband and i were not injured nor did we injure another person or their vehicle. It was only the grace of god that spared our lives because it was at 9:00 a.m. In the morning and a lot of people were coming in and out of the bank. I have had other episodes of acceleration which i reported to toyota in 2012 when i had the first accident which cost 12,000 in repairs.they inspected the vehicle at that time and stated that they couldn't find anything wrong. I did experience occasional episodes of acceleration after that inspection but no accidents until february 1, 2020. I purchased the car in 2012.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, he drove over a rock and the front passenger side tire blew. As a result of the blowout, the rim on the front passenger side split in half. The contact installed a spare tire as a temporary remedy. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that he would have to pay to have the rim replaced. The rim was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,700. Updated 11/01/2011 *ln
Alloy wheels are prematurely corroding.
The vehicle was in motion. While i was driving i hit deep potholes were they were do construction on the roads and the hubcaps came off on the same side at the same time.
I got my 150,000 tune, which included a computer refresh and alignment as well...well i asked for a replacement battery for my key fog and they gave a me a hard time about the battery...i just the need the battery changed on it and they said they would take care of it free of charge...when i got there they tried charging me $165 to change the battery in my key fog...which uses a round standard battery...and then they threaten me to take out the battery and then put the old one back in if i didn't comply. I ask to speak to the manager and he went ahead and did it for me like he originally had said....my dashboard after the computer refresh and key battery change my dashboard lights up with errors messages. And the car glitches and starts and shuts off when it wants to...and my alinement i got just before closing time and they reassuried me that it was good to go...and when i started driving it off the lot...it have another tire alignment on the opposite side of the car now....i've called them multiple times over and over and i've never heard anything back from them....
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. The contact stated that there was corrosion on all four wheels. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that there were no failures. The manufacture was notified about the issue. There were no repairs performed to the vehicle.the failure mileage was 26,000 and the current mileage was 28,000.

Car was brought in for tire noise. It was determined that the tires were wearing unevenly due to misalignment. Since the dealer did an alignment in april i felt that this was unacceptable. After complaining for about a half an hour that this was the worst toyota i have ever bought (and i have had many). The service manager finally relented to replace all four tires and do a four wheel alignment free of charge. They said it was for "customer relations". Or perhaps to make me disappear. In any event i was pleased with the results. Only time will tell if this alignment holds.
Factory-installed tires were completely and dangerously worn thin at below 24k miles.tire air levels routinely fell below normal but toyota dealership (toyota of dallas) failed to notify at regularly scheduled maintenance appointments of tire wear.
The contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. While driving at 55 mph and attempting to decelerate, the vehicle started shaking violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the vehicle needed an alignment, the tires needed to be balanced, and the rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000.
I experienced a situation with brake no responses after i step brake several times and felt like car accelerating on may 19th,sunday afternoon on a highway with camry 2011. It was raining and the dealer customer service told me it could happen??. The dealer checked the data and let a field technician checked, then told me when i was trying to pump the brake to reduce speed, the car smartly let the abs system engaged in to avoid locking the wheel, which is the reason what i was feeling brake did not response and accelerating. But i acted so quickly to turn the car onto the highway curb to avoid crash into the front car, after several days check the dealer confirmed with me the camry functioned nothing wrong and it was nothing to do with the quality recall regarding the toyota accelerator issue! maybe it is true, but at least they did not convince me why brakes system did not work once abs engaged. I think there must be a bug in the electronic device abs system causing brakes no pressure no response at all during that critical moment. How dealer can not find anything wrong like that in my camry 2011 ??
The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when i accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11.. A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. So i took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge melike $800. What can i do??
September 21, 2012 i just happened to check the air pressure of the tires (just bought a new tire pressure gauge) when i noticed a large bulge on the front driver side tire. I took it to my toyota dealer in round rock tx as directed by my service advisor.he indicated that the tire was pinched or hit something to cause this bulge and that toyota would not replace it under its original warranty.he told me to take it to the firestone store next door and see if they would replace it under warranty.needless to say they claimed that it was a road hazard and would not replace it.now, my wife and i have been driving a combined 62 years and we've never had a new tire blister like this, granted all the tire that came with the car and the subsequent ones we purchased were michelins.lot of similar complaints on these bridgestone oem tires on the internet.
