MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN USING EXCESSIVE OIL LAST 2 YEARS IT HAS 78000 MILES I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ENGINES I 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 REPAIRS TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEFECTIVE PISTON PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED I AM ASKING FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS ISSUE THANK YOU

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.

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.

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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AT A SHOP AND THE LIGHT WAS ON CODE DESCRIBED A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS I CONTACTED TOYOTA BY PHONE AND EMAIL FOR HELP. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND IF IT IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND NOT YET DISCOVERED THEY SHOULD E RESPONSIBLE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR .

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. POSSIBLE AFFECTED BY TAKATA RECALL.

I BELIEVE MY CAR IS ONE OF THE CARS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED IN TOYOTA RECALL I'D: 227548. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY CAR, THAT'S LISTED IN THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TIGHTLY I HERE A GRINDING SOUND, I TOOK MY CAR TO BE SUSPECTED AND WAS GIVE THE DIAGNOSIS OF MY SUSPENSION AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE BALL JOINT

SEATBELT DON'T WORK ON DRIVER SEAT FRONT IT WANT CLICK THAT'S A SAFETY HAZARD

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)

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND BECOME STICKY. IT CAUSES A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN SUNNY CONDITIONS.

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.

ABS/ESP SYSTEM FAILURE & RANDOM ENGINE REVVING BEFORE WRECK THE 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.

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.

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 DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR, WHILE POSITIONED IN TRHE RETAINING CLIP, CONTINUES TO ROTATE DOWNWARD, HAMPERING THE DRIVERS VIEW. CONDITION IS WORSENING WITH TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 35 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, THE CONTACT WAS TURNING AROUND A CURVE ON THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE OFFICER WAS PRESENT, BUT A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, LEFT FOOT, KNEES, AND SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, CHEST, SHOULDER, AND BACK PAINS. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V014000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER (VICTORY TOYOTA, 5 HEITZINGER PLAZA, SEASIDE, CA 93955, (831) 393-3020) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE THE GUIDELINES TO INVESTIGATE THE CRASH FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER, AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP IN 48 HRS TO INVESTIGATE THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

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.

MY 2011 CAMRY HAS 55K MILES AND HAVING HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. SPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO STOP THERE A LAG IN RPM AND TRANSMISSION MOVES 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VIBRATED. ALSO, WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, IT FELT AS IF IT WOULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER, TO STOP THE VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED.

AIRBAG SYMBOL WAS LIT SHOWING ON MY DASH. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY TOLD THAT A SPRING HAD BROKEN, AND THAT MY AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPOY IN AN ACCIDENT. COST TO REPLACE SPRING WAS OVER $500.00. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME HELP WITH PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. MY WIFE AND I ARE LIVING ON A FIX-INCOME, AND 500.00 IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. I JUST SAW A RECALL ON A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER, WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH FAULTY AIRBAG. PART NEEDED IS A SPRIAL 84306-06150 CLOCK SPRING.

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

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.

THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS, AN ABNORMALLY QUICK/CONSTANT LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE, AND A DISASTROUS BLOWOUT THAT CAUSED ME TO MISS MY FATHERS DEATH BY 1.5 HOURS. I PURCHASED 4 ARIZONIAN SILVER EDITION PLUS TIRES ON MAY 22ND FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. IT DIDNT TAKE LONG FOR THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. ON JULY 2, ONE OF MY TIRES WENT FLAT. ON JULY 5, DISCOUNT TIRE REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE AS WELL AS A SECOND TIRE. ON SEPTEMBER 6, I NOTICED A TIRE WAS LOW AGAIN. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT MY AIR VALVE WAS LOOSE, BUT THAT THEY HAD INFLATED THE TIRE TO ITS PROPER PRESSURE LEVEL AND INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AS WELL. ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2018, I WAS DRIVING TO THE DENVER AIRPORT AFTER FINDING OUT THAT MY DAD WAS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN AUSTIN, TX. AT 12:00 PM MT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE E-470 TOLL ABOUT TO EXIT FOR DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (EXIT 28), MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I WAS NOT SPEEDING NOR DRIVING ERRATICALLY. I WAS 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT. I MISSED MY FLIGHT. I HAD TO WAIT AN ADDITIONAL 6 HOURS TO GET ON THE NEXT FLIGHT. I ARRIVED IN AUSTIN AT 10:45 PM CST. UPON LANDING, I DISCOVERED THAT MY DAD PASSED AWAY 1.5 HOURS EARLIER. I WAS DEPRIVED OF THE CHANCE TO SEE MY FATHER ONE LAST TIME BY A MATTER OF 10 MINUTES, WHICH WAS HOW FAR I WAS FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN MY TIRE BLEW OUT. ITS NOT A HYPERBOLE TO SAY THAT THIS SITUATION WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. BUT FOR THE BLOW OUT, I WOULDVE BEEN ON TIME FOR THE 1:55 PM FLIGHT AND WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO SEE MY DAD BEFORE HIS DEATH. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 FOR A TIRE REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD BY THE EMPLOYEES THAT UPON EXAMINING THE BLOWN-OUT TIRE, THERE WAS NO INDICATIVE REASON AS TO WHY THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THESE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE, CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC LIFE EVENT FOR ME.

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.

TL* 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. *BF CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF CAR FAULTY ACCELERATING.*JB

I HAVE HAD COMPLICATIONS NOT ONLY WITH VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE BUT ALSO THE THEIR IS A CLUNKING WEIRD NOISE 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.

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

MUCHOS PROBLEMAS

THE SUN ROOF ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011 OPENS BY ITSELF, WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT WON'T CLOSE UNTIL I STOP DRIVING.

SUN VISORS SEEM TO HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED WITH CORRECT PARTS WENT ON LINE AND GOOGLE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF THIS YEAR HAS SAME PROBLEMS SO THEY WHERE HANGING AND IT MAKES HARD TO SEE THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF EITHER WAY IT'S UN SAFE YO DRIVE LIKE THIS I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS

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 THOSE RESULTS . 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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL SUN VISORS FALLING DOWN.

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 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

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN, BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW, THE SUPPORT ARM FAILED.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN IN PLACE. THE CONTACT CALLED WOBURN TOYOTA AT 781-933-1100 (LOCATED AT 394 WASHINGTON ST, WOBURN, MA 01801) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

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.

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.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE SUN VISOR JUST DROPPED DOWN, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE INTERSECTION AND TRAFFIC LIGHT
