2014 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

MOLD SMELL IN AC VENTS ON SUMMER DAYS EVERYTIME I TURN ON CAR FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. ITS UNHEALTHY AND EMBARASSING TO HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD CAR THAT SMELLS AWFUL WHEN TURNED ON. I HAVE READ ON MANY FORUMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH CAMRYS .

THE CAR HESITATES FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT RATHER RANDOMLY. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS ONCE A DAY (2 HOURS OF DRIVING). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY OR GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AROUND 15 TO 25 MPH. AFTER THE HESITATION THE CAR TAKES OFF VERY FAST. THE PATTERN SEEMS TO BE IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY AS IF TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION AND THEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL TO COAST (NO BRAKE APPLIED) AND THEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST DAY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SO IT IS NOT A WEAR ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY, MANY NEAR MISS SITUATIONS. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB SO IT IS NOT JUST ME. I EVEN FOUND ONE SITE WHERE A TOYOTA SERVICE REP SAID THEY SEE 40 TO 50 CARS A WEEK WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY KEEP TURNING THEM AWAY SAYING THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO MAKE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN WHEN IT IS IN FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014, INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY -- WHEN I AM PAUSED WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, FOR EXAMPLE SITTING IN LEFT TURN LANE OR IN FREEWAY ON-RAMP WAITING FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC; WHEN TRAFFIC OPENS UP AND I CAN GO, I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BARELY RESPONDS; MOVES FORWARD VERY SLOWLY; RPMS VERY LOW; CAMRY IS IN NO HURRY AND THE BREAK IN TRAFFIC IS RAPIDLY CLOSING; AFTER 0.5 TO 1.5 SECOND DELAY ALWAYS GETS ME NERVOUS; I STOMP ON THE GAS AND FINALLY CAMRY RPMS INCREASE, SHE DOWNSHIFTS AND AT LAST I TAKE OFF BUT BY THIS TIME I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SOMEBODY BECAUSE THE CAMRY CANNOT GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY. COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA DEALER THREE TIMES BUT THEY NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS WEEK TOOK IT TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS; HE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS AN AFTERMARKET FIX FOR THIS (APEXI P/N 417-A021 FOR $65 AT WWW.APEXI-USA.COM) AND SUGGESTED I NOTIFY NHTSA AND TAKE THIS INFORMATION TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND DEMAND REPAIR. THIS IS NOT MY IMAGINATION; THIS IS KNOWN DEFECT, REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS, DANGEROUS, AND REPAIRABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND FAILED TO STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST, RIGHT ARM, AND LEG INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE CRASH SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 9,195 MILES. ALL LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I TURN IT ON EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

AFTER AP. 45 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, DRIVER'S SEAT WARMER (PREVIOUSLY OFF) TURNED ON AND WENT TO HIGH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART A BIT LATER. ON THE WAY HOME, SAME THING HAPPENED TO PASSENGER SEAT. CAR AGAIN WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THEN DRIVER'S SEAT WARMED UP (BUT NOT TO HIGH THIS TIME). THIS ON AN 80 DEGREE DAY. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS.

DRIVING AT 50MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUNSHOT. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ONLY TO HEAR A RATTLING NOISE, I SLID BACK THE SUNROOF COVER TO NOTICE THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA USA TO NO AVAIL, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO RECALLS. I GOOGLED THE 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY EXPLODING, LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE!

I HAVE A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH 39000 MILES AND HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REGARDING A SHUDDER/JITTER FEELING AT STEADY SPEEDS OF 40-55 MPH. EVEN WITH LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.THE FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST DROVE MY CAR AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING SO I DECIDED TO ASK THE TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME. HE DID NOTICE A JITTER FEELING HOWEVER SINCE HE COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE JITTER MULTIPLE TIMES HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. SINCE TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM HOWEVER I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS I'M AFRAID THAT THE SHUDDER/JITTER FEELING MIGHT CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR END ME.

THE CRUSE CONTROL ON THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES, DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON HILLS OR INCLINES. WHEN SET AT A SPEED IT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWN THE HILL. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING KILLED. I HAD A COROLLA BEFORE THAT HAD SAME PROBLEM MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS A CAMRY THAT ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ONE OF THE SALES PERSONS AT L & S TOYOTA IN BECKLEY, WV. HE SAID ALL TOYOTAS WITH THIS TYPE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON A HILL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN USING CRUSE ON INTER STATE 64 SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MILES PER HR. VEHICLE WILL BE DOING 80 BEFORE YOU KNOW IT IF YOU DON'T NOTICE IT IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW FAST YOU WOULD BE GOING. ACCIDENTS COULD ALREADY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM USING A DATE BELOW TO CONTINUE

FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WAS MAY 24, 2015. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY; BUT HAVE NOTICED SINCE IT HAS GOTTEN HOTTER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERY DAY. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, OR AFTER STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. IT HESITATES AND IT IS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING. IT WAS RECALLED BY THE DEALER ONE TIME, BUT WHATEVER THEY DID, IT DIDN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED THAT AS IT GETS OLDER, THE PROBLEM MAY GET WORSE. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY FOR 9 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAD READ THAT NUMEROUS OTHER CAMRY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN--ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MY CAMRY AND IT DISAPPOINTS ME TO HAVE THIS ACCELERATING PROBLEM. IT IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THIS HAPPENS BOTH AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY.

SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WILL NOT GO. PUSHED IT TO THE FLOOR STILL NOTHING TOOK A FEW SECONDS FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ALREADY. USUALLY AFTER STOPPING THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENS.

BRAKE PROBLEMS AT 38,000 MILES. PER DEALER NEED TO PAY $1500 FOR BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS CERTIFIED VEHICLE BY TOYOTA. FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36000 AND TOYOTA CERTIFIED WARRANTY EXPIRED A MONTH AGO.

MY CAR HESITATES OFTEN. MOSTLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION ABOUT TO TURN LEFT, IT HESITATES RIGHT WHEN I'M ABOUT TO TURN. IT HESITATES FOR APPROX 1-2 SECS. UNSURE WHY. BUT I DO LOOSE POWER AND CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I ONLY HAVE 15K MILES

I have checked and haven't see any recalls for this issue. and i've paid several hundred dollars to fix these issues several time The Sway Bars from Both side of my suspension system have failed twice, as in coming loose and you can hear it clanking loosely 1. had left side it fixed in or 2016/2017 2. had right side fixed in 2020 3. Now having the same issue, but not sure which one it is, because i haven't had time take it to a repair shop again. I am sure my car 2014 model VIN # isn't the only one that has had or is having this issue. I don't have all this money to keep getting this fixed, it's a defect somewhere with the front end of this model year car. Its like whatever is holding this up, there is something wrong with that mechanism.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 10056821(POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDERS UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE BETWEEN 25-60MPH. REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER TWICE AND TRANSMISSION ONCE AND VEHICLE STILL SHUDDERS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT WILL SHUDDER ON EXPRESSWAY ON RAMPS INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING AS APPROPRIATE. SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR SOME 12-14 CAMRYS BUT NONE AVAILABLE FOR MY VIN. VEHICLE HAS 13,000 MILES AND PROBLEM STARTED AT 9,000 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE.

THE DRIVER DOOR WONT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE KEY. IT WILL ONLY MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK. THE PASSENGER DOOR, AND 2 BACK DOORS, AND THE TRUNK WILL OPEN WITH THE REMOTE KEY. BUT NOT THE DRIVER DOOR.

THE TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK ON THE LOWER PART OF THE SCREEN. SOME FEATURES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE TOUCHSCREEN. I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE PAIRED CELLPHONES TO ADD NEWER PHONES BECAUSE OF THIS.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I NOTICED IT LOOKED DULL, AND REQUESTED THAT THEY WASH IT AGAIN, I WAS TOLD "OH IT A FLAT FINISH" ONCE I GOT ALL THE PAPER WORK, TAXES ETC COMPLETED I WOULD SEE OTHER VEHICLE & IT MADE ME HATE MY CAR, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE A NEWER CAR LOOKING WORST THEN A 15 YR OLD CAR. I'VE EVEN HAD IT BUFFED / WAXED, THAT COMPANY STATED "THE MANUFACTURE MAY HAVE MISSED THE CLEAR COST WHEN FINISHING THIS CAR". PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY OPTION ARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER BEING PLACED IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD REV HIGH AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

FIRST, I DON'T OWN TOYOTA CAMRY, BUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE FOLLOWING BEHIND IT THAT BRAKE LIGHTS (LED) ARE SO BRIGHT THAT HURTS MY EYES AND MAKES MY VISION BLOTCHES FOR AWHILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS UNSAFE. I HOPE OUR GOVERNMENT CAN INVESTIGATE THIS AND SEE IF THOSE LED USED IN CAMRY COMPLIES SAFETY STANDARD.

I WAS IN A ROLL OVER CAR ACCIDENT IN 11/30/2015. I WAS SIDE SWIPED AND MY CAR ROLLED OVER AND SLIDE INTO IN COMING TRAFFIC. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED! I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. I THINK THE OTHER CAR WAS GOING ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. I HAVE OTHER PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT AND CAR.

ON A CITY STREET EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, OR ON HIGHWAY, WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY BUT NOT 'FLOORING IT' THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN FEELS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS AND IS SLOW TO INCREASE SPEED.

BATTERY DIED, BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SWITCH FRIED AND SHORT CIRCUITED MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL WIRING. RESULTING IN $2,800.00 IN DAMAGES. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM FOR CAMRY'S AND I BELIEVE THIS WASN'T FIXED ON MINE.

I HAVE A 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY ROUTINE MAINTAINED COMPLETED. AT 10000 MILES AIR LEAK OCCURRED TIRE NOT REPAIRABLE TIRE REPLACED. 3 WEEKS AGO AT 15,000 MILES TIRE HAD CATROPHIC FAILURE TIRE BLEW AT 25 OR LESS MILES PER HOUR CAUSING 3000.00 DAMAGE TO CAR INCLUDING ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. TIRE IS MICHELIN PRIMISE 215517 MXV4 DT000 835 70M I

3 INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THE LAST WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY SMALL TOWN STREET WITH PEDESTRIANS PRESENT. A SEVERE ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED PEDESTRIAN OR DRIVER INJURY WAS AVOIDED ONLY BY QUICK REFLEX APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES AND A SHIFT OF THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY VIA AN ACCESS ROAD.THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AND RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER BRAKE APPLICATION AND A DOWNSHIFT TO NEUTRAL. THE THIRD EVENT OCCURRED OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE FINAL EVENT, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION SIMILAR TO THE OTHER TWO INCIDENTS LIKEWISE OCCURRED. AFTER THE FINAL INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE ASSURANCES FROM THEIR ENGINEERS THAT THE CAR WAS " SAFE TO DRIVE" RANG HOLLOW, GIVEN THAT A NUMBER OF DEATHS CAUSED BY UNINTENDED TOYOTA ACCELERATION HAD BEEN REPORTED IN RECENT PREVIOUS YEARS. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T RECORD SPECIFIC DATES WHEN THE INCIDENTS HAPPENED, THE FINAL ONE OCCURRED IN THE FALL OF '15 AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE FOR FEAR OF INJURY TO MYSELF, FAMILY OR OTHERS. AS THE CAR LEASE CONCLUDES ( THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN DUTIFULLY PAID SINCE THE FINAL INCIDENT) I WRITE THIS TO HAVE IT ON RECORD THAT I CONSIDER THE CAR TO BE UNSAFE AND THAT I WANT TOYOTA (GIVEN THEIR SEEMING LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT) TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD THE CAR BE SIMPLY PASSED ON TO A NEW OWNER OR LESSEE AND ANOTHER UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCUR, CAUSING INJURY.

WHEN TURNING, CAR IS MOVING SLOWLY FORWARD AND CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED TO COMPLETE THE TURN. TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. THERE IS A 5 SECOND HESITATION BEFORE IT KICKS IN. CITY DRIVING. CAR IN MOTION AND THERE IS ALSO AN ACCELERATION HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR IN HIGHWAY DRIVING. UNKNOWN COMPONENT PROBLEM. DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO VEER OFF THE ROAD. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS BACK ON THE ROAD, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 1/14/16 LN CONSUMER NO LONGER OWN THE VEHICLE UPDATED 4/18/18*JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO THE RAVINE THE ACCELERATOR JAMMED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPEED ONTO THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. *JS

A RABBIT CHOMPED ON THE LOWER WIRING HARNESS RENDERING THE CAR DISABLED DUE TO THE WIRING BEING MADE OUT OF AN "ORGANIC" COMPOUND IN KEEPING WITH ITS "GREEN" PHILOSOPHY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC IT IS MADE FROM EITHER A PEANUT OIL OR SIMILAR INGREDIENT THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE WIRING COVERING CAUSES ISSUES ON MANY OF THE TOYOTA'S DUE TO RODENTS EATING THE WIRING AND IS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ANY ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THIS WILL COST $1900 TO REPAIR MY BRAND NEW CAR.

THE CAR COMPUTER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR TO CROSS BUSY INTERSECTION OR FROM STOP LIGHT, THE EXHIBITED 3-5 SECONDS OF DELAY, IT REFUSE TO PICKUP SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT! TOYOTA MUST RECALL THE CARS BACK AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIED AGAIN ON THE ROAD!!!

AT TIMES AT THE FIRST START-UP IN THE MORNING, AND DURING THE DAY FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE SITTING FOR COUPLE HOURS (SOME TIMES LESS AND AT OTHER TIMES LONGER PERIODS), THE ENGINE PRODUCES A RATTLING OR TAPPING NOISE FOR TWO OR THREE SECONDS THEN IT GOES AWAY. OFTEN, AFTER AN IMMEDIATE SHUT-OFF AND RESTART, THE ENGINE PRODUCES THE SAME NOISE FOR COUPLE SECONDS THEN IT STOPS. IT'S EASY TO MISS THE NOISE IF THE RADIO IS ON OR THE SURROUNDING IS NOISY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 3 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STABILIZED THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ; UPDATED 04/13/18*JB *TR

TOYOTA DEALER HAS FAILED ON 2 OCCASIONS TO FIX A MUSTY ,MOLD ODOR COMING FROM THE HEAT/AC VENTS LEAVING ME WITH THE UNPLEASANT AND UNHEALTHFUL TASK OF BREATHING THIS TOXIC AIR EVERY DAY I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, AND SHADE WAS ALSO CLOSED. SPEED WAS 45MPH, WHEN A LOUD POP SOUND WAS HEARD, PULLED OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE. *BF UPDATED 12/12/2017*JS

THERE IS GREEN PAINT COMING THROUGH THE WHITE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE. THEY PAINTED THE INSIDE OF MY CAR THAT SHOWED THE GREEN PAINT BUT NOT THE OUTSIDE . I REPORTED THIS IN 2015. THEY RECALLED MY CAR FOR A PAINT RECALL ON MY WHITE TOYOTA AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND SHOWED THEM THE GREEN PAINT WAS STILL ON MY CAR THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED ON THE RECALL. ONLY THE INSIDE WAS COVERED. *TR

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES (STALLS) AT STARTS AND AT OTHER TIMES AS WELL. WE HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THIS SITUATION TWICE. AT FIRST THIS WAS JUST A NUISANCE (SHORTER HESITATIONS), BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND THE HESITATIONS ARE LONGER LEAVING US IN MORE PRECARIOUS SITUATIONS. WHEN WE ARRIVED TODAY I EXPLAINED THE HESITATION PROBLEM. SOME OF XXX STATEMENTS WERE RATHER TROUBLING TO ME: (1) "THIS IS A NEW SYSTEM. THERE IS NO LONGER A WIRE AND THROTTLE. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO RE-DRIVE WITH IT." (2) "THOUGH WE HAVE EQUIPPED ALL TOYOTAS WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM, THIS HESITATION PROBLEM IS PREDOMINATELY IN CAMRYS." (3) "I HAVE A 15 TOYOTA AVALON AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO ME. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET." (4) "IF THE COMPUTER ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEN YOUR CAR IS OPERATING WITHIN SPEC. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SYSTEM." (5) "NEW CAMRYS HAVE A LOT COMPUTERS AND YOU NEED TO ALLOW ALL THE INTERFACES OF THE ALL THE COMPUTERS IN THE VEHICLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. THIS CAUSES SOME DELAY." THESE STATEMENTS WERE STATED BEFORE (1, 2, 4) AND AFTER (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) THE CAR WAS INSPECTED. I TOLD XXX REPEATEDLY THAT THIS WAS OUR SECOND VISIT TO GERMAIN TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS HESITATION MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. XXX KEPT INSISTING THAT IT WAS NOT TOYOTA'S / COMPUTER'S FAULT, THAT WE JUST NEEDED TO LEARN TO RE-DRIVE THE CAR. I DISAGREE THAT "IF THE COMPUTER ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEN YOUR CAR IS OPERATING WITHIN SPECS." TOYOTA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPUTERS CAN BREAK, BE LOADED WITH IMPROPER INFORMATION, BE SET UP INCORRECTLY, ETC. SOMETHING IS CAUSING THIS HESITATION "PRIMARILY" IN CAMRYS! IN OUR OPINION, ALL TOYOTA CAMRYS WITH THIS "NEW SYSTEM" SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THIS SITUATION ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE HOPING THAT TOYOTA WILL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL CAMRY OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACIVATED, AN ABNORMAL MOLD ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT BUGS CLOGGED THE DRAIN TUBE. AS A RESULT, THE BUGS HAD TO BE REMOVED AND THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE DRAINED AND CLEANED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

Brakes on this car has always been kind of spongy and brake pedal goes down very far before they engage. One day driving along, I came to a stop light, and as I pressed the brake pedal it seemed to accelerate but stopped just short of the bumper of a police officer. I complained about it to the dealer during warranty but they said the pedal was normal after checking it. Even after changing brake pads and rotors there is still a very spongy feel to the brake pedal which is kind of scary as it goes very low and always has/

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IN NOVEMBER 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK LEFT TIRE BLOWOUT. THE SIDE OF MY CAR IS DAMAGED AND THE LOWER PANEL BELOW THE DOORS ALSO THE FRONT BUMPER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE IS NOT COVERED BY THEM EVEN AND THE CAR IS FULLY COVERED (WOW). THE MANAGER AT TOYOTA TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE TIRE DEALER AND DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 6 TOYOTA SINCE 1984 AND REALLY THOUGHT TOYOTA WAS A GREAT COMPANY. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES U.S.A,INC. DEPT. WC 11 19001 S. WESTERN AVE. TORRANCE, CA 905501 800-331-4331 TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIRED MY CAR IN TOTAL '. I CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURE (BRIDGESTONE RETAIL OPERATIONS, LLC - 800 847 3272) AND TOLD THEM OF THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOOK ALL THE DETAILS AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER (727790) AND TOLD ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH 2 WRITTEN ESTIMATES AND SHIP THE DAMAGED TIRE TO THEM. AFTER A WEEK, I SHIPPED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND THE WRITTEN ESTIMATES TO BRIDGESTONE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATED THAT MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENY, DUE TO LOW AIR IN THE TIRE. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAD SUFFICIENT AIR IN THE TIRE AND THESE TIRES ARE LONG LASTING THEY TOLD ME. I WENT ON THE WEB SITE HTTP://WWW.NITROFILL.COM/ AND EVEN IF THE TIRE HAS LOW AIR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWOUT. I CONTACTED (1-877-246-3455) THE NITRO FILL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BRIDGESTONE IS A "JOKE".
