  The air bag system has a fault and it makes it so the passenger air bag light is always reading as off, as if there isn’t a passenger there. It also has the passenger seatbelt light flashing all the time.

  2010 CAMRY - BOUGHT NEW. TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES & SERVICE. REPLACED NEW MICHELIN TIRES (RATED 60,000 MILES) AT 32,000 MILES THAT WORE OUT UNEVENLY. WE NOTED THAT OUR VANS WHICH HAVE MORE ROLL THAN A CAR AND ARE MORE HEAVILY LOADED, USUALLY GO AT LEAST 55,000 AND THAT THEY WEAR MORE EVENLY. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CHECKING EVERYTHING, IT DID NOT OCCUR TO US THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER ALERTED US.SUDDENLY, AT 50,000 MILE CHECK UP, WE WERE INFORMED ALL 4 STRUTS ARE AT #2 AND MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS A LIGHTLY DRIVEN CAR. ( 2 DRIVERS AND 3 VEHICLES.) THESE ARE MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. WE NEVER LOAD IT AND RARELY HAVE MORE THAN 1 PERSON IN THE CAR. WE HAVE NEVER EVEN NEEDED A BRAKE JOB AND HAVE 70% LEFT ON OUR BRAKE PADS. AFTER LOOKING ON LINE I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CAMRYS AFTER 2007. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION, THEY OFFERED $750 DISCOUNT IF WE HAVE IT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. .DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES RANGE AROUND $1800 +. I CONTEND THAT SINCE TOYOTA DOES NOT RECOMMEND ANYTHING BE DONE WITH LEAKING STRUTS UNTIL THEY ARE TOTALLY SHOT, THEY DID NOT TELL US THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. TIRES PREMATURELY WEARING AND WHY WOULD ALL 4 STRUTS SUDDENLY FAIL IF THESE WERE NOT DEFECTIVE? WHY WOULD TOYOTA SAY STRUTS THAT LEAK AT ALL ARE NORMAL? SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. THIS IS NOT STANDARD MAINTENANCE - IT IS A DEFECT. SINCE TOYOTA IS ARBITRARILY DECIDING, WE WOULD APPRECIATE A CONSUMER ADVOCATE TO ASSIST US. WE ARE FINE WITH NORMAL MAINTENANCE COSTS AND IF IT WERE OLDER OR WITH MORE MILEAGE, WE WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET ABOUT THIS MAJOR PART FAILURE. *TR

  Subject: camry rear window (defogger), tint film badly bubbling with poor or zero visibility Dealer: Al Hendrickson Toyota 5201 W Sample Rd Coconut Creek, Florida 33073 Phone: (954) 972-1100 Website: https://www.alhendricksontoyota.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp_sales Amount Paid: 0 It is about my 2010 Camry bought new in 2010. It is sparsely driven (about 4 months in a year), mileage: 18,900. In 2017, bubbles developed in the rear window to the extent that it was literally opaque with zero visibility. The problem was reported to the dealer, Hendrickson. The defective tint was replaced. It was a warranty replacement at no cost. The problem has re-occurred (2023). Hendrickson refuses to fix it. I complained to Toyota company on or about Dec 8th, 2023 with no response so far. On my morning walks, I pass through several car parking lots and I have noticed this problem on in several Camrys and some corollas It shows the problem is quite spread out in Toyota models. I believe it is a manufacturing defect and a safety issue (poor visibility) for which manufacturer should be responsible and fix the problem ?

• 12/04/2025· STEERING,ENGINE

  I am reporting a serious safety hazard involving a 2010 Toyota Camry purchased from GA Carz 4 Less, LLC through the GovDeals.com platform. The seller provided no disclosures of mechanical issues. Immediately upon receiving the vehicle, it exhibited violent engine knocking, shaking, heavy oil leakage, and repeated engine shutdowns. Two certified mechanics inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the engine has catastrophic internal damage involving camshaft timing system failure and severe internal wear. Both mechanics stated that attempting to operate the vehicle at highway speeds could have caused the engine to explode due to internal failure and pressure spikes. This was an alarming and dangerous finding, especially since the vehicle was advertised without any safety warnings or disclosures. Additionally, the Carfax mileage in March 2025 was 193,653 miles, but the vehicle delivered to me showed over 208,000 miles—an undisclosed increase of more than 18,000 miles. This raises potential concerns regarding sustained driving after the auction despite severe mechanical issues. The seller listed the vehicle twice before selling it, suggesting possible prior knowledge of the engine condition. I later found numerous online complaints reporting similar instances of this dealership selling vehicles with severe undisclosed defects, indicating a broader safety problem affecting multiple consumers. The condition of this engine creates a risk of sudden shutdown, engine seizure, explosion, fire, and loss of vehicle control, which could cause serious injury or death. I am requesting that NHTSA review this matter, investigate the safety risks associated with these undisclosed engine defects, and determine whether this dealership’s practices pose a danger to the public. This complaint is being filed to prevent potential harm to future buyers and to document a serious safety hazard that I experienced firsthand.

HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER WITH COST OF AROUND $ 2,000.00. THE CAR ONLY HAD 31,026 MILES, ALL REQUESTED SERVICES WERE DONE ON TIME OR EVEN BEFORE TIME, NO SIGN OF SPONGY PEDAL OR BREAKS RED LIGHT COMING UP FOR WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR TO BE ON A TALLWAY. LATELY I DISCOVERED EMERGENCY BREAK NOT WORKING, (NEVER CHECKED AFTER REPAIRS) WHILE CAR LEFT ON DRIVE AND PUT EMERGENCY BREAKS, CAR MOVES. CERTAINLY I WILL NOT RETURN TO DEALER WHERE I WENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DID THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE EMERGENCY BREAKS AFTER BREAKS REPAIR?AS THEY HAD FORGOTTEN OTHER THING AFTER PAST SERVICES. NEVER TOYOTA AGAIN. WHEN I TALKED TO TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTER I WAS TOLD THE DEALER GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PRICE AND THEY PARTNER WITH DEALERS. I ASKED IF THE WOULD REIMBURSE SOME SINCE THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS 10 YEAR OLD! THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE, DRIVEN WEEKLY AROUND AND ONE DAY OF THE WEEK DRIVEN AT FAST SPEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

  My Toyota Camry Has been turned down for a melting and shiny dashboard replacement. Toyota says they notified me but I never received a notice in the mail. I called them at least four times, but they would not do the necessary replacement, saying that I was beyond the period of their offer to replace it. The problem seemed to occur some years after the purchase which was not visible till about two years ago. I consider this a safety problem because of the glare in the modern tilted windshields.

• 11/29/2021· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  The dashboard of my car is extremely sticky and is now causing a glare when I drive. This is a safety hazard due to the fact that the light from other cars/stoplights reflects off the shiny/sticky surface. This problem is very prevalent in other cars as well. I tried to get it fixed through extended warranty, but that ended in 2020. I believe that Toyota should extend this warranty as we were in a lockdown for all of 2020, and I was not able to visit a repair shop. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the failure of my dashboard, making it more dangerous as I found out when I had a glare from another car reflecting off my dashboard and temporarily blinding my view.

  The dashboard is very sticky and highly reflective to the point where, at times, I cannot see through the windshield. Driving has now become dangerous and I almost went head on into a car in front of me after making a turn westbound into the setting sun. Toyota dealership was contacted and the Service department said there was a recall but it has since expired and want to charge me about $2000 to replace the manufacturer failed dashboard. I am the original owner and I never received a recall notice from Toyota or the dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle. The dash has been sticky and reflective for over 2 years now.

  PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD STICKY/MELTING/RESIDUE. NEVER USED CLEANING AGENTS ON IT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WITH LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. CREATES A TERRIBLE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD, MAKING DRIVING DANGEROUS. DEALER IS ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER SERVICED MY VEHICLE..THEY STATE THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM..THEIR BODY SHOP ALSO IS OBLIVIOUS TO PROBLEM (THEY TRIED AN INDUSTRIAL CLEANER TO TRY TO WIPE IT OFF. (TO NO AVAIL). NOW I FIND THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM...THE INTERNET FORUM IS "REPLETE" WITH CAR OWNERS OF DIFFERENT MAKES/MODELS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS BEEN GARAGED OR NOT. PLEASE HELP...ON A "FIXED" INCOME, CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS DASHBOARD AND MY VEHICLE IS IN "PRISTINE" CONDITION WITH LOW MILEAGE/EXCELLENT CARE. THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN WARRANTS A "RECALL" AS SO MANY (MYRIAD) CAR OWNERS ARE NOW COMING FORWARD WITH THIS COMPLAINT. ONLY WITHIN THE LAST YEAR HAS THIS PROBLEM CROPPED UP ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS 5 YEARS OLD BUT ONLY HAS UNDER 32,000 MILES. UPDATED 12/10/14. *JB

  MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND SHORTING IT OUT. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE DRAIN FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM WAS CLOGGED AND CONDENSED WATER WAS NOT DRAINING OUT ONTO THE GROUND AS DESIGNED. INSTEAD, IT BUILT UP AND THEN LEAKED ONTO THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OF TOYOTA CAMRYS.
