  The radio/navigation system in my vehicle malfunctioned during a self starting update. My screen now stays in reboot mode. The problem is, the screen stays at full brightness whenever the car is on at night I can’t see very well to drive. The other night I was coming home with me and my kids in the car and i hit the ditch trying to turn because the screen was so bright it impaired my vision. The screen never goes off as long as the car is running and there is way to adjust the brightness.

• 12/29/2021· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  My engine is burning oil risking my safety commuting to and from work. Piston rings have gone bad even with regular oil changes. This is poorly manufactured and not a result of maintenance. Only reason I knew oil I was burning oil was because I checked it and no indicator lights would have told me before blowing the engine up entirely. That to me is a scare feeling that could have been missed!

  Certain toyota models between 2012-2014 had a defective software and torque converter which if left alone, will end up ruining your transmission. Toyota decided to extend the warranty to 150k miles or 8 years, whichever comes first to fix this issue instead of actually recalling every affected car and performing the software update + torque converter replacement. Dealers were instructed to only perform the fix to cars that were already exhibiting symptoms. This is problematic in my case because even though my car is only at 110k miles, the 8 hear period expired last year and I just started having issues with the powertrain. I would have been able to notice these issues earlier if we didn't have covid for the past 3 years, which changed my daily routine from being a constant commuter to working from home so less miles were put on my car. Now I'm stuck, as well as many others, with a 7k bill to fix a torque converter and transmission all because toyota did not care about their customers. This is also a safety issue as your transmission would just continue to get worse and possibly break entirely while driving

• 12/16/2022· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  The vehicle shudders when switching from 2nd gear to 3rd gear at average acceleration and light load. It is an ongoing issue. Upon researching I found TSB SB0034-14R2 which appears to describe my issue. I took it to the dealer and they said I had to change the entire transmission, the torque converter and update the ECM software. When I called Toyota HQ customer service, they said the previous owner was notified of the issue and they didn't bring it in. They were willing to fix it for free up to May 2022 and I bought it after that. What I don't understand is why they aren't willing to at least provide a free ECM software update since this is likely an issue that existed in the software from the time it was manufactured. Software updates don't require a large amount of labor or a change of parts and it could remediate this safety issue. The shudder could cause me to get in an accident and get injured.

  DRIVING ON I-70 EAST OF FREDERICK, MD UP LONG HILL WHEN CAR LOST POWER. SPEED DROPPED FROM 75 TO 50 MPH. I WAS IN CENTER LANE AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. NARROWLY AVOIDED MULTI-CAR PILEUP WHILE TRYING TO WORK MY WAY TO SHOULDER. NOTHING ON DASHBOARD INDICATED PROBLEM. NO UNUSUAL ODORS OR SOUNDS. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN I RETURNED TO FLORIDA 3 DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES APPEARED ON THEIR EQUIPMENT AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HILLS IN THE AREA. TOOK CAR TO A SECOND DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. DEALER RECOMMENDS 6 CYLINDER CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT 4 CYLINDER CARS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN THEM FROM COAST TO COAST INCLUDING COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA AND CALIFORNIA. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE 4 CYLINDER CARS ON ANY TERRAIN. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THE CAR HAS A DEFECT WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF DIAGNOSIS INDICATES TO ME A FAILURE IN THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. *TR

  Starting in 2023, around 80,000 miles, my 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid has started pulling to either side under braking. I replaced the pads & rotors at my local Toyota dealer in September and it actually made the problem worse. November 22 of this year, the master technician at my dealership found multiple lower suspension bolts loose. They re-torqued everything to spec and the issue has not been resolved. I have reached out to Toyota corporate and informed them of the issue. Parts have been ordered for a separate Customer Support Program to fix the brake booster system, which makes noise in the pedal, but is independent of this complaint. We will be reinspecting in greater detail to provide information to Toyota.

  WEIRD SMELL COMES OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR IS ACTIVATED. THE SMELL INDICATES MOLD BUILDUP WITHIN THE VENTS. THERE ARE MANY OTHER ONLINE FORUMS THAT MENTION THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO PUBLIC HEALTH (SOME PEOPLE ARE DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO MOLD) AND MAY CAUSE DRIVER IMPAIRMENT AS A RESULT. VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA OFFERED SERVICES TO REPLACE THE VENTING SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAY. I AM LUCKY THAT IT'S ONLY WHEN I HAVE CIRCULATION ON WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. I DO NOT NOTICE IT WITH HEATING THE INTERIOR AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THESE MODEL YEARS (2012-2014) OF CAMRYS.

• 11/26/2024· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Over the 10 years I have owned this car, it has failed to start about a dozen times. 1/2 the time I am at home and 1/2 the time I am away from home. Sometimes if you wait a few hours it will then start, often times it has to get towed to the dealer. Upon arrival at the dealership, it usually starts. The Toyota dealership has been unable to correctly diagnose the problem. As such, I spend money on repairs that do not actually fix it. The latest "diagnosis" is that the steering lock actuator motor needs to be replaced. Cost about $900. There is no guarantee that replacing this part will fix the problem. Calls to Toyota Corporation go unreturned. I call them, log a case, the case is closed without a response. Rinse and repeat. Has happened three times already. Clearly they do not care. This is a very serious problem. Below is just the latest incident that happened on 10/15/2024.

• 11/25/2024· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  There is a transmission shudder when traveling around 30-40 MPH as well as sporadically when increasing speed. Recently, there is a very hard shift/jolt when transmission is shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ECM). This is a safety hazard, and I contacted Toyota North America who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota issued the recall themselves, Toyota dealers need to replace to the torque converter and update the ECM software. I am reaching out to the NHTSA because this is a safety hazard, and I hope you are able to help me.

I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAMRY AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA WAS TRYING TO FIX THERE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY PUT SOMETHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING. SO, I HAD A PROBLEM HAVING MY LEFT FOOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND BY TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR AND STOP IT FROM ACCELERATING. I JUST STOPPED TOUCHING THE BRAKE AND DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. TRY EXCELLERATING THEN TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL SLIGHTLY WHILE STILL EXCELLERATING AND SEE IF THIS SLOWS THE CAR FROM EXCELLERATING. THAT MIGHT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
