• 12/30/2020· STEERING

  NORMAL STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING GOES SOFT AND VEERS TO THE RIGHT. CHECKED AIR PRESSURE REPORTING NORMAL. WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENT DURING THE FORTY MINUTE DRIVE. THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.

• 12/29/2020· STEERING

  VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION. DOESN'T MATTER IF ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT THE ISSUE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 66K MILES.

• 12/28/2018· POWER TRAIN

  WHEN I ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 40 MPH THERE IS SHUDDER AND ROUGH RIDE LIKE RUNNING OVER ROUGH ROAD. THE CAR HAS 79,500 MILES ON IT. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET.ONE PERSON INDICATED IT MIGHT NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT THAT IS THE ONLY REPORT LIKE THAT I HAVE SEEN. THE DEALER, TEAM TOYOTA OF PRINCETON SAYS IT WILL BE A $2,880 REPAIR. BASED ON ADDITIONAL INTERNET REPORTS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

• 12/26/2017· STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AT REGULAR OR SLOW SPEED, THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT FLASHES ON FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHILE TURNING LEFT. MAINTENANCE TO THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERFORMED BY A TOYOTA DEALER.

• 12/26/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT HESITATES AS IF THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 -10 FEET JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT THERE INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN NOSE DIVES BECAUSE IT LOSES ALL FORWARD POWER, STEADY PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND MILKING GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RESUME ANY FASTER. SO FAR IT HAS LASTED 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND THEN RESUMES. THE RPMS STAY AT ABOUT 1 (IDLE) AND THE ECO LIGHT FLASHES RANDOMLY BUT CAR DOES NOT STALL SO FAR JUST LOSES FORWARD MOTION AND WONT ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC ONCOMING AND BEHIND YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9-10 TIME OCT 2016-DEC 2016

• 12/25/2020· STEERING

  CAR SPORADICALLY PULLS TO THE LEFT WHETHER OR NOT I AM TURNING. AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THEN CAR STARTED, CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS ALSO STATED BY MANY OTHER OWNERS ONLINE..

• 12/23/2020· STEERING

  THE WHEEL STARTS PULLING RIGHT AND THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL. ALSO VERY HARD TO TURN WITH A POPPING NOISE THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS MORE OFTEN AND ONLY WANTS TO TURN RIGHT. IT ALSO DOES IT ON MAIN STREETS HIGHWAY ETC OFF AND ON SEEMS DANGEROUS.

• 12/22/2022· STEERING,POWER TRAIN

  Over this past year my power steering light flickered on and off randomly and my radio/lights will turn off completely while driving. Over the last 30 days it has been difficult to turn my car , especially in slow or tight turns and the car make a loud humming/grinding sound in turns.

• 12/21/2019· STEERING,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD EITHER VEER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. YOU HAVE TO STOP THE CAR TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN OR NOT ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN EVEN IF YOU ARE CONTROLLING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DOES WHAT IT WANTS. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ONE TIME WE ALMOST HIT A CURB WITH THE TIRES BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR IT WAS GOING WHERE I WANTED TO. THE TIRES WERE OUT EXTREMELY FAST I NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE THE WARRANTY THERE LIKE BALD WITH IN LIKE A COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES EVEN TO JUST TWO MONTHS AND THEY'RE BALD AND THE ALIGNMENT SPINE I'VE HAD IT CHECKED. I CHANGE ALL THE FLUIDS ON TIME AND TAKING CARE OF MAINTAINING THE CAR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S DOING THIS CAN YOU PLEASE FIGURE IT OUT?

• 12/21/2018· STEERING

  WHILE OPERATING AT LOW SPEED, THE CAR STARTED TO STEER TO THE LEFT, REQUIRING PHYSICAL RESTRAINT TO KEEP IT MOVING STRAIGHT. WITHOUT RESTRAINT, IT WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE CURB. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, AND FOLLOWING A 2 HOUR DELAY, THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND DID NOT EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, THEY INDICATED THAT THIS VIN WAS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED OTHER CAMRY'S OF THE SAME YEAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING.

  CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING BY ITS SELF ON HIGHWAY.

• 12/18/2016· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  AFTER MY 25,000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK I BEGAN NOTICING A FOUL ODOR UPON ENTERING THE CAR. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS ODOR IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE FANS ARE BLOWING, THE SMELL REDUCES IN STRENGTH. HOWEVER, ANYTIME THE CAR IS OFF, THE CABIN FILLS ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS HORRIBLE FOUL ODOR. TO DESCRIBE THE SMELL I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S SIMILAR TO A GYM LOCKER ROOM MIXED WITH GARBAGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AS MY CAR IS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS SOLELY USED FOR COMMUTING. FOOD IS NOT CONSUMED IN THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY WATER IS DRANK. THE FACT THAT THE SMELL DISAPPEARS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE FANS ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A DEAD ANIMAL PRESENT IN THE CHASSIS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MECHANICAL ISSUE. *TR

• 12/13/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,LANE DEPARTURE

  The sunroofs have a drain which sometimes can plug up. This car was maintained several times a year since purchase by Toyota dealer. When the drain plugged up this fall, water backed up and came down inside of the passenger compartment on top of the electrical fuses, body computer. The leak IS NOT DETECTABLE by owner or occupant. But when it manifests itself, it does so with the Blind Spot Monitor failing randomly, the seat belt warning lights might or might not work, the airbag safety system fails, sometimes the whole instrument dash acts erractic including random on/off blinking, the tire pressure monitoring system fails. All these problems can occur before owner is ever aware of the problem. Since one of the items that is getting corrosion is a fuse block - potential fire while parked in a garage or while being drive is a possibility. In an accident failure of air bags can result in a fatality. I'm an engineer, so when things started blinking on dash - I took pictures or had another occupant take pictures. I showed them to the dealer service - they didn't make the connection with corrosion on the body computer that monitors and manages all the systems including the anti-lock and rollover system. It's in for repair at dealer now, now idea on the cost - but they've said damage is extensive AND we caught it before most people encounter it. I checked and could find no Toyota Service Bulletin that warned to look for the problem, repair techs had vehicle for week trying to find problem - and it took me insisting on looking for corrosion before they found it. This should result in: 1)Toyota special service bulletin to inspect every year and verify sunroof drain not blocked. 2) read diagnostics codes of the body network computer for issues, 3)Toyota special service recall to repair damage free to customers.

WHICH MY CAR FALLS IN THERE. THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM AND SAID THEY DONT HAVE A RECALL. HOWEVER TOYOTA DID SEND OUT NOTIFICATION TO MECHANICS TELLING THEM THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THESE ECUS . STANIONARY

• 12/09/2020· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHOLE ELECTRICAL BOARD WENT OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO HELP FIX IT.

• 12/09/2019· STEERING

  WHILE DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH THE STEERING PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT, DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT AND IN THE LANE. STEERING FELT LIGHT AND SLOPPY, LIKE A LOW TIRE OR STEERING GEAR ISSUE, VERY DANGEROUS. FASTER SPEEDS NOT AS BAD. TOWED TO DEALER, DIAGNOSED AS A "LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY". CAR STARTED AS USUAL WITH NO WARNING OF INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WARNING LIGHT BUT IT NEVER CAME ON. THE MANUAL SAYS IT MAY COME ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE STEERING ACTS UP WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARNINGS. THIS IS PROBABLY A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND NOT ISOLATED TO JUST MY CAR, ANY TOYOTA WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING.

• 12/08/2014· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  WHEN DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY---OR AT NIGHT ON A LIGHTED THOROUGHFARE---WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP, THE FOLLOWING OCCURS: THE AC OUTLET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AS WELL AS THE AC OUTLET ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE---BOTH OF THESE IMAGES (THAT IS, THE ENTIRE AC OUTLET, INCLUDING THE CHROME BEZEL SURROUNDING IT) ARE REFLECTED ONTO THE DRIVER & FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS---AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY REFLECTED ONTO THE 2 OUTSIDE MIRRORS. THE RESULT IS THAT, WHEN ANOTHER AUTO IS APPROACHING ON EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE, THEN YOU WILL SEE THE APPROACHING CAR IN THE OUTSIDE MIRROR, BUT SUPERIMPOSED OVER IT WILL BE THE ENTIRE REFLECTION OF THE AC OUTLETS. THUS, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT, WHEN LIGHT ENTERS THE CAR & HITS ON THE AC OUTLETS, THEN THE IMAGE IS REFLECTED ONTO THE SIDE WINDOWS, & THEN CONTINUES ITS REFLECTION ONTO THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS. HOWEVER, WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN, THERE IS NO REFLECTION ISSUE AT ALL. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE BUTTONS & SWITCHES INSIDE THE CAR ARE COATED WITH SOME SORT OF CHEMICAL, WHICH MAKES THEM ALL LIGHT UP AT NIGHT IN A BLUE TONE; THIS MAKES IT VERY EASY TO IDENTIFY BUTTONS/SWITCHES IN THE DARK; HOWEVER, SOME OF THE BUTTONS ALSO ARE REFLECTED ONTO THE SIDE WINDOWS, & END UP AS WELL ON THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS (IN PARTICULAR, THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR, TRACTION CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE, & DYNAMIC RADAR BUTTONS, WHICH ARE LOCATED ON THE DASHBOARD JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. MY DEALERSHIP TRIED THEIR BEST TO CORRECT THE ABOVE "DESIGN FAULTS", BUT WERE UNABLE TO DO SO. I HAVE 2 CASE #'S: ONE IS WITH THE DEALERSHIP --#[XXX]; THE OTHER IS WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE, #[XXX].

  CAR PULLS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. WHEN MAKING A TURN STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN. THE CAR JUST KEEPS TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON VERY LOW SPEEDS OR SPEEDS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SENSOR PROBLEM, ALTERNATOR PROBLEM OR SOMETHING INVOLVING THE TOW BAR OR RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY.

THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO VERIFY WHY HE MISSED THE STOP SIGN AND REALIZED THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ONLY ILLUMINATED THE IMMEDIATE AREA IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO ILLUMINATE IN THAT MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

• 12/06/2018· STRUCTURE

  WHEN FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR AREA WHEN TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY OR DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD OR SPEED BUMP AND THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY. BUT RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE SOUND HAS BECOME LOUDER SO BROUGHT IT INTO TOSERVCO TOYOTA HONOLULU ON12/5/18. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM THE MOONROOF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT A CERTAIN ANGLE AND GO OVER A BUMP OR ROUGH ROAD. APPARENTLY FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE ROOF IS NOT PROPERLY REINFORCED IN THE FRAME. SO IT'S BASICALLY ' SHIFTING' AND THUS THE SOUND IS HEARD. REPAIRING IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. IT ALSO INVOLVES REMOVING THE HEADLINER AND DOORS. AFTER DOING ALL OF THIS I'M WORRIED THAT MY CAR WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. WHAT IF SOMETHING ELSE GOES WRONG? I DON'T THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IF OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SHOULDN'T IT BE CONSIDERED A MANUCTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED?

• 12/05/2019· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROLCrash

  THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN A DRIVEWAY, I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE AND THE THROTTLE ACCELERATED FULL ON. I TRIED TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OUT OF THE STREET BUT I COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION AND BACKED INTO A BOLDER RETAINING WALL. TOYOTA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID IT SHOWED ACCELERATION AND BRAKING BUT DENIED RESPONSIBILITY.

• 12/03/2020· STEERING

  AS I DRIVE DOWN A ROAD MOSTLY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED, THE STEERING GOES VERY ERRATIC. IT GETS A WIDE RANGE OF MOVEMENT AND FEELS AS IF I AM LOSING CONTROL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AS I DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT UP AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS FOR STEERING IN THE 2015 CAMRY, BUT, NO RECALL FOR MY CAR WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN #.

I WAS RECOMMENDED TO BUY A NEW ONE, ALSO ADVISED THAT NEXT TIME TO GET IT OPENED IT MAY HAVE TO BE BROKEN OFF. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT THE HOOD MAY GET STUCK IN THE OPENED POSITION, OR COME OPENED. I DID NOT PURCHASE IT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

  I GREW UP ON A FARM AND HAVE WORKED ON MANY MACHINES OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE OWNED CARS, TRUCKS, MOTORCYCLES AND A BOAT. I UNDERSTAND HOW VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED TO WORK. MY CAR IS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, 2.5L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE SAFETY ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR BEGAN SOMEWHERE AROUND 20,000 MILES AND ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO TO TRAFFIC, AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LOSE OF POWER. THE THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND DOWNWARD TREND IN RPMS. THE NEXT TIME I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE I REPORTED THIS. THE SERVICE TECH REPORTED THERE WERE NO CODES AND THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE RECREATED. NOW THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES AT USUALLY AT BETWEEN 2000-3000 RPMS. IT HAS HAPPENED TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AND JUST HAVING THE CAR A HEAD MOVE FORWARD AND ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE FORWARD AS WELL TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN VERY INTERMITTENT, OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION AND USUALLY BETWEEN 40-60 MPH, AND SOMETIMES NOT OCCURRING FOR MONTHS AT A TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORP AT THE ADVICE OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEAL SHIP. I HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BY THE CASE MANAGERS AT TOYOTA, SHUFFLED OFF TO NEW CASE MANAGERS AND ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED UNTIL IT COULD BE RECREATED. I SHOULD STOP EVERYTHING AND RETURN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH INSTANCE. FINALLY, THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR A WEEK AND THE ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE TECHNICIAN WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE CASE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAD TO BE RECREATED AGAIN.TOYOTA WOULD RATHER HAVE A DRIVER ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THEN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. NOW THE CAR SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY, MOSTLY UNUSED. THE DEALER WILL NOT GIVE DECENT TRADE VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

  To the esteemed officials of the US Department of Transportation, My name is [XXX] and I am the owner of a 2015 Toyota Camry SE. I recently had my car repaired for a completely separate issue and while I addressed a problem with the steering, my mechanic made me aware of a 2015 recall for the Electrical Power Steering electronic control unit. I was provided with information regarding it. While my VIN number was not listed as an automobile affected by this issue, it is evident that this is what's occurring. My days have been spent on the phone with the manufacturer and was told numerous times that my VIN number was not identified in said recall. As a result, I was told not to drive my car due to it being a safety concern, meaning I could lose overall control of the car, and I am now lacking transportation. Please advise on how to proceed, I would like to get this matter resolved in a reasonable time.

  VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND AND AS IT CUTS OFF SPLASHES GASOLINE. NOT ONLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO USE THE CAR, IT IS DANGEROUS. I NOTICED THE FLAP OR THE COVER TO GAS CAP AREA NOT SEALED WELL AND WHEN DRIVING SO MUCH DUST SUCKS IN AND ACCUMULATE ON AND AROUND THE GAS CAP AREA. EVERY TWO THREE MONTHS I KEPT CLEANING AND VACUUMING THE GAS CAP AREA. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AND EVENTUALLY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP THE TANK, CONSTANTLY CUTTING OFF AND SPLASHING GASOLINE.
