2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD WAS VERY STICKY AND THE SUN GLARE REFLECTED OFF THE DASHBOARD UNTO THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING BLURRY VISION AND THE INABILITY TO SEE THE ROADWAY CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,035.

MAJORITY OF DASH HAS A THICK, STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD VERY DIFFICULT.

PASSENGER SIDE SHADE VISOR SAGGED DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 2011 CAMRY SE, SAME THING HAPPENED ON MY 2007 CAMRY SE AND A RECALL FIXED THAT. WHY IS THIS 2011 CAMRY TO BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA AS WAS THE 2007? ALSO, THE SUN ROOF HAS BEEN NOISY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AUG 31, 2010. WHY IS THAT NOT RECALLED.? AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES? *TR

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

ON MARCH 18, 2020 I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A STEEP GRADE DURING A WINTER STORM AND WAS PART OF AN ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED HITTING THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING MY CAR TO SPIN OUT AND SUSTAIN A TOTAL LOSS OF DAMAGE. LUCKILY I RECEIVED NO INJURIES BUT IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION DUE TO THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND THEY DID NOT. THE VEHICLE IS BEING HELD IN A LOT IN CASE IT NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED. TOYOTA HAS STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE UNLESS THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS THE EDR.

WELL OUT OF NO WHERE MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT CUT OFF. I WAS TOLD IT S A AIRBAG RECALL

MY ENGINE STALLS AT DIFFERENT POINTS WHETHER I'M ACCELERATING AND SPECIALLY WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE JULY 2018 AND IT HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE HAD IT.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.

WHILE PARKING, SUDDEN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. LOUD RACING ENGINE. HIT CAR IN FRONT BOUNCED TURNED WHEEL LEFT , HIT WALL NYCPD REPORT 2020 020 000032. CAR TOWED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. UNABLE TO CONTROL ENGINE SPEED (RACING ENGINE NEVER OCCURRED 20 YEARS CAMRY DRIVING ) BWAY 82-81 ST MANH AUTO SHIFT 4 CY

CAR PARKED, ENGINE OFF, WHILE CHECKING FLUIDS, THE HOOD SUPPORT LINKS FAILED AND THE HOOD HIT ME IN THE HEAD. VIA TELEPHONE, TOYOTA REP @ HEADQUARTERS SAID THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND NO RECALL BLAH BLAH BLAH. UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING 9 YEARS OLD, THESE PARTS ARE NEVER USED AND SHOULD FUNCTION. HOW OFTEN IS THE HOOD OPENED? VERY RARELY. FAULTY DESIGN PERHAPS OR MY IGNORANCE? THANK YOU.
