2005 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN WISCONSIN 2004. MOVED CAR TO FLORIDA IN 2009. CAR SITS IN GARAGE FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. WE ARRIVED IN FLORIDA IN OCTOBER 2012 AND TOOK THE CAR OUT OF GARAGE. IT SAT IN PARKING LOT FOR ONE HOUR. WE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD HAD A BRIGHT SHINE AND WAS STICKY. WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN GARAGE IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. BACK OUT IN THE HEAT AND SUN IT ONCE AGAIN APPEARS TO BE MELTING. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THE GLARE. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. JUST RECENTLY HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN THIS SAFERCAR.GOV SITE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. AS OF THIS DATE THE CAR CONTINUES TO "MELT" WHEN OUTSIDE AND NO HELP FROM DEALER. *TR

APPROX 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECALIBRATE IT, AND I WAS CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $90.00 FOR THE WORK.. IT WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS, AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SHOWING THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE OR NOT, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $90.00 EVERY TWO WEEKS TO HAVE AN AIRBAG RE-CALIBRATED. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS WITH THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IS OKAY. WHAT SHOULD I DO. *TR

I NOTICED SOMETIME BACK THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER IS COMING UNDONE. *TR

ONE EARLY EVENING A DEER JUMPED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT THE DEER HEAD ON ABOUT 35 - 40 MPH. IT STOPPED MY CAR THE IMPACT WAS SO BIG. THE WEIRDEST THINGS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE THOUGH. MY BUMPER IS MESSED UP DENT IN THE HOOD BUT INSTEAD OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING THE SENSOR BROKE OFF AND STARTED DANGLING BEHIND MY BUMPER UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT BAD WHIPLASH AND BACK PAIN FROM MY HEAD HITTING THE WHEEL, WHY DIDN'T MY SEAT BELT LOCK OR AIRBAG GO OFF? I JUST DON'T GET IT. CAN YOU HELP PLEASE? *TR

I WAS TRYING TO PARK MY VEHICLE, SUDDENLY GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND RAN IN TO THE BUSHES, MY CAR HAS A BODY DAMAGE AND ALSO I ACCIDENTALLY HIT ANOTHER CAR AS WELL. THE CORE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE IS GAS PEDAL GETTING LOCKED, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCE THIS IN THE VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT BY 2011. *TR
