2015 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

WENT TO THE WALMART TIRE & AUTO CENTER IN SAND SPRINGS, OK (STORE #00838) FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES. WHEN I LEFT, THE TPMS WAS SHOWING AN ERROR. I RETURNED TO THE CENTER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD CLEAR ON ITS OWN. IT DID NOT. THEY HAD BROKEN ONE OF THE TPMS SENSORS WHICH IS WHY THE SYSTEM WAS FAULTING. SO, THEY SENT ME AWAY WITH A FAULTY TPMS THAT THEY DAMAGED. I TRIED TO GET IT REPAIRED AT MY HOMETOWN WALMART IN SEARCY, AR BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY REPAIRED IT AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART MANAGEMENT ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH NO RESPONSE. I CONTACTED WALMART CORPORATE IN BENTONVILLE, AR AND THEIR RESPOSE WAS TO CONTACT THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO DO. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF THE TPMS SENSOR THAT WAS BROKEN BY THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART, AND A PICTURE OF THE AFTER-MARKET TPMS SENSOR THAT WAS INSTALLED BY THE SEARCY, AR WALMART THAT WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY TOYOTA. I HAVE COPIES OF LETTERS TO BOTH THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART AS WELL AS WALMART CORPORATE THAT I CAN PROVIDE UPON REQUEST. I THOUGHT THE NHTSA SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE SAND SPRINGS WALMART TIRE & AUTO CENTER WAS DAMAGING THE TPMS ON CARS AND SENDING VEHICLES ON THEIR WAY WITH FAULTY TPMS. I HAVE INCLUDED AN IMAGE OF THE SERVICE ORDER #485700 42175 WHICH INDICATES THEY RESET THE TPMS WHICH CLEARLY DID NOT HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAS A SIGNATURE ON THE FORM THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MINE.

MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND LAST WEEK I STARTED TO HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AS I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET. I THOUGHT THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. UPON CHECKING ALL TIRES THE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR OUT AGAIN AND THE STEERING CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE LEFT. I RETURNED TO HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND IT PERFORMED NORMALLY. I DROVE IT FOR TWO MORE DAYS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I TOOK A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WANTED TO CONTINUE TURNING LEFT. FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES THE CAR CONTINUED PULLING LEFT. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SUGGESTED THE NORMAL THINGS TIRE PRESSURE, ALIGNMENT, ETC. HOWEVER A CHECK OF THOSE PROVED NOT TO BE THE CAUSE. THEY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER 2015 CAMRY OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A LIMITED RECALL ON THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. TODAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NORMAL. IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE PULLING SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND CONTINUED PULLING TO THE LEFT FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE IT RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALL HAPPENED DURING CITY DRIVING WITH SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH. THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR FRONT END COLLISION FOUR MONTH AGO. THE DAMAGE WAS COSMETIC INCLUDING THE FRONT BUMPER GRILL AND HOOD. THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL DAMAGE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN A BODY SHOP AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST WEEKS INCIDENT WITH THE STEERING.

THE 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SPORADICALLY PULLS HARD TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AT SLOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS (BETWEEN 5-50 MPH). THIS JUST SUDDENLY BEGAN TO HAPPEN. WITH FORCE THE VEHICLE CAN BE KEPT IN LINE, BUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. I CHECKED AND THIS VEHICLES VIN IS NOT IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL.

THE AIR BAG , HORN , POWER STEERING ALL LOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. CAR IS ONE OWNER AND HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP CLOCK SPRING WAS BAD. CLOCK SPRING ON PRIOR YEAR WAS ON RECALL. HOWEVER RECALL HAD NOT BEEN TO THIS VEHICLE. I NEED HORN AND AIR BAG.

I HAVE COMPLAINED AT EVERY OIL CHANGE ABOUT HOW OUR CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHILE IN GEAR ON A SMALL INCLINE MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ROLL BACK COLLISION WHEN REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE TO PLACE IT ON ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY SINCE PURCHASE

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS LITERALLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT GET ACCELERATION. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTED.

2015 CAMRY HAS EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE SAME TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS THAT WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THIS YEAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE ON THIS YEAR. STARTED OUT WITH SHUDDER AROUND 25-30MPH, NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING AROUND 35-45MPH, VEHICLE WILL ALSO REV OUT IN GEAR GIVING NO ACCELERATION. NOW THIS CAR IS BARELY EVEN DRIVABLE. THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING UP TO THE HIGHEST GEARS EVEN WHEN SPEED IS VERY LOW, AS THOUGH YOU WERE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AT 15MPH IN FIFTH GEAR. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS THAT HELPED AND NOW NO LONGER WILL, WERE PUNCHING THE THROTTLE DURING A SHUDDER TO DOWNSHIFT, OR DOWNSHIFTING IN THE MANUAL MODE. UNHOOKING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN THE SYSTEM POWER TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO LEARNING MODE, WHICH HELPED FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE LIMPS AROUND WITH ANY TYPE OF DRIVING, SHIFTS TO GEARS THAT ARE TOO HIGH FOR THE APPROPRIATE SPEED WITH DANGEROUSLY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION OR NONE AT ALL, AND SHUDDERS IN TWO SPEED RANGES.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT STAYED LIT AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. BRAKES WERE NOT AS EFFECTIVE IN STOPPING VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE CHECK. DEALER STATES THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED AND THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REFLASHED. ERROR CODE C1141. WOULD NOT EXPECT THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO HAVE THIS SHORT OF A LIFE.

DRIVING DOWN A FAMILIAR INTERSTATE, I-96, BETWEEN HOWELL AND BRIGHTON, MICHIGAN, THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED.

I GOT CAMRY SE 2015 IN AUGUST 2015 AND AFTER 18 MONTHS BATTERY TOTALLY OUT OF FUNCTION SO I REPLACED BATTERY NOW LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE ISSUE WITH STEERING TROUBLE SHOOOTING. STEERING DOING BUZZING WEIRD SOUND AND I CONTACT TO TOYOTA BECAUSE I HEARD THAT 110,000 RECALLS THOSE TIME FOR STEERING ISSUE AND THEY SAID AS PER YOUR VIN NUMBER YOUR VEHICLE NOT RECALL. I WENT TO CAR MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND A THIS SOUND. I AM WORRYING ABOUT ANY MY CAR IS EFFECTED ANY MANUFACTURER ISSUE BECAUSE WITHIN SHORT TIME BATTERY GONE AND NOW STEERING ISSUE.
