2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

CAR STARTS TO SHUTTER AND ACCELERATION DECREASED BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE SHUDDER CAUSES THE CAR TO LAG AT THIS TIME. WE BEGAN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 30,000 MILES FOR THE ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS A SERVICE ORDER TO CARS SOFTWARE BUT THAT STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT PROBLEM WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE ORDER, BUT NO NOTICE EVER CAME AND THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED WHEN CAR WAS TOOK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TOYOTA SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE CAR AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOR THIS CAR, COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS CUSTOMER SHOW THAT HALF OF THE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NEEDED REPLACED EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO RECALL OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2012-2014 CAMRY. THE LAG AND POTENTIAL MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS ARE A DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO THE LAG ON THIS CAR.

IS SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE CONDITIONS BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 25-50 MPH

AT 95,000 MILES A DAILY SHUDDER STARTED HAPPENING WHEN YOU FIRST PULL OUT OF SOMEWHERE AND START ACCELERATING USUALLY BETWEEN 15-45 MPH, THE SHUDDER CAUSES THE CAR TO LAG AT THIS TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING AND TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION , IT IS ACTUALLY SOFTWARE AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS TOYOTA ISSUED A SERVICE ORDER, BUT NO NOTICE EVER CAME AND THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED WHEN CAR WAS TOOK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS UP SAME MONTH I RECEIVED THE CAR FROM MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CAR. I CALLED TOYOTA WHO INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME SINCE THE EXTENDED DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED. I HAVE READ THAT HALF OF THE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE NEEDED REPLACED EVEN AFTER THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS HAD TO RECALL OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED 2012-2014 CAMRY? THE ESTIMATES TO FIX COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE CAR IS WORTH. THE LAG AND POTENTIAL MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS ARE A DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT TO THEIR MANY CONSUMERS AS NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LAYING AROUND TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY SURVIVE BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO THE LAG AND OTHER POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES THIS MAY CAUSE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE TOYOTA FIX THIS WITH US CAMRY OWNERS? THERE IS INFORMATION ON CARS.COM ABOUT THE SERVICE ORDER THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED.

BREAK BOOSTER IS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT WORKING AS DESCRIBED. INTERMITTENT MASTER WARNING LIGHT COMES UP. BECAUSE THE CORRECT FAILURE CODE DOESN'T COME UP TOYOTA SAYS I DON'T QUALIFY FOR ITS CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART . PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL SO OWNERS DON'T DIE FROM AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 25 TO 40 MPH THE CAR SHUDDER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATES. I BELIEVE IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARS AND I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX IT FOR FREE.

I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. IF THE TURN IS LONG, AS IN A CLOVERLEAF EXIT, THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST STOP. PRESSING THE GAS HAS NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WILL LAG UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPS OR UNTIL YOU COME OUT OF THE TURN. FROM WHAT I FIND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 AND LATER TOYOTA CAMRYS BUT DEALERS STONEWALL ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

THE FUEL PUMP.OFNTHE CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY WAS IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE SO WAS ABLE TO MANOEUVR TO THE SHOULDER, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CLUELESS AND TOOK COUPLE DAYS TO.FIGURE OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP BLEW UP, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE CURRENT PROBLEM OF.FUEL.PUMP.ON NEWER MODEL MAY ALSO.BE RELEVANT TO.OTHER.OLDER MODELS

THE SEATBELT DOESN'T CLICK INTO PLACE AND THE SENSOR DOESN'T SHOW ANYONE SITTING IN THE SEAT WHICH SHOWS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. VERY UNSAFE IF IN AN ACCIDENT.

AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS (OIL, BRAKE, ABS, CHECK ENGINE) ALL OF IT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND MADE A NOISE AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN , WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH A COMMUTE, AND THANK GOD I WAS NEAR A NEIGHBORHOOD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. I TRIED WAITING 10 MINUTE TO RESTART, AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN START BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING WAS DEAD AND THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THIS NEARLY KILLED ME.

I THOUGHT THAT BUYING A TOYOTA CAMRY WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIGHEST QUALITY. WELL I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS - TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE FACTORY WARRANTY ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT, ONLY FOR UNDER 150,000 MILES. I HAVE 155,000 MILES ON MY CAMRY XLE. SO I CALLED TOYOTA AND WANTED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THEM. THEY WERE NICE BUT IN THE END THEY WERE UNWILLING TO WORK ANYTHING OUT. LONG STORY SHORT I NEED TO SPEND $2500 IF I WANT TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE CAR IS NOW JUNK!
