2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT NOTICE IT AT FIRST, AS THE SUMMER WORE ON THE DASH BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I WAS HEADED FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO OHIO FOR MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS MORE THAN JUST A STICKY DASHBOARD. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ON THE WINDOW CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. NOT EXACTLY AN IDEAL TIME TO FIND OUT THE CAR YOU HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED WAS BARELY DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT!

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AUGUST 2016 I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE SUN VISOR ON THE DIVERS SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY RETRACTING BACK INTO POSITION (HALF POSITION). BY SEPTEMBER 2016, IT WAS NO LONGER RETRACTING AT ALL MAKING IT HARD FOR ME WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME IN TRAFFIC. BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2016, THE VISOR IS COMPLETELY OFF.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION; IT AFFECTS MY VISUAL RANGE. DASH BOARD STICKY; LEAVE IN AREA WHERE TEMPERATURE REACHES OVER 115* F.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT REMAIN UP AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS DRIVER'S VIEW AT ALL TIMES

IT HAPPENED 9/20/16 ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2010 WITH 57037 MILES I WAS DRIVING EAST IN THE SUN WITH SUN VISOR DOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VISOR COMES FROM THE LINK, SO I HAD IMMEDIATELY APPLY BRAKES TO AVOID ANY MISHAP DUE TO SUN VISOR BREAKING. THE SUN VISOR REPLACE/REPAIR IS COVERED BY THE TOYOTA WARRANTY BUT TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE COVERED THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, TOYOTA IS NOT ENTERTAINING THE CLAIM TO FIX OR REPLACE THE SUN VISOR. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL SUPER STEEL TIRES. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE FELL APART, THE FENDER LOOSENED, AND ALL THE SENSOR WIRES DISCONNECTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE TIRE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO GET THE AIR BAG DEPLOY INDICATOR RESET AT A DEALER, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I HAVE GOTTEN TWO OIL CHANGES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL TO EMPTY EVERY 4-5 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. I WORK AS A REALTOR PART-TIME AND FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FULL-TIME. MY DAILY COMMUTE (MON-FRI) IS ALL MAJOR HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE, FOR 3 HOURS ROUND-TRIP. AS A REALTOR, I DRIVE ALL THROUGHOUT THE DC, MARYLAND, VIRGINIA AREAS, 7 DAYS A WEEK.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK WHEN DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN. AND LATER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE TO BE CHECKED AT A DEALER WHO SAID EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE EXCEPT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKED WELL THIS TIME. TWO DAYS LATER, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNED ON ALL OF WARNING LIGHTS AND THEN WENT BLACK AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T SPEED IT UP. PULL OVER AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING TURNED TO BE OK. SO, I SENT IT THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I KEEP THE BROKEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN CASE FOR NEED OF FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

AT 70K MLS VEHICLE WAS LOOSING PRECISE STEERING AND EXPERIENCED SOME "BOUNCING" ON UNEVEN SURFACES DUE TO ALL 4 STRUTS LEAKING ESPECIALLY THE FRONT ONES. DEALER REPLACED ALL 4 (11/25/14) AND 30K LATER (05/20/20015) TWO FRONT ONES SHOWED THE LEAK AGAIN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN BOTH CASES THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OEM ONES. I OPENED CASE WITH TOYOTA (1605180624) AND WAS TOLD THAT SUCH ISSUE WAS NORMAL AND IT WAS NOTHING THEY WERE GOING TO DO.
