2005 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

EVER SINCE THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY A SUPER SENSITIVE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. WHEN ROUTINELY BRAKING OVER A POTHOLE OR SMALL ROAD DISTURBANCE, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS TRIGGERED. THIS IN TURN CAUSES CAR TO ROLL MUCH FURTHER THAN IT IS SUPPOSE TO. I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN TO DEALER THROUGH THE YEARS AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PADS AND DISCS ARE ALL FINE, THE CAR IS ALREADY AROUND 9 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT BECAUSE WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR EXTENSIVELY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

VSC WARNING LIGHT, VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING, TRAC WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING. ENGINE SPUTTERS ON ACCELERATION, FEEL SHIFTS IN DRIVETRAIN, FROM FULL STOP AT RED LIGHT. ENGINE STALL HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT ENGINE SEEMS TO WANT TO DYE. SHIFTING IN THE DRIVETRAIN SEEMS TO SLIP AND BREAK WHILE ACCELERATING. LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER STARTUP, WITH STANDARD CHECK ENGINE *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES (MORE THAN 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR) THAT THE SEAT BELT TWISTS AND GETS STUCK IN THE GUIDE. IT IS NOT EASY TO UN-TWIST IT AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IT WITH THE BELT LOOSE. IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET IT STRAIGHTENED OUT IN THE GUIDE AND GET IT TO RETRACT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

MY CAR IS 88000 MILES, ITS 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ONE FINE DAY, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I GOT AN ENGINE LIGHT CHECK. I COULDN'T STOP ON THE ROAD, SO TOOK AN EXIT AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN WHILE ON THE EXIT RAMP THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY. I THOUGH ITS ONE OFF INCIDENT AND START IT AGAIN AND STARTED DRIVING, BUT AT THE NEXT IMMEDIATE SIGNAL LIGHT, I HAD TO STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CAR MECHANIC, THEY SAID, IT'S THE ENGINE LOCKED PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WANTED TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND GOT IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, HE TOLD THE SAME, ENGINE LOCKED. IF I WERE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHOP THEY WOULD TAKE EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO JUST FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY PISSED THAT TOYOTA CAMRY ENGINE WOULD FAIL FOR 88,000 MILES. TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY LE, I BOUGHT GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES BACK IN MAY 2010 AS A SET OF 4 TIRES. THESE TIRES HAVE A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY OF 80000 MILES THOUGH AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 35000 MILES THE TIRE TREAD DEPTH CAME DOWN TO BELOW 2/32ND AND THE DEALER DENIED TAKING THE CAR OUT OF DEALERSHIP WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT OR AN ASSURANCE OF IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE WITHIN 2 HRS AFTER COMING OUT OF DEALERSHIP AS THEY DIDN'T HAVE A READY AVAILABLE TIRE FROM NON-GOODYEAR BRAND. I AM WONDERING HOW THIS TIRES GOT DOWN TO SUCH A LOW TREAD DEPTH SO SOON? I MOSTLY DRIVE IN THE CITY AND ONLY FEW TIME HIGHWAY THAT TOO NOT MORE THAN 300 MILES. THIS CERTAINLY IS THE WORST TIRES. GOODYEAR DENIED PROVIDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE AS TO DO SO I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THEIR AUTHORIZED SHOP AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT ONE OF THEIR AUTHORIZED SHOP, WHICH IS SURPRISING. SINCE DEALER TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE TIRE IMMEDIATELY, MY FIRST PRIORITY WAS TO GET NEW TIRES AND WITH SUCH WORST EXPERIENCE WITH GOODYEAR, I DIDN'T WANTED THEM AGAIN. AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THEIR TIRE FOR WARRANTY IF THEY ARE NOT ON THE WHEEL. VERY RIDICULOUS RULES THAT PUTS GREEDY PROFIT BEFORE SAFETY! MY DEALER ALSO FOUND THIS ODD. I WANT MONEY BACK FOR ALMOST HALF OF THE TOTAL MILEAGE PROMISED BY GOODYEAR BUT THEY ARE TOO CORRUPT AND SO THEY HAVE NHTSA ALSO ON THEIR SIDE TO BRING ANYTHING AGAINST THEM. *TR

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; HOWEVER; THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO FLIP OVER WHEN DRIVING PAST 60. HAD TO HAVE BRAKES CHANGED TWICE. CAR HAS ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST TWICE IN A TWO YEAR SPAN WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR. BIGGEST PROBLEMS ARE THE WHEELS WHICH MAKE THE CAR RIDE SEEM UNSTABLE BUT ONLY GOT TIRES ROTATED ONCE; HOWEVER, VEHICLE SEEMS TO RUN LOP-SIDED? *TR
