2011 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.

THE DASH BOARD OF THE CAR SEEMS TO BE MELTING AS IT IS GETTING STCKY AS THE DAYS PASSES BY AND DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AS YOU CANNOT POT YOUR HAND ON IT AND IF YOU TRY CLEANING THE MELTING PLASTIC COMES OUT SCRATCHING WITH CLOTH/FINGERS. IT IS DRIVING HAZARD AS IN SUM THERE IS TOO MUCH GLARE COMING FROM SASH BOARD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE.AS IT CANNOT BE CLEANED THE DUST AND OTHER PARTICLES ARE GETTING ACCUMULATED ON THE DASH.IT IS GETTING WORSE AS DAYS ARE PASSING

DASHBOARD MELTING I BEEN COMPLAINING TO TOYOTA FOR A FEW YEARS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SMELL OF MELTING DASHBOARD AND HAZY WINDSHIELD. THE IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME

LAST JUNE (2017) I WAS DRIVING AND NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS HITTING THE SIDE WALK AND THEN WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM W/BALL JOINT - LOWER FRONT SUSPENSION AND ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW TIRE. SAW ON A WEBSITE THIS ITEM WAS RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 14V732000. I

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAME DISCONNECTED AND LODGED IN ANGLED, PARTIALLY DOWN POSITION WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO FULLY DISCONNECT VISOR AS IT WAS FULLY STUCK OTHERWISE. REVIEWING TONIGHT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS ERA CAMRY.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR RELEASED WILL DRIVING ON FREEWAY. WOULD NOT STAY IN PLACE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY REMOVE VISOR FROM ROD TO SEE. THE NEXT WEEK, PASSENGER SIDE VISOR RELEASED AND WOULD NOT HOLD POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A COMPOST BIN, A FENCE, AND A SNOW MOUND, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

EXHAUST BACKS UP INTO CAB OF CAR WHEN DRIVING ENTER CITY OR HIGHWAY, AND A VERY FAINT IN NOISE IN HEATING AND/OR AIR CONDITION UNITE. NOTICED ALL WHEN PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET AT NIGHT AND SUDDENLY BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY, BUT THE SPEED COULD NOT EXCEED 25 MPH. SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC OBD-II CODE WAS P2128. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS OPEN CIRCUIT 552011. THE COST WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE HERE NOW TO REPORT IT. ALSO, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT TOYOTA HAD RESOLVED THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND WAS STICKY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AUTONATION TOYOTA SCION, WINTER PARK, FL, 407-678-1234) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.
