2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

MY CAR GETS STUCK AT 40 MPH WHEN PRESSING ON GAS I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DISSATISFACTION WITH THE VOICE RECOGNITION FUNCTION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VOICE RECOGNITION FUNCTION DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT NAME WHEN MAKING A PHONE CALL. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. WHILE REVERSING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND MADE A SQUEAKING NOISE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED TO VISIT A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V144000 (STEERING). THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 201,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES MOVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THEN HESITATE FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS. IT WILL THEN ACCELERATE NORMALLY. ONE TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND THEN THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPM REMAINED AT IDLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED AND PUSHED DOWN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED ONLY ONE TIME. THE INTERMITTENT HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE CROSS TRAFFIC IS UNCONTROLLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION. THE U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER RECALL UPGRADE WAS PERFORMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT SOME TRANSMISSION HESITATION WAS NORMAL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO SAID THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NOT NORMAL.

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BEING HACKED AND HACKERS GAINING CONTROL OVER STEREO SYSTEM. *LD *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE NORMALLY. WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

FREQUENT HESITATION IN ACCELERATION AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN RE-ACCELERATING. ALSO HESITATES AFTER TURNING OR ENTERING ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP. HAVE REPORTED PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NO PROBLEM CAN BE DETECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER OPERATE BY REMOTE. THIS IS NOT A REMOTE PROBLEM SINCE MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DO RESPOND. I BELIEVE THE FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE REPAIRS FOR THIS WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA. I THINK THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

CAR SHAKES AT LOW SPEEDS, WHAT'S TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT IS A TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH IS NOT COVERED FOR MY CAR. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME THIRTY NINE HUNDRED. I SPENT $1,000 FOR PARTS AND GOT SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT FOR $2,000. NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED ONLINE BY MANY OTHERS AND STILL NO RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AT SPEEDS OF 30 TO 50 MPH. THE 2014 CAMRY HAS AN ABRUPT DEACCELERATION AND SHUDDER CAUSING OTHER VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND ME TO APPLY SUDDEN BRAKES THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES TO DRIVERS. PRIOR TO PURCHASING, I CONTACTED RICHARDSON TX DEALERSHIP AND PROVIDED VIN AND MILEAGE 164K TO SERVICE ADVISER. SERVICE ADVISER SAID NO PROBLEM, TOYOTA WILL COVER THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SINCE I WAS ADVISED IT WAS COVERED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MILEAGE BEING OVER 150,000 MILES. I CONTACTED CORPORATE OFFICE VIA PHONE. CANDY, THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE VIEWS MY PROFILE ON TOYOTA.COM AND CONFIRMS VIN AND MILEAGE AND STATES IT IS COVERED AND CALLS DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP TELLS CANDY IT WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND CORPORATE WILL NEED TO ABSORB THE COST. CANDY ESCALATES PROBLEM TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER, JONATHON. I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE SUPERVISOR, MONIQUE VIA PHONE. MONIQUE ASKS FOR COST OF REPAIRS FROM DEALERSHIP 'BEFORE APPROVING ANYTHING.' JONATHON, THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER PROVIDES THE COST TO CORPORATE. THEN TOYOTA CORPORATE SUPERVISOR, MONIQUE DENIES COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL DAYS AND PHONE CALLS AND MISLEADING INFORMATION FROM DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A 2014 CAMRY XLE REQUIRING TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AFTER CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIP PERSONNELS PROVIDED WRONG INFORMATION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT REPAIR AND DID NOT SUBMIT THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP. THIS TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION IS WELL DOCUMENTED. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF JUST A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.
