2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR (COMPARTMENT) WAS BROKEN AND FELL DOWN UNDER NORMAL USE. SINCE THE VISOR EDGE IS POINTING TO MY FOREHEAD DIRECTLY NOW AS I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION, THIS IS GOING TO BE LIFE-THREATENING IN CASE OF A CAR CRASH OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE TOO. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT UNDER ANY OF TOYOTA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY OR RECALL PROGRAMS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY TOYOTA. I WOULD REQUEST THAT PROPER ACTIONS BE TAKEN BEFORE THE ISSUE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL IS MISSING AT EACH OIL CHANGE. MOBILE 0W20 WITH NEW FILTER WAS USED AT EACH 6000 MILES INTERVAL. NO OTHER OIL WAS INTRODUCED TO THE ENGINE AND AT LEAST JUST ONE DELAY AT 7000 MILES INSTEAD OF 6000 MILES (1000 MILES OVER).

THE DASH IS COVERED WITH A STICKY SUBSTANCE. IT WAS JUST AN ANNOYANCE BUT NOW IN THE SUNSHINE, IT GLARES BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IS VERY HARD TO SEE. THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE.

ON DEC 18TH I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN LEFT ON TO ANOTHER RD THERE WAS A CAR THAT HAD GOT UP TO THE HIGH SPEEDS OF 75OR 80 AND I HAD MY LEFT TURN. SIGNAL ON AND AS I WAS TURNING AND HE RAN IN TO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND INJURED MY LEFT SHOULDER AND MY NECK BUT MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I'M NOW HAVING TO HAVE SURGERY I HOPE THEY CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WRECK AND AGAIN THANKS

WHEN I WENT TO SERVICE MY TOYOTA CAMRY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY STRUCTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAKING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, STRUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR MORE THAN 7-8 YEARS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT MY CAR WHICH IS JUST 5 YRS OLD WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES WOULD REQUIRE SUCH AN IMPORTANT VEHICLE COMPONENT TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE FOR CAMRY 2007 OR LATER MODELS. THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED BY TOYOTA. I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD TAKE SOME ACTION TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT THE STRUCTS BEING USED BY TOYOTA FOR CAMRY MODELS.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST STEERING WITH NO ABILITY FOR THE DRIVER TO CONTROL DIRECTION OF THE CAR. CAR DEPARTED FROM ITS LANE AND THEN CROSSED TWO LANES INVOLUNTARILY BUT LANES WERE FREE OF TRAFFIC SO AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND THE BRAKES DID REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE CAR. THE ABILITY TO STEER WAS RECOVERED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. A REVIEW OF THE COMPUTER DATA (TROUBLE CODES) INDICATED A FAILURE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR AND STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. MAURICE AT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AID THE TOYOTA COMPANY WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE AND HE ALSO SAID THAT, "NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GIVEN" AS THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.WE HAVE A CASE NUMBER FILED WITH TOYOTA. TOYOTA SAYS THIS HAZARDOUS AND TERRIFYING INCIDENT IS NOT THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW OR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WE HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THIS TOYOTA VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT TO IDLE WHILE PETAL WAS STILL DEPRESSED. LET OFF THE PEDAL AND PUSHED IT DOWN AGAIN AND IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEMS WITH UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION BEGAN WITH THIS CAR, BUT THEY ARE FAIRLY RECENT. ALL OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY. I DO NOT HAVE VERY GOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF THE EARLIEST OF THESE OCCURRENCES, BUT I CAN REMEMBER THE LAST THREE CLEARLY. THE FIRST OF THESE WAS IN MARCH 2015. I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH AND HAD STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I REMEMBER CLEARLY THAT I HAD MY FOOT SOLIDLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; I HAD BEEN MAKING A SPECIAL POINT OF THAT AS A RESULT OF THE EARLIER OCCURRENCES. I FELT THE ENGINE SPEED UP, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS ON MARCH 29TH WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR-WAY STOP. I WAS WAITING FOR A PEDESTRIAN (WALKING A DOG) WHO WAS CROSSING THE ROAD ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM WHERE I WAS STOPPED. I DO NOT HAVE A FIRM RECOLLECTION OF EXACTLY WHERE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS POSITIONED, BUT IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED, HEADING TOWARD THE PEDESTRIAN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING HER BY MAKING A SHARP RIGHT TURN INTO THE CROSS STREET AND THEN BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE THIRD OCCASION WAS ON APRIL 5TH. IN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR IN A LOT NEAR A GROCERY STORE, I TURNED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING SPACE. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL GENTLY TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP AT THE CURB ON A MEDIAN STRIP THAT SEPARATED MY PARKING AREA FROM A SIMILAR ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS JUST A FEW FEET FROM WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED OVER THE CURB, AND CROSSED THE MEDIAN, STRIKING AN UNOCCUPIED CAR PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR ONLY AFTER THE CRASH CAUSED SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPERS OF BOTH CARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ON OR ABOUT THE ABOVE DATE OF APRIL 15, 2015 I WASHED MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AT A LOCAL CAR WASH USING THEIR AUTOMATED HIGH PRESSURE WASH AND WAX. A FEW DAYS AFTERWARD I REALIZED THE CENTER TRUNK AREA, THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE, HELD 2 TO 3 INCHES OF WATER, AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUNK ALSO HAD WATER. I HAVE READ POST AFTER POST ONLINE STATING MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SOME HAVE STATED THE REAR WINDOW AND BODY PANELS WERE NOT SECURELY SEALED FROM THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY. IN JUNE OF 2014 WATER WAS GETTING INSIDE ON THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SOAKING THE CARPET COMPLETELY. THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE TUBE HAD PLUGGED UP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT CAUSED THE INTERIOR BY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TO BE SOAKED IN WATER. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ODOMETER JUST RECENTLY TURNED OVER 45,145 MILES. NOW, THERE IS ALREADY AN INDICATION OF MOLD, AND MOLD CAN BE DEADLY. *TR
