2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, I HAVE BEEN SMELLING A MILDEW ODOR COMING FROM MY VENTS. I VACUUMED THE INTERIOR CARPETS WITH BAKING SODA AND SPRAYED THE VENTS WITH LYSOL. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE CAR FOR ANY LEAKAGE. NOTHING. I ALSO CHANGED MY CABIN AIR FILTER AGAIN. NO POSITIVE RESULTS. MY LAST OPTION WAS TO GOOGLE TOYOTA ODOR COMPLAINTS AND BINGO, OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS CERTAINLY IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS AND REPAIR, WITHOUT COST TO THE CAR OWNER.

SIRIUS XM RADIO HAS A RADIO DEVICE FOR CARS THAT DO NOT HAVE A BUILT IN XM RADIO. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT COMES WITH A 20 FOOT CORD. IT IS MEANT TO BE PLACED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CORD GOES THROUGH THE CAR AND IS PLACED ON TOP OF THE CAR. MY CORD GOT STUCK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND SNAPPED THE CLOCK SPRING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS ALL MY CAPABILITIES WERE RESTRICTED. MY HORN, AIRBAG AND CONTROLS WERE NOT OPERABLE. THIS WAS BECAUSE THE CLOCK SPRING GOT SEVERED. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

MY CAR DEVELOPED A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. THIS OCCURRED ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS VERY NEAR TO COMING APART - WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS SEAMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE COVERED UNDER NHTSA RECALL NOTICE 14V715000, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF THAT RECALL SO PERHAPS THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

TOUCH SCREEN RADIO BASS CONTROL STOPPED WORKING WURRING NOISE FROM STEERING WHEEL WHILE I TURN WHEEL IN REVERSE BACKING PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T TURN OFF

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.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I PRESS ON GAS ENGINE IS VIBRATION AND IT'S NOT MOVING. THE FRONT JUST DON'T FEEL RIGHT

MY SEATBELT WILL NOT STAY IN THE SLOT AFTER I BUCKLE IT. IT CLICKS, THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THEN IT STARTS SLIDING OUT, AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BEEPING STARTS. I HAVE TO HOOK IT IN THE SLOT FOR THE PASSENGER SEATBELT TO GET IT TO STAY. THIS IS WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WON'T STAY WHEN NOT DRIVING. I AM HAVING TO PAY $162 TO HAVE WHAT SHOULD BE AN UNBREAKABLE PART REPLACED AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT. I OWN TWO OLDER CARS, A 97 LINCOLN AND A 90 MIATA AND THOSE SEATBELTS WORK FINE.

FIRST NOTICED LAST YEAR 2018. HEAT AND A/C CONTROLS SEEMED TO BE FLUCTUATING. A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR A FEW TIMES, UNTIL I STARTED DRIVING A FEW MORE MILES, WORKED SOMEWHAT. NOW MARCH 2019, A/C SEEMED TO BE GETTING WARM IT IS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND THE OUTSIDE AIR CONTROL STAYS ON BUT SHOULD NOT WITH THE A/C CONTROL. HEAT SEEMS TO WORK ON AND OFF, JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS ALL WHILE DRIVING. I LEASED THIS CAR, THE ONLY OWNER, GARAGED AND ONLY 41K MILES. I ALSO GOT A WEIRD SMELL ONE TIME BUT CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS. I AM GOING TO CALL FLEMINGTON TOYOTA AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. PROBABLY NOT COVERED. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND THAT IS SO DISTRESSING AND DISHEARTENING.
