2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHEN AIR BAG OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY TOLD ME THE AIR BAG SENSOR HAD FALLEN OFF THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH BEFORE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING TO 55 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX TOYOTA (10201 PHILADELPHIA RD, WHITE MARSH, MD 21162) ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,100.

WHILE GOING DOWN HILL THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT ON IT'S OWN TO LOWER GEARS AND SPEED. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOWER SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT, AND THAT THERE ARE NO CODES. IT'S IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT'S NOW HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.

VEHICLE HAVE NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT. BUT HESITATES N VIBRATES BETWEEN 2 AND 3 GEAR.

I JUST LEARNED THAT MY TOYOTA WAS COVERED UNDER A RESTRICTED RECALL UNTIL 10/31/17. MY CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTED SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES WITH VIBRATION AT 35-45MPH. I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL CARS WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

WE HAVE HAD ALL FOUR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS REPLACED... BEFORE 40,000 MILES!!! AND ALL WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF EACH OTHER...UGH!!! BUT AT LEAST THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY, THANK GOD, BECAUSE IF THEY WEREN'T, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN $1,700. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA PRODUCTS, I GUESS THEY JUST HAVE VERY WEAK DOOR LOCK MOTORS. THIS IS THE ORDER THEY WENT OUT IN: DRIVERS, REAR PASSENGER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND REAR DRIVER. BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY WENT OUT, THEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK. YOU COULD SEE THE DOOR LOCK INDICATOR TRYING TO MOVE, BUT IT COULDN'T MOVE ALL THE WAY INTO THE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED POSITION. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHEN IT EITHER WAS SUPER COLD OR SUPER HOT OUTSIDE. WHAT WAS SUPER ANNOYING WAS IF ONE DOOR LOCK DIDN'T LOCK, THE ENTIRE CAR UNLOCKED ITSELF. SO YOU WOULD WALK AWAY THINKING THE CAR WAS LOCKED, WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T. EVENTUALLY THEY JUST QUIT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ALL TOGETHER. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CAR HAS BEEN FLAWLESS. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAR, WE ARE TOYOTA PEOPLE FOR LIFE! HOWEVER, I FIGURE IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM, TOYOTA WILL RECALL THEM OR DO SOME SORT OF SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THEM.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS ON LOW SPEEDS AT 100K MILES, SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A TOYOTA

MARCH 2017 NOTICED A MOLD SMELL IN CAR. FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES OF CAR WET. FRONT AND BACK SEAT. MECHANIC FILES INSURANCE CLAIM. ALL MOLD WAS REMOVED. ALL PADDING WAS REPLACED. CARPET WAS DISINFECTED, SHAMPOOED AND PUT BACK IN CAR. JANUARY 2019 MOLDY SMELL AGAIN, FLOORBOARDS WET, ODOR WORSE THAN BEFORE.

THE CAR HAD BEEN GIVEN US STALL PEOBLEMS FOR QUITE A WHILE.THE TOYOTA PLACE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE EVENTS.ON FEB 2 1918 MY WIFE DROVE OVER TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE .SHE PULL INTO YARD,AND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE ABOUT 30 FEET FROM HOUSE,THE CAR EXCELETRATED INTO HOUSE WIDE OPEN.SHE SAID WHEN SHE APPLIED BRAKE IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.THE HOUSE WAS DAMAGED,KNOCKING OUT THE FLOOR JOIST.SHE HAD PULLED INTO HOUSE AT 113 IDA ST.HOT SPRINGS AR.THE HOUSE SITS ABOUT 50 FEET FROM STREET.SINCE THE ACCIDENT SHE IS HAVING MEMORY PROBLEMS.THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED TOTAL LOSS.WE PURCHASED A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY LE,WITH ABOUT THE SAME MILES ON IT.WE ARE HAVING THE SAME STALL PROBLEMS WITH IT.IF YOU STOP THE PULL OUT AND TURN INTO TRAFFIC,SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL1 TO 3 SECONDS.WE ARE DEEPLY WORRIED ABOUT GETTING HIT BY ONCOMMING DRIVERS..

WHEN TURNING TO A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP AFTER SLOWING FOR THE TURN THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE RAMP THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE AND RE-APPLY THE ACCELERATOR TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT CAUSING BRAKES TO TAKE OVER SPEED CONTROL. THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE EXPECTATION WHEN ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP IS THAT ACCELERATION IS GOING TO OCCUR, TRAFFIC BEHIND ME COULD NOT ONLY BE IRATETHATIAM NOT ACCELERATING(STARTINGAROAD RAGE INCIDENT)BUT IT COULD ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FROM THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME NOT EXPECTING A SLOW DOWN ON THE RAMP. TOYOTA MADE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AND AM STILL COVERED BY THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS WAS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFAULT IN MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED SHOWS WHAT MY COMPLAINT WAS TO THE DEALER AND WHAT DEALER DID TO FIX IT WITH MY PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED.
