2015 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

I RECENTLY WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT,I WAS HIT IN THE LEFT FRONT SIDE,OVER THE LEFT TIRE,CLOSE TO THE DRIVER DOOR,I WAS HIT REALLY BAD,MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSE,AND DURING THE ACCIDENT DIDN'T DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AT ANY TIME,I GOT HIT ON THE HEAD

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON 6 TIME SINCE 9/16. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, ONCE WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, OTHER TIMES WHEN BRAKING HARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION FAILED AND THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

THE AIRBAG IS PUSHING THE COVER, LOOKS LIKE THE GAS IS LEEK, AND DEALER REPLACE THE FIRST TIME, BUT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AGAIN, THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY.

1ST INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION DRIVING STRAIGHT UPHILL ON 2 LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT 30 MPH - CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD - LASTED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. 2ND INCIDENT: CAR STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT. STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE STRAIGHT AHEAD AND CAR DIDN'T MOVE. STEPPED HARDER ON ACCELERATOR AND CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED AND SPED UP VERY FAST. 3RD INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION AND TURNED ONTO DEAD END STREET. CAR STARTED TO LURCH FORWARD AT SPEED OF ABOUT 20 MPH WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN STREET - LASTED A FEW SECONDS. 4TH INCIDENT: CAR IN MOTION ON ROUTE 17WEST IN NY STATE (3 LANE HIGHWAY WITH VERY BUSY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC) - DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 - 70 MPH - IN LEFT HAND PASSING LANE. CAR STARTED TO LURCH VERY HARD AND THEN LOSE POWER - ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT TRYING TO MOVE OVER 2 LANES TO SHOULDER. CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD VERY HARD AND THEN SLOWING DOWN PRACTICALLY TO A STAND STILL - DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES UNTIL WE COULD GET IT OFF EXIT AND INTO A GAS STATION. CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP - THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. CAR IS NOW SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT ANY FURTHER! INNOCENT PEOPLE COULD GET KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. WE HAVE NOW REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO 3 DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT HESITATES AS IF THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO. IT WILL GO ABOUT 5 -10 FEET JUST ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT THERE INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN NOSE DIVES BECAUSE IT LOSES ALL FORWARD POWER, STEADY PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL AND MILKING GAS PEDAL DOES NOT MAKE IT RESUME ANY FASTER. SO FAR IT HAS LASTED 30 TO 45 SECONDS AND THEN RESUMES. THE RPMS STAY AT ABOUT 1 (IDLE) AND THE ECO LIGHT FLASHES RANDOMLY BUT CAR DOES NOT STALL SO FAR JUST LOSES FORWARD MOTION AND WONT ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC ONCOMING AND BEHIND YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED 9-10 TIME OCT 2016-DEC 2016

AFTER MY 25,000 MILE MAINTENANCE CHECK I BEGAN NOTICING A FOUL ODOR UPON ENTERING THE CAR. ODDLY ENOUGH, THIS ODOR IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS. WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND THE FANS ARE BLOWING, THE SMELL REDUCES IN STRENGTH. HOWEVER, ANYTIME THE CAR IS OFF, THE CABIN FILLS ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS HORRIBLE FOUL ODOR. TO DESCRIBE THE SMELL I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S SIMILAR TO A GYM LOCKER ROOM MIXED WITH GARBAGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AS MY CAR IS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD AND IT IS SOLELY USED FOR COMMUTING. FOOD IS NOT CONSUMED IN THIS VEHICLE AND ONLY WATER IS DRANK. THE FACT THAT THE SMELL DISAPPEARS WHEN DRIVING WITH THE FANS ON LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A DEAD ANIMAL PRESENT IN THE CHASSIS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MECHANICAL ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN DEPRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

MY SON HAD DIFFICULTY BRAKING WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM STEPPED ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. CONSEQUENTLY, MY SON HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE TO THAT CAR, A TOYOTA. MY SON'S CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO THE IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 AT LESS THAN THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THESE ARE MY OEM TIRES ON MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 13,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE THE OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 TIRES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH LE MIEUX & SON TOYOTA IN GREEN BAY, WI. THE OWNER IS TOM LE MIEUX AND IS THE PERSON I TALKED WITH AMONG HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALESMAN. THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS ACTUALLY EVEN ACROSS THE FRONT TIRES AT 7/32 AND 8/32 ON REAR TIRES. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER TREAD PATTERN IS ALMOST GONE EACH TIRE AND EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT TREAD PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF THE MIDDLE TREAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED THREE TIMES NOW ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MY MAINTENANCE BOOK. PER TOM LE MIEUX AND HIS STAFF THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF THE ODD CENTER TREAD PATTERN WEAR. TOYOTA PUTS THIS JUNK ON THEIR VEHICLES AND ONE SHOULD ONLY EXPECT TO GET 20,000 MILES FROM THEM. LOOSING THE TREAD PATTERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ALREADY HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES SLIP DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE ALSO SLIP WHEN CORNERING ON WET PAVEMENT. I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY WITH THE SAME TIRES ON IT AND BASICALLY HAD A SIMILAR WEAR ISSUE PROBLEM IN 2008. AT THAT TIME BRIDGESTONE WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TURANZA TIRES AND TOYOTA REPLACED MY TIRES. NOT THIS TIME THEY SAY.
