2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

I WAS JUST AT A STOPLIGHT. I WAS THE FIRST CAR. WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DID NOT PICK UP SPEED FOR AT LEAST A FULL MINUTE. I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND ME WOULD RUN INTO MY CAR OR START HONKING BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING SO SLOW. IT HAPPENED AT THE STOP LIGHT PRIOR TOO, BUT IT WASN'T AS NOTICEABLE BECAUSE I RAN INTO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALER AFTER I READ A REPORT ON CARS.COM THAT SAID THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE DUE TO A COMBINATION OF AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE GLITCH AND A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. I LATER READ THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL MAY NEED ADJUSTING BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL THINKS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON.

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GASOLINE SMELLS COMING FROM VEHICLE. *LD *JS

FROM A STOPPED POSITION, ACCELERATION HESITATES BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN SLOWING AND THEN ACCELERATING. UNSAFE FOR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

TOYOTA FAILS TO DISCLOSE THAT SUNROOF HAS DRAINS DESIGNED TO DISCHARGE WATER FROM THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. IF ONE OF THESE DRAINS GET CLOGGED (AND COULD HAPPEN VERY EASY) WATER GETS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WATER INFILTRATION CAN START WITH A VERY SLOW AMOUNT SO THE ISSUE IS NOT DISCOVERED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE UNDERNEATH THE CARPET IS A MATERIAL THAT ABSORBS THIS WATER. MOLD CAN BE DEVELOPED, AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS DURING DRIVING. MY SPOUSE ACCUSED BREATHING ISSUES AND PSORIASIS AND WE DISCOVERED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS GETTING RAIN WATER INSIDE.COULD BE FOR MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS, AS WELL AS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT - THERE IS NOT WAY TO ASSUME OR TO NOTICE HOW MUCH WATER YOU HAVE IN WHICH TIME BECAUSE YOU DISCOVER IT WHEN IS TOO LATE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE, CLAIMING THAT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. BUT IN THE TOYOTA OWNER MANUAL THIS DRAIN IS NOT DISCLOSED TO THE CUSTOMER, SO IT COULD TAKE A PERIODIC CHECK.ALSO LUSTINE TOYOTA FROM WOODBRIDGE VA WHERE WE SERVICE THE CAR AT EVERY SIX MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATION, WRITTEN OR NOT, ABOUT THESE DRAINS BUT INSTEAD CAN DIAGNOSE VERY QUICK THAT THE WATER IN THE CARPET COMES FROM CLOGGED DRAINS. HOW COME THAT TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT IS NOT RAISING ANY AWARENESS ABOUT IT, SO THE CUSTOMER CAN BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE INSTEAD OF HAVING THE VEHICLE FULL WITH WATER AND TO POSE DANGERS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS AROUND? TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE LIKE ANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE (SEE WW, CHRYSLER, VOLVO) FOR FAILURE TO DISCLOSE IMPORTANT CAR FEATURES. WE WILL NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE ISSUE TO BE CORRECTED ON THEIR EXPENSE BUT THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, REPRESENTED BY MRS. KRISTEN, REFUSES. OUR CASE NUMBER WAS 1802171412 PLEASE HELP

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 SE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED TO DO A HARD SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR THAT RESULTED IN ME NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SEE ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THEIR 2012 CAMRY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED ALREADY?!?! I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED OWNING A TOYOTA BUT NOW I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF THE BRAND. IF TOYOTA DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I THEN I AM DONE WITH TOYOTA.

MY TOYOTA WHEN I GO 40 MILES TO 60 BETWEEN IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE WHEN I PUSH THE GAS NOT STOPS SO IF I HAD TO GUESS JUST A LITTLE BIT STARTS TO SHUTTER MORE STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN SHE JUST PISSES ME OFF I OWE $13,000 ON THIS CAR RIGHT NOW I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT BY READING ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AND YOU GUYS WIN BIG AND NOBODY FIXED IT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL I'M DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA I USUALLY LOVE TOYOTA REPORT ABUSE

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK STOPS WORKING. MY CAR HAD JUST PASSED 60K WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR LOCK BY PRESSING THE KEY FOB. AFTER COUPLE MONTH ALL 4 DOORS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET & ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH OVER ABOUT 150 YARDS, I HIT A CAR THAT WAS STOPPED IN THE STREET. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. THE AIRBAG KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS. (I WEIGH 122 LBS & I'M 5 FT 3.5 IN.) I DIDN'T REALIZE I'D BEEN KNOCKED OUT: I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE I' BEEN UNCONSCIOUS OR THAT MY EYEGLASSES HAD BEEN KNOCKED OFF. BASED ON WHAT I SAW, I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG HADN'T FULLY INFLATED. BUT MY 13-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, SAID SHE HAD THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BECAUSE SHE REPEATEDLY CALLED TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I DIDN'T ANSWER. I NEVER HEARD HER OR EVEN KNEW MY CHEST/FACE WAS AGAINST THE AIRBAG. MY DAUGHTER SAID MY FACE AND CHEST WERE SLUMPED AGAINST THE AIRBAG. I WAS SHOCKED: ALL I KNEW WAS THAT I JUST SAW THE CAR I WAS GOING TO HIT, BRAKED, AND THEN SAW A PARTIALLY INFLATED AIRBAG. BUT MY CHEST HURT. THE NEXT DAY MY CHEST HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T PRESS THE CAP ONTO A MAGIC MARKER. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE FELT LIKE I HAD SOMETHING ON IT (LIKE A PIECE OF CLOTH), AND MY LEFT CHEEK AT THE CHEEKBONE WAS SWOLLEN AND BRUISED. THE VISION IN MY LEFT EYE WAS BLURRY, TOO. SO I WENT TO THE ER WHERE THEY DID CT SCANS OF MY CHEST AND BRAIN. THEY SAID I HAD A MILD CONCUSSION. I GOT A PARTIAL BLACK EYE ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER, AND I NOTICED A 4" BY 4" BRUISE ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY RIGHT CALF. EVEN TODAY--28 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT--MY CHEST AND CALF STILL HURT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A 40 MPH STREET AND PROBABLY ONLY GOT TO 18 OR 20 MPH WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THEN HIT THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. MY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD HER SEATBELT ON IN THE BACK SEAT, WAS UNHARMED.

TAKATA RECALL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, CAR WOULD NOT START, RECEIVED SOME ELECTRICAL CODES WHEN WENT TO LOCAL SHOP (MERCHANT AUTO AND TIRE, MD). CAR WAS PARKED AND NEXT TIME, WHEN TRYING TO START DID NOT START. BATTERY IS GOOD. I HAD PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG RECALL FIXED ABOUT 6 MONTHS BACK (EARLY PART OF 2017)
