2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON MOST OF THE TIME, RARELY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. WHEN ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON, RPM AND ODOMETER GO TO ZERO, AC BECOMES WARMER, SOMETIMES ENGINE COOLING INDICATOR ALSO BLINKS. HOWEVER, WHEN ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER, SPENT AROUND $350 TO DIAGNOSE, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ECM WHICH WILL COST $3000. ITS REALLY SHOCKING

STICKY DASH 'NOTIFICATION' OR LACK THEREOF, I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE SECONDARY WARRANTY I'M SCREWED AND STUCK WITH A STICKY, STINKING (COSTLY -$1600) MESS. I'VE TRIED CLEANING IN WITH NUMEROUS PRODUCTS SAFE FOR THE MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ON IT. I DECIDED TODAY TO GOOGLE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND A CLEANER/RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I WORK LONG HOURS AND HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE DASH. THE DASH HAS EVEN STARTED TO CRACK. I LIVE IN HOT, HUMID ALABAMA AND PICKING DEAD FLIES ETC FROM THE STICKY MESS ISN'T AN EASY OR ENJOYABLE JOB. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAR IS FINALLY PAID FOR AND NOW THIS ... ARGHHH WHAT A PAIN !

THE "DASH PANELS" OF MY CAR IS MELTING AND IT IS ALL STICKY, DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, WHICH IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT ARE UNDER IT. I NEED YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION, SO THAT THE TOYOTA TAKES CHARGE OF CHANGING THIS PIECE FOR FREE AS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AS IT CRASHED INTO SEVERAL PARKED VEHICLES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HANDS AND LEGS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE GEORGIA POLICE DEPARTMENT FILED CASE NUMBER: 18-067932. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD MELTING. THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SHINY AND CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD.

OIL BURNING CONSUMPTION, MY VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY BURNING OIL AND WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA OF ORLANDO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE THEY ADVISED MY VEHICLE HAD PASSED THE TEST, SO DUE TO THEM STATING THIS THEY DID NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE , SINCE THEN I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND THEY TOO, ARE FAILING TO DO ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE AS NOW MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILLAGE , BUT WHEN I ORIGINALLY WENT AND GOT THE TEST DONE IT WAS UNDER THE MILLAGE FOR THEM TO FIX IT. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING OIL IN MY VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR TO ME AS THEY FAILED TO DO THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING IN THIS 100 DEGREE WEATHER I TURN ON THE A/C THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AT THE SAME TIME ALSO MY ODOMETER AND RPM NEEDLES STOP WORKING

I WAS DENIED REPLACEMENT OF A MELTED DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED (BY 2 BUSINESS DAYS). THE 2009 CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CASTS A JARRING GLARE ONTO THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. INJURIES OR WORSE ARE IMMINENT. PLEASE ACT ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS AND ESTABLISH A RECALL FOR TOYOTA MELTING DASHBOARDS.

THE DASHBOARD GAUGES SUDDENLY DROP DEAD. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON. A/C IS GETTING AFFECTED. ALL THE NEEDLES START DANCING. CAR STARTS SHAKING AND GETTING WARM. IT COMES AND GOES. SIMILAR YEAR CARS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. APPARENTLY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ABS MODULE SHORT CIRCUITING. THIS IS A BIG LIFE AND SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECAL PLEASE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE.
