2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

ON 9/24/2013, I WAS AT MY WAY SISTER HOME COME FROM WORK, ABOUT TO DRIVE OFF, WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER IT SOUND IT WAS FLOOD IT SO I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE AND IT STILL WILL NOT START SO I CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO COME AND GET AND TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON THAT MORNING BUT IT START UP FINE, BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. LEFT IT AT THE SHOP AND THEY CALL ME THE NEXT MORNING AND SAID THEY CHECK THE SENOR AS THE COMPUTER CODE TOLD THEM TO BUT IT WASN'T THE SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION THEY TOOK APART THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS TO SHOW ME THAT THE CRANKSHAFT FLY WHEEL INSIDE THE ENGINE WAS MESSED UP AND THE SENSOR WASN'T DETECTING IT ANY MORE. I HAVE 81000 MILES ON THIS 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER TAKING THE WHEEL OFF, SPEAKING TO A MECHANIC WHO WAS WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. ASK THE MECHANIC IF THIS WAS JUST A FLUKE DEAL OR IF THE DEALERSHIP HAD SEEN MANY BROKEN CRANKSHAFT ON TOYOTA'S. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPEN. HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN TOYOTA'S HAVE HAD TO REPORT A BROKEN CRANKSHAFT? IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. IS THIS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BIT OF INFORMATION THAT GETS KEPT FROM CONSUMERS? TOYOTA SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT USED ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN I OPERATE MY HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING IN MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY I GET A STRONG SMELL OF SULFUR IN THE CABIN OF MY CAR. I OWNED MY CAR FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. NO ONE CAN TELL ME THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION OR TURNED ON. NOTICED THE VISOR WAS DOWN WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO PUSH IT BACK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND IT KEPT FALLING-SO FINALLY GOT IT TO STICK IN THE CLAMP SO IT WOULD NOT FALL OUT AND WITHOUT THINKING I MOVED IT TO BLOCKED THE SUN WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND IT BLOCKED MY VIEW AND FELL OFF ON THIS WEEK. MY CAR MILEAGE IS AT 127,000 MILES AND I AM GOING TO CALL THE CAR DEALERSHIP ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS-IT SHOULD BE SINCE THIS IS DEFINITELY A DRIVING HAZARD.

MY CAR HAS BEEN MAKING NOISES FOR A WHILE...IN THE FRONT WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING, THE OTHER NOISE IS A THUNK IN THE BACK WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A BUMP OR DOWN A DRIVEWAY. I JUST RECENTLY HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT A TOYOTA DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID MY FRONT STRUT SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES. TODAY I JUST WENT TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED (I HAD TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES A WHILE BACK {AROUND 20,000 MILES} BECAUSE OF CUPPING FROM MY ORIGINAL TIRES, WHICH TOYOTA ALSO CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY) AND THEY STATED THAT I NEED ALL FOUR STRUTS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL LEAKING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA, NOT THE DEALER BUT ACTUAL TOYOTA AND I STATED THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE STRUTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT AND THAT THE NOISE DID BEGIN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. AT THIS POINT THEY ARE HAVING ME PAY A DEALER TO LOOK AT THE STRUTS AND QUOTE A PRICE IF THEY "FEEL" THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. BUT THE ADVISOR IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NORMAL LEAKING ON STRUTS AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT FIRESTONE IS REFERRING TO. SO I ALREADY FEEL THAT THEY ARE GOING TO STATE THAT IT IS "NORMAL" LEAKAGE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE PLACED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO GO ROUND AND ROUND WITH THE ISSUE SINCE THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MANY ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. *TR
