2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT I CAN STILL DRIVE CAR AS LONG AS IT IS NOT BLINKING. MY SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS FOR NEXT DAY THURSDAY THE 12TH. WHILE ON HIGHWAY CAR LOST ALL POWER STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING. A HUGE TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND WAS BEEPING TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO PULL CAR TO SIDE IF HIGHWAY AND CAR SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. I WAITED 5 MIN AND THE CAR STATED AND I MANAGED TO GET HOME. THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN DOES NOT BRAKE WELL, IT FEELS LIKE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE WELL AND THE CAR JUMPS. YOU CANNOT CONTROL. I AM BRINGING TO TOYOTA TODAY TO GET THE RESULTS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS LEFT STREAKS ON WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE HARDLY VISIBLE IN SNOW AND SOME HEAVY RAIN DRIVES SIDE BARELY DOES THE JOB EVEN AFTER REPLACING WITH NEW WIPER BLADES . SUN VISORS BOTH QUITE HOLDING POSITION DRIVER'S SIDE FIRST THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE A WEEK LATER HAD TO REMOVE DRIVES SIDE IT BROKE OFF OF PIVOT PIN AND WAS HANGING DOWN BLOCKING VISIBILITY . VERY UNSAFE APPEARS PART FAILED INSIDE VISOR. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY SHIFTING GEARS, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT SPEED UNDER 40 MPH WITHOUT COMPLETE CONCENTRATION ON THROTTLE OR BY UTILIZING CRUISE CONTROL. GAS PEDAL IS HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND ANY SMALL INCREASE IN DEPRESSION OF PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD. VEHICLE FAILS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND DECELERATES RAPIDLY WHEN GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED. COMPUTER MEMORY HAS BEEN REFLASHED TWICE BY DEALER WITH NO RESOLUTION. IN MY 50 YEARS ON THE ROAD, THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND AGGRAVATING VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE/TRANSMISSION COMBINATION ON THIS MODEL IS NOT DESIGNED CORRECTLY AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WARNING: HOOD OPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND FACTORY THEFT DETERRENT SECURITY SYSTEM IS ENGAGED, INTERMITTENTLY ALARM GOES OFF (EVEN WHEN REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT WITHIN RANGE AND NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY IS ATTEMPTED). SIMILAR TO T-SB-0171-11 AND T-SB-0208-10 VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A FACTORY THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM MAY EXHIBIT A CONDITION WHERE THE SECURITY HORN IS INAPPROPRIATELY TRIGGERED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DISTURBED. A REVISED HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY (WITH INTERNAL COMPONENT SWITCH) HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR VISOR WAS PULLED TO "DOWN" POSITION, BUT THE HINGE BROKE LEAVING THE VISOR HANGING AND OBSTRUCTING DRIVERS VIEW. VISOR HAD TO BE TAPPED TO THE HEAD LINER TO ALLOW DRIVER TO OPERATE SAFELY. *TR

TIRE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND THAT ALL FOUR SHOULD BE REPLACED. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER (CAR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), WHERE DEALER SAID HE WOULD REPLACE ONLY LEFT FRONT STRUT, AND THAT SOME LEAKING WAS ACCEPTABLE (MANUFACTURER'S POLICY). STRUT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNED, AS IS IMPORTANT WHENEVER STRUTS ARE REPLACED. ALSO, IT'S NOT GOOD PRACTICE TO REPLACE ONLY ONE STRUT--NO ONE REPLACES ONLY ONE TIRE (OR ON OLDER CARS, ONE SHOCK ABSORBER) FOR THE SAME REASON--IT CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS IMBALANCE. TOYOTA'S LEAKING STRUT POLICY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAMRY NEW AND AT 40K MILES, THREE OF MY STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT CONNECT. CANNOT RISK PASSENGERS, GLAD I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION, AND WAS TOLD 3 OUT OF 4 STRUTS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I EXPECT TOP QUALITY FROM TOYOTA AND AM VERY DISPLEASED BY THIS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INVEST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON-ROUTINE SERVICE ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN, AND I WILL VOICE MY CONCERNS TO EVERYONE I KNOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED UNINTENDED UNTIL CRASHING INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND SEVERAL BUSHES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION IN THE ABDOMEN AND THE SHOULDER FROM THE SEAT BELT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS NOT PERFORMED BY A DEALER OR A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ABNORMAL ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V017000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: STICKING ACCELERATOR PEDAL), FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INCLUDED AND WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
