2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAPPENED SO FAR. JUST TO KNOW IF MY CAR AIR BAGS NEED TO BE REPAIRED

SUSPENSION PROBLEM: STEERING NEEDS OVER-CORRECTING ON HIGHWAYS TO KEEP VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT. HITTING ANY DEFECT IN THE ROADBED CAUSES THE CAR TO BOUNCE AND JAR CAUSING DIFFICULTY WITH STEERING AND MAINTAINING SAFE FORWARD TRAVEL. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIAGNOSIS WAS A LEAKING FRONT STRUT. SERVICE WANTED TO REPLACE LEAKING STRUT FOR $500. (NEW STRUT ONLY). VEHICLE HAS 38,163 MILES. VEHICLE WAS AN OFF-LEASE USED PURCHASE WITH 32,698 MILES. STRUT NOT COVERED BY WARANTY WHICH EXPIRED AT 36,00 MILES.

EVER SINCE I GOT THIS CAR THE TIRES HAVE BEEN NOT HOLDING AIR IN THEM AND I HAD TO DO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS PUT AIR IN THEM SO I COULD FEEL SAFE AND ALL I GET FROM TOYOTA IS CALL THIS PERSON BECAUSE IT IS NOT ARE FAULT.

WHEN I AM DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35 TO 55 THERE IS A VIBRATION AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GRINDING, I TOOK IT TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND THAT WE CAN EITHER CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THREE SEPARATE VISITS OR ADD A VIBRATION STABILIZING ADDITIVE. THE ADDITIVE WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE NOW THEN BEFORE. I BELIEVE IF TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER I STILL OWE 13,000.00 ON MY CAR AND DO NOT FEEL IT SHOULD BE MY RESPONSABILITY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. IT MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF IT IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AT ANY MOMENT NOT SAFE FOR A WOMAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE HEADREST WAS BURNING CAUSED BY THE SUNLIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. UPDATED 08/30/16*LJ *JS

THIS SITUATION HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH. WHEN I HAVE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR ON IDLE. MY TRAC, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE FROM OTHER CAMRY'S OWNER ONLINE. WHEN THEY GO TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL THEM IT IS A SENSOR. BUT IT IS NEVER RESOLVED. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR? I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR. THIS IS SCARY FOR ME DUE TO ME HAVING 2 KIDS.

THE CAR HESITATES FOR THREE TO FIVE SECONDS AFTER DECELERATING, OR WHEN TURNING A CORNER, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND TOLD ME THERE ISN'T ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CARE. THEY LIE. OVER 200 PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS ON ONE SITE ALONE.

FEELS LIKE I AM ALWAYS TRAVELING ON A HEADWIND WITH MY STEERING ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO WANDER SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT IS TIRING AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE THE CAR GOES ONE WAY, WHILE I WANT IT TO GO ANOTHER WAY. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE A FEW DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NO RESOLVE. I ALSO HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HERE IS THE LINK... HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/310-7TH-GENERATION-2012/420139-CAMRY-2012-STEERING-PROBLEM.HTML PLEASE HELP! I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I AM SURE OTHERS WHO DRIVE MY CAR FEEL THE SAME WAY.

LEFT FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. PLACING RIGHT FOOT ON ACCELERATOR. ACCELERATION STARTS HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING VEHICLE ARE FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY BACK OFF ACCELERATION CAUSING NEAR TERM COLLUSION. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS LIGHTLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HIT A TRAFFIC POLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SURGE FORWARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.
