2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. THE FAILURE MADE IT VERY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT THAT CONNECTED TO THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE STREET AND BRAKING AT AROUND 15 MPH I NOTICED A CREAKING NOISE. THE NOISE CONTINUED WHILE BRAKING, AND GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AND UNEVEN PAVEMENTS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN TOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE BODY STRUCTURE WAS MESSED UP. THE (A-PILLAR) WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN FRAME. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP TO BE WELDED, THEY ALSO SAID AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK SAYING IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE 2007-2011 TOYOTA MODELS. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON NEW YEARS EVE 2012 I LOST CONTROL OF MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WENT OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND SUFFERED IMMEDIATELY NOTICABLE INJURIES TO MY FACE, ARMS, CHEST AND KNEES. THE POLICE SAID I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT, NO MATTER WHAT! ON TOP OF THAT, THE DINGER THAT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NO SEATBELT ON IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALONE WOULD CAUSE ME TO PUT IT ON. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO A DINGER FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND NOT PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CLIPPED ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE DINGER BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOCK BECAUSE MY INJURIES INDICATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRUISING OR MARKS FROM A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD HAD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH A SEALTBELT THAT WORKED AND AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WHERE THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE FIRST WAS A REAREND THAT SHOVED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AFTER INSURANCE LOOKED AT THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. *TR

TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ASSEMBLY OF VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SUN/MOON ROOF AND REFUSE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CLAIMING EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY.
