2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN I REACHED 70 MPH WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE VERY BADLY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE TIRES AND THAT THE STEEL MESH WAS COMING THROUGH MY TWO FRONT TIRES AND THAT IF I DIDN'T GET NEW TIRES IMMEDIATELY IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I COULD EXPERIENCE A BLOWOUT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. I ENDED UP GETTING 2 NEW TIRES, AND MY 2 BACK TIRES WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON AS THEY WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE WORE OUT AT A LOW MILEAGE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE PAD SUFFERED FROM CORROSION DUE TO HEAVY SALT USE ON THE ROADS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE ALL REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE PAD. THE BRAKE PAD ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WAS THEN REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,130. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON JULY 28 2011. I WAS IN A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVING 40-45MILES AND A FORD F150 PICK-UP TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE TRUCK ON ITS SIDE CAUSING IT TO FILP OVER. MY CAMRY SUSTAINED SEVERE FRONTAL DAMAGE THAT IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE OFFICERS, FIRE DEPT AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WERE ALL AMAZED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED CONSIDERING THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THE BODY SHOP THAT THE CAR WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO MENTIONED THAT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE FAULTY SENSORS THAT PREVENTED THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING. *TT

DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY AND PLACE SUN VISOR IN DIRECTION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO BLOCK SUN ON LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE AND THE SUN VISOR POPS OUT OF PLACE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. CURRENTLY THE VISOR IS EITHER ALWAYS DOWN BLOCKING THE UPPER PORTION OF VIEW OR POINTING DIRECTLY IN FACE IF ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK SUN ON DRIVERS LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE. THE FAILURE IS ONGOING, AND WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS A NEW VISOR IS SUPPLIED. CONSEQUENCES OF THIS FAILURE INCLUDE: BLOCKED VISION WITH THE INABILITY TO SEE UPPER PORTION OF WINDSHIELD, FAILURE TO SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SUN TO SHINE BRIGHTLY IN EYES CAUSING VISION IMPAIRMENT. *KB

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY DRIVER VISOR, TOTALLY CAME OFF AND WAS JUST HANGING. I NEVER GENERALLY EVEN USE THE VISOR AND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED MY $150.00. MY HUSBAND DRIVES HIS 3RD FORD AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY OF THIS HAPPEN. I BOUGHT A TOYOTA FOR A REASON AND SO FAR ALL I HAVE IS ISSUES. *TR

MY SISTER OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE, BOUGHT AS A NEW CAR, NOT USED. ON SATURDAY, JULY 16, 2011, SHE WAS RIDING AS A PASSENGER IN HER CAR WHEN IT WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR, NEITHER HER SIDE AIRBAGS OR FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE ER AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE SHE HAD SUFFERED INJURIES AND WAS IN PAIN. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS A TOTAL LOSS, HOWEVER, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. *KB

I OWNED 2010 CAMRY LE AND WHEN IT REACHED APPROX. 30,000 MILES WARRANTY THE FRONT BRAKE STARTED VIBRATING AND I FELT L LIKE THE WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OFF WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES FROM HIGH SPEED AND GOING DOWNHILL. I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC BUT I KNEW IT WAS A WARP BRAKE ROTOR. I HAD THE ROTOR TURNED AND THAT'S ALL IT TAKES.I THINK IT IS VERY PREMATURE FOR A BRAKE ROTOR TO FAIL AT 30,000 MILES AND MOST ESPECIALLY FOR A CAMRY. I WAS BIT SURPRISE WHEN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY MILEAGE. ALL ALONG I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS 36MOS/36000 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY BUT I WAS WRONG, SO NO MORE TOYOTA NEXT TIME AND NOT RECOMMENDING TOYOTA TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. *TR

MY CAR JERKS AT LOW SPEEDS DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC DURING MY DAILY COMMUTE FROM WORK. THE MOVEMENT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND YOU CAN FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR (2010) WITH 25, 584 MILES BUT IT DRIVES VERY ROUGH AS IF ITS AN OLDER CAR. TRANSITION FROM LOW SPEEDS IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL. TYPICALLY, THIS SURGE OCCURS ONLY BETWEEN THE SPEED RANGE OF 0-45/50 MPH. RPM GAUGE DRASTICALLY JUMPS OR INCREASES, THEN FALLS BACK DOWN MOMENTARILY. AND IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING IN CITY OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BEFORE COMING TO A STOP BUT WHILE DRIVING ON SPEED LIMIT ON HIGHWAY IT IS FINE. THE CAR SHIFT/JUMPS SPORADICALLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD A LITTLE BIT AND CAUSING DELAY BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY AND THEY KEEP INSISTING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ON TWO SEPARATE TEST DRIVES WITH DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE EVENT. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN RECREATE WHILE IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE TECH HAS TO BE ABLE TO FEEL THE HARSH SHIFTING TRANSITION HIM/HER SELF. A SHIFTING RE-CALIBRATION HAS BEEN PERFORMED ONCE ON THE CAR BUT THE JERKING HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOLLOWING THE TEST. THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAVE BOUGHT AND I COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA. THE REASON I BOUGHT A TOYOTA IS BECAUSE I WANTED A RELIABLE AND SMOOTH CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK EVERYDAY AND I DID NOT EXPECT TO BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES WITH A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE BEEN INSULTED BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND THEIR LIST OF CAUSE FACTORS RANGING FROM POSSIBLY BECAUSE I DRIVE IN HEELS, TO HAVING A/C TURNED ON, TO THE CAR ONLY PROVIDING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. IT IS ALL A BUNCH OF EXCUSES, I WISH THEY WOULD ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN AND BE A NUISANCE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA HELICOPTER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INSURANCE LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 07/20/11*LJ

1. THE CAR HAD A FAILURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM ACCORDING TO: THE REPAIR SHOP, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR AND TOYOTA INDEPENDENT INSPECTION. BASICALLY A BOLT THAT SECURES THE HOSE TO THE CALIPER WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE OIL TO LEAK AND THE BRAKES TO FAIL. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS NO NEGLIGENCE OF MAINTAINING THE CAR SINCE THE CAR IS NEW - ONLY ABOUT 4,000 MILES -AND SERVICED ONLY AT THE DEALER ACCORDING TO SERVICE SCHEDULE.
