2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

VERY WET UNDER PASSENGER SEAT. INTERIOR FOGGING UP DURING TEMP CHANGES. WHERE THE AIR VENT COMES OUT TO THE BACK SEATS. ALSO WET CARPET ON DRIVERS SIDE UNDER DASH. ODOR AS WELL FROM AC, MOLDY SMELL. CAR STATIONARY. COULD THIS SHORT OUT THE HEATER OR ELECTRICAL ELEMENTS FOR ELECTRIC SEAT AS WELL AS MILDEW MOISTURE PROBLEMS.

FIRST, THE TRANSMISSION IS REALLY JERK WHEN ACCELERATE AT STOP LIGHT. IT ALSO JERK REALLY HARD WHEN DOWN SHIFT. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS DELAY. SECOND, THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO JUST SHUT OFF BY ITSELF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME, AND THEN THE LIGHT CAME OFF AND THE RADIO RESTARTED BY ITSELF AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE THE ELECTRIC HAS SOME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 32 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED STERNUM AND HER HUSBAND HAD CONTUSIONS IN HIS RIB CAGE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 1/15/16 *CN

CAR HAD EXTREMLY POOR QUALITY IN INTERIOR MATERIAL. REAR BUMPER, RIMS AND SEAT COMING APART FOR A LESS 40K MILES SUPENSION FEEL UNSAFE WHEN UN DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS VIBRATION ON THE VEHICULE TOYOTA JUST SAID VEHICULE WAS DESIGN LIKE THAT. ANY PROFESSIONAL REPORT ABOUT THAT CONDITION

HAVE WORKED WITH A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER PAST TEN MONTHS REGARDING THE FOLLOWING ISSUE: WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THEN YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR THEN LOSES POWER FOR 4 SECONDS. MET WITH THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST RECENTLY WHO HAD ME DRIVE. WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, HE NOTICED I PLACED MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE ONCE. HE HAD ME LOOK DOWN AT MY FOOT AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR LEFT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN ACCELERATE WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAUSED BY THE "SOFTWARE" DEVELOPED TO ELIMINATE THE "SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM" TOYOTA EXPERIENCED TWO YEARS AGO. THIS CAN OCCUR ANY TIME IF DAY. I TOLD HIM THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE DISAGREED AND SAID IT WAS AN OPERATOR ISSUE. YOU CAN IMAGINE STOPPED FOR A STOPLIGHT. YOU GET THE GREEN YOU TRAFFIC IS HEAVY YOU ACCELERATE AND THEN 4 SECONDS LATER THE RPM'S DROP DRASTICALLY AND ALL THE TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU COMES VERY CLOSE TO REAR-ENDING YOU!!! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN DRIVING IN THE MERGING LANE ON INTERSTATES. ONE DOESN'T CONSCIOUSLY BRAKE USING YOUR LEFT FOOT. IT JUST HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. IF ONE EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS TOYOTA EXPECTS THEIR CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE THEIR LEFT FOOT AMPUTATED! I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL FRIENDS (ONE EMPLOYED 25 YEARS IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY) AND ALL HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING.

EXPERIENCE A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF STOP AND GO I'M HAVING ACCELERATING ISSUES WHERE THE CAR STALLS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP. HAS HAPPENED PROBLEM 5-10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEB. 2015. VERY DANGEROUS. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF LINKS WHERE MANY OTHER CAMRY AND TOYOTA OWNERS SPEAK OF THE SAME ISSUES. BUT IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP.

WHEN RE-APPLYING THE GAS WHILE STILL MOVING (20-40 MPH) OUR 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE (4-CYL, AUTOMATIC) SOMETIMES HESITATES. IT FEELS LIKE A SHUTTER IN THE GAS PEDAL, BUT I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS IN THE TRANSMISSION OR IN THE ACCELERATOR/FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THINGS SMOOTH OUT AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMALLY. IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT IN RECENT WEEKS (NOW 3 MONTHS SINCE THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED).

TO THE POINT, TRUNK WILL NOT STAY OPEN ON INCLINE. CLOSED ON MY HEAD WHILE I WAS GOING TO RETRIEVE ITEMS. CALLED IT IN AND TOYOTA TOLD ME THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX IT.

WHEN DRIVING THE SUNROOF AREA CRACKS AND POPS. IT HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THERE IS ALSO A TSB0151-13 ISSUED.

WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE I NOTICED THE STEERING GOT HARD TO HANDLE AND HARD TO TURN.
