I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR, WELL I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MY SITUATION A SINGLE MOM IN NEED OF A CAR WITH BAD CREDIT.... SO THEY TELL ME THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I CAN GET, IT WAS A RENTAL AND NOW I FIND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I DONT WANT THIS CAR.. I AM PAYING 435.00 A MONTH PLUS INSURANCE.MY GOD I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE CAMARO I WANTED...THEY WOULD NOT LET ME DROP ANY WARRANTIES. THEY LIED ABOUT ALOT. WHAT CAN I DO.... *JS

AS MY WIFE AND I WERE RIDING IN THE CAR WE FELT A BRIEF SHUDDER... WE THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE FROM THE ROAD.... AS TIME WENT ON WE FELT IT ON DIFFERENT ROAD SURFACES.... THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT THE SHUDDER FELT LIKE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE DOWN SHIFTED.... WE STARTED SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS DIRECTED TO TOYOTA WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT 5 WEEKS LATER THAT TOYOTA WAS ISSUING A SERVICE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE FOR U760E TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER.... WE HAD THIS UPGRADE PERFORMED AT HOFFMAN TOYOTA ON NOV.26,2014 BEFORE RECEIVING ANY INFO FROM TOYOTA CORP ... THE SHUDDER HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED...I WILL BE CALLING THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS SERVICE UPGRADE HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM... *TR

THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEELS OR WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE, IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND THAT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. DEALER HAS CHECKED IT OR LISTENED TO THE NOISE AND SAYS IT IS NORMAL. IT IS STILL WORRIED SOME AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN A EMERGENCY. *TR

TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR A PROBLEMATIC TORQUE CONVERTER FOR 2012 THRU 2014 TOYOTAS CAMRYS, I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY. A SIMPLE COMPUTER DOWNLOAD WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER DID NOT. IM JUST WONDERING IF THIS SHOULD BE A REGULAR RECALL, AND TOYOTA IS HIDING THIS PROBLEM FROM YOU AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC AGAIN. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR WHEN THE RPM'S ARE BETWEEN 1,500 AND 2,500 RPM, THERE IS A SHUDDER AND DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THE CAR SHAKES UNTIL I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL VERY HARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA DEALER (MARTINSBURG, WV) FOR ANALYSIS ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE (JANUARY 3, 2103). THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THERE WAS A RECENT CAMPAIGN BY TOYOTA TO UPDATE TORQUE CONVERTER SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE AT APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA IN MARTINSBURG, WV (NOVEMBER 12, 2014). THE SOFTWARE DID NOT CHANGE THIS BEHAVIOR. I TOOK IT IN TO BACK TO APPLE VALLEY TOYOTA (NOVEMBER 17, 2014) AND THEY RE-EVALUATED THE CAR AND THEY STATED THAT IT "OPERATES AS DESIGNED BY TOYOTA." I FIND THIS CAR DANGEROUS TO OPERATE BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. ALSO, MY WARRANTY WILL SOON EXPIRE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS CAUSING TRANSMISSION DAMAGE. *TR

I GOT A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR SIX MONTHS NOW AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND PRESSING ON THE GAS WHEN I GET BETWEEN 10-20MPH THE CAR HESITATES/JERKS. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT I TAKE TO THIS PLACE THAT THEY HAVE WORK ON THERE CARS. AND THAT IS ALL THEY COULD DO. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THAT I JUST GOT AND IS MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE SUNROOF OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY EXPLODED. IT WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION-TYPE SOUND. THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES IN SIGHT AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY.THE SUNROOF VISOR WAS CLOSED, THEREFORE NO GLASS DEBRIS AFFECTED PASSENGERS. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO INSIST THAT SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT WARNING. MY 2-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK MIDDLE SEAT AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH GLASS SHARDS, HAD THE VISOR BEEN OPEN. *TR

2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE TURNED ON BY ITSELF AND RAN FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME. *TGW
