2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMPLE OIL/FILTER CHANGE ON JULY 7, 2016. I WAS TOLD THE WATER PUMP HAD LEAK AND REQUIRING THE PUMP TO BE REPLACED. I WAS QUOTED TO PAY ABOUT $530 TO GET A NEW WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT. I DID LOOK UP THE SIMILAR PROBLEM RELATED TO 2009 CAMRY. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN MILEAGE. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE CASES REPORTED AND SUPPOSEDLY TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS/PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE LOCAL MARIETTA DEALERSHIP IN GEORGIA RIPPING ME OFF OR NOT. I DID NOT ASK FOR THE OLD WATER PUMP TO BE RETURNED TO ME AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE. I DID NOT SEE THE LEAK AT ALL IN MY GARAGE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF THERE WAS UNANNOUNCED RECALL FROM TOYOTA, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR MY WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT BILL.

THE ABS LIGHT AND THE RED BOLD BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OFF AND THE NEXT DAY THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK, AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND EVERYTHING WORKED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I DRIVE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEN CHECKED THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND READ IT'S THE ABS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING FOR THE CAR.

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ECB HAS FAILED WHICH CAUSES BRAKING ISSUES AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA, BUT NO ACTION TAKEN. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL AS THE WHOLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS AT RISK.

OUR DRIVER SIDE VISOR BECOMES EXTREMELY FLOPPY LATELY. WE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON MODELS SIMILAR TO OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT'S BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND IT'S A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. WE HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, AND NOT ONE HAS A VISOR ISSUE, PLEASE HELP!!!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. BURNS 1 QUART WITHIN 1,500 OF MILLAGE USE. MY CURRENT CAR MILLAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS SHOWN THROUGH LARGE PUFFS OF BLACK SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST, UPON IGNITION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A "NORMAL" SITUATION. THIS ISSUE MAY LEAD TO A HIGHER AMOUNT OIL PURCHASES AND SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE; IT IS VERY COSTLY.
