2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

MY CAMRY WAS ONE OF THE CAMRY EFFECTED BY THE EVACUATOR HOSE DYSFUNCTION WHICH LEFT MY CAR DRENCHED IN WATER AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DAMAGED. THERE WAS MILDEW GROWTH IN MY CAR AND MY CAR EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED AND CONNECTORS CORRODED. THERE NEEDED TO BE MASSIVE REPAIR OF MY CAR WHICH LEFT IS FLAWED AND VALUE GREATLY DEPRECIATED I AM AGAIN HAVING PROBLEMS AS MY CAR TRUNK DOES NOT CLOSE. IT SEEMS TO BE DUE TO THE TRUNK OPENING SWITCH WHICH IS DAMAGED. IT HAPPENED FIRST TIME AROUND 20 DECEMBER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WITH THE TRUNK NOT CLOSING MY CAR HAS SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING FAULT AND IT IS MY RIGHT TO A NEW CAR WHICH IS UNDAMAGED AND TOYOTA IS NOT COOPERATING WITH THE REPAIRS NOT ALONE CHANGING THE CAR. *TR

ON 1/8/13 I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON ,WITH AN ADULT IN PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT CHECKED OK. ON 12/23/13 I WAS ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND I NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON ,WITH AN ADULT IN PASSENGER SEAT ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER,AND THEY SAID IT CHECKED OK. I AM CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE PASSENGER ( MY WIFE AGE 75 ) COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DIDN'T FUNCTION AS IT WAS DESIGNED TOO. *TR

I OWN A 2012 4CYL CAMRY XLE. A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAPPENS WHEN THE BODY INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED, LIKE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR ENTERING A HOME GARAGE FROM THE DRIVEWAY. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN DECEMBER 2013 WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (THE CAR HAD OVER 40,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE WAS UP TO 36,000 MILES). THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR $486.85 USD. ALTHOUGH TWO TOYOTA REPAIR CENTERS IN PUERTO RICO (TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER IN SAN LORENZO, PR AND FURIEL TOYOTA AUTO), BOTH ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS A PROBLEM OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED ABOUT AND THEY KNOW OF. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE FORUMS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2012 CAMRY'S WITH SUNROOF, SO I UNDERSTAND IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE FOR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2012 CAMRY FROM WILSON MOTORS IN BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON. RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT AIR CONDITIONING WATER COULD LEAK INTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL WE NEEDED TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE. RECALL INDICATED THAT AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR A CAR CRASH. WILSON MOTORS COULD NOT GIVE US AN APPOINTMENT FOR ONE MONTH BECAUSE TOYOTA MOTORS USA WILL ONLY ALLOW THEM TO FIX ONE CAR PER DAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. IT SHOULD BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, NOT AT A RATE THAT SATISFIES TOYOTA MOTORS USA. *TR

THE BRAKE OF THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE CAR AT ANY SPEED, IT LOOKS THE BREAK BOOSTER IS NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE CAR, ALSO THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE DURING DECELERATION AND STOP FROM 25 OR 35 MPH TO COMPLETE STOP, IT LOOKS WHILE BRAKING SOMETHING GIVE ADDITIONAL ACCELERATION NOT BRAKING TO THE VEHICLE, IT IS HARD TO REDUCE A SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED 60 OR 65, I AM SURE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THE BREAK OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNLIKE OTHER CARS WE OWNED , CHEVY EQUINOX AND DODGE STRATUS 2005 BRAKING ARE MUCH BUTTER AND IT IS OLD THEY CAN STOP AT ANY SPEED BUT THIS TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 IS SCARY AND I AM AFRAID TO USE IT IN THE HIGHWAYS DRIVING, THE DEALER STATED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE AND I WANT FROM NHTSA TO TEST THE DRIVE OF THIS CAR AND SEE THEIR OPINION. *TR

THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. NO FEED BACK FROM VOICE .IT DOESN'T DIRECT YOU VERBALLY AND INSTEAD OF MILES IT READS KILOMETERS AND FINALLY IT STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT ALL. *TR
