2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

WHEN GASED, EVEN LIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. WHEN ROLLING, WITHOUT THE DRIVER ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SELF-ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2014. DUE TO THIS CONCERN, THE VEHICLE IS SELDOM DRIVEN.

SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE LOWER CASE CRANK SEAL LEAK. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA CORP. NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT OIL. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ENGINE STOPPAGE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND FEAR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $2200.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL TYPE THE DATE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BECAUSE IT IS ASKING DATE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WON'T TAKE RECENT DATES. THANK YOU.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS OBSCURING MY VISION AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION TO VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. I NOTICED THIS DURING TEST DRIVE OF THE CAR. ITS WORSE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART SINCE WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED 6/3/2019. A FULL SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED. *TR

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB (08/20/2019 12:23 PM) MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO AN UNCLEANABLE TARLIKE STICKY SUBSTANCE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT. I HAVE TO BEND SIDEWAYS TO SEE AROUND IT TO DRIVE. PLEASE EMAIL ME HOW I CAN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD. QUESTION REFERENCE # 190820-000288 DATE CREATED: 08/20/2019 12:23 PM CT ON MAY 1, 2014, MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD STARTED LOOKING GREASY AND SHINY. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAR CLEANING SOLUTIONS, WHICH AT THE TIME DID HELP. I TRIED PURE RUBBING ALCOHOL. I EVEN TRIED A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO BE WASHED AND DETAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE STICKY SOLUTION OFF AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER., WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR DATE AND TO CONTACT TOYOTA, SO ON AUGUST 20, 2019. I CONTACTED TOYOTA.COM AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR END DATE AND THAT I CAN PAY MY TOYOTA DEALER TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD MYSELF.. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE EXTENDED DATE OR ANY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY SENT THEM OUT AND IF I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THIS ON A PHONE CALL TO ME. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT THEIR RESPONSE IN WRITING. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR, SO I THINK OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

VEHICLE: 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE THE DASH BEGAN "MELTING" APPROXIMATELY A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. SUNLIGHT REFLECTING FROM THE MELTED DASH TO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSES SIGNIFICANT GLARE AND IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. TOYOTA'S POORLY ENGINEERED DASH PRESENTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY RISKS FOR TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. ATTACHED PICTURES DOCUMENT THIS ISSUE. IN ALL EXAMPLES, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. NEWS REPORTS: ABC ACTION NEWS, FEB 19, 2015: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GJXVFIPQH3W WPTV NEWS, JUL 24, 2014: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=A3QQHWKXBIC

IN STATE OF OHIO THEY ISE THIS SITE TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CAR IS GASOLINE POWER, ELECTRIC L, OR HYBRID. AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY SAY YOUR COMPANY HAS MY CAR LISTED AS HYBRID FOR A 2010. AND MY CAR IS ACTUALLY GASOLINE V6 XLE. WHAT KIND OF PROOF DO I NEED TO SHOW BESIDES PICTURES OF MY ENGINE OR A LETTER FROM A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP?

THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLS. IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL COMING FOR FUEL PUMPS ON TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES. THE RECALL IS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH OF 2020, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE 2010 CAMRY IS INCLUDED, BUT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN LATE AUGUST 2019 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM SHOPPING ON A FAST SPEED STREET I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MADE A VIBRATING NOISE, THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON RED AND WITH THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY BREAKING I WAS ABLE TO GO HOME, (ABOUT A MILE), DRIVING AT 5 MPH. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER WITH COST OF AROUND $ 2,000.00. THE CAR ONLY HAD 31,026 MILES, ALL REQUESTED SERVICES WERE DONE ON TIME OR EVEN BEFORE TIME, NO SIGN OF SPONGY PEDAL OR BREAKS RED LIGHT COMING UP FOR WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR TO BE ON A TALLWAY. LATELY I DISCOVERED EMERGENCY BREAK NOT WORKING, (NEVER CHECKED AFTER REPAIRS) WHILE CAR LEFT ON DRIVE AND PUT EMERGENCY BREAKS, CAR MOVES. CERTAINLY I WILL NOT RETURN TO DEALER WHERE I WENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DID THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE EMERGENCY BREAKS AFTER BREAKS REPAIR?AS THEY HAD FORGOTTEN OTHER THING AFTER PAST SERVICES. NEVER TOYOTA AGAIN. WHEN I TALKED TO TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTER I WAS TOLD THE DEALER GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PRICE AND THEY PARTNER WITH DEALERS. I ASKED IF THE WOULD REIMBURSE SOME SINCE THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS 10 YEAR OLD! THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE, DRIVEN WEEKLY AROUND AND ONE DAY OF THE WEEK DRIVEN AT FAST SPEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER. MY CAR IS LIKE NEW, WITH ALL THE CARE I TAKE FOR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT WASHED. I NEVER HAD IN MY LIFE SOME LIKE THIS HAPPEN, ON ANY CAR I DROVE..ON 2/09/2010 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE BREAKS MAYBE THERE WAS MORE CARS THAN THEY LISTED. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME PROBLEM LIKE MINE BUT SUCH CARS SEEMED TO HAVE LOTS OF MORE MILES THAN ME, SINCERELY, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
