2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints
I'm not even sure this is the right form for this complaint, but it has to do with non-compliance from Toyota. It's the master window switch recall 12V491. I had to schedule 2 separate appointments for this vehicle at Florence Toyota (Florence, SC), only to have them tell me the first time that they didn't have the part, and the second time that it wasn't covered under "warranty" due to the vehicle having been issued a salvage title. This isn't a warranty issue, rather a safety recall that should be addressed and fully reimbursed by Toyota anyway, so I don't understand the problem? Nothing has happened with the switch, thankfully, in all these years. But they keep sending regular alerts that the recall was issued and that I should make an appointment to have it remedied at no cost.;
2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID Complaints
The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact’s wife stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the VSC and ABS warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with needing the brake master cylinder replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact also filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.;
2010 PONTIAC VIBE Complaints
The air conditioning vents spew out white dusty powder which is suspscted to be aluminum oxide, a known carcinogenic.;
2010 SCION XD Complaints
There is a repetitive problem with mold and AC leaks with the Scion xD. I’m having breathing problems and I feel sick. Geico and Toyota have discovered mold in my vehicle. It is actually visible but I have no idea how long there has been a leak or how long I have been breathing in mold. The AC line is under the carpet with no protective barrier which is an ideal environment for mold to grow. When I looked up a way to fix the issue several videos came up with many others who have the same issue which means it is not a maintenance issue it is a defect that has never been recalled. Toyota has serviced my vehicle for years and never brought up this issue. I didn’t notice a problem until there was a pool of water in my car and mold growing on my seats. When I brought it in to Toyota they told me what the problem was instantly. They’ve seen it plenty of times before. When I looked online I see several owners of ScionxD made in different years with the same problem. How long has my car had this leak and how long have I been breathing in mold before it was visible to my eye? Seeing as there are so many Toyota Scion drivers/owners with this issue I am reporting it to NHTSA and calling Toyota Scion Corporate Headquarters. Corporate headquarters did nothing about the issue even after I expressed my concern for the children in danger of being exposed to mold who ride in these cars everyday. I am still breathing heavy and suffering from headaches. The Toyota dealership said it would cost $4400 to fix the entire issue. Why place a tube under a carpet without protection? I wish I was informed of this earlier.;
2010 TOYOTA YARIS Complaints
Vehicle was in Park and keys were out and I was on passenger side unloading a shelf and the shelf hit the shifter and the vehicle started rolling backwards and ran over my leg.;
