THE CAR IT'S HARD TO TURN NOW, IT MAKE NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE, LIKING GREASE-OIL ON THE BALL JOINTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM WITH THE RECALL , BUT MY CAR IS 2-11.. A MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL ( THAT STARTS IN 3 -11).. SO I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DIDN'T WANTED TO HELP ME WITH THAT. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME LIKE $800. WHAT CAN I DO??
MY CAMRY IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL AND IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE NUMBER INCLUDED IN ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND, OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. THE FIRST CHECK UP OIL WAS ADDED BY THE TECHNICIAN (II WAS NOT TOLD HOW MUCH) AND I WAS ASKED TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO ADD OIL IF NEEDED. WHEN I RETURNED FOR THIS CHECK, UP, I LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN THE CHECK UPS. WHEN THE CSR RETURNED HE SAID WE WERE ALL SET. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED WAS "WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ". I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT! THEY SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE. I CAN HEAR THE TAPPING NOISES FROM THE PISTONS IN MY ENGINE ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OIL. MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND STARTS ACTING SLUGGISH ETC...THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE! I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. I HOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. OIL CHANGED ON TIME ALONG WITH ALL SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS ON THIS TOYOTA' ENGINE. BY 2011 THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I SEE THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN. IF ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR'S VALUE IS LOWER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP ADDING 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (@ $13 00 A QUART) AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AT THIS TIME.

I AM WRITING ABOUT MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2011.I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME. I AM PRESENTLY DRIVING BUT YES IF IT FAILS AGAIN IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IM CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND IT FAILS AGAIN. I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE. ALSO SOMETHING TOTALLY UNRELATED IS I WOULD SUGGEST EVERY SEAT BELT IN ANY VEHICLE BE A FLUORESCENT ORANGE SO IT IS VERY OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE NOT WEARING YOUR SEAT BELT. THIS WOULD HELP THE POLICE AND ANYONE ELSE IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHERWISE. I AM JUST MAKING THE SUGGESTION HOPING SOMEONE WILL CHANGE THIS.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE'S RPM REV, HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP ONCE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WITH THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AT A HIGH SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS ON AN INCLINE, 1.0 GRADE WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. ON FLAT SURFACES, THIS DOES NOT OCCUR. NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT TO INDICATE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THE LAST TIME THE HESITATION HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH TO GAIN SPEED TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLES RPM WAS BETWEEN 5-6 AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE HOWEVER IT DID MOVE FORWARD AND ALLOWED ME TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO INVOICE. WE HAVE A VERBAL ESTIMATION OF $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CENTER CITY AUTOMOTIVE IN DAVIS, CA.
CAR SHUDDERS AT 35 TO 40 MPH. IF I SPEED UP NO PROBLEM. I HEARD IT COULD BE TORQUE CONVERTER. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I TOLD DEALER AND THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING. I ALSO TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. THEY TOLD ME IS WEAR AN TEAR. CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION JUST THOSE ISSUES. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER MY CAR WAS ALSO IN ACCIDENT BUT DEALER FIXED IT AND NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. DORSCHEL GROUP ROCHESTER NY. IS VERY UPSETTING THAT A CAR I PAID OVER 25000$ IS DOING THIS AND NO RECALLS
OIL CONSUMPTION. DRIVE CAR A LOT OF SHAKING VIBRATION. TURN ON AC AN ENGINE NOISE. WHEN LOAD IS PUT. TRANSMISSION RPM AROUNDV40MPH TO 45MPH WEIRD VIBRATION AND HESITATION. THIS CAR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION NOT GOOD
SEAT CLOTH BROKE DRIVER..VENT VISOR DRIVER BROKE AND TOOK IT OFF AND THREW IT AWAY.. TURN A.C. AND KNOCKING NOISE. CLUNKING NOISE ON SUSPENSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR DEALER NEVER DID ANYTHING. NOW IN MAY THIS YEAR I EXPERIENCE VIBRATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AROUND 40MPH. CRAZY ANNOYING ISSUE. PAID TO MUCH MONEY. CAR LOOKS NEW BUT A LOT OF ISSUES. I DON'T EVEN THINK AIRBAGS WORK. ACCIDENT AND DIDN'T COME OUT. CRAZY UNSAFE CAR WITH TO MANY MAJOR ISSUES.
MY 2011 CAMRY HAS 55K MILES AND HAVING HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. SPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO STOP THERE A LAG IN RPM AND TRANSMISSION MOVES THEREFORE, CAR FEELS LIKE A PUNCH IN TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IN EMERGENCY STOPS BECAUSE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LET YOU FEEL CHANGING GEARS. I HOPE NHTSA WILL RAISE OUR VOICE TO TOYOTA. THANK YOU
I HAVE HAD COMPLICATIONS NOT ONLY WITH VISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE BUT ALSO THE THEIR IS A CLUNKING WEIRD NOISE FROM THE SUSPENSION. IF TURN ON HEAT OR TOUCH RADIO THE LIGHTS ON DASH FLASH. I ALSO WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THEIR IS NO POWER.
I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAMRY. IT HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES IT JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP IT SHIFTS HARD. I NOTICED WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP THE RPM GOES UP LITTLE BIT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. BROWN'S TOYOTA OF GLEN BURNIE (7167 RITCHIE HIGHWAY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061) DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE COVER FRACTURED AND DAMAGED THE VVT GEARS AND THE TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,500.
MY CAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS AND SOMETIMES GOING IDLE DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY DIDN'T NOTICE A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER THIRD PARTY MECHANIC DID. MAKES ME WONDER THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY HERE. THE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HIS CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION GEAR ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER A LOT OF MONEY.
THE CLUTCH JUST TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING HAD TO PUSH THE FOR ABOUT 2 MILES TO A SAFE LOCATION.THEN HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED STEP ON CLUTCH PEDAL AND DOESN'T ENGAGE PUT CAR INTO GEAR AND STEP ON GAS JUST REVS AND NOTHING
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND I NOTICED THAT I COULD NO LONGER DRIVE PAST 45 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 60MPH. I THEN WAS ABLE THANK GOD TO GET OFF INTERSTATE AND EXIT TO SIDE STREET. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 3RD GEAR AND SPEED WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 45MPH. I MADE APPOINTMENT THE SAME DAY TO GET CAR LOOKED AT BOB HOWARD TOYOTA. LATER THAT DAY IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE(BAD) . I AM INFORMED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND IT IS MY EXPECTATION TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED ASAP AT TOYOTA CORPORATION EXPENSE AS WELL AS PROVIDING ME TRANSPORTATION AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE! I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED APPROXIMATELY 4-6 WEEKS AGO AND I DO NOT RECALL BEING INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN SYSTEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR EXPEDIENT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER AND IT BEING AT TOYOTA'S FULL EXPENSE AND NOT MINE RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED [XXX] PS CONTACT INFORMATION [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
UPON DOING RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN MY WIFE AND I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD REV UP VERY QUICKLY BEFORE IT CHANGED OUT. JUST RECENTLY, IT BEGUN TO REV UP MORE OFTEN BEFORE IT SHIFTED GEARS. IT DID THAT FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS AT ALL AFTER 40MPH.THEN ULTIMATELY, IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS AT ALL. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 134,000 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARS THE TRANSMISSION HAS BURNED OUT ON IT. AFTER ANALYZING THE REVIEWS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE,I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT TOYOTA HAS SOLD ITS CONSUMER AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. I, AS A CONSUMER, REALLY WISH TOYOTA WOULD CONSIDER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSE AT THE HANDS OF THE CONSUMER. I, BEING A LOWER CLASS WORKING MAN, REALLY WENT THROUGH A LOT TO OBTAIN THE MONEY TO COVER THIS EXPENSE. YOU PROBABLY CAN TELL BECAUSE I'M TAKING THE TIME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM. THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I REALLY FEEL THIS IS AN UNFAIR SITUATION TO THE CONSUMER. MY WIFE AND I PAID A DECENT PENNY FOR OUR 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. IT IS LESS THAN SIX YEARS OLD AND ALREADY HAS A MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUE. I REALLY HOPE TOYOTA CONSIDERS SOME FORM OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE CONSUMER. I PRAY MY WORDS WON'T FALL ON DEAF EARS. THANKS.
TRANSMISSION WILL APPEAR TO DISENGAGE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTING OFF IN COLD OR AFTER SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS (9-10 HRS.). STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE CAR WILL FEEL AND APPEAR TO START OFF NORMALLY, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE, AND THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOU FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT OR EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 3,000 MILE - CURRENT MILEAGE 87,000. DEALER CAN NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE OR DUPLICATE. I HAVE DUPLICATED IT FOR THEM ONCE DURING THE COLD WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THEM FOR REPAIRS AND TESTING.
2011 CAMRY LE - THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WANTS TO BE IN AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR MINIMALLY RESPONDS, SLOWLY MOVING AND THEN SUDDENLY GOING AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IF I DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE OFF EVER STOP SIGN/STOP LIGHT IT WOULD DO ALRIGHT BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO STOMP IT OFF THE LIGHT AND I DON'T DRIVE THAT WAY. AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP AND TOYOTA DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT! ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 70-75 AND LETTING OFF THE GAS THE CAR HAS A SHUDDER WHICH IS UNSETTLING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY....SOMETIMES I EXPECT THE ENGINE TO DIE OR THE TRANSMISSION FALL OUT. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, SERVICE DEPT ETC WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD BE THE FIRST THING BUT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THAT!! THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED MY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR??? (WHY?), SYNCED MY COMPUTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT COULD BE A "COMPUTER" ISSUE MUCH LIKE THE OLD COROLLAS AND I JUST NEED TO GET USE TO IT. I'M DONE WITH TOYOTA, THIS IS MY SECOND ONE AND BOTH OF THEM HAD ISSUES THAT WERE NEVER RESOLVED! *JS
WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT WITH COLD ENGINE, STOPPING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, CARS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN LEAVING INTERSECTION, ACCELERATING THE ENGINE, THE CAR WILL CREEP VERY SLOWLY FOR ABOUT 50 FEET OR SO, THEN SEEMS TO SLOWLY ENGAGE AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD. AFTER CAR IS WARM, IT SEEMS TO RUN FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS OBVIOUSLY IRRITATES CARS BEHIND ME, BUT EVEN MORE SO, CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING ON TODAY'S HIGHWAYS IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH. I'D HATE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN, IF I SHOULD EVER NEED ACCELERATION TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IN THE MAKING??? *TR
WED AM, NOV. 12, 2014, I PARKED MY 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4CYL IN AN AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE. WEATHER WAS 31 F. WHEN I RETURNED FROM MY TRIP THE NEXT EVENING, I STARTED THE CAR, ORGANIZED SOME THINGS FOR A MINUTE TO ALLOW CAR HEATER TO WARM THE VEHICLE WHILE I SAT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 20S F. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH SO I PRESSED A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR FAILED TO GO FASTER. AFTER SLOWLY BACKING OUT FAR ENOUGH, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. DESPITE REACHING 2500+ RPM, THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT 0 (ZERO) MPH. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND PULLED, VERY SLOWLY, TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GARAGE LANE, SO AS NOT TO IMPEDE VEHICLE TRAFFIC. I CONTINUED TO REV ENGINE FOR 1 TO 2 MINUTES. ONLY AFTER REVVING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES DID THE CAR BEGIN TO SLOWLY RESPOND. THIS FLAW IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AND COULD ENDANGER LIVE(S). IMAGINE IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN, AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY ROADWAY. IF MY 2011 CAMRY'S FUEL INJECTOR FAILS TO RESPOND AS EXPECTED, THEREBY RESPONDING SLOWLY TO ME PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN I ENVISION THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING IN A HORRIFIC SIDE-IMPACT COLLISION. I WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. WINTER IS JUST BEGINNING, AND COLD STARTS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE COMMON (LIKELY IN MUCH COLDER TEMPS). I DON'T BELIEVE MODERN VEHICLES, WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, SHOULD HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE, OR REQUIRE MUCH WARM-UP TIME. *TR
I WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH MY TWIN 2YRS OLD DAUGHTERS WHEN I HEARD A SOUND; I LOOKED ONLY TO SEE THAT ONE OF THE BABY PULL THE GEAR STICK OUT OF PARK, INTO DRIVE AND THE KEYS WERE IN MY POCKET! I KNEW THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I CALLED DARCARS TOYOTA, AND THE MANAGER [XXX] TOLD ME "THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AND THAT THE "GEAR BOX IS BAD", I NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN SO THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON 10/03/2014 AT ABOUT 7:10AM, AND LEFT THE LOT AT ABOUT 9:30AM AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE HORRIBLE SERVICE BOTH FROM THE MANAGER [XXX] AND THE REP. "[XXX]" I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I PAY FOR THEM TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW; WHICH IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR STICK! I MAY BE THE 1ST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THIS IS WHY WITH ALL THE RECALLS, IT SEEMS AS IF SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THESE PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR DEFAULTED VEHICLES!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. THANKS IN ADVANCE SINCERELY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IM REALLY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR ITS JUST 1 THING AFTER ANOTHER FIRST HAD THE NOISY MOON ROOF ISSUE AND FINALLY GOT IT FIXED BY BRINGING IN THE TSB SO IT COULD NOT BE DENIED, NOW I HAVE A NOISY POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WHINE VERY LOUD BUT WAS TOLD THAT ITS NORMAL (WHAT A CROCK).

THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR JERKS WITH ABRUPT SHIFTING, AND SOMETIMES HARSH SHIFTING. ALSO IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR PAUSES A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE IT RUSHES RATHER THAN A SMOOTH ACCELERATION, THOUGH I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL GENTLY, ALSO ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION A LOUD THUMPING SOUND HAS BEEN HEARD COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN AND IS IN PROCESS OF DOWNSHIFTING AROUND 20MPH. *TR
