2012 Toyota Camry Other / unspecified Problems

I removed the seat cover to clean it after an unfortunate stomach bug incident and discovered the styrofoam padding of the headrest was broken off on the left side. I do not know what date the styrofoam broke, but it was discovered July 22, 2025. My only guess is that my toddler could have done it himself because he liked the squeaky sound it made when he shook his head back and forth. Despite my best effort to redirect him when it happened, he would occasionally do this on car rides. We purchased the car seat from the Evenflo store on Amazon on August 31, 2023. My son was between 2 and 4 when the incident would have occurred.

When I first purchased the car I unlocked the lever to adjust my steering wheel and from that moment further my car never drove the same. If I do not play with the lever for the tilt steering and move steering wheel up and down while driving my car does not drive normal. The tires either feel like they were laying down flat when making a turn either way to the left or the right and the car seemed to be at a different position than my steering wheel was. I changed my lower control arms, inner tire rods(Front), outer tire rods(front),This is all since January of 2022. I contacted the dealership immediately when I began noticing the problem and they told me nothing was wrong with the car and they couldn't not help me. Now when I am driving it sounds like a belt shifted on a tire but hasn't or something is rubbing. My steering wheel shakes when braking, and my steering wheel is really tight. If I put my traction control on off and drive it somewhat drives better but the rubbing sounds from the front still appears. If I play with the tilt lever and move steering wheel in and out or up and down I can feel the transmission almost like releasing from straining but never feels as if it is straining if that makes since. The lever for tilt steering is sometimes really loose like it is about to fall off but other times it is so tight that I am afraid it will snap if I lock it back. No one seems to understand what is the issue at the mechanic shops I brought it too. And I am so scared of driving it that I have parked it since august because I am afraid for my safety and my childrens safety. I have heard and read about other camrys this year model having similar issues. One time my abs light and traction lights came on during my drive and then went off moments later. If I dont play with the lever and tilt steering during a drive, the steering wheel while shake, car wobbles and sounds like mud tires are on it, and the car glides all over the road and turns make as if tires flat.

ON 11/21/18 I RECEIVED MY CAR FROM JIM COLEMAN'S SERVICE DEPT. MY TIRE ICON WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. MY TIRE PRESSURE APP. INDICATED ONE OF MY NEW TIRES WAS SEVERELY OVER INFLATED AT 45 PSI. THE SIDE WALL OF THE 94 V RATED TIRE SAID " MAX LOAD PRESSURE 44 PSI NEVER INFLATE BEYOND 40 PSI." HAD I NOT HAD PRESSURE SENSORS IN MY RIMS, I WOULD HAVE TRUSTED MY CAR WAS ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE. THEY JEOPARDIZED MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS BY ALLOWING MY CAR TO LEAVE IN SUCH A CONDITION. I COULD HAVE HAD A BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOTIFYING YOU OF THIS EGREGIOUS ERROR TO PRECLUDE ITS HAPPENING TO FUTURE CLIENTS. THE PROPER INFLATION WOULD HAVE BEEN 35 PSI. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AWARENESS AND PRACTICES OF THIS DEALERSHIP.

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY CAMRY AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE CAR ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF A PARKING GARAGE. THE CAR HAD BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY UNTIL I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE. SUDDENLY THE CAMRY STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP. SINCE I DID NOT WANT TO CRASH INTO ONGOING CARS OR GO OVER THE EDGE UNTO THE STREET BELOW, I CHOSE TO CRASH INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WENT OVER THE ABUTMENT INTO THE CINDERBLOCK WALL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A GENTLEMAN TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE ABUTMENT BUT SAID THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING NOR COULD HE GET THE CAR TO MOVE. HE WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. TWO HOURS LATER THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD REMOVE THE CAR FROM ITS SPOT WITH THE BRAKES WORKING. THE BODY SHOP CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL. CORPORATE TOYOTA HAD AN EDR RUN. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED: "AFTER ROAD TESTING YOUR VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, CONDUCTING ACCELERATION AND BRAKING TESTS, WE FOUND NO ISSUES." TOYOTA DID NOT ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM THAT MALFUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE IT GIVES NO WARNING OF AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM; THEREFORE, I DONATED THE CAR TO AN INSTITUTION WITH THE STIPULATION THAT IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. AND WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR, I ALSO HAD PURCHASED THE PLATINUM VEHICLE SERVICE AGREEMENT THAT HAD A 0 DEDUCTIBLE AND AN EXPIRATION OF 75,000 MILES. I THOUGHT WE HAD LEMON LAWS IN PLACE FOR THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. ULTIMATELY I HAVE HAD TO ASSUME THE FINANCIAL BURDEN CAUSED BY WHAT IS REALLY A TOYOTA PROBLEM.

ON 9/24/14, WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK, I WAS HIT BY A TRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL AND WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO IMPACT BUT MY TURN SIGNAL WAS ON, I WAS GOING TO TURN RIGHT AND I WAS BREAKING. SUDDENLY, I HEARD THIS LOUD CRASH, WHEN I LOOKED TO MY LEFT, I SAW MY DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR BEING PUSHED INTO MY DOOR, THEN I SAW THE TRUCK. MY CAR DID NOT STOP. I WAS GOING APPRX 15 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR MAYBE, AND AGAIN I WAS TRAVELING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL AND WOULD HAVE BEEN MAKING A TURN. I THINK MY CAR WAS CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT. ONCE I WAS HIT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE, SEEMINGLY FASTER. AT THAT POINT I WAS VERY MUCH AWARE THAT MY CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND THE BREAKS WERE NOT WORKING. AMAZINGLY, I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE CORNER (WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANYONE COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION) AND TURN THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT (WITH NO CONTROL OF THE BREAKS). IN FRONT OF ME IN THE PARKING LOT, WHICH IS NOT A BIG LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF A BUILDING THERE. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND WAS FORCED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, HOPING THAT WOULD STOP THE CAR. IT DID. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POLICE WERE CALLED, A TICKET WAS ISSUED TO ME STATING THAT I DROVE WITHOUT DUE CARE AND CAUTION. MY INSURANCE AND TOYOTA HOTLINE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. THE PROCESS IS JUST BEGINNING AND I WILL NOT KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES UNTIL THE "BLACK BOX" IS INSPECTED. THIS HAS BEEN VERY UPSETTING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS OUTCOME. I THOUGHT TOYOTA'S ACCELERATION PROBLEMS HAD BEEN DEALT WITH. *TR

AFTER I ARRIVED A HOTEL, I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL IN DEC 2013 ON THIS A/C WATER LEAK, IT CAN CAUSE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT", ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT", OR OTHER PROBLEMS. WE ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT CAR MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT IN THE WHOLE VOCATION. ------ AFTER BACK TO ROCHESTER NY, CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME GO TO TOYOTA SERVICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM; SO I WENT TO HENRIETTA NY TOYOTA SERVICE AND TOLD THEM A/C WATER LEAK, THEY SAID THEY WILL FIX THAT, ON THE SERVICE REPORT PRINTED:" CUSTOMER STATES THERE IS A WATER LEAK", "WORK PERFORMED BY XXXX", "CLEANED A/C DRAIN". BUT THE MANAGER LIED TO ME, HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. ------ NOT SURE IF IT IS TOTALLY FIXED, CAR STILL VERY MOIST, SMELL IS BAD, EVEN AFTER OPEN CAR'S 4 DOORS, PUT THE CARPET BASK IN THE SUN FOR FEW DAYS. ------ YESTERDAY, I FOUND ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE REPORT AND RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA ON 12/28/2013, AND THIS REPORT SHOWS THEY "PERFORMED WORK BY XXXX." . I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS CAR RECALLED AND ALREADY PERFORMED THE "FIX" FOR A/C WATER LEAK PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY, TOYOTA SERVICE DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEY LIED TO ME. ------ THIS CAMRY HAS DAMAGE UNDER CARPET BECAUSE OF WATER LEAK, IT MAY CAUSE SOME ELECTRIC CIRCUITS PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, I DON'T WANT TO BE WORRY EVERYDAY, SO I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANY MORE (THE LEASE TERM WILL END IN ONE MORE YEAR AND A MONTH, I PAID $3000 DOWN PAYMENT FOR 3 YEAR LEASE, ALSO EVERY MONTH PAYMENT). WHAT IS MY CHOICE? ------ THANKS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND RAPIDLY ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE VEHICLE WAS DOWN SHIFTING AND HESITATING BUT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,700. MAH THE CONSUMER FOUND AT LOW SPEED IT BECAME NECESSARY TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY, DUE TO THE FACT, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED DOWN RAPIDLY THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE AS IF THE ENGINE CUT OFF. IF THE CONSUMER RELEASED THE PEDAL AND DEPRESSED IT AGAIN AT A PROGRESSIVELY SLOWER RATE, THE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NORMAL. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THE HESITATION WAS DUE TO THE VEHICLE TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE FUEL INJECTION SENSOR LACKED THE CAPACITY TO ADEQUATELY RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT A SIGNAL TO THE FUEL INJECTORS UNDER RAPID ACCELERATION. THERE WAS NO ENGINE RESPONSE, UNTIL THE CONSUMER LITERALLY RELEASED AND DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN. UPDATED 03/12/13 THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRACTION SYSTEM CONTROLLED BRAKING FORCE AND ENGINE OUTPUT TO THE DRIVE WHEEL WHEN THE SENSOR DETECTED A WHEEL SPIN DURING ACCELERATION OR CORNERING. UPDATED 03/19/13 THE CONSUMER STATED ANOTHER DEALER CONFIRMED HIS PROBLEM AND THE CAUSE. THE DEALER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS CUTTING POWER TO THE ENGINE. EVEN WITH TURNING AND ACCELERATION, THE TRACTION SYSTEM WOULD CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. UPDATED 04/03/13

MY 2012 CAMRY SE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN TO HAVE TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS ONLY THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE THAT WAS CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURES AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM RETURNED INDICATING THAT A DIFFERENT TIRE WAS THE CAUSE (A DIFFERENT ICON ON THE DISPLAY). I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS AGAIN INSURED THAT IT WAS ONLY THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE THAT WAS CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS TIME THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURES OVER THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURES TO TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES, BEING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I FELT THIS WAS NOT A VERY VALID ASSESSMENT BUT LEFT IT TO THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE TIRE PRESSURES AGAIN. ONE WEEK WENT BY AND AGAIN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND AGAIN A THIRD ICON WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE BAY. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT INDEED ONE TIRE WAS LOW AND THAT HE HAD REMOVED THE TIRE, CHECKED IT COMPLETELY BY DUNKING IT IN A WATER TANK BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY AIR LEAKING. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE FOR THE THIRD TIME AND INCREASED THE AIR PRESSURE EVEN MORE THAN THE LAST TIME. SO AFTER THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER THEY INSURED ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SENSING SYSTEM, THE TEMPERATURE CHANGE MUST BE CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT, ONE TIRE WAS LEAK TESTED WITH NO LEAK RESULTS AND I WAS SENT HOME AGAIN WITH THE TIRES INFLATED 3 TO 4 PSI OVER THE RECOMMENDED MANUFACTURERS SETTING. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK AND THEY WOULD NEED THE CAR FOR THE DAY TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE AROUND WORRIED ABOUT GETTING A FLAT OR A TIRE OR WHEEL FAILING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV4 P215-55-R17 ON ALLOY RIMS. *TR
