2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE, 2AR-FXE. 134,000 miles. The car burns a quart of oil every 2,000 miles. This issue is from the low-tension piston rings sticking up and leading to scarring of the cylinder walls, causing oil consumption. Toyota had this issue with the 2007 2AZ engine and fixed it, but hasn't done a thing about the 2AR engine with the same problem. Hundreds and thousands of owners have complained but Toyota does not care enough to solve the problem! TOYOTA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, they only care about themselves and the money they make for charging people thousands of dollars for short blocks out of the owner's pocket for an issue that is not the owner's fault. The car has had 5,000/6 month mile oil changes all its life. Don't buy a 1AR/2AR-equipped Toyota if you expect it to last. It also has a VVT-i rattle problem that is very common that Toyota doesn't bother to fix for their customers.

This complaint has to do with Toyota's electrical steering. I will begin this complaint by explaining what I've learned about the new Toyota vehicles. I've been having electrical problems with my car for the past year. It started with the radio going in and out about eight months ago, and now it has been out completely for two months. The tire pressure sensor warning light cycled intermittently when the radio went out. When the radio finally quit working, the tire pressure warning light stays on constantly. When I researched replacing the radio with a non-Toyota radio, I had to replace all of the wiring harnesses (steering control and radio, and there is another harness that I can't remember -- this is from BestBuy). If you don't replace all of the wiring harnesses, you lose the functions of the electrical and warning system, for example, the tire pressure warning lights. In my research (on the internet), I found that the electrical steering can go out if the system receives a signal that the tires are out of alignment and tire pressure warnings. I check my tire pressure every week because the warning light is on. I do not have a tire pressure reset button on my car. The computer or the computer board on the radio periodically pings the sensors. I began hearing a humming noise from the front right side of my car. I originally thought it was a tension pully on the belt because of the cold weather and no warning light. I drove my car about ten miles with the humming noise. Then, the power steering came on, and the steering became almost impossible. (I learned to drive in vehicles without power steering.) Within minutes of the power steering light coming on, I had a catastrophic failure of all systems in my car. Every warning light on the dashboard was on. After about two minutes, the lights cycled off. About one minute later, they came back on. The difficulty driving without the power steering would have been a bad accident if I had been on the Interstate.

The panel that controls the interior lights, garage door operation, moon window and an SOS button appeared to have an electrical malfunction and part of that control panel which is on the ceiling between the moon window and mirror melted due a heat source. I do not know what caused the problem but took the vehicle to a dealer and they would not advise on what made the plastic melt. In my opinion that could have caused a fire as the vehicle is in the garage when not in use.

Factory paint is peeling off. It is a known issue and Toyota won't do anything for me.

I attempted to open my car door and the door handle simply snapped off in my hand. This is the second time this has occurred. The first time, my driver's door handle snapped off when a technician at my Goodyear repair shop tried to open it. Now, the exact same thing happened to my passenger driver's side door when I went to open it. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the manufacturing is defective, as the handle seems to have been simply glued on in spots rather than more securely attached. Bear in mind that this car is barely driven more than twice a week; it barely has any wear and tear and is under 80,000 miles despite 12 years of use.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, there was a knocking sound coming from the steering column. The contact stated that while driving downhill on several occasions, the steering column and dashboard vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Vehicle brake assist hold was engaged, foot still depressed on the pedal. The car released the brake hold and starting rolling at 5 mph even with my foot still on the brake. I had to let off the brake pedal and slam back on it and the car didn't stop in time and still hit the car in front of me. Very light impact but as a result led to the whole front of the car being out of shape (bumper, grille, headlights). Was aware of its deactivation but was not aware that the force of the brake pedal does not override the auto hold assist when the assist is deactivated.

When starting the car in low temperatures, approximately less than 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the ABS, VSC, and BRAKE warning lights remain on after starting. subsequent reading with an OBD reader indicates a C1246 trouble code. Operation of the vehicle without working ABS and VSC systems makes the vehicle inherently less safe and stable. I experienced several episodes of poor braking and skidding when driving in snow or rain before the problem was successfully diagnosed and repaired. The vehicle was serviced by Orland Toyota several times before the problem was able to be reproduced and repaired. A complete replacement of the ABS controller was required.

2013 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS NO ENGINE SHUTOFF IF ENGINE IS KEPT RUNNING IN ENCLOSED GARAGE1 WE BOTH ARE PROFOUND HARD OF HEARING ASW ELL DEAF. ALL NEW CARS SHOULD HAVE AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUT OFF OR WE WILL BE KILLED BY CARBON MONOXIDE

I HAVE A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. THAT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS WHEN YOU PRESS GAS PADDLE. THE SMELL COMES OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE. VEHICLES THAT DRIVE BEHIND THE CAR SMELL IT, TO THE POINT THEY BACK OFF AS FAR AS THEY CAN GET. THERE ARE ANY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON THE DASH INDICATING SOMETHINGS WRONG. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND 2-TOYOTA AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS. EVERYONE STATES THAT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON THEY CAN'T TELL WHERE THE SMELL OR PROBLEM IS COMING FROM. I'VE SWITCHED GAS FROM REGULAR TO MIDGRADE & FROM MIDGRADE TO PREMIUM. I'VE HAD AN FUEL INJECTION & FUEL INDUCTION, RADIATORS FLUSH AND NOTHING HELPED. THIS IS MY 4TH CAMRY AND WILL BE THE LAST. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE ECO OR BECAUSE IT'S AND XLE. BUT ITS TERRIBLE. 😢

APRIL 13, 2018 MY 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY ENTIRE OVERHEAD CENTER ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS REQUIRED DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT EXPOSURE CAUSING WARPING, CRACKING AND MELTING OF THE SMALL GREY PLASTIC FACING THAT HOUSES THE SMALL BLACK BUTTONS: 3 GARAGE DOOR BUTTONS, TWO INTERIOR INSIDE LIGHT BUTTONS FLANKED BY THE OPEN / CLOSE AND UP / DOWN BUTTONS. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM IN ANY EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED AS A NEW CAR UNTIL APRIL 10, 2018. THE ISSUE OCCURRED DURING HOT WHETHER WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN AN OPEN RESIDENTIAL LOT WITH AND WITHOUT A SUN SCREEN VISOR. THE TOYOTA DEALER INSPECTED THE ASSEMBLY AND STATED THAT IT WAS NOT ABLE TO DETECT AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER SAID THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED IN 2 TO 3 OTHER TOYOTA CAMRYS AT THAT DEALERSHIP WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ESTABLISH AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS / WAS THAT THE HEAT WAS SO INTENSE THAT THE PLASTIC FRAMING ABOUT 3' BY 5' WAS ACTUALLY MALLEABLE TO THE POINT THAT I COULD STRAIGHTEN OUT THE DEFORMED PIECES AND PUSH THE FRAME BACK INTO POSITION TO HOLD IN PLACE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT OVERHEATED AND FEEL OUT OF PLACE. THE CAR IS NOT UNDER EXTENDED WARRANT. BUT THE SAFETY CONCERN IS ABOUT SOME UNKNOWN CAUSE OF OVERHEATING THAT APPEARS TO BE FAR MORE THAN HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY ENTIRE OVERHEAD CENTER ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY PART NO. IS 63650-06432-B0. I PAID $223.90 FOR THE PART AND INSTALLATION OF THE FULL ASSEMBLY. NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTY IS OFFERED BY TOYOTA ON THE NEW INSTALLATION SHOULD THIS REOCCUR ANY TIME SOON. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE ARE / HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON TOYOTA FORERUNNERS BUT NOT ON 2013 CAMRYS. I BELIEVE THAT A POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL RECALL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR SAFETY REASONS. SEE 5 ATTACHMENTS

NEWS RELEASE THAT TOYOTA DEALERS STOP SEALING 2013 AND 14 TOYOTA CAMRYS AS WELL AS 5 OTHER VEHICLE STYLES DUE TO THE FLAME RETARDANT MATERIALS IN THE HEATED SEATS ARE NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA. MY CONCERN IS DOES THIS FLAME RETARDANT MATERIAL GIVE OFF A VAPOR OR FUME WHEN THE SEAT HEATER IS OPERATED. I AM DIAGNOSED AS MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVE AND MY EYES BURN OR ARE IRRITATED, AS WELL AS I EXPERIENCE BREATHING IRRITATION WHEN THE SEATS ARE OPERATIONAL. I HAVE STOPPED USING THE SEATS SINCE THE NEWS RELEASE (LAST 2 DAYS) BUT STILL NOTICE MILDER IRRITATION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SINCE AROUND OCTOBER 2013, WHICH WOULD BE THE START OF COOLER WEATHER IN COLORADO. IS A CHEMICAL VAPOR PRODUCED, DOES IT INFILTRATE THE CAR INTERIOR? *JS

I purchased a set of 4 Cooper Ultra Touring (235/45R18) Tires in 05/2022. Within 40,000 miles of purchasing the Tires, I was traveling on I-10 WB at approximately 70 MPH when the Vehicle started to shake violently. I pulled into the Right Lane and slowed down significantly and was able to make it to my residence safely. The very next day, I took the Vehicle to a local Goodyear Franchise and had a new Passenger Front Tire installed on 10/24/2022. The Service Tech advised that the Passenger Front Tire was on the verge of separating and that was the reason for the Vehicle Shaking. On 08/28/23, I was traveling on I-10 EB and the Driver's side of the Vehicle started to shake violently again. I traveled in the Right Lane at a slow speed until I came up on a Toyota Dealership in Daphne, Alabama. The Service Tech put the Vehicle up on a lift and advised me that the Driver's Side Rear Tire had separated and the Driver's side front tire had an uneven wear pattern on the inside edge. I had both tires promptly replaced. I have done my due diligence and have discovered many recalls on Cooper Tires as of late. The same descriptions I have read online are exactly what I have experienced with my two tires that have separated. I did check to see if these Tires were apart of any recalls and they are not. One thing I would like to point out is that these Cooper Tires were apart of a Promotion that Tire Choice Auto Service Centers were running in the Summer of 2020 to buy 3 tires and receive 1 free. For this reason, I do not know how many of these Tires were sold as it felt like they were just trying to get rid of them as they were heavily discounted. I do suspect that these tires were made in the same factories as many that were recalled. These Tires do have a 70,000 mile Warranty and I am currently in the process of trying to get the Tires from Toyota so Cooper can inspect them for a refund. Reference #: [XXX].
