2014 Toyota Camry

TOUCHSCREEN DOES NOT WORK 100%. AS YOU TRAVEL DOWN TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, THE TOUCH SENSOR IS OFF. WHEN YOU GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY TOUCH ANY ICONS WITHIN AROUND THE BOTTOM INCH OF THE SCREEN. THIS DOES AFFECT SYNCING A NEW HANDS FREE DEVICE. THIS MAKES IT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU CANNOT SYNC A NEW PHONE OR BLUETOOTH DEVICE FOR SAFE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND.

WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE "SHUDDERS" (FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS) AND LASTS ABOUT 3 SECONDS. HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 25 - 40 MPH. MECHANIC SAID ITS A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTOR. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS AN "ENHANCED WARRANTY" THAT WAS EXTENDED FOR CAMRY'S 2012-2014 AND I SHOULD VISIT THE DEALERSHIP. I SENT CAR TO TOYOTA OF TURNERSVILLE, NJ DEALERSHIP FOR FIX, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT DOES NOT INVOLVE MY VIN #. EVEN THOUGH ITS THE YEAR AND THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY CLOSED THE CASE, STATING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN ASSIST WITH FURTHER. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS PROBLEM ORIGINATED IN 2012, AND TOYOTA WAS STILL PUTTING BAD TORQUE CONVERTERS INTO THEM IN 2014, 2 YEARS LATER AND THEN STATING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE VIN, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME? I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016, NOW KNOWING THAT IT CAME WITH AN ISSUE IDENTIFIED YEARS EARLIER BY THE MAKER. IF THIS PROBLEM WAS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ENOUGH TO A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT THEY EXTENDED THE COVERAGE FOR 8 YEARS, 150,000 MILES, THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO COVER ANYONE WITH A CAMRY FOR THOSE 2 YEARS, NOT JUST DEPENDENT UPON A VIN #. IT SHOULD BE DEPENDENT UPON THE ISSUE HAPPENING WITH THE CAR, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHARGE INNOCENT FOLKS $3000 FOR A FIX THAT THEY CAUSED!

THE TOUCHSCREEN HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT AND YOU CAN NO LONGER USE TOUCH TO ACCESS CAR SETTINGS - THEREFORE NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANGE KEY FEATURES ON THE CAR. A COUPLE EXAMPLES WOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE CAR, AND DIMMING SCREEN BRIGHTNESS FOR SAFER DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE SCREEN HAS GRADUALLY GONE OUT OVER TIME AND OFFICIALLY QUIT OCTOBER 2019.

CAR EXPERIENCING SHUDDERING @ SPPEDS OF 25 TO 50 MPH. TOYOTA STATES RECALL WAS NOT FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. PROBLEM USE TO BE INTERMITTENT NOW IS CONTINUOUS AND THE SHUDDERING IS HARDER THAN BEFORE. AFTER HAVING TOYOTA CHECK IT MULTIPLE TIMES THEY STATE IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY THAT APPLIED TO THE CAR AT THE TIME.

I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARBONE SUBARU OF TROY NY ON 11/27 2018. (COMPLAINT ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED DECEMBER, 2019). THE CAR WAS A LEMON. I FINALLY GOT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE (WITH CLEAN CARFAX) ON 12/31/18. ON 8/30/19, CAR WAS TOTALED DUE AMOUNT OF MOLD FOUND EVERYWHERE IN THE CAR, ICLUDING ROOF AND SPARE TIRE IN TRUNK. I CALLED CARBONE SUBARU SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS IGNORED. I FINALLY GOT AHOLD OF MELINDA @ LITHIA MOTOR GROUP HQ IN OREGON. I WAS TOLD SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK WITHIN A WEEK. OVER 3 WEEKS LATER AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT AHOLD OF HER. I EXPLAINED TO HER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HORRIFIC ODOR IN THE CAR TO MY SALESPERSON AND TO A MECHANIC, AND WAS GIVEN AN AIR FRESHENER. I WAS TOLD THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR IN WINTER, AND WATER IS A SUMMER PROBLEM, AND THEY WOULD ONLY HELP ME IF I BOUGHT A 3RD CAR FROM THEM. I NOW HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH A PULMONARY SPECIALIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS TO CHECK FOR MOLD RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT HAS ALSO COST $150 IN DOCTOR CO-PAYS SO FAR, $500 IN INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE, $1,500 FOR DOWN PAYMENT AND EXPENSES FOR HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AFTER 8 MONTHS OF OWNING THE 2014 CAMRY. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE MOLD FOUND IN CAMRY, THE COMPLETE LOSS STATEMENT BY INSURANCE, THE $20,000+ ESTIMATE TO REMEDIATE THE MOLD, AND MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION

THE CAR ACCELERATED ABRUPTLY ON ITS OWN.
