2014 Toyota Camry

TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS ARE BECOMING NON RESPONSIVE STARTING AT LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS VERY, VERY COMMON IN 2014 AND 2015 TOYOTAS. CAN' T PAIR PHONE WITH BLUETOOTH ANYMORE, SINCE "ADD" BUTTON IS IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF SCREEN. ALSO VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, WHEN BUTTONS NEVER OR INTERMITTENTLY RESPOND! CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERS AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. ONE DEALER ADMITTED BEING AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT ALL SAY TOYOTA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION! SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVER DISTRACTION!!!!

INTERMITTENTLY, THE BUTTON START WILL NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO START. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 50F. THE CAR WILL INDICATE THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT A KEY IS NEARBY (GREEN KEY ICON ON THE DASH) BUT WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND THE BUTTON IS PUSHED, ONLY THE ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR TURN ON. THE CAR, THOUGH, REFUSES TO TURN OVER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEY ARE ALSO UNABLE TO FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE OF THE BATTERY. BUT FURTHER TESTING OF THAT HYPOTHESIS HAS PROVEN ME WRONG, SO FAR. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS ONLINE BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO OFFER A FIX.

IN MY OPINION THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY AND OR CHARGING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW. THE NEW BATTERY FAILED WITHIN THREE YEARS. A NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY THEN DISPLAYED NOTABLE CORROSION STARTING AROUND FOUR MONTHS. THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THE OPINION OF A SEEMINGLY OFF GASSING PROBLEM CAUSING CORROSION ESPECIALLY ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL AS IS MY EXPERIENCE. THE INTERNET NOTES RISKS OF BEING STRANDED WITH DEAD BATTERIES AND IN AT LEAST ONE CASE BELIEF OR OPINION THAT A HOUSE FIRE STARTING IN THE GARAGE CAUSED AROUND $300,000 OF DAMAGE. THE FIRE IS STATED TO HAVE DERIVED IN THE BATTERY LOCATION FROM A CLAIMED DEFECTIVE BATTERY. THE DEALER STATES CORROSION IS COMMON AND COSTS AROUND $55 TO SERVICE AND OR REPLACING POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CLAMPS AND CONNECTING CABLES AS NEEDED. MY SISTER VEHICLE WITH AN OLDER BATTERY WERE BOTH GARAGED IN THE CALIFORNIA MODERATE CLIMATE AND HAS NO CORROSION. THE ISSUE OF A FAILURE SEEMS SUSPECTED BY TOYOTA AS THE DATE I REPORTED THE SECOND ALLEGED FAILURE, TOYOTA SENDS ME A QUESTIONNAIRE ASKING ABOUT DRIVING DISTANCES AND TIMES NOTING THE BATTERY FAILURE. THE INTERNET SUSPECTS THE SYSTEM IS OVERCHARGING. DANGER IN MY VIEW ARISES FROM BEING STRANDED OR FIRE. UNNECESSARY COST IS REQUIRED IN MY OPINION TO SERVICE AT $55 AND OR BUY NEW CLAMPS AND CABLES THAT ARE CORRODED. THE TOYOTA SURVEY CONFIRMS SUSPICION ADVANCED IN MY OPINIONS ABOUT CHARGING FAILURE SINCE QUESTIONS INCLUDE DISTANCE AND TIME DRIVEN AND STARTS AND STOPS. I HAD PLEASANT TREATMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND A REPORT TO THE CORPORATE TOYOTA CASE MANAGER. THE PLEASANTRIES DON'T HOWEVER ACCOUNT FOR THE COST OF SERVICE, COST OR REPLACEMENT AND ANCILLARY CONSIDERATIONS AS BEING STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY IS FRAUGHT WITH UNSETTLING CONSEQUENCES. I AM A LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER, THERE IS NO RANCOR OR ANIMOSITY. I OWN SEVERAL TOYOTAS AND WILL BUY AGAIN.

MY 2014 CAMRY STALLS WHEN I STOP AND TRY TO INTER TRAFFIC. IT DOES THIS VERY OFTEN. I REPORTED THIS TO MCKINNION TOYATO IN CLANTION AL. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO THIS.I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR, IT IS GOING TO GET ME OR SOMEONE KILLEDIF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. I AM GOING BACK TO THEM TOMORROW.IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS I WILLGO TO MY LAWYER AND INFORM IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENTBECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. SO HE CAN TAKE ACTION AGAINST TOYATO

AT 59000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED .SHORTLY AFTER THAT I NOTICED THE CAR SEEMS TO BE ALL OVER THE ROAD . THIS HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORST.SPECIALLY ON WINDY DAYS . CAN NOT TAKE A EXIT OR CHANGE LANES WITH OUT FEELING LIKE THE REAR END IS GOING TO BREAK FREE . IF ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROAD COMES INTO A CURVE FEELS LIKE YOUR GOING TO LOOSE CONTROL . I'VE HAD SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS LOOK AT THIS CAR . THEY DROVE IT AND EXPERIENCED IT . WAST TOLD HOW DO YOU DRIVE THAT CAR. CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES DO HAVE A FILE NUMBER. REQUESTING TO MEET A REP AT ANYLOCAL DEALER TO TEST DRIVE THIS CAR . WAS TOLD THEY DON'T DO THAT. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER WHO DID TRANSMISSION IF RELATED REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY . IF NOT I'M LIABLE FOR DIAGNOSIS CHARGES.I REFUSED .ALSO NOTE THAT I'M ON SET NUMBER 4 OF TIRES 2 SETS OF MICHELIN AND SET OF SNOWS.IVE BE AT REPLACED TIRES ON ANY CAR LIKE THIS CAR . I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA I'D #10966229 SOME E NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORST.
