2014 Toyota Camry

A RABBIT CHOMPED ON THE LOWER WIRING HARNESS RENDERING THE CAR DISABLED DUE TO THE WIRING BEING MADE OUT OF AN "ORGANIC" COMPOUND IN KEEPING WITH ITS "GREEN" PHILOSOPHY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC IT IS MADE FROM EITHER A PEANUT OIL OR SIMILAR INGREDIENT THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE WIRING COVERING CAUSES ISSUES ON MANY OF THE TOYOTA'S DUE TO RODENTS EATING THE WIRING AND IS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ANY ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THIS WILL COST $1900 TO REPAIR MY BRAND NEW CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 3 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STABILIZED THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ; UPDATED 04/13/18*JB *TR

AT TIMES AT THE FIRST START-UP IN THE MORNING, AND DURING THE DAY FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE SITTING FOR COUPLE HOURS (SOME TIMES LESS AND AT OTHER TIMES LONGER PERIODS), THE ENGINE PRODUCES A RATTLING OR TAPPING NOISE FOR TWO OR THREE SECONDS THEN IT GOES AWAY. OFTEN, AFTER AN IMMEDIATE SHUT-OFF AND RESTART, THE ENGINE PRODUCES THE SAME NOISE FOR COUPLE SECONDS THEN IT STOPS. IT'S EASY TO MISS THE NOISE IF THE RADIO IS ON OR THE SURROUNDING IS NOISY.

MY 2014 CAMRY HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM ABOUT TO BE ON MY 3RD CABIN FILTER DUE TO A MOLDY SMELL IN MY CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE BRAND NEW AND I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE FAULT AND IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR THEY REPLACED THE CABIN FILTER FREE OF CHARGE. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER IT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN, THE CAR SMELLS MOLDLY AND MY CHILD AND WIFE ARE SURROUNDED BY THIS MOLDY SMELL WHENEVER THE A/C IS ON. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA WITH THE REQUEST FOR THEM TO BUY-BACK THIS VEHICLE FROM ME AS EVERY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED DOESN'T NEED A CABIN FILTER UNTIL 50-60K MILES. TOYOTA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE AND FAULT. I WAS ADVISED TO PLACE A COMPLAINT AT THIS TIME HERE SINCE THIS ODOR IS EFFECTING MY FAMILIES HEALTH. TOYOTA HAS BEEN SLOW RETURNING MY CALLS AND HAS ADVISED ME THAT THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE OVER 30 DAYS FROM HERE.

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE IN NOVEMBER 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK LEFT TIRE BLOWOUT. THE SIDE OF MY CAR IS DAMAGED AND THE LOWER PANEL BELOW THE DOORS ALSO THE FRONT BUMPER. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE IS NOT COVERED BY THEM EVEN AND ONLY THE CAR (WOW). THE MANAGER AT TOYOTA TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE TIRE DEALER AND DISCUS THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURE (BRIDGESTONE RETAIL OPERATIONS, LLC - 800 847 3272) AND TOLD THEM OF THE SITUATION. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOOK ALL THE DETAILS AND PROVIDED ME WITH A CASE NUMBER (727790) AND TOLD ME TO PROVIDE THEM WITH 2 WRITTEN ESTIMATES AND SHIP THE DAMAGED TIRE TO THEM. AFTER A WEEK, I SHIPPED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE BRIDGESTONE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATED THAT MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENY, DUE TO LOW AIR IN THE TIRE. THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE HAD SUFFICIENT AIR IN THE TIRE AND THESE TIRES ARE I WENT ON THE WEB SITE HTTP://WWW.NITROFILL.COM/ AND EVEN IF THE TIRE HAS LOW AIR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWOUT. I CONTACTED (1-877-246-3455) THE NITRO FILL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BRIDGESTONE IS A "JOKE". I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ON SOLVING THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS NEW AND FULLY UNDER WARRANTEE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT SO I AM COUNTING ON YOUR HELP ... THANKS THE CONTACT PERSON AT BRIDGESTONE IS: DONIELLE STEPHENS: BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS, INC. 10 E. FIRESTONE BLVD.

LEGAL DEPARTMENT

THE REAR WHEELS OF A PASSING TRUCK THREW A BLANKET OF MUDDY WATER ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AS I BEGAN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS ONLY TO FIND THAT THE DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD WASHER (AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER'S WASHER) WETTED ONLY ABOUT 8 INCHES OF THE LOWER WINDSHIELD AT TWO POINTS ABOUT 8 INCHES APART. THE WIPERS WERE INEFFECTIVE IN MOVING THE TWO LOW STREAMS OF WATER HIGHER ON THE WINDSHIELD TO PROVIDE VISIBILITY AT MY LINE OF SIGHT EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TALL. FINALLY THE WIPERS BEGAN SCRAPING OFF THE MUD, WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE WASHER FLUID, PROVIDING ME MARGINAL VISIBILITY. SUBSEQUENT TESTING AT THE DEALER'S LOT SHOWED THAT NEITHER THE 2014 NOR THE 2015 CAMRY WINDSHIELD WASHER WETTED THEIR WINDSHIELD HIGH ENOUGH TO BE REALLY EFFECTIVE. AT MY REQUEST THE DEALER REPLACED THE FACTORY INSTALLED WASHERS WITH ONES THAT ELEVATED THE WATER STREAMS BY ONE MORE DEGREE. ALTHOUGH THE REPLACEMENT WASHERS TENDED TO DELIVER ABOUT 35% OF WATER OVER THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AT REST, AT ANY REASONABLE ROAD SPEED, TO INCLUDE SLOW ONES, THE WASHERS WETTED THE WINDSHIELD WELL ENOUGH FOR THE WIPERS TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY. TOYOTA COULD NOT PROVIDE A MORE EFFECTIVE SOLUTION EVEN WHEN THE CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO THEIR REGIONAL REP. THE WASHERS SHOULD REALLY BE REDESIGNED AND REPLACED FOR EFFECTIVENESS UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

THIS CAR HAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM, IT STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED (10 TO15 MPH) TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF SERVICE. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NO CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 4 MORE TIMES. WE WILL RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEPT. 8TH TO TRY TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. ON AT LEAST 2 OF THE STALLING THINGS IT NEARLY CAUSED SERIOUS COLLISIONS. I LOOKED ON YOUR DATA BASE AND FOUND OTHER INSTANCES OF THE CAMRY STALLING WITH NO RESOLUTION PROVIDE BY TOYOTA OR THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS THERE IS A GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY.
