2015 Toyota Camry

IN 2015, THE TOYOTA CAMRY SE SUDDENLY DID NOT START, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND CHANGED IT, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND IT WAS SENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND THE STARTING FUSE DISAPPEARED. THEN, BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE RIGHT DOOR GLASS OPEN SWEETIE DID NOT WORK AMONG THE SWITCHES ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

WAS DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT AND COULD FEEL THAT CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL AND BREAKS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY, THEN THE CARE STALLED AND STOPPED, SO TURNED CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED. SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES AND WHEN I FINALLY WENT BACK HOME BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO GO FURTHER, I COULD SMELL GAS WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE. EACH TIME IT STALLED, I HAD TO RESTART IN ORDER TO GO AGAIN, VERY SCARRY AND EVERYONE BEEPING AT ME DOESNT HELP.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND SUDDENLY I COMPLETELY LOSS POWER STEERING CONTROL. I NEARLY CRASHED! MY STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE WHILE IT MADE AN AWFUL "GRINDING" NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON LOS ANGELES AVENUE (118 HWY) IN MOORPARK, CA. I DO NOT RECALL IF I WAS TURNING; BUT I RECALL I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN TOOK OFF AND SUDDENLY LOSS POWER STEERING. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY EXACT PROBLEM AND MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF MY CAR (2015 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.5L AT). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NO RECALL AND WON'T HONOR MY INFORMATION. THE EXACT RECALL # = 15V144000. PLEASE HELP, I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND DON'T HAVE OVER $2000+ TO FIX ACCORDING TO SIMI VALLEY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

BOUGHT WITH 22K MILES ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED AND THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT. WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL (UNDER 45 SUBURBAN AND URBAN STREETS) THE CAR SOMETIMES CANNOT REGULATE ON SLIGHT INCLINES AND SPEEDS UP BY UP TO 5 MPH OVER SETTING AND DOESN'T DECELERATE. SEVERAL TIMES IT'S DONE IT ON FLAT ROADS. IT'S NEVER DONE THIS ON THE FREEWAY EVEN COMING UP SLOPES. IT'S RARE THAT MY DIGITAL SPEED READING IS THE SAME AS MY SET CRUISE CONTROL SPEED. MY DIGITAL SPEED READING ALSO USUALLY DIFFERS FROM MY SPEEDOMETER BY ABOUT 2-4 MPH ALSO, SOMETIME LAST SUMMER AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES HAS BEEN OCCURRING AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN FIRST STARTING MY CAR (I NOTICE IT ON DAMP OR DEWY MORNINGS) I CAN HEAR MY BRAKES AS I'M BACKING DOWN MY SLIGHTLY SLOPED, CEMENT DRIVEWAY. I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND BARELY TAP THE GAS BECAUSE I GO VERY SLOWLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A SHORT DRIVEWAY (35-40FT TOTAL) AND A LITTLE LIP AT THE ENTRANCE WHERE THE DRIVEWAY MEETS OUR CULDESAC. IT'S NOT EVERY MORNING AND I'VE NEVER NOTICED IT ANY OTHER TIMES. SOUNDS LIKE WHEN BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING DOWN AND FEELS ALMOST SPONGY WHEN PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. NO SQUEALING OR CHIRPING. IVE HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED TWICE AND THEY'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. *CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROX 42K

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2017, AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR MORE I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY OR MADE A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK IT TO VANDERGRIFF TOYOTA AND AFTER TAKING IT BACK A FEW TIMES, ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN HEARD THE KNOCKING SOUND AND SAID IT WAS THE SUNROOF, I HADN'T OPENED THE SUNROOF SINCE THE GUY AT VANDERGRIFF HONDA SOLD ME THE CAR. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER, INFORMED THE YOUNG MAN I HAD GOOGLED SUNROOF RECALL AND SAW THAT IT INCLUDED 2014 AND SOME 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY'S, I GAVE HIM MY VIN NUMBER AND HE SAID THIS PARTICULAR CAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I ASKED TO SPEAKE TO HIS SUPERVISOR, HE PUT ME ON HOLD, CAME BACK AND STATED AGAIN THERE NOTHING TOYOTA CAN DO. I DON'T HAVE $2500 DOLLARS OR MORE TO FIX A FACTORY DEFECT AND WOULD THINK TOYOTA WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2017, AND THE PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND JUNE 2017. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND THAT RECALL AND FIX MY CAR.

THE CAR HAS STALLED THREE TIMES, TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE LOSING POWER STEERING. TWICE ACCELERATING AT 5 AND 50 MPH AND ONCE IDLING AT 30 MPH. BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM ERRORS ON DASH. EACH TIME, PULLING OVER, GOING TO PARK, AND RESTARTING WORKS. CRANK POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED AFTER SECOND STALL BASED ON ENGINE CODE P0339.
