2015 Toyota Camry

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.

KNOCKING OCCURS IN ROOF/SUNROOF STRUCTURE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON ROADS WITH MINOR BUMPS, AND WHEN DRIVING OVER ALL SPEED BUMPS (MOVING SLOWLY OR QUICKLY OVER THEM). SOUNDS LIKE PARTS OF ROOF STRUCTURE ARE HITTING ONE ANOTHER. AFTER CONDUCTING ONLINE RESEARCH, ISSUE SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG OTHER OWNERS. 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY XSE V6.

THE CAR HAS 32K MILES ON IT. WHEN THE SPEED REACHES AROUND 32 THERE'S A SHUDDER/VIBRATION WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY RPM DROP BEFORE SHIFTING TO NEXT GEAR. WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED AROUND 42/43 (INNER ROADS), 62/65 (FREEWAYS) TORQUE CONVERTOR LOCKS UP ACCOMPANIED BY LOWER RPM AND THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION BEGINS WHICH IS CLEARLY FELT ON GAS PEDALS, STEERING WHEELS AND DOORS AND FEEL LIKE DRIVING ON BUMPY ROAD, THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VIBRATION IS TO EITHER GIVE MORE POWER/ACCELERATION SO THAT IT RELEASES LOCK UP AND SHIFTS GEARS (OR) JUST RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL SO THAT IT SLOWS DOWN AND COMES OUT OF LOCK-UP. WHEN VIBRATION HAPPENS, GIVING POWER/PRESSING ACCELERATOR WILL INCREASE THE VIBRATION WITH NO INCREASE IN SPEED UNTIL IT SHIFTS TO OTHER GEARS, CHECKED WITH A COUPLE OF DEALERS TO GET AN OPINION BUT THE ANSWER I AM GETTING IS THERE IS NO CODE IN THE HEALTH CHECK AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ANY CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT ITS TORQUE CONVERTOR LOCKUP VIBRATION. THEY WILL NOT DIAGNOSE OR PERFORM ANY OTHER OPERATIONS WITHOUT ANY CODE OR ITS COMPLETELY BROKEN. TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT WILL COST AROUND 3K BASED ON DEALER INFO. BASED ON TOYOTA'S INTERNET FORUMS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS IN THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TORQUE CONVERTOR AND TOYOTA SHOULD COME FORWARD TO REPLACE IT OR FIX IT SIMILAR TO THEIR 2014/2014.5 MODELS, WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED WITH THE 2015 MODELS. THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THEN VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED WHILE IN REVERSE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HI , I'M REPORTING THIS STEERING PROBLEM CAUSE IT'S GETTING WORSE AND STILL NO RECALL. I TOOK IT IN AND TOYOTA CODED IT ON COMPUTER AND NO CODE CAME UP. THEY NEVER TEST DROVE IT EITHER. CAUSE IT PULLS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND A CONSTANT WHINING. IT DOES THAT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ITS STARTING TO GET SCARY. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE. IT'S MY ONLY ONE I GOT. PLEASE RECALL MY CAR. IT'S GOT 49,000 MILES AND 2015 CAMRY. THIS IS OVER A 175 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS STEERING PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR TOYOTA TO CHECK IT AGAIN. IT'S OBVIOUS SOUND NOW. THANKS

MY CAR STARTED A HAVING A VIBRATION/SHUDDER WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE STREET AND FREEWAY FROM SPEEDS OF 25MPH TO 50MPH. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ON TURNS . I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION BUT AFTER I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE I LEARNED THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THEY DO. ITS SEEMS TO BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I LOOKED UP THE HISTORY OF THIS TORQUE PROBLEM AND IT GOES BACK AS FAR AS 2011 FOR TOYOTA CAMRY. I NEED THIS FIX BY TOYOTA AND TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR GIVEN THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIX FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL.

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR AND MOTOR TESTED FINE. WOUND UP REPLACING THE CAR'S BATTERY AND THAT CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE BATTERY TESTED WITHIN SPECS BUT WAS ON THE LOW END OF ACCEPTABLE. APPARENTLY IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, BUT STILL WITHIN SPECS, IT CAN AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR AND OR SENSOR AND RESULT IN PULLING IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER.
