2016 Toyota Camry

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL COLLAPSED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COLLAPSABLE AND WOULD FOLD WHEN THE COLLAPSE BUTTON WAS PRESSED. WHEN THE CONTACT LEANED ON THE DEVICE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FOLD WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER AND THEN PULL THE STEERING WHEEL BACK UP. LYNCH TOYOTA (179 TOLLAND TURNPIKE, MANCHESTER, CT 06042, (860) 646-4321) DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD REACH OUT TO THE CONTACT SOON. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,478.

WHILE I WAS TAKING A 360 DEGREE EXIT RAMP AT 35 MPH MY STEERING COLUMN COLLAPSED AND I GOT CONTROL BARLEY BEFORE I HIT THE CURB AROUND THE MEDIAN. I STOPPED AND RE-LOCKED THE MECHANISM. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER AS I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE ON THE HIGHWAY 55 MPH THE CAR ROLLED OVER TWO EXPANSION JOINTS THE LOCK AGAIN RELEASED THE STEERING WHEEL SHOT UP THE COLUMN COLLAPSED I BARLEY GOT CONTROL AGAIN JUST AVOIDING SIDE SWIPING A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME. IS THIS PART A SAFETY ITEM LIKE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS ? IS THIS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOOSEN ITSELF WHILE YOUR DRIVING ? PLEASE FORGIVE ME MY SCANNER IS NOT WORKING, IF YOU NEED THE REPAIR ORDER PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL MAIL IT TO YOU.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE 2016 CAMRY, IT JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS, THE RED WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT CAME UP ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG YELLOW LIGHT ALWAYS SAYS AIR BAG IS OFF NO MATTER IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SETTING IN THE SEAT OR NOT ( PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED ) , WHICH MEANS IT WILL NOT INFLATES IN CASE OF ACCIDENT AND WILL JEOPARDIZE AND RISK PEOPLE LIFE . I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE COUPLE OF TIMES AND TALKED TO MANAGERS THERE, AND THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE ,BOTTOM LINE THEY SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, THEY EVEN REFUSED TO SEND ME A WRITTEN LETTER STATING THAT, THEY SAID THEY WILL KEEP THE VOICE RECORDS WHICH I'M NOT SURE IF THEY KEPT OR NOT, ITS VERY SHAMEFUL AND SAD THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY ON SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD GET PEOPLE KILLED IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS AND THE AIR BAGS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY . TOYOTA INCIDENT# 190515-000353 SHOULD HAVE THE RECORDINGS FOR MY CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA MANAGERS WHO COULDN'T BE ANY RUDER AND INCONSIDERATE FOR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES, KEEPING IN MIND ALL THE RECALL THEY DID FOR THE AIRBAGS RECENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHICH STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HIT HER CHEST ON THE STEERING WHILE THE TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS HIT THE BACK OF THE SEATS IN FRONT OF THEM. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS WERE FRIGHTENED AND SUSTAINED MINOR BRUISES THAT DID NOT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER, WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S DECISION. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.

THE STEERING STARTED PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED AND DRIVEN . WOULD STOP AFTER THE THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE BATTERY IS LOW ON AMPS AND YOU TURN ON THE IGNITION THE LOW AMPS MESSES UP THE ELECYRICAL POWER ASSIST OR THE STEERING SENCER AND LOCKS THE STEERING PROBLEM IN WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND THEN IT"S RUNNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL ALTERANOR. BECAUSE IS YOU PULL OVER AND STOP AND RESTART THE CAR SOME TIMES IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM TILL YOU RESTART THE CAR. I REPLACED THE LOW AMP BATTERY AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. TOOK TOYATO TOMATO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED WITH A VOLTAGE REGULATOR OR WIRE CHANGE DIRECTLY TO THE ALT. REAL DANGERS PROBLEM ALMOST PULLED ME IN TO THE OTHER LANE!!!!

HI, MY TOYOTA 2016 CAMRY IS USED AS A DAILY DRIVER. I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE I WORK. MY JOB IS IN THE SHIPPING / RECEIVING DEPARTMENT AND ON A MONTHLY BASIS I WILL WITNESS 4 TO 8 WIRING HARNESS REPAIRS. WHEN I ASKED MY MANAGER ABOUT IT HE SAID "RODENT DAMAGE, THEY SEEM TO LIKE THE GLUE OR ADHESIVE". WE'LL GUESS WHAT ? IT HAS HAPPENED TOO ME! A SINGLE DAMAGED WIRE CAN BE DEBILITATING TO THE ELECTRONICS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE. IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR MY COMPLETE HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS BECAUSE THE WIRING HARNESS IS NOT MADE IN A MODULAR OR SECTIONAL OPTION. PLEASE CAN THIS ( WHAT SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING MATTER) BE LOOKED INTO AND POSSIBLY ADDRESSED?
