2017 Toyota Camry

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 40,000 MILES. I WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY THREE CHILDREN AND WE WERE GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A 4 LANE VERY BUSY STREET DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 30 MPH. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED WITH NO WARNING OR ANYTHING.THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. I PANICKED BECAUSE THIS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY RADIO KEEPS REBOOTING AND WILL NOT CLICK OFF. WHEN I TURN MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA AND THEIR TREATMENT OF MY CONCERNS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTS ME AND MY CHILDREN IN DANGER. *TR

2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 8 TIMES NOW FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AND A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WOULD NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AND ON TWO OCCURRENCES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING COMMANDED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED 3 OF 4 OUT OF SAFETY. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER ATTENTION THAT IT SHOULD TAKE 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A SAFETY FEATURE FIXED. HE TOLD ME TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE ENGINEERS HAVE NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS. THE CAR HAD BEEN IN APPROX. 8 TIMES NOW FOR A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOYOTA'S ARE KNOWN FOR THIS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO PAY FOR A BRAKE JOB EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY KNOW THEIR IS AN DEFECT WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS TO TOYOTA BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

AT 45000 MILES A RATTLE OVER BUMPS AND AT LOW SPEED DEVELOPED UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE RATTLE INCREASED UNTIL I BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WITH 50000 MILES ON IT . THROUGH THE PROCESS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $135 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, $555 FOR LABOR AND $757 FOR THE STEERING COLUMN. THE NEW COLUMN SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE OF LOOSE PART OR PARTS IS INSIDE OF THE COLUMN. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT NO SATISFACTION. THE SERVICE TECH AT MY DEALER TOLD ME THERE HAS BEEN OTHER CASES OF STEERING COLUMN LOOSENESS AND REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS. I WISH TOYOTA SHOULD STEP UP ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAMRY FROM DEALERSHIP, THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO PUT GAS IN IT THE FILLER NECK HAD A LOT OF DIRT IN IT. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND WITH A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THERE THEY PUT A NEW CAP ON IT, AND INSISTED THAT WOULD FIX THE DIRT PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER I WENT TO PUT GAS IN CAR AND IT HAD A LOT OF DIRT INSIDE THE FILLER NECK AGAIN. I SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA SERVICE AND WITH CONTACT WITH TOYOTA THEY INSISTED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WITH DIRT GETTING INSIDE WAS NOT A PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THE EVAP SYSTEM HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH TO ALLOW FOR THIS TO OCCUR AND NO SYSTEM DEFECT COULD BE IDENTIFIED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK HER VEHICLE WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, HER VEHICLE JOLTED FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY AND WEDGED THE VEHICLE IN BETWEEN A TREE AND A LIGHT POST. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF ANY WARNING LIGHTS HAD ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO BE STUCK. A PASSERBY WAS ABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO RELEASE IT. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED DUE TO THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED TOYOTA OF NORTH CHARLOTTE (13429 STATESVILLE RD, HUNTERSVILLE, NC 28078) FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE KEPT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD BEFORE RECEIVING A DIAGNOSIS.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HOV LANE ON THE 170 AT 6:30PM. 2/7/2020. THERE WAS A SUDDEN WHITE FLASH AND EXPLOSION. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. ALL I COULD SEE WAS OUT MY REAR WINDOW. I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT IT STOPPED IN THE FAST LANE. ALL I COULD SEE WHERE CARS SWERVING TO MISS US. I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY HAZARDS COULD BE SEEN AS I COULDN'T SEE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES HOPING THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AND THE CARS COMING COULD SEE THEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE MY THROAT AND LUNGS WERE BURNING. MY DAUGHTER WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. I COULDN'T MOVE BECAUSE OF THE SEAT BELTS. WHEN SHE CAME TO SHE CALLED 911. THE FREEWAY WAS CLOSED DOWN. THE POLICE FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF US BEING HIT OR US HITTING ANYTHING. NO REPORT WAS ISSUED. THE AIRBAGS HAD TO BE CUT TO GET US OUT. WE WERE TRAPPED IN A CAR THAT WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS ON FIRE OR NOT. IF IT WAS WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN OUT! THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SHORT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO GO OFF. OR THE AIRBAGS JUST WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE WHITE LIGHT OR DEAFENING BANG WAS. I CAN ONLY CALL IT AN EXPLOSION.
