2010 Toyota Camry

SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.

ON SUNDAY, MAY 18, 2014, I STARTED MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND MY CHECK ENGINE AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MORNING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, THE FIRST ONE I COULD GET WAS JUST OVER A WEEK AWAY. I QUESTIONED THE DEALERSHIP IF MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY SAID YES, AS LONG AS THE VSC LIGHT WASN'T BLINKING. MY CAR WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 27. I WAS TOLD MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE REPAIRS WERE AROUND $2,400 BEFORE TAXES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FROM A CHARCOAL CANISTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ANOTHER $500+. THE PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND IT WAS MAY 30 WHEN MY CAR WAS READY. WHEN QUESTIONING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT WHY MY BRAKE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT, THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING I HAD DONE AND THEY SAID THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH OTHERS GOING OUT. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT OTHER MODELS BY TOYOTA HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. IF THE COMPANY IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN OTHER MODELS, THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS FAULTY AND FAILED. AFTER SEARCHING, I ALSO FOUND THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AS WELL IN VARIOUS MODELS BY THE COMPANY. PERHAPS RESEARCH SHOULD BE DONE ON THIS ISSUE ALSO. MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP IT HAD 54,259 MILES. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY REITERATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS; THEREFORE, AT THIS POINT TOYOTA COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE REPAIR. *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAMRY BOUNCING, SWAYING, PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT, THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR AXLES SHAKE. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PULSING OR ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND TOYOTA IS NOT REPORTING THE PROBLEMS. I ALSO BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE FALSIFYING DOCUMENTS WHICH ARE AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. BRAKE ISSUES ARE LIFE THREATING AND TOYOTA ASSURED ME MY CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE ISSUES FIXED BUT THE DEALER FIRST BLAMED THE TIRES AND BALANCING. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE LOUD SNOW TIRES. THE DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SERVICE SPECIALIST. THEY BLAMED IT ON TIRE NOISES AND SAID THE SEE YOU IN THE SPRING WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TIRES AND THEY SPECIALIST SAID YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTEE. I CHANGED THE TIRES TWO DAYS LATER AND RETURNED ON MONDAY. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND SAID NOTHING BUT THEY WILL BE TALKING THE TOYOTA SPECIALIST. I HEARD NOTHING FOR A WEEK AND I HAD TO CALL THEM ON AGAIN ON MONDAY (TODAY). THE SERVICE MANAGERS SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I JUST RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MAILING OVER THE WEEKEND. I KNEW THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WERE HIDING SOMETHING. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A SECOND TOYOTA DEALER AS THE SPECIALIST RECOMMEND. THE SECOND DEALER ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUES BEFORE I GOT THERE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE MY CAR, NOT A MECHANIC TEST, AND ALSO BLAMED THE SNOW TIRES. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO ASKING WHAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS ARE CLOSER TO HOME FOR ME. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA AND OPENED TWO CASES. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF THE CLASSES AND OTHER INFORMATION, THEY SAID THAT WAS FOR IN-HOUSE USE ONLY AND I COULD NOT HAVE THE INFO. *TR
