2010 Toyota Camry

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO STALL ONCE ALL THE OIL HAD BEEN BURNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT AND ALSO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THE DRIVER/FRONT SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MOUNTING BRACKETS. THE DRIVER/FRONT VISOR HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED FORCEFULLY AND DEFECTIVENESS OF PART(S) SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA AS TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT THROUGH A TECH BULLETIN: T-SB-0284-09 AUGUST 21, 2009 SUNVISOR MOUNT LOOSE FOR 2007-2010 CAMRY. PER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AS MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 36K MILE WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RE: THIS DEFECT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO REQUEST A FIX UNTIL MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED 36K MILES. ALSO, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED AT TOYOTA AT 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 30K AND 36K MILES AND AT NO POINT WAS I INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS BROKEN SUNVISOR IS A SAFETY RISK AND TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICE AT 50,000 MILES, MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING, SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. THEN I HAD MY 2009 CAMRY INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AT 60,000 MILES THE STRUTS WERE ALSO LEAKING. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT THE FRONT STRUTS REPLACED ON THE 2010 CAMRY, THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT BEGAN TO LEAK SEVERE TO THE POINT THAT ONLY HAVING 800 MILES AND A MONTH OF USE ON THE NEW STRUT, IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY STRUTS AND THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN ON OF THE CARS. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED MORE THAN INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 05/15/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE ON A TRIP. HE SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 60 MPH. AS HE TRAVELED DOWN A HILL ON A MODERATE GRADE, THE VEHICLE QUICKLY REACHED A SPEED OF 71 MPH. HE DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL MANY TIMES SINCE AND IT WOULD NOT CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE ON A DOWN HILL GRADE. UPDATED 05/23/12

I PURCHASED A CAMRY IN JANUARY 2010, AND 2 YEARS LATER I NEED NEW TIRES. NOW THEY TELL ME THAT THIS COULD BE NORMAL, BUT I HAVE PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED 2 OTHER NEW CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO BUY TIRES. THE OUTSIDE TREAD OF MY TIRE IS COMPLETELY BALD. I REGULARLY ROTATE MY TIRES AND GET THE NEEDED MAINTENANCE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE WHEN DRIVING BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE ABOUT MY SITUATION. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT BECAUSE A WORKER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THE CAMRY'S THAT HE HAS SEEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THERE WAS A RAPID INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES DUE TO THE CRASH. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS PENDING AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

IN LATE 2009, I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 CAMRY HYBRID. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES. I HAVE JUST HAD TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AFTER 2.5 YEARS AND ONLY 19,700 MILES. THE FRONT TIRES WERE 4/32 AND RIGHT AT THE WEAR MARK, THE REAR AT 6/32. THE WORN TIRE TREADS BECAME EVIDENT WITH THE FIRST CHICAGO SNOW. AT 10 MILES PER HOUR, I WAS SLIDING AS I DROVE HOME AND, AT ONE POINT, HAD TO SKID INTO A CURB IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO AS NOT TO SLIDE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN A CROWDED INTERSECTION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR) TO COMPLAIN. HE TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE GUARANTEED FOR FIVE YEARS BUT HAD NO ESTIMATED MILEAGE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. I ALSO CONTACTED ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE TIRES LAST NO MORE THAN 25,000 MILES. I SPOKE WITH A BRIDGESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD 40,000 MILES. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL ON MY CAR REGULARLY AND ALSO HAD MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY SIX MONTHS (MY CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE TO DATE). IT IS EVIDENT THAT BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES DO NOT MEET EVEN THE MINIMUM ENDURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
