MY 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I FIRST TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE MORNING OR IN THE EVENING WHEN I GET OFF WORK. IT HAS ALSO STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET. THANKFULLY, THE CAR BEHIND ME DID NOT RUN INTO ME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR HAS TO 'WARM UP' BEFORE IT WILL DRIVE NORMALLY. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND IT ONLY STARTED DOING THIS IN SEPTEMBER 2018. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, THE FIRST TIME THE ABS, CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK, I'VE BEEN TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BECAME DETACHED AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE DOOR FRAME AND WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE INSURANCE LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

I HAVE A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. THAT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS WHEN YOU PRESS GAS PADDLE. THE SMELL COMES OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE. VEHICLES THAT DRIVE BEHIND THE CAR SMELL IT, TO THE POINT THEY BACK OFF AS FAR AS THEY CAN GET. THERE ARE ANY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON THE DASH INDICATING SOMETHINGS WRONG. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND 2-TOYOTA AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS. EVERYONE STATES THAT BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON THEY CAN'T TELL WHERE THE SMELL OR PROBLEM IS COMING FROM. I'VE SWITCHED GAS FROM REGULAR TO MIDGRADE & FROM MIDGRADE TO PREMIUM. I'VE HAD AN FUEL INJECTION & FUEL INDUCTION, RADIATORS FLUSH AND NOTHING HELPED. THIS IS MY 4TH CAMRY AND WILL BE THE LAST. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE ECO OR BECAUSE IT'S AND XLE. BUT ITS TERRIBLE. 😢

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD THIS HUGE POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, HONESTLY. I QUICKLY GLANCED AROUND BUT DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING. I GET TO MY DESTINATION AND WALKED AROUND MY CAR. NO GLASS WAS CRACKED, ALL MY LIGHTS WERE FINE, AND THERE WERE NO DENTS OR HOLES ON MY CAR. THINKING IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN DEBRIS THAT HIT MY CAR AND MADE A WEIRD NOISE I GOT IN MY CAR AND STARTED DRIVING HOME. I GET ON THE HIGHWAY, START GOING ABOUT SEVENTY MPH, AND OUT OF NOWHERE I HEAR THIS CRUNCH AND SCRAPE NOISE FOLLOWED BY A BUNCH OF AIR COMING FROM MY CEILING. CONFUSED, I GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND I PULLED OVER INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A WALMART AND THAT IS WHEN I SAW MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED FOR NO REASON! I WAS NOT PASSING OVER A BRIDGE WHEN I HEARD THE INITIAL POP NOR WAS THERE WAS NOT ANY CONSTRUCTION GOING ON NEAR WHERE I WAS WHEN I HEARD THE INITIAL POP. LUCKILY, I HAD THE SUNROOF CLOSED SO I WAS ABLE TO GET AS MUCH GLASS OUT AS I COULD. THERE WAS NO ROCK OR BRICK OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS INSIDE THE SUNROOF COMPARTMENT. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS IS FACING UPWARDS AND NOT DOWNWARDS.

THREE OF FOUR CAR DOOR LOCKS, ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC, HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHEN TRYING TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE CAR, BOTH WITH REMOTE AND INSIDE OF CAR USING DRIVER'S SIDE CAR LOCK BUTTONS. FORCES US TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK EACH DOOR LOCK WHEN USING THE VEHICLE AND LETTING ANY PASSENGERS IN. LOCKS HAVE TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE AS WELL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.
