2018 Toyota Camry

CAR FRONT GRILL DESIGN IS SO POOR THAT DAMAGE CAUSED BY NORMAL ROAD DEBRIS ALREADY PUNCTURED MY AC CONDENSE LEAKING FREON / AC COOLANT TO RELEASE IN TO ENVIRONMENT /HARMING ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS INCREASING REPAIR COST. 2 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE RELAPSED MY FRONT AC CONDENSER DUE TO STICK OF WOOD OR PEBBLE GOING THROUGH FRONT GRILL EASILY AND PUNCTURING.

AT AROUND 1,800 MILES, HEADLINER ABOVE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PILLAR BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY BUZZING LIKE A BEE, CAUSING DISTRACTED DRIVING, NOISE OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD SERVICE FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIMES. BUZZING NOISE MAY PERSIST FOR HOURS ON A LONG DRIVE. THE BUZZING CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE HEADLINER. AN ADDITIONAL NOISE BECAME EVIDENT SLIGHTLY LATER, THE GLOVE BOX BEGAN MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE. THE VIBRATING SOUND CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. MOST RECENTLY, THERE IS A VIBRATING NOISE COME FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER PILLAR AIR BAG LOCATIONS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS.

AFTER DAYS HARD RAIN LAST WEEK ON THE ROAD EVIDENCE WATER AND DIRT MARKS CAME FROM PASSENGER SIDE FENDER TO ENGINE BAY. TOYOTA MUST FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE CORROSION AND ENGINE ELECTRICAL SHORT ! THERE ARE POSTS FROM OTHER TOYOTA FORUM: (HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/802-CAMRY-8TH-GENERATION-2018/1597922-WATER-DIRT-LEAKING-INTO-ENGINE-CABIN-FRONT-WHEELS.HTML) HTTPS://WWW.AUTOHOME.COM.CN/USER/201804/915221.HTML#PVAREAID=101356

VEHICLE HAD AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING INCIDENT RELATED TO THE FACTORY SAFETY SYSTEMS WHICH CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE. OF CONCERN IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO READ THE EDR, THERE WAS NO RECORDED EVENT THEREFORE THEY ARE DENYING THAT AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING EVENT OCCURRED. I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DOWNLOADED THE DATA HOWEVER THEY LEFT A THUMB DRIVE IN THE CAR WHICH ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS THE DATA THEY PULLED FROM THE CAR. WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS ON THE TRACK OF AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH BEING PUSHED ALONG BY ROLLERS UNDER THE WHEELS WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THE SPEED WAS LIKELY 2-3 MPH. WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WENT UNDER A CURTAIN OF SWAYING CLOTH STRIPS, ALARMS WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE, LARGE ILLUMINATED LETTERS THAT SAID BRAKE APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY, IT BRAKED BY ITSELF CAUSING IT TO COME OFF OF THE TRACK ROLLERS AND THE CONVEYER PULLED THE VEHICLE BEHIND INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE OWNERS MANUAL LISTS AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AS A SITUATION WHEN THE SYSTEM MAY ACTIVATE (ALONG WITH PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, GOING UNDER HIGHWAY SIGNS AND ABOUT 20 OTHER COMMON EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE ONE WOULD BE UNABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEMS PRIOR TO THE SITUATION). THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT TELL YOU TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM WHEN IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. TOYOTA DENIES ANY LIABILITY DUE TO THE EDR NOT RECORDING THE EVENT ALTHOUGH THEY IDENTIFIED THAT IT WOULD AND SHOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED. THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EDR RECORDING PROPERLY IF IT IS NOT RECORDING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THE DATA ON THE THUMB DRIVE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED WHEN THE CLAIM WAS FILED THAT TOYOTA HAS A UNIT DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING, SAME AS THEY DO FOR THE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THEIR VEHICLES EXPERIENCED SO CLEARLY THEY ARE AWARE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR
