NOT SURE IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT MY NEAR MISS. YESTERDAY I DID TRANSMISSION FLUSH ON MY 2009 CAMRY. AFTER COMPLETING THE TRASMISSION SERVICE, I HAD MY WIFE START THE CAR, SO I COULD CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL (PER OWNERS MANUAL); MY 17 MONTH OLD BABY BOY WAS ALSO WAS IN THE CAR. I REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK AND CLEANED IT OFF. AS I REINSERTED THE DIPSTICK THERE WAS AN ARRAY OF SPARKES COMING FROM THE DIPSTICK. I REMOVED THE DIPSTICK AND INSPECTED WHAT HAD OCCURRED. IT APPEARS DURING THE PROCESS THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON MY BATTERY GOT SLIGHTLY EXPOSED AND WHEN I REINSERTED THE DIPSTICK IT TOUCHED THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF MY BATTERY AND WAS GROUNDED BY THE DIPSTICK TUBE. THE DIPSTICK SUSTAINED ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO THE AREAS WHERE IT CONTACTED THE BATTERY AND DIPSTICK TUBE. LUCKILY NOTHING CAUGHT FIRE DURING THIS INCIDENT, FOR MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I'M JUST PASSING MY EXPERIENCE ALONG. THANK YOU,
CAR TOTALED IN SEVERE ACCIDENT AFTER OWNERSHIP OF EIGHT MONTHS. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MCLOUGHLIN BLVD IN PORTLAND OR AND MY TOYOTA WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A CHRYSLER WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT HIT SEVERAL OTHER CARS (BELIEVE THE POLICE OFFICER SAID 6.)

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REPAIR THIS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER, WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS VEHICLE - THE EVAPORATION VAPOR CANISTER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS PIECE WAS PART OF A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA LOST. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR A PART SO THAT IT PASSES INSPECTION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TOYOTA KNEW THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS PART.
THE BATTERY DRAINS IF THE CAR IS PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ISSUE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED BEFORE; ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. HAVING TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A PORTABLE JUMP KIT IN MY TRUNK JUST IN CASE.

313V442000 · Air Bags; Electrical System; Equipment:appliance:air Conditioner
Oct 17, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

SUMMARY: TOYOTA RECOVERED SOME FAILED IGNITION CONTROL MODULES FROM THEFIELD. INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT A SOLDER JOINT IN THE POWER TRANSISTOROF THE MODULE WAS SUBJECT TO FAILURE. BECAUSE THE PART IS AN EMISSIONRELATED COMPONENT A VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS CONDUCTED.THE PREDOMINANT MODE OF FAILURE IS AN INABILITY TO START THE ENGINE,ALTHOUGH A STALLED CONDITION CAN OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.SINCE THE REPORTED OCCURENCE OF ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES IS SMALL, AND THEREPAIR IS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN, THELIKLEHOOD OF FURTHER ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES IS REMOTE.===
