2012 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

The "incident" is not a fault or flaw of my car in any way, but rather is caused by the auto industry's general shift to LED/HID headlights. In my opinion, they make driving unsafe for external observers because they are too bright and create a lot of glare, so that keeping my eyes focused and perceptive of features I need to see in the road directly ahead of me is becoming increasingly difficult, and therefore, by definition, more unsafe. Technology must be improved so that headlights can alter spectral output according to background illumination (dimmer means cooler,) and light output should have finer, adaptive directional control so that more light gets to objects in front that need to be illuminated, and less to oncoming drivers whose visual contrast range may be overwhelmed. I'm [XXX] , and I have the beginnings of cataracts. Older, halogen-based headlights don't interfere much with my...

On October 22, I drove my daughter to her high school that is about 6 miles away from my house and dropped her off around 6:50 AM. On my way back, after driving around 2 miles, I was turning around a bend about 25 miles per hour when my car suddenly started accelerating. Startled, I stepped on the brake immediately, but the brake was not working to my surprise. I stepped a second time, and then a third time to no avail. In the meantime, the car was surging forward into the darkness at a higher and higher speed. I panicked; I remember uttering,” oh, my God, Oh, my God” a couple of times and then don’t remember what happened. According to the sheriff’s car crash report, the car veered off the road to the left, glanced off a tree and continued in a straight line and crashed into an...

Transmission is shuddering skipping. Causing the car to shake. Happens during acceleration.

I got the shudder from the description online that affects the transmission upon accelerating. . It's from a ecm software recall? When placing the transmission in park, it rolls forward some. I have had this car for a couple yrs. Put only 30, 000 on it. it just reached 100,000. Bought it at 69, 000 miles. Will be taking the car in the Toyota shop friday. When I purchased the vehicle; there was no recalls as stated!

Car surging while going at low speeds turning to the right x 2. Stepped on brake and car would not steer either direction.

When accelerating transmission is hesitated to almost car dies. When pulling out into traffic cars almost run over you due to this or go to take off at red lights when you accelerate it hesitates then takes off.

I WAS GOING TO PARK MY CAR SO I WAS SLOWING HEADING TOWARD THE PARKING SPOT. I SLOWED DOWN AND TRIED TO PARK MY CAR; HOWEVER, AS I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELARATED ON ITS OWN AND JUMPED THE CURB. MY CAR HIT THE BUILDING BREAKING SEVERAL WINDOWS. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS ACCIDENT WAS A CASE OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELARATION DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF MY CAR.

Transmisión problem when acelerate my car

There was a recall on this Camry model 2012 to 2014 that the Charlotte, NC dealership refused to cover. I am having a transmission issue that causes my car to shudder and vibrate at regular speeds. “shudder comes from the transmission, especially during the acceleration of the Camry models. It can be alarming for the driver and be a safety concern when the gears do not properly change during operation. When this problem persists over a significant period of time, it has the poetry to cause long-term damage to your transmission. Damage to your transmission can be costly and affect the overall performance of your Toyota…” -Toyota of west county website

HIGH FUMES INSIDE OF CAR HAD ME DAIZED OUT. I STRUGGLED TO KEEP MY EYES OPEN AND NOT BE SLEEPY. I DROVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. FAKE LEATHER.

Gear shift from park to reverse is hard. Also, my wife has always complained about a smell coming from the engine, that when she’s inside my vehicle she gets a headache.

Since I purchased the vehicle I have been smelling a weird smell as if the AC unit is leaking. It has been brought in to Toyota multiple times and they could not find the issue, but I still smell it.

Car started “studdering” or “vibrating” at 20 mph then 40mph then 50-60mph. Every time the automatic car would shift gears it studdered very bad. Like it wasnt goin to excelerate. I am a single mom. Trying to work and go to college to support my children. The car needs fixed very badly. I am afraid it is goin to cause me to wreck. I have contacted toyota and they will not honor the recall. The car has a recall on the torque converter( i took it to a toyota dealer) that is causing the problem. I am still driving the car. It is all i have.

My car has a problem shifting into first gear and is jerking so bad I was driving and it actually was going super slow and going and secure and I almost got hit from behind it is stuttering and hesitating going into the lower gears it also keeps showing the traction light off and on and when it's on it causes It 2 sway a lot

navegation system send me to wrong way and off route route. Toyota descontinued the updadte for the map and provide no remedy for these concern. Case # 2010910001822

There is an accumulation of water underneath the seat of the back side where rear seated passengers would place their feet.

I learned after purchasing a 2012 Toyota Camry that there was a problem with the Torque Converter. The owner who sold me the car would not acknowledge the problem. Toyota had a recall on the car torque converter but I learned from Toyota it has expired. I was sold this car from U Drive Motors in HIckory, NC on June 10, 2021. I paid $11,000 for the car and the torque converter estimate that I got from Toyota is $1800. When I go down the street there is a shuddering sound and the car hesitates which is a safety hazard if a car is behind me. Since the owner of U-Drive will not take care of the problem would you please ask Toyota to assist. I am a cancer survivor and on a fixed income. The warranty company MVP would not take care of the problem because there was a...

THE SUNROOF GLASS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH ON A 4-LANE OPEN HIGHWAY. RURAL SETTING IN IOWA. DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE PASSING UNDER AN OVERPASS. WAS NOT FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. OUTSIDE CONDITIONS WERE LIGHT RAIN, 10-15 MPH WIND, ABOUT 55 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (SO NO EXTREME CONDITIONS). FORTUNATELY THE INSIDE SHADE WAS PULLED SHUT, OTHERWISE SHATTERED GLASS WOULD HAVE COME INSIDE THE CAR. FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR THE WINDOW APPEARS THAT IT WAS BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE THE CONNECTED SHARDS OF GLASS POINT SLIGHTLY UPWARD.

2012 CAMTY SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND 20-50 MPH.

WHEN DRIVING THE HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND SLOW DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ADVANTAGE TOYOTA I'M VALLEY STREAM NY AND THE TOLD ME THE ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN. I PAID 890.00 TO FIXED AND THE PROBLEM NEVER FIX. I TOOK ON 03-12-21 AND GET ON 0313-21. CALL THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT SIX TIME TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANGER AND NEVER RETURN OR ANSWER THE CALL. THEY TOLD ME HE IS BUY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE CITY, IT GETS ABOUT 15.4 MPG INSTEAD OF ~30MPG. I HAVE USED 87 OCTANE GANE FROM DIFFERENT STATION STILL YIELDING THE SAME RESULT. THE AUTOREPAIR SHOP HAS CHECKED FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD AFFECT GAS MILEAGE, BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, WHAT IS GOING ON? I BOUGHT TOYOTA FOR RELIABILITY AND FUEL EFFICIENCY, NOT TO BEHAVE LIKE A TRUCK.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, MY CAR VIBRATES FOR NO REASON, WHETHER I AM DRIVING SLOW (40-50 MPH) OR FASTER. RECENTLY, THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE.

CAR WAS TAKEN FOR BUSINESS AND DAMAGE TO THE CLIP OF MY FRONT BUMPER AND PASSENGER BOTTOM FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR AND BEEN NEEDING REPAIR FOR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING AND TRANSMISSION THAT HAVE 2 PROBLEMS

THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND DISPLAY CONTROLS IN THE RADIO CONSOLE FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 SE AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY TOYOTA. THE BUTTONS ON THE CONSOLE STOPPED WORKING AROUND 2 YEARS AGO THUS DISABELING ACCESS TO NAVIGATION, BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. DUE TO LACK OF ON SCREEN NAVIGATION I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RESORT TO USING A MOBILE WHICH IS DISTRACTING TO A DRIVER AND MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY IN UNFAMILIAR AREAS AND ON MULTILANE HIGHWAY NEAR EXITS. ALSO AS CONNECTIVITY TO THE PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH HAS BEEN DISABLED CALLS CANNOT BE RECIEVED USING THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. ON RESEARCHING MORE ON THIS TOPIC I HAVE REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE VEHICLE OWNERS FACING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE SAME PART OF THE VEHICLE FOR VARIOUS VEHICLES THAT TOYOTA PRODUCES. THE SOLUTION PROVIDED BY TOYOTA NEEDS...

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR HAS BEEN SHOOTING ICE FROM THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SOMETIMES THE DRIVER SIDE. ALSO, WHEN THE GREEN ECO LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. I'VE HAVE SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON THE CAR AND THERE ARE NO CODES APPEARING. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR IF THE AC WAS ON BEFORE I BRIEFLY TURN IT OFF. AS FAR AS THE SHAKING IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN THE ECO LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE LIGHT WILL FLICKER AND TURN OFF AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WILL STOP VIBRATING.

PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED

AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING WATER TO DRIP INSIDE THE CABIN UNDER THE FRONT SEATS. AS A RESULT, THE CARPET UNDER THE FRONT SEATS GETS WET AND MOLDY, CREATING A FOUL SMELL IN THE CABIN AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BREATHE NORMALLY. THE FAULT IN THE AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAUSES HEALTH PROBLEMS. THIS IS A KNOWN AND LONG-STANDING DEFECT AND IS MENTIONED ON DISCUSSION WEBSITES, SUCH AS CAR.COMPLAINTS.COM. TOYOTA STATES THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2013 FOR AN AIR-CONDITIONING PROBLEM AND WAS REPAIRED. AS A CONSUMER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW, WHETHER THIS CURRENT ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE SAME MECHANICAL DEFECT THAT THEY REPAIRED IN 2013. BUT AS IT IS NOW, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LONG-TERM HEALTH.

THE TRANSMISSION FILLS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING WHEN I GET BETWEEN 25 -50 MPH. AND IT IS GETTING WORSE

WHILE DRIVING THE CAMRY IN AUTOMATIC THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO DOWNSHIFT SLOWLY AND DRAG

WHILE DRIVING AND RUNNING MY VEHICLE AC, I BEGAN HEARING A "LIQUID SWISHING" NOISE, OFTEN WHEN TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP. LATER, WHEN PARKED, I NOTICED THE MAT/CARPET UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS WET. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A FEW DAYS LATER, THE MAT WAS STILL SOAKED AND THERE WAS STANDING WATER THERE, AS WELL SOAKED CARPET BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. FROM RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CAMRY IF THE AC COMES LOOSE OR BECOMES CLOGGED.

TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVER DOOR IS NOT LOCKING OR UNLOCKING WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE REMOTE OR ANY BUTTONS IN THE CAR AT ANY TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK OR UNLOCK IS TO USE THE KEY IN THE DOOR OR TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK ACTUAL LOCK. IT'S NOT SAFE AS THE CAR SOUNDS AS IF IT'S LOCKING BUT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS NOT AND GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO GET IN MY CAR THAT IS NOT TO BE IN MY CAR. HAS BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT JANUARY 2019 BUT STOPPED WORKING 6/3/2019.

THE AUDIO SYSTEM WHEN CONNECTED TO USB DON'T RESPOND SOME TIMES. TOUCH SCREEN IS SOO CHEAP. IN BUILT GPS RESPONDS VERY SLOWLY.EX: WHILE TAKING EXIT IT SAYS JUST BEFORE THE EXIT COMES. THE SCREEN SOME TIMES FLICKERS WHEN WE CHANGE TO REVERSE WHEN THE REVERSE CAMERA DISPLAYS. TOTALLY NOT SATISFIED WITH AUDIO AND GPS SYSTEM. IT'S EVEN MORE COSTLY. 90% COSTUMES DON'T USE THE GPS IN THE CAR FOR REAL DUE TO BAD MAPS AND SOFTWARE.

MY 2012 CAMRY WITH ONLY 60,123 MILES IS FAILING THE TORQUE CONVERTER SO THAT IS MEAN LIKE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS

TRUNK FALL ON YOUR HEAD.

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 77,000 MILES ON THE SPEDOMETER. ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I NOTICE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE, THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THIS VEHICLE ALSO FEELS LIKE YOU ABOUT TO HYDROPLANE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25 MPH, WHICH FEELS UNSAFE. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE BAKE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE A BRAKE ASSEMBLY SWITCH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS SAME VEHICLE, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY SWITCH WAS CHANGE AND THEY STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS LIGHT, AND BRAKE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON WHEN YOU...

CAR HESITATES AND LOOSES POWER WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND WHILE EXITING AND OR STARTING UP FROM AN INTERSECTION. REAR CARS AND MYSELF ARE IN DANGER. THIS PROBLEM IS FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS FROM SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING AND LEAVING AN INTERSECTION.THIS CAMERY WAS PURCHASED IN 2015, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM SINCE FIRST REPORTED, WHICH WAS IN 2015. OVER 300 TOYOTA CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 5-7 YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY 3 LANE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENTS OF THE CAR CAUSED IT TO CUT OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WAVED TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO ALERT THEM THAT THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST KILLED, AND WORST YET, OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY KILLED OR INJURED AS WELL. A YOUNG MAN STOPPED AND PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN. IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY MY NERVES ARE RATTLED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT...

AT NIGHT ON HILLS AND CURVY ROADS THE TOP THIRD OF THE WINDSHIELD BECOMES VERY DARK AND IT IS HARD TO SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TRIED USING MY BRIGHTS WHICH HELPS A LITTLE,BUT WHEN ONCOMING CARS ARE NEAR I HAVE TO SWITCH BACK TO THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST 2012.

DRIVING CAR AND I WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION ON A FOGGY MORNING ABOUT 6:15 AM. WENT TO TURN RIGHT AT INTERSECTION AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A DENSE AMOUNT OF FOG FLOW ACROSS THE FRONT OF MY CAR. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD, I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, SAW SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. AN ALARM WENT OF AND MY DASH DISPLAYED THE WARNING HYBRID SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THEN FIRE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND UP ALONG THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WAS JUST PASSING A GAS STATION AT THE TIME SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWN PASS THE GAS STATION AND THEN PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXISTED THE CAR. THE NEAREST FIRE COMPANY WAS OUT ON A CALL, SO THE CAR CONTINUED TO BURN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AS A RESULT THE ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR...

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VERY FAST, RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND TWO OTHER PARKED VEHICLES.

FROM A STOPPED POSITION, ACCELERATION HESITATES BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN SLOWING AND THEN ACCELERATING. UNSAFE FOR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2012 SE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED TO DO A HARD SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR THAT RESULTED IN ME NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SEE ONLINE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THEIR 2012 CAMRY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED ALREADY?!?! I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED OWNING A TOYOTA BUT NOW I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE QUALITY OF THE BRAND. IF TOYOTA DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I THEN I AM DONE WITH TOYOTA.

MY TOYOTA WHEN I GO 40 MILES TO 60 BETWEEN IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE WHEN I PUSH THE GAS NOT STOPS SO IF I HAD TO GUESS JUST A LITTLE BIT STARTS TO SHUTTER MORE STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN SHE JUST PISSES ME OFF I OWE $13,000 ON THIS CAR RIGHT NOW I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT BY READING ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AND YOU GUYS WIN BIG AND NOBODY FIXED IT I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL I'M DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA I USUALLY LOVE TOYOTA REPORT ABUSE

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK STOPS WORKING. MY CAR HAD JUST PASSED 60K WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR LOCK BY PRESSING THE KEY FOB. AFTER COUPLE MONTH ALL 4 DOORS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL 4 DOORS BY MANUALLY UNLOCKING USING THE KEY. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND OUT THE DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON ALL 4 DOORS AND MULTIPLE TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS A VIBRATION ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE ROAD. I SEARCH IT ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST EVERYONE THAT HAS A 2012 TO 2014 CAMRY HAS THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROAD ( HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, ECT.) AT BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDERS. THIS FROM MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE IS A MASSIVE MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE TOURQUE CONVERTER AS WELL AS THE ECU. THIS COULD AND WILL CAUSE MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS SHOULD AND NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL.
