2014 TOYOTA CAMRY Electrical System Problems

There is a transmission shudder when traveling around 30-40 MPH as well as sporadically when increasing speed. Recently, there is a very hard shift/jolt when transmission is shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ECM). This is a safety hazard, and I contacted Toyota dealership in Vineland who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota issued the recall themselves, Toyota dealers need to replace to the torque converter and update the ECM software. I am reaching out to the NHTSA because this is a safety hazard, and I hope you are able to help me.

The vehicle has an issue with the radio the steering wheel controls do not work the touch screen does not work the buttons around the radio does not work there is also an issue with the transmission between 20 mph and 25 mph in extreme shutter happens that cuts off goes away there is no transmission light lit there is no check engine light lit I am completely at a loss to figuring out the repair I do not want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to have it repaired with a mechanic shop I have noticed that with the 2014 Toyota Camry 95% of the vehicles all have the same issue transmission shutter and the electrical issue with the radio this is a very extremely common issue and I wish they would have it recalled and repaired because Toyota Camry 2014 is a very good reliable vehicle only...

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Hybrid system warning light illuminated, prompting the contact to discontinue driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the Hybrid Propulsion System battery. The contact was informed that the Hybrid battery showed signs of arcing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.

The radio buttons as well as buttons on steering wheel are unresponsive. In addition the front bumper corner piece near the wheel keeps popping off of the car.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while parked and starting the vehicle, the air conditioner unit failed to function. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 70,000.

The AC Compressor failed right before the average life of the average AC Compressor. And if you look at Toyota Camry from 2012 thru 2013, there were recalls on AC Compressors, so I find it hard to believe it is a coincidence that the 2014 AC Compressor failure shouldn't also have a recall just like 2012 and 2013. It sounds to me like Toyota is not being honest here.

Timing chain snapped- causing irreversible damage to the engine. I now need a new engine for the vehicle.

The torque convert creates a shudder when under light load between 35- 50mph. Initially it was happen sporadically and when it was initially noticed it was always on the same stretch of road which prompt me to think it was the road surface. Only after about a year of this did it appear to happen more often and at different areas. With more attentive driving I narrowed down the speed and conditions. I have had my oil change at the dealership every time since getting the car with 6K miles. At my service 1/7/23 I asked a technician and he said it is a known issue on the torque converter. Toyota Warranty Enhancement program ZE5 is meant to replace for 8 years from first use or 150,000, whichever comes first. Toyota claims they reached out to each owner but in my case I was the second owner and was not...

When accelerating from a stop the vehicle will sometimes move about 10 feet and then hesitate for about 1 to 2 seconds. It will then accelerate normally. One time the vehicle accelerated to about 20 mph and then the engine rpm returned to idle. The accelerator was pushed to the floor and the rpm remained at idle. The accelerator was released and pushed down again. The vehicle accelerated normally. This happened only one time. The intermittent hesitation is very dangerous when trying to cross a busy intersection when the cross traffic is uncontrolled. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for the problem. The technician could not duplicate the condition. The U760E torque converter shudder recall upgrade was performed. This did not fix the problem. The service advisor said that the technician said that some transmission hesitation was normal. The service advisor also said there had been other complaints about...

While stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake pedal only, the power switched from the battery of this hybrid vehicle to gas and started racing, causing the vehicle to accelerate and move through the crosswalk and into the intersection.? Had there been pedestrians in the crosswalk or traffic at the intersection, the outcome could have been tragic. I applied pressure to the brake which did not readily stop the vehicle until it had crossed into the intersection. Once the engine stopped racing and the car has come to a halt, I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and tested it to determine if I could still drive it. I reported the problem to the dealer and they kept the vehicle for 2 days. I could feel the difference in the way the loaner vehicle performed. They indicated the problem was fixed although no...

My vehicle’s radio buttons/screen no longer function along with the buttons on my steering wheel. This creates a problem as I use the hand free option on many occasions. It’s come to my attention I am not the only person this has happened to.

The AC air conditioner has a smell, like mold, called Toyota and I was told no recall has been issued, looking up online I’m not the 1st person That complains about this issue.

On random occasions, key in the ignition won't turn at all, regardless of stepping on the brake and moving the steering wheel at the same time. Sometimes, I was able to turn the key after trying again in 5 minutes. Once, it worked after 25 minutes of trying. Not a consistent issue, but I never know when and where it may happen again. Not sure if it is "available for inspection upon request". Don't believe that the car has been inspected by a service center or anyone else yet. While my safety was not put in jeopardy at those specific moments, it could be a safety issue in the future, because I may have to drive someone to a medical facility or I may need to leave an environment that has become unsafe, and I would be stranded for however long, if the ignition abruptly gets locked.

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE ..I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TURNED ON MY LIGHTS , AS I DID THE ENTIRE DASH LIT UP AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLED , GOT HOME AND NOTICED MY KEY FOB WOULDN'T LOCK THE DOORS , GOT BACK IN TO START IT AND IT DID NOTHING , NO POWER TO ANYTHING .

I HAD MY BREAKS CHANGED BACK IN JULY, BEFORE I LEFT ON MILITARY ORDERS. WHEN I CAME BACK HOME, I NOTICED MY CAR WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS REALLY HARD FOR THEM TO WORK. OR THEY WOULD STILL BE ENGAGED LIKE, MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO DRIVE. AS WELL MY CAR WOULD REV UP, IN PARK MODE. OR WHILE I'M WAITING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'VE NOTICED A POPPING SOUND ON LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR AS WELL. MY ELECTRIC SYSTEM WILL SOMETIMES CUT OFF EVERYTHING IN MY CAR. I WILL HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF WAIT A FEW MINS AND TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON, I TOOK IT TO BODY SHOP. THEY RAN A TEST ON IT. AND STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND REST CODES. I USE THIS CAR TO AND FROM WORK. I GET...

I HAVE HAD ALL 4 OF MY DOOR ACTUATORS REPLACED. TWO OF MY DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, SO I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATORS. ALTHOUGH, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE LOCKS WILL WORK SOMETIMES AND NOT WORK SOMETIMES. THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE A/C MOTOR ONCE, AND THE NEW ONE GOES IN AND OUT. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO HIT BENEATH THE DASH TO GET MY A/C TO KICK ON.

TOUCHSCREEN DOES NOT WORK 100%. AS YOU TRAVEL DOWN TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, THE TOUCH SENSOR IS OFF. WHEN YOU GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY TOUCH ANY ICONS WITHIN AROUND THE BOTTOM INCH OF THE SCREEN. THIS DOES AFFECT SYNCING A NEW HANDS FREE DEVICE. THIS MAKES IT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE YOU CANNOT SYNC A NEW PHONE OR BLUETOOTH DEVICE FOR SAFE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TURNING SIGNALS WOULD MALFUNCTIONING PERIODICALLY. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE ENTERING THE VEHICLE FROM THE AIR VENTS PERIODICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAMILY TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON (1661 WET N WILD WAY, ARLINGTON, TX 76011) WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHT BULBS IN THE HEADLAMPS WERE REPLACED AND THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THE FOG LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIREMAN STATED THE HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. HE ALSO STATED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. FOR ME TOO REPORT IT TO TOYOTA

I WAS DRIVING DURING NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON AT HIWAY SPEED AND ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN PITCH BLACK! I HAD TO GUESS WHERE I WAS ON CURVED OVERPASS. I TRIED FLICKING THE HI/LOW BEAM SWITCH, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. COULDN'T GET LIGHTS TO COME ON UNTIL STOPPED, SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTARTED IT. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. FIRST TIME WAS PRIOR TO ANY BODY DAMAGE, SECOND TIME IT WASN'T COMPLETELY PITCH BLACK SO NOT AS DANGEROUS. ANOTHER TRIP WE WERE ON 4 LANE INTERSTATE DRIVING THROUGH A CITY AND SOMEONE ELSE HAD HIT AN ORANGE CONSTRUCTION BARREL AND IT HAD FLIPPED UP INTO AIR AND WE HIT IT AT HIWAY SPEED ON LEFT FRONT CORNER OF CAR. HAD TO REPLACE BUMPER, HEADLIGHT, WASHER FLUID TANK, REPAIR FENDER. AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I AM AN EMT AND ANOTHER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ENTERING HIS GARAGE, WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE FORWARD CAUSING HIM TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT A GARAGE WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS UNAWARE IF THERE WAS ANY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SUSTAINED ANY MEDICAL INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED HE FIXED THE BUMPER ON HIS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FAMILY TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON LOCATED AT 1661 WET N WILD WAY, ARLINGTON, TX 76011, (682) 227-8877, THREE WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE BATTERY BECAME FAULTY. THE DEALER EXCHANGED THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE...

2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BEING HACKED AND HACKERS GAINING CONTROL OVER STEREO SYSTEM. *LD *JS

THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER OPERATE BY REMOTE. THIS IS NOT A REMOTE PROBLEM SINCE MY REAR DOOR LOCKS DO RESPOND. I BELIEVE THE FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE REPAIRS FOR THIS WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA. I THINK THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

TOUCH SCREEN RADIO BASS CONTROL STOPPED WORKING WURRING NOISE FROM STEERING WHEEL WHILE I TURN WHEEL IN REVERSE BACKING PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T TURN OFF

FIRST NOTICED LAST YEAR 2018. HEAT AND A/C CONTROLS SEEMED TO BE FLUCTUATING. A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR A FEW TIMES, UNTIL I STARTED DRIVING A FEW MORE MILES, WORKED SOMEWHAT. NOW MARCH 2019, A/C SEEMED TO BE GETTING WARM IT IS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND THE OUTSIDE AIR CONTROL STAYS ON BUT SHOULD NOT WITH THE A/C CONTROL. HEAT SEEMS TO WORK ON AND OFF, JUST NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS ALL WHILE DRIVING. I LEASED THIS CAR, THE ONLY OWNER, GARAGED AND ONLY 41K MILES. I ALSO GOT A WEIRD SMELL ONE TIME BUT CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS. I AM GOING TO CALL FLEMINGTON TOYOTA AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. PROBABLY NOT COVERED. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND THAT IS SO DISTRESSING AND DISHEARTENING.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME, AN ACTUATOR IN MY 2014 CAMRY LE FAILED. I NOW HAVE HAD FOUR ' DIFFERENT ' ACTUATORS FAIL IN MY CAR. THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. MOST CONSUMERS EXPECT THAT IF THE CAR HAS AN AUTO-LOCK FEATURE ' AS OURS HAS' THAT IT WILL DO SO. IF ONE DEPRESSES THE REMOTE LOCK BUTTON, OR THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THEY EXPECT ALL DOORS WILL LOCK. OUR DOORS FAIL IN ALL THESE WAYS. HAVING FOUR LOCKED DOORS IN OUR SEDAN IS A VITAL SAFETY FEATURE, BOTH DURING MOVEMENT, AND WHILE PARKED. WE BOUGHT OUR CAMRY AS A NEW CAR IN 2014. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO AT 31K MILES, THE REAR, LEFT ACTUATOR FAILED. THE OEM PART COST $341. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT, AND FIXED AT MY EXPENSE IN MARCH, 2018. THE DAY OF THE REPAIR, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FAILED. I CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE. I...

CAR IN MOTION ON CURVE IN CITY STREET. PUSHED REAR WINDOW DEFROST BUTTON. RADIO WENT OFF. HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. STEERING VERY HARD TO USE. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) DASH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN 2 SECONDS ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES.

STEERING SYSTEM WARNING SHOWING AND HAVE NO POWER, HARD TIME TO RESTART THE ENGINE.

REAR SUSPENSION BAD MAKE BUMPS IN BOTH TIRES,THAT CAUSE NOISE WEN RUNNIG,IM TAKE TO THE DEALER WHERE I BUY TO ALIGNMENT REAR WHEEL BUT DONT HELP..TIRES WORST BAD.SHOCK DONNT SHOWS ANY LEAKS,AND THE BRAKES IM FEEL DONT WORKS PROPERLY. DELAYS IN PRESS OR SOMETHING AND RADIO TOUCHY SCREEN DON'T WORK!

AT 50000 MILES THERE WAS A PLASTIC CRUNCHING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THERE WAS MORE CRUNCHING AND LOST THE CRUISE CONTROL FOLLOWED BY THE HORN AND RADIO CONTROLS. THE PHONE FUNCTION WAS THE LAST TO GO ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE CLOCK SPRING AND BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING AS OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MY AIRBAG AND HORN DO NOT WORK DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE OF. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS ARE BECOMING NON RESPONSIVE STARTING AT LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS VERY, VERY COMMON IN 2014 AND 2015 TOYOTAS. CAN' T PAIR PHONE WITH BLUETOOTH ANYMORE, SINCE "ADD" BUTTON IS IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF SCREEN. ALSO VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, WHEN BUTTONS NEVER OR INTERMITTENTLY RESPOND! CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERS AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. ONE DEALER ADMITTED BEING AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT ALL SAY TOYOTA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION! SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVER DISTRACTION!!!!

DEAD BATTERY AFTER CAR IS IDLE FOR 3-4 DAYS, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

INTERMITTENTLY, THE BUTTON START WILL NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO START. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN AT TEMPERATURES AROUND 50F. THE CAR WILL INDICATE THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT A KEY IS NEARBY (GREEN KEY ICON ON THE DASH) BUT WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND THE BUTTON IS PUSHED, ONLY THE ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR TURN ON. THE CAR, THOUGH, REFUSES TO TURN OVER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND, OF COURSE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEY ARE ALSO UNABLE TO FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT IT COULD BE A GROUNDING ISSUE OF THE BATTERY. BUT FURTHER TESTING OF THAT HYPOTHESIS HAS PROVEN ME WRONG, SO FAR. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS ONLINE BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO OFFER A FIX.

IN MY OPINION THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY AND OR CHARGING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW. THE NEW BATTERY FAILED WITHIN THREE YEARS. A NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY THEN DISPLAYED NOTABLE CORROSION STARTING AROUND FOUR MONTHS. THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THE OPINION OF A SEEMINGLY OFF GASSING PROBLEM CAUSING CORROSION ESPECIALLY ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL AS IS MY EXPERIENCE. THE INTERNET NOTES RISKS OF BEING STRANDED WITH DEAD BATTERIES AND IN AT LEAST ONE CASE BELIEF OR OPINION THAT A HOUSE FIRE STARTING IN THE GARAGE CAUSED AROUND $300,000 OF DAMAGE. THE FIRE IS STATED TO HAVE DERIVED IN THE BATTERY LOCATION FROM A CLAIMED DEFECTIVE BATTERY. THE DEALER STATES CORROSION IS COMMON AND COSTS AROUND $55 TO SERVICE AND OR REPLACING POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CLAMPS AND CONNECTING CABLES AS NEEDED. MY SISTER VEHICLE WITH AN OLDER BATTERY WERE BOTH GARAGED IN THE CALIFORNIA MODERATE CLIMATE AND HAS NO...

ON CHANGING CELLULAR SERVICE THIS YEAR, I GOT A NEW PHONE. INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER IT INTO THE CAMRY'S BLUETOOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE, AS I FOUND OUT AFTER TAKING THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE, THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TOUCH SCREEN NO LONGER WORKS. AS A RESULT, TO USE THE CELL PHONE IN THE CAR I HAVE TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND AND WORK THE PHONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM, APPARENTLY SO PREVALENT IN TOYOTAS THAT IT CAN BE GOOGLED ONLINE.

'TAKATA RECALL' ON DEC. 20, 2017 THE SOUND IN MY TOYOTA CAMRY WENT OUT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN GRENADA,MS INFORMED ME ON USING THESE PROCEDURES TO GET THE ISSSUE TOKEN CARE OF. I️ BOUGHT MY 2014 CAMRY BRAND NEW I️ AM THE FIRST OWNER

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.

AC CONDENSER UNIT PLUGS AND CREATES MOLD AND BAD SMELL FROM VENTS. MOLD CAUSES PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES TO START HAVING REACTIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE IS CONCERN THAT 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. A SHORT CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO BECOME DISABLED OR INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO 2013 CAMRY MODEL RECALL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V442000. I THINK THE RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO 2014 CAMRY MODEL AS WELL.

MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS (INCLUDING CRUISE CONTROL, PHONE CONTROLS, RADIO AND VOLUME CONTROLS) STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. WHILE AT MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE, I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN. I WAS INFORMED THAN MY SPIRAL CABLE WAS THE ISSUE, WHICH AFFECTS MY CONTROLS AND AIR BAG. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW OF THE LOT 2.5 YEARS AGO, HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE ACTIVE. IN ADDITION, THE DOORS COULD NOT BE LOCKED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER A WHILE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

BATTERY DIED, BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SWITCH FRIED AND SHORT CIRCUITED MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL WIRING. RESULTING IN $2,800.00 IN DAMAGES. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM FOR CAMRY'S AND I BELIEVE THIS WASN'T FIXED ON MINE.

A RABBIT CHOMPED ON THE LOWER WIRING HARNESS RENDERING THE CAR DISABLED DUE TO THE WIRING BEING MADE OUT OF AN "ORGANIC" COMPOUND IN KEEPING WITH ITS "GREEN" PHILOSOPHY. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC IT IS MADE FROM EITHER A PEANUT OIL OR SIMILAR INGREDIENT THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. HE ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE WIRING COVERING CAUSES ISSUES ON MANY OF THE TOYOTA'S DUE TO RODENTS EATING THE WIRING AND IS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ANY ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THIS WILL COST $1900 TO REPAIR MY BRAND NEW CAR.

THE CAR COMPUTER REFUSES TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR TO CROSS BUSY INTERSECTION OR FROM STOP LIGHT, THE EXHIBITED 3-5 SECONDS OF DELAY, IT REFUSE TO PICKUP SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT! TOYOTA MUST RECALL THE CARS BACK AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIED AGAIN ON THE ROAD!!!

DRIVER WAS SLOWING DOWN, COASTING BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE TO TURNED LEFT INTO DRIVEWAY. DRIVER APPLIED BRAKE AND CAR ACCELERATED VERY STRONG BUT BRIEF; DRIVER THEN APPLIED BRAKE VERY FIRMLY, AND CAR STOPPED; BUT BY THIS TIME, CAR MISSED DRIVEWAY ENTRY, AND HAD TO BACK UP TO RESTART ENTRY. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITH 2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS. OTHER 2 OCCURRENCES WERE LESS STRONG, SUB-SECOND ACCELERATION "BLIPS" TOYOTA CASE #TA151210472.

I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO VERIFY THAT THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND HEARD SOMETHING HUMMING IN THE GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING THE SOUND IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT MADE SENSE TO ME WAS THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING. I PROCEEDED TO GET THE KEYS AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO ON WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR AND THEN BACK TO OFF. THE HUMMING STOPPED. I DID REMEMBER HEARING A SECOND HUMMING SOUND START AND STOP WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE NORMAL FUEL PUMP CYCLING FOR AN ENGINE START SEQUENCE. I AM WONDERING IF WHAT I ORIGINALLY HEARD MAY HAVE BEEN A RELIEF VALVE SLOWLY BLEEDING OFF PRESSURE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELIEF VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT FOR...

2/05/2015 AT WORK CAR DID NOT START ONLY CLICKING NOISE AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS IT STARTER LIKE IF HAD A LOW BATTERY 2/062015 5:30 AM CAR DID NOT START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, LEFT FOR 9HRS AFTER 6 ATTEMPTS STARTER CLICKING AND WAS ABLE TO TURN ON, 2/07/2015 8:00 AM IT DID NOT START, LEFT IT FOR 6HRS AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS IT STARTED TOOK TO THE DEALER AND IT STARTED EVERY TIME NOW IT SEEMS TO START BUT IT HESITATES LIKE IF IT HAD A LOW BATTERY, MORE SO IN THE MORNING WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, IT SEEMS TO START RIGHT AWAY AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A MILDEW ODOR CAUSING HIM TO BECOME NAUSEOUS WHEN DRIVING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REFRESHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

ON DEC. 1, MY RADIO/IPOD SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO FROM AM TO FM TO MY IPOD. TOYOTA REPLACED THE RADIO UNIT WITH A REBUILT UNIT. ON DEC. 31, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED. THE DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLACK; THUS IN ADDITION TO NOT HAVING ANY SOUND SYSTEM, THE BACK UP CAMERA CANNOT DISPLAY WHAT IS BEHIND ME. *TR

DRIVING ON I-70 EAST OF FREDERICK, MD UP LONG HILL WHEN CAR LOST POWER. SPEED DROPPED FROM 75 TO 50 MPH. I WAS IN CENTER LANE AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. NARROWLY AVOIDED MULTI-CAR PILEUP WHILE TRYING TO WORK MY WAY TO SHOULDER. NOTHING ON DASHBOARD INDICATED PROBLEM. NO UNUSUAL ODORS OR SOUNDS. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN I RETURNED TO FLORIDA 3 DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES APPEARED ON THEIR EQUIPMENT AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HILLS IN THE AREA. TOOK CAR TO A SECOND DEALER AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. DEALER RECOMMENDS 6 CYLINDER CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN NOTHING BUT 4 CYLINDER CARS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN THEM FROM COAST TO COAST INCLUDING COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA...
