2016 TOYOTA CAMRY Structurebody Problems

Roof and sunroof structures began making continuous loud "popping" noises, very startling and distracting to driver and passengers. Toyota is aware of the problem, it involves the structure of the sunroof mating to the structure of the vehicle roof. This defect has existed since at least the 2007 model year, and Toyota published official guides for Toyota dealer repair procedures. Toyota refused the procedure due to my vehicle being out of its 3 year/36,000 mile warranty, instead quoting around $1600 for the repair. The popping noises are very loud, similar to a rock hitting the windshield. This startles the driver and causes the driver to jump and lose focus. This is a very well-known defect and Toyota is hiding behind the fact that it usually begins after the warranty period is expired. Toyota should cover its repair.

After driving in highway about 1 hour, The driver side door HALF OPENED BY ITSELF. Car has ~60K miles, this incident is happening for the first time. Before driving door was closed as usual. The car speed was ~ 77 mph during the incident, It was windy day, road quality was ideal.

THE BLIZZARD PEARL PAINT IS PEELING AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND ALONG THE SIDES OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD.

TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF. THEN, TRUNK LATCH DOES NOT CLOSE ANYMORE. *TR

THERE IS RUST IN MY VEHICLES BODY AND THE CHASSIS IS BENT OUT OF SHAPE IN THE FRONT. I DIDNT REALIZE UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE BODY SHOP. ALSO THE AC SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT I SPENT OVER $3000 TRYING TO FIX IT AT THE DEALERSHIP.

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 CAMRY HYBRID XLE IN OCTOBER 2016, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE BETWEEN AXLES, IT PRODUCES A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE MOON ROOF AREA WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA BUILT MANY DEFECTIVE VEHICLES WITH POOR SUNROOF FRAME INSTALLATION, AND THE CUSTOMER IS HAVING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DRIVE A NEW SHITTY CAR THAT MAKES NOISES ALL THE TIME. IT IS RATHER UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF, AND THE NHTSA SHOULD MAKE TOYOTA RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES TO TEACH THE MANUFACTURER A LESSON. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER, AND SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THERE IS A REPAIR PROCEDURE INCLUDED IN TSB 0151-13 HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS THIS...

THE ORIGINAL EXTERIOR PAINT IS PEELING OFF ON MY VEHICLE. SMALL RUSTY SPOTS CAN BE SEEN ON THE BODY OF MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN A CAR COLLISION, HIT FROM BEHIND AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY TO HEAD AS WELL AS MY BACK. CAR COLLISION WAS AUGUST 3, 2019 IN SACRAMENTO. THE VEHICLE WAS IN STATIONARY POSITION WAITING AT A LIGHT. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT, INSURANCE CLAIM FORMS AND ALL OTHER APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED MY CAR TO BECOME A TOTAL LOSE. *DT *DT *DT*JB *TR

MICE, JUMPING OUT OF EVERYWHERE WHILE I'M DRIVING!!! MY INSURANCE PAID OUT OVER $4000.00 AND I PAID $500 DEDUCTIBLE PLUS $300 TO HAVE METAL SCREENS PUT IN. I HAD TO REPLACE HEATER CORE, AIR CONDITIONING CORE, HEATER FAN, DUCT WORK, WHERE THE MICE HAD BUILT A NEST. WHEN THE HEATER FAN CAME ON IT WAS LIKE PUTTING THE MICE THROUGH A BLENDER. MOUSE PART EVERYWHERE!! SOY USED IN WIRING IS TO BLAME. SHAME ON THE US GOVERNMENT AND TOYOTA FOR DUMPING THIS CAR ON A UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC. YOU BUY A BRAND NEW CAR THEN FIND OUT YOU BOUGHT A BUFFET FOR RODENTS! [XXX], MAINE USA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL AND DRAS II FAILURE FOR AS YET TO BE DETERMINED ADDITIONAL VINS MY FRIEND AND I WERE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEATS, BUCKLED UP, SITTING IN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON THE 5 FREEWAY HEADED NORTH. WE WERE REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AT A SLIGHT ANGLE TO OUR BUMPTER, BY A DRIVER WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL DECIMATION OF THEIR VEHICLE AND SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE WHICH MANIFESTED ITSELF AS REAR BUMPER AND REAR UNDER BODY DAMAGE, AS WELL AS CRUMPLING OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRAME AND QUARTERPANELS, TO OUR 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. BOTH THE DRIVER AND I WERE THROWN FORWARD, AND DESPITE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS I HIT MY HEAD AND KNEE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AREA DURING THE IMPACT. NO AIRBAGS INFLATED IN THE VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE DRIVER...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE IS 1-1/2 YEARS OLD. THE OUTSIDE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 50 DEGREES AND I HAD THE HEAT ON. NOT SURE IF THE INSIDE/OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES CAUSED THIS, OR IF THE BODY HAD SETTLED OR CHANGED IN SOME WAY TO CREATE PRESSURE ON THE GLASS.

AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE ENGINE WOULD REV CONSIDERABLY & THEN STOP. AS WE APPROACHED OUR DRIVEWAY, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, THEN STOPPED. WE GOT TO OUR GARAGE-ENTRY CONTROL BOX & THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD ON OUR PARKING DECK, GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, & WE HIT A BRICK WALL. WE THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE & IT LURCHED BACKWARDS SO WE STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF & CALLED THE POLICE. MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES (BLACK & BLUE, INJURED STERNUM, MARK ON HIS COLLARBONE FROM THE SEAT BELT NOT RESTRAINING HIM SUFFICIENTLY, DIFFICULTY BREATHING/STANDING/DRESSING/WALKING - GENERAL PAIN & SUFFERING) WHICH WEREN'T VISIBLE TO THE EMTS AT THE TIME & HE DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL ALTHOUGH HIS REGULAR DOCTOR ADVISED HIM TO SEE ANOTHER AT AN EMERGENCY CARE CENTER. I REFUSED HIM MOVING IT ELSEWHERE AS I DIDN'T WANT TO...

MY HUSBAND WAS HEADED TO WORK WHEN A 16 YEAR OLD DRIVER DID NOT MAKE A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND PRECEDED TO CROSS THE ROAD WINTER GARDEN - VINELAND RD AS MY HUSBAND COMING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD TRIED TO AVOID HITTING HER BUT COULD NOT, HITTING HER ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE OF HER CAR. THE IMPACT TO THE FRONT OF OUR CAR WHICH BROKE A ROD BENT IN THE TIRE SMASHED THE DRIVERS FRONT SIDE ALSO BENDING THE HOOD, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THAT IMPACT I AM WONDERING WHY DIDN'T THEY DEPLOY?

WHILE DRIVING WE HEAR CONSTATNT ROAD NOISE COMING INSIDE THE CAR FROM THE DAY 1 SINCE WE BOUGHT THE NEW CAR. I FOUND FROM ALL OTHERS THAT THEY ALL HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEM WE CANNOT HEAR RADIO OR ANY TALKING INSIDE THE CAR. SOMETHING IS MISSING IN THE FIREWALL OR UNDERNEATH INSULATION.
