While driving under normal driving conditions the paint on the lower plastic bumper has been hit with road debris and is causing small chipping in the paint. it seems the paint on the plastic parts is very susceptible to chipping. no chipping has occurred on the metal hood or body. *js

The wind buffeting that occurs in this car is unbearable. this causes an unsupportable pressure that you feel in your ears and head. speaking while one of the rear windows is open is also impossible because our voices will echo. *tr

This is a rental vehicle provided by lia toyota northampton, ma. i had been shopping and opened and close the trunk lid several times. when i returned home i parked in my driveway which has an upward slant to it. i opened the trunk lid and removed three bags of groceries from the trunk before the trunk lid closed on its own accord striking me in the face just above my nose with enough force to cause facial bleeding and a prolonged headache. a slight difference in where i was standing could have resulted in my passing out or more damage to my person. it appears that the pneumatics do not have enough strength to hold up the trunk lid on other than a flat surface. a child could lose fingers or a limb if the trunk lid closed in this manner on them. *kb

A short time after i took delivery of the car and i parked it on my driveway which has a small climb to the garage. the car was parked with the rear end lower than the front. when i opened the trunk to unload it and released the trunk lid it came down and hit me in the head. it happens every time when the trunk is opened under the same conditions and sometimes when the car is level. obviously the trunk lid needs a tighter spring. *tr

I have been experiencing a knock/tap/clunk sound coming from the roof in my 2012 toyota camry se, i have reported this issue to toyota and the car has been at the dealership over 4 times to try to resolve the issue, the noise gets louder as time passes, it seams this is a structural problem and are not informing the customers as thousands of cars are being sold, with no tsb issued, taking off the headliner multiple times has created additional noises. *tr

on jan 31, 2012 after the lunch break, i was parking my car per usual in my office parking lot which i purchased on dec 27, 2011(1 month, 4 days old). i completely slowed down and applying brake and releasing to park the car in the right way. the car came to a stand still a little behind (by feet) from the lot. so, i thought of moving the car little bit forward to park correctly. when i stepped on acceleration with very minimal impact, the car suddenly accelerated (unintended) and hit the mobile trailer which is in front. there was damage to the car which costs $3000 to replace front hood, bumper, fix the front door which was damage. this incident also depreciated the value of my car, increased by insurance premiums which i am paying for till date. i had to pay $1000 out of my pocket. due to the sudden unintended acceleration of the vehicle, i had to go through a very tough time.it all happened within a second and horrifying. till today, i couldn't understand how this incident happened because i am very cautious in driving at all times. i have had driving experience for 3 years before this incident without any incident. if you need more information about this incident, you can contact me on my email, cell phone. *tr
