As i am checking my credit report i decided to look at the vehicle report an i see recalls that i never new anything about, two recalls. i recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now i hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as i stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as i have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but i was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, i had taken my vehicle to several toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see t find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. but it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as i was on the freeway i had to get off immediately.
I noticed a 3 inch burn mark on my passenger side seat. i thought my car had been vandalized. however, today when i got in the car i noticed another burn area next to the other one and there was an odor of something burning in the car. i concerned that it is the air bag sensor in the seat which is shorting out and could cause a fire. this was occurring when the vehicle was parked and off.
Seat cloth broke driver..vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away.. turn a.c. and knocking noise. clunking noise on suspension since i bought the car dealer never did anything. now in may this year i experience vibration when i accelerate around 40mph. crazy annoying issue. paid to much money. car looks new but a lot of issues. i don't even think airbags work. accident and didn't come out. crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.
Oil consumption. drive car a lot of shaking vibration. turn on ac an engine noise. when load is put. transmission rpm aroundv40mph to 45mph weird vibration and hesitation. this car engine and transmission not good
The new forward angle of the headrests force your head to be against the headrest at all times while driving. this makes it difficult to look side to side, forces your head forward so you are looking down rather than out the windshield and puts a strain on the back. it's very distracting which puts you at risk of an accident. *tr
Drivers seat started to go up and down when going over humps in road and body weight was transferred up. you could feel the threads from a bolt were rubbing on a metal part. within a week the travel had more than doubled and was happening while getting in and out. brought into dealer for safety concern and warranty (car only 2 1/2 yrs old) and they said they pushed and pulled and it snapped back into place. i was then advised there was a $58.50 charge for an "adjustment". the dealer would not release the car without payment so i signed off and paid to get the keys. i called toyota but they stated the dealer was independent and they could not make them reimburse me. toyota offered me a jacket or a duffel bag, which i refused. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 toyota camry. the contact stated that whenever striking the gear selector, the gear shifter would erroneously shift into neutral because the gear selector was not designed with a switch to engage. the failure recurred twice while driving at various speeds. in addition, the size and length of the front driver side head rest significantly obstructed the visibility of the driver. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the manufacturer was made aware of the problem. the failure mileage was 7,000.
