Visibility, windshield wiper/washer, switch/wiringOct 17, 2013
Toyota Motor Engineering & manufacturing North America, Inc. (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Camry and Camry HV, model year 2013 Avalon and Avalon HV and model year 2014 Corolla vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper switch assembly may short circuit. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, No. 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."
A short circuit could cause inoperative windshield wipers, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper switch assembly, free of charge. The recall began on November 8, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. 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. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

I BOUGHT A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY FROM GERMAIN TOYOTA, COLUMBUS OHIO LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO ON 10/26/2013, THIS WAS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH 160 POINT INSPECTION AND 3 YEAR/36,000 AND 7 YEAR/100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WAS HARDLY 6 MONTHS OLD WITH ONLY 8,274 MILES ON IT WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION. IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS BACK IN DAYTON SOME MAJOR PROBLEM APPEARED WHILE DRIVING, FIRST THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING SOME SMALL NOISE BUT NO WARNING INDICATOR CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD, LATER ON AFTER ABOUT A MILE IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE I SLOWED DOWN FOR A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE I-75 HIGHWAY EXIT. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND CROSSING BY AND IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CONSIDERING IT SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AS I SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD, AND CONSIDERING THIS IS A CURRENT YEAR 2013 CAMRY MODEL WITH TOYOTA CERTIFIED AND VERY LOW MILEAGE THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSATISFACTORY AND PUT ME AND MY WIFE AT DANGER. I'LL ALSO TRY TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SEPARATELY, I'M ALSO NOT SURE IF TOYOTA OR THE DEALER HAD ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT OR WERE JUST CARELESS CONSIDERING THEY DID A 160 POINT INSPECTION AND SOLD THIS AS A TOYOTA CERTIFIED USED CAR. CONSIDERING I BOUGHT THIS LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, I'LL TRY TO RETURN THIS TO THE DEALER AND IF THERE IS ANY HASSLE I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER IN THE COURT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF NHTSA WOULD LIKE TO TEST OR LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. *TR

EACH TIME WE OPEN THE TRUNK TO THE CAMRY HYBRID, IT WANTS TO COME DOWN ON YOUR HEAD. IT'S A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO OPENS IT. WE NOW REGRET BUYING OUR FIRST TOYOTA. NO TELLING WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO GO WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE THOUGHT THAT TOYOTA HAD FINALLY FIXED ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES, HOWEVER; IT LOOKS LIKE NEW ONES KEEP POPPING UP. WE REALLY LIKE THE LOOK AND MPG OF THE CAMRY BUT, NOW WE JUST WANT TO GET RID OF IT. *TR

TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY UP, IF VEHICLE IS ON THE SLIGHTEST UPGRADE WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK IT COMES BACK DOWN AND HITS YOU IN THE HEAD. I HAVE BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW AND MY WIFE WAS HIT SO HARD WE TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS TO HAVE HER CHECKED FOR A CONCUSSION. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER ADJUST THE TRUNK LID BUT IT STILL COMES DOWN ON YOU WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. WHEN YOUR BENT OVER TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE TRUNK OR GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT YOU DO SEE IT COMING, AND IT HURTS. *TR
Power train, Service brakes, Oct 15, 2013
AFTER MAKING A TURN ONTO A ROAD, BEFORE ENTERING A PARKING LOT, MY BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON. IT'S A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 3500 MILES ON IT - THE BRAKES SHOULD BE FINE. I TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, PARK THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I CHECK THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, NOW I CANNOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. IT IS STUCK IN PARK. I STEP ON THE BRAKE, I TURN THE WHEEL AND THE WHEEL TURNS FINE. THE GEAR IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SEND OUT A TOW TRUCK. I TRY MY CAR ONE MORE TIME AND IT IS STILL STUCK IN PARK. THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK TRIES, HE PUTS HIS HAND ON THE HANDLE AND BEHOLD, IT SHIFTS OUT OF PARK AND CAN GO INTO R, N AND D. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS 'ODD' OCCURRENCE. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ON I80 IN PA OUR ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WARNING LIGHT FLASHED AND BUZZER SOUNDED. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE OVER A LANE AND THEN OFF ROAD. WE WERE LUCKY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF POWER SWITCH, WE WERE ABLE TO START AND ACCELERATE NORMALLY. WE NOTICED THAT OUR HYBRID 3013 CAMRY WAS THEN NO LONGER IN ECO MODE. WE THEN FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED. REACHING INTO THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT, I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE EV BUTTON WHICH TURNED OFF THE GAS ENGINE. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH ALONE TO KEEP UP A SAFE SPEED. WE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND LUCKILY WERE ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SWAYS MOSTLY TOWARDS THE LEFT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, GETTING USED TO THE NEW CAR. NOW I NOTICE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I AM CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN CENTERED IN MY LANE OF TRAVEL. *TR

I EXPERIENCED AN SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CONDITION ON MY 2013 CAMRY SE ON 08/20/2013. THE CAR HIT A BIG TREE AND WAS NOT REPAIRABLE, TOTAL-ED. THANKS TO THE AIR-BAGS, I ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF BRUISES HERE AND THERE. *TR

AFTER HEAVY RAIN & WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, EXTERIOR WINDSHIELD & EXTERIOR PASSENGER & DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOWS COLLECT EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION WHICH INHIBITS VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. WIPERS MUST BE CONSTANTLY ON & SIDE WINDOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. FRONT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT WIPE CLEAR, AS SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A HAZE IS SEEN ON WINDSHIELD REQUIRING WIPERS TO HAVE TO BE OPERATED ON HIGH. *TR

BRAND NEW 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY LE HYBRID. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT KEEPS ON WANDERING AND AT TIMES IT FEEL LIKE IT WILL RUN INTO OTHER CARS. THIS WASN'T REALLY CONCERNING UNTIL TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY 76 TOWARDS HEADING TOWARDS NORTH EAST PHILLY, THE CAR DECIDED TO STEER TO THE RIGHT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. I TRIED MOVING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT BUT IT WOULDN'T I WAS LUCKY TO PULL OVER AND CHECK FOR TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. THE TIRES APPEARED FINE AND INFLATED AT 35 PSI SO I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT KEPT WANDERING FOR A LITTLE WHILE. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. *TR

I T-BONED A CAR AT 50MPH, GOT REAR-ENDED AND SPUN AROUND 3 TIMES AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL AND THEN PRECEDED TO BOUNCE OFF THAT. NO BRAKES APPLIED, NO TIME TO APPLY. NOT ONE, OUT OF 10 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NOT A ONE! THE CAR IS TOTALED , ALL SIDES HAVE DAMAGE. EVEN THE POLICE THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I BOUGHT IT FOR SAFETY AND IT FAILED ME. BIG TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS WITHOUT AMBIENT LIGHTING, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE A SHORT DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,500. UPDATED 7/31/13 *CN WHEN ON AN UN-LIT ROAD, USING THE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS, THE TOP HALF TO TWO THIRDS OF THE WINDSHIELD WAS ENTIRELY BLACKED OUT, AN EFFECT SIMILAR TO THAT OF A BLACK CURTAIN DESCENDING OVER THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MADE IT ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING AHEAD EXCEPT THE IMMEDIATE FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. CURVES ON THE RODS, ANIMALS, PEDESTRIANS, ETC WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WITH ENOUGH TIME TO REACT. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS SLIGHTLY UPWARD TO THE LIMIT OF NC LAW, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (GREATER THAN 50 MPH) IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT IN MY LANE. IT'S VERY TIRING DUE TO THE NEED TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE RANDOM SIDE TO SIDE DRIFTING AND ALSO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WITH WIND, TURBULENCE WHEN BEHIND A LARGE TRUCK, AND ON WET ROADS. *TR

Electrical system, May 28, 2013
THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, WHICH IS ALL ELECTRONIC IN THESE NEW MODELS, IS RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONING, AND GIVES IMPROPER VOICE COMMANDS THAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO MAKE SUDDEN AND UNSAFE TURNS. IT ONCE TOLD ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 405 FREEWAY: "TURN LEFT NOW". IT STOPS NAVIGATING ON ON ITS OWN WHEN YOU HAVEN'T REACHED YOUR DESTINATION. IT TELLS YOU TO TURN IN 300 YARDS, YET THE TURN IS ACTUALLY MORE LIKE 30 YARDS. WHILE PARKED AT MY HOME ADDRESS, THE NAVIGATION DISPLAYS AN ADDRESS 4 TO 5 HOUSES AWAY, (IT'S ABOUT 80 YARDS AWAY). THE SYSTEM JUMPED FROM BEING ON THE SOUTHBOUND 405 FREEWAY TO THE STREET AND SAID: "ROUTE RECALCULATION". THESE MALFUNCTIONS ARE RANDOM. MY WIFE AND I HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED VIDEO TAPING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN ACTION TO SHOW THE MALFUNCTIONS. WE HAVE ACTUAL VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE TOYOTA REPAIR THE UNIT, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOFTWARE UPDATE. NOW, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED". THIS IS ALSO NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT IS DISTRACTING, MISLEADING AND IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO MAINTAIN ROAD AWARENESS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE THE NAVIGATION IS IN USE. *TR

WE LEASED A 2013 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE ON FRIDAY MARCH 29TH, 2013 AT 9:00 PM. FROM MANHATTAN BEACH TOYOTA IN MANHATTAN BEACH CALIFORNIA. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SATURDAY MARCH 30TH, 2013 WHILE DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 99 NEAR BAKERSFIELD AT 65 MILES PER HOUR TO LINDSAY CALIFORNIA FROM INGLEWOOD CALIFORNIA, I HEARD A "DING" SOUND AND I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN UP. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY AND KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. I THEN NOTICED ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS HAD TURNED ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. MY WIFE AND I WERE VERY TERRIFIED AS WE IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THAT POOR FAMILY THAT LOST THEIR LIVES DURING A TOYOTA MALFUNCTION. AS I TRIED TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR, LOOKING FOR AN EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I REALIZED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE THE CAR TO BILL WRIGHT TOYOTA NEARBY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR THAT DAY AND I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE. THE CAR WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR 6 DAYS AS I WAS TOLD THAT A TOYOTA ENGINEER NEEDED TO GO TO BAKERSFIELD AND FIX THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. *TR

VEHICLE IS OK AT APPROXIMATELY <50MPH BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT REQUIRES 100% CONCENTRATION TO NOT VEER OUT OF THE DRIVING LANE. IT WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD ON ITS OWN. IT BEHAVES LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN A SEVERE CROSS WIND THOUGH THERE IS NO WIND PRESENT. MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND I HAVE FORBIDDEN MY FAMILY FROM DRIVING IT AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING IT. *TR

HEADREST ON 2013 CAMRY HURTS THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR. IF IT HURTS IN NORMAL DRIVING I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE HEAD INJURY IS GOING TO BE LIKE IF I GET HIT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THE HEAD RESTS SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE SO THAT THEY CAN BE FITTED TO SHORTER PEOPLE. NO AMOUNT OF UP DOWN ADJUSTING ON THE HEAD REST HEIGHT WORKS TO RELIEVE THE ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS NEW CAMRY AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT, IT SEEMS FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN YOU GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR FREEWAY SPEEDS THE CAR ALWAYS SEEMS TO WONDER FROM SIDE TO SIDE. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO MAKE CORRECTIONS WITH THE WHEEL. IF YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND YOU CAN VERY EASILY WIND UP IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF A TWO WAY HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE JUST ME, SO I HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE IT AND THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. THE STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. BESIDES THIS ONE PROBLEM, I REALY LIKE THIS CAR. *TR

THE STANDARD NAVIGATION SYSTEM HAS A DESIGN FLAW. THE TIP OF THE ARROW SHOWS YOU AT ABOUT 150 TO 200 FEET FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD THEN YOU ACTUALLY ARE. THIS RESULTS IN A TURN ALERT SOUND THAT TYPICALLY GOES OFF WHEN YOU ARE IN THE INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN A SHARP TURN. DO TO THE LATE SOUND/ALERT I, OVER THE PAST YEAR, HAVE HAD BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED 3 TIMES. NORMAL DESIGNS SHOW YOU WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE AND THE ALARM SOUND TO MAKE A TURN USUALLY IS ABOUT 100 FEET BEFORE THE TURN. *TR
