Steering, electric power assist systemMar 13, 2015
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2015 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid, and 2014-2015 Rav4 vehicles. A component of the electric power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. Over time, this damage may result in failure of the electric power steering system.
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the serial number of the EPS ECU or steering column assembly. If the number is within the affected range, the EPS ECU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A LOUD 'CLACK' NOISE WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING IN REVERSE AND DRIVER APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKES PEDAL. TOYOTA DEALER STATED THAT THIS NOISE IS NORMAL. THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS EVERY DAY INDEPENDENTLY OF HOW MANY HOURS OR DAYS VEHICLE BEING PARKED. NOISE CAN BE REPRODUCED ON PRIVATE GARAGE, PUBLIC ROAD AND OR HIGHWAY. THAT DISGUSTING NOISE IS ALWAYS THERE. TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING ANY ACTION ABOUT THIS... MAYBE THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILL DUE TO DEFECTIVE BRAKE SYSTEM.

THE CAR HAS STALLED THREE TIMES, TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE LOSING POWER STEERING. TWICE ACCELERATING AT 5 AND 50 MPH AND ONCE IDLING AT 30 MPH. BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM ERRORS ON DASH.

Steering, May 12, 2018
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING: AT TIMES CAR WOULD PULL VERY HARD TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE PULL WAS SO STRONG THAT IT WOULD PULL YOU OFF OF THE ROAD IF YOU WEREN'T GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY. THE PROBLEM WOULD PERSIST UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED REACHED APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED 'TORQUE SENSOR FOR STEERING OUT OF WHACK NEEDS BOTH GEAR, COLUMN, AND ECM COMPUTER.' THE 2015 CAMRY HAS A RECALL ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BUT I AM TOLD MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

THE CAR CLOCK HAS BEEN RUNNING FAST (4-5 MINUTES AFTER SIX MONTHS) STARTING FROM THE DATE PURCHASED (MAY 2015). MORE CRITICALLY, THE CLOCK STARTED TO SUDDEN CHANGE THE TIME AFTER STARTING THE CAR ENGINE. THE CLOCK SUDDEN CHANGE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED THREE TIMES RECENTLY (FIRST ONE IN SEPTEMBER 2017, SECOND ONE IN JANUARY 2018, AND THIRD ONE IN APRIL 2018). ALTHOUGH IT REFLECTS ON CLOCK CHANGING BUT IT IS NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE EVEN MORE SERIOUS (LIKE ENGINE....). I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THE ISSUES IN JANUARY 2018 AND APRIL 2018. HOWEVER, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF ISSUES. PLEASE HELP US TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE UP THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. THANKS.
Power train, Apr 25, 2018
WHEN I ACCELERATE 40 MPH OR HIGHER, MY CAR GIVES ME A SUDDEN SHUDDER IN THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS LIKE RUNNING OVER A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD OR LIKE A RUMBLE BEFORE YOU REACH A TOLL BOOTH. AS QUICKLY AS IT APPEARS, IT IS GONE, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT APPEARS. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 95,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY AND I HAVE TAKEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND THEY ALL SAY THAT, TORQUE CONVERTER IS MAKING THAT SHUDDER WHICH IS RELATED TO TRANSMISSION AND MIGHT COST ME AROUND $2000 TO FIX. IF ANYONE FACE THE SAME ISSUE, PLEASE MAKE A REPORT SO THAT NHTSA CAN LOOK INTO IT.
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 24, 2018
THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS JULY 2017. I WAS IN THE CITY SLOWED DOWN AND GOT IN WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC TURN LEFT ONTO ANOTHER STREET THE CAR JUST STALLED AND SAT THERE. NO POWER AT ALL. I TRIED PRESSING THE GAS, NOTHING, AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS IT FINALLY MOVED ACROSS WITH MOMENTS TO SPARE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS COME TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T MOVE ACROSS TO TURN UNLESS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TRAFFIC. THIS LOSS OF POWER SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE WHERE I NOW GET THIS SAME PROBLEM WHEN JUST DRIVING DOWN A STREET. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, ALL THEY DID WAS TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.THE NEXT TIME I MADE AND APPOINTMENT TO GET IT SERVICED I ASKED THEM AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED ME AND DID NOTHING AT ALL. THERE IS A NOTATION THAT I WANTED IT CHECKED FOR THE LOSS OF POWER BUT NOTHING WAS NOTATED AS BEING DONE. THIS IS GETTING SO DANGEROUS, I HATE TO DRIVE IT. THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 22000 MILES.

Air bags, Apr 4, 2018
THE AIR BAG READINESS LIGHT ON YOUR VEHICLE ILLUMINATES WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE ON POSITION AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WHICH IS INTENDED INDICATE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THIS COULD BE AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THE DRIVER AND/OR FRONT PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. WE RECOMMEND YOU REFER TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ON THE AIR BAG READINESS LIGHT AND CONTACT QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE SYSTEM TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATION. (THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS PRINTED ON MY NYS INSPECTION CERTIFICATE). PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A POSSIBLE RECALL.

JUST GOT THE CAR WITH 30000 MILES ON IT. LIKE A WEEK AGO STARTED NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEARS TOO FAST. I'M GOING 30MPH AND IT'S IN 4TH GEAR! IT WASN'T DOING THIS WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE UP ON HIGHWAY IT TOOK 2 SECONDS FOR THE RPM TO KICK IN ALMOST GOT RAN OFF THE ROAD BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. FROM A STOPLIGHT IT WILL HESITATE FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS THEN TAKE OFF. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE A QUICK TURN DURING TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE FIX IT SO I CAN ENJOY MY NEW CAR.

FREQUENTLY, THE INDICATOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SAYS "OFF", EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. OCCASIONALLY IT SAYS "ON" WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN THE SEAT.

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. MY CAR STOPPED BUT WOULD CREEP UP UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES HARDER. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE IT THEY COULD NOT. THEY PULLED THE INFORMATION FROM THE COMPUTER TO FIND OUT MY BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED? THEY ARE UNSURE IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET (NHTSA) TO SEE IF ANY OTHER 2015 TOYOTAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SAID TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE YET THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM HAVING THE ISSUE TO DO A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! MY CAR HAS HAD ALL OF ITS REQUIRED MAINTENANCE.
Steering, Other or unspecified, Dec 26, 2017
WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AT REGULAR OR SLOW SPEED, THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT FLASHES ON FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS WHILE TURNING LEFT. MAINTENANCE TO THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERFORMED BY A TOYOTA DEALER.
Steering, Nov 16, 2017
THERE USED TO BE WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE LEAVING PARKING. THIS MONTH I NOTICED THE STEERING SOMETIMES FEELS LOOSE WHILE DRIVING EITHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. SOMETIMES IT VEERS LEFT, SOMETIMES VEERS RIGHT AND SOMETIMES NORMAL.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 4, 2017
VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK, CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND AND AS IT CUTS OFF SPLASHES GASOLINE. NOT ONLY IT IS DIFFICULT TO USE THE CAR, IT IS DANGEROUS. I NOTICED THE FLAP OR THE COVER TO GAS CAP AREA NOT SEALED WELL AND WHEN DRIVING SO MUCH DUST SUCKS IN AND ACCUMULATE ON AND AROUND THE GAS CAP AREA. EVERY TWO THREE MONTHS I KEPT CLEANING AND VACUUMING THE GAS CAP AREA. THE PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AND EVENTUALLY BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP THE TANK, CONSTANTLY CUTTING OFF AND SPLASHING GASOLINE.
Service brakes, Oct 20, 2017
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. THE DASHBOARD FLASHED WARNING LIGHTS "BRAKE" AND A 2ND WARNING OF "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM". I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CONSULTED THE MANUAL WHICH SAID STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT TOYOTA DEALER, WHICH I DID. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO LIPTON TOYOTA, SUNRISE, FL (IT WAS NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ON THE FREEWAY). BY THE TIME I REACHED THE DEALER THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY CALLED LATER AND INFORMED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. I ASKED THEM TO RECHECK AS I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG SINCE THE BRAKE DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. THEY KEPT THE CAR UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO RECHECK THE CAR, AND AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENED TWICE ONE AT 22K AND ANOTHER AT 24K MILES
