When driving the hesitating to accelerate and slow down. I took it to the dealership advantage Toyota I'm valley stream NY and the told me the engine mount is broken. I paid $890 to fixed and the problem never fix. I took on 03-12-21 and get on 0313-21. Call the dealership about six time to speak to the service manger and never return or answer the call. They told me he is buy.
When the vehicle goes on the highway or the city, it gets about 15.4 mpg instead of ~30mpg. I have used 87 octane gane from different station still yielding the same result. The autorepair shop has checked for everything that could affect gas mileage, but there is no problem, what is going on? I bought Toyota for reliability and fuel efficiency, not to behave like a truck.
Car was taken for business and damage to the clip of my front bumper and passenger bottom front air deflector and been needing repair for passenger side window from the time I bought the car.
The following problem is related to the malfunctioning of the navigation system and display controls in the radio console for the Toyota Camry 2012 SE and other similar vehicles manufactured by Toyota. The buttons on the console stopped working around 2 years ago thus disabeling access to navigation, bluetooth connectivity and other functions. Due to lack of on screen navigation I have been forced to resort to using a mobile which is distracting to a driver and may lead to accidents especially in unfamiliar areas and on multilane highway near exits. Also as connectivity to the phone via bluetooth has been disabled calls cannot be recieved using the buttons on the steering wheel. On researching more on this topic I have realized that there are multiple vehicle owners facing similar issues with the same part of the vehicle for various vehicles that Toyota produces. The solution provided by Toyota needs replacement of the faulty console which costs between $800 to $1000. Multiple videos and comments requesting a cheap solution for this issue can be seen on the internet. Some suggestions included replacement of a part called communication extension module manufactured by "harman automotive part number 86100-YY050". I have been fortunate enough only to have had a few close calls due to distractions but this may be a concern and toyoya should come up with a cheaper solution for this issue rather than simply saying " you will have to pay a $1000 fir replacing the entire console that too when all other functions are working"
Takata recall, my car has been shooting ice from the vents on the passenger side and sometimes the driver side. Also, when the green eco light comes on the car starts shaking. I've have several diagnostic test done on the car and there are no codes appearing. This typically happens when the vehicle is in motion and sometimes when I start the car if the ac was on before I briefly turn it off. As far as the shaking it only does it when the eco light comes on and then the light will flicker and turn off and immediately the car will stop vibrating.
Air-conditioning unit malfunctions causing water to drip inside the cabin under the front seats. As a result, the carpet under the front seats gets wet and moldy, creating a foul smell in the cabin and making it difficult to breathe normally. The fault in the air-conditioning system causes health problems. This is a known and long-standing defect and is mentioned on discussion websites, such as car.complaints.com. Toyota states that my car was recalled in 2013 for an air-conditioning problem and was repaired. As a consumer, it is difficult to know, whether this current issue is caused by the same mechanical defect that they repaired in 2013. But as it is now, it is not possible to drive this car because I fear for my long-term health.
While driving and running my vehicle ac, I began hearing a "liquid swishing" noise, often when turning or coming to a stop. Later, when parked, I noticed the mat/carpet under the drivers seat was wet. Upon further inspection a few days later, the mat was still soaked and there was standing water there, as well soaked carpet behind the passenger seat. From research, this appears to be a more common issue with the 2012 Camry if the ac comes loose or becomes clogged.
Takata recall the driver door is not locking or unlocking when button is pushed on the remote or any buttons in the car at any time. The only way to lock or unlock is to use the key in the door or to manually lock and unlock actual lock. It's not safe as the car sounds as if it's locking but the drivers door is not and gives the opportunity for someone to get in my car that is not to be in my car. Has been on and off since about January 2019 but stopped working 6/3/2019.
The audio system when connected to usb don't respond some times. Touch screen is soo cheap. In built gps responds very slowly.ex: While taking exit it says just before the exit comes. The screen some times flickers when we change to reverse when the reverse camera displays. Totally not satisfied with audio and gps system. It's even more costly. 90% costumes don't use the gps in the car for real due to bad maps and software.
I just purchased my 2012 Toyota Camry with 77,000 miles on the spedometer. About a week later after driving this vehicle. I notice the traction control light, ABS light, and brake light all came on at the same time. The lights will not go out until you turn off the vehicle. Sometimes when you start the vehicle, these lights come on and it will not allow you to take the vehicle out of park. This vehicle also feels like you about to hydroplane while driving around 25 mph, which feels unsafe. I've taken this vehicle bake to the dealer, and they stated that they needed to replace a brake assembly switch. I have done some research on this same vehicle, and found out that the brake assembly switch was change and they still had the same problem. The traction control, ABS light, and brake light only comes on when you apply the brakes at low speed.
Car hesitates and looses power while moving forward and while exiting and or starting up from an intersection. Rear cars and myself are in danger. This problem is from a dead stop as well as from slow speed while turning and leaving an intersection.this camery was purchased in 2015, and the dealership has refused to acknowledge this problem since first reported, which was in 2015. Over 300 Toyota customers have reported this problem over the past 5-7 years.
I was driving on a busy 3 lane road at about 35 mph and the car just cut off. No warning lights came up on the dashboard. I do not know what components of the car caused it to cut off. I put the car in park and tried to restart it but nothing happened. I put on the emergency lights, got out of the car and waved to oncoming traffic to alert them that the car was stopped in the middle of the road. I was almost killed, and worst yet, others could have been seriously killed or injured as well. A young man stopped and pushed the car out of traffic. After a few minutes I tried to start the car again. It started and I was able to get to work but needless to say my nerves are rattled. I have called the dealership to have it looked at.
