THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM HAS FAILED 3 TIMES IN SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 23 2015. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND IS ABOUT TO GO INTO REPAIR FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS THE LAST TIME AND THE ISSUE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WHEN THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM FAILS IT STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM STOPS WORKING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH 1074 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS, AND NEEDS FURTHER SUPPORT DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA USA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I'VE INCLUDED 3 PHOTOS OF THE ERROR MESSAGE THAT APPEARS ON THE MESSAGE CONSOLE.

THREE WEEKS AGO I PURCHASED A CAMRY XSE. AND, LAST THURSDAY I READ IN THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT IT MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. ISN'T THAT A SCAM? THE DEALERSHIP EVEN SAID THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. I WAS ALREADY UNHAPPY BECAUSE IN ORDER TO GET "CRASH WARNING, BLIND SIDE FEATURES" I HAD TO TAKE THE MOST EXPENSIVE MODEL. ISN'T THERE ANY PROTECTION FOR BUYERS? I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE WAITED FOR MONTHS TO HAVE THEIR CARS UPDATED AND NOW I MAY HAVE BEEN SOLD ONE THAT WAS SOLD KNOWINGLY DEFECTIVE. WHAT HELP OR ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BOUGHT CAR NEW 03/16. INVOLVED IN MVA 06/01/16 WHERE WE WERE T-BONED BY A F150 TRUCK AT 30 MPH. THE TRUCK PEELED THE BODY OF CAR OFF THE FRAME FROM WHERE THE PASSENGER DOOR HINGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. DAMAGING SENSORS THAT WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED SIDE AIRBAGS. THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, HINGES HAD TO BE REPLACED, TAIL LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS REPLACED, BOTH PASSENGER DOORS AND TIRES REPLACED. WHY DID THE SIDE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY? TOYOTA TOLD ME THAT SINCE I HAD THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FIXED, THEY ARE NOT TO BE BLAMED. MY CHILD WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT. EVEN AFTER ALL REPAIRS TO THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THERE IS A LOUD WIND TUNNEL NOISE GOING THROUGH THE CAR. *TR

6/6/17, 7PM, ON STARTING CAR; IN MALL PARKING LOT, BOTH THE BRAKE AND POWER STEERING ALERT WARNING LIGHTS/MSGS TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. TURNED ENGINE OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES; ALERTS STILL ON. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND VERIFIED PARKING BRAKE DISENGAGED. DROVE HOME, AND GARAGED CAR. STARTED/STOPPED ENGINE MANY TIMES, TILL LATE AT NIGHT, BUT ALERTS STAYED LIT. I FLIPPED THROUGH ALL THE ALERT MESSAGES, WHICH SHOWED 2 ALERTS, 1)BRAKE ALERT AND 2)POWER STEERING ALERT. BOTH ALERTS WERE PRESENT NEXT MORNING. PER OWNER BOOKLET, DEALER WANTED CAR TOWED IN. PREPARED FOR FRONT WHEEL TOW, BY DRIVING FROM GARAGE TO STREET BY TURNING CAR TO FACE STREET AND DRIVING BACK TO DRIVEWAY. AFTER PARKING CAR, BOTH THE ALERT LIGHTS TURNED OFF. MENTIONED THIS TO DEALER. ASKED IF I STILL WANTED TO BRING CAR IN, I SAID YES, I WANTED IT INVESTIGATED. 6/8/17 DEALER RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AND FOUND HISTORY CODE C1441. REPORTED AS "ABS PERFORMANCE DECLINE AND BRAKE FUNCTION". THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY "BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED WHILE MOVE WITH ENGINE OFF, OR PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDALS, CONCURRENTLY'. I KNOW NEITHER OF THESE TWO HAPPENED. DEALER ROAD TESTED CAR, FOUND NO RECURRENCES OF THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED CAR. BACK HOME, FOUND THAT THE 2015 CAMRY ,WITH CODE C1441, HAD A RECALL OF THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER ASSEMBLY (TSB-0010-15). SINCE THE 2016 CAMRY IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR AS THE 2015 CAMRY, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT APPLY TO THE 2016 MODEL. ABS MALFUNCTION, WITH CODE C1441 IS STILL BEING TRIGGERED, ON THE 2016 CAMRY, WITH THE 2AR... ENGINE. FOR THE 2016 CAMRY, FOUND BRAKE RELATED PROBLEMS STILL BEING REPORTED, SOME WITH SEVERE ACCIDENTS, POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE ABS OR COMPUTER . SEE NHTSA ID 10991889, 10966112, 10934015, 10915061, 10903212, 10883921, AND 10873023 AS EXAMPLES. HOPE TOYOTA GETS A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY DEFECT, BEFORE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TOYOTA CAMRY VIN [XXX]. TOYOTA CASE #[XXX] POLICE INCIDENT:[XXX] THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT MY WIFE ENDED UP A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT DATED 9-7-2017. THE TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2016 CAR WHICH WAS ON LEASE FROM THE TOYOTA F OVER 20 MONTHS COMPLETELY TOTALED OUT. THE CAR WAS HIT ON THE NON DRIVER REAR SEAT BY THE OTHER CAR WHILE TURNING. THE IMPACT WAS OF AT LEAST 30-40 M/HR OF THE SPEED.ABOVE CAR SPINNED 180 DEGREE ENDED UP STOPPING DUE TO ROAD SIDE PAVEMENT IN THE OPPOSITE ROAD. THE IMPACTED SIDE WHEEL WAS BROKEN AND ROTATED OUT. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE BUT THE AIR BAGS MAINLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR SEAT DID NOT OPEN AT ALL. THE REMAINING OPEN BAG WAS FLOPPY. BEING A MEDICAL PHYSICIAN, THIS IS SURPRISING AND DISTURBING TO ME. AS THE MOST FATAL CAR INJURY OCCUR DUE TO THE DECELERATION INJURIES DUE TO STEERING WHEEL IMPACT THAT CAN LEAD MAJOR VESSEL LIKE AORTA / HEART RUPTURE. I SEE IT AS THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE CAR.IN THE BACK, BOTH BABY CAR SEATS WERE DAMAGED . FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE DROPPED MY CHILDREN 0.3 MILE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT SITE TO THE DAY CARE WHO IS A 4 MONTH OLD INFANT. I AM VERY SURE THAT IF ANY OF MY CHILDREN WOULD BE IN THE BACK SEAT, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.S. MY WIFE HAS A CHEST PAIN AND BACK PAIN DECELERATION INJURY CAUSING FRONT CHEST PAIN, HEAD CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES RELATED. I EXPECT SAFETY SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY WHEN COME TO HUMAN LIFE. WE WERE PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR AS WE SPEND LEASE MONEY IN TO IT. HOWEVER DUE TO THE ACCIDENT AND TOTAL LOSS OF CAR. IT HAS EFFECTED OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION TO BUY A NEW CAR. THIS IS EFFECTING OUR WORK AS WE ENDED UP IN URGENT SITUATION TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I HAVE READ THE NHTSA INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR BAGS AND OTHER DETAILED WHICH FURTHER CONFIRMS MY DOUBT. THANKS.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2016 CAMRY LE FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 02.21.2016. ON 02.29.2016, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEMS I WAS FACING WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, PRIMARILY: SLOW-DRAGGING ACCELERATION ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING INSTABILITY. WHILE DRIVING TO DROP MY WIFE TO WORK ON THE MORNING OF 02.28.2016 I BEGAN NOTICING INCONSISTENCIES IN MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION. AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT (EXITING MY SUBDIVISION) TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND IMMEDIATELY FELT HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION ALONG WITH STIFFNESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL, GIVING THE CAR A HEAVY/DRAGGING FEELING (EVEN AFTER ATTEMPTING TO APPLY EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL). AFTER DRIVING IN THIS SLUGGISH CONDITION FOR ABOUT A QUARTER-MILE, I FELT A BOOST IN MY CAR'S ACCELERATION, CAUSING A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED FORCING ME TO APPLY MY BRAKES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY CAR'S MOVEMENT. THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY I KEPT EXPERIENCING THIS FLUCTUATION IN ACCELERATION (BOOST/SLUGGISH) WITH NORMAL DRIVING FUNCTIONS RETURNING PERIODICALLY. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, "VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED"; WHEREAS, THE ABOVE MENTIONED COMPLAINT IS STILL ONGOING. MULTIPLE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO REACH A RESOLUTION THRU MANAGEMENT AND CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE DEALERSHIP THUS FAR HAVE FORCED ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR IN THIS CONDITION TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL PERSONAL/FAMILY REQUIREMENTS (AS THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE). THIS HAS BEEN CAUSING ME A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS AND MENTAL ANGUISH IN REGARDS TO MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN: "SAFETY". NOT ONLY DO I FEEL UNSAFE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, I ALSO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE RISKING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY/PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AROUND ME, AS THIS MECHANICAL DEFECT REMAINS PERSISTENT AND IS GRADUALLY WORSENING.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE IS ON AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED BY BRAKING MANEUVERS PERFORMED BY THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE WHEN A CAR TURNS INTO THE LANE AHEAD. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR MAY SLOW RAPIDLY 10-15MPH AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON. THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH AS A RESULT OF NO WARNING TO THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME. THIS WAS CONFIRMED TODAY BY TOYOTA WHO INVESTIGATED AND STATED (GEORGE) THE BRAKE LIGHTS ONLY COME ON IN THE EVENT OF AN IMMINENT CRASH (IN FRONT), DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS CREATE A PROBLEM FOR THE DRIVER BEHIND.

WHEN MY FIRST SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT ON JANUARY THIS YEAR, I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CAR CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT HEAR OF THE THING I TOLD THEM EVER HAPPENED ON CAMRY BEFORE AND AGREE TO TAKE A LOOK. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. BUT TWO WEEKS LATER, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WHEN I DRIVING THE CAR ON HIGHWAY I75. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED TOYOTA THOUGH THE NUMBER 800-331-4331, AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SIMILAR CASE REPORTED AND SUGGESTED ME TO CHECK MY CAR AT THE DEALER. I STOPPED BY THE DEALER AND THEY DROVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FAILED. THEY ALSO CHECK THE CAR THOROUGHLY AND FOUND NOTHING UNNORMAL. YESTERDAY(7/2/2017), I WENT THE DEALER FOR MY SECOND SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR MY CAR. BUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I75, THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE BACK TO THE DEALER REPORTING THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECK THE CAR AGAIN AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG AGAIN. ENCLOSED PLEASE FIND THE PICTURES I TOOK YESTERDAY WHEN I PULLED OVER MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE DASHBOARD WAS DEAD AND THE KEY WAS STILL AT THE ON POSITION.

While loading groceries in my trunk, the torsion bar sheared off and broke (the hook part). It fell hard on my shoulder (fortunately not my neck or head). I have never seen steel actually break rather than bend. I tried to fix it but could not. Trunk is heavy and unstable (falls easily), as is part of car in back. Went to Toyota dealer and found out no recall, and "iffy" fix. They wanted $488.50 to try and fix. My body shop estimated $164. and purchased correct Toyota parts, followed their instructions. The bars only held for a few minutes, then they failed to hold up the trunk again. I was almost injured again with this failure, but managed to catch it in time. They refunded me $100. since they said there was no more "play" to work with. Went on social media only to find that many Toyota Camry 2016 and 2015s had torsion bar failures, with no recall. Some said that they spent over $1000. trying to fix it, but never could, no matter what dealership or body shop repaired it. Others gave up and sold it. It is not something that I can "live with". the trunk is heavy to life and unstable. Have to hold it while trying to put things in trunk. I have had 6 Toyotas in my life and 3 cars with Auto Nation, but have never had the lack of integrity, follow-through and non-solutions that I have experienced with the purchase of this car. Unlike others, I can't afford to sell/replace my car at this time, and can't live with it as is. I truly love my car, but do not feel safe using it and am totally frustrated. All I want is for Toyota and/or its mfr.) to own up to the design flaw and either fix or replace it. Note: I have photos of broken part, failure, and estimates, but couldn't get them to download onto your form. (It just kept deleting the form and having me start over). Please advise if I can send another way.
