Apparently in this vehicle when the oxygen sensors fail they also cause a fault in the vehicle's traction and stability control which disables the system. We have repeatedly replaced the oxygen sensors only in an effort to restore the traction control systems for the sake of safety. There is little sense in tying safety systems to emissions control systems and the repair shop says this is a common problem. It is unfair to have to pay $600 to replace oxygen sensors in order to restore a safety system...and the oxygen sensors fail repeatedly.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximate speeds of 70 mph, the vehicle started swaying from left to right without warrant. The dealer advised there were no failure found within the vehicle but did advise that one of the tires were defective. The contact had all four tires replaced on the vehicle and an alignment yet the failure persisted. The contact believed the failure to be caused by a defect in the electronic stability control (ESC). The failure and current mileages were approximately 55,000.

We purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry in 2005. The first day I drove it the car hesitated on acceleration to change lanes it was lucky that it didn't cause a wreck. I took the car back to the dealership (I don't remember why) but I asked them to check it and the guy I talked to just said it was because of the fuel injection. The guy didn't offer to check it, he just made that statement. The hesitation happens any time and it always feels like someone is going to rear end us while the car is deciding what it wants to do. On the freeways in California people go 70 miles an hour that makes it a hazard to drive a Toyota on the freeway. The Toyota also has a mind of its own, sometimes when I have my foot on the brake preparing to stop the engine seems to be trying to override the brake to keep going. It feels like the car is trying to increase the speed when I am trying to slow down. I have been concerned about it but I just figured Toyota was not going to do anything about it. Now my husband does not want me to drive the Toyota.

Heard a thumping noise in the drive shaft of the steering wheel. It would not go away, took the car to the Toyota dealer to look at. My car has always been serviced by a Toyota dealer there is a part in the drive shaft that links to the control arm of the wheels, this part has failed and could have caused me to loose control of the steering wheel and disabled my ability to turn my wheels, and cause a deadly accident, Toyota motor Corp, has failed to notify there customers of this tsb bulletin, and this is a safety hazard. I cannot believe that this is not a recall item. I spoke with the dealer and they have had over 100 and 1000's of 2005 Camry's with this problem. Yet nothing has been done. Does someone need to be killed or Toyota sued to have this part replaced. The part in the drive shaft failed, there is a tsb on this, but Toyota refused to fix this due to that my car has over 36K miles on it, and under 50K, not one person at the Toyota dealership would fix this for me, without charging me, yet this part has been put on a tsb bulletin. The dealership nor Toyota did not inform me of this situation. This should be a recalled item. I have my car service at Toyota dealerships and I am the original owner, yet the lack of Toyota to due something about this, is irresponsible. This was the first time I took my car to priority Toyota, because the service being provided by the other Toyota dealerships in the area was Subaru. I do not blame priority Toyota for not fixing the problem, in fact they were the very first dealership to identify the problem. The other Toyota dealerships in the area failed to address this issue, even though I took my car to these other dealerships for service. First team Toyota was the main dealer that serviced my car when there was less than 36K miles on it. I use to bring it to them and have them check everything, and the only tsb they told me about was the belt pulley, tsb, when I asked if there were any others, they said that was it.
