My complaint is about the unsafe power door lock mechanism used on the 2006 Toyota Camry xle (and countless other vehicles they produce) I am now on my fifth failure. Every single power door lock failed and now it's starting all over again! this is a major safety hazard! if you get into a bad wreck and the power doors fail to open it could be a matter of life and death. Every second counts! I'll be glad to give you access to the car and provide any further info you need.

My car has experienced two electrical problems within the past 2 years. I own a 2006 Toyota Camry. Bought in Sept 2005. Dec 2008 the battery died and my local garage traced it to the alarm- they disconnected the module. Aaa replaced the battery. Nov 15, -2010-, battery died again and the car was towed to my local station. They located another draw on battery but could not repair it and sent it to balise in warwick ri. I had purchased it there.after 2-3 days on their computer, they located it in the instrument cluster in the odometer. The car has no serious recalls on it and I note that though 2005, 2007-2010 have been recalled the 2006 has not. I wish to report this so it is on record in the event there is a recall. The car has 25,000 miles on it and the repair this time will cost about $1100. I have been without a car for 7 days as balise had to order the part last Friday Nov. 19th. It will arrive, hopefully, mon Nov 22nd.

I have a late 2006 Toyota Camry that has standard stereo option with cd and with volume and channel selection on the steering wheel. I have noticed at least two separate incidents the stereo turns on by itself. I typically do not listen to the music and keep the radio off.

After starting the car the drivers airbag light stays on. When the car is started again the light may not be on. This went on for 3 days. The Toyota dealership hooked up the car to read any codes that were there. After 3 days at the dealership the field rep states that a new seat and floor wiring has to be purchased. There is a short in the floor wiring. Total will cost $3450. The drivers seat has to be replaced along with the wiring. If not replaced the airbag will not go off.
