Trunk lid wont hold up. It easily collapses if car is parked on the slightest of incline or is hit with a slight breeze. The trunk has collapses on my head several times while unloading groceries. My concern is the trunk lid closing on a toddler. My other two Camry, year 2001 and 2003, do not have that problem. Those older Camry seem to have stronger torsion bars and/or hinges and/or holding mechanisms. Toyota dealership tells me they found nothing wrong with the trunk lid and its mechanism.

***sunroof*** constantly knocking. After taking it in the first time I was told the bolts were incorrectly bolted out of the plant. After picking up the vehicle I noticed the knocking was still there. Told that they needed someone from corporate office to assist. Installed chims and fixed. November 13th knocking noise back again. Again someone from corporate had to come in to assist, again chims installed and told it was fixed. I asked to speak with a manager to inquire if this was a safety issue and if I should be affraid that my sunroof would come lose and also to ask how many times must I return to have this issue looked at with the thought that is was actually fixed. Sales manager said they don't believe its a safety issue and that I should not worry about this repair being an issue in the future as they have a documented history of this problem and that I would not be responsible for paying for it in the future. It is now January of 2014 and the noise is back again. I have researched this problem on the internet and find that this is a common issue with Toyota sunroofs and that they are aware of the problem since 2008 but have yet to determine what the issue is. The installation of chims is only a band aid.

While driving uphill on I80 in pa our engine suddenly lost power. Warning light flashed and buzzer sounded. We were able to move over a lane and then off road. We were lucky. After shutting off power switch, we were able to start and accelerate normally. We noticed that our hybrid 3013 Camry was then no longer in eco mode. We then figured out what happened. Reaching into the storage compartment, I accidentally touched the ev button which turned off the gas engine. The electric motor was not strong enough alone to keep up a safe speed. We suddenly decelerated and luckily were able to avoid a serious accident.
