Tire Pressure Monitoring System - light flashes on-off and then remains illuminated. Toyota dealer wants $1,200 to replace all sensors. I do not have the ability to pay this. Dealer suggests that I just ignore or cover up. This system is a safety system as marketed by the manufacturer. I feel uncomfortable driving over mountainous routes without it. My tire dealer tells me that this is a constant problem with Toyota's.

Over the 10 years I have owned this car, it has failed to start about a dozen times. 1/2 the time I am at home and 1/2 the time I am away from home. Sometimes if you wait a few hours it will then start, often times it has to get towed to the dealer. Upon arrival at the dealership, it usually starts. The Toyota dealership has been unable to correctly diagnose the problem. As such, I spend money on repairs that do not actually fix it. The latest "diagnosis" is that the steering lock actuator motor needs to be replaced. Cost about $900. There is no guarantee that replacing this part will fix the problem. Calls to Toyota Corporation go unreturned. I call them, log a case, the case is closed without a response. Rinse and repeat. Has happened three times already. Clearly they do not care. This is a very serious problem. Below is just the latest incident that happened on 10/15/2024.

Shudder while driving and shifts hard.

- Newbern, TN, USA

Hello, I just bought this used Camry from its original owner on 6/10/24. There is a recall for the 2012-2014 Camrys for a transmission shudder that could occur while accelerating, especially under light loads between 25-50 mph. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ECM). The original owner did not have it fixed. Thus, the problem still exists. This is a safety hazard and I contacted Toyota North America who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota issued the recall themselves, Toyota dealers need to replace to the torque converter and update the ECM software. I am reaching out to the NHTSA because this is a safety hazard and I hope you are able to help me with this. Thank you.

transmission shudder when driving

- Visalia, CA, USA

I own a 2014 Toyota Camry there is a known issue with the 2012-2014 Toyota Camry models for the torque converters failing. In December of 2023 I noticed my vehicle not changing gears as smoothly as it normally does so I took my vehicle to my local Toyota dealership and was told that I needed by torque converter replaced and it would be $2800. Upon my research I found out that this is a known issue for this make and model and Toyota had a warranty enhancement program for this to be fixed but it ended in 2022. I was never informed of this program and if this is a known issues and they can verify that I haven't had this repaired before then my vehicle should be fixed at the expense of Toyota. I paid the $2800 because I was told not replacing it could cause transmission problems down the road. I called Toyota and sent them proof of ownership, proof of payment for the repair and they refuse to reimburse me in any way. Can someone please look into this for me?

The touch screen needed to pair a bluetooth device for hands free usage does not work. It is not responsive to touch in any way, preventing users from pairing devices. From the looks of online forums, this is a pervasive problem for this make/model. If handsfree use is required in my state, this malfunction should be covered by warranty / toyota recall. The entire device is inoperable.

The radio/navigation system in my vehicle malfunctioned during a self starting update. My screen now stays in reboot mode. The problem is, the screen stays at full brightness whenever the car is on at night I can-??t see very well to drive. The other night I was coming home with me and my kids in the car and i hit the ditch trying to turn because the screen was so bright it impaired my vision. The screen never goes off as long as the car is running and there is way to adjust the brightness.

Car has been vibrating anytime it goes above 40-45 mph. Mechanic recommended to change the cv axle which I did and I still have same problem. On highways it shakes so much that sometimes it feels like I may loose control of my steering wheel. There's a knocking sound while going on bumps and speed breakers. Check engine light came twice and it was reset by saying its false positive.

The touchscreen on the audio head unit does not function properly. I cannot pair a phone with the car's audio system because the on-screen buttons are unresponsive. This is a safety issue. I cannot use hands-free calling because I cannot pair a phone with the audio system. I started noticing issues with the touchscreen in 2018, but I was able to work around the issue. In 2020, however, I can no longer pair mobile devices to the audio system. Toyota is aware of this issue. It is widespread among several vehicle models from 2012-2014.

My vehicle-??s radio buttons/screen no longer function along with the buttons on my steering wheel. This creates a problem as I use the hand free option on many occasions. It-??s come to my attention I am not the only person this has happened to.

I was hung up upon by a representative of service advocacy illedgely at manufacturers headquarters when advocating problems with manufacturers representatives on phone and /or in person about vehicle and/or maintenance, warranty concerns from 11/30 to approximately 2.00pm, in general.terms by its staffabroad and here and future world wide. But not including more issues with vehicle and/or treatment of representatives of vehicle. The question response to answer under "note" is unknown. Total disatisfaction with manufacturer and worldwide dealerships. These and possibly more incidents happened prior to 11/31/20.

My 2014 Toyota Camry causes eye irritation and burning. Mostly likely this is due to a faulty HVAC system and/or compartment seals that could be channeling trace amounts of exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment. I have taken the car to the local Toyota dealer who says there is nothing wrong with the car. This happens every single time I drive the car. This does not happen when I drive my other car, I.e. my eyes aren't the problem. I am worried that I may be inhaling something toxic and am absolutely terrified about taking the car on long drives.

Drivers seat where the controls are located covering plastic broke and not able to snap back in place. Also notice this on my mothers 2015 Camry as well.

When I first accelerate from a stopped position & accelerate the vehicle lags and hesitates before it will move forward. I have almost gotten hit by another vehicle more than once because the car wouldn't move fast enough to cut across traffic. September 1, 2017 was the first date I drove the vehicle on the road but it happens to this date as I'm accelerating.
