12/18/2014 30,000 mi ODI #10667111.0

A popping, knocking, snapping noise is loud, evident, persistent, and discerning. The noise causes concern over the vehicle's structural integrity in an impact. The feeling is that the vehicle does not have enough rigidity to adequately protect passengers in a crash. It is a known issue with Toyota. Toyota updated technical service bulletin t-sb-0088-12 on 06/13/2012. It is titled moon roof assembly structure noise. Applicable to 2007 - 2011 camry and camry hybrids. In the introduction Toyota states: some 2007 -2011 north american produced camry and camry hv vehicles may exhibit a knocking, popping, ticking, or snapping noise form the moon roof area while driving. The service bulletin describes the dis-assembly and re-assembly of the moon roof structure and headliner. Torquing nuts and bol

12/16/2013 20,000 mi ODI #10556217.0

Strong, loud, persistent knocking sound coming from passenger side of roof when going over bumps or uneven pavement. This noise is the frame popping from two parts of the frame coming into contact, from what I was told by dealer. This was taken to the dealer previously and the tsb was found and work completed. It began making the noise again after a few days to a week after the service. I have scheduled to take it in again, but have hesitated due to the condition I received my car after service last time. The liner and body covers do not go back on right and the car did not look new any longer when I received it back. The problem was said to be caused by welding slag on the frame rubbing together, and bad welds on the car's body. This is not what someone wants to hear when purchasi

Airbag symbol was lit showing on my dash. I called Toyota service department, and they told me to bring my car in. After inspection, they told that a spring had broken, and that my airbag would not depoy in an accident. Cost to replace spring was over $500.00. I called Toyota to see if I could get some help with problem. Was told that they could not help me. My wife and I are living on a fix-income, and 500.00 is out of the question. I just saw a recall on a Toyota land cruiser, with what I think is the same problem with the airbag. We don't feel safe driving this car with faulty airbag. Part needed is a sprial 84306-06150 clock spring.

12/29/2015 75,000 mi ODI #10816890.0

During the first half of 2015 my driver's side sun visor would not stay all the way and was about 15% of the way down. While this was in my line-of-sight it really did not impede my vision or ability to drive. Mid-2015 the visor no longer was able to hold itself up and was fully down at all times completely impeded my ability to see the road as I am a taller driver. I had to remove it completely in order to drive the vehicle. There is an existing warranty but does not apply to my particular VIN. In fact there are only two 2011 camrys that would be covered under wmi code 4t4. I know I purchased one of the first 2011 camrys as I purchased in may of 2010 (well ahead of the normal release cycle) when Toyota went through their big (brake pedal / floor mat) recall. I only found out recentl

12/22/2010 ODI #10372178.0

I was driving into a parking area, idling forward so that I could back up and drop off my colleague at her house. I had my foot on the accelerator, barely idling forward, and all of a sudden the pedal was floored and the car was surging forward with a parked vehicle right in front of us. I jammed on the breaks, and immediately turned off the engine. Both the passenger and I were terrified. I went home, and will never drive that car again. I do not trust Toyota to fix it or own up to what is really going on. The accelerator floored itself, and then stuck there. I could easily have killed a pedestrian, my passenger or myself. *tr

I started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car.
