The engine and transmission there mess to!
Oil burning problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started to pull to the right. Every time a turn was attempted, a popping noise was heard. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
All four struts leaked on or prior to 60,000 miles and needed to be replaced. The only indication was fluid on the garage floor and the report of the car dealer.
I was slowly backing out of my driveway when I heard a loud bang come from underneath the car on the left front. As I drove the car to my mechanic I heard a clanging noise coming from the left front. My mechanic told me that the spring around the strut had broken. I had the spring strut replaced at a cost of $350. I am the original owner and the car has 64,000 miles with all work performed at the toyota dealership, except my last set of michelin tires.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator inadvertently illuminated and the horn inadvertently failed to function. In addition, when attempting to park and turning the steering wheel to the left, the vehicle veered to the right. Both rear tires made a loud noise, the engine shook violently without warning, and the water hose detached and caused water to leak out. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the shocks were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry. While driving approximately 25 MPH, there was a clinking noise underneath the front of the vehicle. The vehicle began to pull to the left. The contact coasted over to the side of the road and resumed driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front suspension struts spring detached. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.
My wife and I have a 2009 toyota camry that receives scheduled maintenance. We had 234,000 miles, mostly highway miles, when we heard a clanging sound under the hood on the passenger side. The dealership did an inspection and found that both front coil springs were broken. They both had sections broken off on the larger end. The dealership showed me both broken off coiled ends, one in each hand while I was in the waiting room during the inspection process. The shocks were still in excellent shape with no leaking. We did not have this coil spring problem with our first 1995 camry even though we drove it 465,000 miles! We would have hit 500,000 if the car had not been rear ended. Our concern is with our mileage we entered a potential recall zone for the 2009 coil springs that other 2009 camry drivers may encounter with lower or similar mileage.
