2010 Toyota Camry engine complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 58 of 58, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Would like to be put on record that there is a problem with the cam gear on this model. Vehicle was worked on once to repair cold start noise (aprox. 10 seconds). Fix lasted about a month and noise has returned. Sounds like no oil/lubrication is getting to cam gear area. Concerned that engine may become damaged because of this.
Sept.16, 2013,the car made a loud noise and I pulled the car over to the shoulder of the road turned the car off to inspect the vehicle, I found nothing wrong, I contacted a wrecker and the closest toyota dealership to have the car delivered for repairs. Sept. 17,I called them to find out what they found out about my car; I was informed by the service advisor that there is a hole in your block.I asked how could a car with only 56k mi. Throw a rod. He said they didn't know yet and would get back with me. Sept.19, I provided the dealership with all of my service records.they contacted toyota and called on sept. 20 they were going to remove the engine to look for the failure. They stated one of two things were the cause; the car was driven into a deep-water puddle allowing water intrusion into the engine or a component failure. I stated it wasn't even raining he day of the incident, his reply was then you have nothing to worry about. Sept.23 they called to inform me the engine was removed, photos were taken and sent to toyota for review. Toyota's stance was they were not going to replace the engine under warranty. Toyota claims that at sometime I allowed the oil level to get low, causing the engine to over heat and which lead to this failure. I stated that was utterly false, I routinely check the oil level in that car, it never requires top off oil in between oil changes. He apologized and said that is what toyota is saying. I researched and found toyota has experienced similar engine failures and they tend to push back honoring warranty claims. It is suspicious they did not remove the valve covers to check for probable causes in the head area since that has been the cause of these type engine failures. At this point, I have been advised to file this complaint with the federal safety agency; complaints with toyota customer relations andthe owner of the dealership have also been filed.
On 9/24/2013, I was at my way sister home come from work, about to drive off, when the car would not turn over it sound it was flood it so I let it sit for a while and it still will not start so I call the tow truck to come and get and take it to the shop to see what was wrong with it the engine check light came on that morning but it start up fine, but to my surprise it would not start again. Left it at the shop and they call me the next morning and said they check the senor as the computer code told them to but it wasn't the sensor. After further investigation they took apart the passenger side wheels to show me that the crankshaft fly wheel inside the engine was messed up and the sensor wasn't detecting it any more. I have 81000 miles on this 2010 toyota camry. After taking the wheel off, speaking to a mechanic who was working on my vehicle. Ask the mechanic if this was just a fluke deal or if the dealership had seen many broken crankshaft on toyota's. A few days later the service personnel told me he doesn't know how this could have happen. How many people who own toyota's have had to report a broken crankshaft? It sounds to me like toyota should know there is a problem with this part. Is this going to be another bit of information that gets kept from consumers? Toyota should be looking into this to see if there is an issue with the crankshaft used on their vehicles.
I am having issues with my camry bouncing, swaying, pulling left and right, the engine, transmission or axles shake. It feels like the brakes are pulsing or on at random times. I believe there are several issues with this car and toyota is not reporting the problems. I also believe the mechanics are falsifying documents which are affecting my safety and the safety of others. Brake issues are life threating and toyota assured me my car is safe. I have been at the dealership 5 times to have the issues fixed but the dealer first blamed the tires and balancing. I replaced the tires and the dealer blamed the loud snow tires. The dealer made an appointment with a service specialist. They blamed it on tire noises and said the see you in the spring when you change the tires and they specialist said you are still under warrantee. I changed the tires two days later and returned on monday. The dealer test drove the car and said nothing but they will be talking the toyota specialist. I heard nothing for a week and I had to call them on again on monday (today). The service managers said there is nothing wrong. I just received a class action lawsuit mailing over the weekend. I knew the dealer and toyota were hiding something. I also took the car to a second toyota dealer as the specialist recommend. The second dealer already knew about the issues before I got there. The service manager drove my car, not a mechanic test, and also blamed the snow tires. The specialist was also asking what toyota dealerships are closer to home for me. I also called toyota and opened two cases. I asked for transcripts of the classes and other information, they said that was for in-house use only and I could not have the info.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact was driving 40 MPH when the vehicle decelerated to a complete stop without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer advised the contact that it was normal for the vehicle to stall once all the oil had been burned. The manufacturer was contact and also advised the contact that the failure was normal based on the circumstances. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 43,000.
Air condition compressor failed. And not pumping. Need new or rebuild parts only 2 year old car had only 38,000 miles on it. Missed warranty by 2,000 miles.
Started car and tachometer showed aprox 3000 RPM then went to idle it lunged forward if I did mot have my foot on the brake it would have smashed into a guard rail.
Every time I turn on the heating system of my toyota camry, I get this foul sulfur smell coming from the vents. I took it to the dealer and they say they ran tests on it but since they can't reproduce the smell there's nothing to do. Thus far toyota has written it off to the sulfur levels in the fuel, yet I own a toyota corolla as well and have never had this experience. At the dealership they told me that the smell happens after the fuel is burned and passed through the catalyst converter, but I'm worried that separate systems -- the heating and the process of burning fuel -- cross together to bring that smell into the cabin of the car. I remember the previous big toyota recall and how they tried to brush the problem under the rug, but I hope this doesn't happen here. That is unless the federal safety agency is willing to let people inhale such noxious and possibly toxic fumes.

Purchased a new 2010 toyota camry. After ~ 300 miles the engine had a new noise on start up. It was diagnosed as a problem with the variable valve timing gear assembly. After picking up the car it has been draining oil and is now not drivable.
I called lowe toyota dealership prior to service date 3/6/2010 to report delay in gas pedal, that is when accelerator from a stop delay, the is a delay and when turning on A/C it takes almost 1min. Before pressure builds for cooling and I thought this was not normal for a new vehicle with only 40 miles. Also at service date 3/6/2010 damage to front spoiler was not addressed and warranty by dealership was denied.

2010 toyota camry experienced acceleration on freeway exit ramp at 7:30 am during rush hour. Put the car in neutral and the engine raced. Car was pulled over to the side with engine still racing. The ignition was turned off and it stopped running. Checked to see if there was an obstruction with a floor mat - there was none. After 30 seconds, started the car and it alternated between idle and engine racing while doing nothing to the gas pedal. Recall fixes had not been done yet. Dealers response was they did not know what caused it and didn't care what did - just put in the recall remedies and tried to give it back to us to "try this". We have no confidence that the problem was understood, or fixed or that the dealer even cares. Their response was that it is toyota's problem not theirs.
Car: 2010 camry le. Twice since purchasing the car in november the car has accelerated on its own. When accelerating to pass, the gas pedal travels to the floor, when it was not pushed that far. Both times I reacted by quickly putting the car in neutral and the pedal immediately returned to its neutral position. No damage, no injuries in either event.
I experienced a runaway acceleration while driving my 2010 camry le v6 (made in japan). While leaving the parking lot of my work place I was trying to pull away from a stop sign and the engine revved out of control. As I tried to pull away from the stop sign the tires slipped because it had just snowed. I gave it a bit more gas to get over the snow when the car started to pull away from the stop sign the engine revved out of control. I pressed and held down on the brake, the car continued to pull forward, I put the car in neutral and the engine was at redline for about 10 more seconds then returned to normal. At no time did I floor the accelerator, it was not stuck. I stepped down on the gas just a bit to clear the snow patch and the engine just revved out of control. I am lucky this didn't happen in traffic, and I knew enough to hold down firm on the brake, or there could have been an accident.
The cruise control on my 2010 toyota camry sometimes continues to accelerate the vehicle after I take my hand off the cruise control accelerate lever. The speed of the car continues to accelerate until I hit the brake.
Runaway late camry, lexus: turning the ignition key to the acc (accessory) position turns off the ignition while leaving the steering wheel unlocked. This information could save lives.
