2011 Toyota Camry wheels problems

Filed Feb 20, 2026 · Wheels · AZ

Premature Ball Joint Wear A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is from 2014. I barely purchased it not long ago. I have been having the oil from my ball joint driver side wheel spray all over the car randomly. This recall says everything I experience with it. It makes a clicking noise while turning my wheel to the right but a softer clicking noise if turning left.

I got my 150,000 tune, which included a computer refresh and alignment as well...well I asked for a replacement battery for my key fog and they gave a me a hard time about the battery...I just the need the battery changed on it and they said they would take care of it free of charge...when I got there they tried charging me $165 to change the battery in my key fog...which uses a round standard battery...and then they threaten me to take out the battery and then put the old one back in if I didn't comply. I ask to speak to the manager and he went ahead and did it for me like he originally had said....my dashboard after the computer refresh and key battery change my dashboard lights up with errors messages. And the car glitches and starts and shuts off when it wants to...and my alinement I got just before closing time and they reassuried me that it was good to go...and when I started driving it off the lot...it have another tire alignment on the opposite side of the car now....I've called them multiple times over and over and I've never heard anything back from them....

The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11.. A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11).. So I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??

Front right axle boot leaks grease to the control arm suspension causing the vehicle to be un stable/vibration puts me in fear. Dealership does not want to do anything about it. I am very scared. The vehicle is in motion

I was pulling out of the parking lot at bank of america in lithonia, ga and when I put the car in reverse, it accelerated and I couldn't stop it until it hit a light pole located behind the car. It was a loud impact but thank god my husband and I were not injured nor did we injure another person or their vehicle. It was only the grace of god that spared our lives because it was at 9:00 a.m. In the morning and a lot of people were coming in and out of the bank. I have had other episodes of acceleration which I reported to toyota in 2012 when I had the first accident which cost 12,000 in repairs.they inspected the vehicle at that time and stated that they couldn't find anything wrong. I did experience occasional episodes of acceleration after that inspection but no accidents until february 1, 2020. I purchased the car in 2012.

I recently had a flat tire after hitting something laying on a bridge and went to place my spare tire on my vehicle, and could not remove the lug nuts. Brought the car to an automotive shop and they could also not remove the lug nuts and said they were swollen very bad and none of their tools fit. Overall the lug nuts were swollen and needed to be replaced because they were swollen. This is very dangerous for driver safety causing drivers to drive on flat tires until reaching a place they can put air into their tires. Also, the fact that automotive shops can not take off the lug nuts either means costly repairs for the driver.

I was accelerating to 40 MPH, until I noticed that I was about to exceed 40 MPH. I removed my foot from the gas pedal and then, back of the car started to lose traction. I started to apply very light pressure to the brakes to correct the direction of the car. I looked where I wanted to go and made small adjustments to the steering wheel, until the car would stop drifting from lane to lane. The small adjustments did not help, and I lost complete control of the car. The car went to the left side of the road, then the right, then back to the left. As soon as the car went back to the left, it hit a ditch covered with rocks that swung the car to the right. I noticed that the rpms of the car went up from 1,500 RPM to (about) 6,000 RPM and I was also able to regain some control of the car. I was able to steer slightly, but not enough for me to straighten up the car. As the car was about to go off the road, I was able to steer it into a tree, rather than the small ravine in font of it and risk my life.

Noticed a large knot on the front drivers side tire that was purchased 6 months earlier. Took it to the nearest dealer of cooper tires and upon inspection it was determined that it was a manufacturer defect. If we had failed to notice this, it would have blown out while we were driving. Being on the front, this could have caused a serious accident. The tire was replaced at a pro rated rate. After reading about several other people having the same complaint, we are going to switch brands. The tires have not held up to the milage that was advertised. We have very little miles on them but they are already showing the wear bars. We have records and all the proper maintenance was done on these tires. These were not the original tires that came with the camery!
