Sunroof glass exploded. While driving on the highway coming home, we heard a loud explosion from above. We thought something had dropped from the sky and fell on our car. The sunroof had shattered and glass was falling onto us as I was driving. I had to drive about 5 miles(going about 40 MPH) until I was able to exit the highway. Upon observation there was a huge hole in the sunroof with glass continuing to fall as I continued to drive home.

Door check spot weld failure on driver's side door
Just purchased this car and the front bumper rivets came a loose while driving car causing the plastic covering in the front the protects came apart. And I was on 35 coming from dallas texas to austin texas.
On 4/15/16 dealer diagnosed my 2012 camry with 28k miles with the moon assembly structure rattle. Estimated cost to repair $1300. I believe this is the subject of tsb 0151-13. I only heard the pop when driving the vehicle, and it was worse on sunny/hot days. I would hear the pop when driving and turning at lower speeds.
I rear ended a jeep wrangler going about 30 miles an hour on the interstate. The jeep was stationary and my car was in motion my airbags did not deploy and I hit my forehead on the steering wheel which caused a large knot and cut on my forehead.
Takata recall. Sunroof/moonroof makes a popping, thumping noise when driving over uneven pavement and when turning into my driveway as if something is lose. Vehicle has only 23k miles and no longer covered under mfg warranty. After researching, this seems to be a common problem and not covered by my extended warranty.
Car had extremly poor quality in interior material. Rear bumper, rims and seat coming apart for a less 40k miles supension feel unsafe when un drive on highways vibration on the vehicule toyota just said vehicule was design like that. Any professional report about that condition
When driving the sunroof area cracks and pops. It happens especially when going over bumps. There is also a tsb0151-13 issued.
I experienced a sudden unintended acceleration of my camry as I was attempting to park the car on the third level of a parking garage. The car had been operating normally until I released my foot from the accelerator pedal to pull into the parking space. Suddenly the camry started accelerating on its own. I applied the brakes, but the car did not slow down or stop. Since I did not want to crash into ongoing cars or go over the edge unto the street below, I chose to crash into the parking space. The car went over the abutment into the cinderblock wall. The airbags did not deploy. A gentleman tried to remove the car from the abutment but said the brakes were not working nor could he get the car to move. He was able to turn off the engine. Two hours later the tow truck operator could remove the car from its spot with the brakes working. The body shop confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the brakes or accelerator pedal. Corporate toyota had an edr run. The manufacturer concluded: "after road testing your vehicle at various speeds, conducting acceleration and braking tests, we found no issues." toyota did not address the fact that the problem could have been in the software program that malfunctions intermittently. I feel that the car is dangerous since it gives no warning of an acceleration problem; therefore, I donated the car to an institution with the stipulation that it could not be driven on public roads. The car was under warranty at the time of the accident. And when I bought my car, I also had purchased the platinum vehicle service agreement that had a 0 deductible and an expiration of 75,000 miles. I thought we had lemon laws in place for these types of problems. Ultimately I have had to assume the financial burden caused by what is really a toyota problem.
The trunk falls on your head, not enough tension to hold the trunk steady.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the contact heard a noise coming from the roof of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, who diagnosed that the seams needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,000.
As I am driving I can hear a cracking noise coming from the sunroof they found it was a weld that had broken loose after some research I've realized that many other toyota owners are having the same issue. Toyota does not see it as a defect which does not make sense if the weld they placed is not holding shouldn't they reweld it? Well they won't and the noise gets louder and more consistent. They also made a part to fix this they called it a "sunroof silencer kit". Now they even told me they have to drop the headliner get to the weld and install a shim which will pretty much make the noise go away. They refused to do it under my extended warranty.
Driver ran into rear end of truck with heavy duty trailer hitch. The frontend of the camry sustained $5700 damage. The airbags did not deploy.
When slowly going over a bump or unlevel ground, the body seems to flex and make loud noises. The noise comes from areas of the roof area extending from the moon roof to the rear of the car, and also from the passenger side rear of the car. It gives the sensation of broken welds.
Request contact with investigators regarding air bag deployment failure following front end collision in 2012 toyota camry. Vehicle had passed recall service last year. My wife was struck in the left front and quarter area by negligent driver during a snowstorm on 1/23/2015. She was unable to apply brakes. The air bags did not deploy. So far, the primary appraisal is $4,600.00 in damages to drivers door, left front panel, left wheel well and drive train, the entire front bumper, right front quarter panel, hood, and roof pillars. The tear down is in progress for supplemental appraisal. Air bags failed to deploy. After the accident, she called and I advised her to access winter survival kit. She said the engine ran and used the heat until the police arrived. When my wife stepped out of the car to meet the police, she slipped onto black ice and fell onto her lower back and pelvis. Her physician evaluation is currently in progress. The responsible party's insurance company and claim number is:nationwide 321-301 gb. My insurance company and claim number is: anpac 16a2vj879 I have provided a report to toyota corporation and they said an inspector will be involved. That claim number is: toyota [xxx]. Thank you.

Recently I noticed the front door passenger side would not work with the remote and I had to open manually from inside. I had toyota check it and was told it was the attenuator which I replaced. Two days later the right side back door is unable to open by remote as well. When the doors open the car gives off a steady noise suggesting that the attenuator is not working. I was wondering if this is a problem for camry. I had a 1997 camry for a number of years and never had this problem. Toyota said that my car exceeded the 36000, 36 month warranty. I never had this problem with the 1997 vehicle. This is an expensive job , exceeding $500.00 per door. A bit perplexed.
Toyota dealership indicated our problem is not unusual...mice and/or chipmunks are nesting on top of the cabin air filter, creating a potential air quality health hazard to occupants. The air intake was said to be close to the ground, making it easy for rodents to enter the air intake. A recall is needed for the dealers to place a suitable barrier to rodents at the point of entry.
On 9/24/14, while traveling home from a neighborhood park, I was hit by a truck on the driver side. I was going down a slight hill and was going to turn right at the intersection. I'm not sure exactly what happened prior to impact but my turn signal was on, I was going to turn right and I was breaking. Suddenly, I heard this loud crash, when I looked to my left, I saw my driver's side mirror being pushed into my door, then I saw the truck. My car did not stop. I was going apprx 15 to 25 miles per hour maybe, and again I was traveling slightly downhill and would have been making a turn. I think my car was continuing to move forward in the seconds before impact. Once I was hit, my car continued to move, seemingly faster. At that point I was very much aware that my car was not stopping and the breaks were not working. Amazingly, I was able to navigate the corner (without being hit by anyone coming from the opposite direction) and turn the car into a parking lot (with no control of the breaks). In front of me in the parking lot, which is not a big lot, my car continued heading in the direction of a building there. I could not stop the car and was forced to put it into park, hoping that would stop the car. It did. However, the airbags did not deploy. The police were called, a ticket was issued to me stating that I drove without due care and caution. My insurance and toyota hotline have been contacted. The process is just beginning and I will not know the full extent of the damages until the "black box" is inspected. This has been very upsetting and could have resulted in a much more serious outcome. I thought toyota's acceleration problems had been dealt with.
Right from day one in 2012 when I bought the vehicle- it rattles and shakes. I changed the tires in july 2014 at 11000 miles to michelin (original-worthless firestone tyres). At 80 MPH on highway toll roads it is unsteady and can be blown away by a slight gust of wind. The body is worthless! The bumpers came off. I had to get them fixed. These toyota cars are toys! Not fit for roads. I regret buying one.
I drove this 2012 camry on the high way to nashville tn for 8 days vocation started 28 june 2014, lot of water coming out from carpet, had to stop and clean water in every couple hours(my hand was injured when cleaning up water). After I arrived a hotel, I searched on the internet and found out that toyota had a recall in dec 2013 on this A/C water leak, it can cause "airbag warning light", electronic power steering light", or other problems. We are very worried about car may cause accident in the whole vocation. ------ after back to rochester ny, called toyota and they told me go to toyota service to repair this problem; so I went to henrietta ny toyota service and told them A/C water leak, they said they will fix that, on the service report printed:" customer states there is a water leak", "work performed by xxxx", "cleaned A/C drain". But the manager lied to me, he said there is no recall. ------ not sure if it is totally fixed, car still very moist, smell is bad, even after open car's 4 doors, put the carpet bask in the sun for few days. ------ yesterday, I found another toyota service report and recall letter from toyota on 12/28/2013, and this report shows they "performed work by xxxx." . I totally forgot this car recalled and already performed the "fix" for A/C water leak problem, obviously, toyota service did not fix this problem and they lied to me. ------ this camry has damage under carpet because of water leak, it may cause some electric circuits problems in the future, I don't want to be worry everyday, so I don't want this car any more (the lease term will end in one more year and a month, I paid $3000 down payment for 3 year lease, also every month payment). What is my choice? ------ thanks!
Loud knocking noise coming from moon roof of my vehicle, I took it to toyota dealer and they said its fixed but after driving 5 miles, it started making more noise, planning to take the car to same dealer again.
The paint is [xxx] on this car. It scratches, pits, and cracks with the slightest of forces. I feel like I got a lemon. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Sunroof makes a rattling noise like a component is loose. Dealer could not find issue upon initial purchase.
There is a mouse in my engine somewhere and there is nothing in the way of diagram to be able to find it. It must be coming in through the air system somehow. It is dangerous because it has come into the cabin of the car and we do not know where or how to find it. Although it may be an uncommon occurrence, it's valid enough to find others reporting it. There must be a way to call and get a diagram of intake air system from the manufacturer and that has not been available after a long phone call, we're told take it to dealer.
Pulling into a parking space, I pushed the break, and the car lunged forward. It accelerated, I pushed the break again, looking to make sure my foot was on the break. It was. The car drove over a parking space barrier and crashed into a fence, knocking down the fence, and ultimately stopping the car.
On the morning of march 11, 2014 I was driving up a curvy road with a co-worker in the car when my driver's door unexpectedly flew open. It opened on it's own after 10+ minutes of driving 25-35 MPH around a few other corners with the door securely closed. When the door opened the dash light alerting me a door was open came on as well as the door chime. Luckily there wasn't another car coming from the other direction or they would have hit my car door. On april 2nd I was driving from my home to my office when my door unexpectedly flew open again while going around a turn. This was after 5+ minutes of driving and going around a turn prior to it opening. The exact same thing happened where the door flew open, the dash alert and chime came on. Once again I was lucky there wasn't a car coming the other direction or they would have hit my car. The local dealer cannot verify the problem so they have said there's nothing for them to fix, putting my safety at risk and other drivers on the road at risk. I have asked toyota corporate for help but so far the issue has not been addressed.
The gas and brake pedals are to close together. I have a size 13 eee shoe and I have to be very careful to not step on the gas and brake at the same time which has caused unintended acceleration "several times" which luckily did not involve another car. Toyota says they have software installed to prevent this but, it is not helping me. They claim the car is working as designed. I'm a 65 year old professional truck driver with 3.5 million safe miles. I have driven 100's of cars and trucks and never had this problem before. I also own a 2010 toyota prius and don't have this problem with it! This is my wife's car. I would trade it if it was mine!
On jan 31, 2012 after the lunch break, I was parking my car per usual in my office parking lot which I purchased on dec 27, 2011(1 month, 4 days old). I completely slowed down and applying brake and releasing to park the car in the right way. The car came to a stand still a little behind (by feet) from the lot. So, I thought of moving the car little bit forward to park correctly. When I stepped on acceleration with very minimal impact, the car suddenly accelerated (unintended) and hit the mobile trailer which is in front. There was damage to the car which costs $3000 to replace front hood, bumper, fix the front door which was damage. This incident also depreciated the value of my car, increased by insurance premiums which I am paying for till date. I had to pay $1000 out of my pocket. Due to the sudden unintended acceleration of the vehicle, I had to go through a very tough time.it all happened within a second and horrifying. Till today, I couldn't understand how this incident happened because I am very cautious in driving at all times. I have had driving experience for 3 years before this incident without any incident. If you need more information about this incident, you can contact me on my email, cell phone.
