There is liquid leaking under the passenger's seat causing a horrible stench in the car. I took the car to downtown auto center in oakland, ca and worked with assistant service manager patrick who informed that this is a "known" issue with toyota but not covered by the warranty. He said that debris gets clogged in the air conditioning ventilation system causing the leak under the seat. He charged me $200 (reduced to $100 when I complained) to clear the line but did not fix the leaked water, ruined carpet or do anything about the horrible stench in the car. I am very disappointed in toyota for not covering this known issue in my 2017 camry with less than 25k miles.

Mold negligence - issue originated around 10,000 miles as dealership records indicate. Dealership replaced air filter as the repair. However, supposedly, the tsbs suggested that a moldy mildew smell may develop from the HVAC components. The carpet was not pulled back and inspected until a formal complaint was made with toyota national. Mold was present and photographed. Additionally, other areas of the car were subject to other forms of water leaks and separate mold formed there also. Consumer suggestion of a moisture sensor in the low points of the body to notify the owner of an issue via a warning light.

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!

Driving on highway, heat gauge spiked suddenly. While trying to bring the vehicle to stop and pull to the shoulder , engine is lost. I had the vehicle towed to a toyota dealer and was told that engine was lost due to water pump failure. They estimated $ 6,000 cost for a replacement engine. Six months and less tan 5,000 miles before the incident, toyota dealer offered $11,000 for the vehicle during the oil change service. Vehicle was always serviced at the toyota dealer. Six months before the incident, I was told by the dealer that (when dealer offered $11,000), there might be a slight water leak, but, it is a known issue, and therefore, keep watching the coolant level. I kept watching the coolant level as they told me. Coolant level was normal before I started to drive right before the incident and within 50 miles of driving engine was lost. It was within an hour of checking the coolant level.
