Water Pump problems of the 2009 Toyota Camry

I have a 2009 Toyota Camry se with 53,000 miles on it. There was a noise coming from the engine during driving . Upon inspection I found out that there was no coolant in the reservoir. I also found that there was pink powder residue on the engine near the serpentine belt where the water pump is located . Did some research on the internet and found out many other people with the cars built from 2007-2009 Camrys had the same issue under warranty. Some cars had 10,000 miles or less with the problem. Also found out Toyota replaced the water pumps on these Camrys with a waterpump built from a different company. I filled the reservoir with coolant and took it to Toyota and they said indeed the water pump was leaking. They would not cover the costs under warranty since it had expired. There would be no coolant leaking under the car. During many of the oil changes the Toyota technicians would add coolant and top it off and never mentioned anything about the water pump leaking . I only found out because I saw the coolant reservoir was empty and started looking for a leak. I believe Toyota knew these water pumps were defective , and only changed it for people who complained about the problems under warranty with a different manufacturer of the water pump free of charge . Engines without coolant can get hot and catch fire. Please look into this issue of defective water pumps.

Took my vehicle to the dealership for a simple oil/filter change on July 7, 2016. I was told the water pump had leak and requiring the pump to be replaced. I was quoted to pay about $530 to get a new water pump replacement. I did look up the similar problem related to 2009 Camry. My vehicle has just over 50,000 miles mostly highway driven mileage. There have been more cases reported and supposedly to be a recall issued for new york state residents with similar complaints/problems. I don't know whether the local marietta dealership in georgia ripping me off or not. I did not ask for the old water pump to be returned to me after the work was done. I did not see the leak at all in my garage. I would appreciate it very much if there was unannounced recall from Toyota, I would be eligible for my water pump replacement bill.

My Toyota Camry car got water pump leak issue and it overheated my engine and it needed engine replacement. I am out of warranty period. It has 36k miles on it and 5 year 6months old.

Driving north on a highway I experienced the battery check and check engine light turned on, as well as lost power steering. Pulled off at the first available exit to see what happened, engine was no longer powering the wheels and I coasted to a stop on a ramp where I was forced to wait for police assistance. Opening the hood I saw the serpentine belt thrown off the engine and steaming from the belt side, after police helped me push the car to a nearby parking lot there was noticeable wobble in the water pump which allowed antifreeze to leak out and get sprayed inside the engine compartment. The next day the vehicle was towed to a dealer who wanted to run a diagnostic and then wanted to disassemble the engine to see the extent of the damage. I was informed that the cylinder head was warped due to the loss of coolant when the water pump failed and that they saw this often enough to be sure of the cause. Water pump failed at around 31,000 miles with no leakage beforehand. This seems to be an issue with the Camry that Toyota is refusing to admit to and assist in repairs. Due to self maintenance of car they claim damage was most likely showing and ignored by us.
