general problems of the 2010 Toyota Camry

My airbag light turned on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the hvac system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out. This was because the drain from the hvac system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed. Instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit. This exact problem was recalled on other model years of Toyota Camrys.

This car has required 6 sets of tires in less than 90,0000 miles. The driver's side window will roll down when pressing the button to roll it up. This has been going on since the first oil change. The air conditioner occasionally switches itself from recycled to fresh air while driving for unknown reasons. Sensor in passenger seat malfunctions causing random alarm about seatbelt when no one is seated there. The dashboard became sticky to the touch, and cloth would stick to it when attempting to wipe it clean. The dashboard then developed several deep cracks, running erratically ly from front to back. In places around trim pieces, dashboard plastic has flaked away. Plastic on the top of the console's lid has chipped and flaked away, and cracks have developed around it. Paint on trim of console has bubbled up and ruined the finish in console drink holder lid. The cd player malfunctioned, with a disc read error reported, though no disc was inside the player, requiring replacement of system. The aux audio port failed after only a year of regular use. The floor mats had to be removed due to the acceleration recall and the service department at dealership wanted to provide recall service limited to securing these with a zip tie. Carpeting became stained and filthy, and could not be effectively cleaned, so carpeting had to be replaced by owner. Recall notices received from Toyota by the owner have been expressly limited to weight capacity rating sticker, although this was Toyota financed vehicle and owner's address remains unchanged. Otherwise, all recall notices received by registered owner, have been limited to those reported by NHTSA following owner's registration at website. Local dealership has routinely been uncooperative, dismissive, or contentious when warranty service requests were made. Dealership offers only reasons to deny warranty repairs or replacements.

On 2 occasions while driving at speed (65-70 mph) in traffic on a major interstate, my car lost power (it did not cut off--only lost power). After working my way off of the interstate hwy. , I was able to use a code reader and found that diagnostic trouble code p2112 had been set (throttle actuator control system-stuck closed). After erasing the dtc the car ran ok. This has happened twice--once on 02/16/2017 (mileage 75,465) and a second time on 04/10/2017 (mileage 75,829). Following the instructions in Toyota's service manual for this particular vehicle, I checked the resistance of the throttle actuator on the throttle body and found it was well within specifications--measured 4 ohms and spec is 0. 3-100 ohms). In my opinion, losing power in heavy traffic on a major interstate is a very hazardous situation.

The instrument cluster went black when driving in the highway out of town. And later the engine was turned off. Restarted the car and drove to be checked at a dealer who said everything should be fine except for the instrument cluster. Restarted the car and the instrument cluster worked well this time. Two days later, the instrument cluster turned on all of warning lights and then went black again, at the same time, the car lost power and I couldn't speed it up. Pull over and restarted it, everything turned to be ok. So, I sent it the local dealer who replaced the instrument cluster. I keep the broken instrument cluster in case for need of further investigation.

Both the driver's side and passenger's side lock controls fail to lock and unlock both the driver's side and rear driver's side doors. Occasionally, depending on the temperature and humidity, the rear driver's side door will lock and unlock. It is a similar problem associated with the window/ lock control recall for 2007 and 2009 Toyota Camrys. It almost seems as though there is a faulty wire connection. This occurs at all times, no matter whether the car is in motion or not.

My fuel gauge always show a full tank of gas even when tank is empty, and when I turn the ignition key off, fuel gauge still shows full. I can't tell how much gas is in my tank, and this has result me without gas on a busy highway, it is really a safety hazard. Please recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the anto-theft security alarm system was not functioning properly unless the contact used the key fob, which worked intermittently. The vehicle was broken into and the alarm failed to engage. A police report was filed. The vehicle was scheduled to be inspected and repaired by an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.

The vehcile was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hit in the side front from the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed. Driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was becasue of the safety of the airbags. . . Which were no help in this accident.

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.

2010 Toyota Camry. Consumer states alarm system sounds while driving.

On Wednesday, March 17, 2010, I was driving my 2010 Toyota Camry south on alabama highway 59 in the vicinity of the intersection of baldwin county road 32 in summerdale. I was listening to radio station while out of mobile when the volume of the station faded out. It took about 2 seconds for the sound to completely disappear. I assumed the station had a problem and would be back in a few seconds. About a minute later I looked at the radio display and it showed ?volume 0. ? I turned the volume back up and the station was there. It had been there all the time. Something had caused the volume to fade out without any action on my part. This now gives me concern that the computer that controls virtually everything on the car is subject to outside influences.

Ltr fwd (NY) owner of a 2010 Toyota Camry that has been service for multiple defects since purchased including braking system and gas pedal recall, reply to massapequa, NY ofc. The back seat foam was defective and had to be replaced, the passenger exterior mirror was loose, the brakes had to be pumped so they wouldn't feel mushy, the steering was loose and the dashboard lights would dim while driving and when applying the brake. The consumer contacted the dealer and informed them the lights were not working. They stated it sounded as though it was an electrical problem and she would have to leave the vehicle. The consumer also stated when she applied the brake, the vehicle would lunge forward.

Toyota Camry xle 2010 with 11500 miles is accelerating on its own and it is taking noticeable longer to slow down. Check engine light is on and (esc) light is on. However this is not the first time this has happened. The car was taken to the dealer. The first time they said there was debris in the engine however it took them over 30 days to fix it and they did not seem confident they fixed the problem. It is not a consistent problem as it happens unexpectedly. This is not caused by a driver mistake as it can be clearly seen when foot is off the brake and car is in drive that the rpm is higher. Sometimes the opposite happens and the car acts as if it is going to stall and shakes very hard. The approx incident date is the last time it was noticed and the car is no longer being driven. * I wonder if there is a possibility that my cell phone that causes interference with my tv and radio causes an interference with the etc system?.

I bought a brand new 2010 Camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which I have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this Camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly. Moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving. Also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's Toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, I cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but I am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first Toyota I've owned, and it will be the last.

I own a 2010 Toyota Camry. I was told by one dealership that my car is not affected. I was told by another dealership that my car is included in the accelerator recall. First, when I put the keys in my car and start it, it will start to accelerate to 2000 rpms for 30 secs to a minute before going below 1000rpms. Also, when I drive around town, the car will remain accelerated even after I take my foot off of the gas pedal or even after I take my foot off the brake. I do not know what to do, and if my car is not part of a recall, this could be more of a systematic problem (either with the electric chip or the accelerator pedal I have) than what everyone thinks now. I have brought my car to the dealer 2-3 times (prior to the recall) and they said it was "normal" for all Camrys. But this is obviously not normal.

On February 2, 2010 I was entering my garage and slowly drove in, I then placed my foot on the brake to stop, I then opened the drivers side door slightly as I was about to place the vehicle in park a short revving of the engine began, right before I placed the shifter into park the vehicle jumped into reverse and began to accelerate backwards,causing damage to the drivers side door which flew open due to the reverse acceleration, the wall in my garage ,the garage railing , the side panel of the garage were all damaged as a result. I then slammed on the brakes and the parking brakes, placed the shifter in neutral and then turned off the engine, I then called the Toyota corporation and explained the event to them. Their process was slow and not considerate to my needs as a consumer. After several days and numerous phone calls Toyota finally responded and I was told that I was going to have to wait another 4 days for someone else from their regional department to get in touch with me. I finally decided to let my insurance company handle the vehicles damage because I only have one car. After a week in the shop I then took the vehicle a Toyota dealer for them to repair the recall issues. Toyota explained to me that they fixed the recall problems and returned the vehicle back to me.

The day after purchasing my 2010 Camry, the car seemed to ride funny. I felt uneasy but initially thought it may be that it was my first completely new car. This went on for the next few weeks, I. E. The car seeming to jerk or heave, regardless of the speed. I was worried that there was something wrong with the engine and then the lights on the aircondition/heating board stopped working so I thought it was an electrical problem instead. I took it in. The mechanic explained everything away, explained the 'electrical problem', and stated that the heaving feeling I was sensing was that the car was computerized and that it took time for the accelerator to catch up with the signal the computer was giving it, or something like that. He ran an engine check and everything was fine. On my service sheet he simply stated that I had complained about the accelerator hesitating (which I did not), but did not document that I brought the car in complaining that it had electrical problems. A week later there was the recall. When I later called about the recall and continued to complain about the accelerator problem, the serviceman ( a different one) told me that I would feel no change in the way the way the car drove so he would have someone ride with me to try to figure out what I was talking about. The day before taking the car in for the fix, the car slightly accelerated when I was trying to come to a stop. After the fix, a Toyota representative rode with me (I let him drive), but the car did appear to ride better after the fix. The car does still feel better than when I first bought it but seems to be gradually getting worse since the fix, e. G. The car occasionally slightly accelerates when I am coming to a stop.

My 2010 Camry has been to the dealer a few times. Know one seems to be able to duplicate the acceleration surge I'm experiencing. I contacted Toyota directly. They sent me to different dealer. Dealer had it for a day and said the same thing "can't duplicate" I think they have all been schooled to say this. I had the service manager ride with me and told him to watch the rpm dial when I go to stop. He saw the rpm dial move up to almost 2000 when I hit the brake. He had me drive another 2010 Camry and it did the same thing. I had a 98 avalon and a 03 Camry that did not do this. He explained to me that this is the way these new cars down sift and it's different than the older Toyotas. He assured me that my car is safe and I have nothing to worry about. After reading all of the other complaints here I'm not 100% sold that this is normal down sifting. I think I'm going to take this to arbitration. I hate to do this because I love my new car. . . I'm just really nervous driving it.
