Rattling noise coming from the driver side dashboard due to pandemic never took to dealer for repair rattling has increased and in any bad road is constant so in highways when driving. See various complaints about same issue on internet and a you tube video shows how to repair it. Yesterday contacted Toyota help center and said it was a service customer advice that expired on 2019 I explained that never received a letter or e-mail advising about that service I am retired and my car has 62,000 k miles and out of warranty now but it has to be fixed because I am afraid to use it now, and after see the complaints on internet that is a subject that Toyota has to address because is an expensive repair for a damaged little part on the steering electric motor, so when driving is rattling and stationary parking when you turn the steering wheel either side you can hear the clicking noise.
I was driving about 70 mph on interstate 95 and all of a sudden my car shut off while going 70 mph my check engine light and the traction control light came on the car came back on while still going 70 mph picked up where it left off it was a bit scary.
I am filing this complaint regarding a known and documented issue affecting my 2012 Toyota Camry (VIN: [xxx] ), which has developed a transmission shudder and vibration between 20–50 mph. This problem is directly aligned with Toyota technical service bulletin t-sb-0079-15 and customer support program zf4, both of which describe issues with the torque converter and ecm software. My vehicle has 116,670 miles, which falls within the mileage eligibility of the support program (zf4: 150,000 miles), though it is just outside the time limitation (8 years). I reached out to Toyota (case #: [xxx]) to request goodwill assistance due to the safety-related nature of the defect and the fact that it is a well-documented product flaw, but they declined support solely based on time — not on mileage or vehicle condition. The vibration affects the transmission and drivability, particularly during city and highway acceleration, creating potential hazards when merging or navigating traffic. I believe this qualifies as a design flaw with potential safety implications. I respectfully request that NHTSA review Toyota’s handling of this issue and determine whether further consumer protection or a recall is warranted, especially for owners who were not adequately notified or who fall just outside the support window despite clear symptoms.
