Hello this issue happened with my 2011 Toyota Camry. Yesterday evening at 7:30 pm I was trying to get into my car. The edge of the driver side car door slammed into my head and pierced through it. I had to call 911 and had to get 10 stitches on my forehead. Once I came back and examined the door of my car what I found is that the edge of car door looks like sharpened knife. The rubber beading does not reach till the corner of the car door (both on the driver side and passenger side). The edge of car door is extremely unsafe. I checked another car and there are no issues with that. The rubber padding reaches till the corner for that car.

I wrote on may 9, 2005 about my 2002 Toyota Camry. In June 2004 the driver's inside door handle cracked and the door could not be opened from the inside. In may 2006 the passenger inside door handle cracked. Toyota refused any support. In July 2006 the back seat passenger side door handle cracked. All three times it cracked when attempting to exit the vehicle. Exiting the vehicle becomes impossible. This is a dangerous situation. I have again contacted my dealers customer care and parts department as well as the general manager. They would not let me talk to the owner. The part manager says there have not been a lot sold at the dealership and there is nothing in the bulletins. But this is a recurring safety issue.

When the vehicle was taken to the dealer, the dealer was unwilling to provide a remedy to the problem. Updated 7/25/2006 - the door panel was replaced at the owners expense.

I am the owner of a 2002 Toyota Camry. In June of 2004, the inside driver's door handle cracked when I tried to exit the car. The handle is made of plastic. Toyota replaced the handle because the car was still under warranty. On may 5, 2006, the same thing happened to the passenger inside, plastic door handle when attempting to exit the car. This is a safety issue because the door won't open and you have to climb over the console to exit or have someone open the door for you. I'm grateful I wasn't exiting for an emergency. I have contacted Toyota. The first time you think it is a fluke but the second time makes you realize that they have a defective part which creates a safety issue. I don't want my door handle breaking when trying to get out of the car. I have owned many cars in my life time and have never broken a door handle. Toyota has refused to fix it claiming that it is not under warranty. However, they asked me such questions as whether I had my car serviced at the dealer and if I ever owned any other Toyotas. These questions are not relevant to the problem.

The driver side door on my vehicle does not close properly. The latch does not engage and the "door open" light goes on.

The driver's side back window has had a whisleing sound since I purchased the car. I thought it was just the way the car was made that it wasn't very sound proof but when I rode in the passenger side it didn't make the sound. I believe there is a problem with the weatherstripping or the way the back drivers side door seals.

1. Loud creaking and rattles: after many attempts at repairs, the problem finally turned out to be a manufacturing defect. They left plastic assembly guides in place, which they had to remove by removing the window again (this was a super secret service bulletin that was divulged only when the customer engineer for new england showed up). But he dealership managed to chip the paint in the process, requiring the roof to be repainted. Once the creak was gone, the interior rattles were unbearable from all the quality work completed. 2. Transmission issue: I've been assured by the service manager at me dealership that it is normal the transmission take at least a mile shift out of second gear when below 30â°f and to a lesser degree during warm weather. The car won't shift into third or overdriven until after least 1-2 minute of driving, no matter what speed. 3. Transmission issue: when lifting off the throttle from 60 to 55mph on a downhill, there's a "hitch" or bucking where the transmission abruptly catches, then releases. Almost like it down shifting, but it stops half way. This has been an annoying problem since day one. The bucking problem is annoying and problematic. It was solved by reset the computer and showed up again at 42,000 miles. They are blaming it on the adaptive micro-processor and my driving style. (warranty) 4.

My Camry has 30,000 miles on it and it is falling apart! the screws have fallen out of the doors three time and the Toyota dealerships only solution is to put silicone in the screw holes which now causes the the doors to squeak. The car is dragging the ground as a result of poor struts. I continue to get the run around with the manufacture.

The driver side door handle broke off in consumer's hand.

In 2001, when opening driver's door from outside with the door unlocked the flat part of the handle that is flush with the outer body of the door broke off from the remainder of the handle fixed into the door leaving a sharp piece of plastic on either side of the handle area that must be pried up to open the door. In the same week, the rear driver's side door did the same thing. I was told by the dealer/service department that "these plastics just don't hold up well in this sun. " I was also told it would cost $150 to repair them [as of January 2003 it would now cost $200 to repair them] and that since the car was in its fourth year, the warranty was no longer in effect. I and my wife have both been cut several times trying to get into the vehicle. Toyota's response is still "the warranty was only for 36 months. ".

The 2002 Toyota Camry achieved only a two star NHTSA side impact rating for the front doors (five for the rear). A Toyota representative at the 2002 International car show in san francisco said this was due to a structural design flaw which was being corrected ASAP for the 2003 models. The fix resulted in a three star rating. Will the correction be retrofitted on the older models or will passenger safety continue to be compromised because of this flaw?.

Apparently some part or parts have failed within the door handle assembly, resulting in the inability to open doors. Often this failure results in not being able to open a door from either the inside or the outside of the vehicle. Simultaneous failures could result in being trapped inside the car.

Consumer states the door lock motor was replaced.

Rotten egg smell since the car was purchased. Complained to Toyota dealership and the regional rep without a resolution. The rep suggestion was to just put premium gas in it. Certainly not what I expected from Toyota but I have been putting premium gas in the car and it does seems to tame the smell somewhat. In addition we have had problems with the front alignment and the car pulls to the left. Have purchased a life time alignment warranty but it still seems to go out of alignment quickly. Also have a constant wind problem with the driver side front door. Been repaired once, going into the shop again to repair. Also the original tires had to be replaced at 24,000 miles. I wouldn't consider a Toyota in future car purchases.
