1 Turn Signal problem of the 2006 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 09/11/2007

Directional signal tone is very low and extremely difficult to hear. Dealer tells me that there is no way to increase the volume. Safety issue is with the fact that it is very easy to leave the signal on if you do not make a wide turn. This distracts other drivers who are expecting you to make a turn. I realize that the signal flashes on the dashboard but it is not always easy to spot when you are driving in heavy traffic. Updated 01/09/08. Updated 12/12/07.

2 Turn Signal problem of the 2006 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 05/15/2006

The 2006 Toyota Camry uses the high beam headlamps for daytime running lights. The configuration of the lamp assembly places the turn signals immediately inboard of the drls. According to fmvss 108, s 5. 5. 11(a). 4: "if not optically combined with a turn signal lamp, is located so that the distance from its lighted edge to the optical center of the nearest turn signal lamp is not less than 100 mm" the drl implementation on the 2006 Camry appears to be in violation of this standard. A qualitative observation of the Camry at an intersection shows that the turn signal is significantly masked by the adjacent high beam drls. Nhtsa issued a recall for a similar problem with the Toyota celica a few years ago: NHTSA campaign id number : 04v566000 recall date : Nov 23, 2004 recommended action of NHTSA: investigate compliance of 2006 Camry drls with spec in no. 108 and issue recall if Camry is non-compliant. Recommended action of Toyota: if defective, disable all drl functionality. The benefits of drls are not proven, and drls are not required in the us.

4 Turn Signal problem of the 2003 Toyota Camry

Failure Date: 04/26/2003

I own a new, 2003, Toyota Camry that has a very low volume clicking sound when the directional signals are on. Because I can not hear the clicking sound with the normal background road noises, the turn signals stay on even though I am not going to turn. I see this as a safety and traffic violation issue and have complained to both my Toyota dealer and to the car manufacturer directly, but they tell me they have no solution for my complaint. Please advise me as to how to get satisfaction and resolve this problem.
