Equipment Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid - part 2

At least two weeks ago, Toyota updated its entune navigation software with a flawed system update that eliminated the voice command system for phones, navigation, etc. Toyota has failed to provide public notification of the problem and has to-date failed to come up with a solution to correcting the problem. This results in a safety problem, as Toyota customers can no longer place or make calls or seek directions verbally. All commands must be physically entered on the system or a smartphone resulting in a clear driver distraction and safety hazard.

The vehicle was parked in the driveway when the horn sounded, and we noticed flames shooting out of the driver's door panel. When the fire was put out, it was clear it had originated from the driver's door controls, and was localized to that area. The malfunction was related to the visibility: power window devices and controls. This incident is related to a recall. The recall NHTSA campaign id is 12v491000. (10/12).

Takata my 2007 Toyota hybrid has been behaving badly, with just 190k miles. My traction battery monitor would show 7 bars falling to 1 bar instantly. Instantly, as I would be looking at it and it just dropped that fast. It would get parked with a full charge indicated and then the next morning one bar. Sometimes it goes into e mode and shuts off while driving on highway ive been close to crash with other vehicles. The ecm throws a warning, "check hybrid system". I borrowed an actron scanner that had the capability of basic hybrid codes and one code was present "p0a80". Also, check vsc would show all the times. Somewhere I read this is normal with p0a80 as the ecm shuts down the vsc to conserve power. .

Abs and warning signs were on dash. 1st time ever happened. On a busy intersection car was barely stopping. Once realized car was not stopping got off busy intersection and got to safe area. Brakes did not work at all.

Sticky dashboard.

Driver side sun visor will not stay in up position. It flops down, blocking vision. Toyota says they may or may not cover it. Seems like a hazzard that they are responsible for.

Sticky and shiny dashboard. The reflection of the shining dashboard is causing a lot of trouble while driving. Cannot get a clear view of the road in the front when the dashboard is reflected on the windshield.

The sunroof glass spontaneously exploded without being hit by any object.

As I cruise on highway at 70 miles per hour, the hybrid traction battery starts to make Mini rapid progressively loud explosions like the back of my rear seat is about to explode. To alleviate this I have to slow down to about 65 miles per hour. I have contacted Toyota and the dealerships but are unwilling to investigate the cause. This car is still under warranty.

Check vsc system error, traction control light, abs light and emergency "!" light illuminated when car was idle. Brakes became "soft". Next day, light was off until after driving a few miles, again same lights came on and brakes became soft again at a stop light.

The front end axle or cv joint area ,there is metallic and dash lights up warning about losing stability.

I have a foul odor from my a/c unit caused by mold/mildew. Toyota did a foam/vent treatment, but the problem is still there. They will not repair the issue.

I put a suitcase in the trunk on its side. It was touching the inside top of the trunk. In removing the suitcase the spring mechanism , that holds the trunk open, was dislodged. This caused the trunk lid to fall heavily on me.

My car does not start when the weather gets chilli. Tryed so many times but won't turn on.

Since moving to san antonio, TX 8/30/16 my dashboard has begun melting and has become tacky and shiny. The glare hits my windshield making it unsafe to drive at times. I brought the car in for recall repairs on 10/31/16 and asked if there were any other known issue. I was not made aware of the warranty enhancement until 10/25/17 and was informed I missed the 5/25/17 deadline. The car is not safe to drive and I believe this should be a recall issue and not a warranty issue.

While stopped in traffic and foot on break, camry was moving forward while my foot firmly on the break . I pushed even more however the vehicle was moving forward and break was not effective.

This was on city street in san francisco about 200 yards from 80east entrance, no rain, about 70 degree 6:45 pm. After pushing the gear to park I turn off the vehicle and start it back up. I felt the break pedal getting harder and break was firm and put the vehicle on the drive.

The abs light and check vsc light and brake light went on. When I tried to apply brakes to stop, I realized that the brakes completely failed. The car was skidding and keep going and I pumped the brakes and still the car was moving forward. I came close to hitting another car and luckily stopped couple of inches from the other car. It keeps happening often and I am worried to drive this car as it is. It works fine and suddenly goes to this brake failing mode. Especially happen more often if it rains and making it more dangerous.

I'm responding to the known issue. I have a sticky shiny dashboard that chips very easily. It feels like paint that's not cured.

My car has hit 171073 and is the 2nd time or 3 time that saids "check vsc system"and my stability control is notbworking propertly the dealer said is something normal with this year mkd and model of the car please help.

Brakes went soft, loud squealing noise all lights on dashboard and check vsc system.

When shifted into reverse while car not on or when car on but key not detected or during delay between key detection car will roll backwards but will not allow driver to drive forward.

Rear view mirror, night time driving, viewing of vehicles approaching from rear is distorted by the bright image that appears in the mirror. This make driving unsafe as your eyes have to readjust to viewing the roadway ahead of you. Plus it makes it very difficult to judge the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle behind yours.

When I change break pads and rotors the vsc system light is on. . Breaks no engaged.

While driving on a straight road on 3 separate occasions I lost all control of my brakes and my "check vsc light", brake light and abs lights came on. I was not able to stop my car like normal and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. It was very scary while driving.

My panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered on my 2015 Camry Hybrid. I was entering the 101 freeway in paso robles, CA, traveling south into very light traffic (1:30 p. M. ). Approx. 3/4 of a mile later into my freeway transition there was a explosion-like sound. My initial response was to look out my back window, where I noticed dark-colored glass was flying away from the car. A freeway overpass was not in play, I was traveling a full lane away from the north bound center divider, and the area to the immediate right of my car was a grassy area. My car was not hit by a foreign object; stone, bolt, etc. , as there was no other damage to the vehicle. Upon taking my car to the Toyota dealership, I was informed that it could have only been caused by an flying object like a stone. However, as I searched the internet, I became aware thatexploding /shattering sunroofs has not been a occasional happening, as hundreds of testimonies on the internet indicate otherwise. Most all auto manufacturers are involved. Nbc-tv new york, on February 24, 2015 did a news piece on this very subject. I would strongly encourage the NHTSA to thoroughly investigate this important matter.

Limited visibility thru windshield due to dashboard reflection (melting dashboard has caused a high gloss finish). This condition has become progressively worse over time and presents a serious safety hazard. Toyota has created a warranty enhancement program to replace these defective dashboards, however, my dealership has indicated the dashboards are limited and said he has a customer already waiting 6 months. I talked with Toyota customer service and they would not acknowledge this as a safety hazard, could not tell me when a replacement dashboard would be available and referred me back to the dealership. Toyota doesn't seem compelled to replace these parts in a timely manner. In my opinion this is most definitely a serious safety hazard that needs to be addressed and should be classified as a recall and not a ¿warranty enhancement". Please see attached images.

When I purchased the car in 2015. I was informed that a recall was going to take place on the dash board. This was due to the fact that sun was making a sticky glaze to form. This is hazardous because it often creates a blinding glare during the day while driving and even while parked.

Toyota failed to replace melting/sticky dashboard after 6 month from the initial inspection. (1) the melting/stickyness of the dashboard releasing toxic fume likely have long term effects on ones health, and (2) the shiny/reflective surface the dashboard creates a safety hazard for drivers.

The driver side sun visor does not stay up and is a danger to drive and causes limited vision to see the road. This seems to be a widespread problem with camrys.

The Toyota Camry Hybrid shows the "check vsc system" message on the dashboard with the brake, hazard, warning, and abs lights. Upon research it seems like a known Toyota issue with their faulty abs accumulator. The replacement cost is a staggering $2500+ quoted by the dealers. Without replacing it affects the brake systems. There is pulsating in the brakes. There is also water pump leak associated with this. This should be handled by Toyota with a recall. There are lots of reporting for this same issue and fixing this issue is so costly and for a know failed/fauly component.

When I was driving at 65 mph. . The check vsc system warning came on. This happened about 1 month ago. I thought nothing of it because it went off after I started the car again. . . So 3 weeks later it comes on again and goes off. When it cane on the brakes didn't work as well, and all of the warning lights were on. Yesterday on 3/25/2015 it came on and has now stayed on. The brakes are working correctly, however, I know something is wrong. I have been researching this issue and found out that Toyota is assisting with fixing this issue. M y next step is to call them.

Interior head lining is coming down. It started on the back windshield. It was hanging down so I see it when I use my rear view mirror. Now it is coming off on the driver side front windshield. Also front driver visor. Also sticky dashboard.
