Owners/service Manual Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

Toyota fails to disclose that sunroof has drains designed to discharge water from the top of the vehicle. If one of these drains get clogged (and could happen very easy) water gets inside the vehicle. Water infiltration can start with a very slow amount so the issue is not discovered immediately because underneath the carpet is a material that absorbs this water. Mold can be developed, as well as electrical malfunctions during driving. My spouse accused breathing issues and psoriasis and we discovered that our vehicle is getting rain water inside. Could be for months or even years, as well as since we purchased it - there is not way to assume or to notice how much water you have in which time because you discover it when is too late. Toyota refuses to assume any responsibility for the damage, claiming that are not responsible for damages caused by outside elements. But in the Toyota owner manual this drain is not disclosed to the customer, so it could take a periodic check. Also lustine Toyota from woodbridge va where we service the car at every six months since we purchased the vehicle, does not have any recommendation, written or not, about these drains but instead can diagnose very quick that the water in the carpet comes from clogged drains. How come that Toyota is well aware about the issue but is not raising any awareness about it, so the customer can be prepared in advance instead of having the vehicle full with water and to pose dangers while operating the vehicle for himself and others around? Toyota needs to be held responsible like any other manufacturers are (see ww, Chrysler, Volvo) for failure to disclose important car features. We will need to get the vehicle back to the dealer and the issue to be corrected on their expense but the Toyota customer service, represented by mrs. Kristen, refuses. Our case number was 1802171412 please help.

Three of the four door lock actuators have failed. The failures begin intermittently and then result in total failure. The front driver side door and rear driver side door have totally failed. The rear passenger door now intermittently fails. Toyota indicated that they have no recalls or extended warranties. Internet searches show that multiple Toyota models have this as a common failure. This poses a significant safety issue as the door locks do not respond to the electrical unlock / lock button and do not respond to the remote. Manual unlock still works; however, in the case of small children or use of the child safety locks, this will likely not be an option. I have registered a complaint case with Toyota USA. Toyota USA indicated that nothing will be done by them at this time. They will notify me if they issue a recall or extended warranty in the future.

Upon starting the car, the check vsc alert appeared on the dash indicator screen. User manual instructed me to drive to nearest service center. This is not a safe procedure, as the braking system was near complete malfunction. Upon research online, it came to my attention that this is a common problem. The total cost of repair will near $2500. The service technician also informed me that there is a system update for this problem, indicating that Toyota is aware of the malfunction. Hopefully this complaint will assist in the issuing of a recall for the brake actuator or related vsc system that has been such a persistent issue. Thank you.

I was only driving my vehicle about a mile when it first happened. I was approaching a stop light and attempted to apply the brakes. Nothing happened. The steering went out and the brakes felt like they weren't catching. Thankfully, I was only going about 25-30 mph, and had enough space to stop before hitting another car that was stopped at the light. I looked at the dashboard display and noticed something that read, "check vsc system". There was also a warning triangle. The camry manual instructed us to bring it to the dealership - but I can't afford that. The next day, it worked fine. A few weeks later, the incident happened again while I was exiting the highway and coming to a red light. I was decelerating from about 65 mph to a full stop and felt the brakes give again and the steering was difficult. I was able to pull over, turn off the car, and restart and it was fine again. I had the brake pads changed, but don't understand what is happening. We didn't have the problem for several months. But now it feels like the brakes want to give when I am idling in traffic. While my foot is on the brake, the car will squeak and subtly jerk forward like the brakes are about to give up the ghost. It's really scary, but I can't afford another car at this time. I've looked into the vsc system and don't understand why that would intermitently affect my braking and steering ability.
