    While driving and running my vehicle ac, i began hearing a "liquid swishing" noise, often when turning or coming to a stop. Later, when parked, i noticed the mat/carpet under the drivers seat was wet. Upon further inspection a few days later, the mat was still soaked and there was standing water there, as well soaked carpet behind the passenger seat. From research, this appears to be a more common issue with the…

    Takata recall the driver door is not locking or unlocking when button is pushed on the remote or any buttons in the car at any time. The only way to lock or unlock is to use the key in the door or to manually lock and unlock actual lock. It's not safe as the car sounds as if it's locking but the drivers door is not and gives the opportunity for someone to get in my car that is not to be in my car. Has been on and…

    I was driving on a busy [redacted] at about 35 mph and the car just cut off. No warning lights came up on the dashboard. I do not know what components of the car caused it to cut off. I put the car in park and tried to restart it but nothing happened. I put on the emergency lights, got out of the car and waved to oncoming traffic to alert them that the car was stopped in the middle of the road. I was almost killed,…

    My toyota camry 2012 se has 80,000 miles on it and it started to do a hard shift into second gear that resulted in me needing a new transmission.

    While driving on any road ( highway, city street, ect.) at between 25 and 45 mph. The transmission shuders. This from my research shows that there is a massive manufacture defect in the tourque converter as well as the ecu. This could and will cause major transmission issues. This should and needs to be a mandatory recall.

    Glare from the dashboard under certain sun angles completely obscures vision through the windshield. At times we are forced to drive at a crawl. In one instance, we almost ran into a flagperson who was standing in the road directing traffic around a work crew.

    Vehicle shutters at 30-45 mph when accelerating and the foot is taken off the gas. If you hit the gas and speed up or slow down enough, it stops, but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Started at just 45mph, now happens at 30 and 35 mph as well. In reading other forums, there doesn't seem to be a fix for this. Some have been told a computer upgrade, but that was only temporary and it came back worse.

    Door locking/unlocking failing. I have replaced 3 out of 4 parts to repair the problem over the last 2 years. In an emergency situation, as an example, where you need to get your child out of the car, the locks could fail.
