First time was prior to any body damage, second…

The front door locks no longer operate by remote. This is not a remote problem since my rear door locks do respond. I believe the front door lock actuators have failed on both the driver and passenger sides. The repairs for this will cost hundreds of dollars. There is currently a class action lawsuit in california. I think this is a wide spread problem.

Now march 2019, a/c seemed to be getting warm it is not blowing cold air and the outside air control stays on but should not with the a/c control. Heat seems to work on and off, just not working properly. This is all while driving. I leased…

Touch screen controls are becoming non responsive starting at lower right hand corner. Google search shows this is very, very common in 2014 and 2015 toyotas. Can' t pair phone with bluetooth anymore, since "add" button is in lower right corner of screen. Also very distracting while driving, when buttons never or intermittently respond! Contacted toyota dealers and toyota headquarters. One dealer admitted being…

At 50000 miles there was a plastic crunching sound in the steering column. The air bag light went on. Over the next couple of weeks there was more crunching and lost the cruise control followed by the horn and radio controls. The phone function was the last to go on the steering wheel. It was diagnosed as the clock spring and because my car was not in the recall for the exact same thing as other toyota vehicles i…

In my opinion there is an issue with the battery and or charging system. The vehicle was bought new. The new battery failed within three years. A new replacement battery then displayed notable corrosion starting around four months. The internet confirms the opinion of a seemingly off gassing problem causing corrosion especially on the positive terminal as is my experience. The internet notes risks of being stranded…

For the fourth time, an actuator in my 2014 camry le failed. I now have had four ' different ' actuators fail in my car. This as a safety issue. Most consumers expect that if the car has an auto-lock feature ' as ours has' that it will do so. If one depresses the remote lock button, or the lock button on the driver's door, they expect all doors will lock. Our doors fail in all these ways. Having four locked doors in…

On changing cellular service this year, i got a new phone. Instructions to enter it into the camry's bluetooth were unsuccessful, because, as i found out after taking the camry to toyota for service, the bottom half of the touch screen no longer works. As a result, to use the cell phone in the car i have to hold it in my hand and work the phone. I was told by toyota that the car is out of warranty and that they will…

The battery drains if the car is parked and not driven for more than a day or two. The dealer checked the issue and couldn't find anything. This issue occurred before; about 2 months ago. Having to drive around with a portable jump kit in my trunk just in case.

Ac condenser unit plugs and creates mold and bad smell from vents. Mold causes people with allergies to start having reactions. In addition, there is concern that the accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module. A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. This is similar to…

Intermittently, the button start will not cause the car to start. It happens most often at temperatures around 50f. The car will indicate that it recognizes that a key is nearby (green key icon on the dash) but when the brake is depressed and the button is pushed, only the electronics of the car turn on. The car, though, refuses to turn over. We have taken this issue to a toyota dealer and, of course, they are…

A rabbit chomped on the lower wiring harness rendering the car disabled due to the wiring being made out of an "organic" compound in keeping with its "green" philosophy. I was told by the mechanic it is made from either a peanut oil or similar ingredient that attracts rodents. He also went on to say that the wiring covering causes issues on many of the toyota's due to rodents eating the wiring and is is not covered…

The car computer refuses to accelerate properly when needed. When pressing on accelerator to cross busy intersection or from stop light, the exhibited 3-5 seconds of delay, it refuse to pickup speed which could cause a deadly accident! Toyota must recall the cars back and fix this problem before someone died again on the road!!!
