2010 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

Went in for regular oil change and was told the oil was burning and there was none left. First time ever hearing this problem, but very worried as to why this happened because of the possibility off engine damage driving without motor oil.

The problem is with the dashboard and it is available for inspection now. (I also have photos). It has been inspected by my two auto repair mechanics. Both are certified by AAA. The dashboard is shiny (it looks wet) and extremely sticky. There were no warning lights or messages regarding this problem. This problem began around 9/2023, but is much much worse now. It is possible that there are toxic substances being emitted from the melting compounds. This puts me and my passengers at a health risk from breathing in these substances.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING SEVERE SHINNY GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS OBSCURING MY VISION AND CREATING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION TO VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS.

My dash has melted its making my visibility impossible. I had to replace my windshield in June 2024 because of a crack Now my windshield gets and oily substance put off from the the dashboard and I cannot keep my windshield clean to see out of it.

Sticky Dash and peeling paint for tainted paint color 040/ that of which my car was painted with 040 Super White - I have documentation proving the pain code at time of purchase. Toyota over the telephone says it goes by the VIN number - but Toyota’s website states completely the total opposite - it states any vehicle painted with paint color 040 from 2008 -2017 model is eligible for a paint re- do?

My 2010 Toyota Camry LE dashboard is physically sticky, extremely shiny, & material of dashboard is melting & breaking down. It produces fumes at higher temperatures & seems to add fog to glass.The entire dashboard material is impacted. It has drip marks, bubbling, and erosion & getting worse. The area where the passenger airbag would deploy from is impacted, as well as overall integrity of physical dashboard across entire dashboard. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others is being put at risk by the following: Multiple significant safety issues for driver & passengers from dashb1) visibility issues from extreme glare onto windshield result in blinding and/or distractiing driver, 2) Integrity of dashboard material is compromised (spongy, sticky, breaking down & worse with heat in normal conditions of use) 3) the dashboard is impaired where airbag would deploy from, 4) exposure to chemical fumes and particles from dashboard materials continues as it breaks down. I had Toyota Dealership Service Manager to view & inspect this dashboard in person on [XXX]. The service manager sat in driver seat and observed problem with extreme glare, touch to confirm stickiness, and I pointed to example of drips of melting dashboard, small pieces chipped & eroded from dashboard. The service manager also confirmed the passenger airbag does deploy from the dashboard (when asked). The toyota service manager then checked for recall or service program related to this issue. A customer service program would have replaced this for free - but showed as expired. I was then provided an estimate for dashboard replacement of $3128. This is serious defect that demands a safety recall. It impacts the safety and integrity of my vehicle and others on the road in the U.S. My vehicle only has 75,560 miles. No sensors or warning lights exist for dashboard material I'm aware of. The problem has been evolving overtime and getting worse. Merits safety recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF I

The dashboard is melted and creates a horrible glare that is blinding. I was never informed of any recall. Toyota claims when I called today that there was a recall that expired in 10/2019 that I was never notified on.

My 2010 Toyota Camry has a sticky dashboard issue. I am the second owner of the vehicle. Toyota had an open recall on sticky dashboard recall that ended in 2020 which i was not aware of during my ownership term. I took the car into dealership multiple times for oil change and tires and I was never informed of this. They sent letter about notice to previous owner. The car was never fixed under recall. When i contacted them, they mentioned the car notice was sent to previous owner and they can't honor the warranty anymore. This is a bunch of crap. They should be held liable for 1.) sending notice to wrong address 2.) not fixing a faulty design. An expiration on "safety recall" doesn't mean the problem goes away. The problem exists on my car and it is a road-hazard as the sticky-melting dashboard creates a glare on the windshield. The car is not driveable during day time when sun is shining. This is a serious safety issue and can lead to death of driver. I expect this issue to be fixed under their now closed-recall. Closing recall doesn't fix probelm for owners that didn't receive proper communication. I expect TOYOTA to fix this free of charge

My 2010 Camry has become incredibly unsafe to drive or be in due to the dashboard melting. There is an unbelievably unsafe glare caused by the dashboard reflecting sunlight and the more the dash melts the more intense the glare becomes. There is also a smell that renders the vehicle almost worthless on hot days and causes headaches. This is on top of not being able to clean the dashboard because you cannot touch it with anything. All bugs and any dust that land on the dashboard live there permanently. You cannot wipe it with anything. Your finger prints stay on the dash with the lightest touch and often it becomes so hot you cannot touch it without potentially burning yourself. The dash melting is a safety hazard to everyone on the roadways. There are likely millions of cars with this defective dashboard that have not been repaired. I have contacted Toyota several times, including executives and high ranking corporate employees, and they say that they will not replace or help with this defective and unsafe cheap component that they used in order to increase their margins. The problem has been acknowledged by Toyota but they failed to contact an incredibly high number of owners that are affected. I first noticed the glare in 2014 and it has gotten progressively worse. I took the vehicle to a toyota dealership twice (2016/2023) and they refused to fix the defective dash both times. They expect owners to pay $3,500-$5,000 for a dashboard repair on a vehicle that has 100k+ mile life left yet is only worth around $5,000. They are essentially totaling cars that owners have worked hard to maintain and get the most out of. Toyota is stealing 10+ years of vehicle life from many consumers and placing the burden of their profit margins increasing onto consumers that buy toyotas because of their longevity and reliability.

We have a 2010 Camry. It is having the sticky dash issue with it, which is a known issue with Toyota. And more concerning, the issue is causing a horrible glare on the windshield. This is a safety hazard as it is very hard to see. I understand there was a recall at one point, but since it is a huge safety concern, I would like Toyota to replace the dashboard at no cost to me.

1)the engine died upon stopping at the stop light,but was able to start again.the engine light & stability control light came on. the service dept replaced the battery and neutral switch was also replaced. 2) check engine light & stability control light came on again in the same situation.the technician suggested to remove the aftermarket alarm system for less than $1k(6hours of labor). I took the car to alarm installer to have it remove for a fraction of the dealer's price. this time i sought the help of BAR agent.Who had not shown at the service dept according to the Technician. i provided him all the receipt I had on hand. 3. took the car to another mechanic whose diagnosis was the same as the dealers.was advised to take it back to the dealer for they do not touch something that the dealer has started. back to the dealer, they replaced the shifter as it was contaminated by spilt coffee by the previous owner. 4) still, the same lights illuminated.this time car was in their shop from July 20th i was called two times to come and pick it up.but when I got there, not ready yet. today, I got there and was told that they could not do anything anymore. Either drive the car or towed somewhere else.my choice. how could i drive a car knowingly that it is not safe to do so. i was offered $7k( including all the monies I paid every time i drove off their lot.) to trade in for a new car in which i cannot afford in the first place. suggested to tow it back to the dealer where i bought it, Lexus of Sacramento. please advise.

Sticky and Shiny Dashboard causes lots of reflection on windscreen hampering road visibility during direct sunlight and night driving. I am scared driving my car.

My Toyota Camry Has been turned down for a melting and shiny dashboard replacement. Toyota says they notified me but I never received a notice in the mail. I called them at least four times, but they would not do the necessary replacement, saying that I was beyond the period of their offer to replace it. The problem seemed to occur some years after the purchase which was not visible till about two years ago. I consider this a safety problem because of the glare in the modern tilted windshields. I would like help on this problem

melting dashboard is a safety hazard as it reflects in the windshield

Dashboard melting, bugs stuck to it. What repair/replacement is there?

The dashboard of my car is extremely sticky and is now causing a glare when I drive. This is a safety hazard due to the fact that the light from other cars/stoplights reflects off the shiny/sticky surface. This problem is very prevalent in other cars as well. I tried to get it fixed through extended warranty, but that ended in 2020. I believe that Toyota should extend this warranty as we were in a lockdown for all of 2020, and I was not able to visit a repair shop. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the failure of my dashboard, making it more dangerous as I found out when I had a glare from another car reflecting off my dashboard and temporarily blinding my view.

The dashboard is very sticky and highly reflective to the point where, at times, I cannot see through the windshield. Driving has now become dangerous and I almost went head on into a car in front of me after making a turn westbound into the setting sun. Toyota dealership was contacted and the Service department said there was a recall but it has since expired and want to charge me about $2000 to replace the manufacturer failed dashboard. I am the original owner and I never received a recall notice from Toyota or the dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle. The dash has been sticky and reflective for over 2 years now. If I cannot get this resolved with no cost replacement from Toyota, I will contact my attorney.

The dashboard is sticky and there is a shiny coat which makes it hard to see out of the front window. It is also causing the window to get a hazy film on the front window. I have owned this car since driving it off the lot brand new. I realize there was a recall for the dashboard and a warranty enhancement which expired in 2019. I spoke with Toyota corporate and they will not honor the recall because the enhancement warranty expired. Having said that, I am being penalized for keeping my car in great shape, working condition. I take pride in my vehicles and for this reason the dashboard lasted longer than the warranty of 2019. The fact still remains that this is a safety hazard with regards to seeing out the front window at night because of the reflection on the shiny/sticky dash. I called my nearby Toyota Dealership and the cost to replace the dash is $2069.68 including parts and labor. Please look into this matter as its about principle and Toyota should back their warranty especially since this is a safety issue.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THUS, IT HAS BECOME SHINY AND HINDERS VIEW SIGNIFICANTLY. IN ORDER TO DRIVE. A DARK CLOTH, ETC IS PLACED ON DASH TO ELIMINATE SHINE AND RESTORE PROPER VIEWING. IN ADDITION BOTH VISORS ARE REMOVED DUE TO FLOPPING DOWNWARD. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO PREVENTION OF SUN GLARE WHILE DRIVING. THE COMBINATION OF BOTH ISSUES MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE WHICH CAUSES MUCH ANXIETY. BOTH ISSUES WERE RECALLS BUT AS THE 2ND OWNER I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A 2010 CAMRY WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2012.

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB (08/20/2019 12:23 PM) MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO AN UNCLEANABLE TARLIKE STICKY SUBSTANCE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT. I HAVE TO BEND SIDEWAYS TO SEE AROUND IT TO DRIVE. PLEASE EMAIL ME HOW I CAN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD. QUESTION REFERENCE # 190820-000288 DATE CREATED: 08/20/2019 12:23 PM CT ON MAY 1, 2014, MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD STARTED LOOKING GREASY AND SHINY. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAR CLEANING SOLUTIONS, WHICH AT THE TIME DID HELP. I TRIED PURE RUBBING ALCOHOL. I EVEN TRIED A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO BE WASHED AND DETAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE STICKY SOLUTION OFF AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER., WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR DATE AND TO CONTACT TOYOTA, SO ON AUGUST 20, 2019. I CONTACTED TOYOTA.COM AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR END DATE AND THAT I CAN PAY MY TOYOTA DEALER TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD MYSELF.. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE EXTENDED DATE OR ANY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY SENT THEM OUT AND IF I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THIS ON A PHONE CALL TO ME. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT THEIR RESPONSE IN WRITING. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR, SO I THINK OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

IN STATE OF OHIO THEY ISE THIS SITE TO DETERMINE IF YOUR CAR IS GASOLINE POWER, ELECTRIC L, OR HYBRID. AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY SAY YOUR COMPANY HAS MY CAR LISTED AS HYBRID FOR A 2010. AND MY CAR IS ACTUALLY GASOLINE V6 XLE. WHAT KIND OF PROOF DO I NEED TO SHOW BESIDES PICTURES OF MY ENGINE OR A LETTER FROM A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP?

MY TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD THAT TOYOTA HAVE REPLACED FOR 3.4 MILLION CARS BUT THEY SAID WE WERE 14 DAYS OUT OF THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. WE NEVER HAD AN Y NOTICE FORM THEM. WE CALLED HEAD OFFICE WHO SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE OUR OWNER DETAILS SO COULD NOT SEND US ANY NOTICES. WE GAVE THEM OUR DETAILS BUT THEY SAID WE WERE STILL NOT ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED EVEN THOUGH WE WERE NEVER INFORMED.

THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEAL (JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA, ALEXANDRIA VA), AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO NOTIFY FOR RECALL SAFETY ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR @2,171.46 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' TOYOTA'S METHODS TO NOTIFY ARE INADEQUATE AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING - ME AND MANY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND TOYOTA'S WARRANT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY DO SUCH A POOR JOB OF CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF ROAD GLARE AT NIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN. I HOPE THE NTSB CAN PLEASE ADVANCE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 CAMRY HAS DEGRADED OVER TIME, BECOMING STICKY AND SHINY. IT IS NOW AFFECTING VISIBILITY DUE TO THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS IN SUNNY WEATHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN AN EARLIER RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

THE CAR'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED FROM SUN EXPOSURE, LEAVING A SHINY, GLOSSY, STICKY COATING ON IT THAT, WHEN HIT BY THE SUN AT CERTAIN ANGLES, CAUSES A BLINDING GLARE INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES AND A BRIGHT REFLECTION OF THE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, RESULTING IN LIMITED VISIBILITY AND BLIND SPOTS. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSED BY MATERIALS OF INSUFFICIENT QUALITY AND ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A SECONDARY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS AND DID NOT KNOW THE PROBLEM WAS WIDESPREAD AND MATERIAL-RELATED UNTIL I RECENTLY FOUND THAT INFORMATION ONLINE. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD HAS NOW EXPIRED, BUT IN CASES LIKE MINE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH A CONDITION THAT UNNECESSARILY CAUSES A SAFETY DEFICIENCY.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY SISTER BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AND HAD THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL FOR IT FROM TOYOTA.

AT FIRST MY SUN VISOR FELL OFF ONE EVENING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BLOCK THE SUN FROM DISRUPTING MY VIEW. THEN AS TIME WENT BY, MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AND BECOMING STICKY. LIKE A GOO. THERE IS DIRT AND OTHER DEBRIS STUCK TO IT. VERY GROSS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN, WITH SO MUCH DIRT ON IT I FEEL IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MY KIDS AND MYSELF. I TALKED TO TOYOTA A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY FLAT OUT TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID, BUT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE GOO CAUSES A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE SINCE IT HAS FALLEN OFF. I AM ASKING FOR TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

SUN VISORS HAVE DEFECTIVE PART AND FAIL TO GO ALL THE WAY AGAINST WINDSHIELD AND EVENTUALLY THE PART BREAKS AND VISOR IS UNABLE TO BE PROPERLY PUT UP (AGAINST THE ROOF OF CAR) AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN NOT IN USE. VISOR HANGS IN FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING AND IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AHEAD AND CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TOYOTA EVIDENTLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN/ WARRANTY EXTENSION WHEREIN THEY WOULD REPAIR FOR SEVEN YEARS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE FOR 2007-2011 VEHICLES. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE. HAD THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2015, YET SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PUBLISHED AND WELL-KNOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN OBSTRUCTION TO MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN DRIVING AND HAS CREATED SOME HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WOULD A RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I DROVE TO WORK ONE DAY, PARKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT AT LUNCH, UNHOOKED THE VISOR AND TRIED TO USE IT. I WAS PROBABLY STATIONARY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MOVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED.

ON REVIEWING NUMEROUS INTERNET ARTICLES ABOUT THIS, IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA MAY NOT BE SERIOUSLY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME WHAT MECHANICAL DEFECT IS IN PLAY.

THE CARPET WAS NOT PULLED BACK AND INSPECTED UNTIL A FORMAL COMPLAINT WAS MADE WITH TOYOTA NATIONAL. MOLD WAS PRESENT AND PHOTOGRAPHED. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR WERE SUBJECT TO OTHER FORMS OF WATER LEAKS AND SEPARATE MOLD FORMED THERE ALSO. CONSUMER SUGGESTION OF A MOISTURE SENSOR IN THE LOW POINTS OF THE BODY TO NOTIFY THE OWNER OF AN ISSUE VIA A WARNING LIGHT. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS ODORS ARE NOXIOUS AND IRRITATING AND AFFECT BREATHING RESPIRATIONS AND OVERALL HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING IN PERSISTENT COUGH.

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE HEAT UNTIL I WASN'T ABLE TO CLEAN IT OR REMOVE THE STICKINESS AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR,AS THE DASH HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT LEAVES AN IMPRINT OR INDENTION. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT STICKS TO IT. WHEN YOUR DIVING THERE IS GLARE FROM THE RESIDUE THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND SINCE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND YOU CAN'T CLEAN IT OFF THAT MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. TOYOTA HAS REPLACE SEVERAL DASHES, BUT HAT ABOUT THE ONES THAT HAVE BROKEN DOWN AFTER THERE TIME FRAME HAS ELAPSED? MINE DIN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THEIR TIME FRAME EXPIRED, SO I'M I JUST OUT OF LUCK AND I'M SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THEIR INFERIOR PRODUCT? I'M WORRIED THAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THE DASH WOULD JUST CRUMBLE AND NOT PROTECT MY FAMILY OR MYSELF. I NEED HELP, I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I HAVE TO SINCE IT'S MY ONLY ONE.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) FROM:[XXX] SUBJECT:TOYOTA COMMENTS: I RECALL A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MILITARY AIRCRAFT, IN WHICH THE ENGINEERS (MYSELF INCLUDED), COULD NOT ISOLATE A SYSTEM ERROR. IT WAS REPEATEDLY FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS. THE PROBLEM FELL DOWN TO A FIRMWARE ERROR, ON WHICH THE SOFTWARE WAS RUNNING. THE FIRMWARE LOGIC CODE WAS A THIRD PARTY PROVISION TO THE SYSTEM, AND NONE OF THE ENGINEERS HAD REAL ACCESS TO THE LOGIC CIRCUITRY. THE FIRMWARE TESTED FINE, AND RAN THE TEST CODE AS WELL, WITH NO ERRORS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, THAT THE SYSTEM THREW THE ERRORS. SINCE IT WAS THE FIRMWARE THAT THREW THE ERRORS, NONE OF THE SENSORS OR ANY OF THE SYSTEM LOGS CAUGHT THE PROBLEM. THE VENDOR OF THE FIRMWARE "ASSUMED" IT WAS ALWAYS THE USER CODE "THE OEM" THAT WAS AT FAULT, AND ANY LOG WAS AIMED AT MONITORING THE SOFTWARE EXECUTION, AND NOT THE FIRMWARE PROCESSING. IN WATCHING THE MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURER COME TO HIS KNEES, IT STRUCK ME AS TO HOW SIMILAR, THE SITUATION SEEMS IN THIS CASE, TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCED, IN THE AIR FORCE. PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE SOME MODICUM OF CONSIDERATION TO THE FIRMWARE ARCHITECTURE IN YOUR INVESTIGATION, AND NOT JUST THE SOFTWARE. JUST A THOUGHT FOR YOU TO HAVE FUN WITH.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY IN OCT-2009 AND I REALIZED AFTER 2-3 WEEKS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THERE. THE RPM GOES HIGH (AND TRIES TO STAY THERE) WHEN DOWN-SHIFTING EVEN WITHOUT THE LEG IS OFF THE GAS PADDLE. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT DOWNSHIFTING MAY INCREASE RPM BUT THEN I FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO STAY THERE BY MEANS OF SOME UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION. WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, I JUST IGNORED THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND LET THEM MESS IT UP FURTHER. I THOUGHT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT IS A NEW CAR. AFTER FEW MILES DRIVEN, THE ISSUE WILL GO AWAY. BUT WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION IN JANUARY 2010, I REALIZED THAT THE ISSUE IS MORE SERIOUS AND I SHOULD NOT IGNORE ANY MORE. I WENT TO DEALER BUT AS I EXPECTED, THEY DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN. I WENT FOR THE RECALL TOO BUT IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. BEING AN ENGINEER, I MYSELF HAVE ESTABLISHED FEW SIMPLE TEST CASES WHERE ONE CAN PROVE THAT THERE IS DEFINATELY SOMETHING WRONG IN THE CAR. AND IF THE CAR RUNS AS PER DESIGN, THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE DESIGN ITSELF. I KNEW IN ADVANCE THAT TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE SO THAT I CAN KEEP ON DRIVING IT NICELY FOR YEARS TO COME BUT I NEVE EXPECT IT TO BE GOING TO GARAGE FOR SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS! I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTORY ANSWER/SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM SO FAR.

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. MY CAR HAS DRIVEN "DIFFERENTLY" SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I WILL BE AT A STOP LIGHT, AND IT WILL JUST START MOVING-EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT FEELS LIKE IT DRIVES IN CRUISE CONTROL AND JUST DOESN'T LET UP. AFTER THIS RECALL, I AM 100% NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. IS THIS HOW IT STARTS? I CALL THE 800 # AND SIT ON HOLD FOREVER, OR I AM TOLD FURTHER INFORMATION IS FORTHCOMING. I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY AND HAVE A SMALL CHILD. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW, IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. *TR
