This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Car stalls sometimes but hesitate every time I drive on streets with low speed limit. While accelerating from a stop sign or slow traffic flow, car hesitates for 2-3 seconds and then its fine. But this happens every time. On highway speed, it doesn't hesitate or stall unless I come to a stop and then try to accelerate.
Sirius xm radio has a radio device for cars that do not have a built in xm radio. The problem is that it comes with a 20 foot cord. It is meant to be placed on the dashboard. The cord goes through the car and is placed on top of the car. My cord got stuck in my steering wheel and snapped the clock spring. This is a very serious problem as all my capabilities were restricted. My horn, airbag and controls were not operable. This was because the clock spring got severed. It is a severe safety hazard. The vehicle was in motion.
While at a low rate of speed and usually coming to a stop, the brake, ABS, and stability traction control dash lights will illuminate in the dashboard and will not turn off until car is restarted. This happens almost every time I use vehicle since about two months ago, it does not seem to affect normal braking during nice weather outside. I am concern during wet weather, the ABS and/or traction control may fail and cause an accident. Car has only about 16,000 miles on the odometer, but unfortunately is out of 3 year warranty.
Had to replace my O2 sensor at my own cost of $430 due to a rodent chewing it. My engine light came in and this was why I got it checked. The mechanic at the dealer said rodents love the insulation on the wiring in these cars. I feel that soy based wiring is why this happened and was not my fault and should be covered by Toyota. My car is parked where 3 other older vehicles also park and they did not have an issue. Only my car was affected. This is a manufacturing issue that should be corrected by the manufacturer at their expense.
Battery died, battery was jumped and the windshield wipers switch fried and short circuited my entire electrical wiring. Resulting in $2,800 in damages. The car was stationary. There was recall on this problem for Camry's and I believe this wasn't fixed on mine.
