๐บ๐ธ toyota camry xv70 2021 [Electronics] Mileage: 25000
click to see larger images Purchased a new Toyota Camry Hybrid where, after driving 3720 miles, 'check engine' light turned on. Brought car to the dealer for fixing the problem but was later informed that the wiring system was damaged by rats and the warranty will not cover the repair. The rough estimate to fix was potentially about $6,000 which I am supposed to shoulder. I was also informed that this was a common occurrence on the Toyota. After searching the internet, I found out that this was a known problem due to past class-action lawsuits against Toyota. This was a potential safety hazard that would have caused me injuries at worse. Toyota should warn its buyers of the potential safety problems caused by rodents before selling. There should be a law passed to protect buyers from this kind of deception by Toyota for not properly informing buyers of this safety hazard.

Unexpectedly, my car's 12v battery discharged completely under conditions of regular use and moderate temperatures, while parked in my garage overnight. Car is 11 months old with 6327 miles. It was towed to Toyota repair shop, which re-charged the battery and installed dcm reset and firmware update t-sb-0095-20. The repair representative referred to possible problem with a recent auto software update that may have worn down battery with numerous incomplete (uninitiated) ignition starts. This software fix was applied for this specific instance, but is not being generally applied to all vehicles. The representative said that the problem was not caused by anything I did, and indicated I may want to watch for Toyota consumer notices for further repair. The Toyota technical service bulletin, dcm reset and firmware update t-sb-0095-20 (dated September 30, 2020, accessible online), indicates some 2020-2021 models may exhibit "depleted 12v vehicle battery when in ig-off". The software update is not being applied to all vehicles, and there was no assurance that the problem is fixed and will not occur again. As a driver, this leaves me vulnerable to being stranded without transportation, and reliant on help from strangers if parked in remote recreation areas without cell phone access; an unsafe situation.

I purchase a brand new 2020 Toyota Camry March 2020. On June 15, 2020 my vehicle was parked in my driveway and wouldn't start and had to be towed to the dealership. The doors would not lock and my dashboard displayed a malfunctioning system parking brake disabled. My car remain at the dealership for 4 days. On June 19 I picked up my vehicle. The Toyota technician stated the battery was good after performing a battery test using Toyota dca8000 test. The technician performed an update telematics module i9i-13 dcm to latest firmware to software version high at lg-n010ffb and software version low at cbc-98 or cbc-34 as applicable dealer techstream diagnostic tool. Ok this was suppose to be the fix to my problem. On Aug 19 the same issue happened again. Again I had my car towed to the same dealership. After a series of test they stated it was the battery, so they replaced the battery with a new battery. I didn't understand how it could be the battery when this is a brand new car with less than 12,000 miles on the vehicle. . On Jan 25, 2021 my vehicle was parked in my driveway and my car would start. The radio came on , the lights were working but the car wouldn't start, the steering wheel wouldn't move and the car wouldn't go into neutral. I had my car towed to my dealership again. Technician advise the next day had perform a dcm reset and firmware update for draining batteries to the 2020 Camry. This vehicle has not perform to the standards I expected since day of purchase March 2020. State of georgia will not allow you to submit a lemon law claim because vehicle was not out of commission for 30 days total. I am a very upset customer and will continue to file complaints with Toyota headquarters and possibly seek me a a consumer attorney. As much as I am paying for my vehicle I shouldn't have to continue to wait around for Toyota to get this problem correct.

I purchased my Camry in October. When starting it up in the morning for the past few weeks there was a slight hesitation. I attributed the issue to the cold temperatures and allowed the car to warm up before driving. Yesterday afternoon my car wouldn't start at all. It makes a clicking and rattling noise similar to an old clunker. I was parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I called the brown's Toyota dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was told to contact roadside assistance to have the car towed there. They were closing at 4p and would not be able to check out the car until Monday. They also informed me that I would have to pay for a loaner car upfront and be reimbursed if it was determined that I didn't cause the car not to start. So ridiculous. I shouldn't have this issue with a brand new car. From the looks of it reading through these other reports there's a serious issue with the 2020 Toyota Camry.

Rodents appear to be attracted to the engine compartment where they are eating critical wiring. The wiring is associated with the fuel injection system. I had the vehicle repaired with the dealership, costing me $600. After returning the vehicle from these repairs at the dealership, I parked the vehicle at home and again rodents entered the engine compartment and chewed up additional wiring the very next day. The new repairs cost me and additional $600. The home is located in a rural area under a carport. I have lived in this home for seven years and have other cars parked adjacent to the automobile in question. No other vehicles, however, have had or are having problems with rodents. I will be trading in this vehicle immediately. I can not afford these costly repair bills.
