Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The seat in rocking back and forth. The track on the right side of the seat is the culprit. I have removed the seat to inspect it and there is no adjustment but it wasn't moving when I bought the car and it is getting worse every day. It is annoying to have the seat move when you are driving. It feels like it may come off sometime.”
NHTSA complaint #10933688, filed 2016-12, 70,000 miles“My 2012 Camry hybird with leather seats. My problem seems to be related to the weight of the previous occupant, ie, if over 200 lbs and it will probably work correctly. But if the exited occupant was less than 200 lbs, the air bag will alarm and message for the (former occupant) passenger to use the seat belt. I'm trying to get Toyota to correct the problem but they warn me that I may have to pay to correct something that never occured before their recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10817390, filed 2016-01, 25,500 miles“I drove this 2012 Camry on the high way to nashville tn for 8 days vocation started 28 june 2014, lot of water coming out from carpet, had to stop and clean water in every couple hours(my hand was injured when cleaning up water). After I arrived a hotel, I searched on the internet and found out that Toyota had a recall in dec 2013 on this A/C water leak, it can cause airbag warning light , electronic power steering light , or other problems. We are very worried about car may cause accident in the whole vocation. …”
NHTSA complaint #10618380, filed 2014-08, 24,100 miles“Driver's seat rocks back and forth and is loose on the track that secures it to the floor. After inspection by a certified Toyota dealership it was stated that this is normal . The condition seems to be getting worst as time goes on. Concern lies in whether or not the seat is securely bolted down (they confirmed it is) but is just loose within the track and if so what would happen in the case of a collision? The seat is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed.”
NHTSA complaint #10578438, filed 2014-04, 30,100 miles“Noticed that the air bag light is on constantly, the seat belt light keeps flashing and the passenger air bag light is always off even if a heavy adult is sitting in it. The seat belt light keeps flashing always. Noticed this but thought as most times drive alone thought that as there is no passenger in the passenger seat most of the times and attributed the cause of the flashing seat belt light for that.but now know that this is definitely a safety issue.”
