2016 Toyota Camry Other Problems

Your driver's door rattles when closed or while driving. A Toyota dealer found that the intrusion bar (a safety structural component inside the door) has a failed weld, which they confirmed is a safety issue. The only repair available is replacing the entire door, since the bar cannot be rewelded. The car has never been in an accident, suggesting a manufacturing defect. Replacing the door involves removing the old door and installing a new one with a properly welded intrusion bar.

Your engine mount (the part that holds the engine in place) has broken, causing your car to stall and lose the ability to move forward. This is a known problem in Toyota vehicles, but there's no recall for it. Because this can happen while you're driving, it's a safety concern that needs immediate attention.

Your car's beige paint is peeling all over the exterior. While Toyota has issued recalls for white and Blizzard Pearl colors with similar paint problems, your beige paint is experiencing the same issue. The fix would involve having the affected areas sanded down and repainted by a professional.

I parked my Toyota Camry Hybrid on my sloped driveway, and it wouldn't turn off, change gears, no response when gas pedal pressed. I called my insurance to tow it and while I was waiting, I tried to open the trunk to remove items. It wouldn't open, but somehow, I was able to get it into neutral thinking perhaps I could open the trunk. Not so. The car started rolling down the drive, bottomed out at the end, rolled across the street into a ditch. Fortunately, the ditch stopped it form hitting the 2 cars across the street and their house. It was still running. The neighbors all arrived to see me sobbing. The men tried to turn it off, but no luck. The insurance company totaled it because the frame was bent. I hadn't had my car very long and I was devastated. It was still drivable and I had to keep driving it even though the mechanic I took it to told me not to. The mechanic looked it over and could find no reason for the issue. I eventually found a used Toyota Avalon in silver, but not the beautiful sparkly red of the Camry. It made it onto America's Funniest Videos, but it's not funny. I tried to attach the video my Ring took, but I can't get it to attach. If you'd like to see me running down the driveway chasing it I can send you the video another way. It's on TikTok. Fortunately, I wasn't able to get into the car or the door would have flattened me. Sorry the pics are sideways. That's the way they loaded.

My car would not turn off, change gears out of park into drive or reverse, no reaction when the gas pedal was pushed. It was part way into the garage on an inclined driveway. I called my insurance company to have a tow truck help. I got out of the car to try and open the trunk and get my shopping out of it, but the trunk would not open either. I thought perhaps if I put the car in neutral it might open, but instead it rolled down the driveway, bottomed out at the end of the driveway, rolled across the street and crashed into the ditch. Thank goodness it hit the ditch because it was headed toward the neighbor's cars and house. It was still running when it stopped in the ditch! The neighbors all came out and tried to turn it off without success. The frame was bent, the rear end of the car was smashed and the insurance company said it was totaled. My car had been in perfect condition. I have since spoken with others who know of friends who have had the same issue. One person left their car running all night until it ran out of gas.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2016 CAMRY IN MAY 2016, BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE BETWEEN AXLES, IT PRODUCES A KNOCKING, POPPING, TICKING, OR SNAPPING NOISE FROM GOD KNOWS WHERE! I HAVE SPENT HOURS (FROM WORK WITH NO PAY) AT THE DEARERSHIP AND A TON OF MONIES TO GET NO SATISFACTION. I AM SUFFERING FROM PTSD AND THE NOISE & POPPING SOUNDS MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN. MANY TIMES I THOUGHT I HAD RAN OVER AN ANIMAL, HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP AND THESE ISSUES HAS CAUSE ME TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, HIT STREET SIGNS & ON MANY OCCASIONS UNABLE TO PERFORM MY DUTIES AT WORK.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION: MY PARTNER AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD, FRIGHTENING EXPLOSION ABOVE AND SLIGHTLY BEHIND FRONT DRIVER/PASSENGER SEATS. THERE WASN'T ANY VISIBLE SIGN OF BROKEN WINDOWS, BODY DAMAGE OR A WOBBLY TIRE TO INDICATE THE CAUSE. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND US. WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO OR BEHIND THE CAR TO HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CAR. NOR, WAS THERE ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN OPEN GRASSY AREAS. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS BEHIND OR ABOVE US TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS LOUD, SCARY NOISE. WE PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT TO EXAMINE THE CAR. WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE CAR OR THE TIRES, BUT WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOOR, WE COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF BROKEN GLASS ABOVE US FROM THE AREA OF THE SUNROOF. THERE WAS A VERY LARGE RECTANGULAR AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF THAT WAS MISSING. THE SURROUNDING GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. LATER WE COULD HEAR THE LARGE SECTION OF GLASS SLIDING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE ABOVE THE SHADE COVER WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP OR STARTED UP AFTER HAVING STOPPED.

DRIVERS SMILE REAR DOOR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. NO KNOWN REASON, NO INDICATION OF IMPACT UNIFORM SHATTERING.

MY, TOYOTA CAMRY 2016 HAS TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM, I CHECKED WITH COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND, MY FRIEND'S CARS WHO HAS SAME MODEL CAR ALSO HAS THAT PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON MARSHALL AVE. IN LONGVIEW TEXAS, TO SUPER 1 GROCERY STORE, AND TURN LEFT TO PARK IN FRONT OF THE STORE. WHEN I TURNED LEFT THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPING SOUND COMING FROM SUNROOF AREA. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT EVERY TIME I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AS LONG AS THERE IS AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE THAT CAUSES THE FRONT TIRES TO BE AT A DIFFERENT ELEVATION THAN REAR TIRES. THIS POSITION PRODUCES A TWISTING MOTION OF THE VEHICLE FRAME AND THAT IS WHEN THE ROOF POPING IS HEARD.

HIS LOOKS EXTREMELY SCARY!! WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY US 78 TOWARDS ATLANTA SUDDENLY I HEARD A WEARD SOUND THEN THE CAR APPEARS ATTEMPTING A HARD PRESS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD SHOWED CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM IN BOLD RED AND ANOTHER BRAKE LIGHT IS ON WHERE THE ODD METER IS. I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE THE HIGHWAY. STAYED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO CALL TOYOTA 800 331 4331 AND SENT EMAIL TO ASK TOYOTA. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THE CAR IS TOYOTA CAMRY 2016

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (APPROX 65 MPH) AND SUNROOF EXPLODED. NOTHING HAD HIT THE VEHICLE AND THERE HAD BEEN NO EXTREME TEMPERATURES OR FLUCTUATIONS.

THE DOORS WILL LOCK WHEN IN DRIVE BUT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY.ONLY IF THE OWNER,DRIVER DISABLES THE AUTO LOCKING SYSTEM.MOST OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE IDEA ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PURCHASED NO ONE WARNS US.ABOUT THIS SAFEFY ISSUE.I AM PRETTY SURE THAT ALL TOYOTAS HAVE THE SAME SETUP AS STANDARD FACTORY SETTING.

CAR HESITATES BEFORE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP OR FOLLOWING A TURN, THEN ACTS NORMALLY WHEN ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED

SHORTLY AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE THE AC UNIT WHEN ACTIVATED EMITS A MOLDY SMELL THROUGH THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 8512 MILES. I FEEL THIS MIGHT BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO ALLERGIC SYMPTOMS

WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND FOOT ON BREAK, CAMRY WAS MOVING FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BREAK . I PUSHED EVEN MORE HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD AND BREAK WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. FEARING OF HITTING THE CAR INFORMS OF ME I QUICKLY PUSHED THE GREAT FROM DRIVE TO PARK POSITION. VEHICLE CAME TO STOP 1 INCH FROM FRONT CAR REARE BUMPER. THIS WAS ON CITY STREET IN SAN FRANCISCO ABOUT 200 YARDS FROM 80EAST ENTRANCE, NO RAIN, ABOUT 70 DEGREE 6:45 PM. AFTER PUSHING THE GEAR TO PARK I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND START IT BACK UP. I FELT THE BREAK PEDAL GETTING HARDER AND BREAK WAS FIRM AND PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVE.

I OWN THIS CAR FROM NOV 2015. I PARKED CAR AND GOT OUT, A SMALL WIND CAUSED THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE, OPEN TOO MUCH (I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR-DOOR OPENING THAT MUCH, THOUGH I OWNED MORE THAN 18 CARS IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING IN US ROADS. IT WENT AND HIT AGAINST THE CAR PARKED ADJACENT NORMALLY THAT DOOR SHOULD NOT OPEN THAT WIDE, BECAUSE THERE MORE THAN NORMALLY HAS. I THINK IT HAS SOME PROBLEM WITH THE HINGE NOT HOLDING ENOUGH TO PREVENT THAT WIDE OPEN. IT WENT TO HIT THE MIRROR OF OTHER VEHICLE AND CAUSED DENT IN MY CAR. IT IS THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR WENT OUT THAT FAR.

BACKUP CAMERA ALIGNMENT HAS RECENTLY SHIFTED LOWER, WHICH NARROWS AND DISTORTS THE VISUAL FIELD DUE TO THE ANGLE CHANGE. DEALER CLAIMED IT IS NORMAL.

THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM HAS FAILED 3 TIMES IN SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 23 2015. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND IS ABOUT TO GO INTO REPAIR FOR THE FOURTH TIME. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS THE LAST TIME AND THE ISSUE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WHEN THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM FAILS IT STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS TO THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM STOPS WORKING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE WITH 1074 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS, AND NEEDS FURTHER SUPPORT DIRECTLY FROM TOYOTA USA TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I'VE INCLUDED 3 PHOTOS OF THE ERROR MESSAGE THAT APPEARS ON THE MESSAGE CONSOLE.

Your car's radio display screen has stopped working. The radio itself may still function, but you won't be able to see the screen or access its controls visually. A technician will likely need to diagnose whether the screen needs replacement or if there's an electrical connection issue.
