Maintenance light came on and gave it for service at toyota dealership in fremont on 11/12/2017. They performed a 60,000 miles major service. Three days later, major break failure on 11/15/17. Toyota dealership and toyota manufacturer refused to take responsibility. This IS caused by replacing the break fluid and this IS not necessary at 60,000 miles service. The car IS at the toyota dealership and they are asking for $4,000 to fix it. I read the consumer report and this IS a known problem. Toyota should take full responsibility to fix this problem.

While driving on city streets I heard a "thunking" noise coming from the back tires. when I got out of the car and did a visual inspection all tires appeared to be properly inflated. I then got on the freeway and after driving about a mile in the slow lane at 65mph. I suddenly heard a loud explosive sound coming from the right rear tire and saw what appeared to be smoke coming from the back. I was able to safely pull onto the shoulder and call emergency road assistance. the tire had literally come completely apart from the wheel and parts were shredded into strips. had I been in any lane other than the right-hand lane I could have lost control of the vehicle. my vehicle IS a 2015 camry hybrid with only 16000 miles. this IS the second tire incident I've had with the bridgestone firestone tires that came with the car, which I purchased new. the first instance was a flat tire that occurred when the car only had 5,000 miles. I have now replaced all four tires with michelins.

My panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered on my 2015 camry hybrid. I was entering the 101 freeway in paso robles, ca, traveling south into very light traffic (1:30 p.m.). approx. 3/4 of a mile later into my freeway transition there was a explosion-like sound. My initial response was to look out my back window, where I noticed dark-colored glass was flying away from the car. A freeway overpass was not in play, I was traveling a full lane away from the north bound center divider, and the area to the immediate right of my car was a grassy area. My car was not hit by a foreign object; stone, bolt, etc., as there was no other damage to the vehicle. Upon taking my car to the toyota dealership, I was informed that it could have only been caused by an flying object like a stone. however, as I searched the internet, I became aware thatexploding /shattering sunroofs has not been a occasional happening, as hundreds of testimonies on the internet indicate otherwise.most all auto manufacturers are involved. Nbc-tv new york, on february 24, 2015 did a news piece on this very subject. I would strongly encourage the nhtsa to thoroughly investigate this important matter.

- 11007455Some 2005 2024 Toyota vehicles that have undergone water intrusion may exhibit a condition in which a musty odor is present. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to remediate the odor and address this condition. The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to provide general guidelines and procedures for odor remediation. This Service Bulletin provides a guide on how to prepare and treat the interior of the vehicle for odor remediation. Refer to the applicable model and model year Repair Manual and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website for the most up-to-date safety and precautionary guidelines. This Service Bulletin is to provide a general overview and direction for the odor remediation process.
- 11007445The condition known as acid rain is caused by airborne chemicals or particles in the atmosphere, which mix with rainwater, nighttime dew, or high humidity to form acidic compounds. If these contaminants settle and remain on a painted vehicle surface, especially the horizonal areas of the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage can occur. This damage is the result of actual etching of the paint and appears as pitting or water spots. As acid rain droplets on the vehicle surface evaporate, the concentration strength of the acid increases, causing deeper and more rapid damage. This evaporation and corrosive action also occur more rapidly on dark colored cars as direct sun heat increases. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. In areas known for high frequency and/or concentration of acid rain (see Figure 1), frequent vehicle washing during high heat or humidity periods will minimize the potential for paint damage caused by acid rain. It is further recommended that either reverse osmosis or deionized water be used to prevent water spotting.
- 11007444To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will be used instead of a cardboard type of anti-rust cover. The purpose of the wheel film is to shield the disc brake rotor from weather elements and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film should remain on the wheel for as long as possible.
- 11007443Acid rain results from rainwater or other airborne moisture that become acidic due to industrial chemical impurities in the atmosphere. If these acidic compounds settle on an exposed vehicle, especially the horizontal areas such as the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage to the painted surfaces can occur. Acid rain damage can typically be identified on vehicles by the presence of stains on the paint surface that resemble hard water spots. Unlike water spots however, acid rain damage cannot be removed by regular washing procedures. Also, because acid rain can etch and soften the paint, normal buffing or polishing repair procedures should not be attempted. This can cause further damage and result in visible depressions in the paint surface. The following are the three major categories of acid rain damage: Minor damage: requires only buffing to repair. Moderate damage: usually requires neutralizing, color sanding, and buffing. Severe damage: extending beyond 1/2 mil of clearcoat on a pearl, metallic, or solid color, requires neutralization, sanding, and repainting. In cases where acid rain damage is minor, neutralization and buffing with a liquid-type paint finessing product may provide an adequate repair. Only specially formulated products outlined in this bulletin should be used for that purpose. Unfortunately, other than minor damage, there is no simple method of determining the actual extent (depth) of acid penetration other than color sanding a representative affected area until there is no visible etching or depressions, followed by measuring the amount of paint removed with either a magnetic or digital-type film thickness gauge. The procedures in this bulletin are intended for use by qualified body/paint technicians and should not be attempted by inexperienced personnel. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. Perform frequent vehicle washing, as often as daily, during high heat and humidity periods to minimize the potential for paint damage due to acid rain exposure. This is especially important in geographical areas known for high frequency and concentration of acid rain and industrial fallout.

- 11005153Toyota vehicles are currently protected with RapgardTM protective film designed to protect the horizontal painted surfaces. This material protects from acid rain, environmental fallout, and rail contamination.
- 11005149Vehicles may occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc. This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small, red or brown particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color paints but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such as the hood, roof, or deck lid.
