2011 Toyota Camry Wheels Problems

Your ball joint on the driver's side wheel is leaking oil and making clicking noises when you turn the wheel, which matches a 2014 recall for premature ball joint wear. A worn or failing ball joint can separate from the knuckle and cause you to lose control of your vehicle. You'll need to have the ball joint inspected and replaced to restore proper steering control and safety.

I RECENTLY HAD A FLAT TIRE AFTER HITTING SOMETHING LAYING ON A BRIDGE AND WENT TO PLACE MY SPARE TIRE ON MY VEHICLE, AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. BROUGHT THE CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND THEY COULD ALSO NOT REMOVE THE LUG NUTS AND SAID THEY WERE SWOLLEN VERY BAD AND NONE OF THEIR TOOLS FIT. OVERALL THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE SWOLLEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVER SAFETY CAUSING DRIVERS TO DRIVE ON FLAT TIRES UNTIL REACHING A PLACE THEY CAN PUT AIR INTO THEIR TIRES. ALSO, THE FACT THAT AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS CAN NOT TAKE OFF THE LUG NUTS EITHER MEANS COSTLY REPAIRS FOR THE DRIVER.

I WAS ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, UNTIL I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABOUT TO EXCEED 40 MPH. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN, BACK OF THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE TRACTION. I STARTED TO APPLY VERY LIGHT PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR. I LOOKED WHERE I WANTED TO GO AND MADE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE STEERING WHEEL, UNTIL THE CAR WOULD STOP DRIFTING FROM LANE TO LANE. THE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS DID NOT HELP, AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE CAR WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, THEN THE RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. AS SOON AS THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE LEFT, IT HIT A DITCH COVERED WITH ROCKS THAT SWUNG THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICED THAT THE RPMS OF THE CAR WENT UP FROM 1,500 RPM TO (ABOUT) 6,000 RPM AND I WAS ALSO ABLE TO REGAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER SLIGHTLY, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE CAR. AS THE CAR WAS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT INTO A TREE, RATHER THAN THE SMALL RAVINE IN FONT OF IT AND RISK MY LIFE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HIT DEEP POTHOLES WERE THEY WERE DO CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROADS AND THE HUBCAPS CAME OFF ON THE SAME SIDE AT THE SAME TIME.

NOTICED A LARGE KNOT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS EARLIER. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER OF COOPER TIRES AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF WE HAD FAILED TO NOTICE THIS, IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. BEING ON THE FRONT, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRO RATED RATE. AFTER READING ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT, WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH BRANDS. THE TIRES HAVE NOT HELD UP TO THE MILAGE THAT WAS ADVERTISED. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE MILES ON THEM BUT THEY ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE WEAR BARS. WE HAVE RECORDS AND ALL THE PROPER MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON THESE TIRES. THESE WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAMERY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

I EXPERIENCED A SITUATION WITH BRAKE NO RESPONSES AFTER I STEP BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES AND FELT LIKE CAR ACCELERATING ON MAY 19TH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON ON A HIGHWAY WITH CAMRY 2011. IT WAS RAINING AND THE DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT COULD HAPPEN??. THE DEALER CHECKED THE DATA AND LET A FIELD TECHNICIAN CHECKED, THEN TOLD ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PUMP THE BRAKE TO REDUCE SPEED, THE CAR SMARTLY LET THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED IN TO AVOID LOCKING THE WHEEL, WHICH IS THE REASON WHAT I WAS FEELING BRAKE DID NOT RESPONSE AND ACCELERATING. BUT I ACTED SO QUICKLY TO TURN THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY CURB TO AVOID CRASH INTO THE FRONT CAR, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS CHECK THE DEALER CONFIRMED WITH ME THE CAMRY FUNCTIONED NOTHING WRONG AND IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY RECALL REGARDING THE TOYOTA ACCELERATOR ISSUE! MAYBE IT IS TRUE, BUT AT LEAST THEY DID NOT CONVINCE ME WHY BRAKES SYSTEM DID NOT WORK ONCE ABS ENGAGED. I THINK THERE MUST BE A BUG IN THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE ABS SYSTEM CAUSING BRAKES NO PRESSURE NO RESPONSE AT ALL DURING THAT CRITICAL MOMENT. HOW DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG LIKE THAT IN MY CAMRY 2011 ?? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, HE DROVE OVER A ROCK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW. AS A RESULT OF THE BLOWOUT, THE RIM ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SPLIT IN HALF. THE CONTACT INSTALLED A SPARE TIRE AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE RIM REPLACED. THE RIM WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. UPDATED 11/01/2011 *LN *TR
