| While going down the street and braking at around 15 mph i noticed a creaking noise. the noise continued while braking, and going over railroad tracks and uneven pavements. i took my vehicle to the toyota dealer in town to have the problem checked out. they found out that the body structure was messed up. the (a-pillar) was not connected to the main frame. they told me there was nothing they could do about the problem, that i would have to take it to a body shop to be welded, they also said and gave me paperwork saying it was a defect in the 2007-2011 toyota models. *tr | |||

| Since the past 60 days there has been a popping, creaking and metal flexing noise emanating from the roof panel especially pronounced when crossing over any uneven pavement surface, the noise began at 40,000 miles, 4000 miles after the manufacturer warranty expired, my research shows that this is an inherent problem with several toyota models especially the camry and has been evident since model year 2007 with sun/moon roof installations, on contacting the dealership i was informed that they are aware of the problem and is almost always related to the sunroof frame/guide rails/insulation and have repaired it on it numerous occasions all being under warranty since the warranty has expired on my vehicle i was directed to contact toyota customer service, on contacting toyota customer service i was refused any assistance and acknowledgement of the problem, per my research the problem has escalated in some cases to the sunroof shattering causing a major driving and health hazard and possible severe injuries from collisions and/or cuts from shattering glass. toyota customer service refuses to admit there is a flaw in the design and assembly of vehicles equipped with sun/moon roof and refuse to remedy the problem by claiming expiration of warranty. references: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/310-7th-generation-2012/418639-2012-camry-xle-roof-noise.html http://brianmorristech.com/?p=939. *tr | |||

| Purchased 2010 toyota camry in 12/10/09. car/tire was wobbling, felt that alignment was out. i took vehicle to dealer on 12/21/09. i was told that one of the tires was off. dealer service just rebalanced rear passenger tire and inflated well beyond required psi's. car continued to wobble, and drive with a distortion in ride and have to hold steering wheel to the left to keep the car straight. went back for service on 1/23/10. again, service admitted radial pull. they rebalance the wheels, and realigned the car and that didn't correct the problem. dealer put 4 new tires and realigned. problem continued. car is not sitting on the frame properly but service will not admit it. took car to service again on 2/13/10. again a 4 wheel alignment was performed and didn't fix the problem. took to service again 3/8/10 complained that car isn't driving properly, i have to hold my steering wheel a certain way to keep the car driving straight. went for a test drive due to the distortion, wobbling of car and was told that toyota tires roll from left to right. incredible! the car accelerates when coming to a stop and steering wheel is turned to the left to go straight. one side of the car is higher than the other. when i asked what was done to the car, i was told that they made some adjustments and was dismissed. people driving behind me flash their lights at me and i've been stopped and told that my car is crooked . i can feel it and see the same thing. service inflated my tires to over 42psi's. that's too much air. this car is still drifting to the right or left depending upon which way the tires are moving from left to right, in which i was told this is a toyota thing. insulting! i feel this was done in order to mask whatever the real problem is. i traded a 2004 camry that had the same issues. i had over 30 alignments, 4 brake jobs, a steering shaft replaced and 4 sets of tires in 4 yrs. i have documentation on that car. this car is doing the same thing. feel unsafe. *tr | |||
