Mileage when the problem started
Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2014 Toyota Camry owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at AAA for an inspection, the technician informed her that the control arm had detached from the ball joint. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
I have checked and haven't see any recalls for this issue. and i've paid several hundred dollars to fix these issues several time The Sway Bars from Both side of my suspension system have failed twice, as in coming loose and you can hear it clanking loosely 1. had left side it fixed in or 2016/2017 2. had right side fixed in 2020 3. Now having the same issue, but not sure which one it is, because i haven't had time take it to a repair shop again. I am sure my car 2014 model VIN # isn't the only one that has had or is having this issue. I don't have all this money to keep getting this fixed, it's a defect somewhere with the front end of this model year car. Its like whatever is holding this up, there is something wrong with that mechanism.
Starting in 2023, around 80,000 miles, my 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid has started pulling to either side under braking. I replaced the pads & rotors at my local Toyota dealer in September and it actually made the problem worse. November 22 of this year, the master technician at my dealership found multiple lower suspension bolts loose. They re-torqued everything to spec and the issue has not been resolved. I have reached out to Toyota corporate and informed them of the issue. Parts have been ordered for a separate Customer Support Program to fix the brake booster system, which makes noise in the pedal, but is independent of this complaint. We will be reinspecting in greater detail to provide information to Toyota.
While driving at highway speeds the steering seems to "stick" a little. I would explain it as the front end seems to pull from side to side, and then the drive wheels seen to stick so you have to fight with the steering wheel to get the vehicle to maintain lane travel. The dash lights came on that same night when this started. Maintenance req, airbag, seatbelt, battery, brake, low tire pressure, and traction Control lights all came on. They remain on and have not gone off.
the left front suspension lower arm making weird noises while driving. Looks like it is related to open recall on same model "t he left front suspension lower arm may have an improperly manufactured bolt hole where it connects to the ball joint." But my vehicle in not included in open recall - called up toyota customer service and they asked me to go thru NHTSA.
Driving down highway at 60mph. Vehicle down the road slowed to enter merchant lot. Applied brake. Something snapped, steering locked, wheels locked, tires kicked out. Total loss of control of the vehicle. Skidded down the road until impacting the other vehicle on the side, pushing it back into traffic and continuing several feet until coming to rest in the ditch about 30 feet from several vehicles in the merchant lot. Tie rod broke. No airbags deployed, though I was told it was because of where my vehicle was hit was why they didn't deploy.
Complete replacement required of both rear wheel bearings, backing plates, brake calipers, pads and rotors, with recommended replacement of tires, on a vehicle with less than 52,000 miles. Because the vehicle is out of warranty, the initial repair estimate was almost $4000.00. The dealer, however, agreed to repair for about $2500.00 (pass through cost of parts). This matter came to light upon hearing a 'screeching' noise when the vehicle was moving - the screeching noise suggesting a wheel bearing was failing. Manufacturer alleges replacement is needed due to exposure of these parts to road salt. However, I have owned numerous other vehicles that were exposed to road salt and never experienced such problems. Contrary to the manufacturer's allegation, I suspect a design or manufacturing defect in these parts. …
At 59000 miles the transmission torque converter was replaced .shortly after that I noticed the car seems to be all over the road . This has gotten much worst.specially on windy days . Can not take a exit or change lanes with out feeling like the rear end is going to break free . If on the highway and road comes into a curve feels like your going to loose control . I've had several repair shops look at this car . They drove it and experienced it . Wast told how do you drive that car. Contacted Toyota several times do have a file number. Requesting to meet a rep at anylocal dealer to test drive this car . Was told they don't do that. Was told to take it back to dealer who did transmission if related repair under warranty . …
I filed several complaints about the tires bouncing and excessive vibration coming from the front end of the vehicle. I was told by the dealer that it was a tire problem, and that I should try 40 lbs. Of air instead of the recommended 35 lbs. I contacted a local Bridgestone dealer and was told not to exceed the recommended pressure. The Toyota dealer acknowledged there were a lot of similar complaints and that it was the fault of the tires,. I have 12,000 miles on the car and the front tires are worn out and Toyota is refusing to de anything. I believe the problem is caused by the ball joints or front end suspension, but can't get anywhere with Toyota. If it's an ongoing tire problem as the dealer says why hasn't it been addressed. If it is a manufacturing defect why hasn't it been addressed. …
