   My 2019 Toyota Camry is experiencing repeated door lock actuator failures that I believe create a serious safety hazard. The affected component is the door lock actuator, which controls the electronic locking and unlocking of the door, and the failed components are available for inspection upon request. The problem began with intermittent failures where a door would not lock or unlock from the inside, outside, or remote key fob. The most serious incident involved my…

   The power panoramic sunroof is malfunctioning. The sunroof intermittently fails to open or close properly and may become stuck in the tilted/open position. The motor makes clicking/grinding noises, and the automatic open/close function does not consistently work. Multiple attempts with the switch are sometimes required, and the sunroof has become difficult or impossible to close. This creates a safety concern because the sunroof may remain open and cannot reliably be closed.

   The most definite sign is when you press the button and three doors lock, but one doesn't. Strange Noises: You may hear a buzzing, grinding, or clicking sound from inside the door when you try to use the power locks. This sound like a small motor inside the actuator struggling to work and causing the alarm not to armed the vehicle. Intermittent Operation: The lock might work one day and not the next, or it may be slow to respond. But is now happening everyday now.

   Component/System failed: The electronic control module (ECM) and related wiring were compromised by a dealer-installed Lojack anti-theft system. The device was spliced into wiring near the airbag system and ECM, causing repeated faults. The component remains in the vehicle and is available for inspection. Safety risks: 1. Wiring near airbags may interfere with deployment. 2. ECM faults risk stalling, loss of power, or emissions failure. 3. Hidden wiring increases…

   Driving along, went to pass someone and the ICS malfunction came on, reduce speed and visit dealer. The Camry had no “juice”. It shook. I put on emergency lights and drove on the side of the road. Pulled over and turned off car. Turned back on and there were no warning lights on. I drove to Toyota dealership and they diagnosed it as “ignition coil” was bad and it had misfired that’s why the malfunction light came on. Needless to say, the car has 39,005 miles on it!!!

   On three separate occasions the Pre Collision System has inappropriately activated while driving at high speeds. It seems to occur during dusk/dark and when it is raining. Two out of the three times it applied the brake, which easily could have resulted in an accident. I inspected the wiring for one of the sensors underneath the hood which appears fine. The sensors were cleaned off in all of these instances.

    The car randomly slams on the brakes even when you aren’t near anything. Yes it’s available for inspection. The safety problem is you could be rear ended at any time when this occurs. My husband was driving on the freeway at high speeds when it happened one time. The other incidents happened to me thankfully at a slower speed but while moving on the road. Also while pulling out or into parking spots. I know it is a safety feature so you don’t hit things but I know how to…

    You absolutely can not pull out in traffic because the car has a horrible lag, it’s as if it stalls at initial acceleration. Whether it’s pulling out of a side street, setting off from a stop light, or occasionally while already moving and speeding up. When stepping on the vehicle’s accelerator pedal, there was a lag of around five seconds or so before the vehicle started to accelerate at all. Yes it’s available for inspection upon request. The safety issue is the car can…
