I PURCHASED A 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE HYBRID ON NOVEMBER 3, 2014. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE EMITS A FOUL ORDER WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO TRIED TO TELL ME THAT ALL CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, AND TOYOTA IS STILL PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO DO A FOAM CLEAN OF THE SYSTEM AND INSTALL A CHARCOAL FILTER FOR THE TUNE OF $150 WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND WE ARE JUST NOW COMING IN TO WARM WEATHER IN MY PART OF THE US, SO THAT'S WHY I'M NOTICING THE SMELL AT THIS TIME.

2DP22005 · Pedestrian Alert Sounds
Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System
NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
DP19004 · Brake Actuator Valve Wear
Opened Sep 30, 2019 · Closed Jan 21, 2021
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:power Assist
On September 19, 2019, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a defect petition from Mr. Roger Hogan requesting that the Agency investigate and recall certain Toyota Prius, Prius PHV, Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid vehicles for a brake actuator valve wear condition covered under Toyota Customer Support Programs ZJB and ZKK (subject CSP?s). In support of his request, the petitioner identified 117 NHTSA complaints allegedly related to the subject CSP condition, including 60 reporting crashes. On September 30, 2019, ODI opened Defect Petition DP19-004 to evaluate the petitioner?s request for an investigation. In August 2020, the petitioner notified the Agency that he was withdrawing his petition. Because the petitioner has withdrawn the petition, we are denying the petition as moot and no further analysis of this petition is necessary.NHTSA is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and remedy of a defect if the Agency?s investigation shows a defect in the design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 U.S.C. ?? 30102(a)(9), 30118. Because the petitioner has with withdrawn the petition, the petition is denied as moot. This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency notes that it is not required to receive a defect petition prior to opening a defect investigation and will take further action if warranted by future circumstances.
