Do you guys camrys have the problem of getting hot inside(around the console, under the steering wheel)?

When i drive for about 30mins, after stopping the car and restart it again, hot air will flow inside( i think the hot air is from the engine and come inside via firewall).

What''s wrong? Is the engine too hot?

i havent noticed that on my car...and i drive for 1hr sometimes to get to Uni...

the dash and console will probably heat up a little bit...to a warm temperature, but not hot i wouldnt think :huh:

is your temp gauge showing any overheating?

oh btw, what engine you got? the 4-cyl or V6?

Actually it is not the same hot as heater, but it is really warm!! It makes the temp of inside quite higher than outside. It only happen when i start the car again after the first drive.

The engine is 4-cyl only. The temp gauge didn't show any overheating.

I have talked to the dealer, they just ask me to switch on the air con!! :angry:

Everytime i went to fix the problems, they actually fix nth, just waste my time!! Especially is the rattle noise, i jsut think they are deaf!!! :angry:

i guess there isnt much you can do if it is just warm...

you didnt park in the sun did you?

i guess you could try closing the a/c vents (ie: switch to inside circulation), that will stop the hotter air from getting into the cabin...

as for the rattles, where is the rattle coming from?

because ive got a few too, but i seem to have fixed (well softened) most of them...

just find which part is rattling, take it out, put blutak (yes blutak :P) where the part touches other parts, that should reduce the rubbing/rattling noises B)

i did that for my Radio Panel and A/C Vents, it seems to work ok :lol:

hahaha...... i have tried not to swith to inside circulation, just let the cool air in from outside, it is better.

the rattle is mainly from the roof!!

And i think there is a little part too loose under the steering wheel(the noise is from metal i think), so i can't take it out.

i think that should be normal. i mean of course you gonna get some warm air coming from the Center Console, but in my case very little.

you might wanna get some HEAT INSULATION Matting for the car. I'm thinking of putting them inside my HEADLINER + Summer is coming up.

it also depends how you drive the car.... If you were trashing it around, you'll definately get quite a warm air coming from the center console.

is your car still under warranty??

I suggest going to a different Toyota dealer, like anything there are good ones and bad ones all under the same banner.

Warranty items at the current place I go to they are more than happy to check out.....and fix.

I had the rear window rubber replaced and a twisted suspension part which would wreck the bushes over time (picked up over the pits in WA....even thought the car had only done 8,000kms) fixed no dramas

Thing is with good service you would not mind spending a little more on Genuine Sportivo accessories, as they come within the warranty.

yeah thats a good point.

so 'cocacola', which dealership are you talking to if you dont mind me asking?

i go to Phil Gilbert Toyota in Lidcombe (thats where i bought my car), and their service is really good i reckon :)

i got my a/c vent replaced under warrenty the other day, because it didnt have those opened and closed stickers on it :lol:

the person said, "we will just replace that under warrenty", no questions asked B)

i go to TerryShields Toyota in Parramatta. I bought 2 cars from them!!

And i just talk to the sales person about the problem today, then he rings the service department to discuss the problem with the service manager and customer relation manager. After that, i go to meet the service manager. After looking at the sun roof, he just tells me this noise can not be fixed as the sun roof is open up, noise must be there!! Damn! :angry: I just keep complain, then he asks me to come back and have a test drive with him!!

I just think my car is so annoying!! Everytime i go to Toyota, the problems must gone!! but when i go back to home, the problem must happen again!!

After making complain, complain and complain, and had test drive with 3 mechanics, the Dealer finally fixed all the problems, except noise from the roof.

They just tell me that noise can't be fixed because of the design of the sun roof. :blink:

whats wrong with the sunroof??? what kind of sound is it making?

When the sunroof open up, the noise will be there when the road surface is not good. (no noise when the sunroof slide open)

When the sunroof is close, the roof would be noise sometime. The noise is made by rubbing of plastic near the interior light which is on the roof.

(actually it is very hard to tell the exact sound)

have you try asking TOYOTA to off the headliner???

i have.

And they did 3 times already.

The noise is still there, but better than before.

I don't know that noise is normal or not as many people said any cars with sunroof must have noise.

with or without sunroof there should NOT be any noise, especialy since you got the new camry.

i dont know whats the problem myself. but what i can recommend you to do is get them to check it AGAIN or put sheet of sound deadener (just an idea, might help abit)

there might be an object inside the sunroof railling?

i just take out the interior light, i saw some sound deadener are already inside.

So, i don't know what can the dealer do if i bring my car back. :angry:

i'm not sure whats the warranty policy. 8 months is still fairly new to me. just take it back for the last time to Toyota.

I too have a slight problem with ambient air being a little warm after I've driven it, parked it, and take it out for another spin. I just switch on the air conditioning for about 30 seconds to rectify it.

As for some rattling in the roof headliner - I had the same problem. It was coming from the rear left of the roof, so I took it to Western Toyaota in Guildford yesterday, and they said that there were some loose wires in my roof. They tidied up all the wiring, reinforced it, and added some insulation to stop the noise from returning.

As for the sound from the sunroof, I also have this problem - only when the sunroof is open, but more so when it is in the "tilt" position. the noise emanates from the long piece of plastic at the back of the sunroof, and it stops rattling if you're willing to put one hand on it while you're driving :blink:

Yeah, as you've already said, there's not all that much you can do about the sunroof rattle.

By the way, my car is a V6 Azura.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
