I have had my 2010 for 4 months, and assembly was Georgetown, Kentucky, like the vast majority of Camrys, and I have not found a single thing wrong yet - zero assembly errors, not even a scratch!, and I am VERY picky. Nice to say that about an American built car (assembled in the USA with at least 80% North American components!!). Please let us know what the dealer finds. |

Replying to: mcdawgg (Nov 03, 2009 9:34 am) WTH? The letter is not dated nor is the envelope postmarked. It tells us what we already know. Remove driver mat until CAMPAIGN REMEDY IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CAR. Sidenote: if your carpet is getting soiled because the mat is not there to protect carpet tough luck suckers. Time for Toyota to get off their butttt and remedy this one way or the other. How many people paid for mats that they are told they cannot use and can decide to pay for off-brand or wait until the lawyers try to get the best deal for Toyota? Sure folks are saying that the mats are safe if we use the clip, but if there is a wreck and the mat is somehow involved, Toyota will say I told you to remove it. |

Replying to: pixshooter (Nov 23, 2009 11:34 pm) In the letter, I think they even tell you something like if you choose to continue to use the mats, use the hooks, use only one, and use the correct one. I have had my 2007 for 3 years, 2010 for 4 months - the mats NEVER move. Think of the odds here - of the millions of these cars on the road, there are only a VERY few problems. The NHTSA has found that in every case (I think it was less than 10), people were using multiple mats or did not have them secured. This has been WAY overblown by the media and the Toyota-haters. What Toyota is doing is making a change to the accelerator to make it more difficult to interfere with the pedal. But the only reason they are doing this is to accomodate those people that do not have the common sense or intelligence to use floor mats properly. If those people did, we would not be having this discussion right now. The dumbing down of America, and the blame-everyone, sue someone, for any reason society! Seriously, just use one mat, secure it, and be happy - you will not have any problems. |

Replying to: pixshooter (Nov 23, 2009 11:34 pm) If you have All Weather mats in the vehicle take the driver's side mat out and dispose of it. If not and you want to be ultra careful put the driver's side mat in the trunk. However, look at your carpetted mats. Are they hooked to the anchors by the seats? If not, hook them. In the anchored position can the mats come anywhere near the gas pedal? NO, there's 3-6 inches of room. The carpetted mats cannot interfere with the gas pedal...try it yourself. Use common sense and carry on. I'm not doing anything with my 2005 Prius mats. They are anchored in place since the day I drove off the lot and they haven't moved one milimetre. The Safety Recall notice is now kitty litter.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 24, 2009 6:24 am) WHY? The All Weather mats don't move at all either. When anchored, they don't come anywhere near the pedals either. And they stay anchored, never move. Yes, my recall letters were sent to the recycler. And I will not get the pedal changed or remove my mats - no need to. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 24, 2009 6:41 am) YES, by the media and people who hate Toyota or other so-called imports. |

I spoke with my salesman over the phone today and told him I was not happy with the third party rubber mats he put in my new Camry. I explained that they do not fit the floor properly and are not contoured to the shape of the Camry floor. I went on to tell him that I feel unsafe with the mats since they are unable to be hooked to the floor since there aren't any holes in them. He told me that the rubber mats that were involved in the highly publiscized accident were "Toyota" mats and not a third party mat. I told him that I called Toyota and that they told me that the only rubber mats they recommend to use are Toyota brand rubber mats. He agreed to change out the third party rubber mats with the Toyota brand. They will protect the floor much better and not be able to slide around and potentially get caught up with the accelerator pedal. I became fed up with trying to make my mp3 player work with the USB cable so I went out today and purchased a Universal Audio Cable Kit witch includes a 3 foot recessed 3.5mm stereo to stereo plug. I plugged one end into the mp3 player and the other into the port right next to the USB port and my music played just fine. The only thing is that when you want to change the song you have to change it on the mp3 player. The stereo controls on the Camry are not able to change the song or ffwd, rwd, pause... In the end I'm just happy that I am able to listen to my own music rather than having to flip through radio stations hoping to come across something worthwhile. How does the Sirius Satellite radio work? Do you have to pay a monthly fee for the access as well as a fee per radio station you want to hear? I don't know if it is going to be worth the money.
