2017 Toyota Camry 4 DR FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2017 Toyota Camry 4 DR FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"there is liquid leaking under the passenger's seat causing a horrible stench in the car. i took the car to downtown auto center in oakland, ca and worked with assistant service manager patrick who informed that this is a "known" issue with toyota but not covered by the warranty. he said that debris gets clogged in the air conditioning ventilation system causing the leak under the seat. he charged me $200 (reduced to $100 when i complained) to clear the line but did not fix the leaked water, ruined carpet or do anything about the horrible stench in the car. i am very disappointed in toyota for not covering this known issue in my 2017 camry with less than 25k miles."

Complaint:
"takata recall well recently everytime i go in reverse to back out of a driveway or anything and i press the brake, i hear 2 popping or clicking noises. i doubt it has anything to do with the braking system or transmission. possibly the suspension. no popping noises occur if i'm in drive and i brake. it'll do it whether i'm going in a straight line in reverse and brake, or if i'm turning in reverse and brake."
Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2018-01-11
Complaint:
"to use the defrost setting in the 2017 toyota camry, outside air must be on. i have never had this feature with any other car i owned and it is not like this in the 2018 models. this means when driving in rush hour traffic, you must have outside air on to run the defrosters. this causes exhaust to come in your car. since i live in houston, tx with high humidity, running the defrosters is a common occurrence. this has caused me to have a headache many times. in 2017, it snowed in houston and to clear the windshield, you had cold outside air coming in."
