Lemon law eligibility depends on state law, number of repair attempts, and days out of service. Consult an attorney for actual eligibility.
The same components appear in both official NHTSA recalls and owner-filed complaints — a double-confirmed failure signal.
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.
One failed component has created stress on connected systems. Repair costs compound quickly — a $500 fix can become $3,000+ if cascade damage is ignored.

having problem with power steering. there is no place to add power steering fluid in my 2018 toyota camry. (this is my 4th toyota camry). steering rack and pinion probaly need to be replaced. i have read online that this is a known problem with toyota camrys
Toyota has recognized a problem with the low pressure fuel pump on some 2018 Camry cars which causes a hesitation when driving from a stop creating a rear danger of a rear-end collision. It has been happening intermitantly everysince car was new.. Toyota claimed that my vin was not one of the ones recalled even though I experienced the e3xact same problem. There appears to be an additional recall for the same issue in 2025, but here again my camry is not included. I only have 40,000 miles on my camry and I would like to keep it but am worried about the hesitation. The engine actually cuts off very briefly.
The vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure following a period of abnormal operation. The component that failed is the automatic transmission (8-speed). Prior to total failure, the vehicle began exhibiting multiple symptoms, including delayed engagement when shifting into drive and reverse, hesitation during acceleration, and inconsistent power delivery at low speeds. At times, the engine RPM would increase without corresponding acceleration, followed by sudden jerking or surging once the transmission engaged. These issues created unsafe driving conditions, particularly when attempting to merge into traffic or accelerate from a stop, as the vehicle did not respond predictably or immediately to driver input. This posed a safety risk to both the driver and surrounding vehicles. The symptoms progressed over time and ultimately resulted in a complete transmission failure, rendering the vehicle undrivable. The problem has been confirmed by a dealership, which diagnosed the vehicle as requiring a full transmission replacement. The transmission is available for inspection upon request. There were no prior warning lights or dashboard indicators before the onset of symptoms. The initial symptoms appeared suddenly and worsened over a short period of time. The vehicle has been regularly maintained according to recommended service schedules, with no known gaps in maintenance. Based on the nature of the failure and similar reports of transmission issues in comparable vehicles, this appears to be a premature component failure rather than normal wear and tear. This issue appears consistent with broader reports of transmission malfunction in similar model vehicles, raising concerns about reliability and safety.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and the contact was informed that there was a transmission leak and ball joint failure. The vehicle was repaired. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
A loud winding noise coming from transmission only while foot is on the gas. Sound goes away when foot is not in the accelerator. This is a severe issue that can cause the transmission to go out while driving.
I own a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE with a sunroof that is currently stuvck in tilt/ open position and will not close. Multiple independent mechanics have refused to attempt repair due to the high likelihood of the glass or mechanism breaking, and have advised that only Toyota dealership should handle the issue due to liability concerns. This appears to be a common issue reported by other Toyota Camry owners with similar model years, suggesting a potential defect in the sunroof mechanism or design. The failure creates a safety concern because the vehicle is exposed to water intrusion, which can lead to electrical damage, mold, and reduced visibility while driving in rain. Additionally, the inability to secure the sunroof compromises the structural integrity and safety of the vehicle. The estimated repair cost exceeds $8,500 for parts alone, which is unreasonable for a sunroof failure and suggests a larger design issue rather than normal wear and tear. I am requesting that this issue be investigated as a potential defect and that Toyota be held responsible if a pattern is confirmed.
On March 19, 2026, I was driving to work when traffic began to slow, and I reduced my speed accordingly. As traffic started to return to normal speed, I pressed the accelerator; however, although the engine revved, the vehicle did not accelerate beyond approximately 15 mph. I safely moved to the side of the road and turned the car off. After restarting the vehicle, shifting into drive, and pressing the accelerator, the same issue occurred. I subsequently took the car to two separate mechanics, both of whom reported that the transmission needs to be replaced. This is unexpected, as the vehicle has fewer than 100,000 miles and has received regular maintenance.
Automatic transmission. Whining noise from transmission only while accelerator is pressed, goes away when let off the accelerator pedal.Transmission can quit working unexpectedly. 8 speed transmission that there are a lot of complaints on internet about this problem.
My steering was tight on my 2018 Toyota Camry. I started to have difficulty steering my car. After a day, I could not steer the car at all. I took it to my mechanic at Exxon, and when he ordered a new steering intermediate shaft assembly, he found a defect in the one Toyota sent him. I discovered that this serious and unsafe issue arose with other 2018 Toyota Camrys.
My transmission is slipping / hesitating / delay shifting. I have always had it serviced on time and taken very good care of it. I even went and had the fluid flushed & refreshed and it is still happening. It makes driving unpredictable and makes me feel extremely unsafe in my car. There aren’t any lights on, on my dashboard. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance.
I own a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE. The car is equipped with a radar cruise control and automatic braking system that will brake the car if programming believes there is risk of an accident. The problem is this is all front-based monitory and no rear based monitoring. Recently I was traveling the speed limit on a 4-lane highway when a car stopped abruptly in the turn lane in which I was following. There was no need for my car to brake abruptly as I was not traveling so close behind the car in front of me to justify that. Rather, I was more concerned about a car behind me that was tailgating me. I wanted to brake gradually to give the car behind me time to stop. But the auto braking system in my car braked so suddenly against my will causing the car behind me to veer off the road onto the shoulder in order to avoid rear ending me. It also made me worry that the driver of the car behind me might believe I intentionally braked hard to make him back away from my car when this was not the case. The 2018 Camry XSE auto braking system is a hazard because it looks forward with the radar but did not consider the car tailgating me and it nearly caused me to be rear ended were it not for evasive action of the car behind me veering onto the shoulder. I can turn it off when I drive the car but it always comes back on when I start the car. I am undecided about liability as well if I must permit this defective system to run or whether I am protected legally by turning it off. It is such a hassle to constantly turn it off each time I start the car so I just let the car do it's thing most of the time thinking I might be better legally protected with it on than with it off.
ICS malfunction error light and check engine light came on. I received a recall notice that this was being looked into but now the water pump has went out. The car is overheating.
The panoramic roof on the 2018 Camry XSE is stuck in the vented position and will not close. This is a known issue with this car and year, as well as other years. Window makes loud noises when trying to close and just remains open with no other way to manually close it.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 90,328, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 294,568.
The Vacuum Pump for the Power Assist Brake System failed on my vehicle, the dealership would not provide me with the failed unit as they "have to send it back to Toyota". My brake assist was very inconsistent, sometimes barely had any which lead to very poor braking, accompanied with a KNOWN problematic knocking noise with an active TSB. I complained about this issue when I bought this used vehicle that was barely driven, at the local Toyota Dealership knowing the vehicle was made at the same time that other vehicles built in the same timeframe with the same issue were recalled, they told me it was just "injector noise" and it didn't apply to me. I brought it up again a few months later as it got worse, they told me it was "normal noise, use injector cleaner" and sent me off. I brought it up there last month about the Brake System Error message, they told me it was because the car wasn't on, however it never did this when I bought it nor do other cars on their lot. I brought it up again to the dealership this week as it got a lot more frequent that I would have poor brake assistance, the knocking was loud enough to hear in heavy traffic, and they finally told me the vacuum pump had failed. The dealer told me they couldn't do anything about the recall, would not cover it as goodwill warranty even when it is simmilar/same failure as the recall and previously complained about it, and the full repair would be over 1,800 dollars. I called Toyota Customer Hotline and explained that the failure was the same as the known issue in their recall on the same vehicles and the active TSB, they would not tell me why my VIN was not included in the recall, they would not extend a goodwill coverage on it as being it was the same failure, or take a complaint. Symptoms were present at the time of purchase, starting with inconsistent brake assist and light knocking, ended with excessively loud knocking and significant increase in frequency of the inconsistency and brake error message.
I began noticing louder noises coming from my Camry over the last couple months. The car started jerking forward more, stalling and hesitating to pick up speed, and I became increasingly concerned about my ability to control the car. Took the car in on Tuesday February 24th for a routine oil change at suburban Toyota of Troy and I informed them of the issue. Completed oil changed and They informed me that transmission fluid looked good, we just flushed it last year, and there was nothing they could notice right away wrong. They said they initially could not detect a problem but eventually noticed hesitation and jerking of the car when testing it. The dealer informed that a software update might help the jerking. I was told there was no guarantee that the update would help. There were also no warning lights on the dash at any time. I was not told that I should do the update right away and so I planned to bring the car back. Two days later, on 2/27/26, upon driving my car for five mins, it began jerking, making very loud sounds, and failed to accelerate. I had never experienced this issue to this degree and It was very scary and dangerous to experience this during rush hour traffic. The car then completely gave out, stopped driving altogether and the car began smelling like something was burning. I had it towed back to the dealer. the dealer told me that the transmission is a complete failure. The car is in otherwise good condition. This is extremely disappointing because I just paid this vehicle off and now I have to pay Toyota 8900 for a new transmission or get a new car.
My vehicles transmission suddenly failed on the highway and caused me to almost crash; I lost control of the vehicle but no damage was sustained to the car. the transmission failed without any incident or reason; further research indicates multiple class action lawsuits against toyota for knowingly selling malfunctioning UA80 Transmissions in many of there 2018-2024 models, including my 2018 Camry XSE. 7grand for a repair on a vehicle that I purchased for 30k and the vehicle was certified by toyota.
Transmission failure after 145k miles; confirmed by 3 independent service centers. ICS Malfunction appeared two days prior to car being sent to mechanic shop
Poor acceleration and lose of transmission control ….complete safety hazard and the car has a failure to lose power while driving…..a humming noise and the car jerks while shifting gears
I am reporting a complete" transmission failure on my 2018 Toyota Camry (2.5L Gas, UB80E 8-speed). The vehicle suddenly failed to engage 'Drive' or 'Reverse' properly. Even after a professional fluid service at a transmission is stuck in a 'limp mode' or high gear, requiring high RPMs just to move slowly. This is a well-documented issue among 2018 Camry owners involving harsh shifting and premature internal failure. Toyota refuses to provide a reasonable repair option, only offering a full replacement at an exorbitant cost ($5,000+), despite this being a known manufacturing defect in the UB80E units. This failure poses a significant safety risk, especially when the vehicle fails ".to accelerate in traffic
While driving my 2018 Toyota Camry in active traffic, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating despite pressing the accelerator pedal. The engine remained on, but the vehicle would not move when pressing accelerator pedal. This occurred without warning and created an immediate safety hazard because surrounding traffic was moving normally and I was unable to maintain speed or clear the roadway. The loss of acceleration occurred while the vehicle was already in motion, not during startup, and placed me at risk of being rear-ended. There were no dashboard warnings prior to the failure. The condition appeared intermittent and unpredictable. This issue is extremely dangerous because a driver cannot rely on the vehicle to accelerate when needed to avoid collisions or safely merge, cross intersections, or keep up with traffic flow. What Happened After the Failure The vehicle required pulling over / restarting / limping to safety due to inability to accelerate normally. This defect makes the vehicle unsafe to operate in normal traffic conditions. ⸻ Additional Safety Concerns I have discovered numerous consumer complaints and ongoing litigation involving 2018 Toyota Camry automatic transmission failures, including reports of hesitation, loss of power, and failure to accelerate. This suggests a systemic transmission defect, not normal wear and tear. This failure presents a serious risk of crash, injury, or death, especially in intersections, highways, or congested traffic. Requested Action I am requesting that NHTSA: •Investigate this issue as a potential safety defect •Review similar complaints involving 2018 Toyota Camry automatic transmissions •Require corrective action, including recall or mandatory repair, if a defect is confirmed
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified on the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 118,000.
i HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO TOYOTA FROM I HAD THE CAR, JUST NORMAL RECOMMENDATIONS. 2 WEEKS A GO NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR WHEN I TOOK IT TO NALLEY STONECREST IN GA, NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT ANYTHING FEELING AWAY OR NOTHING ABOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT( THAT'S WHEN I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT). IN LESS THEN 2 DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND INSTANTLY THE CAR STARTED TO DRAG AND LOOSE ACCELERATION AND WOULDN'T GO IN TO GEAR WHILE I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WENT TO NALLEY TOYOTA OF STONE CREST WHICH I SHOULDN'T AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAPPEN. NOT EVEN LOOKING AT AT THE CAR THEY INSTANTLY SAID ITS A TRANSMISSION NEED TO REPLACE.( REMIND YOU THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT YET CAUSE I HAVE NOT TOWED IT YET. THEY WONT CHECK IT TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED OR ANYTHING, JUST QUICK TO SELL YOU A TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING NEED STO BE DONE CAUSE IF THIS MANY CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SOMETHING NEED TO JUSTIFIED.
The vehicle experienced a malfunction of the 8-speed automatic transmission(UB80E). The transmission began slipping unpredictably, jerking when accelerating from a stop, and shifting extremely harshly between first and second gear. These symptoms occurred randomly and worsened over a short period of time. The vehicle would hesitate or surge when attempting to move from a stop, creating a loss of control risk in traffic and at intersections. Warning indicators, including the check engine light, illuminated as the condition progressed. The issue was reproducible during normal driving and did not develop gradually over extended use. The vehicle became unsafe to operate and is currently undrivable. The transmission has been inspected by manufacturer-affiliated service personnel, who indicated that similar transmission behavior is commonly reported in other vehicle models equipped with the same 8-speed automatic transmission (UB80E), though fewer reports are currently associated with this specific model. This failure presents a safety concern due to unpredictable power delivery, delayed acceleration, and violent low-speed shifting. The vehicle and transmission are available for inspection upon request.
While accelerating, the transmission is causing a whining sound that is consistent. Vehicle only has 94K miles on it. This is causing safety concerns with premature power train failure that could happen while a driver is in the road, which could lead to an accident. I have taken the vehicle to my local Toyota dealership and they did confirm that this is something they have been very often in the 8th Generation Toyota Camry's. They also confirmed that this is an issue with the transmission and is going into transmission failure. There has been no warning lights or indications for this matter except for the noise you hear while accelerating. After countless hours of research, Toyota has put out a TSB for this issue (TSB-0043-19). Unfortunately, this TSB has not fixed the issue with the power train. Currently, the UA80 8-speed automatic transmission is on a 60-90 day back order for how many transmissions are needing to be replaced for this issue. Not only is this a severe safety concern for the transmission to give out whilst driving in traffic, but it is a financial issue for many drivers having to pay up to $8,000 for this issue to be resolved.
I bought this car used with about 100k miles, took it for a test drive around the block at the local dealership and didn't hear anything at the time. When I took it on the freeway for the first time I heard the Whining noise. It only happens when there is a load on the transmission and gets louder as the speed increases. On top of that, it seems like it starts out in second or third gear sometimes I can't move until it downshifts which is extremely dangerous considering I've been sticking out in the street and other cars are coming! This apparently was a new design starting in 2018 and many people have been cursed by this transmission the more I keep reading up on this. I've owned many toyotas in the past and I've never had any issues, especially with the transmission. I've been quoted anywhere from $6k to $10k to replace the transmission and I cannot even remotely be able to afford that at this time. I feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb, I need to listen to music to not drive me nuts and I can still hear the whine! If it weren't for this problem I couldn't really have any other complaints, but unfortunately this is a Very Big problem. The more I read this was a first year design and it looks like it failed miserably, I would call it a lemon. Every day I drive this car it slips while shifting gears, shifts too often or not enough. This thing should be replaced. Please, I am a loyal Toyota customer and hate that this has changed my mind. Please replace these faulty 8 speed transmissions.
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK , ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELARATE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN DRIVABLE, HOWEVER ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC AND DROPPED THE CAR OFF, FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE NEXT DAY I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ERROR CODE CAME UP AS SLIPPAGE AND HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 130,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS AGAINST TOYOTA, AND MY CAR MAKE AND MODEL ARE IN THE GROUP. HOWEVER I CAN NOT FIND AN ACTIVE CLASS ACTION SUIT TO JOIN, AS I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, ESPECIALLY IF TOYOTA KNEW THIS TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY.
FAULTY TRANSMISSION RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED
Vehicle has a safety issue involving the vehicles electric water pump. The water pump failed causing the vehicle to be unusuable until the electric motor is replaced. No warning when it failed, left consumer in the road blocking traffic.
My 2018 Toyota Camry with 132,000 started experiencing transmission issues in the last 10,000 miles or so - with hesitation in shifting. Now at 132,000 my transmission has officially fully failed. Upon bringing it to a reputable transmission repair shop, I learned that the repair would cost me over $8000 between parts (hard to find) and labor. This is wild as I expected a Toyota to last up and over 200k miles easily. This has absolutely tarnished my views on Toyota reliability! I even called corporate and they were absolutely no help!
* My transmission failed. * The transmission started to slip when on the highway. * I called Toyota and told them about it. I had it serviced at the Toyota Dealership and was told that the transmission had internal problems and needed to be replaced. * No, I actually just got it service a week prior and everything was fine.
My son was driving down Interstate 71 at approx 65 mph in our 2018 Toyota Camry when it lost power. He was able to pull off to the side of the road and turned the car off. Once the car was restarted, he was able to drive it (at a maximum speed of 35 mph) to the closest exit where he pulled into a gas station. While trying to back it into a parking spot, the car would not go into reverse. We had the car towed back to the dealership that we purchased it new from (Kings Toyota). Approximately 3 days later we received word that the transmission needed to be replaced at the cost of 8200.00.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while on a construction site at work, the vehicle drove over a piece of rebar which damaged the front end of the vehicle. The contact stated that after the issue the rearview camera failed to operate as needed with a blank or distorted image on the screen. The failure persisted and the traction control, check engine, and other various warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions and the dealer attempted to repair front sensors. The dealer eventually repaired the correct sensors, and the rearview camera was repaired. Recently, the contact stated while driving 65 MPH in the snow, the RPM revved high while depressing accelerator pedal and the vehicle started coasting. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with a defective CVT transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000. The VIN was not available.
The automatic transmission has failed. The vehicle exhibits slipping, hard or delayed shifting, intermittent loss of drive, and most critically, the car completely shut off while I was driving on the highway, creating an immediate risk of a serious accident. Hard shifting and gear slipping began approximately 11/04/2025. The transmission warning light hasn't even come on. Sudden hesitation during acceleration or gear changes became increasingly frequent. The most severe symptom occurred when the car completely shut off on the highway which is very dangerous. Toyota Dealer verified the issue and informed me that the has DTCs for Torque Converter failure. Replaced Transmission at a cost of $10,150. . I respectfully request that Toyota consider offering a goodwill reimbursement for the repair of the transmission for my vehicle. Provide guidance to owners of similar vehicles to prevent accidents or injuries. I am very disappointed to have a major transmission failure at this mileage especially with proper care and no signs of abuse and neglect. I strongly believe this should not occur under normal driving conditions and proper maintenance. My check engine light did NOT COME ON
Car stalled while driving and needed to be towed to dealership. Dealership confirmed that there was coolant intrusion into the engine that clogged the fuel injector causing the car to stall while driving. Dealership informed us that car will need a new engine and transmission because of the coolant intrusion. The car stalled while driving and could have led to an accident or loss of life depending on where the car stalled and when. This coolant intrusion has been confirmed by the dealership and shown to us via video they took. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and we called Toyota corp to have then review this as a safety issue. They informed us the call stalling was not a safety issue. UNKNOWN on confirmed symptoms prior.
My vehicle has always been jerky, lagging to accelerate, limp, giving the shift solenoid code error.
I have a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE with 67,000 miles. The car started making a clinking noise when driving over small bumps, increasingly getting louder over the course of a few days. I took it in to a mechanic and both the left and right strut mounts and coils were rusted and fully cracked . When lifted, both front tires fell to the sides. This could have resulted in significant car damage had I driven over a large bump,. The mechanic stated that he had never experienced this in a newer car with so few miles.
In short: I had a whining noise coming from under my hood, my car was changing gears roughly. When I was driving on I-95 N and my car lost power/ the ability to accelerate on the highway. I had to make my way to the far-right lane and exit the highway. My safety was at risk at this point (no warning lights came on my dashboard). My car lost the ability to drive. I had my car towed to the Toyota dealership. The mechanic recorded a video of my car giving details of the issue (I have the video). My transmission needs to be replaced (internal failure noted by the mechanic), and my car has yet to reach 65,000 miles! This is ridiculous. I seen many complaints on the NHTSA site regarding this vehicle and the transmission. A class action lawsuit needs to take place, and Toyota needs to pay 100% of these repairs.

The vehicle illuminated the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and stored DTC P26CB71 – Electric Water Pump Speed Stuck. The dealer confirmed the electric coolant pump actuator is mechanically stuck and requires replacement at a quoted cost of $1,257.81. Toyota official TSB-0323-17 (published December 8, 2017) explicitly states that this exact repair for DTC P26CB71 is covered under the Toyota Federal Emission Warranty for 96 months or 80,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date. Despite the vehicle being well within both time and mileage limits, the dealer and EPA both refuse to honor Toyota’s own published 8-year Federal Emissions Warranty, violating 40 CFR §85.2107(a) which mandates that the manufacturer “shall repair or replace” any covered failed emission-related part at no cost to the owner. The failed electric water pump is an emission-related component because its malfunction triggers an OBD-II emissions DTC and can cause elevated emissions due to improper engine temperature control. The part remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection. No warning symptoms appeared prior to the MIL illumination.
Whining noise coming from transmission recall for certain CVT transmissions and Dealer advised that my VIN does not match
I paid off my var in June. By the ed of august my cars engine started going bad out of no where. started with oil and coolant mixing into the engine and then transmission started whining. Long story short I had to get both replaced. Oh yea my car only has 56k miles. Can you guys explain or give me any ideas on how this happened?

I was leaving a doctor's office and getting on the highway. When I pressed down on the accelerator, I experienced a sudden loss of power, the check engine light came on, as well as warnings about the front collision system being deactivated. It remained dangerous for me to stay on the highway but it was also difficult to exit the highway safely given the loss of power. When I brought it to a Toyota dealership, they did a diagnostic and it said my transmission had an "internal failure" despite the fact that it only has 85k miles on it.
Transmission, hesitant, wouldn’t shift, whining noise, jerking from stop to go
Dear Toyota Customer Experience Team, I am writing to report a serious and potentially widespread safety issue with my 2018 Toyota Camry XSE. The automatic transmission has failed. The vehicle exhibits slipping, hard or delayed shifting, intermittent loss of drive, and most critically, the car completely shut off while I was driving on the highway, creating an immediate risk of a serious accident. The transmission is available for inspection upon request. These failures pose a direct safety hazard. The unexpected shutdown on the highway, combined with gear engagement problems, could easily lead to loss of control, collisions, or injury to myself, passengers, and other road users. The transmission failure has been confirmed by a certified independent transmission specialist, who stated that the transmission requires either a complete rebuild or replacement. The vehicle has been maintained according to Toyota’s recommended schedule. The vehicle has not been inspected by Toyota representatives. It has been inspected by the independent specialist for diagnostic purposes. Hard shifting and gear slipping began approximately 11/08/2025. The transmission warning light hasn't even come on. Sudden hesitation during acceleration or gear changes became increasingly frequent. The most severe symptom occurred when the car completely shut off on the highway which is super dangerous. Based on my observations and the independent specialist’s evaluation, I believe this failure may be related to known issues affecting 2018 Toyota Camry XSE transmissions, potentially involving internal clutches or valve body components. I respectfully request that Toyota consider offering a goodwill repair or replacement of the transmission for my vehicle. Provide guidance to owners of similar vehicles to prevent accidents or injuries.
2018 TOYOTA CAMRY at times vehicle engine will run under engine Temperature, and other times, Vehicle will overheat. This is intermittent issue and is Not all the time. When vehicle is shut down. For 5, 10 minutes, It seems to work fine again for a week or two, and then starts to act up again. Toyota is aware of this issue with a defective Electronic water valve part that control the flow of water into the engine. Toyota did send notice out should this issue happen they will do a free Voluntary repair to replace that defective Electronic water valve even after the original initial warranty expires. Bringing to dealer to check and I will update after the fix was made that is suppose to fix this over heating issue with engine code reading P26cb. If you have same issue with vehicle years in question with code P26cb you might want to contact Toyota. This is a safety issue should engine start to overheat while driving.
I was unaware that there was anything wrong with my vehicle. No warnings, no nothing, and as i pulled out into traffic, all of a sudden my car would not go anywhere. I was unable to go in forward or reverse. I was almost hit by multiple other vehicles. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection with traffic coming at me in both directions. I ended up having to get a tow truck to have my car towed. Come to find out my transmission went out. No warning no nothing leading up to this. Not only did it pose a risk to my life, but i now have vehicle that i still make payments on that no longer runs without having the transmission replaced.
While driving out of my neighborhood at a low speed, the vehicle’s brakes suddenly stopped responding. I pressed the brake pedal multiple times, but it felt soft and failed to slow or stop the car as expected. I had to rely on the parking brake to bring the vehicle to a stop safely. Fortunately, there were no injuries or collisions, but this created a serious safety risk for myself and others. There were no prior warning lights or error messages before the incident. After researching, I discovered that my vehicle model and year have been associated with a known braking issue, as described in a recall for certain 2018–2019 Toyota Camry vehicles related to a vacuum pump or braking system malfunction. I took the vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealer immediately after the incident. The dealer confirmed the brake vacuum pump had failed, matching the symptoms described in the existing recall for other vehicles of the same model and year. However, they stated that my specific VIN was not included in the recall and refused to cover the repair under warranty or recall service. As a result, I was forced to pay over $1,200 out of pocket to fix a problem that is clearly related to the same known defect.
I am reaching out regarding a serious issue with my 2018 Toyota Camry xse that recently experienced a transmission failure at approximately 112,000 miles. This was completely unexpected, as I have consistently maintained the vehicle according to Toyota’s recommended maintenance schedule. Oil changes, fluid checks and other regulatory services. Given Toyota’s reputation for quality and durability, I was very disappointed to have a major transmission failure at this mileage especially with proper care and no signs of abuse and neglect. I strongly believe this should not occur under normal driving conditions and proper maintenance. My check engine light did NOT COME ON
Vehicle cut off at a stop light twice
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy with the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 91,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 170,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that there would be a sudden loss of power steering functionality and just as sudden, the power steering function would return. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and the Air Bag Malfunction warning lights were illuminated. The starter had suddenly failed due to a loss of battery power. The contact purchased a jump box to start the vehicle. The contact stated that the key fob failed to unlock the doors, causing the contact to have to manually open the doors with the keys. The windows could not be controlled from the control panel near the driver's seat. Each window could only be controlled by the window switch on the door where the window was located. The TPMS warning light as illuminated, despite the tire pressure being at the correct levels. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for an oil change, at which time the failures were stated, but the dealer only diagnosed that the battery charge was low. The dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who replaced the battery. After having the repair completed, the SRS warning light remained illuminated, with the Service Vehicle warning light. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and confirmed that the VIN was not covered under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
Transmission has not been right since purchase, complaints were left unaddressed until the complete failure of the transmission, of course out of warranty. This is a safety hazard, as well as Toyota offering no type of assistance.
As I was exiting a highway, and my foot was on the brake, the engine increased from about 15 MPH to about 30 MPH. I had to put the car in park. I almost hit the car in front of me. The engine increasing like this happens when I slow down for A red light or stop sign.
I gave yesterday a complaint (9/24/25 complaint #11689593). Today at the same location, exit ramp of the AZ 101, going west, the same thing happened.

Pre-Collision system malfunction, secondary collision system malfunction along with check engine. It appears to be a trend with 2018 Toyota Camry XSE and higher model.

As of today, after contacting Toyota North America (reference #250616000216) the replacement part #73370-06120-AO is still not available to our dealership for repair of this seatbelt safety part.
Brought my vehicle to Costco to have the tires replaced. After the vehicle was put on the lift, the wheel broke off. Fortunately no one was underneath at the time. Costco did no further work because of this so car was then towed to dealership. They confirmed that the strut mounts were rusted so badly that it caused it to just break away from the top mount. This suspension issue also caused additional tire damage. There was absolutely no indiciation that there was an issue with the strut and I am glad that it decided to break off while on a lift getting service instead of when I was driving it. The vehicle is only 7 years old and mechanics at dealership confirmed that corrosion should not have happened that quickly and suspect a design flaw that is trapping moisture, therefore accelerating corrosion.

My warning panel told me to take the car to dealer for reprogram, and dealer said my wiring harness for hybrid electric system had been chewed by rodents and the harness and probably batteries should be replaced NOW or the car might catch fire.

I am reporting a brake failure issue that matches the symptoms described in NHTSA Campaign Number 19V-544 (Toyota recall for brake booster vacuum pump failure). My 2018 Camry has experienced loss of brake assist, making it difficult to stop safely and requiring excessive pedal pressure. Despite these symptoms and the known recall for this issue, my VIN is not currently included. This raises concerns that the recall scope was too limited and that my vehicle should be included. I have contacted both the dealer and Toyota corporate, and I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this defect further and consider expanding the recall. This is a serious safety issue.

Intermittently, when leaving from a stop the car will have just enough power to pull forward about a car length before losing all drive power. The engine revs, but behaves as if it were in neutral. This happened a couple times when making a left turn from a stop sign leaving the car in cross traffic, powerless, with cars coming from the drivers side for a second or two before it had power again. It seems to happen in hot weather. It is intermittent. The dealership could not reproduce the problem. There were no warning lamps. I could make the vehicle available for inspection upon request. The first appearance was last summer. It did not do it over the winter. It happened again yesterday. When it happens it tends to happen for a few minutes before driving normally again. It may happen at start up or after the car has been driven for some time.
While operating my vehicle, the multi information display between the tachometer and RPM gauges flashed bold red letters BRAKE (even though nothing was in front of us at all) then the screen went 100% black. When that happens, the majority of the safety features are obsolete because you cannot see or read what caused the beep. Also, the Odometer could not be seen as well as feul eveonomy, if cruise control was engaged, what gear your engine is in if Sports mode is activated (in which occurs if accidently hitting the gear switches on your steering wheel just turning it), unable to see maintenance messages, cannot control the sensor settings...nothing. When I finally had enough money to even get the car diagnosed (roughly $187), the Corwin Toyota dealership asked me for the mileage, and I had to tell them to tell me. They did confirm the instrument panel/cluster to be defective, however, I and my extended warranty company had to pay the bill. 53,252 miles when they serviced it. When I paid my portion, I asked Lori how long will this one last and she told me, "They are suppose to last the duration of the car's life." I replied, "Um, but...". On April 17th I called Toyota's Customer Engagement line and spoke with them about the defective part and repair. Dorian told me that with the part replaced carries a 1 year warranty. If Toyota designed essentially all the safety features, eco features, cruise control, gears to only be seen or controlled on that multi-informational display within the instrument panel/cluster, they should be required to fix it at no cost to customers for the lifetime of the car. I took video of it before I dropped it off to be serviced., but even Corwin Toyota in Fargo, ND, has video footage of the mechanic's assessment.
Only when it rains the forward collision warning light comes on. The last time it came on the engine light also came on with code P01280.

I got all of my regular maintenance done and never had any accidents or issues other than this. My car only has 115k miles and is a 2018. I just paid this car off last year after buying it brand new.
Heard a whining noise and brought to the dealer. They said my 2018 Camry SE with 78,000 miles needs a new transmission. The transmission is on a national back order. Toyota has a TSB out for the same model year Sienna and Highlander but will not acknowledge there is an issue with the Camry.
I am writing this to complain about the 8 speed automatic transmission! My car’s tranny went out at 68,500 miles 4 MONTHS AGO. To this day, it’s still drivable but I worry any day now it will give out. I have been quoted staggering prices from 5.5k to 9k! No warning lights which was also surprising. The problem first started when I heard gear grinding sound coming front underneath the front end when decelerating. I am very upset as these seems like an issue where thousands of customers are experiencing transmission issues ranging from jerks to slipping. And the worst part is Toyota won’t do anything about it! It’s clear as day that there should be a recall for the first year models for the 8 speed automatic transmission.
The car first stalled ,then the it shut off ,and the car did not start. The car has almost half tank of gas. So I was doing My research on line. And saw 3 recalls and one of them was the fuel pump system for my 2018 camry LE.
There was a recall in 2022 for the fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced by a local dealership in North Charleston, South Carolina. In December, the engine light of my 2018 Toyota Camry came on. It was diagnosed that the fuel pump needs to be replaced. I have appointment scheduled for this Thursday, February 20 at the local dealership for them, too diagnose and replace.
While operating the vehicle, the automatic transmission failed to respond and jerked the vehicle at low speed upshifting from 1st to 2nd gear initially. After engaging 2nd gear, vehicle demonstrated loss of power while in motion until system provide engine light warning and other safety messages which had been disabled such as automatic braking system disabled as well as lane departure warning disabled. The vehicle began to limit drivable speed during highway operation which prompt exiting to service or frontage road at which point when the vehicle came to a complete stop, the vehicle would not advance or reverse and was towed from road to a safe location.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while the transmission was shifting from 1st to 2nd gear and while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle jolted forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated the failure recurred one and a half weeks later while driving at an undisclosed speed and the engine revved but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact had to maintain the RPM between 3,000 and 4,000 while driving uphill. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle became inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to the part being on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was 66,000.
I am the owner of a 2018 Toyota Camry purchased 08/31/2018. Toyota recalled 2018 Camry models built between 01/16/2017 and 09/13/2018 for a brake problem (internal campaign reference code JOK/JLD). My vehicle falls within this period but seems to not be included in the recall. I am writing to you because I have had at least six occasions where when parking the car and going very slowly the vehicle doesn't seem to want to stop. Recently, I could not stop the vehicle and it was stopped by a cement barrier and bush. I have been told in the past by the dealer (Morristown Toyota) that there is no problem. Is it possible that my vehicle should have been included in the recall but was accidentally omitted.
Constant transmission issues
I was driving my 2018 Toyota Camry SE and the brakes went out on me. I managed to keep pumping the brake and slowly apply the emergency brake to bring the vehicle to a stop. After a look by a mechanic, it turned out that the problem was with the brake vacuum pump. The internal parts were completely destroyed. I had to go to a Toyota dealership (Longo Toyota of Prosper) to get a replacement part. I purchased the part for $691.85 and had somebody install it for me. I later found out that NHTSA had issued a recall on this EXACT part for my vehicle after the incident and TOYOTA failed to inform me of this issue. To follow up with the recall, I took the vehicle to Toyota, and they did NOTHING to the vehicle and just checked it off from their recall list. The reason I am filing a complaint is because TOYOTA is refusing to reimburse me for the part that was part of a recall. I filed 2 claims in which I provided them with the receipt and bank statements showing that I purchased the part from a TOYOTA dealership. Now, they are claiming that the reason they denied my claim is because I did not provide them with a written letter stating HOW the repair was done, even though a Toyota dealership took a look at the part as part of the recall process and told me that everything looked good. I got the person that worked on the vehicle to write a lengthy letter stating precisely how he did the work. I am trying to file another reimbursement claim request, but now their Reimbursement page is down and has been down for at least a week now. I have attempted to try to submit the claim through my laptop, phone, and my iPad and all are giving me the same error message. It is absurd that Toyota almost got me killed and now is refusing to even reimburse me for something they had to cover to begin with. I will provide you will all the documents that I've been trying to submit to Toyota. At this point, I don't know how to get them to acknowlege this issue.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the driver’s side air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the warning light illuminated intermittently but had since remained illuminated consistently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that there was no recall on the VIN for the failure. The dealer determined that the driver’s side air bag system had a short circuit, causing the failure. The contact was informed that the air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer confirmed there was no recall on the VIN. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Car wouldn’t start .it says low braking power
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed to slow for a traffic signal and the brake pedal was firm. The message "Low Braking Power" was displayed. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the brake vacuum pump assist had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact was informed that there was an open recall on the VIN; NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V890000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
Brake malfunction on my 2018 Toyota Camry and steering wheel malfunctioned causing my vehicles to spend on the freeway hitting a barrel and landing the car into a ditch. The car is not available for inspection it’s still at the tow yard. The safety was at risk for me as the driver was tremendously overwhelming and fearful. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by anyone. There hasn’t been any inspection to the vehicle that I know of. Yes there was warning sign; power steering malfunction, secondary collision brake system malfunction, antilock brake system malfunction, ICS malfunction, pre collision system malfunction. They first appeared 12-01-2024.
Panoramic sunroof issues. Sunroof is stuck in the open position. Motor clicks continuously but does not close. Toyota dealership only able to close top portion of sunroof and had to disconnect the motor. Sunroof not used often so this should not have happened, and vehicle is not that old. The cost to repair is outrageous.
Front right (passenger side) shock absorber assembly rusted out and separated from shock strut mounting bracket.Shock strut retaining nut is stick attached , but entire upper mounting bracket is separated from strut mount.Car only has 65,000 miles and is not operated in excessive salt area.
Check engine light came on one day. Ignored it. The next morning was driving on the highway and noticed the car had some trouble accelerating, tried to switch lanes at ~40-60mph (don’t remember) and the car started to kick back and almost felt like it was coming to a complete stop. I was so scared the car would just stop in the middle of the highway because i couldn’t even change lanes without it kicking back/not accelerating enough. There was not a lot of traffic around so i was lucky enough to get the car into the far right lane and coast. An alert came on, almost immediately after, on the dash and was told to pull over due to the engine overheating. Looked at the heat gauge and noticed it was all the way to HOT. Got off the highway and tried to take local roads back home, the car started to kick back almost like it was about to come to a complete stop but was able to keep going local roads, didn’t pull over (was close enough to home that I didn’t want to leave my car on the side of the road if it didn’t start back up again) and the engine eventually cooled down. Got back home to put in more coolant (there was ZERO coolant, never noticed a leak) Car ran fine for about a week, then check engine light came back on. Took it to autozone for a scan, code came out as P26CB. Took it to Toyota for diagnostic and repair, the code they found was P26CB71. Was told by the service advisor that the car should’ve turned off automatically and I shouldn’t have been able to drive it so far with the engine over heating like that. Also was told that the engine was very close to “blowing up”.
I am writing to express a serious safety concern regarding my Toyota Camry. Recently, my daugther experienced a potentially dangerous situation while driving to a doctor’s appointment that I believe requires immediate attention. She was traveling on the highway in the leftmost lane, the fastest lane, when the car unexpectedly began to slow down. Despite pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, the engine revved louder, but the car did not respond or gain any speed. It became clear that the vehicle was losing power, and she was unable to maintain speed, causing a significant slowdown in traffic. As the situation became more alarming, she turned on the emergency lights to alert surrounding drivers, realizing that the car was decelerating despite her efforts. At this point, she was stuck in a very precarious position, with traffic merging from another highway to her right, and she remained in the middle of the road in one of the busiest and fastest lanes. Fortunately, after 15 minutes or so of this uncertainty, a kind passenger helped to push the car to the shoulder, allowing her to get out of the flow of traffic and avoid a potential accident or worse. What is most concerning about this incident is that there were no warning signs or indicators on the dashboard. No engine lights, warning signals, or unusual noises alerted her to any potential issue before or during the power loss. The car simply stopped responding while the engine continued to rev, leaving her stranded in a highly dangerous situation without any forewarning. I rely on my Toyota Camry for daily transportation, and this sudden and unexpected malfunction has shaken both our confidences and others around me about the vehicle’s safety. I request a thorough investigation into this incident to determine the cause of the malfunction, as well as any necessary repairs or inspections to ensure that this does not happen again. Toyota dealer has advised me there is no recall and there is nothing they can do.

Low Braking power light came on
Shifted the operating car from park to drive when the car suddenly and unexpectedly took off even though I was not touching the accelerator. The car accelerated across the street and slammed into a parked car. The airbags did not deploy which would indicate a low-speed but the pre-collision system did not stop the car which would indicate higher- speed. My car was written off as a complete loss by my insurance carrier and the damage to the parked car that was hit was extensive.
I have a 2018 Toyota Camry SE in which the transmission has completely failed. If I drive the car without having it completely replaced it hesitates when trying to excel. I was almost hit several times while trying to pull out into traffic where the car wouldn't shift and accelerate when it needed to move quickly.
Out of nowhere, the steering became very stiff and there was lots of difficulty with the wheel returning to center. This put myself and others at risk as it would be difficult to steer and in a moment where I would have to react fast to avoid an accident, my car would not be able to help. My car was initially inspected by a mechanic that ran diagnostics and nothing electrical showed up. My car is currently getting looked at by a Toyota Dealership. I was told there was a recall in 2022 for the intermediate shaft assembly being faulty. My car showed no signs on the dashboard of any issues. It was just random.
Couple days ago I notice both my tailights weren’t working also my license plates lights and parking lights weren’t working and also my headlights parking light don’t work anymore they all went bad at the same time. At night time nobody can’t barely see me besides my reflectors so nobody can’t see my at night time. The only thing tht works is mine brake light turn signal and brake light.
The transmission has completely malfunctioned. The car started stalling in traffic. It then stopped registering gears and stopped pulling. The car was taken to a shop who stated transmissions issues along with a brake assist failure. The torque converter has not been released by Toyota. My car has 139000 miles. I have researched this issue and many others have reported the same problem!
Dashboard making noise
About a month ago my daughter left the toyota dealership in Bradenton fl. after an oil change. She drove several hundred feet, the car stalled and she couldn't start it. The mechanic crew had to push it back into the service area, after been there for 2 days they found no problem, Just last Monday [XXX] she filled the car up at a gas station, as she was leaving the car stalled again and she couldn't start it, the car was towed back to same dealership, they could find a problem after being there another 2 days. I believe it's a computer chip problem, which hasn't been resolved by Toyota, I don't want my daughter to have an accident and get hurt due to this problem, perhaps your agency can look into this toyota problem INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
i live in Florida. We get a lot of rain. My Toyota Camry 2018 is unsafe and actualy dangerous to drive in the rain as the wiper speed, even on high, is too slow. Most of the time I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDEOF THE ROAD AND HOPE THAT NO ONE CRASHES INTO ME. THIS Iis EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERS ARE ALL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. WHY HASNT THERE BEEN A RE-CALL TO FIX THIS? THANK-YOU.
While driving on the highway brakes became squishy and the brake warning light came one. Dash displayed “Low brake power. Stop in a safe place” message.
On 9/6/24 I pulled up to the gas pump and couldn’t stop. My brake light and warning light came on. I called Toyota and one of their service team members said it was covered because it was part of a repair kit that was completed on 9/2023. They then said that they did a recall repair at that time which involved the brake vacuum pump. I was not told this at the time. Now they say that this has failed and they refuse to fix it. I had no issues with my brakes until now. I haven’t seen any recalls on this car and I feel that Toyota don’t want to stand by there work.They were only repairing two sensors and they changed my rear brakes.
The Shifting solenoid malfunctioned, burned up transmission and created a hazard on the roadway in high traffic areas. Vehicle stalled creating a backup in traffic and myself almost got rear ended. The Red McCombs Toyota did confirm it was a solenoid malfunction through a phone call and video. They concluded that the car is not operable. The problem has been inspected and was advised to pay a hefty fee of nearly $10,000. Prior to the failure no lights or warnings were provided by the car’s electrical system not until I parked and restarted the car that the lamps turned on after the failure.

I’m filing a complaint because I had scheduled a recall and maintanance appt problably a year or two ago. On the day of, a few hours later I am told the recall can not be fullfilled because the car part was unavailable and had to be ordered. I was told I would get a call once the part came to the shop. I was sent home in my car never got a call back for the shop to fullfill the recall. Moving forward about two months ago I was driving with one of my children when the breaks suddenly stopped working. At the moment I didnt know what was going on so I had called a tow truck a few times until AAA body shop mentioned it might be a recall. Meanwhile I spending money for towing the car and work AAA body shop did. Im very upset because it was a danger to me to my child and whoever I put in that car. I find it unexplainable how I was let go with my car knowing that there was a recall for brakes. This is the reason why I’m filing acomplaint.
The vacuum brake pump assembly malfunctioned and I had the vehicle taken to the dealer that did the original recall for the vacuum brake pump assembly and they inspected the vehicle and told me that was the issue along with the nipple inside the pump had broken off and fell down into the engine and had damaged the cam shaft. Exactly what the recall states. Yes the vehicle can and has been inspected its at the dealer still and has been since 06/12/2024 when this occurred. The safety of my wife and daughter and any other people in any vehicle in front of mine due to the brakes got extremely hard to push and the vehicle would not stop properly. Almost plowed into a jeep wrangler that was in front of her when trying to pull into the grocery store. Yes the dealer Butler Toyota the service manager Thomas is the person I have been directly dealing with and he has tryed to contact toyota to get an answer and they wont give an answer. He has even contacted his southwest toyota service contact and they have tryed to get some info for me but no answers. The vehicle has been inspected by the service manager and a technician from Butler toyota and thats where all my service and the recall was done. There was no warning or messages before this but when the pump went out and the brakes would not stop the car there is a message in the info center now that this occurred. My wife and daughter was on there way home from dance and was stopping by the grocery store when she went to stop she couldnt almost rammed the back of a jeep in front of her. She pulled into the parking lot turned the car off and called me. When I arrived about 15 minutes later there was i thought brake fluid all under the car. I then had another person ask if i needed help and i asked him would he help me push the car just about a foot or so backwards to see what was leaking. When i put my finger in it it was motor oil. I immediately told my wife that it was not drivable and took the vehicle to Butler Toyota
Driving down the road about 25 miles an hour, slowed further to take a left turn when the power sreering suddenly gave out. The steering wheel became extremly difficult to turn and resulted in me slowing to a crawl to safely make the turn. If cars were near there could have been a colision.
I was driving my car when a light came on the dash board with sign stating low brake power. I had to pull over as the brake became stiff and stopped working.
I was driving down a dirt road about 30 mph when my vehicle wouldn’t come to a stop when braking. the master warning light popped up on my dash, next to the word ‘BRAKE’ in all red letters. on my dash also read ‘Low Braking Power. Stop in a safe place. see owners manual’.(photo is attatched, sorry it’s blurry i was trembling) no other warning signs or messages were on my dash prior to the incident. this happened VERY suddenly. luckily the incident happened when i wasn’t going very fast. had it happened 5 minutes prior when i was going about 75 mph down a narrow fm road, i probably wouldn’t be here to explain what happened. I could have crashed my car, hit someone else, there is numerous possibilities that could have happened. I thank God for watching over me and my child. i will be contacting the dealership tomorrow to see what can be done.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact that while driving 60 MPH and attempting to complete a turn, upon depressing the brake pedal, the contact became aware that the brake pedal was stiff and had seized in the depressed position. As a result, the contact briefly lost control of the vehicle, coming to a complete stop in a field after leaving the roadway and engaging the parking brake. The service brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V890000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The VIN was included, and the remedy was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 101,000.

On hot days, fuel vapor escapes from the gas tank's filler pipe and condenses and pools inside the fuel access door. The area around the car smells of gas. Sometimes it runs down the side of the car and drips on the ground. This has ruined the paint. We can't put the car in the garage because of the smell, and we are concerned that in an accident there could be a fire. We don't know what part has failed. Toyota installed an upgraded gas cap, but leak is still happening. The safety risks are breathing of gas fumes in and around the car, and the increased risk of fire in an accident. We kept a detailed log of the conditions under which this happens, and shared the log and also video recordings with Freeman Toyota near us in Santa Rosa California. We left the car with them for two hot days (XXX 2024) and they were able to reproduce the problem. The leakage is noticeable only in hot weather, so we first observed the problem in the summer of 2020. Below I have entered the most recent date when we observed the problem (with the upgraded gas cap): [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Door actuators. I replaced the driver side actuator within the first two years of ownership and now the front passenger door actuator is going bad.
Received while driving notification on driving panel car needed to be taken to the dealership immediately. I returned vehicle to service department of where I purchased the car. I also had an engineer from the bureau of automotive repair evaluate my car. The engineer attested the issue was a result of a design flaw.

My 2018 Toyota camry le electric water pump failed and car is over heating. There was a recall for certain VIN# but I can't find my vehicle with VIN# affected. Today at 74500 miles my car water pump failed
Trunk opens extremely fast and almost hits the rear window glass. It flings open so fast I’m afraid it is going to break and shatter my rear window glass.
Upon leaving my home the “check engine” light turned on suddenly after only less than 2 minutes of driving . The “ICS malfunction” light also turned on. The car pulled and stalled when pushing the gas and velocity stalled. Engine light turned said something similar to “engine overheating park in a safe place” . Not sure exact words. I was able drive less then one mile to get the car to Toyota Penske of Downey. I had the diagnostic done and the service provider stated the car needed an electrician water pump replacement. My car has very little mileage and was not running for long for it to over heat.
Toyota told me my car isn’t part of NHTSA# 18V200000.. car has all the symptom.. losing power at driving speed. ICS malfunction take to dealer check engine light on .. dealer states it’s water pump .. $1400.. how do you lose power from water pump ..?

The cars "Brake Power Low" warning light illuminated on the dash. This was covered as the Brake Vacuum pump for another 2018 Camry that we have, but is not a recall for our other Camry. I am taking it in to Servco Hawaii to diagnose the issue, but again, this was the same issue that our other Camry had. The brake is spongy, and I checked the brake fluid to ensure that it was topped off. This was the first time that I noticed the brakes being spongy.

Car was brought to dealership for brake vacuum booster recall. After being assessed it was lowered to the ground and the Front RH Strut /Spring Assembly broke free from the vehicle - The internal portion of the mount was completely rusted apart thus detaching from the outer “shell” of the strut mount leading to a completely unsafe condition that required repair. The vehicle has 145,000 miles and no other signs of rust near this part, parts related too, or on the body panels near this area. Parts have since been replaced and car is operational. Could have caused accident if coil Spring broke free of assembly during regular driving. No warning lights, strange noises or other indicators spoke to how decayed this part was. Not caught during inspection prior to car being purchased 2 yrs ago.

In the last maintenance carried out at Courtesy Toyota, Brandon, I informed the Dealer that the Check Engine Light was on, I told them that I had visited 3 different places on the same day to detect the fault and it told me that the problem was the code P26CB, Water Pump. They told me that they had to diagnose the car one more time and that the cost was $200.00 (this is a scam when the problem was already detected). Additionally, I understood that the water pump of my vehicle model had a recall, because it came out with a factory defect and a new car is practically not one for the water pump to be broken in such a short time. The Dealer did not want to solve this problem in the warranty of this claim, who informed me that I had to pay $1400.00 for this repair ($500 for the part and 900 Labor) (another bigger scam) so I had to buy the part from Toyota OnLine to solve it. It is unfair that in such a short time a part of the vehicle is damaged due to a manufacturing problem and the Dealers (who we all know that their main objective is to obtain profits rather than solutions for their clients) abuse and do not assume the brand's responsibility to solve problems and projecting a negative image towards them. The warning lights were on the vehicle's dashboard indicating to stop and visit the Dealer, but no solution was possible on their part. Many people have complained about this damaged part of the vehicle in these models due to the electric water pump that does not have the required duration.
The transmission stopped working at approx 78,000 miles. The car completely died while driving with my children in the car. The tech said the fluid was black and there was no apparent cause of the transmission damage.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Customer Support Program: 22TE02. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 50,000.
1.The transmission in my vehicle suffered not one, but two failures or malfunctions. Regrettably, as of March 13, 2024, I am no longer in possession of the vehicle. However, I do possess video footage, photographs, and a diagnostic report from the Toyota dealership, along with statements that I personally addressed to Toyota USA regarding the matter. 2.The transmission failure jeopardized both my safety and that of others on the road. While driving, I experienced a dangerous situation where pressing the gas pedal resulted in the engine revving, but the car failed to accelerate when necessary, posing a significant risk during critical moments. 3.The dealership confirmed the issue on two separate occasions. This problem occurred twice and was verified by the dealership. 4.The dealership conducted an inspection on the vehicle, but to my knowledge, no inspection was carried out by the police, manufacturers, insurance representatives, or any other parties. 5.Instantaneously the failure occurred, warning lamps, messages, and other symptoms indicating the problem were present.
Vehicle should have automatic emergency braking safety feature when vehicle is driving in “Reverse”. I made a very careless and dangerous mistake because I was in a rush and placed my vehicle in “Reverse” instead of “Park”, immediately after parking on the street in front of my friend’s house. Not realizing the vehicle was in reverse, I quickly opened the driver’s side door and placed my left foot on the street as I was getting out. Suddenly, the moving vehicle and opened driver’s side door knocked me down on the street and continued to drive in reverse crushing my body. The vehicle should have stopped the moment it hit something or before it hit something. Instead, the vehicle smashed me against the pavement, rolled right over me, and then continued in reverse at a rapid speed. At the same time, my friend was getting out of the front passenger side and was almost pinned against a telephone pole that the opened passenger side door hit, but thankfully she got out of the way just in time. The car, however, continued running in reverse. Another friend had to run down the street and literally jump in the driver’s side to quickly place his foot on the brakes. I was still laying injured on the street in agony, and sustained multiple injuries.
Driving down the interstate it started snowing and it was a wet snow so it was sticking to the front of the car. Warning light for the front collision light came on and said was disabled or something like that. It was also white outs during this snow storm so with that out not knowing if there's a car in front of me put not only my life but my husband's life in danger. Once we stopped for gas and cleared front of car off it was fine. We've owned this car since 2018 and this is the 1st snowstorm we've encountered this.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that extra effort was needed while turning the steering wheel, and for the steering wheel to return to center. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a diagnostic test was performed. The dealer confirmed that the vehicle was outside the production date for a Customer Support Program. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.
I brought my car in for maintenance and while the vehicle was on the lift, the top mounting bracket of both front MacPherson struts failed and allowed the coil spring to decompress to the furthest extent allowed by the other suspension components. Both struts catastrophically failed within 10 minutes of each other, causing a loud violent bang, but not immediately when the tires were lifted off the pavement. By all measures, this is a design flaw that allowed moisture to be trapped in the top strut mount which greatly accelerated this component's failure. Every other visible portion of the strut and all other components on the under carriage look almost pristine, showing almost no corrosion. The maintenance and subsequent repair did not occur at a Toyota Dealership
Turned on the car Drove about 30 seconds and car states that secondary pre collision emergency brake and it just stops on a busy street With no other signs of defect ever . My vehicle goes to the dealership constantly and is very well taken care of
The Car would not go above 2000 Rpm’s and would jerk back and fourth when trying to go above 2000 RPMS
On [XXX] my daughter brought her 2018 Toyota Camry with 62k miles into Mike Calvert Toyota of Houston Texas for brake noise. The service department evaluated the car and recommended that the rear brakes be replaced. With that advice she had the work done. She left the dealership that day and went home and the car sat until the morning of [XXX]. She had some traveling to do out of town and returned that same day. She got within 45 miles of her destination when I got a frantic phone call from her saying that she was traveling at a high rate of speed and was unable to stop. The warning on the vehicle says Low Braking Power. I was able to have her put her hazard lights on a get to the shoulder where she couldn't get her speed below 10 miles per hour. She was able to use the E-break and an elevated surface to get the car to a safe spot some 45 miles away. We have made numerous attempts to get the dealership to tell us why this happened. Initially they stated that the calipers failed. After calling repeatedly we were told it was a defective part that was installed and they needed to get a new one in. The dealership refuses to answer any phone calls or emails. I have appealed to the GM on numerous occasions and the Owner with no replies. We need NHTSA to investigate whether this dealership is doing faulty work that jeopardizes lives or did Toyota fail to recall this vehicle and the issue is more wide spread. I fear for the public safety if the issue is more wide spread. This vehicle was not part recalled for brake issues. The VIN appears to be clear of those recalls.

The xle Camry 2018 models moonroof/sunroof, stops working and there is no safety close option for the moonroof. It gets stuck open and the only option to get it to close is a $10,000 repair. I have extended warranty that will cover this plus 14 days of a car rental, but the dealership cannot guarantee when the parts will be in, so I have approximately more than 30 days for my car to be repaired. So I still have to pay more than $1600 for fees plus car rental and no assistance from Toyota. (this is including there is more than 3 cars at the dealership with the same issue).

I am writing this letter because, on August 1, 2023, my wife, and I, were involved in an accident with our 2018 Toyota Camry, which may have been due to SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, a defect which affected Camry owners for over 10 years, and is still happening. Most of these accidents occurred when the driver was pulling slowly into a parking space and their car suddenly accelerated strongly and couldn’t be stopped by hitting the brakes. The car only stopped when it hit a solid object. This often resulted in serious injuries, even death. On August 1, my wife was driving the Camry (I was in the front passenger seat) and she was in the process of slowly pulling into a parking space at Parkside Town Commons in Cary, with her foot on the brake. Without warning, the car suddenly accelerated and she was unable to stop it by hard braking. The car jumped the curb in front of it and climbed a landscaped incline, only stopping when it crashed into a wrought iron fence in front if it. There were no vehicle warning messages prior to the accident. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the Camry had over $6,000 in damages and the fence was bent badly where the car hit it. We called the Cary Police and a Police Report was made. No tickets were issued by the Cary Police. Our Toyota dealer referred us to a higher level Toyota office that deals with special vehicle problems, which we called. We reported the accident, they said it would be reviewed. We have had no response from theToyota higher level office since. Though the damage was repaired, we are very worried that if our Camry has a SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION defect, we could suffer another such accident anytime. It is very critical to have our vehicle inspected for such a flaw, whether in electronics, the throttle, brakes, or anything else. As this problem is an important safety issue, we feel the need to have it checked out. Would appreciate your assistance.
I all of a sudden started smellinggas but could not find any leaking underneath the car, also my car started giving lower mileage. Called the extended warranty and submitted the car to Firestone auto care. They ran a fuel system inspection and found leak. They removed and replaced the the fuel line and fuel pump. They said the can was at risk of catching fire and this is unusual

No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 92,000.
The fuel door release mechanical system has not been working since the car was purchased. The fuel door release mechanical system has very flimsy parts. I believe that this model and year also had a recall on the fuel pump because of a flimsy part as well.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that after shifting into park, the air condition system was activated, and the engine revved with the RPM elevated.

Replaced brakes in June on the 19th, 23rd and my brakes are squeaking and goes all the way to the floor sometimes before my brakes actually works. I have take my car back to Toyota twice and they said nothing is wrong with my car. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed so it can be fixed IMMEDIATELY!!!
Electric power system warning light comes on, indicates a malfunction in the EPS, why is Toyota ignoring this problem, this warning comes on at different times
Since we bought the vehicle new in late 2018, in hot weather we sometimes see gas running down the side of the car below the filler pipe door, and a little puddle of gas on the rubber just inside the filler pipe door. We can't park the car in our garage because of the gas fumes, and we worry that in a collision, the underlying cause could make a fire more likely. We've had the car to the dealer service department and they can't find a cause. I know from a www search that other Camry owners have had the same problem. The dealership wants us to leave the car with them long enough for them to observe the problem, but we can't handle the financial risk of the service and the car rental while our car is at the garage being monitored for the problem. And of course it is a waste of time trying to get Toyota to take responsibility, which is why we're writing to you. The date entered in this submission is the first time we noticed it (it was the first hot weather since we bought the car).
Low braking power message and
Car does not accelerate from stop at a traffic light intermittently. THis poses a risk/hazard as the car behind it closes on it and expects the car to move forward . The vehicle was recalled a year ago for a fuel pump that was supposed to cause the same issue. Its been replaced and the issue has shown up again and now cannot be reproduced by the manufacturer.
Electric power steering warning light which indicates a malfunction in the EPS system comes on almost every other week. If there is a software update for this problem why Toyota does not fix it? Are they waiting for an accident to happen?
Low break power
Wipers are too slow to safely see during a downpour of rain - went to dealer - was told nothing was wrong with wiper speed. This is my 4th Toyota and 3rd Camry and all other cars had a faster speed. I noticed this before but thought it was me - but after a 9 hour drive during heavy rain storms - I realized it is the car,

Subject: Concerns Regarding TSB T-SB-0017-23 for Toyota Camry HV Vehicles Dear NHTSA, I am deeply concerned about the recently released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) T-SB-0017-23 by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. This TSB addresses a potential issue with the active grille air shutter actuator in specific 2018-2020 Camry HV vehicles equipped with the A25A-FXS engine. Releasing the TSB in April 2023, after the warranty periods for many affected vehicles have expired, is unfair to owners. A 2018 Camry HV's warranty period of 36 months/36,000 miles ended in 2021. This situation raises significant concerns as it burdens owners with the financial responsibility of repairs for an issue that was not their fault, potentially compromising safety if repairs are not promptly carried out. Toyota's inadequate efforts to ensure all affected owners have access to necessary repairs are disheartening. I urgently appeal for a thorough investigation and decisive action to ensure that regardless of warranty status, all owners of affected Camry HV vehicles can obtain essential repairs. I would like to bring attention to a similar TSB, T-SB-0319-17, issued by Toyota in November 2017 for Prius Prime 2017 and 2016-2017 models. This TSB addressed a comparable issue with the active grille air shutter actuator. Toyota extended the warranty for affected vehicles in California by 180 months or 150,000 miles, aligning with the manufacturing year and ensuring all vehicles were covered. The repair was covered under the California Emission Warranty for specific states. The discrepancy in approach between the two TSBs raises concerns about the fairness and consistency of Toyota's actions. It is crucial for Toyota to extend similar warranty coverage for affected Camry HV vehicles, ensuring all owners have access to necessary repairs without financial hardship. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I urge prompt action in addressing these concerns.
2018 Toyota camry hybrid at a stop sign the car would not engage into drive while it was on ""D" when I let my foot off the brake to hit the gas, the cars "BRAKE HOLD system" failed. I then shut the car off and back on to reset the car, which allowed me to get to the next STOP sign and It happened again a few times until I made it home.
my car has only 56 K on the odometer and suddenly last week my steering wheel starting to get stuck, at time it feels like it is locking, and then a second later is normal. i see there is a recall for power steering #22TE02, but when i search my vin #, this recall is not showing for my car
My instrument panel went black. I can no longer tell how fast I'm going I can no longer tell if my safety features are on or off. I can no longer see if my tire pressure is good or bad. I've checked the fuses and there is no blown fuse. Also my odometer reading is on this screen and I'm not able to see it.
Multiple system malfunctions lights stay on. Dealer does not not what the issue is. Windshield wiper and signal light also not working.
I bought the car 6/23/21 and since then The electrical power steering system light indicates a malfunction , I had it serviced three times and so far the warning sign still goes on, I called Toyota and they can't help me, I do not want to wait for an accident to happen before it is taken care of.
I started getting weird shifting and hesitation I had around 70,000 miles took it to my local Toyota dealership, they completed several software updates. Also did a transmission fluid change that didn’t really resolve the problem now at about 113,000 miles I started getting odd shifting, and at higher speeds, when accelerating abruptly, the vehicle put itself in limp mode and will not accelerate further. Add 115,000 miles I took the vehicle into the Toyota dealership because the check engine light came on after accelerating onto the highway and the vehicle stalling and upon their investigation they found out that I would be needing a new transmission which is a little odd at 115,000 miles with the car only be five years old. Toyota, you should do better.
Electric power steering system warning light keeps coming on which indicates a malfunction in the EPS, comes on and off at different times, since I bought the car in June 23, 2021
Last May I took my 2018 Camry in due to "low braking Power" light coming on. Toyota informed me that it was part of a recall and they did not know how long it would take. It was over a month and they fixed the problem. Now a year later, the same problem is taking place. Again, "low braking power" signal is coming on.
Low brake pressure
2018 Toyota Camry- Consumer has steering issue and submitted copy of complaint sent to NJ Office of Attorney General Division of Community Affairs- Consumers Comment Letter & Note of referral. Attached is the Invoice for repair and inspection report.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the steering wheel was stiff. While driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was difficult to turn. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
During replacement of Brake Light Switch, observed that original switch nut was installed up-side-down. Replaced switch, because vehicle intermittently would not go into gear. It is highly likely that brake lights were also not working intermittently. Vehicle only had 20K miles and I assume it came from Factory with the switch nut installed up-side-down. This condition allows the brake switch to be misaligned.
Low braking power. Car couldn’t move
Steering wheel is becoming harder and harder to turn right or left
I purchased a brand new 2018 toyota camry le with nothing but problems from the beginning. The brakes have been bad from day 1. The make noise when braking and they supposedly fixed it. I was driving on the freeway down a hill and when I went to press on the brakes they did not do anything and I had the pedal all the way down. I had to pump the brakes putting me and my passengers in danger. The engine hesitates when accelerating. I took it in twice already and they don't know what the issue is. Once it finally decides to go it accelerates excessively putting the driver in danger. This has been going in for years.
The car’s dashboard will light up and all systems started failing with no warning while driving. The car will not accelerate, brake, or steer properly. It happened twice and the Toyota mechanics couldn’t figure out what was happening and just tried changing something out on the engine. A few months later the same thing happened again (today). This is very dangerous as I have no control when it happens and I can’t control the car. In all instances, I was driving on a busy road, the entire dash lit up, I couldn’t accelerate despite pushing it all the way down with my foot, and I couldn’t steer the car. Luckily, I was able to get off the road before I was in an accident.
After continued usage steering becomes stiff and turning becomes very difficult. This then possess a safety risk to not only the driver but other drivers. The cause is failure of the intermediate steering shaft. Toyota has recalled 170,000+ 2018 Camrys because of this - https://www.tsbsearch.com/Toyota/22TE02, but it is clear as per my incident and other online forums, there are 2018 Carmys that have not been recalled where the intermediate steering shaft fails without notice. When the dealership was called, they said they were well aware of the problem and stated they would order the part even before my car was taken to the shop, even though the repair was not covered under my VIN. The dealership replaced the intermediate steering shaft at a cost to me. There were no warning lights or other symptoms prior to the failure. The failure first appeared around March 27th, 2023.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where replacement tires were purchased. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 95,000. The tire failure mileage was 33,000.
That gas damper strut on the trunk lid failed, allowing the trunk lid to sprint open dangerously fast. I have been hit in the face with it and also on the top of my head when it rebounds. The car is available for inspection. We will have the car serviced soon and have them confirm the failure. The car/failure has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or others.

on Feb 20, 2023, during my evening lunch break about 7:30 pm, I drove my car to a nearby gas station to fill it. As I was attempting to back into place, my brakes froze and a "Low Braking Power" message appears in my dash and my car hit a pole because it would not stop. On Feb 21, 2023, I towed it to our family mechanic who informed me that there was a recall on this issue and to take it to a dealer instead. I had it towed to Temecula Valley Toyota. They offered me a rental car while they repaired the recall issue and sent a request to Toyota to repair the damage to my bumper from the loss of brake performance. I was told there would be no charge because it was a recall. They wanted a deposit of $100 since we only had a debit card not a credit card. on March 8, someone left a message on my voicemail saying Toyota said they were only paying for 2 days and they wanted to let us know they would be charging a substantial amount to our car. This time of the call was 4:48Pm. We called back at 4:55p and got no answer. I immediately checked my bank statement and I had been charged $675. Toyota has had my car since 2-21-23 and no info on its return. Customer Service Relation person called after we did an online complaint with Toyota, and also with a Toyota person at Toyota.com named Matthew. The Customer Relations person who called around 3-18 or 3-19 and said the case was with Toyota Legal. Its 3-28-23 and no information. We want our $675.00 back because we have auto insurance that covers rentals @ $51 per day. We have reported the accident to Farmer's who cannot access our car as long as its at Toyota. We have paid our note and have not had usage of our car and we want that car note returned as well.
The a25a-fks engine fails to idle properly and will stall at times due to a cylinder imbalance. ICS malfunction light comes on as well. This puts other people at risk because a vehicle stalling or malfunction of the Toyota Safety Sense system can lead to car accident. Vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics and couldn’t find the root of the problem. Was told to go to a Toyota Dealership. A Toyota dealership inspected the vehicle, done several tests, swapped computer modules and couldn’t find the cause. The dealership replaced fuel injectors, fuel pump and had done a cleaning on the intake and the vehicle still had the trouble code. 4K worth of work and the vehicle still persisted with the issue. What I first noticed from the car was an odd knocking noise when starting the car, followed by excessive white smoke at idle, parking sensors not working, the car improperly starting for the first time followed by a ICS Malfunction, blinking parking sensor icon and check engine light. Code: P219C. The dealership wants to charge me 10K to take the engine apart to either replace a faulty part (within the engine) or putting in a new engine all together. Several recalls for Toyota Camrys from 2018 and 2020 have sighted defects with the engine blocks causing white smoke and stalling. These recalls should be extended to more manufacturing months as this is a noticeable flaw.

Transmission issues car will not accelerate and then will abruptly speed up. The vehicle will stall at 15 mph and then shift and shake. The safety of driver put at risk while on the road because the car would go from 15 mph to 40 mph and traffic following behind could potentially rear end vehicle. Dealership inspected vehicle and informed Camry will need new transmission, no warranty left, current mileage only 69,500. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to failure. The vehicle was serviced at Toyota late December and no transmission issues indicated. The vehicle was purchased new directly from Toyota dealership. The vehicle should not have transmission issues with mileage of only 69,500. Toyota has failed consumers enormously with the 2018 Camry SE model.
Hello, for the recall on the brake assist, this was repaired at Brunswick Toyota on 7/8/2022. I have documentation I'd like to provide as evidence for this.

Steering wheel hard , to turn
Toyota Camry 2018 SE - 8-speed automatic transmission fails to engage properly when leaving stoplight or making slow turn from highway. Left stoplight and made left turn at next intersection where transmission failed to engage and vehicle stopped moving (engine remained on but transmission disengaged). Number of following vehicles made emergency maneuvers to avoid the stopped vehicle. Put vehicle in Park, turned off ignition then restarted. Vehicle OK after that (this was fourth time a similar incident occurred with subject vehicle). Toyota dealer in Katy TX could not identify source of problem and indicated that nothing could be done to help. No other technical inspection was conducted other than by Toyota technicians. No warning lamps or signs prior to failure.
Driving on the freeway, cruise control set, a remnant of a large tire was in my lane, I could not avoid hitting it, it caused my car to lose control, drive up on the concrete divider placed by construction crews, came back down to the freeway and hit the back of a semi causing my car to then spin out of control and eventually landing in a ditch. The entire front end of the car was damaged, the car was deemed totaled by the auto repair place. During this incident none of the airbags deployed.
While traveling 54 mph my transmission stop responding to my gas peddle input. I pulled over to the side of the highway and placed the selector into neutral and back into drive which help with the problem but it returned within minutes. The check engine light illuminated and I drove to the mechanic and was told that the diagnostic code was the transmission sensor and the sensor was checked but know problems were found. With this car, I have pulled into the highway, in traffic , in the car stalled, as if it had extreme Turbo Lag which is very dangerous. The transmission is awful.
There are multiple warning lights on my dash at this time. The following malfunctions are showing on my dash at this time: Pre-Collision System Malfunction, LDA Malfunction, Headlamp malfunction, SRS Malfunction, Low Braking Power, Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction, Power Steering Malfunction, Antilock Brake System Malfunction. These started coming on around two weeks ago. I have no blinkers available and my steering stiffens to where the car is almost undriveable. I contacted Toyota corporate office and the representative said she has not heard of these warnings, but they are on many Toyota forums on the internet. I took the vehicle to Toyota North in Goodlettsville, TN on 10/12/2022 and they can not tell me what is wrong with my car. I feel it is a safety hazard to drive this car at this point since this car has automatic braking power. I also have videos available, if needed. This is going to cause someone to get seriously hurt.

Purchased this 2018 Toyota Camry SE from DCH Wappingers Falls Toyota as a "Certified Pre-owned Vehicle". During early periods of ownership, the transmission noticeably experienced hard, jerking shifts during acceleration and de-acceleration between the first several gears of this 8-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was brought back to the selling Toyota dealer where they said the transmission's performance was within spec and this was "normal" for this transmission. The most recent return for the transmission problem was April 2022 where the service advisor at the selling Toyota dealership stated their mechanic confirmed both that the vehicle received the software update issued by one of Toyota's TSB's (Technical Service Bulletin) which addressed owners/complainants' reports of hard shifting, and they confirmed the transmission had the proper level of fluid. It was noted there is no dipstick to check transmission fluid and I was informed this has to be done by a mechanic with the car on a lift from underneath the Camry. On Friday evening 09/24/2002, while driving Camry, the transmission began to stutter andsoon failed to engage ANY of it's gears and when pressing on the accelerator, the engine would Rev with increased RPM's, but the vehicle would not move. It had to be towed back to the DCH Wappingers Falls Toyota Dealership where it is currently parked with an inoperable transmission awaiting a diagnosis for either repair -o- replacement.

I don't know why
I was driving down the road on interstate at 70 mph and my 2018 Toyota Camry SE warning message steering power low alarm and one to two seconds later my steering wheel pulled violently to the right barely missing truck in right lane by inches. I was in center lane. I was fortunate it was not rush hour and no vehicles were in back of the truck in his right lane where the car was steered. Toyota dealer was approximately one mile and half way. I went to the far right emergency lane driving slowly and arrive at dealer. Service manager drove the car around the parking lot and said I had steering failure and will need to replace rack and pinion parts. The car had approximately 30,500 miles only. I am fortunate my car was at the rear of the truck back tires when this happened. This is was a very close near miss. Toyota has been of no help in this matter wanting me to pay $3700 dollars for repairs. A set of tires last longer than this rack and pinion. How safe can a car be if you can not reply on your steering.?

When opening the trunk the trunk lid opens very fast and makes contact with the rear window. This has a very high potential to break the rear glass making it unable to see out off.
The hood doesn't stay open. The hood uses two gas struts to be opened and they failed causing the hood to slam into my head and neck. The hood doesn't have a prop up bar which can keep the hood propped open. My car is a 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 70,000 miles on it. The hood was opened all the way for 5 minutes before it slammed shut on me.
While entering the highway/merging onto on ramp. Have to yield to merge, upon slowing or reaccelerating. Vehicle hesitates and feels as if gear not catching/slipping.
Fuel\propulsion system, There was no power given to the engine when I turned a corner with an exorbitant amount of time. There was a car at least 100 yards away. When I put my foot on the gas pedal there was no power. It felt like the car did not switch gears for the fuel pump or Pistons just were not working correctly. The car almost rear-ended me and caused a major accident. This has happened multiple times.
Brake light switch failure causing loss of break lights and other safety features such as emergency stopping, lane change notification, loss of anti-lock brakes,and other safety features.
The car is currently bricked and I am receiving messages on dash telling me power brakes are not functioning and parking brakes unavailable low power braking also electronic issues with my front camera is not functioning but I don’t have a front camera.
The entire brake system became inoperative on my 2018 Toyota Camry on two separate occasions causing a near fatal accident and damaged to my property and to the property of the other driver on the road. The first incident occurred on the freeway while I was driving behind another vehicle. As my car approached the other vehicle, I press down on the brake pedal all the way but my car would not slow down or stop but continue to accelerate thus causing me to rear end the other car. My car gave no prior warning that the brake system was malfunctioning. I was deemed by the insurance company as the responsible party for the accident thus my insurance premium was increased. The second incident occurred when I was in a residential area approaching my driveway. The car again failed to stop when I pressed down on the brake pedal. The emergency hand brake did not work either. I had no choice but to shift the car into parking which cause me to hit the curve and only inches away from my garage door. The brake fluid under the hood of my car bursts thus leaking the fluid all over the street and my driveway. Both of these incidents caused my elderly mother and myself great emotional stress and post traumatic symptoms. Prior to this Toyota issued a recall on all 2018 to 2019 Toyota Camry for the potential brake failure. I had to towed my car to the Toyota dealership for repair. It has been over 3 months and Toyota has done nothing to remedy this problem. They claim the parts for the brakes are back order and that there is a shortage of parts everywhere. This is the only answer I get when I call them for an update. I have spoken to the service manager, the customer relation manager and the corporate office but none are willing to assists me to resolve this matter.
When vehicle is stopped from slow speeds, the car lurches to a stop because the brakes grab much harder than the pressure being applied to the brake pedal would indicate. These touchy brakes can alarm passengers in the vehicle and pedestrians near the vehicle causing them to be frightened that the vehicle hit something. Toyota developed a fix for this problem which is described by T-SB-0033-20 but the fix was not published until 4/8/20 (less than 6 months before my 36 month warranty expired) and was only applicable to vehicles in warranty so when I discovered the fix, my car was out of warranty and Toyota refuses to perform the fix at no charge.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 13,600. The VIN was not available.
For the past few months I have experienced a sudden loss of power while driving on the freeway and/or while attempting to accelerate. The car will stall, lose power, the engine will rev but not propel the car. I took my vehicle to the dealership twice before they acknowledged that there was an active recall and kept my vehicle for 2 months before calling me and telling me my car was fixed and returning it to me. I drove the car for about a month before it started doing the exact same thing and suddenly losing power as I was driving on the freeway. I took it back to the dealership and was told that the recall part they fixed (that took 2 months) was for safety recall #21TA09 "Sudden loss of power braking assist" and that the Toyota 2018-19 fuel pump defect recall #20TA02 announced in January of 2020 and ultimately effecting approximately 3.34 million vehicles did not apply to my specific VIN # even though it applies to the year, make, model and issue that I am having. This is a serious safety issue and I am gravely concerned about my own safety and that of any potential passengers I may have in my vehicle. I would like to know what criteria would be necessary to have equitable application of the recall extended to my vehicle (VIN #).

Blank spots in gas pedal
Backup camera suddenly stopped showing video feed to the vehicle screen. No warning lamps were ever produced. The screen works intermittently and will fail for entire ignition cycles once it stops working. I had to dig through diagnostic menus that are hidden to the customer. The screen works as intended when the vehicle is not in reverse. Safety concern is that no check engine lamp was lit when the backup camera circuit failed.
When I got home from work in the early evening, I discovered my rear windshield was completely shattered but it is still together. On my way home, I noticed that I could not see thru my rear windshield and didn't think of it much because we had some rain today and I live in a high humidity city. I turned my rear windshield defroster ON hoping it will clear it but it did not. I turned it OFF and thought to myself maybe the poor visibility was due to dirt accumulation on the windshield after the rain. When I finally got home, I was shocked to discover the rear glass windshield had completely shattered with few pieces had fallen off from all four corners and some from the edges. I immediately started looking for any sign of any object that might have struck the glass and caused the breakage like a rock or hail from the rain earlier, I could not find any. There was no indentations or depression in the glass that would indicate that anything had struck it while it was parked in an open parking lot all day long at a secure site or while driving back home.

I bought my Camry with 5 miles on it. It’s a 2.5L 8 speed Camry SE. immediately I felt something not right when it would shift between 3/4 gear. It would rock back and forth in a jerking motion. The car has trouble shifting in automatic. When putting it into sport mode it automatically starts at 4th geer. It’s as if the gear shifters are not able to communicate with the engine. It’s stall on me when making a turn and I was almost t-boned June of 2018! Finally a recall on the fuel pump. I go take it in immediately to have the recall fix. Upon doing so the mechanic informed me that my vacuum pump seems to be bigger than the one that standard for my car. He said there’s no recall for my vin number but for other cars during that same year there is. So there was nothing I could do but wait for my vin number to be on the recall list. Then In June 2021 I was backing out of a parking spot and there was a truck in my rear cross traffic that was approaching, my Camry sensed the vehicle with it sonar sensor the alert went off and my braking assistance worked accordingly but the system failed to get the Communication clearly to the engine which in return did not slow down the acceleration of the throttle.

Abrupt activation of brakes: new vehicle to present. When first backing out of garage or parking spot, at a slow-creeping speed, without use of throttle pedal, attempting to control backward motion with light brake pedal the vehicle's brakes will abruptly active fully halting rearward motion. Further rearward motion requires driver to completely remove foot from brake pedal but any attempt to control rearward speed by feathering brake pedal often causes a repeat of the abrupt brake activation. This cycle repeats the full length of the vehicle within the garage and the length of the driveway to the street , additionally 5 to 6 times the vehicle length. The problem manifests after a lengthy parking, in both forward and reverse directions. There is often an accompanying discernible mechanical actuator sound coming from the engine compartment that I associate as a Trigger to expect the abrupt braking. The obstacle warning may alarm in the garage but acknowledging it with OK does not effect the abrupt braking cycle which continues the length of the driveway, clear of any obstructions. To be clear, this problem occurs at very slow speeds, about 2 miles per hour. I have been told by the dealership mechanic that the brakes are designed to operate as conventional hydraulic brakes below 5 mph; this of course doesn't explain the actuator noise emanating from under the hood. Once the vehicle has been on the road, the brake's performance improves with only a slight tendency to grab when coming to a stop; It's cause to celebrate when the driver can successively make 5 smooth stops. This problem was experienced by 5 separate drivers, each of whom directly expressed dis-satisfaction. Possibly related to the abrupt braking described above is the sudden activation of the brakes and BRAKE warning in what would otherwise be a controlled stop behind a stopped vehicle at a red traffic light. There an association with: vehicle size -color- brake lite position/intensity.

Spoke with dealer shop manger all he say don’t call me here no more hung up. I tow car to toyota dealer all they say is seven grand to have transmission fix which its not transmission at all the scanner says transmission pass please help me now my car is been repo and because I didn’t pay payment for what because car is not working and running I don’t have money or job without car my life is done I need this car back asap please
All of the warning notifications keep going off. I have been to the dealership 3 times paid for a battery replacement and battery terminal replacement. I was quoted a ridiculous rate for a engine wiring harness replacement, I had to get that replaced by a certified technician but the car is still doing the same thing. I am starting to feel like I was sold a lemon.
We have owned this vehicle since new. Fuel leaks out of the fuel cap when the car is parked overnight. It doesn't matter if the Fuel tank is full or not. When I push the fuel door release button in the car I can hear fuel flowing back to the tank. The leak does not always happen. But it has been happening for at least 2 years. I discussed this with the Toyota dealer and they said it would be $140.00 an hour to look at it. I feel that the fuel pipe and fuel cap are both emission items and should be covered. I also feel this is a possible fire hazard if it starts to leak worse. I have noticed several other people posting this identical problem on line, so I am not imagining things. Its easy for you or Toyota to say take it too your dealer. The way things are going today with shortages of parts and lack of personnel I am nervous about multiple dealer visits before the problems as found
My brakes don’t work. Brake pedal is all the way pushed in and brakes don’t respond. There is not breaking fluid leak or lack of fluid. This is major hazard as I can’t drive my vehicle
Brake booster failed 1 yr ago. At that time, I was told my car does not qualify for the recall because of the VIN batch. So repairs were made out of pocket. Now, I have a letter from Toyota stating I can get reimbursed for the parts and labor. Great! But when I follow the instructions from the letter to navigate the website, the final instruction states to click on "Submit Reimbursement Request". It does NOT exist. I called and spoke with Toyota, They were unaware of this issue. I'm not sure where to go from here. The repair was over $1600 and I had to hunt down the part myself. Due to the recall demand, local dealers did not have the part. A nightmare. I
Break booster vacuum pump needs to be replaced per the diagnostic at the Toyota dealership. My car would not completely start when I was trying to turn it on. The break pad became stiff, unable to press down and a warning message stated “low breaking power”, therefore the car would not turn on and it became not drivable. If this were to happen while I was driving on the road, not only would it put myself in a lot of danger but others as well due to not being able to break. Even though it is not a part of the 2018 Camry recall batch, it is the exact same issue, therefore it is definitely a manufacturing issue.
Hi there, So I have an open recall for my car and the Toyota Service Center is not helping me to fix this issue, I went there two times for the recall and every time they said we don’t have the part yet, we don’t know when it gonna come, and every time they said we gonna call you when we got the part, which they never do, it’s been a month and I am facing issues while driving, brakes are not good, my car is not catching pickup, it looks like it gonna stop soon. So please help me to fix this recall. It’s been more than 2 weeks when I last visited to the Toyota Service Center. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
1st Occurance: Approaching stop sign getting off freeway and brake pedal was hard to depress and brakes slow to work, pulled emergency brake to stop vehicle just in time. No warning lights, no squeaking brakes or grinding noises. We had a long drive approximately 4-5 hours freeway with 1 hour stop before reaching our destination where this occurred. 2nd occurance: Next day in city traffic driving 35-40mph. Noticed brakes getting less effective with each use eventually having to use emergency brake as main brake. Still no lights or noises from vehicle. Pulled over and called Carmax where I financed and had MaxCare to make an appt for brakes to be fixed and diagnosed. Appt was made for a week or so out and in the meantime, driving home to park the vehicle… 3rd and last occurrence:(same day) while approaching a traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop the vehicle. No brake warning light.No dashboard warning lights on at all. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard to stop the vehicle and vehicle did not stop. Pumped the brake pedal a few times and still nothing. Vehicle ended up getting deemed totaled by insurance. Also note: the airbags did not deploy. The accident was a head-on collision with a rock wall going 40-45mph. Seatbelts fastened. Passenger was dazed from hitting head during accident and bleeding. Right leg received a 7 in cut which is now a knurly 3-4 inch scar. I was left carless and basically homeless with no where to stay in an unknown city for weeks until I was able to purchase a bus ticket home. Due to being stuck 6 hours away from home and carless I lost my job. My life has been completely turned upside down and my mental health is continuing to decline. I am unable to take kids to school or sports as well as the park for simple family quality time.

System breaks stoped function when I was driving on freeway 65mph. The inspection is/is not available because they need technicians from the manufacturer. Technicians from the auto repair confirm there is no repair as has been defective. They said the problem might be repair by the second quarter of 2022 I was a high risk and putting all people driving around me in a high risk. The problem has been confirmed by the Toyota auto repair same location where the car was purchased. The inspectors from the manufacturer should be inspecting the vehicle since the first week of January There was no indication of break failure, system brakes malfunction or anything before until the day of the incidente.
Auto stalls at lower speeds(10 to 30 mph) when accelerating from a stop. After slowing as when entering a parking lot or making a turn, and then attempting to accelerate it stalls temporarily, maybe half a minute or so then accelerates like mad. Danger of cars behind me expecting me to proceed and I am unable to do so. Have requested toyoto dealer to check and as this is infrequent he can not confirm or fix. Same problem has been fixed by Toyota on other 2018 Camry by recall. My car has not been recalled.
I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry XLE in May 2020. One week after purchase, the vehicle stalled minutes after putting gas. The Check Malfunction Indicator Lamp came on, and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle turned on again after approximately 30 minutes. Eight months later I received a recall notice regarding a fuel pump malfunction. Toyota replaced the low-pressure fuel pump in March 2021. In early November 2021, the same Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the car shut off. I restarted the vehicle and it turned back on. On November 30, 2021, I put gas in the vehicle, and after approximately 5 minutes of driving the Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle wouldn't turn back on until 20 minutes later. The vehicle was taken in for inspection, but no issues were found. The same Malfunction Indicator Lamp and vehicle stalling continue to occur.
Steering feels stiff at a certain point while turning. Sometimes its worst and sometimes its showing no problem. No any warning light and 1st time the dealership does not identify what was the issue. After couple of week it was getting worst. So I went again to the dealership and then they said had to replace "intermediate steering shaft". Cost nearly 500-600$.
Steering became very tight and thus the Power Steering had drag in it and needed immediate repairing. We felt compromised and felt it was a Safety issue, which the dealer that I am having repair the problem did not know of other reports of this problem. I had heard this problem has happen to others with the 2018 Toyota Camry.
I have had issues with the breaks since I purchased the vehicle. The first recall I got the vacuum pump replaced. I still have the same issue. I have been having the break issue but recently had an issue slamming on my breaks after someone was coming around the corner too fast in my garage and feeling pushback from the break petal and not breaking fully. I actually did hit her care but she only had scratches and decided not to file a claim (I have the date and pictures as well). I bought this Camry feeling confident and I actually worry about my breaks I even got them replaced thinking they were worn out but I still have the same issue.
At complete stops the engine stalls and after you give it some gas it takes off like a jet. I have two kids and I believe this is the most dangerous car I’ve ever brought definitely something wrong with the engines in these cars someone dropped the ball. This occurs often and we almost crashed once when the car took off after a stall

Lost brakes on expressway almost crash I have to paid town to my home.
There’s been a few times when I started my car to head to work and something appears on the dash board that reads ( Air bag malfunction) Then it’s gives me a hard time to steer the car. This has happened ample times. So when it does happen I have to shut the car off and then turn it back on so that the issue on the dash board disappears. I do this 2 to 3 times until it clears. (Very weird).. Every time it happens it’s when I turn my car on to head out to either go to work or do errands. Etc. But i usually shut the car off immediately when I see that it appears on the dash board. When I do , it usually goes away and I can again take control of the steering wheel and the pressure on the steering wheel go back to being normal and manageable. But I’ve noticed that when it does come on there’s a tremendous change in the steering Ps. It reads …. Airbag malfunction.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while his father was driving and making a right turn into the driveway at his residence, the brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to slow down causing the driver to crash into the closed garage door. The vehicle went through the garage door and only stopped after crashing into the inside garage wall. The contact stated that there were skid marks on the floor in the garage. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was damaged. The vehicle was inspected by several friends with automotive knowledge however, a determination was not made as to the cause of the failure. The driver was taken to the Emergency Room for minor contusions to the face and lower back pain. The CT scan showed no major injury or broken bones. There was no police report filed. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle remained inside the garage with the garage door not fully functionable. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V890000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) after researching online however, the VIN was not included. The contact was also concerned that the Forward Collision Avoidance System failed to operate as designed. The contact stated that there was a prior failure several months ago while his father was making a right turn and attempting to stop the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to stop and rear-ended the vehicle in front. There were no injuries to either drivers. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure and a case was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000.
Brakes being difficult to press down randomly causing excess friction on my roters causing shaking/instability/ almost lost control.
I got my 2018 camry brand new. While driving, it will sometimes start jerking. It seems to be getting more frequent and worse. It's almost as if it wants to shut down.
My car started to have issues while driving, especially when I slow down. It wants to die while I’m driving or waiting for traffic so I can turn or entering roundabouts. I recently waited for traffic and found myself turning in front of a semi. I had plenty of time, but through my turn realized that if my car had died that semi would have hit me at 45 mph. There are 2 lights on, check engine and master warning light. I have tried to have the issue fixed twice already and it was better for about 20 miles and then I have the same issue. These issues seem identical to the ones as described in the recalls for the same year make and model of my vehicle, but my specific vin is not part of the recall. I am concerned it is also part of the same issue. (It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall for the fuel pump issue or the incorrect sized pistons)
Transmission shifts absolutely terrible hunts for gears constantly. It’ll clunk going from drive to park. The vehicle hesitates for more than a couple seconds sometimes when merging on the freeway making it dangerous when trying to get on. Toyota needs to recall these transmission and put the ones they fixed in
Turning the steering wheel and returning to forward position made a disconnecting sounds with loose screws sounds inside.
Around 47k miles the steering shaft failed and the vehicle became extremely difficult to steer. The wheel would also not return to center on its own after turning and had to be forced back in order to drive the vehicle straight again. It was almost as if the power steering went out altogether. The dealer was aware of the issue and said that some of the steering column bind and need to be replaced. Causal research such as doing a Google search for "Toyota steering shaft binding" shows that this has been an issue for several years. The fact that the dealer knew about it shows that Toyota is simply ignoring the issue.
The transmission shutters very badly which makes it difficult to merge onto the freeway. It will clunk into drive at times. It also makes a whining noise when speeding up before shifting. I have a 2021 Camry as well and it is much much smoother and has none of the same problems like my 18
The longer I have this car, the more issues arise yearly. When this car was first bought as new I noticed that the car battery would die whenever I didn't drive for a single day. As the years pass the situation just gets worse. Today I was about to drive to work and found to my dismay that the car refuses to start. I couldn't even unlock my car with the key fob buttons, I had to use the key itself to unlock the car door to get in. The trunk refused to open even with the button inside the car, so I had to ONCE AGAIN use my key in the key slot to open. No lights came on when I tried to start the car, usually you can hear the engine struggle to start but not this time. After I had it jumpstarted the engine made a truly weird and strange sound, like rattling but much more higher pitched. Engine also sounded very weak too, much higher pitched than usual, almost like it was going to fade out of power. I have not changed the battery for a bit over 4 years. I don't drive much at all, I have 16K miles accumulated in the 4.5 years I've had this vehicle. I really want to love this car and own it until 100K but with problems like this I don't think this car will even last another 5 years. I'm thinking of selling this after a few years and getting a Lexus SUV instead. Apparently this battery issue is common in modern Toyotas, particularly sedans. I have other relatives with new Toyotas and they all had to have battery replacement in less than 2 years of ownership. It's a bummer that Toyota QC is going down and they are focusing instead on more technology in the cabin. I can only hope and pray that my car won't quit on me in a dark and empty lot one day.
Adding on to my other entry of problems regarding the battery, I have never had to replace a windshield wiper more often in my life. I am convinced this is an issue with the way the wiper mechanism is manufactured. None of the brand new windshield wipers ever last me 3 months without hearing that dreading squeaking sound. My other relatives who have newer Toyotas never have an issue. Their wiping action is clean and quiet, while mine leaves huge streaks on the windshield no matter what. I've tried cleaning the wiper blades, slightly oiling them, even putting on a tiny bit of lotion. I avoid even using my windshield wipers now in the summer season and instead just resort to cleaning the entire car to improve visibility. The wiper blades continue to make that squealing sound unless it is POURING HEAVILY outside, AKA when there is a lot of water on the windshield. I try to limit the wiper intervals to mitigate the issue but nothing seems to help. Even tried out more expensive and better windshield wiping fluid/blades but they don't do anything. I'm thinking that the wiping mechanism was installed incorrectly and is placing too much pressure on the blades themselves. There is not much that the dealerships/repair shops can do as they are not being recalled at all, they can only tell me that the most I can do is to use them VERY sparingly.
I was rear ended when I was braking hard to avoid hitting a dog in the street (where I live you can be sued for running over/injuring a dog). My car speed was about 10 mph give or take, and I was rear ended by a distracted driver (who admitted to using antidepressants on a daily basis) who I believe was going at least 45 mph. My car was pushed forward at least 6 ft and no airbags were deployed. I thought I died because I saw a flash of bright light enveloping my entire vision while my chest and forehead were whipped forward harshly and almost touched my steering wheel. My whiplash injuries are moderately severe and have actually put a few discs along my entire spine and cervical area off-center, continuing to cause extreme back/neck pain and discomfort. I have sharp intermittent pain in my head as well. Had the airbags went off from the steering wheel I strongly believe I would not be in this much pain, having to take time off work to seek treatment a few times a week. I am confused as to why the airbags did not deploy when my car was crashed into behind at such a high speed when viewing footage. Had this happened on the freeway I have no doubt I would be dead from a broken neck or in the hospital as a 'living vegetable' from a cracked spine. Toyota should be making airbag deployment in all types of accidents a priority. Individuals are just as prone to sustaining life threatening injuries when rear ended as during a frontal collision.
TOYOTA needs to amend their vehicle specs. The actual mileage on the car after my 4.5 years of ownership was TOTALLY different than what was claimed. Upon purchase I was able to achieve 44 mpg, and when fueling completely the remaining distance on the display read about 400 miles. Now I can only achieve 22 mpg and when fueling vehicle completely it now reads 320 miles remaining. This is a LIE and must be admitted by Toyota that it is a grim underestimate. Driver habit has nothing to do with this, I am a very careful (almost slow) driver and the fact that mileage varies this much after a few years of ownership makes no sense. I am dreading the day that this will eventually read 15 mpg on the display. At that point I am definitely selling this car and looking to another brand like Lexus. It is truly ironic how my dad owns a 2015 Tundra that still works like a pro and is able to achieve around 15 mpg consistently even after 7 years of ownership, and my mom's 2019 Sienna is now starting to struggle reaching 17 mpg after just a few years of driving. TOYOTA needs to seriously start concentrating more on vehicle/mechanism reliability instead of trying to install a million safety features (which I find for the most part unnecessary) like every other car manufacturer. What happened to the reliability that was there nearly 10 years ago? It's a shame because I am really trying to love my car and do whatever I can do make sure that it is running smoothly always but my efforts seem to be in vain all the time. My car has other issues as well besides this and at this point it's hard to believe that it will still be functioning great for another 10 years.
Since I have purchased this vehicle when it first came out, I have noticed that the steering is very stiff, particularly when driving along curvy, windy roads (ex. certain freeway exits/entrances that require you to follow along a curve). I did not realize how stiff the steering wheel was until I was forced to get a rental car following several car accidents over the course of 2 years. At times the steering was so stiff I actually almost dislocated my shoulder joints several times, or tore muscles/ligaments deep within my shoulder which would take at least a month to fully heal. Other cars I have driven (including a 2019 Toyota Sienna AWD have excellent steering fluidity and show no signs of stiffness). I understand that this "stiffness" is a safety feature (Anti-Lock steering) but there needs to be a way to lessen the stiff feeling as for individuals with weaker joints like me this can cause pain and injury and temporary immobility.
During the summer months when temperatures were extreme, my car suddenly had that infamous orange triangle light up and a warning about the tire pressure. I had to avoid taking the freeway home and instead had to take a 30-minute long trek home along the streets. When I went to inspect my tires I saw several large bulges along the sides of multiple tires, especially the front two tires. I immediately took them to the nearest reputable tire shop and they told me that most likely a nail may have caused the issue, but they did not find a single nail nor any holes in the tire that may have been leaking out air. Repair process was difficult as the first tire shop I went to did not carry the tires my car comes with (apparently they are very hard to come across where I live) but offered to replace all tires with used ones for $70 and strongly recommended I get new ones as soon as possible. The second shop told me that I was lucky to spot the issue quickly and seek repair or else the car tires would have exploded while in motion. Whatever manufacturer stock tires Toyota is using should not even be approved at all. Why not use strong, sturdy tires from a reputable brand instead of settling for cheap ones? Since replacing the tires I have had no issues whatsoever.
After 4.5 years of owning and operating this vehicle I have noticed some major issues with headlights. Positioning of headlights is very awkward. I avoid driving at night because of this. Even when headlight setting is on the last position I can hardly see a thing in front of me. I have had other drivers flash their lights on me when approaching from the opposite direction because my lights are apparently too bright, but I am not using high beams. I keep my headlights clean and free of debris but problem is still there. I get that blinding another driver/pedestrian is not safe but I have had many instances of driving at night and larger cars (namely SUVs and pickups) swerve into my lane almost causing an accident because they cannot see my car due to the low placement of my car's headlights. When I do turn on my high beams I can see everything that the normal headlight settings refuse to show, from the stop signs that are several hundred feet away, to pedestrians crossing the street several blocks away. On normal setting I'd be lucky to even spot a pedestrian jaywalking across the street before it's too late. I have driven other sedans before and the difference is quite large, how is it that with older cars I can see more without the high beam setting on but with the 2018 Camry I need to bump it up to high beams just to see better at night? Toyota still has not even fixed this even now with their current Camry lineup. At this point having an SUV/pickup serves to be a great advantage.
After owning this vehicle for almost 4 years, the "Jerky" feeling that other individuals have faced is still there, although not as severe now after I figured workarounds. However I do not like having anyone else in my vehicle as they tend to get visibly uncomfortable once they feel that jerk while the vehicle is in motion. It is nearly impossible to have a smooth transition when the vehicle has to slow down and accelerate immediately. There is almost always a significant 2-3 second delay when you have to accelerate quickly into moving traffic. If I let my foot off the gas while in motion I can feel the gears thud while in motion to accommodate for the loss in speed. Dealerships I've went to have reset the 'software' multiple times and say that the jolts are something I have to get used to and that the car 'learns' from your driving habits. A Toyota dealership rep also told me that Lexus's have this problem too. Clearly this is something that Toyota has not paid attention to since they overhauled and completely redesigned their 2018 lineup. A vehicle is NOT a pet and should not have to be trained. I am unsatisfied with how Toyota does not seem to be addressing this common transmission issue and offering repair services. The only workarounds I have experimented with myself and found some degree of success is 1. turning off eco mode 2. NOT using the cheapest gas (if located in SoCal use #89 when financially able. COSTCO gas seems to deliver good results). 3. fully warming up the car before operating for the first time 4. accelerating gradually (DO NOT STEP ON GAS PEDAL HARD) 5. avoid braking hard (do not tailgate others and allow proper distance between yourself and other drivers) These steps only lessen the severity of the jolts felt but does not totally eliminate them. I don't feel 100% safe while driving this vehicle and am planning on selling it as soon as payments are done.
I am not sure why Toyota decided to set the front bumper quite low compared to other similar sized sedans from different brands out there. In the almost 4 years since I've owned this car I have had multiple scratches and scrapes on the underside of the front bumper; it's ridiculous. A very small dip in the road most of the time leads to scratches which I can feel while driving. The only way to not feel this scraping sound is to approach the dip extremely slow at around 5 mph, which is a safety concern because I don't want anyone ramming into my car from behind. Certain roads I need to pass when I get home have truly terrible construction to the point where I feel like I'm driving my car across a rocky road. I've driven other similar sedans and I don't even feel scraping along the bottom side of the front bumper when approaching a steep dip. I just can't believe how someone in the designs team at Toyota could possibly OK such a poor design. No scratches are visible on my car until you reach the front bumper which is a total disaster. In fact, much of the paint has been scraped off clean and you can see the graphite colored body color.
I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry from auction but when I went for vin number verification by California Highway Patrol, CHP it was discovered that the original tinted windshield does not have space for public view of vin number, which is Toyota original windshield with Toyota logo and stamp. This is factory defect, which I have tried to contact Toyota USA, but it seems Toyota is not responding positively to have the windshield replaced since it does not meet U.S standard. I have case number opened with Toyota case [XXX]. As a result of this I have not been able to register my vehicle. California Highway Patrol, CHP has asked me to go back to Toyota to get this fixed before my vehicle vin could be verified.

Vehicle hesitates/jerks at low speeds, rolling stop (low mph) when initially pressing accelerator will jerk/hesitate/take a breath before dropping into gear. This is a KNOWN issue that Toyota has thus far selectively chosen which engine codes they will repair. It is clear, on this website alone, that this issue is universal. Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0152-19 REV1 should be available to all Toyota Camry owners immediately. This needs to be recalled.
The brakes just stopped working. Got a message on the screen about "Low Braking Power. Stop in a safe place". The engine stopped working and the pedal (brake) was very hard. Thank God I was able to stop and not crash. I checked all car stored codes\errors - no codes and the car running normally now. I know that the 2018 Camry had recall about the brake vacuum pump but somehow my car wasn't in a recall list. Thank you
When I was complete left or right turning steering wheel at low rpm, it feels like hard of stiff and loosen and stiff again and loosen.So I was gone to toyota dealership, but they couldnt find anything.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal became stuck and was difficult to depress. The contact was able to pull over and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle as vacuum brake pump failure and needed a vacuum brake pump replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to tow the vehicle to the nearest dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
We were struck in the rear by a driver and pushed into another car in front of us. The Airbags never deployed during the accident, seatbelts did not constrain us and the driver seats snapped backwards injuring passengers in the front and in the back of the car. Back seat passengers had life-threatening injuries and front passengers had severe injuries.
I was driving back home about 70 miles an hour and all the sudden i got a message on my dashboard saying that i have a low braking power and yes there was not power at all. The car did not brake at all there will be a lot of tragedies because that is very dangerous, i got very lucky i had the time to look for the emergency break pedal but very scary. I research if anybody had a problem like that and there is about 60 people that had gone trough the same problem and contacted toyota and see if they is a recall on this problem and they said no. Every car that i saw on the complaint list is at over 100 k, so once you hit the 100 k be very careful and by the way is a toyota camry 2018
Grinding sound appears when backing up such as when backing out of garage. Does not seem to be present when shifted out of reverse.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the brake pedal was difficult to depress. The contact stated that the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he continued to depress the brake pedal and upon reaching a hill, he used the parking brake to slow and park the vehicle on the side of the road. The contact stated he called a towing company but after four hours of waiting, his wife drove to the location and assisted by driving bumper to bumper to the local dealer at slow speeds. The local dealer diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the brake vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V211000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 255,000. The Vin was invalid.
Hello! When i am pushing the brake pedal it is very hard, like engine is of! I took my car to local diller and they was diagnosed that i have to replace brake vacuum pump, but i have to pay for that service $1350... but i know that Toyota hade recall exactly for this part of brake sistem. I chaked my car for this recall but there is no recall for my car, only fuel pump is... but fact is that my car have same problem, why it is not qualifay fo recall i don’t understand. Can you help me figure it out why i have to pay , when thousands of other car was repaired for free by dillers? Thank you
Left rear cross traffic sensor fell into rear bumper (adhesive failure?). This is the second incident. Toyota service manager claims it was knocked into bumper by external force although that is not what happened. The sensor failed when groceries were loaded into trunk during Covid. This is the exact sensor that was repaired by the service department previously claiming it was due to adhesive failure. There is no way to disable the sensor failure alarm on the dashboard display so there is a constant rear sensor failure alarm blinking constantly on the dashboard which is annoying.
In dealer 2 different dealers for 2 computer failures 2x. So called repaired. Car hits the brakes by itself there is no way to turn off the radar on the front of the car. You have to remember to turn it off everytime you drive it. Then the gas pedal and brakes failed. The tow truck guy said just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to re-set the Ecu. Well he did and I had to retrain the car how to shift over several days. Good thing the failure occured at 30mph. I am selling this. I have owned Camry's since the 90's and im afraid to drive this and bought another car. Contact the next owner. Selling it as is.........
I was going home from Houston to Richmond Texas but a few minutes into driving some warning lights came on and a warning message says Secondary Brake System malfunction. Then all of a sudden the steering wheel was almost locked and was very hard to maneuver. But due to safety of where I was driving I tried hard to reach a Toyota service center nearby which was about to close so I decided to drive to another one nearby my home. A week or so later they said the car was inspected and repaired but on my way home after picking up the car I had to return it again and since then which has been approximately a month now the car is still in service waiting for parts. The safety of others and mine was at risk as the steering wheel was very tough to maneuver. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle component was inspected by Toyota service worker and they said they also had it checked by the manufacturer personnel. There were no prior warning or symptoms prior to this incident which happened on May 24, 2021.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while her son was driving at low speeds the brake pedal was hard to depress and slow to respond. The warning light illuminated was unknown. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where diagnosed the brake booster vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown. The contact stated that the failure was similar to NHTSA campaign number: 18V211000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would make an abnormal squeaking noise without warning. Over time, the steering wheel had stiffened which caused the contact to use excessive force to steer the vehicle. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the steering shaft needed to be replaced. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where they repaired the steering shaft under his extended warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the matter and offered no assistance. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
I was driving 75 mph on I-10 East going into Houston when I received a low braking power warning. My brakes were useless and I had to use the slow down gradually and slowly used the emergency brake. There is a safety recall on the vaccum pump for this year and model but my car did not qualify for this.
Transmission has a shock when shifting. It also revs high in order to shift, when it does it has to much power. Vehicle can decide when to shift it just jerks
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked while the accelerator pedal depressed. The “Low Braking Power” message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V682000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), and the vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be repaired. Upon return of the vehicle, the contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact's mother had accelerated at a stoplight and the brake pedal had failed to operate as needed upon depression. The same “Low Braking Power" warning light was illuminated. Her mother also stated that the "stop in a safe place" and "maintenance required" messages also appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was driven to the contact's home without the proper braking functionality. The same dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a diagnostic fee. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 8. Consumer would like to add after picking up the car from dealer there has been excessive amount of oil leak which dealer has not mentioned.
I was driving in downtown and a sudden loss of braking power. My speed was 20 mile/ hr and I push down brake strongly to stop the car. I was at the highest risk even stopped the car. The Toyota dealer said that I must replace booster vacuum pump while Toyota has recall to replace this part for certain camry 2018 but my car is not included.I had a warning lump at the same time of losing the brake power.
The car hesitates while driving different speeds and kicks in almost like the transmission is slipping I have taken it in to the local dealership and they continue to tell me that everything is fine, they have done what they call a software update stating that it should fix it but it has not, there are no open recalls for the vin number but its an on going issue.
The defroster failed to keep the wind shield clear. Their is no airflow to the defrost which cause no visibility on the windshield.
The windshield seems to be unsticking from the car and dust seems to be getting inside.

HAD MY CAR CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BASED ON MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES, TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL.
VEHICLE JERKS WHEN IN MOTION OR BEFORE BRAKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO PROPERLY SWITCH SPEEDS WHICH ALSO CAUSE IT TO JERK FORWARD. AGAIN, POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT CONSTANTLY SLOWS DOWN BECAUSE IT "DETECTS ITEM" WHEN THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE ROAD. IT WILL SLOW DOWN AT ANY TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE RECEIVED 2 MASTER WARNINGS ALERTS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID, WEREN'T REGISTERED IN THE VEHICLES DATA BASE. THE MASTER ALERT IS LOUD AND FILLS UP MY DASHBOARD SO, IT HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I TOLD THE DEALER THAT MY CAR JERKED. THEY STATED IT WAS OKAY. MY CAR WAS IN SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG.
SUNDAY NIGHT MARCH 21/2021 8:37PM I WAS DRIVING IN STATEN ISLAND WITH A PASSENGER, WAY TO DROPP HIM OFF, OVER 40MPH, AND SUDDEN MY CAR HAD A BRAKES FAILURE, ON MY DASHBOARD APPEARS A CODE 'LOW BRAKING POWER', WE WERE IN PANIC, AND I WAS APPROACHING TO A LINE OF CAR IN AN STOP LIGHT IN RED, I WAS PUSHING MY BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BUT NEVER RESPONSE, I HAD TO MANEUVER MY CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND THERE WAS PEOPLE CROSSING AND FINALLY I GOT PUSH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE.(I HAVE HE VIDEO IN FULL HD AS EVIDENCE)
3/2/2021 30 MINUTES AFTER HAVING MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED ON MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY - MY WINDSHIELD CAUGHT FIRE ABOVE THE REAR VIEW MIRRIOR INSIDE MY CAR -WHERE THE WINDSHIELD ATTACHES TO THE CAR 2 INCHES FROM MY RIGHT ARM , I HAD BALLS OF FIRE DROPPING DOWN - I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFICE MY INSURANCE PROVIDER HAS RETAINED THE SERVICE OF AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING WELL TO BURSTS OF SPEED, SIMPLY TURN OFF ECO MODE, AND REFILL VEHICLE WITH BETTER GAS (DO NOT USE THE CHEAPEST TIER OF GAS AVAILABLE AT THE GAS STATION, GO THE NEXT TIER UP FROM THAT). I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS NOW WITH UNDER 13,800 MI AT TIME OF WRITING. THERE ARE STEERING ISSUES WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SHARE THIS VEHICLE WITH OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ALL OF THEM COMPLAIN OF THE VEHICLE SHAKING SEVERELY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STEERING WHEEL FREQUENTLY SEEMS TO "LOCK" IN PLACE WHEN DRIVING CURVES. THE RECALL THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE, 20V682, HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE SINCE LATE OCTOBER 2020 AND AS OF NOW THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I SPOKE TO A TOYOTA REP EARLY FEBRUARY AND THEY WERE ANTICIPATING A REMEDY TO BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF THE MONTH BUT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. TRIED CALLING AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN EXACT DATE FOR THE REMEDY TO BE READY. MEANWHILE I AM READING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION, ENDANGERING NOT JUST THEIR OWN LIVES BUT THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS AS WELL. THE LAST THING I WANT IS FOR ME OR MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS TO BE IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY LOSE OUR LIVES. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR TOYOTA TO KEEP US ALL WAITING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME FOR A REMEDY. THERE SEEM TO BE MORE AND MORE RECALLS AFFECTING ALL TOYOTA BRANDED VEHICLES DUE TO POOR QC. IF THEY COULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME TO PROPERLY TEST ALL PRODUCTS BEFORE RELEASE THEM TO THE PUBLIC, WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IN OUR VEHICLES FEELING ON EDGE AND UNCOMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME. IF THESE RECALLS KEEP COMING I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING THE VEHICLE ONCE MY PAYMENTS ARE DONE IN 3 YEARS, AND CONSIDER LOOKING ELSEWHERE FOR BRANDS WHO VALUE SAFETY INSTEAD OF ADDING MORE TECH GADGETS TO HIKE UP PRICES.

AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE CAME ON TELLING ME MY BRAKES WERE LOSING POWER BAND I NEEDED TO PULL OVER TO A SAFE AREA. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY! I COULD NOT PUSH DOWN. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BREAK AND GO INTO A LOWER GEAR TO GET TO THE SHOULDER THEN MY CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE CROSSWALK OF THE FREEWAY EXIT. VACUUM PUMP STOPPED WORKING.

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT QUICKLY FROM STARTING, SLOW MOVING OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY WHEN ON HIGHWAY WHILE MERGING OR CHANGING LANES.
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS CAR, UNTIL I GOT THIS CAR. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE SIGNING OUT CONTRACT. THE UNDER SHIELD OF THE CAR IS FALLING/DROPPING WHICH IS CONSTANTLY BREAKING OFF AND FALLING OUT BEHIND US WHICH IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO OTHERS AS WELL. MAKES THE WHOLE CAR SHAKE LIKE CRAZY WHEN DRIVING HIGHER SPEEDS. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO GET DOWN ON THE GROUND IN MID WINTER AND TRY TO DIG THE SNOW, SLUSH AND ICE OUT FROM INBETWEEN THE SHIELD AND THE CAR ITSELF. I CANT USE TOOLS OR SHARP OBJECTS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS BREAKABLE STUFF SO I JUST USE BARE HANDS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. RIDICULOUS WHEN I HAVE SERVE CARPEL TUNNEL AND ITS IN NEGATIVE WITH WINDCHILL AND I RUN INSIDE UGLY CRYING BECAUSE MY HANDS HURTING.. THE CLIPS THAT WHOLE THE CAR TOGETHER IN GENERAL KEEP COMING UNDONE. I CAN ONLY CLIP A FEW BACK TOGETHER AS I DON'T HAVE THE STRENGTH FOR THE REST. SCARED THE BUMPER MIGHT FALL OFF AT A HIGHER SPEED WITH 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THEN THE FELT ON THE INSIDE AROUND THE TIRES LIKES TO PEEL AWAY AND WHEN THE CLIP IS ALSO UNDONE IT BENDS AND MENDS THE UNDERBODY OUTSIDE TRIM AND THEN WHILE DRIVING IT CATCHES ON MY BACK TIRE. NOT ONLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT ALL THE TIME.
I HAD RECENTLY BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAMRY MODELS THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5 4 CYLINDER HAVE ENGINE ISSUES SUCH AS STALLING AND I HAVE BEEN IN NUMEROUS SITUATIONS TO WHERE NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT TERRIBLY. ONE MORNING I WAS JUST CASUALLY DRIVING AND AS I WAS TURNING LEFT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME BRAKED AND SPED AHEAD AND TO MY RIGHT I CAN SEE A CAR RUNNING A RED LIGHT AND I ALSO HAD TO FLEE THE AREA BUT, WITH THE ENGINE STALLING THERE WAS A LATE RESPONSE AND THANKFULLY GOD WAS WITH ME THAT DAY AS NONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE HURT OR HARMED, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES.

CAR BATTERY CONSISTENTLY DIES EVEN WHEN VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN OPERATION FOR ONE FULL DAY. I HAVE A DASH CAM THAT IS IN OPERATION ALL THE TIME AND DISCONNECTED IT THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. TODAY IS THE 10TH TIME THE CAR BATTERY HAS DIED IN 3 MONTHS.THIS TIME I HAD THE KEY IN THE SLOT TURNED ONE NOTCH (CAR ENGINE NOT TURNED ON) AND WAS PLAYING MUSIC VIA BLUETOOTH, WHEN SCREEN FLICKERED AND EVERYTHING WENT OUT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH BATTERY AND REFUSES TO CHANGE IT.
THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR FOR MONTHS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT CAME UP WITH ANY TYPE OF REMEDY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. 'THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.' SOUNDS PRETTY DANGEROUS AND THIS IS THE CAR I TRAVEL WITH MY KIDS IN, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA BRCAUSE THIS WAS ONCE LISTED AS THE SAFEST CAR ON THE ROAD.

WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2018 CAMRY . HAVENT BEENCALLED FOR REPAIR AND MY CAR IS OVER TWO YEARS OLD. DOESNT SEEM TO BE A FAST REPAIR.
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INCOMPLETE RECALL (FUEL PUMP) FOR WHICH TOYOTA HASN'T HAD A REMEDY PREPARED YET. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON, EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENT YET.
THE CAR STALLS WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT WHEN CHANGING LANES BECAUSE THERE IS A DELAY IN DEPARTURE . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES . I DROVE ANOTHER CAMRY SE BUT THE DELAY WASN'T PRESENT ... THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED SOMETIME EARLY WRONG WITH MY CAR
ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. POWER WINDOWS, AIR BAGS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADS UP DISPLAY, CLIMATE CONTROL, LANE ASSIST, AUTO LIGHTS, SEAT WARMERS, LANE ASSIST AND COLLISION SENSORS NOT WORKING. SINCE AUTO-LIGHTS FEATURE NOT WORKING, I HAD TO MANUALLY TURN ON LIGHTS AND AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THEY SHUT OFF.
IF YOU SLOW TO A ROLL THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT JERKS REAL BAD LIKE IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. TAPPING FROM THE ENGINE BAY THAT COMES AND GOES. THE BRAKE ASSIST FEATURE CAUSE MY ROTORS TO GET WARPED RIGHT AFTER REPLACING THEM. LANE KEEPING ASSIST WILL YANK YOU OVER INTO A TURNING LANE IF YOU AREN'T SUPER CAREFUL.
OPEN RECALL THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR. I NEED THIS FIXED ASAP. I AM DISABLED AND WILL NOT PAY FOR A CAR THAT COULD CAUSE ME TO CRASH.

ON 9/29/18, I LEASED A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID FROM SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. BEGINNING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR, ON MULTIPLE, RANDOM OCCASIONS GASOLINE LEAKED OUT OF MY GAS TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT TENDS TO BE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME - AFTER WORK, WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR >8 HOURS, WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A WEEK VACATION, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD SMELL A POWERFUL ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE ME CHECK THE GAS TANK AREA. SEVERAL TIMES, I WITNESSED THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IN ALL CASES THERE WERE GASOLINE STAINS ON THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE GAS TANK. AND THE SIDE OF MY WHITE CAR HAS A PERMANENT YELLOW STREAK DOWN THE SIDE FROM THE LEAKING GAS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT, BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD BE HAPPENING WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT GOING ON ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. THEY SAID I MUST BE OVERFILLING MY GAS TANK OR NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP ENOUGH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE GAS LEAKING OUT AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT, AND I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 120 MILES SINCE MY LAST FILL UP. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THE PICTURES TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE STILL SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. FINALLY, I CALLED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE LINE AND REPORTED IT. THEY HAD ME GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS LINE WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FROM WEAR-AND-TEAR FROM FILLING THE GAS TANK, NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD <6000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LEAK WAS DETECTED). THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS (J0G) FOR "FUEL DELIVERY PIPES THAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT". I THINK MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW.
THE CAR SHUDDERS AND APPEARS TO ALMOST STALL WHEN IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT HAPPENED FROM THE VERY FIRST YEAR IT WAS DRIVEN. ONCE IT ACTUALLY STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION JUST AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PULLED FORWARD. I HAD NOT BRAKED. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.
TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT A FUEL PUMP ISSUE WITH THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY FWD AND HAS NOT ISSUED SENT PROPER NOTIFICATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO REQUIRE TOYOTA TO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL WITH EXPEDITED SOLUTION. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V682

VEHICLE STALL WHILE ON THE 75 FREEEWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 70 MPH. NO BREAK LIGHTS APPAREAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP IN COBB COUNTY GEORGIA BUT NOTHING IS BEEN DONE. I THINK IT EITHER THE PISTOL OR THE FUEL PUMP. TOYOTA CASE # 2009280896 & TOYOTA CASE #2 -2009281300.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAITED FOR OVER 3 HOURS.

THE CONTACT SAW ON THE INTERNET AND SUSPECTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO CHECK THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL MISFIRES WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND THE CAR SOMETIMES GOES INTO LIKE AN IDLE MODE. THE DASHBOARD STATES 27 MPG, BUT I'VE BEEN TRACKING MILEAGE ON A PAPER LOG, AND THE VEHICLE IS REALLY ONLY RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY 19 MPG. I LOOKED TO IT TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, AND AFTER LOOKING UP ACTIVE RECALLS, REALIZED THAT IT WAS SYMPTOMS OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA; A MANUFACTURER'S DEALER, AND THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.
MY VEHICLE IS STAYING IN FOURTH GEAR IT WILL GO DOWN IF I DOWNSHIFT MANUALLY BY PUTTING IT INTO SPORT. ALTHOUGH WHEN IT IS SHIFTED DOWN IN SPORT MODE EVEN WHILE AT A DEAD STOP WHEN YOU SWITCH IT BACK OVER TO DRIVE AND THEN BACK IT STILL READS THAT IT'S IN FOURTH GEAR. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN THE VEHICLE IDK THE SPECIFIC DATE OF THE TRANSACTION.
I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2018. THE CAR FEEL VERY HEAVY WHEN DRIVING, TGE STEERING WHEEL ARE STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO MOVE SOMETIMES. THE BRAKES ARE NOT STABLE LIKE THEY SHOULD EVEN AFTER I PAID FOR IT TO BE FIX. THE GAS GAUGE REFUSE TO OPEN WHEN IT'S TIME TO FUEL GAS THE CAR MAKES NOISES. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND IT'S NOT WORTH WHAT I PAY FOR.
THE STEERING BECOMES VERY STIFF AND DOES NOT RETURN TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AFTER MAKING A TURN IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT POWER STEERING AT ALL. I AM FEARFUL OF PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM
TRIED STARTING VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, TEMP WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES, CAR HAS THE PUSH TO START BUTTON. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH AN AFTERMARKET YELLOW TOP DEEP CYCLE BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START, CAR ACTED AS IF THE BATTERY WAS VERY LOW IT TURNED OVER, DASH WENT BLACK FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND CAR STARTED VERY FORCEFULLY. CAR HAD BEEN PARKED UNDER CARPORT FOR ABOUT 16 HOURS. THE DAY BEFORE CAR WAS IN THE SAME CONDITIONS AND STARTED RIGHT UP NO PROBLEMS.
ON 9/24/20 WE EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH BOTH OCCUPANTS EXPERIENCED INJURIES FROM THE SEATBELT (PASSENGER HAD A FRACTURED STERNUM), AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ONCOMING CAR CROSSED THE CENTERLINE ON A CURVE, BOTH CARS WERE MOVING. I WOULD DISPUTE THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR AS I BELIEVE IT WAS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN STATED IN THE POLICE REPORT. OUR VEHICLE MAY VERY WELL HAVE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED (TOYOTA HAS BEEN CALLED TO CONFIRM), WE ARE THANKFUL TO BE HERE, BUT FEEL THE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OTHER VEHICLE HAD AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WALKED AWAY.
ON SEPTEMBER 29TH 2020 AT 7:20PM EST THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY DID NOT WANTED TO START EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE BREAK AND START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT FINALLY TURNED ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAD A FUNNY RATTLING NOISE AND A MASTER LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE BACK CAMERA SCREEN ALSO HAD A MASTER LIGHT ON WITH RCD OFF SIGNAL. AFTER DRIVING FOR A ABOUT 12 MINUTES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ACCORDINGLY TO SCHEDULE. I EVEN HAD TO PAY TOYOTA FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP ON JULY 08TH 2020. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS AROUND ME WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
I STARTED VEHICLE FROM A STOPPED POSITION DROVE ABOUT 20 FT AND NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL...I PUT THE CAR IN NUETRAL AND APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BREAK...THERE WAS A BREAK WARNING LIGHT AND A LOW BREAK POWER MESSAGE...I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK...
I FIRST NOTICED SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN GOING ON HIGHWAY, I APPLIED BRAKE AND THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 16,000 MILES AND ITS 2018 MODEL. BAD ROTOR IS CAUSING THIS TO SHAKE. THIS ROTOR MUST HAVE COME FROM THE FACTORY DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AROUND $300. I REALIZE THAT BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED BUT THE ROTORS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THEY CAME LIKE THAT FROM THE FACTORY.
WHEN I START MY CAR BY PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR CAN'T START AND SAID IGNITION IS NOT READY AND MANY ERROR CODES SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 8 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE CAR CAN START AND TODAY IT CAN'T START AT ALL, I WENT TO CHECK FOR THE CAR CATTERY AND IT IS FINE, AND WE CHANGED OUR KEY FOB BATTERY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, SOME WEBSITE SAID IT IS FUEL PUMP ISSUE, AND I SEE SOME 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS ON FUEL PUMP RECALLL BUT WHEN I INPUT MY VIN, IT SAID IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL, SO I AM VERY WORRIED THAT ONE DAY I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITHOUT NOTICE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, PLEASE HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BEFORE I START.

I HAVE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY GAS TANK LATCH NOT OPENING UP. I REPORTED THIS TO DICK DYER TOYOTA AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, BUT IF I'M DRIVING BY MYSELF AND I NEED GAS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN MY GAS TANK TO THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!!!
DURING MID 30'S AND BELOW, MY CAR DOES NOT GET UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT SITS NEAR THE COLD MARK AND I HAVE INADEQUATE HEAT OUTPUT THROUGH MY VENTS WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN I'M DRIVING IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THE DEFROSTER ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO MELT THE ICE. I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND IT STILL PRODUCES THE SAME RESULTS. I'VE TALKED TO SOME TOYOTA TECHNICIANS AND THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION. PLEASE NOTE IN MY PICTURE I'VE ATTACHED THE 28 MINUTES OF DRIVE TIME WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 39 MPH WITH MY NEAR COLD TEMP GAUGE.
MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LEADING TO A CRASH. MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED UNDER TOYOTA'S FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY FUEL PRESSURE GOES TO NEAR 0 PSI WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA TECHNICIANS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT DUE TO HAVING TO DRIVE SO LONG AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR ME. I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER IF TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR, THE PART WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND WILL LIKELY TO HAVE THE SAME RESULT.
WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR IN AUGUST 2018 WHEN I FIRST DROVE IT... THE ACCELERATION WAS ON POINT. NOW IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF TO ACCELERATE IT FEELS SLUGGISH AS IF IT'S DOING THE WAY IT ORIGINALLY DID.
AS I WAS STARTING OUT MY DRIVEWAY THE STEERING SUDDENLY GOT VERY STIFF AND WHEN IT WOULD TURN IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER, SO I HAD TO DO THAT MYSELF. IT ONLY DID IT ONCE SO I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION, BUT WHEN I STARTED HOME IT BECAME MORE AND MORE STIFF AND WAS MAKING A GROWLING NOISE. I DROVE IT SLOWLY HOME AND HAD TO PARK IT FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I WAS VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD LOCK UP TOTALLY,. FINALLY GOT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND SERVICE SAID THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS BINDING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A VERY ODD PROBLEM TO HAVE WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

EACH TIME THE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR, WITH HITTING A SMALL POT HOLE, OR A SLIGHT RUBBING AGAINST THE CURB. THE BRAND OF TIRE ARE BRIDGESTONE,TURANZA 235/40R19. I REMEMBER WHEN BRIDGESTONE AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THERE TIRES WHICH CAUSE FATALITIES MANY YEARS AGO. SO I'M WONDERING IF THE SAME PRACTICE IS HAPPENING AGAIN
2018 TOYOTA CAMARY SE. STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND LOCKS IN PLACE AS YOU ARE DRIVING AND TURN THE WHEEL SO IT DOES NOT RETURN IF YOU LET GO OF THE WHEEL AND YOU HAVE TO PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE TO TRY AND TURN BACK AND TURN MORE IN TO THE CORNER,
MY WIFE'S 2018 CAMRY ROLLED AWAY DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY WHILE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. IT'S GOT 33K MILES ON IT. ON THE WAY DOWN THE HILL, IT CLEARLY ENGAGED THE PARKING PIN BECAUSE IT DRUG THE FRONT WHEELS 10 OR SO FEET BEFORE HITTING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, I HOPPED OUT AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND ALL FOUR DOORS UNLOCKED. I PUT A PACKAGE IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK, MY WIFE (WHO WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT) HIT THE REMOTE ON THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND NEARLY HIT ME. ALL FOUR DOORS RELOCKED, THE PAWL CLICKED UNTIL IT ENGAGED AS IT ROLLED AWAY. IT JUMPED THE STREET, AND PARK ENGAGED AND IT SLID THE LAST 15 OR SO FEET. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING UNTIL MY WIFE REMOVED THE KEY. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS BAD. BAD IDLE, WEAK ENGINE, JUST THE CAR IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. I USED THE SCANNER TO SEE THE CODE AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE . P0171 P0505 P117B P0441 P0455 . FUEL/AIR MIXTURE IS LEAN . AND I HEAR THE FUEL PUMP MAKING THAT NOISE THAT INDICATES A BAD FUEL PUMP. IT'S WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN I HEAR IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IF I TURN THE KEY ON IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN I PUT IT ON P IT REVS AND RPM GOES UP AND THEN COMES DOWN, UP AGAIN DOWN AGAIN ... WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE AND RPM KEEPS SHAKING. *TR
IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHILE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY FUEL PUMP BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL MY CAR IS ACTUALLY "RECALLED" BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCES OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. *TR
I WAS PARKING MY CAR PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED THE CAR OFF AND MY CAR DROVE FRONT WORDS BY ITS SELF MAYBE 2 FEET TO 4 FEET AND STOPPED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED WITH THE RPM FLUCTUATING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. EAST COAST TOYOTA LOCATED AT 181 BROAD ST, CARLSTADT, NJ 07072, (201)438-5659, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM REQUIRING EXTRA EFFORT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE PARKING ASSIST BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,916.
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET JUNE 4TH BRAKE PRESSURE DECREASED LOW BRAKE POWER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALSO BRAKE WARNING CAME ON WAS TOLD BRAKE VACUUM PUMP MALFUNCTIONED BY VALDOSTA TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR VALDOSTA GA. *TR
POWER STEERING VERY STIFF AND DOESN'T RETURN TO NEUTRAL AGAIN. HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT RETURNED YESTERDAY AFTER A CAR WASH. DIFFICULT TO CORRECT WHEN IN THE DRIVEWAY OR ON SHARP TURNS AFTER STOPPING. 49,000 MILES ON 2018 CAMRY HYBRID LE. WILL HAVE TOYOTA REVIEWS AT 50K SERVICE IN A FEW WEEKS. REALLY VERY DISTURBING.
MY CLUSTER LENS IS BROKEN OUT OF NOWHERE. MY CAR WASN'T HIT OR ANYTHING. IT WAS JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE. *TR
HESITATION AND MAJOR JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW MPH FROM A ROLLING STOP. TSB #T-SB-0152-19_REV SHOULD BE APPLIED TO PRACTICALLY EVERY CAMRY FROM 2018 & 2019. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT HAVE THIS DONE TO MY CAR BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS BULLETIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WOULDN'T BE BUT IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT'S GETTING EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND IT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ARE GOING TO FAIL SOON AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 34000 MILES ON IT. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE APPLY THIS BULLETIN TO MORE CAMRY VINS! *TR
WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF TO TURN, UNPREDICTABLE, AND WOULDN'T RETURN TO NEUTRAL POSITION WITHOUT EFFORT. SAME SENSE WHILE STEERING IN THE DRIVEWAY. HAPPENED AT ANY SPEED. THE STEERING ISSUE SLOWLY WENT BACK TO NORMAL AFTER A WEEK OR ABOUT 300 MILES. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALER BUT CANCELLED WHEN STEERING IMPROVED AND WILL MENTION IT TO THEM AGAIN AT THE 50,000 MILE SERVICE. *TR
MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 SE HAVE A DELAYED ACCELERATION. I .E WHEN YOU GO ON A HIGHWAY AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL INCREASE THE RPM BUT NOT THE CAR SPEED AND SEEMS LIKE CAR IS NOT IN D BUT ON N. LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH 2018 AND ABOVE MODELS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.
THE CAR HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO STEER. SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THIS WAS INITIALLY FELT OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVING AND IS NOW HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. IT FEELS LIKE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE STEERING SHAFT AND STEERING BOX. ISSUES STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTH AGO AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
I HAVE AN ISSUE OF WHEN RESUMING ACCELERATION FROM A SLOW DOWN OR A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WILL HESITATE/ HICCUP AND GIVE STUTTERS WHILE ACCELERATING. A SUDDEN SPIKE IN RPM IS NOTICED AS WELL.
I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR ON THE TURNPIKE FOR ABOUT 3.5 S WHEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE AREA AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A FIRE THEN SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT OUT THE FIRE BY THROWING WATER ONTO THE AREA FROM A BOTTLE OF WATER I HAD IN MY CAR CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE MY ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND OTHER SYSTEMS(AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS) NO LONGER WORK. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE. THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR TO MEET ME AT A DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT IS WAS DUE TO MY WINDSHIELD BEING REPLACED 18 MONTHS PRIOR BY SAFELITE AND I DIDN'T USE TOYOTA WINDSHIELD (LETTER ATTACHED). TOYOTA RETURNED MY CAR AND THE AREA STILL HEATED UP AND SMOKED. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO REMOVE THE HOUSING BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FOUND THAT THE METAL CAMERA WAS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT (PICTURES ATTACHED). I UNPLUGGED THE CAMERA AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THAT CAMERA CONTROLS THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND MY AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS.
I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/17/20. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SRS AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REAR SEATBELT ALARM CONTINOUSLY SOUND OFF ALERTING ME TO FASTEN SEATBELTS WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING BACK THERE. I TRIED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT WAS TOLD IT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO TOYOTA. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA, I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN TORN AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4,900.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MORE THAN LIKELY WOULDN'T DEPLOY. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE VVEHICLEDUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE.
THE FUEL FILLER TUBE IS SOMETIMES BLOCKED CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL DOOR. CAN NOT FILL FUEL TANK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FUEL IN ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND
FUEL KEEP COMING BACK UP FROM THE INTAKE (CAP) EVERY-TIME IT'S FULL AND HAPPEN ON HOT WEATHER DAYS WHILE IN PARKING LOT. IT'S HAPPENED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (BRAND NEW), THE DEALER TRIED TO REPLACE CHARCOAL CANISTER, BUT NOW AFTER A YEAR THE PROBLEM COME BACK AGAIN AND BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW, BRING TO THE DEALER NOW (DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE BEFORE), THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT AND BLAME ME FOR OVERFILL. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY REPAIR OR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY DIDN'T TOTALLY FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO BLAME IT ON THE CONSUMERS. PROBLEM STILL THERE, NOW I'M WORRY IT CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION ANYTIME. AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR TO COMMUTE FOR NOW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE AT ALL STATING THAT THE DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BOTH THE DEALER & MANUFACTURE DENIED THE RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M TIRED AND STRESSFUL WITH THEIR IRRESPONSIBLE ANSWERS. *TR
I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 LE NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR WORK ALTHOUGH SINCE MY SON GAVE ME HIS CAR I STARTED USING HIS AND LEFT MINE TO USE FOR THE GYM. AS NOW I AM USING MY 2018 CAMRY NOW MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I APPLY ACCELERATION HARD FROM STOP THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE CAR PICKS UP SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE I BELIEVE THE CAMRY IS DECIDING BETWEEN GEARS AND JERKS WHEN IT SELECTS THE GEAR IT WANTS.
TODAY I NOTICED DURING MY CAR PARKED AT START UP THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. AFTER MAYBE ABOUT A MIN OR TWO IT QUIETED DOWN A LIL BUT IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE WHEN YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ON ACCELERATION DELAY FROM A STOP.
GAS COMES OUT OF THE FUEL FILL UP PIPE IN WARM WEATHER AFTER CAR HAS BEEN FILLED WITH GAS. CAR IS NOT OVER FILLED. SPLASHED UP TO 3 CUPS OF GAS ONTO SIDE OF CAR. CHANGE IS GAS CAP DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACED BUT DID NOT FIX. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AFTER BEING DRIVEN.
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP IN A RIGHT HAND TURN UP-HILL CAR IS SLOW TO MOVE FORWARD REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL, THEN TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE HUNTING FOR RIGHT GEAR CAUSING A JERKY MOTION.
WHEN I TURN ON THE KEY, BEFORE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS, I HEAR A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUNK AREA. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS COMING OUT FROM THE GAS PUMP. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER DURING MY LAST TWO SERVICES. NO FEEDBACK HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.
THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILES, THERE WAS A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF OUR TIRE WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED!!!! IN 50 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING, WE NEVER HAD A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF A TIRE, WHICH NEEDED EACH TIME TO BE REPLACED LEST WE HAVE A BLOWOUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER DURING ONE OF OUR REPLACEMENTS TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY TOYOTA PROVIDING INADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR THE WHEELS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH WILL LEAD TO BLOWOUTS AND DEATHS UNLESS THE NHTSA TAKES IMMEDIATE ACTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER, SPEAKING CONFIDENTIALLY. TOLD US THAT TOYOTA WILL FIGHT THIS RATHER THAN SPEND $1200. PER TIRE CASING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. YOU MUST ACT BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR FROM BLOWOUTS. ALSO, TOYOTA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR ALL TIRE BUBBLING!!
ITS REALLY HARD TO TURN
MY FIRST PROBLEM HAPPENED I GOT MY GAS MY CAR STOPPED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON MY CAR . SECOND TIME HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I GOT MY GAS AGAIN MY CAR STOPPED AND I PUMPING MY BRAKES PADDLE CONSISTENTLY THEN ENGINE STARTED AGAIN ... I WENT MY DEALER THEY CHARGING HIGHER AMOUNT OF MONEY I COULDN'T FIX IT... IF I DRIVE OVER 60 MPH MY CAR SHAKING
YOU CAN NOT LIFT THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER IT HIT THE HOOD
THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST WHEN COMING TO A STOP. TRANSMISSION ALSO TAKES TOO LONG TO FIND GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH CAUSES ALL KINDS OF, WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THROTTLE LAG.
MY STEERING HAS BECOME VERY STIFF. LIKE IT IS HESITATING WHEN I MAKE TURNS AS IF MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LOW BUT IT IS ELECTRICAL. MY CAR ALSO STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE THE GAS. MENTIONED IT TO DEALER WHEN FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2018 AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE THAT WAS IN IT. STEERING HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF, SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN OR LANE CHANGE. ENGINE HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ISSUE CHECKED OUT.
THE NAVIGATION SCREEN CRACK WITH UNKNOWN CAUSE. THE CRACKS ARE IN DIFFERENT SPOT ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN, BUT MOSTLY, THEY CRACK FROM FUNCTION BUTTON AND SPREAD UP. IT HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR
I WAS DRIVING TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT WARD LOW STATION IN LONG BEACH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WARNING LIGHT COME ON INDICATE LOW BRAKE WARNING THAN I TRY TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND L CAN NOT STOP THE CAR. I HIT THE CURVE SIDE JUST STOP THE CAR. THERE'S A DAMAGE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER BUMPER. I CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY TO TOW MY CAR TO THE SHOP.
FOR GOT CHECK OFF THE LAST TWO QUESTIONS AT THE END OF QUESTIONNAIRE. I WOULD NOT LIKE MY INFORMATION SHARED AND A SO NOT RECEIVE EMAILS ABOUT RECALL ALERTS
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017,WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE BECAME NOTICEABLY LOUDER. INITIALLY WE THOUGHT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE WARNED UP. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN HIGH IDLE MODE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS THOUGH THE THROTTLE IS STICKING. WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE, IF RESTARTED WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE RESPONDS THE SAME AS BEFORE VERY HIGH IDLING AND SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT HAS NO OIL GETTING TO THE ENGINE(VALVETRAIN). CAR TAKES SEVERAL MOMENTS TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND THE RPM'S DOES NOT MATCH THE ACCELERATION TIME. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES STICK WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO PICKUP ON POWER ITSELF WHILE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES LOSING POWER AGAIN. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY TO START CITY SPEED LIMITS AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE RPM'S INCREASE HOWEVER CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT DESIRED SPEED(DRAGS). ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS METAL RUNNING THROUGH IT AS WELL AS THE SOUNDS IT MAKES WHILE IDLING. TICKING.SHAKING,KNOCKING ALL AT ONCE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ENGINE NOISE AND THE WAY IT SHAKES BUT YOUR ATTACHMENT ONLY ALLOWS FOR 5MB AND THE VIDEO HAS MORE THAN 5MB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE HOWEVER THE RESPONSE WAS ALWAYS WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND VEHICLE EITHER NEEDS A LIGHT ON OR NEEDS TO BE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE PROBLEM RIGHT THEN. THEY EVEN COMPARED IT TO OTHER CAMRY'S TO MAKE SURE THEY SAID BUT THE CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHILE WE WERE THERE AND AS WE LEFT. THE VEHICLE IS SOUNDING FAR WORSE THAN IT WAS FROM NOVEMBER 2017- TO THIS CURRENT DAY AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DRIVING ANY BETTER AND IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSAFE. ALSO THE VIDEO I HAVE WILL NOT ATTACH TO YOUR FORMATS. IT'S ONLY ALLOWING PHOTOS.
TRANSMISSION: WHEN ACCELERATING HARD, SUCH AS ON AN ON RAMP, MY SPEED ONLY INCREASES SLIGHTLY WHILE THE ENGINE REVS TO 5000+ RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS & THEN IT SHIFTS AND SPEEDS UP. THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT ON HARD ACCELERATION UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CONSISTENT AND I BELIEVE, A SAFETY HAZARD. CRUISE CONTROL: THIS SYSTEM HAS WHAT TOYOTA CALLS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY SLOWS THE CAR IF IT THINKS THE VEHICLE OR OBJECT AHEAD IS TOO CLOSE. IN REALITY IT SLOWS THE CAR DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND A CLEAN WINDSHIELD. IT HAS A WINDSHIELD CAMERA TO DETECT SUCH THINGS, SO I HAVE TO KEEP IT CLEAN. THIS IS A RECURRING THING. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA. THERE SHOULD BE A REQUIRED FIX FOR SUCH SAFETY PROBLEMS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPM REVVED UP WITH NO FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF CLERMONT LOCATED AT 16851 FL-50, CLERMONT, FL 34711. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,288.
MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SKIPS CONSTANTLY WHEN DRIVING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AT A CERTAIN SPEED, I MAY BE JUST TAKING OFF OR BEEN AT A CONSTANT SPEED FOR A WHILE AND IT SKIPS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF THE CONCERN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILES AND IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.
OFTEN DURING ACCELERATION, MY CAR SEEMS TO SPUTTER OR MISFIRE. WHEN TAKING OFF THERE SEEMS TO BE, AS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT, AN AIR BUBBLE IN THE FUEL LINE. KINDA LIKE FUEL ISN'T CONSTANTLY BEING FED TO THE ENGINE. THERE ARE GAPS. WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CAR ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, TAKES OFF AS IF ITS PLAYING CATCH UP. ALTHOUGH THERE ISN'T AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY CAR, I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP.
RODENT DAMAGED WIRING HARNESS FOR DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM WHILE WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE HOME AT NIGHT. AFTER REPAIR, DAMAGE HAPPENED AGAIN, DEALER AND MANUFACTURER RESPONSE WAS THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPIAR AND SUGGESTED AN ADHOC SET OF SOLUTIONS TO DISCOURAGE ANIMALS -- DRYER SHEETS, PINESOL, COMMERCIAL ANIMAL REPELLENT.
I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND IS REALLY BAD. DEALER SAID HE'S AWARE BUY TOYOTA ISNT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND IT PASSES THE SOFTWARE TESTS. I READ ONLINE AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A WEEK OLD... I REALLY HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS AND MAKE.TOYOTA FIX THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING; WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALLY ANY TIME I PRESS THE GAS.
I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MILES AND IT WAS RAINING MEDIUM, MY WIPERS COULD NOT CLEAR THE VIEW FAST ENOUGH AND I WAS DRIVING BLINDLY FOR MILES. THE FAST WIPER SETTING WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH TO CLEAR MY VIEW.
I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY AND ON MY FIRST WEEK AFTER BUYING IT, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S A MAJOR ACCELERATION DELAY THAT I COULDN'T BEAR ANYMORE. IT'S MAKING A WEIRD SOUND AND IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOTICEABLE. TOYOTA SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AS THIS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY ON MERGING ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO 2 DIFFERENT TOYOTA SERVICE CENTERS AND BOTH JUST TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. I LOOKED UP SOME COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME AS WITH 2019 MODELS. I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX THIS BECAUSE IT'S MAKING US CONSUMERS VERY FRUSTRATED.
WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IN THE MORNINGS,LET RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES,AND DRIVE OFF ABOUT HALF A BLOCK,STOP AT INTERSECTION AND PROCEED,THE CAR WILL HESITATE,DIE DOWN IF IT FLOODS OUT AND THEN IT WILL PICK UP,DURING THIS HESITATION,I COULD IN THE INTERSECTION AND WITH TRAFFIC COMING,I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WILL STOP OR GO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AS MOST SAY,WELL WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM,IT ONLY SEEMS THAT THE CAR ONLY DOES THIS,AFTER A FIVE MINUTE WARM UP AND DRIVE ABOUT A BLOCK.THIS PROBLEM SO FAR HAS ONLY HAPPEN 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR ALSO,2018,BOUGHT IN 2018-FEB AND I ONLY HAVE 5600 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES,NOT ALL THE TIME,BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER
WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING STIFFENS UP AND THEN RELEASES ABOUT EVERY 5 DEGREES BEFORE STIFFENING UP AGAIN. THIS IS AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED POWER STEERING.
TRANSMISSION STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING AND REVS WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHER SPEEDS.
THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSINESS STREET ROUTE , DAY WAS CLEAR. TRAVELING IN MOTION AT 45-50 MPH. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND IMMEDIATELY STOPS THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SEEN THE STOPPING ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCICDENT AGAIN
FUEL AND AIR GOING INTO THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM ARE NOT IN BALANCE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.
I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY GAS AT THE SAME PLACE FOR A LONG TIME. IT STARTS MISSING AND CUTTING OUT. I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID TRY DIFFERENT GAS I HAVE STILL DOING SAME THING IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE 30000 MILES.
HAD FOG AND MOISTURE SHOWING BEHIND RAIDO DISPLAY
ROTORS WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AT 20,000 MILES. GRINDING NOISE IS HEARD WHILE BRAKING.AT 23,000SHOCKS/STRUTS MAKES NOISE ON ROUGH ROAD WHILE DRIVING
MY 2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDERS/ SLIPS AT AROUND 30-40 MPH OR EVEN WHEN CRUISE IS SET AT 70-75MPH. IT SEEMS THE CPU HAS DIFFICULTY TRYING TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT GEAR FOR THE SPEED. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FOR OVER A SECOND.
WHEN DRIVING WITH THE PRE COLLUSION SYSTEM CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED THE CAR SLAMS ON IT'S BRAKES DROPPING UP TO 19 MPH INSTANTLY AND CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PER TOYOTA. IT ALMOST GOT ME RUN OVER BY A SEMI. I FILED VIA THE TOYOTA LEMON LAW WEBSITE TO NO AVAIL. IN 2018 THE PRE-COLLUSION SENSOR WAS TIED INTO THE PEDESTRIAN SENSOR. HENCE AT TIMES WHEN SENSING PERIPHERY IT SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. TOYOTA HAS 71 DISCLAIMERS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, BUT ALMOST EVERY TOYOTA SINCE 1018 HAS THIS DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY. SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND MY SALESMAN TOLD ME TO USE THE ALTERNATE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE IT HAPPENED TO HIM ALSO. I WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME BY TWO OF THEIR OTHER EMPLOYEES. THIS SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS. IT TYPICALLY ACTIVATED WHEN COMING UPON THE QUARTER PANEL OF ANOTHER CAN AND AT TIMES WHEN IT'S ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOME OF THE DISCLAIMERS STATE: "SNOW COMING OFF THE CAR IN FRONT, SIGNS, OTHER CARS, METAL IN THE ROAD" AND SO ON. TOYOTA EXUDES INDIFFERENCE AND INSULTS ME UPON INVESTIGATING THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. I EMAILED 114 NEWSPAPERS NATIONWIDE, BUT DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE PUBLISHED. I'VE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT HAPPENS BOTH ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AROUND OCT 1, 2018. TO MAKE THINGS MORE FRUSTRATING TWICE STATED THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR NO REASON. I DOUBT THAT ANYONE CARES, BUT I WARN YOU: DO NOT FOLLOW NEWER MODEL TOYOTA VEHICLES CLOSELY AS EXCEPT FOR THE RAV4 THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY PER TOYOTA. TWICE TOYOTA INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THAT MY FRIENDS IS AN IGNORANT STATEMENT. NO CAR IS DESIGNED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD. MINE HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 50 TIMES, BUT THERE SOFTWARE DOESN'T REVEAL THAT SO IT ALSO IS DEFICIENT.
VEHICLE HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE ENGINE SHAKES REAL BAD, IT FEELS LIKE A MOUNT IS REALLY LOOSE. VEHICLE ALSO HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED AFTER SLOWING DOWN.
THE VEHICLE DOES A WEIRD CLOCKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATION AND AS I BREAK OR GO AT A LOWER SPEED OR HIGHER SPEED THE SOUND IS LESS OR MORE . THIS STARTS AT A SURTEN SPEED. ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS ON IT DOES THE NOISE LIKE A CLICKING SOUNDS IVE READ ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THIS MODELS AND IM CONCERN DUE TO THE SAME INFO THE CAR ARE BEING CALLED FOR RECALLS. MINES DOING THE SAME NOISE AND PROBLEM NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WHEN GOING ON THE FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY NOW I NOTICE IT GETTING WORSE RECALL NUMBER -18V200000 ALSO THERES A LIGHT THAT INDICATES THE FRONT CAMARA IS OF AND IT GOES OF AND ON ON ITS OWN SOMETIMES
WHEN TRYING TO STEER THE CAR IT'S HARD TO TURN AND WHEN DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS
IN DEEP WHITE SANDS DESERT CAR KEYS LOCKED INSIDE THE TRUNK. AFTER OPTING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR USING THE HANGER ANCHOR METHOD WHOLE CAR COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WENT DOWN AND THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THEN TRUNK FROM INSIDE THE CAR. 2018 CAMRY HAS NO LEVER ANY PULL-DOWN SEATS TO OPEN THE TRUNK. PARK RANGER TOOK ME TO THE NEAREST TOWN TOYOTA DEALERSHIP(DESERT SUN TOYOTA,3333 N WHITE SANDS BLVD, ALAMOGORDO, NM 88310), THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO CUT THE NEW LASER KEY THEY WERE NOT EVEN AWARE 2018 YOU CAN'T OPEN THE TRUNK BY A LEVER OR PULLING DOWN SEATS. IT WAS COLD AND DARK AND FAMILY WITH KIDS SITTING IN THE DUNES ALONE WHILE I WAS WORKING WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW KEYS. AFTER DOING ALL BRAINSTORMING THE LAST SOLUTION CAME TO ME WAS MAKE A HOLE BEHIND NUMBER PLATE TO OPEN THE TRUNK LATCH. A GOOD MAN AGREED TO COME TO THE PARK AND OPEN THE TRUNK BY DRILLING THE HOLE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY FAMILY SAFE. AFTER REACHING DALLAS (MY HOME) I SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA CEO JAMES ABOUT THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND HIS OFFICE CALLED ME AFTER THE EMAIL BUT NOT ACCEPTING THIS AS A DEFECT AND DENIED TO HELP ME TO FIX MY HOLEY CAR. THE 6 HRS I SPENT WITH FAMILY TO JUST OPEN THE TRUNK IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE 2018 CAMRY. THIS IS VERY COMMON TO LOSE KEYS WHILE TAKING STUFF OUT OF THE TRUNK. IF THE HAPPENS ON NOWHERE LANDS AND NO CELL PHONE SIGNALS THEN IT IS DANGEROUS.
MASTER CONTROL LIGHT ON, NOT IDLING, WONT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUMPING GAS, CUTS OF RANDOMLY WHEN I STOP AND MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN AND IS ALWAYS SEARCHING. SO MUCH SO THAT IT WILL LUNGE AT TIMES WHEN ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS ACCELERATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN SLOWLY APPLYING GAS AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS AND THEN IT SURGES AND CAUSES MY HEAD TO SLAM INTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. ALSO WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE IS DECENTLY LOUD, MORE SO WHEN DEFROSTER IS ENGAGED. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IT TENDS TO DO BETTER, BUT MOST ISSUES APPEAR TO BE IN CITY DAY TO DAY DRIVING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/ OR FUEL SYSTEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN THE CARPORT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE CARPORT. THE VEHICLE BOUNCED OFF THE VEHICLE, STRUCK THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE, AND KEPT ACCELERATING INTO A FIELD. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE THE FIELD WAS MUDDY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALL STAR TOYOTA OF BATON ROUGE (9150 AIRLINE HWY, BATON ROUGE, LA 70815) WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
I HAVE TWO PROBLEM WITH MY NEW CAR: 1) I HAVE A MOLDY ODOR COMING FROM OUT AC SYSTEM WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE NEW CAR, AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I COULD FLUSH THE AC SYSTEM AND INSTALL A CHARCOAL CABIN FILTER, BUT THERE IS NO PERMANENT SOLUTION TO FIXING THE ODOR COMING FROM THE CAR. 2) MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP TO CHANGE LINES ON A FREEWAY OR MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, MY ENGINE REVS BUT DOESN'T RESPOND FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS BECOMES REALLY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT'S USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I'M SPEEDING UP TO MERGE OR CHANGE LANES.
WE MET WITH A CAR ACCIDENT ON 11/11/2019 MORNING. OUR CAR GOT BADLY HIT ON THE FRONT SIDE AND HAS BEEN DECLARED TOTALED BY INSURANCE. VIN [XXX]. THIS IS A TOYOTA CAMRY 2018. THE MAIN REASON WE WENT WITH THIS CAR IS THE SAFETY THAT WAS ADVERTISED. HOWEVER, DURING THIS CRASH NONE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM THE CAR AND HELPED MY WIFE (THE DRIVER) FROM GETTING THE SHOCK. SHE ALSO GOT NECK STRAIN DURING THIS INCIDENT. IF THIS DUE TO THE FAULTY AIR BAG, IT MAKES ME ANNOYED AS MY 8 YEAR SON WAS ALSO ON THE CAR WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER THIS CAR IS REALLY THAT SAFE AS IT IS GETTING ADVERTISED AND REQUIRE YOU HELP IN REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE NEXT STEPS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO 50 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH THE SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE FEATURE SUDDENLY ACTIVATED. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK THE BLACK BOX INFORMATION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREEN'S TOYOTA OF LEXINGTON (630 E NEW CIRCLE RD, LEXINGTON, KY 40505, (859) 254-5751). IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE ROTORS FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE CONTACT FELT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT GOING TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS STILL RESEARCHING THE INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE VEHICLE'S BLACK BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER BETWEEN 10 TO 15 TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.
THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE THE LINES AND IT IS SLIGHTLY RAISED IN THE MIDDLE. I'VE NEVER OWN A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY A NEW CAR THAT YOU COULD VISIBLY SEE THE EXACT LINES WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I WOULDN'T BE CONCERNED, BUT I KNOW IF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON ANOTHER CAMRY NEAR ME.
WHEN ONE STARTS THE CAR BY PUSHING THE START BOTTOM, THE CAR WILL START TO SHAKE AND SOON A VERY LOAD CRACKING AND RATTLING NOISE WILL BEGAN COMING FROM THE ENGINE. ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND THEN TURNS OFF CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE AWARE OF SOME ISSUE. ONCE THE CONCERNING NOISE GOES AWAY THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHAKE BUT EVENTUALLY STOPS AFTER A WHILE. THIS COULD MAKE THE CAR TO STALL AND CAUSING A POTENTIAL CRASH. THE VEHICLE LEFT BLIND SIDE DETECTOR DOES NOT RESPOND 100%, IT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 60% OF THE TIME. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO THINK HE/SHE ARE CLEAR TO TURN TO THE LEFT LANE IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY AND IT CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO HIT ANOTHER CAR AND POTENTIALLY CRASHING. THE SCREEN PANEL GLITCHES FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE AND LOCATE RADIO STATIONS OR MANIPULATE THE PANEL.
TL* THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONSUMER HAS STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. ALSO, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. ADDITIONALLY, AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE WAS DETECTED AND THE BLIND SPOT SENSOR FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM ELLIS HYUNDAI ATLANTA (5785 PEACHTREE BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341, (770) 454-6789), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,500 . *BF *AS
CAR SEEMS LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON BUT ITS NOT. WHEN I DRIVE OFF IT PULLS BACK AND HESITATES. THE SEATBELT DOESNT ALWAYS SEND THE SIGNAL THAT IAM WEARING IT WHICH MAKES THE CAR SEAT ALARM GO OFF. THE CAR WONT TURN OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON MULITIPLE TIMES THE AC COOLING IS LOUD ALONG WITH THE ENGINE SOUND BEING ALSO LOUD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO INCREASE THE SPEED TO 50 MPH. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KOONS TOYOTA (8610 LEESBURG PIKE, VIENNA, VA 22182, 703-790-5920) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AXLE ASSEMBLY AND THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1910182445. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
THE VERY FIRST AND SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS 2018 CAMRY LE IS ITS GAS PEDAL . IT IS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL . DUE TO THAT IT GETS SO HARD TO GIVE GAS POWER TO ENGINE AND DUE TO THAT CAR GIVE JERKS TO PICK UP THE ACCELERATION AND START JERKING AND SECONDLY DUE TO THAT STEERING WHEEL ALSO GET REALLY TIGHT AND ALSO IT MAKES THE SHIFTING OF THE GEAR OF TRANSMISSION GET STUCK. GAS PEDAL NEED TO BE SOFT, WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL TO GIVE THE RACE OR ACCELERATION TO CAR FOR TO CHANGE GEARS AUTOMATICALLY FROM TRANSMISSION. IT IS VERY SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN THE GAS PEDAL GET STUCK AND STAY STIFF VERY HARD
IN AUGUST 2918, THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM MCGEORGE TOYOTA OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. IN FEBRUARY 2019,THE AC WAS NOT COOLING. IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL HIGH PRESSURE LEAKS. THE CONDENSER WAS REPLACED IN THE CAR AND HAS ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED THREE OTHER TIMES, AS TWO OTHER TIMES THE FREON WAS FOUND TO BE LOW, AND LEAKS FROM HIGH PRESSURE LINES. AFTER THE SECOND REPAIR IN MARCH 2019, THE WIRING WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY, WHICH IN TURN HEATED THE VENTS UP SO HOT, IT PRODUCED A MILD BURN ON MY FINGERS. WHILE DRIVING, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS WAS EXTREMELY HOT, SO I TURNED THE BLOWER DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE VENTS IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. FURTHERMORE, THE MIRROR WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND A PIECE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN JANUARY OF 2019. TODAY, ON 10/24/19, THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN MOTION AND IN A STATIONARY POSITION. WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED, IT EFFECTED POWER, STEERING, BRAKES, AIR BAGS AND SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR FUNCTIONS. I LEFT FOR WORK AND NOTICED MY CAR JUST SEEMED TO BE DRIVING ODDLY. I PULLED OFF TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND GET COFFEE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT INTO THE STORE. WHEN I CAME TO THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT, I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. NEARLY ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND DRIVE NORMALLY. OVERALL, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL MAJOR ISSUES WITH WIRING, ELECTRICAL, BODY AND HAS POSED A SERIOUS THREAT TO MY SAFETY. I HAVE CONTRACTED THE MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIME AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPAIR IT; HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS ARE CONSISTENT. THE MANUFACTURER DEMONSTRATES A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE DEFECTS AND HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THESE SAFETY CONCERNS.
AC SYSTEM SMELLS LIKE MOLD. STARTED WHEN VEG ONLY HAD 5000 MILES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INTO THE STREET AND UP A HILL WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVEN TOYOTA (2970 S MAIN ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 434-1400) WHERE IT WAS KEPT FOR OVER A WEEK, BUT NO FAILURE WERE IDENTIFIED. A WEEK LATER, THE CONTACT PARKED IN FRONT OF A HOUSE WHERE IT ACCELERATED AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY REFERRED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WANTED THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ASSIGNED TO TWO CASE MANAGERS TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *BF *LN*JB *TR
MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A VERY ROUGH SHIFTING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN EVER I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, REVERSE, OR PARK THE VEHICLE MAKES A THUD SOUNDS AND SHAKES A BIT. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND I AM ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LARGE DELAY BEFORE IT SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT GEAR, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS SHIFTING INTO THE WRONG GEAR BECAUSE OF THE LACK OR POWER OR TOO MUCH POWER AT TIMES. IT IS ESPECIALLY TELLING WHEN I'M ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT TO THE TOYOTA AUTO DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST IN THE PAST TO WHICH THEY HAVE RESPONDED THAT THIS IS STANDARD WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE 2018 CAMRY'S, AND THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE REPORTED SUCH A THING. I HAVE OWNED 3 TOYOTA CAMRYS BEFORE THIS 2018, AND NEVER HAD I HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS ON THEM. AND IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE SO NEW AND WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE TO EXHIBIT SUCH POOR PERFORMANCE.
LEFT REAR RIM CRACKED, NO TIRE DAMAGE OR OTHER WHEEL DAMAGE. DID NOT NOTICE ANY MAJOR POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING. DID NOT NOTICE DURING ANY EVENT, JUST THE DISTORTION OF THE RIM WHEN APPROACHING THE VEHICLE.
WHEN DRIVING THERES A TIGHTNESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO FIND OUT WHATS IS WRONG IN MY CAR AND SAYING THAT THERE IS INTERNAL MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE CAR THAT THEY CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT , THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND STILL LOW MILEAGE IN THE CAR AND I NEVER EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF ISSUES BEFORE. JUST WONDERING ITS A NEWER CAR AND ALREADY HAVE ISSUES. TOYOTA LAST LONG THATS WHY I CHOOSED TO BUY IT.
THE DRIVER WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM CANNOT BE LIFTED UP BY DESIGN, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS OK AND LIKE IN ALL OTHER VEHICLES, BOTH WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUPPOSED TO LIFT UP COMPLETELY FOR CLEANING, SNOW REMOVAL ETC
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE I GET A STALLED RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS AND THEN IT JERKS FORWARD. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREETS BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT IF STOP AND GO MOVEMENTS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, EVEN WHEN STOPPING TO TURN DOWN A STREET. I'M NOT SURE WHY THE VEHICLE DOES THIS, I JUST BOUGHT IT SO IT SHOULD STILL BE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR A CAR CRASH. PLEASE HAVE TOYOTA FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ERRATICALLY, WHEN CRUISING AT A CONSTANT SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IT FEELS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFT THEN UP SHIFTED, THIS HAPPENS A FEW OF TIMES A WEEK TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL IN 4 CYLINDER, BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR I HAVE 2013 CAMRY WITH NO SUCH ISSUE. THE MOST ANNOYING, BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS SOUND HOLLOW AND MAKE A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN SHUTTING THE DOORS. THEY SOUND LIKE METAL BANGING OR HOLLOW TIN CANS. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THAT THE ADHESIVE ON THE DOOR SKIN COULD BE BAD CAUSING THE METAL THUMPING SOUND. I CAN MAKE A VIDEO AND SEND IT TO YOU GUYS IF NEEDED. THANK YOU.
WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL GOES FROM TIGHT TO LOOSE AS YOU MAKE A TURN. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS REALLY TIGHT AND HARD TO TURN. THIS ISSUE STARTED AT 37,429 MILES, WHICH IS CONVENIENTLY 1,429 OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
WHENEVER I HAVE 1 OR 2 BACKSEAT PASSENGERS, THE SEATS THAT AREN'T OCCUPIED IN THE BACK THE SENSORS GO OFF AS IF SOMEONE'S IN THE SEAT AND NEEDS TO PUT ON THEIR SEATBELT. SO I JUST PUT THE SEATBELT CONNECTED SO IT STOPPED SENSORING.
TODAY AUG 31 2019, I TEST DROVE THE ABOVE VEHICLE. 2 THINGS I NOTICED DURING DRIVING. 1). AT START UP THERE WAS A VERY AUDIBLE TICKING SOUND AT THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. IT WAS MUCH MORE AUDIBLE WHEN THE HOOD WAS RAISED, AND IT STOPPED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS WITH ONLY A FAMILIAR TICKING SOUND OF THE 4 CYLNDER ENGINE ONCE IT STOPPED 2). MOST IMPORTANT - DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BOGG DOWN, AND FEEL LIKE THE FUEL WAS NOT FEEDING PROPERLY, OR THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 15 MPH OR SO, IT SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMAL. I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, ONLY CITY STREETS. THE ACCELERATION SHOULD BE OF MAJOR CONCERN.
WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT, APPLIED BRAKES & CAR EXCELLERATED, WOULD NOT STOP. ALMOST WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK. SCHAUMBURG TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE IS LOOKING INTO MATTER.
THERE ARE TWO ISSUES WITH MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 10,250 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY. (1) ONE IS A KNOCKING SOUND THAT A TOYOTA DEALER I TOOK IT TO SAID IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE PULLED THE ENGINE BUT THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS YET. THIS PROBLEM WAS MISSED WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE 10,000 OIL CHANGE ON JULY 30TH, AND EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT A NOISE I THOUGHT COULD BE A MUFFLER NOISE.. THIS ENGINE COULD HAVE FAILED AND ONLY LUCKY FOR ME IT DIDN'T WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND FOR THE (2) TRANSMISSION POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN I PULL OUT INTO MAJOR STREETS FROM A SIDE STREET, I HAVE TO DO IT VERY GRADUALLY AND CANNOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT WILL MISS GEARS. THIS ALSO COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PASS OTHER TRAFFIC ON BUSY HIGHWAYS OF ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION. *TT CONSUMER STATED SHE DOES NOT WISH THE INVESTIGATOR TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE AUTOMAKER AT THIS TIME OF THE INVESTIGATION.*JB
THE RADAR SENSOR CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONS AND TURNS ITSELF OFF. INITIALLY THOUGHT BY THE DEALER TO BE DUE TO RAIN, EVEN DURING SUNNY CONDITIONS IT MALFUNCTIONS. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO GET RADAR SPEED CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN YOU DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND HAS NO FIX. THIS SHOULDN'T BE OCCURRING UNLESS THEIR IS A DIRECT BLOCKAGE OF RADAR SIGNAL ON THE SENSOR.
WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING FROM ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND AROUND 2500 REVOLUTION PER MINUTE, THE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION SHAKES AND/OR STALL.
SIDEWALL FAILURE TOTAL LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE AND HAD TO REPLACE TIRE WITH ONLY 20000 MILES ON TIRE AND APPROX. 7/32 TREAD ON TIRE.
VEHICLE IS SHUTTERING AT STOP SIGNS AND HAS A MAJOR LAG IN ACCELERATION WHICH HAS LEAD TO SOME CLOSE CALLS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, MY CAR HAS ALWAYS REFUSED TO ACCELERATE ON TIME, OFTEN OVERCOMPENSATING AND LUNGING FORWARD, OR UNDERGOING A ROLLING SENSATION AND ACCELERATING. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING/TIRES TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK AND TODAY AS WELL. WHEN MAKING A TURN AND ACCELERATING THE CAR TIRES SKID VERY LOUDLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES ON ITS OWN TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I ALMOST WENT OUT OF MY LANE BECAUSE OF THIS. TIRES ARE FINE AND DO NOT SHOW EXCESSIVE WEAR OR DAMAGE.
SIDEWALL DAMAGE HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY TIRE DEFLATED QUICKLY INDICATOR ON DASH ILLUMINATED. PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION AND TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. REQUIRED ROAD SERVICE TO INSTALL SPARE BECAUSE WIFE IS A HEART PATIENT AND CANNOT CHANGE TIRE. LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING THROUGH A TOWN AT UNDER 40 MPH. PICTURE ATTACHED OF SIDEWALL DAMAGE NOT SURE IF IT LOOKS DEFECTIVE OR WAS A ROAD HAZARD.
THE WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD ON MODERATE HEAVY RAIN VISIBILITY IS VERY BAD. I OWN A 2002 CAMRY WHICH DOES A BETTER JOB. AS PER MY OBSERVATION THE WIPER FREQUENCY NEEDS TO BE INCREASED .
WAS RAINING AND PUSH THE BRAKE AND THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND THE WHEELS SLIPPED ON THE PAVEMENT
IN MOTION: TODAY 7/28/2019 WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I LOOKED DOWN IN THE GEAR SHIFT DRIVE AND NEUTRAL WAS LIT AND THE NETRULA WAS FLASHING. NEXT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, AND THE DASH START FLASHING STAR INFLATION MALFUNCTION AND SEE A DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I JUST PURCHASED . MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY.
THE RESPONSE TIME OF ACCELERATING AND THE CAR MOVING IS SIGNIFICANT AT IRREGULAR INTERVALS. THIS IS HAZARDOUS WHEN I AM PLANNING TO OVERTAKE BECAUSE IT TAKES LONGER THAN EXPECTED.
2018 CAMRY SE, SLOW TO TAKE OFF WHEN STEPPING ON GAS AFTER A STOP OR SLOW DOWN MOSTLY NOTICEABLE ON CITY STREETS. VERY HESITANT & GAS MUST BE PUMPED IN ORDER FOR TRANSMISSION TO CATCH UP. ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT WHEN COMING OFF EXIT RAMP & ONTO HIGHWAY. CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE & OTHER DRIVERS WERE AT SPEED LIMIT BEHIND ME. GEARS SHIFT ALMOST LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. GAS PEDAL CAN BE DIFFICULT TO PUSH AT TIMES AS WELL.
THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS VERY JERKY LIKE IT'S IN THE WRONG GEAR. I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GOING TO GET REAR-ENDED WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH GEAR TO SHIFT INTO.
TAKATA RECALL. WHENEVER I ENGAGES THE BRAKE OR SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS AND IT DOES THIS FROM DAY 1 THAT BOUGHT THE CAR
THIS VEHICLE GAVE ME PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. TO BEGIN, IT BEGAN BREAKING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND MY TOYOTA DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WAS A LIAR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR, UNKNOWING WHEN IT WOULD STOP ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AGAIN. IT THEN HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD AND RADIO WOULD GO BLACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING; MY AIR CONDITIONER WOULD STOP AS WELL. ALSO, I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE ALONE WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT KEPT BREAKING ME AND TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF CONSTANT DRIVING (PICTURE BELOW). THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR WAS THAT THE LANE ASSIST WOULD PULL ME OUT OF MY LANE AND INTO ANOTHER WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT BETWEEN LINES. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND TOYOTA WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY ABOUT 75 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE AND IT PULLED HER OFF THE ROAD TO THE LEFT. THIS CAR GAVE ME NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. MY CAR STARTED THIS TROUBLE WITHIN 5 MONTHS OF ME OWNING THE VEHICLE AND TOYOTA PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. I WAS VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED THAT I CHOSE THIS CAR ABOVE OTHERS. I HOPE TOYOTA WILL DO THEIR JOB AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS SO ANOTHER CAMRY DRIVER MAY NOT EXPERIENCE WHAT I, UNFORTUNATELY, HAD TO.
AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR COMPLETELY STOPPING, MY CAR STALLS AS I REACCELERATE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN (I.E TO TURN, ETC) AND THEN REACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS, SLOW TO GAIN SPEED, AND AT TIMES EVEN JERKS SLIGHTLY- THIS MAINLY OCCURS WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND THEN REACCELERATE ON AN INCLINE (I.E GETTING ON A BRIDGE). IF I AM STOPPED COMPLETELY AT A LIGHT, ETC, THE CAR DELAYS UPON ACCELERATION, AND WILL KICK-IN AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS, ALSO, IF I ATTEMPT TO INCREASE MY SPEED SUDDENLY (I.E TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE QUICKLY TO PREVENT BEING REAR-ENDED!) THE TIME TO ACCELERATE IS DELAYED. THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT STICK, BUT SEEMS TO BE A DELAY IN CHANGING GEARS OR SOMETHING. I DRIVE ~120 MILES A DAY, MOSTLY MULTI-LANE ROADWAYS, AND IN HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS WITH MANY TOURISTS AND YOUNG DRIVERS. I ENCOUNTER MANY IRRESPONSIBLE SPEEDERS EVERYDAY, AND SOMETIMES I NEED TO GET OUT OF THEIR WAY ASAP TO AVOID BEING RUN OVER! THIS IS MY 4TH TOYOTA IN 20 YEARS, AND A REGRETTABLE PURCHASE. THIS ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT EVERYDAY SINCE.
CAR GETS VERY CONFUSED WHEN SHIFTING. DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT GEAR IT'S WANTS TO BE PLACED IT. WHEN I'M AUTO SHIFTING SETTING NO PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING OR TRANSMISSION.
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION: 1: CAR HESITATES TO SPEED UP FROM A FULL STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION. 2: RPM'S GO OVER 3000 BEFORE CAR REACTS (2-3 SECONDS DELAY) , DANGEROUS SPECIALLY WHEN TAKING CURVES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC (HIGHWAYS, FAST TRAFFIC ROADS). 3: I FEEL A "HICCUP" LIKE MOVEMENT WHILE IN MOTION (SOMETIMES). 4: CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS WHIT EXCESSIVE POWER. 5: DOWNSHIFTS AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION (IT HAPPENS ERRATICALLY DEALER HAVE REPLACED THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST, NOW THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE COMPUTER AND IF THE PROBLEM PERSIST THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON"T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM REALLY IS. UNTIL NOW THIS ARE THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2018 CAMRY 4-CYL, CERTAINLY SOMETHING I WASN'T EXPECTING FROM A TOYOTA PRODUCT. THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR OF THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO RESPONSE AS IT SHOULD DO OR WHEN I'LL HAVE TO FLOOR IT SO IT CAN REV UP AND FINALLY MOVE.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING CLEAR CONDITIONS DURING A TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE STEERING BECAME HEAVIER. THE STEERING WHEEL NOW STICKS AT MULTIPLE POINTS AND DOES NOT TURN BACK TO CENTER WITHOUT HEAVY FORCE, IT ALSO RATTLES LOUDLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE 2018 CAMRY HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN.
THE CAR APPLIED THE BRAKES VERY HARD WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE WITH NO OBJECTS OR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. I WAS RUNNING AROUND 50MPH AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE ACTIVATED AND THE CAR SLOWED TO NEARLY 20MPH.
THIS VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR DELAY/HESITATION WHEN HITTING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT TAKES 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE REACTS. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE LANE TRAFFIC - THE CHANCES OF BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION ARE HIGH. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH A DEALER AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE THE ISSUE THAT I AM EXPERIENCING - IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES! I AM FED UP WITH THE LACK OF ACTION TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS FLAW.
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN CRUISE MODE AND SUDDENLY WARNING AND PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON TOGETHER, AND A MESSAGE POPS-UP IN THE SCREEN SHOWING THE CRUISE CONTROL IS UNAVAILABLE. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL GETS DISABLED AND THE CAR START DROPPING THE SPEED UNLESS CONTROLLED MANUALLY. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES THE LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY GO BACK TO NORMAL. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE CALIBRATED SOME SENSORS BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RODENTS ENTERED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ATE THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE WIRING ATTRACTED RODENTS AND OTHER ANIMALS. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT RODENTS ATE THE WIRING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF RIDGECREST (321 N CHINA LAKE BLVD, RIDGECREST, CA 93555, (760) 375-4401) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS RODENT DAMAGE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. *BF*JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARALLEL PARKING, THE RPMS INCREASED TO 6,000 AND THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF IT WANTED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT QUICKLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED MORSE DELRAY TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 2800 S FEDERAL HWY, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483, (888) 469-2898) WHERE NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE DEALER ACCUSED THE CONTACT OF DEPRESSING BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1811150364. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.*BF *JB
1. EVERY TIME I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY BRAKES SQUEAK VERY LOUDLY. 2. THE TRANSMISSION NEVER KNOWS WHAT GEAR TO BE IN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL CLUNK IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. 3. HAS A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC AND OIL LIKE WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS HOT. 4. DRIVE SIDE CABIN HAS A CONSTANT ANTIFREEZE SMELL WHILE RUNNING THE A/C 5. THE ENGINE HAS A HORRIBLE LOAD KNOCKING NOISE WHILE RUNNING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY OLD CAR. 6. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR OR IF IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY BUT THE 3-5 SEC DELAY IS DANGEROUS I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN GASTONIA NC AT THE 5 MILE, 10MILE AND 15MILE SERVICE AND EACH TIME THE DEALER JUST TELLS ME ITS FINE AND THAT'S NORMAL.
CAR ENGINE KNOCKS AFTER WARMING UP. KNOCKS GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK. LOSS OF POWER AND NOISY DRIVING. OCCASIONALLY ENGINE SHAKES AT STARTUP. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR ALL THE TIMES AND SHE COMPLAINT ME SEVERAL TIMES IN HER WORDS THAT CAR IS NOT SMOOTH AND I KEEP IGNORING. I HAVE STARTED DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER HER COMPLAINT TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS WRONG OR CAR IS SAFE. I HAVE RECORDED SEVERAL VIDEOS OF ENGINE KNOCKING HAVING CAR PARKED IN MY GARAGE. SECONDLY GEAR SHIFTING IS VERY ABNORMAL. SOMETIMES SHIFTS DOWN FOR NO REASON AND SOMETIMES TAKES LONGER TO SHIFT DOWN WHILE PASSING AND STAYS IN LOWER GEAR FOR LONG TIME ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS EVEN UPSHIFTED USING LEVER ON STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT RECORD ABNORMAL SHIFTING OPERATION DUE TO SAFETY REASON DURING DRIVING. I AM JUST NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON BUT I NOTICED THIS WEEK AGO AFTER MY WIFE COMPLAINT.
I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 4 MILES ON IT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. WHILE RESUMING DRIVING ,FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR HAS A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. IT MAKES A LOUD REVVING NOISE LIKE A SPORTS CAR WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DOES NOT TAKE OFF WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL . IT IS A MAJOR DELAY .ITS VERY SLOW, AND YOU BARELY MOVE WHILE THE CAR IS MAKING A TREMENDOUS AND EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF LOUD NOISE. IN ORDER TO TRY AND AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND AT THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. ITS TOTALLY RANDOM . I COULD TAKE OFF OUT OF SYNC WITH PRESSING THE GAS TOO QUICKLY , OR BARELY MOVE AT ALL. THIS IS HAZARDOUS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID BOTH TIMES, THAT THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.
FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF DRIVING, THERE BECAME A TERRIBLE AND ANNOYING HESITATION OF 3-5 SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING. SINCE THIS IS A V6, IT ACCELERATES GREAT, BUT I REALIZED AFTER DECELERATION AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN, THERE WAS A LONG DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD 'CATCH UP' WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WANTED TO GO AGAIN. UPON COMPLAINING TO SERVICE, THEY SAID IT TAKES SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FOR THE COMPUTER TO LEARN HOW EACH INDIVIDUAL DRIVES. AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES, THE SAME OCCURRENCE, AND IT SEEMED TO EVEN GET WORSE AS I SOMETIMES SPIN THE FRONT TIRES (ON ICE AND SNOW AND WET ROADS) ONCE THE CAR'S COMPUTER ACTUALLY ACCELERATED. ONCE THE DEALER ACTUALLY 'RESET' THE COMPUTER WHICH MADE THINGS WORSE BECAUSE THE 'LEARNING' MODE STARTED OVER. SEVERAL TIMES I COMPLAINED AND FINALLY ONE OF THE MASTER TECHS ADMITTED THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE DRIVE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM THAT REPLACED THE MECHANICAL FOOT-PEDAL DIRECT ACCELERATION. HE SAID IT'S ALSO COMPLICATED BY THE 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION, THAT WHEN DECELERATING, THE TRANS UPSHIFTS TO MAYBE 6TH OR 8TH GEAR, AND ONCE THE DRIVER ACCELERATES AGAIN, THE DRIVE-BY-WORE SYSTEM , WHICH IS ALREADY DELAYING ACCELERATION FROM THE DRIVERS FOOT PRESSURE, HAS TO THEN UP SHIFT SEVERAL GEARS 'IMMEDIATELY', THIS CAUSING A LURCHING (AND SOMETIMES TIRE SPIN). TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THE 'PROBLEM', BUT SAYS SINCE OTHER SIMILAR CARS DO THE SAME THING, THAT IT'S 'NORMAL'. I DISAGREE. IT'S IS A FAULT, A DESIGN DEFECT, AND IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED. TOYOTA HAS BECOME SERVICE-LAZY IN RECENT YEARS AND REFUSES TO FIX DESIGN FLAWS, FORCING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DEAL WITH FAULTY CARS.
GEAR SHIFTING IS WIRED BETWEEN 25 MPH AND 45 MPH SOME TIMES VERY ROUGH AND SOME TIMES IT DOWN SHIFT AND YOU FEEL MORE POWER THEN NORMAL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE FAILED TO OPERATE. WHILE DRIVING, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE FRONT MIDDLE PORTION OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE BRUISES, A BROKEN STERNUM, AND WHIPLASH AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH, BUT HAD NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FACILITY. A DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YET. MALLOY TOYOTA (400 WEEMS LN, WINCHESTER, VA 22601, (866) 788-9507) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ABNORMAL CONDITION BEFORE AND AFTER THE CRASH, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD ISSUED 4 TSBS FOR LANE DEPARTURE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE TSB AND THEY HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR A REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, TOYOTA MADE THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE VERY SLOW TO REACT TO THROTTLE INPUTS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND STOMP ON THE GAS, THERE CAN BE AS MUCH AS A 1.5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING. THIS CAN BE PRETTY DANGEROUS SUCH AS WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR MOVE SO SOMEONE DOESN'T HIT YOU. NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT HAD SUCH A DELAY UNLESS IT HAD A TURBO, BUT THE CAMRY RESPONDS EVEN SLOWER (CAMRY DOES NOT HAVE A TURBO). I;VE HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS...IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMON COMPLAINT.
I JUST BOUGHT A CAMRY SE 2018 AND EVERYTIME FROM TAKEOFF TO A STOP PEDALS OR TRANSMISSION FEEL ROUGT IS LIKE THE CAR DONT MOVE IF YOU GONNA TAKE OFF I NEED TO PRESS THE PEDAL SO HARD TO GET THE CAR MOVE TO PASS THE OTHERS CARS THE SAME THING I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR I HAVE A 2017 ELANTRA AT THAT HYUNDAI HANDLE BETTER THAN THE CAMRY SO ACELERATION IS ROUGHT I JUST HAVE TWO DAYS DRIVING AND I KNOW THATS CANT BE LIKE THAT. SO THAT HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICULE IS IN MOTION AFTER STOP WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER STOP WHEN GOING TO DRIVE AGAIN HARD ACELERATION AND CAR WASTING TO MUCH GAS CAMRY HAS 43K I BOUGHT IT USE AND THAT HAPPEN THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT I WAS THINKING MAYBE IS ME CAUSE I HAVE A HYUNDAI BUT I DROVE BEFORE A 2014 CAMRY AND IS NOT LIKE THAT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED, AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,600.
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION: 1: CAR HESITATES TO SPEED UP FROM A FULL STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION. 2: RPM'S GO OVER 3000 BEFORE CAR REACTS (2-3 SECONDS DELAY) , DANGEROUS SPECIALLY WHEN TAKING CURVES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC (HIGHWAYS, FAST TRAFFIC ROADS). 3: I FEEL A "HICCUP" LIKE MOVEMENT WHILE IN MOTION (SOMETIMES). 4: CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS WHIT EXCESSIVE POWER. 5: DOWNSHIFTS AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION (IT HAPPENS ERRATICALLY) 6: I HEARD A SOFT METAL-TO-METAL "KNOCK" SOUND WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL WHILE IN MOTION. UNTIL NOW THIS ARE THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2018 CAMRY 4-CYL, CERTAINLY SOMETHING I WASN'T EXPECTING FROM A TOYOTA PRODUCT. THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR OF THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO RESPONSE AS IT SHOULD DO OR WHEN I'LL HAVE TO FLOOR IT SO IT CAN REV UP AND FINALLY MOVE.
EVERYTIME WE STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DELAYS TAKE OFF RESPONSE AS OF THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ON 4TH GEAR THEN RAPIDLY DROPS IT TO 1ST OR 2ND WHICH THEN CREATES A REALLY JERKY EFFECT WHICH IS NOT COMFORTABLE, NOT SAFE AND NOT RELIABLE.
MOVING SLOWLY I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO CHANGE LANES AND ACCELERATED, THE TRANS SEEMED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT CAR WOULD NOT GO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGED. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE CARS COMING UP BEHIND COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. I WAS GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND TRIED TO CHANGE LANES.
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JERKS WHEN GOING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DON'T KNOW WHAT HEAR TO GO IN AT TIMES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BLIND SPOT SENSOR FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER HIS GIRLFRIEND SRATCHED THE VEHICLE'S BUMPER WHILE REVERSING. THE "BLIND SPOT SENSOR MIRROR DETECTED" MESSAGE APPEARED. TOYOTA OF HUNTINGTON (1030 E JERICHO TURNPIKE, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746, (631) 423-6644) INSTALLED A NEW SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE SAME WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,514.
TAKATA RECALL: WHEN ACCELERATING AND DEACCELERATING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS REALLY ROUGH AND MAKES THE CAR JERKY LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR DRIVING THIS WAY. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS AND WANT TO GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS ROUGH RIDE EXPERIENCE!
LAG AND HESITATION WHEN GOING TO FULL THROTTLE ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT HESITATES FOR A SECOND AND THEN FINALLY GRABS ON TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT BUT WAS HOPING IT WOULD WORK ITSELF OUT EVENTUALLY, BUT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED. TOYOTA DID A TSB SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE 4 CYLINDER BUT NOT THE V6.
BLINDSPOT NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA IN FOR SERVICE TODAY. I INFORMED THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I SENT THEM PICTURES OF THE BLIND SPOT COMING ON AT RANDOM TIME OR NOT COMING ON AT ALL. THE PHOTO ATTACHED WAS ME DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD AND IT COMING ON, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I EVEN HAVE A 15 SECOND VIDEO OF ME PASSING AN 18 WHEELER. AS I PASSED THIS VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT THE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE DEALER AGAIN TOLD ME IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO THEM THEN THEY CAN'T REPLACE THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 19,650 MILES.
WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN IN FORWARD THE CAR JERKS. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR AT LOWER SPEEDS AND MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, OR SHIFTS DOWN OR UP JERKY LIKE IT SKIPS GEARS OR IT CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF. THE BULLETIN RECOMMENDS THAT DEALERS REPROGRAM THE PCM MODULE. THE BULLETIN IS TSB #T-SB-0330-17. THE DEALER WON'T REPROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S NIT A RECALL ISSUE.
2018 TOYOTA CAMRY XSE. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERN TO A SAFETY HAZARD REGARDING UNEXPECTED SUDDEN BRAKING WITH VEHICLE. *AS *TR
WHILE DRIVING, WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY JERKY. ANY SORT OF INCLINE SEEMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE EVEN FURTHER! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT WHAT WOULD I KNOW, EVEN THOUGH I DRIVE IT 110 MILES A DAY. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED FROM TAKEOFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE RPM'S WANT TO JUMP AND THE PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY. I REALLY HATE THE TRANSMISSION JERKING THIS HARD WHEN I'M DRIVING 75-80 ON THE INTERSTATE. I ALSO DIDNT WANT TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR THE CAMRY, WHICH I HOLD IN HIGH REGARD, ONLY FOR THIS TO CONTINUE HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAD IT LOOKED AT WITH AROUND 6K MILES AND NOW I HAVE 13K ON THE CAR, WITH ZERO IMPROVEMENT. TOYOTA, PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM!
2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES TO RECOMMEND A RECALL NOTICE ON VEHICLE MODEL BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. *AS *TR
THE CAR HARD SHIFTS ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR... SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR, SOME LAG TIME WHEN ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO START ABOUT 5K-8K MILES. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER SAID TO SWITCH TO PREMIUM GAS, THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY TAKE 4 WEEKS TO GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION. DEALER IS ALSO UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2018 CAMRY.
BRAKES SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF SLOPED DRIVEWAY ON COLD MORNING. ALSO, LIGHT SHEET OF RUST ON EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR SURFACE OF ALL DISCS. SQUEAL GOES AWAY AFTER A SHORT WHILE (ABS WARM-UP ISSUE?), AND THE EXTERIOR RUST WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS OF USE. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD SUCH ON A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE (HAVE DRIVEN MULTIPLE NEW CARS OVER 40 YEARS).
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR CONTROL PANEL POPPED-OUT EASILY, WHEN WINDOW CONTROL UP WAS ACTIVATED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO I WASN'T DRIVING AND STARTLED/DISTRACTED BY IT (I.E., POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE). APPEARS TO BE A RETAINER CLIP ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO COULDN'T FIX IT, SO I SHIMMED THE CLIP, AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE, SINCE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO EXTRACT, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE! NO SUCH ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL PANEL. UPLOADED IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MOV VIDEO, SHOULD YOU WISH TO REVIEW IT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA E-MAIL (I'D HAVE TO UPLOAD IT TO MY WEBSITE, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE FILE).
HIT A POTHOLE ON INTERSTATE 75 AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BROKE OFF THE RIM. THE RIM AND TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACE.
HIT A POTHOLE ON INTERSTATE 75 AND BENTED THE FRONT RIGHT RIM. CANNOT BALANCE THE TIRE WITHOUT A NEW RIM.
WINDSHIELD DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF WHILE DRIVING INTO THE SUN. THERE ARE LIGHT COLORED SPECKLES THROUGHOUT THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH WHENEVER WE ARE DRIVING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN. IT'S CALLED "WINDSHIELD DELAMINATION" BUT THEY FEEL THAT THIS COMES FROM ROCKS AND SAND HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. WE NOTICED IT THE VERY FIRST DAY WE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE FIRST TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE, THE SERVICE WRITER SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND WOULDN'T EVEN WRITE IT ON THE INVOICE. WE FEEL THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD INSTEAD OF MAKING EXCUSES THAT ALL WINDSHIELDS HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AFTER A LITTLE WHILE. THIS WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE CLEARLY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHENEVER WE MUST DRIVE INTO THE SUN.
8 SPEED TRANSMISSION THE TRANSMISSION PERFORMS POORLY, REGULARLY STALLING BETWEEN SHIFTS, CAUSING A LAG IN ACCELERATION. IT CAN'T SEEM TO PICK A GEAR, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STALLED BRIEFLY, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. ONCE, AT A LARGE INTERSECTION, IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA, FROM A STOP, I ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN. THE CAR STALLED, WHILE I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING A MILD PANIC, AS I WAS CONFRONTED WITH AN 18 WHEELER ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO MY LANE. THE CAR EVENTUALLY ACCELERATED, GETTING ME OUT OF THE WAY, IN A HARRIED AND FRUSTRATED HUFF AT THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS NEW CAR. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT MIS-PERFORM UPON EVERY SINGLE SHIFT OF THE GEARS, BUT THERE WILL BE MIS-PERFORMANCE OCCURRING ON EVERY SINGLE TRIP TAKEN IN THE CAR.
I HAVE HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2018 CAMRY SINCE PURCHASING MAY 2018. MY CAR IS ALWAYS JERKING AS I ACCELERATE AND WHEN I'M DRIVING IN TOWN, FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING REAR-ENDED AND HESITATING ON HIGHWAY WHEN I HAVE TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAIFFIC WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR WON'T GET UP AND GO. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT CAN SAVE SETTINGS FROM PREVIOUS DRIVERS. THAT DIDN'T HELP. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION AND IT TAKES FEW SECONDS FOR THE COMPUTER TO COMMUNICATE BACK TO TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FEATURE. THE CAR IS SUPER LOUD AND ROUGH FEELING WITH THE TIRES. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING AN OLD VEHICLE FROM THE 80'S. THE ENTUNE APP HAS CONSTANT ISSUES OF NOT LOADING OR RECOGNIZING MY PHONE. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME AND PRESSURE TESTS FINE AT DEALER. MAINTENANCE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 5000 MILES FOR TIRE CHECK AND OIL ONLY NEEDS CHANGED 10000. MAINTENANCE LIGHT SHOULD BE SEPARATE FROM OIL CHANGE SO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE NEEDS DONE.
VERY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND BRAKES MAKE EVERY TIME I REVERSE MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY XSE. THE SOUND IS SO LOUD MY ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWS WHEN I LEAVE MY HOME. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NORMAL. NOT SURE I CAN'T TRUST MY BRAKES.
TAMARA RECALL I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS HIT BY AN SUV GOING 60+ MPH. THE IMPACT SLAMMED ME IN TO THE TWO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. MY TRUNK WAS SMASHED AND MY FRONT END WAS MESSED UP. MY RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND MY FAN WAS CRACKED. OVERALL MY CAR WAS TOTALED.... YET MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH IS WHY I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION ALONG WITH A VARIETY OF OTHER INJURIES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVE LANDERS TOYOTA (10825 COLONEL GLENN RD, LITTLE ROCK, AR 72204, (501) 568-5800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
THIS IS A SW BUG IN THE MAP NAVIGATION SETUP THAT IS DANGEROUS. THIS CAMRY HAS A FREEWAY MAP MODE SETUP WHERE THE SCREEN CAN BE SET FOR 50% MAP + 50% FREEWAY EXITS. THE MODE CAN ALSO BE SETUP FOR 100% MAP IF THAT IS PREFERRED. THIS SETTING CAN ONLY BE SET IN THE CONTEXT OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS THE 50-50 MAP MODE. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE SETTING ALWAY REVERTS BACK TO THE DEFAULT SETTING THROUGH TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. THE SETTING DOES NOT GET STORED IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY. THE DRIVER MUST RESET THE MAP-MODE EVERY TIME, AND THEY MUST DO IT WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS DANGERIOUS!
TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY DANGEROUS DELAY . DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THEN SUDDENLY REACS . WHEN SWITCHING LANES AND MERGING INTO HIGHWAY IVE HAD THE CAR NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES . TOYOTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM !!!!! NOT A SAFE CAR
CAR CANNOT SEEM TO DETERMINE WHICH GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY AND PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND A CLUNK IS HEARD AS THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS. CLUNKING SOUND IS MADE WORSE IN COLD, HUMID, OR CLOUDY WEATHER. IN THE STREETS, WHEN TURNING A CORNER AND HITTING THE GAS, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE LAG (ABOUT 2 SECONDS) UNTIL THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AND INCREASES SPEED. IF YOU WANT TO PASS SOMEONE YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE THE CAR CAN SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD AND A HIGHER SPEED THAN INTENDED, OR NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN CAR AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES FOR YOU TO AVOID A COLLISION, A LOUD RATTLING NOISE IS HEARD AND FELT THROUGHOUT CABIN WHEN DEPRESSING PEDAL, WITH MOST OF THE NOISE CONCENTRATED IN THE AREA UNDER THE HOOD OF CAR.
CAR IS OFTEN JUMPY AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN. I WILL PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN, AND THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT DELAY BEFORE THE CAR SELECTS THE PROPER GEAR, OFTEN RESULTING IN THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN TOWN, NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AFTER TURNING. AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH FOR ME TO TAKE NOTICE AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A MONTH.
AFTER HEAVY SNOWFALL AND SEVERAL DAYS OF NOT DRIVING, THE MOON ROOF ON MY CAMRY BROKE. IT STILL GOES UP AND DOWN AND OPENS AND CLOSES, BUT WHEN I CHOOSE TO BRING IT DOWN IT GOES TOO FAR DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN SNOW/RAIN TO ENTER MY VEHICLE.
TRANSMISSION HESISTATING ON TAKE OFF AND WHEN CHANGING TO ANOTHER FORWARD SPEED. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 - 3 TIMES A WEEK
ENGINE IS VERY LOUD, ACCELERATION FINE ONE MINUTE AND THE NEXT MINUTE I TRY TO ACCELERATE IT DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO GO ANYWHERE I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE BEING THAT I TRY TO ACCELERATE OUT INTO TRAFFIC. AND IT WANTS TO STALL AND LOSES ACCELERATION FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS. WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS BEING THAT I'M STUCK THERE AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC FOR THAT. OF TIME AND THEN I HAVE TO STEP ON IT WAY WAY MORE THAN WHAT I SHOULD HAVE TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY. THESE INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE ON THE CITY STREETS NOT THE HIGHWAY. ONLY IN THE BEGINNING OF ACCELERATING.
WHILE DRIVING, CAR HAS PROBLEM SELECTING THE RIGHT GEAR. I WAS DRIVING AND I DECELERATE NOT TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEM TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THAT WHEN I NOTICE CAR HAS STRUGGLE TO SELECT THE PROPER GEAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR ABOUT 2 SECOND BEFORE A ROUGH FAST START THROUGH 2 OR 3 GEAR, THEM THE PROPER GEAR IS SELECTED.
THE TRANSMISSION HAS HARSH SHIFTS. MULTIPLE TIMES COMING THROUGH THE CITY WITH STOP SIGNS IT WILL HAVE A DELAY AND JERK WHEN I START TO GO AGAIN. SOME TIMES WHEN I GO TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION THERE WILL BE A DELAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I'M CROSSING WHILE YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STARTED ITS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTERS AND RECOMMENDED I USED THE DIFFERENT MODES FOR BETTER SHIFTING. I WOULD LIKE THE BETTER FUEL ECONOMY AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT IT IN SPORT MODE FOR IT TO SOMEWHAT SHIFT BETTER. EVEN IN SPORT MODE IT STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS TO LEARN MY DRIVING PATTERN BUT AT 10K MILES I'M STILL HAVE ING THE ISSUE. IF IT WASN'T A NEW CAR I WOULD SAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD WITH HOW JERKY THE CAR CAN BE AT TIMES. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
ON DECEMBER 6, 2018, I PURCHASED A 2018 CAMRY WITH 65 MILES. I AM WRITING TO YOU REGARDING MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM. THIS LETTER ALSO DOCUMENTS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT AND LEFT ME STRANDED FOR 4 HOURS AND THEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR A DAY. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR ISSUED A MASTER WARNING LIGHT, A WARNING BUZZER, AND A MESSAGE ON THE MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY THAT QUICKLY DISAPPEARED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEM OR PEDAL ITSELF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO HELP DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. ON THE FOURTH INCIDENT, I HAVE A VIDEO THAT CLEARLY SHOWS THERE IS AN ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. IN THREE OF THE FOUR INCIDENTS, I WAS BACKING UP IN "R" AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL, PLACED CAR IN "D" AND STILL NO ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAN IT WOULD JUST GO. IF THE CAR IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE EITHER IN A TURN OR IN ANY SITUATION, THAN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH COULD OCCUR. CURRENTLY CAR IS AT A TOYOTA DEALER. TOYOTA DID NOTHING ON THE FIRST TWO VISITS, AS THERE WERE "NO CODES" AND WOULD DO NOTHING UNLESS A CODE WAS PRESENT. I PROVIDED THEM WITH A VIDEO OF THE FOURTH INCIDENT AND IT SEEMS THEY MIGHT BE A BIT MORE INTERESTED.
THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE WITH THE POWER TRAIN IS THAT WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN & HAS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP & TAKE OFF THE CAR HESITATES TO GO. IT SOMEWHAT STALLS & IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY STREET & THEN YOU STALL WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS YOU!! YOU CAN SOMETIMES PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR & IT STILL WON'T TAKE OFF LIKE IT SHOULD & THEN WHEN IT CATCHES THE CAR JERKS & THEN ACCELERATES. CRAZY HUH? I DON'T LIKE IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES & EVERY TIME THEY SAY IT'S THE WAY THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS MADE IN THE 2018 MODELS & IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT SOME POINT OF MY DRIVING TRIP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE & TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM & TAKE THIS SERIOUS BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. WITH THE VISIBILITY OR WIPERS, WHEN IT RAINS REALLY HARD THE VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE...WIPERS ON HIGH & DEFROST ON IT'S STILL JUST TERRIBLE!! TOYOTA WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS NOW!!
WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY, A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TWO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I SAW A FIRE FLASH FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND RECEIVED A SERIOUS BURN ON MY ARM. MY JACKET SLEEVE MELTED AS WELL. IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK, AND THE BURN HAS STILL NOT HEALED. SO THANKFUL MY EYES WERE NOT BURNED!
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN WET CONDITIONS, ON A FLAT, SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE, I HEARD A LOUD POP BUT THERE WAS NOT AN IMPACT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. APPROX. 30 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE, THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX 9,390K. I CONTACTED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY ARRIVED & CHANGED THE TIRE AND I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, TEAM TOYOTA IN GLEN MILLS, PA.
THE CRASH DETECTOR SYSTEM STOP WORKING FOR THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES I WAS DRIVING 40 MILE PER HOUR
THIS IS MY THIRD TOYOTA CAR THAT I BUY AS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT GRTTING A 2018 CAMRY SE BUT AM VERY DISSPOINT IT WITH THIS SITUATION MAN SO THIS IS WHATS HAPPENING TO THE CAR THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO PICK AND WHEN TO ENGAGE IT RESULTING IN A SECOND OR TWO OF DEAD ACCELERATION ONCE THE VEHICLE DECIDES WHAT TO DO, IT SENDS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RATES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO BECAUSE I DONT LIKE HOW THIS BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION WORKS. 2.THE SECOND PRONLEM IS THAT THAT CAR START SHAKING WHEN AM GOING OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND I KNOW EXACTLY THAT IS NOT WITH BALANCE AND NOT ALIGHNMRNT BECAUSE IDONT FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING I FELL THE SHAKING IS COMMING FROM THE ENGINE I CAN GUARANTEED U THAT IS COMING FROM THERE BECAUSE WHEN I STOP ACCELARETING IT GOES AWAY BUT ONCE I ACCELERATE AGAIN STARTS THAT VIBRATION AGAIN SO TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE MORE SPECIFIC AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE CUSTOMER ARE 100%% HAPPY WITH THEIR CAR AND STOP TESTING THIS BRAND NEWS PLATFORM WITH THE PEOPLE MONEY BECAUSE I CAN TELK U THAT AT LEAST 40 PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE THEY ARE REGRETING OF BUYING THIS CAR JUST BECAUSE THIS KINDA OF PROBLEM SO I WISH THERES A REMEDY TGAT TOYOTA IT MIGHT XONSIDERING TO FIX THIS INDS OF PROBLEM WHICH I HATE ABOUT IT ST ALL
I LIVE IN MA , APON A EARLY NOVEMBER SLEET MY CAR DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. DISABLING MY ANTI CRASH SYSTEM WITH LIGHTS GOING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE I ALMOST CRASHED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SIX MONTH SERVICE AT 3850 MILES ON CAR SET FOR DAY AFTER VACATION. I TOOK CAR IN TO TOYOTA. EXPLAINED PROBLEMS AND TOLD THEM TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH. THEY CAME BACK TO ME TELLING ME THERE IS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION.. I LEFT CAR AT HYANNIS TOYOTA EXPECTING TO RECEIVE CAR BACK THAT DAY. SERVICE REP CALLED ME AT 530 TELLING ME THAT SINCE THE DAY I DROVE OFF THE LOT THERE ARE 9 PAGES OF DEFAULTS. CLAIMING DRIVER ERRORS. FIRST IT'S A RECALL, BUT LATER IN DAY DRIVER ERROR. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS MY 5TH LEASE WITH THEM. I DO KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND ON CAPE COD IN SUMMER I SIT IN TRAFFIC MOST OF THE TIME . THE SITUATION WITH SLEET WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH ON LOCAL STREETS. THAT WAS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP THAT SENSORS ARE SENSITIVE AND DIRT,HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW CAN CAUSE ANTI CRASH SYSTEMS TO DEACTIVATE. AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN ENGINE OFF AND APON RESTART THE SYSTEM WILL REACTIVATE ITSELF.BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION SELF ACCLAIMED RECALL AND NOW CALLED DRIVER ERROR. WHEN YOU NEED ANTI CRASH SYSTEM,THE ODDS OF IT NOT WORKING ARE PRETTY GOOD AS EXPLAINED BY SERVICE REP. I JUST WANT MY CAN REPAIRED AND SAFE.THE DATE IS APPROX
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA OF SANTA CRUZ (4200 AUTO PLAZA DR, CAPITOLA, CA 95010, (831) 462-4200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOYBEAN WIRES WERE DAMAGED BY RODENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS SCHEDULED TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
TRANSMISSION JERKS AND CANT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. IF YOU COME TO A STOP THEN TRY TO CHANGE LANES THE TRANSMISSION CANT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. I ALMOST GOT INTO A CRASH BECAUSE OF IT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR GETS HURT!! ALSO THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEARS IT MAKES FOR A CRAP RIDE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS IN A 30-CAR GARAGE FACILITY, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL AND BOUNCED BACK APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET, STRIKING A NEARBY PARKING COLUMN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC ABS BECAME INOPERATIVE DURING THE FAILURE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED SEVERE BRUISING AND BLEEDING FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT ACROSS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CHEST. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH AND SENT AN ENGINEER ON NOVEMBER 14, 2018 TO REMOVE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FROM THE VEHICLE FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED WITH CASE NUMBER: 810130693. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,600.
HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH LIGHT/DARK ZONES WHEN FOCUSED FOR THE FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THERE IS LITTLE DIFFUSION OF LIGHT INTO THE UPPER{DARK} ZONE AND OBJECTS ABOVE THREE FEET OR SO ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AT 100 FEET. I RECENTLY PASSED A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ON THE ROAD SHOULDER, AND THE PERSON WAS ONLY VISIBLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN. STOP SIGNS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED, BUT THE POLES ARE. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK THE LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE SET TO THE DESIGN SPEC. I CONTACTED TOYOTA INC. AND WENT THROUGH THREE LAYERS OF PEOPLE TO BE TOLD THAT IT IS AS DESIGNED AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.
THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES IS HORRIBLE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT SPEEDS UP AND WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO GO MY RMP HITS ABOUT 4 BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. I SWARE OTHER CARS THINK I WANT TO RACE. I DID ADVICE THE SALES MEN WHEN HE ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CAR AND HE SAID BECAUSE OF A NEW MODLE OF TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE CAR SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT IS FINE ON THE HIGH WAY. I AM JUST DIAPPOINTED IN MY PURCHACE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT OF ALL 5 TOYOTAS IVE HAD THAT I WISH I WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I WAS FINE IN MY 2012 WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT.
THIS CAR HAS A VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO GO IN AND A VIBRATION OCCURS AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD A BIT. IN THESE CASES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HAS NEARLY HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES NOW. IN ADDITION TO THIS SHAKING THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS NEARLY STALLED ON ME AS WELL WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A ROUND-ABOUT IN WHICH I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE RIGHT AFTER. THIS RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS CAR AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR GETTING REAR-ENDED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I CAN TELL IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "NEUTRAL" AND COME TO A STOP, THE ISSUE NEVER HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 1500 MILES ON IT. THEY SPENT A DAY ON IT AND TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ONCE OR TWICE AFTER A LONG TEST-DRIVE. THEY'VE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NEW 2018 CAMRY'S THOUGH AS WELL, SO IT'S POSSIBLE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS. AFTER READING ONLINE, I CAN SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE RUNNING INTO THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM.
MY VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER A ROLLING STOP. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS WHEN I AM IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUTTER WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO JERKS QUITE OFTEN.
TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE DAY FIRST DAY I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR AND STALLS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING THE WAY IT SHOULD. ESPECIALLY DURING BUMPER/BUMPER TRAFFIC. AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR. TENDS TO UPSHIFT AND WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT MIGHT TAKE A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT GOES AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT A FEW SECONDS IS AN ETERNITY (ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES AND THERE IS A CAR COMING).
THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING A DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING CONDITION WITH REGARD TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, ESPECIALLY BAD ON A SUNNY DAY. NAMELY, THE SHINY CHROME DASH BOARD AIR VENTS ARE REFLECTED ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR. THE SAME PROBLEM IS SEEN BY THE DRIVER WHEN VIEWING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR.
HI I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER WITH 7,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW IT HAS ALMOST 8,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER 1 WEEK OF PURCHASE I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ENGINE BECAUSE I AM FEELING A LOSE OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AND NOT SMOOTH WHEN DRIVING ALSO IT IS NOISY WHEN YOU START THE CAR. ALSO WHEN AT A FULL STOP I CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE SHAKE AND WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND DRIVE AT 20 MPH YOU CAN FEEL THE PEDAL SHAKE. TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON DRIVE IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ON DRIVE IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ON NEUTRAL DRIVING BECAUSE OF HOW ROUGH IT IS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. I ALSO WENT TO THE DEALER FOR THIS MATTER BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH TOYOTA BECAUSE MANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE TOYOTAS AND THEY NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOOD BUT THE LACK OF PERFORMANCE HAS DISAPPOINTED ME BECAUSE TOYOTAS HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION AND NOW THEY ARE JUST GIVING THAT ALL UP JUST TO SAVE MONEY ON FIXING THIS ISSUE THAT'S WHAT I FEEL THAT THEY ARE DOING. THATS WHY I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA AND THERE ENGINEERING BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THEY PUT IN TOO MUCH FOR THE REDESIGNED PART BUT NOT THE PERFORMANCE PART.
RENTAL CAR, HEADLIGHTS FOCUSED TOO LOW. ALMOST WENT THROUGH TWO STOP SIGNS IN CA AS THE HEADLIGHTS NEVER SHINED ON THE SIGNS. IN MOTION ON A 30MPH STREET WITH MANY STOP SIGNS.
I TRIED TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HESITATED FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS BEFORE BEGINNING A VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION THAT PUT ME IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY ONCOMING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE, AND THE SECOND TIME I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WITH NO RESPONSE. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 3 MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING RIGHT...THE CAR CAN'T DECIDE WHEN TO ACCELERATE AND KEEPS JUMPING THROUGH...THIS HAPPENS FROM A STOP OR WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING..I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND CAR WAS "DECIDING" TO MOVE FORWARD OR NOT...IT CAN HAPPEN IN MOTION, STATIONARY, TURNING....I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING MY 7 MONTHS 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY....DEALER SOLUTION=NONE...THEY JUST SAY THE COMPUTER IS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING WHILE I HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT THE CAR...
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SETUP, THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
3 TIMES THE COLLISION PREVENTION STOP WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT THE HIGH WAY. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT ON TO FOR THE COLLISION PREVENTION SYSTEM TO WORK AGAIN. AND THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES GLITCH AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SHIFITS LIKE CRAZY. I FEEL IT SOMETIMES THAT CAR SOUNDS NOT RIGHT BECAUSE IT SHOULD SHIFT SMOOTHLY. AIR CONDITION WHEN IT ON COLD THE FAN CAN GIVE GOOD AIR STREEM WHICH IS GOOD BUT WHEN IT ON HEAT THE FAN IS SO SLOW AND IT DOESN'T GIVE GOOD AIR STREAMING. I WAS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO REPORT THIS TO GENERATE RECALL BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW UNTIL I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR 08/2018 WE ARE NOW IN 10/2018 I HAVE 3K MILES ON IT AND IT RIDES ROUGH, SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD CAR, LOUD RATTLY, IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORST TAKING THE CAR TODAY TO TOYOTA BENNETT IN ALLENTOWN PA TODAY BECAUSE WHEN MAKING COMPLETE STOPS AT A LIGHT IT JUMPS FORWARD, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, TRANSMISSION SEEMS CONFUSED IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO PICK UP FOR EXAMPLE WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND TRYING TO CATCH UP TO SPEED TAKES LONG, AT A STOP LIGHT ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES CAUSE THE CAR JUST WONT MOVE QUICK ENOUGH.
HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP.
BOTH SIDE VIEW MIRRORS PREVENT AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW BECAUSE OF INTERIOR SHINY METALLIC TRIM AROUND THE AC VENTS THAT REFLECT INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW OF BOTH SIDE VIEW MIRRORS
THE TIRE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE TIRE BLEW UP AND I WENT TO TOYOTA SERVICE THEY REFUSED TO MAKE REPORT TO THE FACTORY, BUT THE LADY REFUSED AND SAID TO ME THAT I HIT A BOT HOLE WHICH IS NOT TRUE THE TIRE BLEW UP BY ITS OWN, I ATTACHED THE PHOTO. I BELIEVE THAT'S A FACTORY PROBLEM AND TOYOTA ARE RESPONSIBLE TO CHECK THAT PROBLEM. I WAS ABOUT TO DIE. THANK GOD I WAS NEAR THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. THE ROAD IS THEIR AND THERE ARE NO BOTHOLES IT'S NEW BAVED ROAD.
CAR FRONT GRILL DESIGN IS SO POOR THAT DAMAGE CAUSED BY NORMAL ROAD DEBRIS ALREADY PUNCTURED MY AC CONDENSE LEAKING FREON / AC COOLANT TO RELEASE IN TO ENVIRONMENT /HARMING ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS INCREASING REPAIR COST. 2 TIMES IN LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE RELAPSED MY FRONT AC CONDENSER DUE TO STICK OF WOOD OR PEBBLE GOING THROUGH FRONT GRILL EASILY AND PUNCTURING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD ERRATICALLY DOWNSHIFT AND UP SHIFT, AND THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD REV VERY HIGH. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A SECOND VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (TOYOTA OF GRAND RAPIDS, 2555 28TH ST. SE, GRAND RAPIDS MI) AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, THE WINDOWS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WOULD FOG UP AND CREATE A VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.
"TAKATA RECALL" . I BOUGHT BRAND NEW TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2018 FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR TAXI IN NEW YORK CITY. I DRIVE IN NEW YORK CITY AND SOMETIME GO TO OUT OF TOWN UP TO 150 MILES. ON MY FIRST 10000 MILES MAINTENANCE , I TOLD THE DEALER THAT WHEN I DRIVE, CAR JERKING/BREAKING THE SPEED OR SAY HESITATION AFTER DRIVE FEW MILES. I FEEL SUDDENLY THE SPEED START IS JERKING/BREAKING THE SPEED FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK IN REGULAR SPEED. EVEN MY LEG IS AT THE ACCELERATE CONTINUES. ON MY COMPLAINT, THE DEALER TECHNIC DROVE THE CAR AND HE REPORTED THAT AT PRESENT TIME HE DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. I THINK, HE LIED. I DID REPORTED TO TOYOTA AND THEY OPEN THE CASE. THEY GOING TO CHECK ON MY NEXT MAINTENANCE. BECAUSE OF JERKING/BREAKING OR SAY HESITATION, I FEEL MIGHT CAR SUDDENLY STOP IN HIGHWAY OR ANY WHERE. I DROVE OVER 1500 DIFFERENT CARS IN LAST OVER 33 YEARS IN MY LIFE AND NEVER SEE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IN PAST. I DO SEE TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 HAVE LOT OF NEW FEATURE AND USE NEW TECHNIQUE BUT SOMEHOW THIS JERKING/BREAKING OR SAY HESITATIONS DURING DRIVING IN ANY SPEED NOT GOOD. NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND WHY THIS HAPPENED.
TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED. THE FRONT SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, THE FRONTAL AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH DELAYED ACCELERATION THAT IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR'S 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE SELECTING THE PROPER GEAR WHEN THE DRIVER NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AFTER DECELERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, IMAGINE DRIVING STEADY AT 40MPH BEFORE DECELERATING TO AN INTERSECTION FOR A TURN, MAKING THE TURN, THEN PRESSING THE GAS AGAIN TO ACCELERATE. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AGAIN TO ACCELERATE IN THIS SCENARIO, THE CAR STRUGGLES TO SELECT THE PROPER GEAR AFTER THE DOWNSHIFT FROM 40 MPH CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PAUSE (NO ACCELERATION) FOR 3 SECONDS BEFORE VERY ROUGHLY CYCLING THROUGH TWO OR THREE GEARS BEFORE THE PROPER GEAR IS SELECTED. BOTH MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCE THIS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND OFTEN FEEL VULNERABLE AND STUCK AS TRAFFIC MUST BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE THE CAMRY WILL NOT SIMPLY SELECT A GEAR AND MOVE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. ALSO, WHEN THE CAMRY FINALLY DOES MOVE, THERE IS NO PREDICTING HOW MUCH ACCELERATION THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE. THIS CAUSES SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH GETTING REAR-ENDED WHILE THE CAMRY WON'T ACCELERATE, AND ALSO SAFETY CONCERN FOR REAR-ENDING SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THE CAMRY UNPREDICTABLY ACCELERATES. THE TOYOTA DEALER HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS AND STATES IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES ARE THROWN. THE TOYOTA DEALER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 8-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS ARE NEW TO TOYOTA AND THEY HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THE TOYOTA SIENNA.
PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED WARNING OF PROBLEMS WITH PRE-COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM.
WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS AND IS STATIONARY, IT IDLES TOO HIGH OR IT STUDDERS WHILE IDLING. WHEN DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH TO 64 MPH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS FROM HIGH TOO LOW SPEEDS IT ALSO JERKS ABRUPTLY. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO LOWER SPEEDS AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE FROM REVERSE OR PARK TO REVERSE IT JERKS/JUMPS REALLY BADLY. SINCE OWNING THIS CAR, I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW NO MILES, A WHELL BARRING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL.
I HAD JUST EXITED A FREEWAY, AND WAS ENTERING THE SURFACE STREETS VIA A STOPLIGHT. AFTER TURNING ONTO THE SURFACE STREET, THE SIGNAL AHEAD TURNED RED. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING AT OR LESS THAN 20 M.P.H., BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND AS NORMAL. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AS NORMAL. INSTEAD, THE PEDAL DEPRESSED FURTHER THAN NORMAL, AND I FELT A HEAVY VIBRATION FEEDBACK THROUGH THE PEDAL. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 CAR LENGTHS FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND DEPRESSED THE PEDAL AS FAR AS I COULD PHYSICALLY MANAGE. AT THAT POINT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW, BUT SO GRADUALLY THAT I WAS CERTAIN TO COLLIDE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN STEERED TO THE RIGHT (I WAS IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE) TOWARD THE CURB OF THE SIDEWALK. THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WENT UP ON THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I PUT ON THE HAZARD SIGNAL, THEN WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED BEHIND ME, PULLED INTO A GAS STATION APPROXIMATELY 40 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I STEERED BACK ONTO THE ROADWAY AFTER INITIALLY STOPPING, THE STEERING FELT VERY LOOSE, AND I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS DRIVING ON ICE OR WITHOUT CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. ONCE IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I EXAMINED THE PEDALS FOR BLOCKAGE AND LOOKED FOR FLUID LEAKS, BUT FOUND NOTHING. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TESTED THE GAS AND BRAKES IN THE EMPTY PARKING AREA, AND EVERYTHING RESPONDED AS NORMAL. HOWEVER, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAS A TEAR IN THE SIDEWALL AND THE RIM IS LIGHTLY DAMAGED.
THIS IS THE SECOND WINDSHIELD I HAVE HAD SINCE BUYING MY CAR IN LATE MARCH 2018. EACH TIME THEY REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE WINDSHIELD IS SO THIN. AS I AM SITTING WAITING ON MY REPAIR. TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY'S ALSO COMES IN FOR THEIR 2ND WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS TO BE A SEVERE GLITCH IN THE MAKE OF THESE WINDSHIELDS AND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. PLEASE EVALUATE THIS IMMEDIATELY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THERE WAS ALSO A LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE, ABNORMAL SHIFTING, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE FILLED UP THE CABIN. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA GRAND RAPIDS (LOCATED AT 2555 28TH ST SE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI) WHERE THE FAILURES WERE CONFIRMED, BUT COULD NOT BE REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250.
I NOTICED MY BACK PASSENGER LEATHER SEAT BY THE DOOR IS TURNING WHITE AND THE LEATHER IS GETTING WARP. I'M ASSUMING MY DOOR IS OVER LAPPING THE SEAT WHEN SHUT.
WHILE DRIVING, REAR VIEW MIRROR VISIBILITY ON BOTH SIDES OBSTRUCTS CLEAR VIEW FOR THE LENGTH OF THE CAR TO THE DRIVER. THE INTERIOR CHROME ON THE DASHBOARD CAST A SHADOW ON THE MIRRORS. AT NIGHT, VISIBILITY IS FURTHER IMPAIRED BY THE LIGHTS FROM CARS BEHIND THE 2018 CAMRY, FURTHER COMPLICATING MATTERS. ISSUES REPORTED TO DEALER ON 8/1/18. DEALER DID NOT DETECT PROBLEM. SERVICE REP. AT DEALER SUGGESTED THAT "I COVER THE CHROME WITH VELVET STRIPES." I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTORY IN PLANO, CASE. #1808070542 TEXAS. ISSUES REVIEWED AGAIN BY ARLINGTON, TOYOTA JACKSONVILLE, FL. AS REQUESTED BY SERVICE REP. FROM TEXAS, ON 8/07/18. ONLY RECEIVED A DECISION MADE ON 8/20/18. NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT DECISION.
TAKATA RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR 8/20/2018, TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2018. AND MY CONCERN IS IF MY CAR IS ONE OF THE ENGINE PROBLEM AND OVERSIZED PISTOLS RECALL?
1. WHILE STATIONARY WITH FOOT ON BREAK THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL FORWARD REQUIRING MORE AND MORE BREAK PRESSURE. BRAKE PEDDLE WILL SLOWLY FADE TO FLOOR. 2. WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED 65 MPH ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES AFTER DECELERATION OR BREAKING THE ENGINE WILL RUNAWAY OVER 5,000 RPM CAUSE A LONG DELAY IN SPEAD INCREASE WHICH CAN BE CRUCIAL FOR MATCHING TRAFFIC FLOW. RESULT IS POTENTIAL FOR COLLISION FROM REAR. 3. THE TOYOTA ENTUNE / SCOUT GPS SYSTEM FAILS TO PROVIDE RELIABILITY AS A HANDSFREE OPERATION SYSTEM, IT CONSTANTAILY CRASHES, REQUIRING A VEHICLE STOP WITH ENGINE RESTART TO CLEAR FALT CONDITION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN DECELERATED AND THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE MOTOR REVVED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF GRAND RAPIDS (2555 28TH ST SE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512, (877) 703-5930) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW SOFTWARE PROGRAM UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 275.
SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT HESITATION. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE YOU COULD INADVERTENTLY PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER DRIVER AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT HARMS SOMEONE.
(HYBRID MOD) WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE IN MAY , THE RT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT(ODO 7,000). SEEMED TO BE NO REASON, IT JUST BLEW OUT. THEN IN JULY, AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE, THE LT REAR TIRE BLEW(ODO 12,000). ONCE AGAIN, NO REASON, JUST BLEW OUT. WE WE'RE TOLD BY FIRESTONE THAT THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED & I CAN NOT DO A WARRANTY CLAIM BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE TIRES FROM THEM, TOYOTA DID SO TOYOTA HAS TO DO THE CLAIM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THEY DO NOT WARRANTY TIRES, FIRESTONE DOES & I HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRSETONE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE STILL 2 MORE TIRES (ON THE FRONT) THAT COULD STILL BLOW OUT & CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KEEP THE TIRES TO SHOW THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OVERLY SENSITIVE. THE CAR THEN STARTED BRAKING (THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURE) WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES, PEOPLE, ANIMALS,ETC IN SIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, STRAIGHT ROADS, IN CURVES,SUNNY DAYS, RAINY DAYS,ETC. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DECIDES TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SAFETY SYSTEM WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. ALL THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COULD OFFER AS A SUGGESTION WAS TO TURN THAT FEATURE OFF! AS IF ALL THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, WHILE BACKING UP & COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP (BUT STILL IN REVERSE) THE CAR LUNGED BACK ANOTHER FOOT OR BETTER CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH A BASKETBALL POLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THAT, WHEN I PUMP FUEL NIW I HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE SO IT DOESN'T TOUCH OR LEAN AGAINST THE BOTTOM PART OF THE NECK HOLE. OTHERWISE, ANY FUEL YOU TRY TO PUT IN IT WILL FLOW RIGHT BACK OUT & RUN DOWN THE CAR TO THE GROUND. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED DEALER TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES & TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL LIKE ITHE VEHICLE IS SAFE AT THIS POINT. AFTER MONTHS OF RUN AROUND & NOT RETURNING MY CALLS, DEALER REFERRED ME TO TOYOTA TODAY.
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AND HESITATES. WHEN NEEDING TO MAKE A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE ROLLS SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES
I'VE HAD THIS 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE MAY 23, 2018 & I NOTICED NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING. I CONTACTED THE SALESMAN, THE SERVICE MANAGER, & THE SALES MANAGER & THEY ALL BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH, BUT TOLD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE WHICH IS A LIE. I LITERALLY HAVE TO MASH THE GAS DOWN HARD AND PRAY IT GOES. THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS TRANSMISSION & THEY WAY IT ACCELERATES. AT THIS MOMENT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DON'T CARE. I'M REALLY STRESSED & DISSATISFIED ABOUT HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS.
I BOUGHT 2018 CAMRY LE THE PROBLEM IS JERKEY SHIFTS FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND SOMETIMES IS DOSEN'T ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW DOWN IF YOU ARE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAN BE A BIG RISK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GO WHEN IT THE GAS AFTER A FEW SECONDS ITS KICKS AND GOES REALLY FAST AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW FAST IT WILL GO ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPER JURKEY IN CITY TRAFFIC. SOMETIME IF YOU PUT THE ACCELERATION IT DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD WE AND OTHER TIMES ITS ACCELERATION IS TOO FAST AND YOU CAN CRASH WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. ALSO THE GAS PEDAL IS REALLY STIFF AND IF YOU DRIVE FOR A LONG TIME YOUR FEET AND LEG GETS REALLY SORE FROM APPLYING SO MUCH PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS WOULD REFLECT THE INTERIOR VENTS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSENTHAL ACURA (623 FREDERICK RD, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879, (877) 300-4226), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
WHEN THE BRAKES ARE COLD ON MY 2018 CAMRY LE, THEY GRAB GOING FORWARD OR BACK REGARDLESS OF HOW CAREFULLY THEY ARE APPLIED. ON 10K MILE CHECK-UP THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE IT IS A COLD BRAKE PROBLEM. WILL MAKE COMPLAINT AGAIN AT 15K MILE CHECK AND GET IN WRITING THAT IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE CAR HESITATES FEELS LIKES THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OR THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AT SOME POINTS THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD CAUSING A WHIP LASH EFFECT, THE CAR NORMALS DOES THIS AT ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM 45 MILES PER HOUR UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. AT HIGHER SPEEDS SUCH AS 92 MILES PER HOUR TO BE EXACT THE CAR CONTINUES TO JUST HESITATE NON STOP AS IF IS STRUGGLING TO GO THAT SPEED?
AT AROUND 1,800 MILES, HEADLINER ABOVE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PILLAR BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY BUZZING LIKE A BEE, CAUSING DISTRACTED DRIVING, NOISE OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD SERVICE FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIMES. BUZZING NOISE MAY PERSIST FOR HOURS ON A LONG DRIVE. THE BUZZING CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE HEADLINER. AN ADDITIONAL NOISE BECAME EVIDENT SLIGHTLY LATER, THE GLOVE BOX BEGAN MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE. THE VIBRATING SOUND CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. MOST RECENTLY, THERE IS A VIBRATING NOISE COME FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER PILLAR AIR BAG LOCATIONS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS.
TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR VENTS WERE VISIBLE IN THE SIDE REAR MIRRORS. ALSO, THE PARK BRAKE PEDAL IS POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. *JS
TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND AND SUNROOF BLEW OUT. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5:30AM. GLASS FLEW THROUGH THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND CAUSED MINOR CUTS ON DRIVER'S HEAD AND ARMS.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL IS SET ON, AND A LEADING VEHICLE IS ENGAGED BY THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL, IF THE LEADING VEHICLE TURNS OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING REAR-ENDED WHEN THERE ARE FOLLOWING VEHICLES. HAPPENS UNDER ALL ROAD CONDITIONS AND IN ALL WEATHER.
THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY AND UNDER 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR HESITATES AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IF WILL FINALLY GO WITH A JERKING TO THE PASSENGERS. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO LACK THE POWER TO PASS ANYONE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE ALSO. WHEN MOVING INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THE CAR WOULD ALSO FEEL AS IF IT WERE JERKING INTO GEARS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON COLD STARTS BUT WAS DEFINITELY STILL A PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING AND HAVING TIME TO WARM UP.
AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES VERY POOR AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL IT WOULD DROP SPEED FOR NO REASON.
MY BRAKES GRAB AND JERK AT LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M BACKING UP OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE AND THE ISSUE IS NORMAL. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. I NOTICED VIA AN ONLINE SEARCH; THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO REMEDY OFFERED FROM TOYOTA.
THE WIPER'S TOP SPEED IS INSUFFICIENT TO ADEQUATELY CLEAR EVEN A MODERATE RAINFALL AT 35 MPH AND ABOVE
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, SYSTEM STAYS ON SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IN BLIND SPOT PASSES AWAY, ALERT STILL STAYS ON CREATING CONFUSION AND POTENTIAL HAZARD DURING LANE CHANGING. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO PROOF OF THE SAME.
VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO PICK AND WHEN TO ENGAGE IT RESULTING IN A SECOND OR TWO OF DEAD ACCELERATION. ONCE VEHICLE DECIDES WHAT TO DO, IT SENDS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RATES. THIS MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING FOR A YIELD AND THEN GOING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL, MOST LIKELY DUE TO POOR TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS FIRST BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2017....HAS NEARLY 8000 MILES AS OF JULY 18 AND STILL AN ISSUE.
I BOUGHT A 2018 TOYOYA CAMRY SE IN APRIL AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. THE ETUNE RADIO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH MY PHONE. I HAVE TO RECONNECT MY PHONE TO THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING TO GET MY MUSIC TO PLAY AFTER A PHONE CALL. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T COOL PROPERLY, AT TIMES I HAVE TO SET IT ON "LOW" IN ORDER TO GET IT TO COOL. OTHER TIMES, I CAN HAVE IT SET ON 80 AND IT COOLS. WHEN I PARK MY CAR AND GET OUT, I CAN SMELL RADIATOR FLUID. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T' WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR TAKES OFF SMOOTH, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. THERE IS A GAP IN TIME BETWEEN ME PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TAKING OFF.
COLLISION DETECTION ENGAGES WHEN NO ONE CLOSE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. OUR 2018 CAMRY ENGAGED THE COLLISION DETECTION AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON I-85 IN ATLANTA AND ABOUT WRECKED US. NO ONE WAS EVEN CLOSE TO THE FRONT THE VEHICLE OR STOPPING OR STOPPED AND IT LOCKED THE BRAKES UP SOLID FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS. THE VEHICLES BEHIND US ALMOST REAR ENDED US FROM IT ENGAGING WITHOUT WARNING. IT SCARED THE LIVING PISS OUT MY WIFE AND I. WE WONT EVEN DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE ANY MORE OR CLOSELY FOLLOW SOMEONE. THE VEHICLE NEEDS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN IT. I'M JUST REPORTING IT NOW BECAUSE I BEEN GIVEN THIS WEBSITE BY A LAWYER.
4-CYLINDER XSE HAS SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAY AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL; THIS IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. OCCASIONALLY, THE GEAR WILL ALSO SHIFT ABRUPTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 15-25 MPH, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS; IF THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE OF CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT.
THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION/SPEED PROBLEMS. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ACCELERATE WHEN CHANGING LANES, PASSING OTHER VEHICLE, OR ENTERING FREEWAY. THIS ISSUE IS GOING ON ALL AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR ONE MONTH AGO. THIS IS MY 5TH CAMRY AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. CAR IS UNSAFE AND IM SCARED TO DRIVE. TOYOTA, DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!!!!!!!!. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED COUPLE OF TIMES
2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEMS. THIS INVOLVES A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTING THAT I HAVE FOUND ON 3 OCCASIONS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. UPON COMPLETING A TURN AND REAPPLYING GAS PEDAL THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN NEUTRAL OR STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD A DEAD GAS PEDAL FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS. ON 1 OCCASION I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE LEMON LAW COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE INVOLVING THIS CAR AND IT'S TRANSMISSION.
I OVERALL LOVE MY NEW CAMRY XSE EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS: 1-THE FEEDBACK ON THE HANDS FREE PHONE IS SO BAD NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME HANDS FREE EXCEPT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A HORRIBLE ECHO THAT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE PERSON CALLING ME TO HEAR ME. THEY STATE ALL THEY CAN HEAR PRIMARILY IS THE ECHO OF THEIR OWN VOICE. WHEN AN ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM-WHICH IS MEANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING-THAT YOU NEVER USE IT, IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM ALMOST EVERYONE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. 2-ABOUT 1 OUT OF 20 TIMES I GET A CALL, IT COMES THROUGH WITH A VERY STRANGE RINGING SOUND THAT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I STOP THE CAR & TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN ATTACH A VIDEO HERE BUT I DO HAVE IT) AND I ALSO CANNOT ANSWER THE CALL AT ALL-IT WILL RING NONSTOP FOR OVER 30 MINUTES IF I DON'T PULL OVER AND STOP/RESTART MY CAR. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING CONSIDERING THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR, I DIDN'T EXCEPT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, AN ABNORMAL THUMPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER MOTORIST ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CENTRAL TOYOTA (11020 SOUTH ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK PLASTIC SHIELD AND THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FIRST 5000 MI SERVICE HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. CAR CURRENTLY HAS ~8K MILES AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. (1) FIRST GEAR DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY TO SECOND. CAR JOLTS DURING THIS SHIFT. ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, BUT CAN BE REPRODUCED EVEN WHEN IT IS WARMED UP. (2) TRANSMISSION TAKES A LONG TIME TO DOWNSHIFT AFTER ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. SEEMS TO BE VERY CONFUSED IN PICKING THE RIGHT GEAR. (3) TRANSMISSION IS TOO EAGER TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN ACCELERATOR IS NOT PRESSED AND CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. THIS RESULTS IN ROUGH JOLTS AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN OR BRAKING.
NEW 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 458 MILES, 4 CYLINDER/8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 1ST AND 3RD GEARS. ALSO, DYNAMIC BRAKING SUPPORT PUT ME IN A DEAD STOP AS I WAS TRYING TO DEPART THE LANE TO AVOID A FRONT AND REAR END COLLISION. I HAD ALREADY APPLIED ENOUGH MANUAL BRAKE BUT WANTED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE OUT OF THE LANE TO CREATE SPACE. THIS AUTOMATIC DEAD STOP DUE TO THE DYNAMIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS A SCARY SURPRISE THAT NEARLY CAUSED A PILE UP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THESE ISSUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V200000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER TWO WEEKS AGO. THE DEALER (BAY RIDGE TOYOTA, 6401 6TH AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11220) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
THIS CAR ONLY HAS 120 MILES ON IT, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A LONG DEAD ZONE IN THE ACCELERATOR LEADING TO POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO BEGIN MOVING. ONCE MOVING, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF VARIOUS GEARS, AND THE CAR CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO USE. IT ALSO SLAMS IN AND OUT OF SOME GEARS WITH NO CONSISTENCY. IT SEEMS LIKE A PROGRAM ISSUE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED VERY SOON OR THIS TRANSMISSION MAY NOT LAST 10-20K MILES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS VERY ROUGHLY AND THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYDAY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THREE MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAYTONA TOYOTA (451 N NOVA ROAD ,DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA 32114) TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UNABLE TO BE ENGAGED DUE TO THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM. WHILE ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE PRE-COLLISION INDICATORS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNNYSIDE TOYOTA (27000 LORAIN RD, NORTH OLMSTED, OH 44070) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED ON A TEST DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE PRE-COLLISON SYSTEM WAS RESET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TT *TR BRAKING ASSIST,ANTI BRAKING, ENGINE, ELECTONIC WARNING SYSTEM AND MORE. UPDATED 9/21/18*JB
TRANSMISSION IS FEELING VERY JERKY AFTER 5000 MILES. HOLDING ON TO LOW GEARS WAY TOO LONG. I'M DOING 40 MPH AND THE RPM IS OVER 3500. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO KEEP MISSING GEARS. CONSTANTLY DOWNSHIFTING. MILEAGE HAS SURPRISINGLY GONE DOWN. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IM DOING 65+ ITS STRUGGLING TO FIND GEARS AND KEEPS DOWNSHIFTING.
WHEN THE CAR IN THE LOW SPEED AROUND 20 MILES/HOUR AND THE ENGINE AROUND 2000RPM, THE TRANSMISSION IS WIRED TRYING TO FIND SPECIFIED GEAR, MAKE THE CAR SPEED INCREASED AND DECREASED, IT LIKE JERK THE CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU TRYING TO SPEED UP CATCH UP CARS SPEED FROM LOWER SPEED ON HIGHWAY, PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR JUST LIKE THINKING THE LIFE PHILOSOPHY THE RPM REACH 4000 THE CAR SUDDENLY SPEED UP.
THE CAR KEEPS JUMPING FORWARD, IT CAN'T DECIDE WHEN IT WANTS TO SHIFT UP. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, OR DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR TAKES OVER 5 SECONDS TO REALLY 'TAKE' AND REALIZE YOU ARE PUSHING ON THE GAS. ALL IT DOES IS REV, A LOT.
2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BAD TRANSMISSION SINCE THE 1 ST WEEK OF HAVING THIS CAR IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR SOMETIMES, IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WEATHER TO GO OR NOT IT JERKS LIKE IT CANT FIND WHICH GEAR TO GO INTO THE CAR IS REALLY BAD AND I CANT SEEM TO GET ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING MAYBE THE CAR NEEDS TO GET USE TO MY DRIVING. THEY TOLD ME ITS A 4 CYLINDER THAT'S HOW THEY DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD DRIVE IT MANUAL MODE. IM JUST FED UP .
WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY ON MAY 15, 2018, MY DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AS WELL AS A WARNING LIGHT, A LIGHT DEPICTING TWO VEHICLES COLLIDING AND THE MESSAGE "VISIT YOUR DEALER". I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON 2015 MODEL TOYOTAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER, HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR 2018 TOYOTAS OR HAS A RECALL BEEN RELEASED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD, PURCHASING IT IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE RECALL FOR THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND NOW THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM HAS APPARENTLY MALFUNCTIONED. MY TOYOTA DEALER REFUSES TO ISSUE ME A LOANER VEHICLE SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED I ALLOW AN HOUR AND A HALF TO CONDUCT. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY SO I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS A USED CAR COULD CREATE HOWEVER I AM CURRENTLY REGRETTING THE DECISION OF PURCHASING A TOYOTA AS IT WILL NOW HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR ISSUES BEYOND MY DOING OR CONTROL BUT CONTINUES TO CREATE AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME FINANCIALLY AS IT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS.
EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE IN DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH. [XXX] IS KNOWN FOR THIS AND DIDN'T EXPECT TOYOTA HAD THE SAME ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AT THE SAME TIME(ABS,PRECOLLISION WARNING, ENGINE LIGHT,ETC.) MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE TOYOTA SERVICE REP ADVISES ME THAT THE ENGINE WIRES HAVE BEEN CHEWED BY RODENTS. HE ALSO ADVISES ME THAT THIS IS NOT A TOYOTA PROBLEM SO MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. HE ADVISED MY AUTO INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE PROBLEM IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. THEY HAVE STARTED USING PLANT-BASED MATERIAL TO COVER THE WIRING WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL OF CAR. ALSO, THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HARDLY KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD AFTER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T HAVE ANY PAPERWORK YET, BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.
THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS HAVING A PROBLEM SHIFTING AND ALLOWING THE CAR TO INCREASE SPEED. THE CAR CONSTANTLY JERKS WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE SITTING IT STILL JERKS. IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS MISSING A SHIFT OR SOMETHING.
CAR IS HESITATING/SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP/ROLLING STOP. TAKES FOREVER TO GET TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THERE IS TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, CHANGING LANES INTO A LANE IN WHICH TRAFFIC IS GOING FASTER IS EXTREMELY HARD DUE TO FEAR BEING REAR-ENDED. CAR STRUGGLES TO GET FROM 0-45 AND WILL ONLY DO SO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS STEPPED DOWN ALL THE WAY. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE VERY JERKY. SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN 90% OF THE TIME. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE IN ONLY THE 4 CYLINDER MODEL OF THE 2018 CAMRYS.
WATER GOING TO ENGINE BAY WHEN DRIVING IN RAINING WEATHER.
WATER AND DIRT LEAKING INTO ENGINE CABIN!
AFTER DAYS HARD RAIN LAST WEEK ON THE ROAD EVIDENCE WATER AND DIRT MARKS CAME FROM PASSENGER SIDE FENDER TO ENGINE BAY. TOYOTA MUST FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE CORROSION AND ENGINE ELECTRICAL SHORT ! THERE ARE POSTS FROM OTHER TOYOTA FORUM: (HTTP://WWW.TOYOTANATION.COM/FORUM/802-CAMRY-8TH-GENERATION-2018/1597922-WATER-DIRT-LEAKING-INTO-ENGINE-CABIN-FRONT-WHEELS.HTML) HTTPS://WWW.AUTOHOME.COM.CN/USER/201804/915221.HTML#PVAREAID=101356
THE FENDER IN THE ENGINE BAY IS NOT COMPLETELY SEALED. WATER IS WELLING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS INTO THE ENGINE BAY THROUGH THE OPENING OF THE FENDER. THE TOP COVER OF FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS IN THE ENGINE BAY IS NOT SEALED EITHER. EVIDENT WATER IS WELLING THROUGH THERE, TOO. I'M NOT DRIVING ON ANY DIRTY ROAD. JUST REALLY COMMON HIGHWAY TO AND BACK FROM WORK, 20 MINUTES' DRIVE. YES IT RAINS, BUT NEVER CAUSE ANY PROBLEM ON THE ROAD. IT'S MAKING THE ENGINE BAY DIRTY. ALSO, IT COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE, OR SHORTCUT ANY WIRE. IT COULD BE NORMAL TO GET DIRTY, BUT THIS POOR DESIGN IS NO GOOD. THE FENDER SHOULD BE SEALED TO RESIST WATER. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED FENDER. WE HAVE A POST ON TOYOTA NATION FORUM. IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM TO ALL 8TH GENERATION CAMRY. ANYONE, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. IT HAS VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING. I'VE VISITED THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY JUST SAID 'IT'S NORMAL TO GET WATER IN FROM THE BOTTOM'. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BOTTOM. WE GOT NEWS, THAT IN CHINA, TOYOTA HAS ALREADY OFFERED A FREE PATCHWORK TO ALL 8TH GENERATION CAMRY, TO SEAL THE OPENINGS. THE 2018 CAMRY MODEL IS UNIVERSAL THE SAME, SAME DESIGN, SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE WE COULD GET THE SAME PATCHWORK. THEY HAVE TO FIX THEIR POOR DESIGN.
DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL & PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM FAILURE DURING RAIN. ON APRIL 7TH, 2018 WHILE DRIVING IN LIGHT RAIN ON I95-S IN SOUTH CAROLINA @ 65-70MPH MY CRUISE CONTROL AND PRE-COLLISION SYSTEMS STOPPED WORKING, 2 LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE LEFT SIDE DRIVING CONSOLE AND AN ERROR MESSAGE READING "CLEAN SENSOR" DYNAMIC CRUISE FAILURE. I PULLED INTO THE NEXT REST AREA AND TURNED OFF CAR, "GOOGLED" WHERE THE SENSOR IS, BEHIND THE TOYOTA EMBLEM ON FROM OF CAR. INSPECTED IT, IT WAS CLEAN ON THE OUTSIDE OTHER THAN BEING WET FROM RAIN. I "POPPED" THE HOOD, I COULD NOT SEE ANY DIRTINESS EITHER. I THEN STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I WAS UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND IT WAS STILL LIGHTLY RAINING THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD TO DRIVE OVER 250 MILES WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL NOR PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM. WHEN IT STOPPED RAINING SEVERAL HOURS LATER AND THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS NO RAIN AS WELL IN HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC THE PROBLEM NEVER REOCCURRED.
THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 2018 XSE V6 IS JUNK. IT IS JERKY ON ACCELERATION (LIKE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE SHIFTS ARE HARD, AND CLUNKY. EVEN WORSE WHEN COLD. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST HAPPENS WITH A HUGE THUD. HAD DEALER TAKE A LOOK AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AFTER HOOKING IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTERS. PRETTY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THIS BRAND NEW CAR DRIVES. MAJOR HESITATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING. CAUSES ENTIRE CAR TO JERK UNTIL THE MOTOR SMOOTHS OUT. THIS LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER FOR OVER 30 YEARS IS STRONGLY THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING BRANDS. 5K MILES ON CAR.
THE POWERTRAIN IS VERY ROUGH AT LOW SPEED. WHEN PEDAL IS PUMPED SLOWLY THE GEAR CHANGES WITH A THUD AND JERKING. THIS FEELS WORSE THAN A MANUAL GEAR CAR. THE CAR DROVE AROUND 7500MILES. COMPLAINT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED IT MAY BE DUE TO CAR COMPUTER ISSUE.
I LEASED A LOW END CAMRY 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM ABOUT 20 TIMES. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP USUALLY ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE FROM THE 600 VALUE AT IDLE TO ABOUT 2200. THIS OCCURS IN A SPEED RANGE OF 0 TO 5 MPH. FORTUNATELY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED AND GENERALLY AM NOT CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I AM ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR WITH THE FOOT BRAKE BUT GENERALLY NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE TO ELIMINATE THE HIGH RPM AND WHEN RESTARTING ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERS 3 TIMES AND ALL IS "WELL" BASED ON THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. I SUSPECT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER BUT THAT FALLS ON DEAF EARS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RETRACT AND THE PRE-COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: AU0000000358273. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,600.
I WAS FOLLOWING THE CAR'S BUILT-IN NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND AS I GOT WITHIN ABOUT A MILE OF THE DESTINATION ADDRESS, IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DISPLAY DISAPPEARED. I USED MY SMART PHONE MAP TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT DISTRACTED, I BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD IF I HAD BEEN IN AN UNFAMILIAR AREA HAVING MY NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS AND MAP SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR
2018 CAMRY XSE V6 - IF THE CAR IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP AND YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IS VERY ROUGH. IT IS MORE PRONOUNCED IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING UP A HILL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THE ROUGH 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT BEFORE THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP IS TO APPLY EXCESSIVE THROTTLE.
WIND NOISE FROM THE SIDE WINDOWS WHEN DRIVING
MY CAR REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE GOT FLAT AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAS BUBBLE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 2500MILES ON IT.
I PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2018 CAMRY SE NOVEMBER 2017 ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED THE CAR SHIFTS INTO GEAR ROUGHLY AND JERKS A LOT WHEN DRIVING SIMILAR TO DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR SO I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THE CAR ONLY TO GET THE RUNAROUND ABOUT WHO TO TALK TO FINALLY WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THEY CHECKED ALL 20 SOMETHING COMPUTERS ON THE CAR AND SAID THEY SAW NO ERRORS BEING REPORTED WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE NOTHING SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING SO I TRIED A DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALER LEFT THE CAR ALL DAY THEY CHECKED SYSTEMS SAID IT WAS UPDATED AND THAT I PROBABLY NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE SO IT CAN GET ACCLIMATED WITH MY DRIVING SO I HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING HESITATION WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, REVS UP PRETTY HIGH BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS, HARD SHIFTS INTO GEARS, AND JERKING EXCESSIVELY THIS CAR SO FAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE IM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH MY NEW CAR PURCHASE
I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW. THE FIRST MONTH I NOTICED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THIS NEW VEHICLE ACCELERATES. WHEN STOPPED AND STARTING MOVEMENT AGAIN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKS AND DOES NOT SPEED UP RIGHT AWAY. THE JERKING PART IS MY MAIN SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED OTHER TOYOTA MODELS AND NO OTHER MODEL HAS DONE THIS. I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL REAR END MY DUE TO THE SUDDEN JERKING AND THEN DELAYED RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS ESPECIALLY DISTRESSING AT INTERSECTION LIGHTS, OFF RAMPS, AND STOP SIGNS. ANYWHERE REQUIRED TO STOP OR SLOW MOVEMENT AND THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AT A MODERATE PACE. SOMETHING JUST IS NOT RIGHT.
THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION/SPEED PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS ONLY 200 MILES, TOOK IT IN TE HIGHWAY AND TAKES TOO LONG TO REACH HIGHWAY SPEED. IT RARELY REACHES AND STAYS AT LOWER SPEED. LIKE OTHERS IT SEEMS THIS CAMRY WILL HAVE A LOT REAR-END ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF SPEED PERFORMANCE. I FEEL SCARE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, TOO DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANES, TOO DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. IF CARS ARE APPROACHING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND YOU ARE CHANGING LINES YOU MORE THAN LIKELY WILL END UP REAR- END. IT TOOK ME TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO COMPLETE A 1 HOUR TRIP DUE TO LACK OF SPEED, CAR NOT RESPONDING AND FEAR OF GETTING REAR-END BY OTHER CARS WHO WERE HURNING BECAUSE CAR WOULDN'T SPEED UP. CAR IS TOO UNSAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA. WORST CAR EVER.
VEHICLE HAD AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING INCIDENT RELATED TO THE FACTORY SAFETY SYSTEMS WHICH CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE. OF CONCERN IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO READ THE EDR, THERE WAS NO RECORDED EVENT THEREFORE THEY ARE DENYING THAT AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING EVENT OCCURRED. I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DOWNLOADED THE DATA HOWEVER THEY LEFT A THUMB DRIVE IN THE CAR WHICH ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS THE DATA THEY PULLED FROM THE CAR. WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS ON THE TRACK OF AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH BEING PUSHED ALONG BY ROLLERS UNDER THE WHEELS WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THE SPEED WAS LIKELY 2-3 MPH. WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WENT UNDER A CURTAIN OF SWAYING CLOTH STRIPS, ALARMS WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE, LARGE ILLUMINATED LETTERS THAT SAID BRAKE APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY, IT BRAKED BY ITSELF CAUSING IT TO COME OFF OF THE TRACK ROLLERS AND THE CONVEYER PULLED THE VEHICLE BEHIND INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE OWNERS MANUAL LISTS AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AS A SITUATION WHEN THE SYSTEM MAY ACTIVATE (ALONG WITH PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, GOING UNDER HIGHWAY SIGNS AND ABOUT 20 OTHER COMMON EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE ONE WOULD BE UNABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEMS PRIOR TO THE SITUATION). THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT TELL YOU TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM WHEN IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. TOYOTA DENIES ANY LIABILITY DUE TO THE EDR NOT RECORDING THE EVENT ALTHOUGH THEY IDENTIFIED THAT IT WOULD AND SHOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED. THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EDR RECORDING PROPERLY IF IT IS NOT RECORDING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THE DATA ON THE THUMB DRIVE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED WHEN THE CLAIM WAS FILED THAT TOYOTA HAS A UNIT DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING, SAME AS THEY DO FOR THE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THEIR VEHICLES EXPERIENCED SO CLEARLY THEY ARE AWARE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR
THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS WHEN THE LOWER FORWARD TRANSMISSION GEAR ENGAGES WHEN ACCELERATING ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS A THUD THAT GIVES THE DRIVER THE IMPRESSION THE CAMRY TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL SHOULD THE DRIVER CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
HESITATION/LAGGING ISSUES AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS- HESITATES BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION - SHIFTS ARE HORRIBLE THE CAR JERKS A LOT- IN CRUISE CONTROL GOING 70-75 MPH JERKS HARD, WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF IT. ACCELERATION IS HORRIBLE SO MUCH SO, THAT WE ALMOST GET REAR ENDED WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. THIS STARTED A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THIS IN JULY- JAN 13 WE WERE ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TO CAR NOT ACCELERATING AND JERKING
LANE SENSORS NOT WORKING. THESE SENSORS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP YOU IN YOUR LANE FOR SAFETY. I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS GOING OVER CENTER LINE BECAUSE SENSOR NOT WORKING. NOT HAVING SENSORS THAT WORK COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
TAKATA RECALL THE FRONT AXLE BREAKS WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET (NOT TURNING BUT THE STEERING WHEEL IS SLIGHTLY RIGHT) WITH A SPEED OF ABOUT 25-30 MPH AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT OFF THE VEHICLE WITH BOTH RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR TIRES BURST. NOT SURE IF THE CAR HITS THE CURB FIRST OR THE AXLE OR FLAT TIRE HAPPENED FIRST.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARCARS 355 TOYOTA ROCKVILLE (15625 FREDERICK RD, ROCKVILLE, MD 20855 (301) 340-0900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE INSULATION AND WIRING, WHICH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT A SOY-BASED PRODUCT WAS USED IN MAKING THE INSULATION AND WIRING, WHICH COULD ATTRACT RODENTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ABOUT I MONTH A GO THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 5 MPH AND THEN HIT THE GAS TO GO AGAIN THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED SUPER SLOWLY AND IT I HIT THE ACCELERATOR HARD THE TRANSMISSION JERKS REALLY HARD ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING ME FROM THE BACK , I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THEY KEEP SAYING THE CAR IS JUST FINE . WORST CHOICE EVER IAM NEVER BUYING TOYOTA AGAIN I DROVE A 2015 CAMRY MUCH BETTER THEN THE [XXX] 2018 CAMRY THEY SAID IT'S BETTER BUT I SAY IT'S CHEAPER AND PROBABLY WON'T BE AS RELIABLE AS IT'S OLDER VERSION.. IT SUCK TO DRIVE IN THE CITY , ALSO THE ENGINE IS SUPER LOUD . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE AT THE TOP PART OF THE TAIL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (BOCH TOYOTA IN NORWOOD, MA, 781-769-8100) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNUSUAL AND THE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN CALLED THE CONTACT BACK LATER AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRIMMING AROUND THE DASHBOARD REFLECTED ONTO THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS, CAUSING A DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A DESIGN ISSUE AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4. *TT UPDATED 8/9/18*JB
VEHICLE GAS THROTTLE RESPONSE WOULD HESITATE WOULD BE A LAG OF FEW SECONDS FOR VEHICLE TO PICK UP SPEED SLOW THROTTLE RESPONSE, ALSO I TOTALED MY VEHICLE DUE BRAKES MALFUNCTION ALSO VEHICLE BRAKE ASSYST DID NOT ASSYST ME IN ANY WAY OR PREVENTED ME FROM ACCIDENT I WAS TRAVLING 35 TO 55MPH IN TRAFFIC STOP AND GO SLOW LANE
I CAN FIND MY TRIM CAR , AND TYPE BODY MY CAR
WHEN I'M TAKING OFF IT TAKES A FEWS SECONDS BEFORE IT CATCHES SPEED. EVEN IF I'M PUSHING DOWN PRETTY MUCH ON THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IT TAKES A WHILE BEFORE IT CATCHES SPEED. CARS BEHIND ME START PASSING ME. ALSO, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHEN I'M MERGING INTO THE FREEWAY AND I'M TRYING TO CATCH SPEED IT WONT SPEED UP UNTIL A FEW SECONDS SO I GET NEVER THAT I'M TOO FAR IN AND A CAR BEHIND ME MIGHT HIT ME BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CATCH SPEED RIGHT AWAY AND ONCE IT CATCHES SPEED IT GOES EXTREMELY FAST BECAUSE I'M PUSHING SO FAR DOWN ON THE PEDAL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CATCH IT RIGHT AWAY. I'VE GOTTEN SCARED OF FEW TIMES. I REALLY THINK SOMETHING DEFECTED WITH THIS CAR. AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE BODY OF THE CAR, THE SPEED CONTROL IS A REAL PROBLEM. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. IT'S WHEN I'M STOPPED AND ON THE FREEWAY.
▸ Head gasket failure and engine overheating — EGR cooler failure is the leading cause of catastrophic engine failure on diesel engines
▸ Engine stalling at speed — fuel delivery failure can cause sudden loss of power in traffic or on highways
▸ Loss of brake assist and ABS in emergency — can significantly extend stopping distances
