2018 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

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

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.

1. ON ENTERING FREEWAY, CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR, & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY. THEN SEEMED TO ENGAGE, ACCELERATING. 2. ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL BECAME SPONGY, CAR COASTED FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET, THEN PEDAL ENGAGED, CAR ACCELERATED. OCCURRED THREE, 3, TIMES, DIFFERENT TRIPS. 3. ON TURNING RIGHT, ON CITY STREET, ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AS THO IT WOULD STALL. WORKED ITSELF OUT AND CONTINUED W/O FURTHER TROUBLE. 4. ON TWO OCCASIONS, ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY WHEN TURNING IT ON IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WEATHER WAS WARM, NOT A FACTOR. RAN SMOOTHLY AFTER A BLOCK. GAS PEDAL AGAIN FELT SPONGY WHILE CAR RAN ROUGH. DEALER HAS STATED THAT (1) "TRY USING NAME BRAND GAS" (TRIED; NO CHANGE), (2) FOR PROBS 1 & 2 ABOVE, "IT MUST BE THE NEW TRANSMISSION." NOW RECEIVED FUEL PUMP RECALL NOTICE, BUT TOYOTA HAS "NO REMEDY AVAILABLE"?! THIS IS UNSAFE - PEASE HELP!!

THE CAR JERKS WHEN I DO NOT ACCELERATE, WHILE MAKING A TURN, AFTER STOPPIJNG AT A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN.

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HIT A POTHOLE ON INTERSTATE 75 AND BENTED THE FRONT RIGHT RIM. CANNOT BALANCE THE TIRE WITHOUT A NEW RIM.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

2018 TOYOTA CAMRY XSE. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERN TO A SAFETY HAZARD REGARDING UNEXPECTED SUDDEN BRAKING WITH VEHICLE. *AS *TR

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.

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

Vehicle was involved in a rear-end collision. Vehicle did not brake before impact manually neither did the brake assist activate. There were no signs of braking assist malfunctioning. Vehicle caught fire upon impact and not available for inspection. Vehicle given to insurance company and settled. Injury to driver of vehicle in question. Driver of vehicle hit and went to ER by ambulance. There is a report filed of accident.

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!

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

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds with the cruise control activated, the cruise control system would erroneously deactivate causing the vehicle speed to suddenly decelerate. Also, on several occasions, while driving the anti-collision system would erroneously activate causing the vehicle to abruptly stop although no other vehicles or objects were nearby. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

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

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.
