This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

The car started jerking and the RPMs heratic while driving but would not advance pressing the accelerator on the freeway could have crashed or been involved in a major accident on the freeway was able to move out in time because pressing the accelerator did not work not did it move the car it completely lost power once on the side of road try reversing and noting happened could not drive or reverse completely dead on the side of the road without warning no lights came on the transmission no longer functions happened 4-18-2026 is being towed turns on but can't drive out move only wining noise
The most definite sign is when you press the button and three doors lock, but one doesn't. Strange Noises: You may hear a buzzing, grinding, or clicking sound from inside the door when you try to use the power locks. This sound like a small motor inside the actuator struggling to work and causing the alarm not to armed the vehicle. Intermittent Operation: The lock might work one day and not the next, or it may be slow to respond. But is now happening everyday now.
The back up camera is going black when I go in reverse but sometimes it works.
The 2019 model year UA80 transmission abruptly failed while driving at under 88,000 miles, just a bit beyond the warranty period. I have to sell the car as is and take a $10,000 loss because of this defect by Toyota. My mechanic has photos and will document all the details. My safety was absolutely at risk when the vehicle abruptly stopped on the road while driving during a major rain storm but luckily nothing bad happened. Thankfully I was on a local surface street and not the freeway or a busy intersection. I was towed to my mechanic that has been servicing my vehicle since 2021. My mechanic did a thorough inspection and determined the transmission had failed. He also confirmed this is a chronic problem with several make and model years for several Toyota and Lexus vehicles that use the UA80 transmission. I also learned several class action lawsuits against Toyota were recently filed. There was really no warning other than it ran a little rough in the morning 2 days prior to the car stopping abruptly on the road. This was just a week or so after being with my mechanic for regular service. There are no replacement UA80 units available from Toyota, they are on back order due to all the failures, so my only option is to walk away and take a huge loss or spend $9,000 on a used unit that will ultimately have the same issue. I am probably going to sell at a loss and get a different vehicle.
Transmission shifting issues even with regular fluid changes. Struggles to find gear and occasional slip especially when its colder outside. Seems to be a widespread issue that needs to be addressed.
My 2019 Toyota Camry LE has just started about 2 weeks ago. My windshield wipers go on by itself. I have seen a recall on this exact point but now can't find it now. A short somewhere.
vehicle started making a nasty whining noise. Talked to Toyota, they stated it was normal. ive kept up on the transmission service as noted, and performed all said services before they were due, vehicle just rolled over to 108k and the whining noise got louder, and now the transmission is bad, called a friend at a different Toyota dealer and he stated that they have a lot of camrys with bad transmissions, and that toyota knows about it but wont acknowledge the issues.
My transmission completely failed. It has been diagnosed by an auto body shop. It is available for inspection upon request. It has not been inspected by any of the named above. One day it was fine; driving normal, no erratic behavior. The next day the transmission starts slipping gears, shifting harshly, car shaking, and getting stuck in gear. Driving with my car acting up, having to pull over and turn the car off and back on just to try and get the transmission under control; which didn’t work. My check engine light didn’t even come on until AFTER my transmission completely failed. I have been without my car since February 2nd 2026 because I simply cannot afford to have my vehicle repaired. I bought a Toyota because of the reliability; but now I regret it.
Current Mileage is Approximately 82,000. Vehicles Transmission slips, harsh shifting, and sudden jerking when cold (but after Cold Start Protocol) Accelerator also has this issue, where the car will struggle to accelerate, jerking instead until foot is let off the accelerator and then reapplied. All services have been done at the dealer and on time. Original Transmission fluid changes reported metal shavings, and Transmission fluid was changed early. Vehicle is not subject to harsh/rough driving habits. Seems to be signs of premature Transmission Failure.
Front Right tire strut broke off from where it attaches to the body. Found when lifting car for oil change and looked corroded. If this broke on the highway it could be deadly. Car was towed to a repair shop where they replaced that and the front left strut which they say also showed corrosion. No other parties inspected this. No warning messages or symptoms were present before the failure.
Issue: loud whining coming from transmission during acceleration, rough shifting, transmissions slips. Rough shifting noticed shortly after 25k warranty. More details: I had purchase my vehicle new at Dublin Toyota and have serviced my vehicle regularly recommended by Toyota dealer. Took into dealer for 90k service which included transmission fluid change. After the service I noticed that the bill didn’t include transmission fluid on the materials list. I called the service advisor and asked if it had been changed. The service advisor said he couldn’t prove it as it was not listed so he asked that I bring it back in and he will make sure it is changed. I brought the car back in.. The service team never mentioned any concerns with transmission. Whining started a couple weeks after. I took my car to transmission shop, who inspected a found black burnt transmission fluid with metal pieces. I informed them that I brought my car in for service which was supposed to include a transmission fluid change. They said it didn’t look like it was changed, and if it was, the the service tech would have noticed the black fluid and should have advised of transmission concerns. I was advised that the transmission is damaged beyond being rebuild and needs to be replaced. This failure is a known and acknowledged issue with Toyota UA80F/E transmissions.

Jerking shifting hard stalled in traffic
I am reporting a safety-related transmission failure in my 2019 Toyota. The vehicle suddenly lost the ability to drive forward without any warning. There were no check engine lights, warning lights, or alerts before or during the failure. The vehicle would only go in reverse and became completely undrivable. At the time of the failure, my children and my elderly mother were in the vehicle, creating a serious safety risk. Had this occurred in traffic or at an intersection, it could have resulted in an accident. After the failure, I contacted over 30 transmission shops and mechanics, and none are willing to rebuild or repair the transmission due to known and recurring issues with this Toyota transmission model. I contacted Toyota directly and was provided a repair estimate of approximately $8,000, which is unreasonable for a 2019 vehicle and makes repair financially impossible. The vehicle was towed and remains undrivable. I am currently paying $30 per day for a rental vehicle, causing financial hardship. I am submitting this complaint so this issue is documented as a potential safety defect
The transmission in my 2019 Toyota Camry failed prematurely at approximately 99,854 miles and causes the vehicle to fail to engage properly when shifting into drive. The dealership confirmed the transmission requires replacement. Because this defect affects the vehicle’s ability to move safely from a stopped position, it represents a potential safety hazard.
the panoramic sun roof is stuck open and will not shut dealer wanted almost 10k to replace
Toyota camry began shifting rough and jerking when accelerating between 2nd and 3rd gear. Next there was an audible whine and rumble while the car was driving. This occured for approximately 1 week with no indicator lights. On January 1st, there was a total transmission failure and failure of automatic break system and the camry lost power when accelerating. The vehicle only had 64,000 miles and was outside of warranty.
While driving, the vehicle experiences unintended braking and refusal to accelerate. ABS, traction control, pre-collision system, and secondary collision brake warnings illuminate. Toyota dealer diagnostics documented ABS and brake system fault codes C1201 and C1A50. The vehicle also produces a loud whining/buzzing noise from the brake actuator area while stationary. Dealers have recommended transmission replacement despite active ABS/PCS fault codes and safety system involvement. The condition temporarily resets after battery disconnect but returns. This presents a safety risk due to unintended braking and loss of vehicle control. When this happened I was in the street with my daughter in the back we could have got injured.
1. ABS TRACTION control on, PCS system activated, Secondary brake collision activated and will be available upon inspection. 2. happened mid street with cars in traffic and my daughter in the back seat 3. They are stating transmission but do not want to check ABS system faults. Car was new off the lot unsure why this problem got triggered. I went to Toyota Alhambra and Longo Toyota they do not want to address C codes this is a safety defect that needs to be brought up 4. Will be filing with corporate but wanted to address this issue as this is not the only Toyota with this issue. 5.UKNOWN from my acknowledgement there were no warnings before this happened. Toyota is assuming it is transmission refuses to check ABS system and address C codes
When driving the car, the power steering system lost functionality. It can still be driven with many efforts and extra forces. The dealer checked it and confirmed that it was the power steering malfunction.
The transmission torque convertor clutch, transmission pressure control, transmission solenoid fault. The vehicle is available to inspection. The lost power while driving on the highway putting myself and other drivers at risk. I have spoken with several Toyota repair centers and this is a known issue. Currently, my car along with 3 others are sitting at Miller Toyota with the same issue. The vehicle will be inspected by an insurance representative. The warning light came on after the vehicle lost power.
