2019 Toyota Camry Complaint Log

PURCHASED END OF NOV 2018. TWO MONTHS LATER, STEERING KEPT GOING OUT SPORADICALLY. HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES STARTING IN 3/19, AGAIN IN APRIL, AGAIN IN MAY WHEN THEY REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR. STEERING CONTINUED TO GO OUT RANDOMLY. TOOK IT IN AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2019 - STEERING GOING OUT. REPLACED ACTIVE GEAR SHUTTER, ONLY TO HAVE THE LIGHT COME BACK ON 3 MILES AWAY.TOOK CAR BACK AGAIN 21 DAYS LATER AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. ON MAY 10TH, WENT OUT MULTIPLE TIMES ON A WINDY CANYON. TODAY, MAY 12, THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. WE HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE HELPFUL. WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED.

REACCELARATION SHOCK, TRANSMISSION LAG, ESPECIALLY UPON RE-ACCELERATION FROM COASTING OR WHEN TRYING TO OVERTAKE SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY, DANGEROUS. LUGGING AND SHIFT SHOCK ON DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING, FEELS LIKE YOU GET REAR ENDED SOMETIMES. WHEN ON A COMPLETE STOP AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THEN IT JERKS INTO GEAR.

TRANSMISSION SEEM VERY UNRESPONSIVE WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR. REVS UP TO 2500 BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. ALMOST WAS HIT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WEST, INTO AN AFTERNOON SUN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A BLINDING SUN REFLECTION FROM THE BACK SECTION OF THE HOOD. THE STYLING OF THE HOOD CREATES A BLINDING SUN GLARE. THE LAST 1 625 INCHES OF THE HOOD IS AT A NEGATIVE PLANE. THE ARCH OF THE REAR SECTION OF THE HOOD, COMBINED WITH THE NEGATIVE PLANE, INTENSIFIES SUN REFLECTION TO AN UNSAFE LEVEL. THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN INTO THE DRIVERS EYES HAS A BLINDING EFFECT AND OBLITERATES THE HEADS UP DISPLAY.

BRAKES VIBRATE SINCE 10,000 MILES. DEALER WAS ADVISED AT FIRST SERVICE. BRAKES HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. DRIVING AS NORMAL, NO EXCESSIVE BRAKING HAS BEEN DONE. BRAKES SKIPPING WHEN APPLIED. DEALER HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

My 2019 has an acceleration delay issue. I have taken it in to get it checked, and Toyota says that it checks out according to their standards. However, the issue has never gone away, and I have had to learn how to drive and accommodate this severe and dangerous safety issue. When I press the acceleration pedal, there is a delay when I'm at a complete stop or in the low gears. I try to make sure that I do not get into a situation where I may need to accelerate quickly to avoid an accident, and I pray that I never find myself needing to accelerate quickly. Unfortunately, it's been an ongoing issue, and Toyota does not recognize it nor offer to fix it.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN (FROM A STOP SIGN) OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CAR HESITATED THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REV'D UP, AND SHOT FORWARD. I'M SURE THE NEIGHBORS THOUGHT I WAS HOT RODDING. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A SEPARATE DAY WHEN I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS A PICKUP TRUCK COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, BUT HE WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY, SO I GAVE IT SOME GAS TO START MY TURN. MY CAR HESITATED AND I THOUGHT THE PICKUP WAS GOING TO HIT ME, BUT THEN MY CAR REV'D UP AND LUNGED FORWARD AS PREVIOUSLY. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MAKING LEFT TURNS, BUT ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A 45 MPH LEVEL ROAD AND I GAVE IT GAS TO INCREASE MY SPEED TO 45 ---- THE SAME THING HAPPENED ---- HESITATION, REV'D UP, LUNGED FORWARD. IT STILL DOES IT, BUT I'M TRYING TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT TRAFFIC FATALITY, OR WORSE, CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO BE KILLED OR MAIMED. I ALSO TOLD THE SERVICE REP WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHECK IT. HE TOLD ME THEY HAD CHECKED IT AND IT'S OKAY. I LOOKED AT THE SERVICE REPORT BUT, I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THEY HAD CHECKED IT. I STARTED LOOKING FOR INFO VIA THE INTERNET ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER SITES THAT HAD PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. SO, THE NEXT REGULAR MAINTENANCE I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR, I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE REP AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM OF HESITATION, ETC. I SAID IT SEEMS THAT IT MUST BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND THAT'S WHY THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS OKAY. HE AGREED THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS CAR, BUT I HAVE NOTHING IN WRITING THAT HE SAID THAT OR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EVEN CHECKED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IN ALL THREE DRIVING MODES. CHECK: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-M7_DS895703

CAR MANUFACTURER LIKE TOYOTA HAS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM INSTALLED IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES SINCE 2017. IT CAUSES EXTREME DISCOMFORT FOR OTHER CAR DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY,ESPECIALLY THOSE DRIVING IN SAME DIRECTION. THE HIGH BEAM FROM THE CAR BEHIND REFLECTS ON THE DRIVER IN THE CAR WITH IN FRONT VIA THE SIDE MIRROR. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED DUE TO WHITE LIGHTS ON THESE CARS. THE GLARE FROM THE CAR BEHIND IS SO MUCH, THAT EVENTUALLY I HAVE TO LOWER MY SIDE VIEW MIRROR SUCH THAT I CANNOT EVEN SEE THE CARS BEHIND. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY FREQUENT ISSUE ON THE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATE.

ENGINE EXHAUST LEAK.ENGINE KNOCKING LOUD .IDLE AIR CONTROLLER NOT WORK STRUCK OPEN.RPM HIGH AND LOW AT STOP SIGNAL

WHEN CAR IS RUNNING ON CITY STREET AND I LET GO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEM I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS WHILE IS RUNNING THERE IS A BANG IN THE TRANSMISSION LIKE THE GEAR ARE NOT CHANGING SMOOTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN CAR IS RUNNING AND I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE, IT TAKE LIKE 2 SECOND FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR IT FEEL LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIME AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. I HAVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND IT HAPPENING LIKE TWICE A MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SWOPE TOYOTA (1085 NORTH DIXIE HIGHWAY, ELIZABETHTOWN, KY 42701, 270-737-2181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT HAVE THE CORRECT MOTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO OXMOOR TOYOTA (8003 SHELBYVILLE ROAD, LOUISVILLE, KY, (502) 565-0086). THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

PUSH TO TALK USUALLY DOES NOT WORK. GPS NOT RECOGNIZING VERIFIED ADDRESSES AND VERY INACCURATE. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION OF PHONE AND TOYOTA SYSTEM DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING DURING CALLS. HAVE DOCUMENTED EACH PROBLEM WITH PHOTOS AND WITNESSES, BUT SINCE CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED IN SHOP, THEY IGNORE. TOYOTA DEALER AND NATIONAL CLAIMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED, BUT NONE AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT PROBLEM, NOW JUST A CASE NUMBER TO NATIONAL. DEALER HAS TRIED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA. THIS OCCURS STATIONARY AND WHAT IS ALLOWED, WHEN DRIVING.TOYOTA NOT STANDING BY WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE UNIT!

MY 2019 CAMERY COMPLETELY STALLS AT TAKE OFF. YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT STALLS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THINGS ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR IN THE FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE. I HAVE DROVE PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAD A ACCELERATION ISSUE. THIS DOES IT AT A FULL STOP IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET GOING ON THE TAKE OFF. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AS I HAVE READ UP ON IT AND LIVING PROOF MY CAR DOES IT AS WELL. I HAVE WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS A ISSUE, BUT CAN'T WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NEEDS TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WHICH I AGREED; HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SAY IT'S FINE. THIS IS VERY AWFUL.
