2018 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine Problems

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Vehicle cut off at a stop light twice

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. Today, 9/25/25, as I was approaching the car that was waiting to enter 56th street my engine increased from about 5 MPH to about 35 MPH. Instead of hitting the car in front of me I turned into the lane on my left. A car hit my car on the left side. MY CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE!!

2018 Camry with very low mileage (appx 38,000) and had all its required services done, suddenly had a check engine light. Less than a minute after that, "Coolant Temp High - Stop where it's safe" message popped up. Service center indicated it was a failed water pump (diagnostic codes P26CB71, U0073, U016387, U0163, P26CB). Coolant was gone. Multiple users for 2018/2019 have reported this water pump failure on r/Camry [XXX] Does not seem safe to have a car go from no problem to near catastrophic engine failure with virtually no warning INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I keep getting error code P0304 which says its cylinder 4 misfire the engine starts shaking a bit and most of the warning lights in my dashboard turn on and it disables the parking brake , I took it to a shop and they took out the fuel injectors to visualy inspect them and moved injector 4 to a different cylinder but the same error keeps coming back cylinder 4 misfire , I keep having to spend money and still have the same issue. It only does it on a cold start .

LOW BRAKING POWER MESSAGE IS ON AND BRAKE TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY CAUSE: DIAGNOSED CONCERN, FOUND VACCUM PUMP NOT PRODUCING VACCUM CAUSING CONCERN, INSPECTED AND FOUND VACCUM PUMP BROKEN AND CAMSHAFT BROKEN, PIECES BROKEN OFF INSIDE ENGINE. STATES LOW BRAKING POWER MESSAGE IS ON AND BRAKE PEDAL DROPS TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY

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.

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. Diagnostic at Toyota said the Thermostat needs to be replaced. I decided to look into this as the thermostat should not be bad at 54500 miles. Weeks later and the neither light has come on again.

Replaced car battery , vehicle constantly jerking pressing the accelerator. It took almost a month to stop with harsh jerking . Going on 3 months and still transmission slips or jerks when entering traffic or accelerating sporadically. Feels as car either loses power or can’t find gears while driving. Very dangerous.

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”.

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!

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)

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.

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

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 contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard and the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. The ABS and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor 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 manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 149,000. The VIN was not available.

Water Pump, Toyota Camry 2018 LE, 2.5. 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.

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

Vehicle is experience DTC P26CB71 (Electric Water Pump Stuck) Same other 2018 Camrys have experienced

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.

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 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.

Blank spots in gas pedal

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. So I backed into a truck and my son and myself were in the vehicle. No airbags were dispensed. No injuries but damages to my trunk lid, tail light, brake light and number were damaged. My car now has airbag malfunction and the steering assistance is working correctly.

I just brought this car on June 1 2021 then 2 month engine light came out after that October 1 2021 stop running it doesn’t run no more it start but don’t run at all

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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. WENT IN TO REPLACE IT AND THE BACKSIDE IS DECENTIGRATED INTO THE MOTOR. NEEDS CAMSHAFT ASSEMBLY/EXHAUST REPLACED, INVESTIGATE THE MOTOR TO LOOK FOR PIECES SO THEY DON'T DAMAGE THE MOTOR, NO GEAR AT THE END OF THE VACUUM PUMP, IT HAS GONE DOWN NOT THE MOTOR

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.

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH DURING DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2020 AND NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING IN OCTOBER 2020, BUT AS OF TODAY (FEB 21, 2021), IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE I AM DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON FEB 20, 2021, IT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IT FIRST IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

CAR SEEMS LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON BUT ITS NOT. WHEN I DRIVE OFF IT PULLS BACK AND HESITATES.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mileage: 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.

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.

Mileage: 300

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Mileage: 4,500

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

Mileage: 70

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 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.
