2020 TOYOTA CAMRY Electrical System Problems

It’s reading the LDA warning lights, secondary collision break malfunction, pre collision break malfunction, check engine light. Car is misfiring and could possibly cut off in mid traffic. Dealer said that the Motor has a cracked head gasket. There were no problems prior to these issues.

My 2020 Camry has been nothing but a problem and Toyota is noncompliant with helping me. The service recall for the fuel pump was fixed at Vaughn Toyota in Bastrop La .. a week later I still had the same issues. They refused to put another fuel pump on my car even thought the fuel pump had a one year warranty. I then took it to Landers in Little Rock and since I had “codes” I had to pay $180 diagnostic fee. Fast forward to now, still have the same crappy fuel pump. I took it to Ryburn Toyota and was told to replace the charcoal canister and vent valve . That was $1000. Problem not fixed. All my lights stay on, I often get a charging system error notification. It goes into reduced power mode. And has left me stranded numerous times on the side of the road. I want whatever is wrong with my car fixed. I have never owned a vehicle with this many problems. I thought Toyota’s were good vehicles but I promise if I ever get rid of this one, I will not purchase another Toyota vehicle again.

My 2020 Toyota Camry SE suffered a sudden and premature transmission failure at only 114,000 miles. I am a college student and I cannot afford a major repair like this on top of my monthly car payment. The car began showing hesitation and sluggish acceleration on cold starts for a few months, but then suddenly went into limp mode with the Check Engine and Traction Control lights on. The screen displayed a warning saying ‘Malfunction in the electronic control of the engine/throttle/transmission.’ The vehicle became unsafe to drive because it would barely accelerate. If this had happened while I was merging onto a highway, it could have caused an accident. Lakeland Toyota told me the transmission has ‘internal failure’ and quoted me over $8,000 for a replacement. They did not provide detailed diagnostic codes or open the transmission to confirm the mechanical failure — they just saw a code and declared it dead. As a student with limited income, this puts me in a terrible financial situation. I still owe monthly payments on this car and now cannot even drive it. After researching online, I learned that MANY 2018–2020 Camry owners are experiencing similar transmission problems (UA80/UA80E), including hesitation, shuddering, harsh shifting, and early failure. Some owners have reported full transmission failure under 100k miles. There is even a public petition documenting these issues. This appears to be a PATTERN, not an isolated case. A transmission should NOT fail this early on a Toyota, and this sudden loss of power poses a serious safety risk. The vehicle is currently at a transmission specialist for a second opinion, but this may become a widespread issue affecting thousands of Camry owners. I am asking NHTSA to investigate the 2018–2020 Camry transmission problems before more drivers experience unexpected failures in traffic

On multiple occasions the doors have Locked or Unlocked automatically while driving. This puts my children at risk not knowing if doors will stay locked while driving. The problem has not been looked at a dealer. I doubt they could reproduce it being so random and infrequent. There were not any warning lamps or messages.

Only the driver side door unlocks. Started with rear driver side door. Now only driver side door unlocks with key fob. Replaced battery and had fob program still same issue.

Started vehicle and went to back up. Car slammed into reverse and disply showed Drive start control malfunction. The service engine light came on. I removed the battery to reset the error message and the following dayi took it to the dealership. They checked it out and told me that they didnt find anything wrong with it since it wasnt displaying a service engine light. So i went home with it. The next day it did it again so i took it back to them while the condition was happening. Which insisted of the error message, serv eng light, gearshift indicator displaying drive and park at the same time. Also the door locks were continually locking and unlocking. They put a new water valve plus a neut switch assy and a new xmission lever in it and told me it was fixed. I picked it up and the next day it did it again. Returned it to them and they said that the new part was possibly bad from Toyota, ordered a new one, put it in and said it was all good now. I picked car up and 9 months later its happening again. Not sure what to do. Please help

Just bought this car in May 2024 and a few months after owning it my check engine light came on. They said the issue is with a coolant bypass valve and the issue is common with Toyota’s like mine. There is currently no recall, warranty is fighting me to fix it and the repairs will cost me over $700! Toyota needs to recall for this issue

Battery was replaced 6 months ago due to being old, however, on Sept 19,2024 the car was completely dead after 4 days of no driving. Jumped by AAA and taken to dealer. Dealer reported on Sept 20 no issue with battery and no idea what could be draining th battery. Told me I don’t drive it enough even though I just came back from a high mileage vacation and drove it for over 1 hour each way four days prior and two days before that. Told me I need to run for 30 min every other day even if it is just keep it idle in garage. Prior to this battery change I had no such issue letting it sit for days and not start. There seems to be an issue with this year of Camry that is going unaddressed by Toyota and needs a remedy other than drive your car more often as well as being told to buy a maintainer/charger to keep battery charged as told by the tech. This is a widespread problem that needs to be fixed or made right by the company especially when car is under warranty.

coolant bypass valve

Consistent issues regarding battery draining when car sits over 24 hours. Dealer can not find or resolve the problem.

While driving my car lost all power and my check engine light came on saying it needed to go to Toyota for inspection!

Car battery is dead . Battery is drained without cause, especially if car is park for 3 days or more. I have battery replaced before but still dies if not driven.

Coolant bypass valve not functioning and needs to be repaired. Car can overheat or cause other electrical issues. Dealer stated this is a frequent issue for a lot of models. Not covered under warranty.

The 12-volt battery has gone totally dead twice. Replaced the battery 2 times. Both batteries were fairly new. I believe there is some sort of drain on the battery that the test doesn't show. at a Toyota dealership, they said I didn't drive the car enough. When the battery failed the last time, I had driven the car over 1000 miles in the previous days before letting the car sit for 2 days. No way should the battery die this quickly.

After not driving for a couple days I was unable to start my Toyota Camry. The battery had drained for the 3rd time since buying this car in 2020. Safety - N/A Dealer confirmed issue. Yes the dealership No warning lamps.

The vehicle has a parasitic electrical drain that has lead to my wife being stranded twice.

I purchased my Toyota Camry 2020 in 2021. I am at 56k miles and my car hasn’t started up without a jump for three weeks now. Car battery and alternator checked in excellent condition but somehow battery always drained. Found out that there was a bulletin back in 2020 on this issue that I was never made aware of so now I’m past 36 and Toyota states I have to pay for the update needed to keep my car running which is ridiculous because had I received this update upon purchase in 2021 this wouldnt have happened. This car is brand new and for them to say I have to pay for this Issue they have neglected to take care of is unfair. There should be a class action suit against Toyota for this.

Two instances of parking the 2020 Toyota Camry and electrical system going "dead" within 24-36 hours. Battery drained/unable to enter via FOB/unable to start vehicle. Car maintenance and inspection occurred in November 2, 2022. Testing of battery by Toyota Service Center confirmed battery was not issue and worked as normal. Battery less than two years old. Overall safety was not at risk, as car was parked in garage during both instances (March 2022/November 2022). Problem was not able to be reproduced. No warnings were given prior to either event by warning lamps/messages.

Battery runs down if vehicle is not driven every few days. I did not drive the car for three days and battery was totally dead when i tried to start car. Some unknown current draw runs the battery down. Depending where a person is this could be a safety matter.

Dead battery at 21000 miles. Car is less than 2 years old and didn't drive it for 36 hours and the battery completely drained. Even after jump start electronic dash wouldn't function properly.

Battery keeps draining with no warning. Has left me stranded multiple times. I have had the battery checked & it is fine. Nothing was left on in the vehicle.

When I press the button to start my 2020 Camry it has difficulty starting. It chugs/lags. It also smells of coolant/antifreeze when this happens. It has done this since the day I leased it. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership 3 times and each time I’m told that they hooked it up to their computer and can’t find anything wrong and they can’t replicate the problem. I have had several witnesses/passengers inside and outside my vehicle who have heard the starting issue and commented on coolant smell. To date, my vehicle only has 7000 miles on it.

First time went to get in my vehicle and the car would not even open, not even the trunk. Had been parked over night. The car was deader than a door nail. The Toyota dealer had a tow truck dispatched to me with a charge box. The charge box would not even crank the vehicle. Had to use his tow truck to jump the car took to Toyota they said it needed a software update. Did it seemed fine now fast forward several months later now when it cranks doesn’t want to crank, dies then have to try again finally it crank. Took in today at dealer they tested battery said it’s showing 100% testing so not the battery then they say the update didn’t take back months ago so needs to be updated again 🤬. So now I’ve been shuttled home as it will take 2 plus hours. I’ve googled and seen so many complaints that are identical to mine and wondering why my vehicle has no recall when my vehicle has same issues apparently or I’m being lied to by the dealer cause I’ve got a complete lemon. I’ve owned many Toyota’s and never once had issues like this.

As I was driving Monday morning August 16 2021, Check engine light and chip failure light showed up. When shifting the vehicle in reverse, but it showed in drive. Took the car to Toyota dealer, and diagnosis reveals "Vehicle has green death in connections to shift indicator. This problem costing $4,585.25 to fix the problem.

AFTER 2 DAYS PARKED IN GARAGE WITH LIGHTS OFF AND DOORS CLOSED THE CAR WOULDN'T START. AFTER JUMP STARING THE CAR IN THE SCREEN IN THE DASHBOARD A VIDEO WAS PLAYING STATING THAT AN ELECTRONIC BOARD IS AFFECTING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS JUST 15,500 MILES. IN MARCH 2020 THE SAME HAPPEN. DEALER SAID WAS FIXED. I TALKED TO TOYOTA (JEFFREY) COMPANY AND HE SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR SOFTWARE UPGRADE.

TWICE RECENTLY 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH LESS THAN 8,000 MILES ON IT WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED IN A GARAGE. IN BOTH CASES, WE CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CAR STARTED RIGHT AWAY. NO DOORS WERE LEFT OPEN, NO LIGHTS ON, ETC. WHAT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AFTER A DAY OR TWO NOT BEING DRIVEN? MY OLDER TOYOTA WITH 150,000 IS MORE RELIABLE, SADLY. HAVE READ ABOUT A BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, BUT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. TAKING TO DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE IDENTIFIED.

PROBLEMS WITH THE DEAD BATTERY ' DRAINING. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2020. IT HAS BEEN 2 TIMES I'VE HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. FIRST TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO USE. SECOND TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS LOW MILES SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT. I WANTED TO BUY A NEW CAR TO NOT GO THROUGH "ISSUES" AND I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO DRIVE MY CAR MORE THAN WHAT I NEED TO, NOR I SHOULD HAVE TO BUY A TRICKLE CHARGER THE TECH SERVICE GUY RECOMMENDED ME TO BUY AND FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS ON HAVING TO DRIVE AT LEAST 30 MINUTES TWICE A WEEK, WHEN I ALREADY DRIVE IT TO WORK EVERYDAY. NOW I AM AFFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, WORRIED THAT IT WON'T WORK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT WHEN THEY TELL YOU "I CANNOT GARANTEE THIS WON'T HAPPEND AGAIN IN 6 OR 7 MONTHS"?. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I THEN, STARTED DOING RESAERCH ON MY OWN ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY MARCH 2020. ON JUNE 15, 2020 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM PARKING BRAKE DISABLED. MY CAR REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS. ON JUNE 19 I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN STATED THE BATTERY WAS GOOD AFTER PERFORMING A BATTERY TEST USING TOYOTA DCA8000 TEST. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED AN UPDATE TELEMATICS MODULE I9I-13 DCM TO LATEST FIRMWARE TO SOFTWARE VERSION HIGH AT LG-N010FFB AND SOFTWARE VERSION LOW AT CBC-98 OR CBC-34 AS APPLICABLE DEALER TECHSTREAM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. OK THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE FIX TO MY PROBLEM. ON AUG 19 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AFTER A SERIES OF TEST THEY STATED IT WAS THE BATTERY, SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD BE THE BATTERY WHEN THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. . ON JAN 25, 2021 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY CAR WOULD START. THE RADIO CAME ON , THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. TECHNICIAN ADVISE THE NEXT DAY HAD PERFORM A DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR DRAINING BATTERIES TO THE 2020 CAMRY. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT PERFORM TO THE STANDARDS I EXPECTED SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE MARCH 2020. STATE OF GEORGIA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SUBMIT A LEMON LAW CLAIM BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS NOT OUT OF COMMISSION FOR 30 DAYS TOTAL. I AM A VERY UPSET CUSTOMER AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND POSSIBLY SEEK ME A A CONSUMER ATTORNEY. AS MUCH AS I AM PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT AROUND FOR TOYOTA TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECT.

I PURCHASED MY CAMRY IN OCTOBER. WHEN STARTING IT UP IN THE MORNING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS THERE WAS A SLIGHT HESITATION. I ATTRIBUTED THE ISSUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP BEFORE DRIVING. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. IT MAKES A CLICKING AND RATTLING NOISE SIMILAR TO AN OLD CLUNKER. I WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. I CALLED THE BROWN'S TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED THERE. THEY WERE CLOSING AT 4P AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT THE CAR UNTIL MONDAY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A LOANER CAR UPFRONT AND BE REIMBURSED IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO START. SO RIDICULOUS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH A BRAND NEW CAR. FROM THE LOOKS OF IT READING THROUGH THESE OTHER REPORTS THERE'S A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY.

UNEXPECTEDLY, MY CAR'S 12V BATTERY DISCHARGED COMPLETELY UNDER CONDITIONS OF REGULAR USE AND MODERATE TEMPERATURES, WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. CAR IS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 6327 MILES. IT WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP, WHICH RE-CHARGED THE BATTERY AND INSTALLED DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE T-SB-0095-20. THE REPAIR REPRESENTATIVE REFERRED TO POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A RECENT AUTO SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT MAY HAVE WORN DOWN BATTERY WITH NUMEROUS INCOMPLETE (UNINITIATED) IGNITION STARTS. THIS SOFTWARE FIX WAS APPLIED FOR THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE, BUT IS NOT BEING GENERALLY APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLES. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING I DID, AND INDICATED I MAY WANT TO WATCH FOR TOYOTA CONSUMER NOTICES FOR FURTHER REPAIR. THE TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE T-SB-0095-20 (DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, ACCESSIBLE ONLINE), INDICATES SOME 2020-2021 MODELS MAY EXHIBIT "DEPLETED 12V VEHICLE BATTERY WHEN IN IG-OFF". THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT BEING APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLES, AND THERE WAS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN. AS A DRIVER, THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO BEING STRANDED WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION, AND RELIANT ON HELP FROM STRANGERS IF PARKED IN REMOTE RECREATION AREAS WITHOUT CELL PHONE ACCESS; AN UNSAFE SITUATION.

1. CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TAKE OFF. MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN CROSSING THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE IN CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM. 2. THE CAR STEREO SYSTEM RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE STEREO ALSO RANDOMLY LOSES SOUND. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN FOR THIS ALSO. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR FROM SITTING JUST OVERNIGHT, THE DASH WILL FLASH AND CLICK AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD. THE CAR WON'T START AND HAS TO BE JUMPED. HOWEVER WHEN YOU HAVE THE CAR CHECKED, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. THERE IS SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. NOTHING IS PLUGGED IN AND THE LIGHTS ARE ALL TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS SIMPLY DRAINING ITSELF. THERE ARE ONLY 6000 MILES ON THE CLOCK AND NO OTHER OUTSIDE FACTORS THAT I CAN THINK OF COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS ISSUE. ALSO RELATED TO THE ELECTRONICS GOING CRAZY, IS THE RCD FEATURE USED WHILE IS REVERSE GEAR. AFTER THE CAR IS JUMPED, THAT FEATURE NEEDS TO BE RESET BY A TECHNICIAN SO THE BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY. THIS IS VERY QUICKLY BECOMING MORE THEN AN ANNOYANCE.

RODENTS APPEAR TO BE ATTRACTED TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE THEY ARE EATING CRITICAL WIRING. THE WIRING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, COSTING ME $600. AFTER RETURNING THE VEHICLE FROM THESE REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I PARKED THE VEHICLE AT HOME AND AGAIN RODENTS ENTERED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CHEWED UP ADDITIONAL WIRING THE VERY NEXT DAY. THE NEW REPAIRS COST ME AND ADDITIONAL $600. THE HOME IS LOCATED IN A RURAL AREA UNDER A CARPORT. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS HOME FOR SEVEN YEARS AND HAVE OTHER CARS PARKED ADJACENT TO THE AUTOMOBILE IN QUESTION. NO OTHER VEHICLES, HOWEVER, HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RODENTS. I WILL BE TRADING IN THIS VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE COSTLY REPAIR BILLS.
