| May 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | 1. EVERY TIME I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY BRAKES SQUEAK VERY LOUDLY. 2. THE TRANSMISSION NEVER KNOWS WHAT GEAR TO BE IN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL CLUNK IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. 3. HAS A TERRIBLE BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC AND OIL LIKE WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS HOT. 4. DRIVE SIDE CABIN HAS A CONSTANT ANTIFREEZE SMELL WHILE RUNNING THE A/C 5. THE ENGINE HAS A HORRIBLE LOAD KNOCKING NOISE WHILE RUNNING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY OLD CAR. 6. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR OR IF IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY BUT THE 3-5 SEC DELAY IS DANGEROUS I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN GASTONIA NC AT THE 5 MILE, 10MILE AND 15MILE SERVICE AND EACH TIME THE DEALER JUST TELLS ME ITS FINE AND THAT'S NORMAL. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 14,200 |
| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | I PURCHASED MY TOYOTA 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 4 MILES ON IT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. WHILE RESUMING DRIVING ,FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR HAS A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. IT MAKES A LOUD REVVING NOISE LIKE A SPORTS CAR WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR DOES NOT TAKE OFF WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL . IT IS A MAJOR DELAY .ITS VERY SLOW, AND YOU BARELY MOVE WHILE THE CAR IS MAKING A TREMENDOUS AND EMBARRASSING AMOUNT OF LOUD NOISE. 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 50 |
| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,000 |
| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN | 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 | Crash: No Fire: No | 2 |
| May 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE FAILED TO OPERATE. WHILE DRIVING, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE FRONT MIDDLE PORTION OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MULTIPLE BRUISES, A BROKEN STERNUM, AND WHIPLASH AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH, BUT HAD NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FACILITY. A DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YET. MALLOY TOYOTA (400 WEEMS LN, WINCHESTER, VA 22601, (866) 788-9507) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ABNORMAL CONDITION BEFORE AND AFTER THE CRASH, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD ISSUED 4 TSBS FOR LANE DEPARTURE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE TSB AND THEY HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR A REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | 400 |
| Apr 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | FOR WHATEVER REASON, TOYOTA MADE THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE VERY SLOW TO REACT TO THROTTLE INPUTS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND STOMP ON THE GAS, THERE CAN BE AS MUCH AS A 1.5 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING. THIS CAN BE PRETTY DANGEROUS SUCH AS WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR MOVE SO SOMEONE DOESN'T HIT YOU. NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT HAD SUCH A DELAY UNLESS IT HAD A TURBO, BUT THE CAMRY RESPONDS EVEN SLOWER (CAMRY DOES NOT HAVE A TURBO). I;VE HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS...IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMON COMPLAINT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 500 |
| Apr 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 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 | Crash: No Fire: No | 43,587 |
| Apr 2019 | ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,600 |
| Apr 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,000 |
| Mar 2019 | POWER TRAIN | EVERYTIME WE STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DELAYS TAKE OFF RESPONSE AS OF THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ON 4TH GEAR THEN RAPIDLY DROPS IT TO 1ST OR 2ND WHICH THEN CREATES A REALLY JERKY EFFECT WHICH IS NOT COMFORTABLE, NOT SAFE AND NOT RELIABLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,000 |
| Mar 2019 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,500 |
| Mar 2019 | LANE DEPARTURE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,514 |
| Mar 2019 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JERKS WHEN GOING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DON'T KNOW WHAT HEAR TO GO IN AT TIMES | Crash: No Fire: No | 999 |
| Mar 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | 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! | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,500 |
| Mar 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 300 |
| Mar 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,500 |
| Feb 2019 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,000 |
| Feb 2019 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY XSE. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERN TO A SAFETY HAZARD REGARDING UNEXPECTED SUDDEN BRAKING WITH VEHICLE. *AS *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES TO RECOMMEND A RECALL NOTICE ON VEHICLE MODEL BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. *AS *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2019 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING, WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY JERKY. ANY SORT OF INCLINE SEEMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE EVEN FURTHER! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT WHAT WOULD I KNOW, EVEN THOUGH I DRIVE IT 110 MILES A DAY. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED FROM TAKEOFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE RPM'S WANT TO JUMP AND THE PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY. I REALLY HATE THE TRANSMISSION JERKING THIS HARD WHEN I'M DRIVING 75-80 ON THE INTERSTATE. I ALSO DIDNT WANT TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR THE CAMRY, WHICH I HOLD IN HIGH REGARD, ONLY FOR THIS TO CONTINUE HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAD IT LOOKED AT WITH AROUND 6K MILES AND NOW I HAVE 13K ON THE CAR, WITH ZERO IMPROVEMENT. TOYOTA, PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2019 | POWER TRAIN | THE CAR HARD SHIFTS ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR... SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR, SOME LAG TIME WHEN ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO START ABOUT 5K-8K MILES. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER SAID TO SWITCH TO PREMIUM GAS, THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY TAKE 4 WEEKS TO GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION. DEALER IS ALSO UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2018 CAMRY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,000 |
| Feb 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR CONTROL PANEL POPPED-OUT EASILY, WHEN WINDOW CONTROL UP WAS ACTIVATED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO I WASN'T DRIVING AND STARTLED/DISTRACTED BY IT (I.E., POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE). APPEARS TO BE A RETAINER CLIP ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO COULDN'T FIX IT, SO I SHIMMED THE CLIP, AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE, SINCE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO EXTRACT, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE! NO SUCH ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL PANEL. UPLOADED IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MOV VIDEO, SHOULD YOU WISH TO REVIEW IT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA E-MAIL (I'D HAVE TO UPLOAD IT TO MY WEBSITE, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE FILE). | Crash: No Fire: No | 500 |
