| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY DANGEROUS DELAY . DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THEN SUDDENLY REACS . WHEN SWITCHING LANES AND MERGING INTO HIGHWAY IVE HAD THE CAR NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES . TOYOTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM !!!!! NOT A SAFE CAR | Crash: No Fire: No | 30 |
| Jan 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | AFTER HEAVY SNOWFALL AND SEVERAL DAYS OF NOT DRIVING, THE MOON ROOF ON MY CAMRY BROKE. IT STILL GOES UP AND DOWN AND OPENS AND CLOSES, BUT WHEN I CHOOSE TO BRING IT DOWN IT GOES TOO FAR DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN SNOW/RAIN TO ENTER MY VEHICLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 18,000 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | CAR IS OFTEN JUMPY AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN. I WILL PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN, AND THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT DELAY BEFORE THE CAR SELECTS THE PROPER GEAR, OFTEN RESULTING IN THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN TOWN, NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AFTER TURNING. AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH FOR ME TO TAKE NOTICE AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A MONTH. | Crash: No Fire: No | 45,000 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION HESISTATING ON TAKE OFF AND WHEN CHANGING TO ANOTHER FORWARD SPEED. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 - 3 TIMES A WEEK | Crash: No Fire: No | 17,800 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING, CAR HAS PROBLEM SELECTING THE RIGHT GEAR. I WAS DRIVING AND I DECELERATE NOT TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEM TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THAT WHEN I NOTICE CAR HAS STRUGGLE TO SELECT THE PROPER GEAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR ABOUT 2 SECOND BEFORE A ROUGH FAST START THROUGH 2 OR 3 GEAR, THEM THE PROPER GEAR IS SELECTED. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3 |
| Jan 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,500 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN | THE TRANSMISSION HAS HARSH SHIFTS. MULTIPLE TIMES COMING THROUGH THE CITY WITH STOP SIGNS IT WILL HAVE A DELAY AND JERK WHEN I START TO GO AGAIN. SOME TIMES WHEN I GO TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION THERE WILL BE A DELAY WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I'M CROSSING WHILE YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STARTED ITS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTERS AND RECOMMENDED I USED THE DIFFERENT MODES FOR BETTER SHIFTING. I WOULD LIKE THE BETTER FUEL ECONOMY AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT IT IN SPORT MODE FOR IT TO SOMEWHAT SHIFT BETTER. EVEN IN SPORT MODE IT STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS TO LEARN MY DRIVING PATTERN BUT AT 10K MILES I'M STILL HAVE ING THE ISSUE. IF IT WASN'T A NEW CAR I WOULD SAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD WITH HOW JERKY THE CAR CAN BE AT TIMES. VERY DISAPPOINTING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN,SEAT BELTS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 555 |
| Jan 2019 | POWER TRAIN,VISIBILITY/WIPER | THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE WITH THE POWER TRAIN IS THAT WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN & HAS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP & TAKE OFF THE CAR HESITATES TO GO. IT SOMEWHAT STALLS & IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY STREET & THEN YOU STALL WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS YOU!! YOU CAN SOMETIMES PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR & IT STILL WON'T TAKE OFF LIKE IT SHOULD & THEN WHEN IT CATCHES THE CAR JERKS & THEN ACCELERATES. CRAZY HUH? I DON'T LIKE IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES & EVERY TIME THEY SAY IT'S THE WAY THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS MADE IN THE 2018 MODELS & IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT SOME POINT OF MY DRIVING TRIP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE & TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM & TAKE THIS SERIOUS BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. WITH THE VISIBILITY OR WIPERS, WHEN IT RAINS REALLY HARD THE VISIBILITY IS TERRIBLE...WIPERS ON HIGH & DEFROST ON IT'S STILL JUST TERRIBLE!! TOYOTA WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS NOW!! | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,000 |

| Dec 2018 | WHEELS | WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN WET CONDITIONS, ON A FLAT, SMOOTH ROAD SURFACE, I HEARD A LOUD POP BUT THERE WAS NOT AN IMPACT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. APPROX. 30 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE, THE MILEAGE WAS APPROX 9,390K.

| Nov 2018 | POWER TRAIN | TRANSMISSION JERKS AND CANT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. IF YOU COME TO A STOP THEN TRY TO CHANGE LANES THE TRANSMISSION CANT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. I ALMOST GOT INTO A CRASH BECAUSE OF IT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR GETS HURT!! ALSO THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEARS IT MAKES FOR A CRAP RIDE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 14,500 |
| Nov 2018 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH LIGHT/DARK ZONES WHEN FOCUSED FOR THE FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THERE IS LITTLE DIFFUSION OF LIGHT INTO THE UPPER{DARK} ZONE AND OBJECTS ABOVE THREE FEET OR SO ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AT 100 FEET. I RECENTLY PASSED A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ON THE ROAD SHOULDER, AND THE PERSON WAS ONLY VISIBLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN. STOP SIGNS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED, BUT THE POLES ARE. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK THE LIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE SET TO THE DESIGN SPEC. I CONTACTED TOYOTA INC. AND WENT THROUGH THREE LAYERS OF PEOPLE TO BE TOLD THAT IT IS AS DESIGNED AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 100 |
| Nov 2018 | POWER TRAIN | THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES IS HORRIBLE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN IT SPEEDS UP AND WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT IT DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO GO MY RMP HITS ABOUT 4 BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. I SWARE OTHER CARS THINK I WANT TO RACE. I DID ADVICE THE SALES MEN WHEN HE ASKED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CAR AND HE SAID BECAUSE OF A NEW MODLE OF TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THE CAR SHAKES AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT IS FINE ON THE HIGH WAY. I AM JUST DIAPPOINTED IN MY PURCHACE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT OF ALL 5 TOYOTAS IVE HAD THAT I WISH I WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT. I WAS FINE IN MY 2012 WISH I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 100 |
| Nov 2018 | POWER TRAIN | THIS CAR HAS A VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO GO IN AND A VIBRATION OCCURS AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD A BIT. IN THESE CASES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH HAS NEARLY HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES NOW. IN ADDITION TO THIS SHAKING THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS NEARLY STALLED ON ME AS WELL WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A ROUND-ABOUT IN WHICH I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE RIGHT AFTER. THIS RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS CAR AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR GETTING REAR-ENDED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I CAN TELL IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN I SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO "NEUTRAL" AND COME TO A STOP, THE ISSUE NEVER HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK, SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND IT NOW HAS ONLY 1500 MILES ON IT. THEY SPENT A DAY ON IT AND TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT AND THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT ONCE OR TWICE AFTER A LONG TEST-DRIVE. THEY'VE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NEW 2018 CAMRY'S THOUGH AS WELL, SO IT'S POSSIBLE TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THIS. AFTER READING ONLINE, I CAN SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE RUNNING INTO THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I AM. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,500 |
| Nov 2018 | POWER TRAIN | MY VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER A ROLLING STOP. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS WHEN I AM IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUTTER WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT ALSO JERKS QUITE OFTEN. | Crash: No Fire: No | 11,500 |
| Oct 2018 | POWER TRAIN | TAKATA RECALL. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE DAY FIRST DAY I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR AND STALLS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING THE WAY IT SHOULD. ESPECIALLY DURING BUMPER/BUMPER TRAFFIC. AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T FIND IT'S GEAR. TENDS TO UPSHIFT AND WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT MIGHT TAKE A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT GOES AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT A FEW SECONDS IS AN ETERNITY (ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES AND THERE IS A CAR COMING). | Crash: No Fire: No | 20 |
| Oct 2018 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING A DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING CONDITION WITH REGARD TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS, ESPECIALLY BAD ON A SUNNY DAY. NAMELY, THE SHINY CHROME DASH BOARD AIR VENTS ARE REFLECTED ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR. THE SAME PROBLEM IS SEEN BY THE DRIVER WHEN VIEWING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VIEW MIRROR. | Crash: No Fire: No | 600 |
| Oct 2018 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2018 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | RENTAL CAR, HEADLIGHTS FOCUSED TOO LOW. ALMOST WENT THROUGH TWO STOP SIGNS IN CA AS THE HEADLIGHTS NEVER SHINED ON THE SIGNS. IN MOTION ON A 30MPH STREET WITH MANY STOP SIGNS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 18,000 |
