THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN A WEEK THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 31,000 |

| May 2020 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR ALL CARS. WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN IT IS IMPORTANT TO TURN ON HEADLIGHTS IN ORDER FOR THE TAILLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. ALMOST NO ONE DOES THIS ANYMORE DUE TO DRL AND AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. DURING A RECENT VERY HEAVY RAINSTORM IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CARS AHEAD OF ME, ALMOST RESULTING IN A COLLISION. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT THE TAILLIGHTS COME ON ANYTIME THE WIPERS ARE ACTIVE. THIS IS SERIOUS. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 51,000 |

| May 2020 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES | I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID LE WHICH PURCHASED AS BRAND NEW. AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ROAD IS VERY FLAT IF THE CAR HITS ANY KIND OF POTHOLE OR BUMP, THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT BREAKS (OR MAYBE THE CVT GEARS ENGAGING FOR REGENERATIVE BREAKING) AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE ABS LIGHT STARTS SHINING IN THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT EASILY REPLICABLE BUT IT'S MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEHIND A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR IF THE BREAKS ARE APPLIED WITH HIGHER FORCE THIS ISSUE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY NOT PRESENT. ALSO, I'VE NOT NOTICED IT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNING, IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN ON A STRAIGHT AND FLAT ROAD AND SUDDENLY ONE OF THE TIRES GOES OFF BALANCE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,000 |
