MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LEADING TO A CRASH. MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED UNDER TOYOTA'S FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY FUEL PRESSURE GOES TO NEAR 0 PSI WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA TECHNICIANS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT DUE TO HAVING TO DRIVE SO LONG AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR ME. I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER IF TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR, THE PART WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND WILL LIKELY TO HAVE THE SAME RESULT.

HESITATION AND MAJOR JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW MPH FROM A ROLLING STOP. TSB #T-SB-0152-19_REV SHOULD BE APPLIED TO PRACTICALLY EVERY CAMRY FROM 2018 & 2019. 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. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE APPLY THIS BULLETIN TO MORE CAMRY VINS! *TR

TODAY I NOTICED DURING MY CAR PARKED AT START UP THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. AFTER MAYBE ABOUT A MIN OR TWO IT QUIETED DOWN A LIL BUT IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE WHEN YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ON ACCELERATION DELAY FROM A STOP.

I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 LE NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR WORK ALTHOUGH SINCE MY SON GAVE ME HIS CAR I STARTED USING HIS AND LEFT MINE TO USE FOR THE GYM. AS NOW I AM USING MY 2018 CAMRY NOW MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I APPLY ACCELERATION HARD FROM STOP THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE CAR PICKS UP SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE I BELIEVE THE CAMRY IS DECIDING BETWEEN GEARS AND JERKS WHEN IT SELECTS THE GEAR IT WANTS.

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.

Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 21, 2020
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.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF THE CONCERN.

IT'S MAKING A WEIRD SOUND AND IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOTICEABLE. TOYOTA SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AS THIS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY ON MERGING ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED TO TAKE IT TO 2 DIFFERENT TOYOTA SERVICE CENTERS AND BOTH JUST TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. I LOOKED UP SOME COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR ONLINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME AS WITH 2019 MODELS.

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.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE I GET A STALLED RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS AND THEN IT JERKS FORWARD. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREETS BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT IF STOP AND GO MOVEMENTS. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, EVEN WHEN STOPPING TO TURN DOWN A STREET. I'M NOT SURE WHY THE VEHICLE DOES THIS, I JUST BOUGHT IT SO IT SHOULD STILL BE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR A CAR CRASH. PLEASE HAVE TOYOTA FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SE.
