Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 26, 2021
I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry XLE in May 2020. One week after purchase, the vehicle stalled minutes after putting gas. The Check Malfunction Indicator Lamp came on, and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle turned on again after approximately 30 minutes. Eight months later I received a recall notice regarding a fuel pump malfunction. Toyota replaced the low-pressure fuel pump in March 2021. In early November 2021, the same Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the car shut off. I restarted the vehicle and it turned back on. On November 30, 2021, I put gas in the vehicle, and after approximately 5 minutes of driving the Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle wouldn't turn back on until 20 minutes later. The vehicle was taken in for inspection, but no issues were found. The same Malfunction Indicator Lamp and vehicle stalling continue to occur.

My car started to have issues while driving, especially when I slow down. It wants to die while I’m driving or waiting for traffic so I can turn or entering roundabouts. I recently waited for traffic and found myself turning in front of a semi. I had plenty of time, but through my turn realized that if my car had died that semi would have hit me at 45 mph. There are 2 lights on, check engine and master warning light. I have tried to have the issue fixed twice already and it was better for about 20 miles and then I have the same issue. These issues seem identical to the ones as described in the recalls for the same year make and model of my vehicle, but my specific vin is not part of the recall. I am concerned it is also part of the same issue. (It seems to have the same symptoms as the recall for the fuel pump issue or the incorrect sized pistons)
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 8, 2021
TOYOTA needs to amend their vehicle specs. The actual mileage on the car after my 4.5 years of ownership was TOTALLY different than what was claimed. Upon purchase I was able to achieve 44 mpg, and when fueling completely the remaining distance on the display read about 400 miles. Now I can only achieve 22 mpg and when fueling vehicle completely it now reads 320 miles remaining. This is a LIE and must be admitted by Toyota that it is a grim underestimate. Driver habit has nothing to do with this, I am a very careful (almost slow) driver and the fact that mileage varies this much after a few years of ownership makes no sense. I am dreading the day that this will eventually read 15 mpg on the display. At that point I am definitely selling this car and looking to another brand like Lexus. It is truly ironic how my dad owns a 2015 Tundra that still works like a pro and is able to achieve around 15 mpg consistently even after 7 years of ownership, and my mom's 2019 Sienna is now starting to struggle reaching 17 mpg after just a few years of driving. TOYOTA needs to seriously start concentrating more on vehicle/mechanism reliability instead of trying to install a million safety features (which I find for the most part unnecessary) like every other car manufacturer. What happened to the reliability that was there nearly 10 years ago? It's a shame because I am really trying to love my car and do whatever I can do make sure that it is running smoothly always but my efforts seem to be in vain all the time. My car has other issues as well besides this and at this point it's hard to believe that it will still be functioning great for another 10 years.

In dealer 2 different dealers for 2 computer failures 2x. So called repaired. Car hits the brakes by itself there is no way to turn off the radar on the front of the car. You have to remember to turn it off everytime you drive it. Then the gas pedal and brakes failed. The tow truck guy said just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to re-set the Ecu. Well he did and I had to retrain the car how to shift over several days. Good thing the failure occured at 30mph. I am selling this. I have owned Camry's since the 90's and im afraid to drive this and bought another car. Contact the next owner. Selling it as is.........

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH DURING DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2020 AND NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING IN OCTOBER 2020, BUT AS OF TODAY (FEB 21, 2021), IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE I AM DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON FEB 20, 2021, IT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IT FIRST IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM.

1. ON ENTERING FREEWAY, CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR, & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY. THEN SEEMED TO ENGAGE, ACCELERATING. 2. ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL BECAME SPONGY, CAR COASTED FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET, THEN PEDAL ENGAGED, CAR ACCELERATED. OCCURRED THREE, 3, TIMES, DIFFERENT TRIPS. 3. ON TURNING RIGHT, ON CITY STREET, ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AS THO IT WOULD STALL. WORKED ITSELF OUT AND CONTINUED W/O FURTHER TROUBLE. 4. ON TWO OCCASIONS, ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY WHEN TURNING IT ON IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WEATHER WAS WARM, NOT A FACTOR. RAN SMOOTHLY AFTER A BLOCK. GAS PEDAL AGAIN FELT SPONGY WHILE CAR RAN ROUGH. DEALER HAS STATED THAT (1) "TRY USING NAME BRAND GAS" (TRIED; NO CHANGE), (2) FOR PROBS 1 & 2 ABOVE, "IT MUST BE THE NEW TRANSMISSION." NOW RECEIVED FUEL PUMP RECALL NOTICE, BUT TOYOTA HAS "NO REMEDY AVAILABLE"?! THIS IS UNSAFE - PEASE HELP!!

RECALL #20V682 10/28/2020. WHAT HAPPENED TO RECALL #20V012 1/13/2020? TOYOTA AND THE NHTSA WERE BOTH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO 1/13/2020. I HAD READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND LOOKED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR MONTHS TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN AFFECTED. THEY CAN'T FIND A FIX IN 2 YEARS? I THINK THEY KNEW WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED. IT ALWAYS SEEMED A LITTLE OFF TO ME.

THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP WAS FIRST NOTED IN JANUARY 2020 FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. THERE IS STILL NO FIX TO THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. CONSIDER THIS AN ONLINE COMPLAINT. I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE TO FILE ONE. PUT SOME PRESSURE ON TOYOTA. HOW HARD CAN THIS BE TO REPLACE?

ON 9/29/18, I LEASED A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID FROM SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. BEGINNING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR, ON MULTIPLE, RANDOM OCCASIONS GASOLINE LEAKED OUT OF MY GAS TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT TENDS TO BE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME - AFTER WORK, WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR >8 HOURS, WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A WEEK VACATION, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD SMELL A POWERFUL ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE ME CHECK THE GAS TANK AREA. SEVERAL TIMES, I WITNESSED THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IN ALL CASES THERE WERE GASOLINE STAINS ON THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE GAS TANK. AND THE SIDE OF MY WHITE CAR HAS A PERMANENT YELLOW STREAK DOWN THE SIDE FROM THE LEAKING GAS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT, BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD BE HAPPENING WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT GOING ON ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. THEY SAID I MUST BE OVERFILLING MY GAS TANK OR NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP ENOUGH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE GAS LEAKING OUT AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT, AND I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 120 MILES SINCE MY LAST FILL UP. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THE PICTURES TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE STILL SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. FINALLY, I CALLED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE LINE AND REPORTED IT. THEY HAD ME GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS LINE WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FROM WEAR-AND-TEAR FROM FILLING THE GAS TANK, NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD <6000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LEAK WAS DETECTED). THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS (J0G) FOR "FUEL DELIVERY PIPES THAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT". I THINK MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW.

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.
