OFTEN DURING ACCELERATION, MY CAR SEEMS TO SPUTTER OR MISFIRE. WHEN TAKING OFF THERE SEEMS TO BE, AS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT, AN AIR BUBBLE IN THE FUEL LINE. KINDA LIKE FUEL ISN'T CONSTANTLY BEING FED TO THE ENGINE. THERE ARE GAPS. WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CAR ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, TAKES OFF AS IF ITS PLAYING CATCH UP. ALTHOUGH THERE ISN'T AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY CAR, I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP.

I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND IS REALLY BAD. DEALER SAID HE'S AWARE BUY TOYOTA ISNT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND IT PASSES THE SOFTWARE TESTS. I READ ONLINE AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A WEEK OLD... I REALLY HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THIS AND MAKE.TOYOTA FIX THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTING; WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND REALLY ANY TIME I PRESS THE GAS.

I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY AND ON MY FIRST WEEK AFTER BUYING IT, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S A MAJOR ACCELERATION DELAY THAT I COULDN'T BEAR ANYMORE. 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. I HOPE TOYOTA WILL FIX THIS BECAUSE IT'S MAKING US CONSUMERS VERY FRUSTRATED.

WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR IN THE MORNINGS,LET RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES,AND DRIVE OFF ABOUT HALF A BLOCK,STOP AT INTERSECTION AND PROCEED,THE CAR WILL HESITATE,DIE DOWN IF IT FLOODS OUT AND THEN IT WILL PICK UP,DURING THIS HESITATION,I COULD IN THE INTERSECTION AND WITH TRAFFIC COMING,I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WILL STOP OR GO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AS MOST SAY,WELL WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM,IT ONLY SEEMS THAT THE CAR ONLY DOES THIS,AFTER A FIVE MINUTE WARM UP AND DRIVE ABOUT A BLOCK.THIS PROBLEM SO FAR HAS ONLY HAPPEN 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR ALSO,2018,BOUGHT IN 2018-FEB AND I ONLY HAVE 5600 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES,NOT ALL THE TIME,BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER

Vehicle speed control, Jan 15, 2020
WHEN DRIVING WITH THE PRE COLLUSION SYSTEM CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED THE CAR SLAMS ON IT'S BRAKES DROPPING UP TO 19 MPH INSTANTLY AND CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PER TOYOTA. IT ALMOST GOT ME RUN OVER BY A SEMI. I FILED VIA THE TOYOTA LEMON LAW WEBSITE TO NO AVAIL. IN 2018 THE PRE-COLLUSION SENSOR WAS TIED INTO THE PEDESTRIAN SENSOR. HENCE AT TIMES WHEN SENSING PERIPHERY IT SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. TOYOTA HAS 71 DISCLAIMERS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, BUT ALMOST EVERY TOYOTA SINCE 1018 HAS THIS DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY. SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND MY SALESMAN TOLD ME TO USE THE ALTERNATE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE IT HAPPENED TO HIM ALSO. I WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME BY TWO OF THEIR OTHER EMPLOYEES. THIS SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS. IT TYPICALLY ACTIVATED WHEN COMING UPON THE QUARTER PANEL OF ANOTHER CAN AND AT TIMES WHEN IT'S ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOME OF THE DISCLAIMERS STATE: "SNOW COMING OFF THE CAR IN FRONT, SIGNS, OTHER CARS, METAL IN THE ROAD" AND SO ON. TOYOTA EXUDES INDIFFERENCE AND INSULTS ME UPON INVESTIGATING THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. I EMAILED 114 NEWSPAPERS NATIONWIDE, BUT DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE PUBLISHED. I'VE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT HAPPENS BOTH ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AROUND OCT 1, 2018. TO MAKE THINGS MORE FRUSTRATING TWICE STATED THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR NO REASON. I DOUBT THAT ANYONE CARES, BUT I WARN YOU: DO NOT FOLLOW NEWER MODEL TOYOTA VEHICLES CLOSELY AS EXCEPT FOR THE RAV4 THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY PER TOYOTA. TWICE TOYOTA INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THAT MY FRIENDS IS AN IGNORANT STATEMENT. NO CAR IS DESIGNED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD. MINE HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 50 TIMES, BUT THERE SOFTWARE DOESN'T REVEAL THAT SO IT ALSO IS DEFICIENT.

IN DEEP WHITE SANDS DESERT CAR KEYS LOCKED INSIDE THE TRUNK. AFTER OPTING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR USING THE HANGER ANCHOR METHOD WHOLE CAR COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WENT DOWN AND THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THEN TRUNK FROM INSIDE THE CAR. 2018 CAMRY HAS NO LEVER ANY PULL-DOWN SEATS TO OPEN THE TRUNK. PARK RANGER TOOK ME TO THE NEAREST TOWN TOYOTA DEALERSHIP(DESERT SUN TOYOTA,3333 N WHITE SANDS BLVD, ALAMOGORDO, NM 88310), THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO CUT THE NEW LASER KEY THEY WERE NOT EVEN AWARE 2018 YOU CAN'T OPEN THE TRUNK BY A LEVER OR PULLING DOWN SEATS. IT WAS COLD AND DARK AND FAMILY WITH KIDS SITTING IN THE DUNES ALONE WHILE I WAS WORKING WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW KEYS. AFTER DOING ALL BRAINSTORMING THE LAST SOLUTION CAME TO ME WAS MAKE A HOLE BEHIND NUMBER PLATE TO OPEN THE TRUNK LATCH. A GOOD MAN AGREED TO COME TO THE PARK AND OPEN THE TRUNK BY DRILLING THE HOLE. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY FAMILY SAFE. AFTER REACHING DALLAS (MY HOME) I SENT AN EMAIL TO TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA CEO JAMES ABOUT THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND HIS OFFICE CALLED ME AFTER THE EMAIL BUT NOT ACCEPTING THIS AS A DEFECT AND DENIED TO HELP ME TO FIX MY HOLEY CAR. THE 6 HRS I SPENT WITH FAMILY TO JUST OPEN THE TRUNK IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE 2018 CAMRY. THIS IS VERY COMMON TO LOSE KEYS WHILE TAKING STUFF OUT OF THE TRUNK. IF THE HAPPENS ON NOWHERE LANDS AND NO CELL PHONE SIGNALS THEN IT IS DANGEROUS.

Power train, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 24, 2019
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN AND IS ALWAYS SEARCHING. SO MUCH SO THAT IT WILL LUNGE AT TIMES WHEN ALL YOU ARE TRYING TO DO IS ACCELERATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN SLOWLY APPLYING GAS AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS AND THEN IT SURGES AND CAUSES MY HEAD TO SLAM INTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REST. ALSO WHILE IDLING THE VEHICLE IS DECENTLY LOUD, MORE SO WHEN DEFROSTER IS ENGAGED. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IT TENDS TO DO BETTER, BUT MOST ISSUES APPEAR TO BE IN CITY DAY TO DAY DRIVING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/ OR FUEL SYSTEM.

I HAVE TWO PROBLEM WITH MY NEW CAR: 1) I HAVE A MOLDY ODOR COMING FROM OUT AC SYSTEM WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE NEW CAR, AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I COULD FLUSH THE AC SYSTEM AND INSTALL A CHARCOAL CABIN FILTER, BUT THERE IS NO PERMANENT SOLUTION TO FIXING THE ODOR COMING FROM THE CAR. 2) MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP TO CHANGE LINES ON A FREEWAY OR MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY AND NEED TO ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, MY ENGINE REVS BUT DOESN'T RESPOND FOR 3-5 SECONDS. THIS BECOMES REALLY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT'S USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I'M SPEEDING UP TO MERGE OR CHANGE LANES.

WE MET WITH A CAR ACCIDENT ON 11/11/2019 MORNING. OUR CAR GOT BADLY HIT ON THE FRONT SIDE AND HAS BEEN DECLARED TOTALED BY INSURANCE. VIN [XXX]. THIS IS A TOYOTA CAMRY 2018. THE MAIN REASON WE WENT WITH THIS CAR IS THE SAFETY THAT WAS ADVERTISED. HOWEVER, DURING THIS CRASH NONE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM THE CAR AND HELPED MY WIFE (THE DRIVER) FROM GETTING THE SHOCK. SHE ALSO GOT NECK STRAIN DURING THIS INCIDENT. IF THIS DUE TO THE FAULTY AIR BAG, IT MAKES ME ANNOYED AS MY 8 YEAR SON WAS ALSO ON THE CAR WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. IT MAKES ME WONDER WHETHER THIS CAR IS REALLY THAT SAFE AS IT IS GETTING ADVERTISED AND REQUIRE YOU HELP IN REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE NEXT STEPS.
