Vehicle speed control, Aug 18, 2018
SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT HESITATION. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE YOU COULD INADVERTENTLY PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER DRIVER AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT HARMS SOMEONE.

(HYBRID MOD) WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE IN MAY , THE RT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT(ODO 7,000). SEEMED TO BE NO REASON, IT JUST BLEW OUT. THEN IN JULY, AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE, THE LT REAR TIRE BLEW(ODO 12,000). ONCE AGAIN, NO REASON, JUST BLEW OUT. WE WE'RE TOLD BY FIRESTONE THAT THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED & I CAN NOT DO A WARRANTY CLAIM BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE TIRES FROM THEM, TOYOTA DID SO TOYOTA HAS TO DO THE CLAIM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THEY DO NOT WARRANTY TIRES, FIRESTONE DOES & I HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRSETONE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE STILL 2 MORE TIRES (ON THE FRONT) THAT COULD STILL BLOW OUT & CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KEEP THE TIRES TO SHOW THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OVERLY SENSITIVE. THE CAR THEN STARTED BRAKING (THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURE) WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES, PEOPLE, ANIMALS,ETC IN SIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, STRAIGHT ROADS, IN CURVES,SUNNY DAYS, RAINY DAYS,ETC. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DECIDES TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SAFETY SYSTEM WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. ALL THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COULD OFFER AS A SUGGESTION WAS TO TURN THAT FEATURE OFF! AS IF ALL THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, WHILE BACKING UP & COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP (BUT STILL IN REVERSE) THE CAR LUNGED BACK ANOTHER FOOT OR BETTER CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH A BASKETBALL POLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THAT, WHEN I PUMP FUEL NIW I HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE SO IT DOESN'T TOUCH OR LEAN AGAINST THE BOTTOM PART OF THE NECK HOLE. OTHERWISE, ANY FUEL YOU TRY TO PUT IN IT WILL FLOW RIGHT BACK OUT & RUN DOWN THE CAR TO THE GROUND. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED DEALER TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES & TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL LIKE ITHE VEHICLE IS SAFE AT THIS POINT. AFTER MONTHS OF RUN AROUND & NOT RETURNING MY CALLS, DEALER REFERRED ME TO TOYOTA TODAY.

I'VE HAD THIS 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE MAY 23, 2018 & I NOTICED NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING. I CONTACTED THE SALESMAN, THE SERVICE MANAGER, & THE SALES MANAGER & THEY ALL BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH, BUT TOLD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE WHICH IS A LIE. I LITERALLY HAVE TO MASH THE GAS DOWN HARD AND PRAY IT GOES. THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS TRANSMISSION & THEY WAY IT ACCELERATES. AT THIS MOMENT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DON'T CARE. I'M REALLY STRESSED & DISSATISFIED ABOUT HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS.
Power train, Aug 9, 2018
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AND HESITATES. WHEN NEEDING TO MAKE A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE ROLLS SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. I ALMOST GOT HIT SEVERAL TIMES
Power train, Aug 8, 2018
I BOUGHT 2018 CAMRY LE THE PROBLEM IS JERKEY SHIFTS FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND SOMETIMES IS DOSEN'T ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW DOWN IF YOU ARE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAN BE A BIG RISK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GO WHEN IT THE GAS AFTER A FEW SECONDS ITS KICKS AND GOES REALLY FAST AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW FAST IT WILL GO ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPER JURKEY IN CITY TRAFFIC. SOMETIME IF YOU PUT THE ACCELERATION IT DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD WE AND OTHER TIMES ITS ACCELERATION IS TOO FAST AND YOU CAN CRASH WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. ALSO THE GAS PEDAL IS REALLY STIFF AND IF YOU DRIVE FOR A LONG TIME YOUR FEET AND LEG GETS REALLY SORE FROM APPLYING SO MUCH PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS WOULD REFLECT THE INTERIOR VENTS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSENTHAL ACURA (623 FREDERICK RD, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879, (877) 300-4226), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
Service brakes, Aug 5, 2018
WHEN THE BRAKES ARE COLD ON MY 2018 CAMRY LE, THEY GRAB GOING FORWARD OR BACK REGARDLESS OF HOW CAREFULLY THEY ARE APPLIED. ON 10K MILE CHECK-UP THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE IT IS A COLD BRAKE PROBLEM. WILL MAKE COMPLAINT AGAIN AT 15K MILE CHECK AND GET IN WRITING THAT IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
Power train, Aug 4, 2018
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE CAR HESITATES FEELS LIKES THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OR THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AT SOME POINTS THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD CAUSING A WHIP LASH EFFECT, THE CAR NORMALS DOES THIS AT ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM 45 MILES PER HOUR UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. AT HIGHER SPEEDS SUCH AS 92 MILES PER HOUR TO BE EXACT THE CAR CONTINUES TO JUST HESITATE NON STOP AS IF IS STRUGGLING TO GO THAT SPEED?

AT AROUND 1,800 MILES, HEADLINER ABOVE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PILLAR BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY BUZZING LIKE A BEE, CAUSING DISTRACTED DRIVING, NOISE OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF ROAD SERVICE FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIMES. BUZZING NOISE MAY PERSIST FOR HOURS ON A LONG DRIVE. THE BUZZING CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE HEADLINER. AN ADDITIONAL NOISE BECAME EVIDENT SLIGHTLY LATER, THE GLOVE BOX BEGAN MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE. THE VIBRATING SOUND CAN BE STOPPED BY PRESSING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. MOST RECENTLY, THERE IS A VIBRATING NOISE COME FROM THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER PILLAR AIR BAG LOCATIONS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL IS SET ON, AND A LEADING VEHICLE IS ENGAGED BY THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL, IF THE LEADING VEHICLE TURNS OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING REAR-ENDED WHEN THERE ARE FOLLOWING VEHICLES. HAPPENS UNDER ALL ROAD CONDITIONS AND IN ALL WEATHER.

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND AND SUNROOF BLEW OUT. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5:30AM. GLASS FLEW THROUGH THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND CAUSED MINOR CUTS ON DRIVER'S HEAD AND ARMS.

THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY AND UNDER 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR HESITATES AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IF WILL FINALLY GO WITH A JERKING TO THE PASSENGERS. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO LACK THE POWER TO PASS ANYONE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE ALSO. WHEN MOVING INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THE CAR WOULD ALSO FEEL AS IF IT WERE JERKING INTO GEARS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON COLD STARTS BUT WAS DEFINITELY STILL A PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING AND HAVING TIME TO WARM UP.
Service brakes, Jul 20, 2018
MY BRAKES GRAB AND JERK AT LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M BACKING UP OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE AND THE ISSUE IS NORMAL. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. I NOTICED VIA AN ONLINE SEARCH; THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO REMEDY OFFERED FROM TOYOTA.

AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES VERY POOR AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL IT WOULD DROP SPEED FOR NO REASON.

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, SYSTEM STAYS ON SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IN BLIND SPOT PASSES AWAY, ALERT STILL STAYS ON CREATING CONFUSION AND POTENTIAL HAZARD DURING LANE CHANGING. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO PROOF OF THE SAME.
Power train, Jul 15, 2018
VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO PICK AND WHEN TO ENGAGE IT RESULTING IN A SECOND OR TWO OF DEAD ACCELERATION. ONCE VEHICLE DECIDES WHAT TO DO, IT SENDS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RATES. THIS MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING FOR A YIELD AND THEN GOING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL, MOST LIKELY DUE TO POOR TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS FIRST BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2017....HAS NEARLY 8000 MILES AS OF JULY 18 AND STILL AN ISSUE.

I BOUGHT A 2018 TOYOYA CAMRY SE IN APRIL AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. THE ETUNE RADIO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH MY PHONE. I HAVE TO RECONNECT MY PHONE TO THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING TO GET MY MUSIC TO PLAY AFTER A PHONE CALL. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T COOL PROPERLY, AT TIMES I HAVE TO SET IT ON "LOW" IN ORDER TO GET IT TO COOL. OTHER TIMES, I CAN HAVE IT SET ON 80 AND IT COOLS. WHEN I PARK MY CAR AND GET OUT, I CAN SMELL RADIATOR FLUID. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T' WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR TAKES OFF SMOOTH, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. THERE IS A GAP IN TIME BETWEEN ME PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TAKING OFF.

COLLISION DETECTION ENGAGES WHEN NO ONE CLOSE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. OUR 2018 CAMRY ENGAGED THE COLLISION DETECTION AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON I-85 IN ATLANTA AND ABOUT WRECKED US. NO ONE WAS EVEN CLOSE TO THE FRONT THE VEHICLE OR STOPPING OR STOPPED AND IT LOCKED THE BRAKES UP SOLID FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS. THE VEHICLES BEHIND US ALMOST REAR ENDED US FROM IT ENGAGING WITHOUT WARNING. IT SCARED THE LIVING PISS OUT MY WIFE AND I. WE WONT EVEN DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE ANY MORE OR CLOSELY FOLLOW SOMEONE. THE VEHICLE NEEDS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN IT. I'M JUST REPORTING IT NOW BECAUSE I BEEN GIVEN THIS WEBSITE BY A LAWYER.

4-CYLINDER XSE HAS SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAY AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL; THIS IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. OCCASIONALLY, THE GEAR WILL ALSO SHIFT ABRUPTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 15-25 MPH, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS; IF THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE OF CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT.

2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEMS. THIS INVOLVES A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTING THAT I HAVE FOUND ON 3 OCCASIONS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. UPON COMPLETING A TURN AND REAPPLYING GAS PEDAL THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN NEUTRAL OR STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD A DEAD GAS PEDAL FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS. ON 1 OCCASION I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE LEMON LAW COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE INVOLVING THIS CAR AND IT'S TRANSMISSION.

I OVERALL LOVE MY NEW CAMRY XSE EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS: 1-THE FEEDBACK ON THE HANDS FREE PHONE IS SO BAD NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME HANDS FREE EXCEPT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A HORRIBLE ECHO THAT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE PERSON CALLING ME TO HEAR ME. THEY STATE ALL THEY CAN HEAR PRIMARILY IS THE ECHO OF THEIR OWN VOICE. WHEN AN ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM-WHICH IS MEANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING-THAT YOU NEVER USE IT, IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM ALMOST EVERYONE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. 2-ABOUT 1 OUT OF 20 TIMES I GET A CALL, IT COMES THROUGH WITH A VERY STRANGE RINGING SOUND THAT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I STOP THE CAR & TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN ATTACH A VIDEO HERE BUT I DO HAVE IT) AND I ALSO CANNOT ANSWER THE CALL AT ALL-IT WILL RING NONSTOP FOR OVER 30 MINUTES IF I DON'T PULL OVER AND STOP/RESTART MY CAR. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING CONSIDERING THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR, I DIDN'T EXCEPT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.
