Representative owner complaints: vehicle speed control
22 reports, newest first. Show all
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Engine, Aug 14, 2026
The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact stated that the pre-collision, secondary brake, lane departure, and engine warning lights were illuminated and flashed on and off. The vehicle was restarted after depressing the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle stalled shortly afterwards. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jul 1, 2026
My vehicle completely lost power and stalled on the freeway, requiring a tow. A Toyota dealership has diagnosed it with a total internal failure of the UA80 transmission and quoted me $9,000. This vehicle has been properly maintained, including a documented transmission fluid service at a Toyota facility in March of this year. A modern powertrain should not suffer a life-threatening failure at 130,000 miles. Because of this severe safety defect and my documented maintenance history, I am requesting a Corporate Goodwill Accommodation to cover or significantly cost-share this replacement.
Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Forward collision avoidance, Jun 19, 2026
At approximately 93,000 miles, my vehicle experienced a sudden transmission malfunction. About one week before the failure, intermittent warning messages appeared for Emergency Braking Malfunction and Forward Collision Warning Malfunction. These warnings appeared and disappeared several times over multiple days. About three days before the major transmission issues began, the vehicle was taken to an authorized Toyota dealership in North Brunswick, New Jersey, for a routine oil change. At that time, the vehicle was operating normally, and no transmission-related issues were reported. 3 days later, the warning messages returned, and the check engine light came on. Around the same time, the vehicle began experiencing serious transmission problems, including delayed shifting, harsh gear changes, and RPM flare-ups without corresponding acceleration. These issues created a serious safety risk because the vehicle could hesitate or fail to accelerate properly when merging into traffic, turning at intersections, or attempting to avoid hazards. The unpredictable shifting and loss of power increased the risk of a collision. After the check engine light appeared, the vehicle was returned to the same Toyota dealership. The dealership performed diagnostic testing and identified internal transmission and transmission control system faults, including solenoid-related failures and torque converter clutch issues. The dealership determined that the transmission requires full replacement and provided a repair estimate of approximately $12,000. The vehicle has no known prior accident damage related to this issue. there are numerous consumer complaints involving similar transmission problems in 2018–2019 Toyota Camry vehicles equipped with the 8-speed automatic transmission. I am filing this complaint because this failure occurred at relatively low mileage for a Toyota vehicle and presents a significant safety concern due to unpredictable power delivery and loss of acceleration.
Vehicle speed control, Apr 7, 2024, crash
On March 13th, 2024, while pulling into the driveway and lightly accelerating due to the slight incline of the driveway, the accelerator pedal fell from under my foot. The car accelerated hard, plowing through the garage door, a washer/dryer unit, a storage rack and into the back wall of the garage. The car bounced back but was still accelerating, leaving marks from the tire spinning in the garage. The brakes were ineffective in stopping the vehicle. After hitting the wall I was able to shut the car off using the key. The airbags did not deploy. Note: The car has molded OEM floormats that were secure at the time of the accident. The vehicle was towed to a body shop and the insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss.

The vehicle is a 2019 Toyota Camry XSE V6. It currently has 27,000 miles on it. On May 2, 2022 while crossing a busy 4 way intersection (35 mph) the car began to stall. The engine started to shake, impacting the ability to steer the car, the vehicle would not accelerate and nearly all of the dashboard lights turned on. It was taken to the dealership on May 3rd where a mechanic said a rock may have hit a sensor underneath the vehicle but that everything was fine. On May 4th while driving on the highway the same thing happened again. This time going around 65 mph. It was brought back to the dealership where they said it was a faulty ignition coil but that there were no OEM parts available and it was backordered with no ETA o repair. They advised to leave the vehicle as it was unsafe to drive. I asked why they didn't make me aware of it when it was brought in the day before and that they needed to fix it. I called Toyota Corporate and about an hour later the dealership let me know they would repair it with an aftermarket part. They commented that ignition coils normally do not go out in vehicles under 100K but it has been seen frequently on the 2019 Camry XSE V6 by the technicians. On May 6th the dealership claimed the vehicle was repaired. Driving back from the dealership on a local road (40mph) the same thing happened again. Dashboard lights turning on. Engine shaking the steering wheel. Car unable to accelerate. It was then taken back to the dealership again the same day. The dealership claimed to repair 2 ignition coils and that it should be fine. On May 11th the vehicle stalled again while driving on local roads (about 30 mph). It was again taken to the dealer where they claimed all 6 coils needed to be replaced at cost. I refused and claimed they needed to repair and left. On June 10th while driving on the highway (70mph) the same thing happened again. It was taken to another dealership. 3 coils replaced on 6/25. On 6/29 the same thing happened again
Steering, Vehicle speed control, May 4, 2022
I’m having problems with accelerating and jerking. I bought the car about 2 months ago and had to take it back to the dealer for jerking. They changed the tires and it helped with the jerk, but it still vibrates when it turns on. It also very slow when I accelerate. It can be dangerous when I’m turning in a intersection or freeway.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Feb 26, 2022
Firstly I have experienced some weird behavior when accelerating from a stop and the vehicle quickly ramped up the rpm over 5k without shifting at all until correcting itself at the speed I was desiring. I wasn't stepping hard on the pedal at all and was just trying to get to 30 mph. Additionally I experienced some hard shifting when accelerating abruptly as well. Making the acceleration not very smooth when passing someone in high speed traffic.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 14, 2021
INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR WILL LURCH AHEAD. THIS IS UPON START FROM A STANDING START AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING. OUR SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BUT THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT THIS WAY BEFORE AND I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 22, 2021
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (ABOUT 3-4 TIMES A WEEK) WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE THE ENGINE STALLS AND I HAVE TO RETRY AT LEAST TWICE FOR MY CAR TO START. AT RED LIGHTS THE VEHICLE LAGS AND TAKES A MOMENT TO PICK UP SPEED. OFTEN IN A JERKING MOTION. WHEN ACCELERATING TO SPEEDS ABOVE 20-80 MPH THE STALLING STARTS AGAIN AND DOES NOT FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING. WE NOTIFIED OUR DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE WHEN GETTING SERVICED AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON WHY IT WAS DOING THIS. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE DECEMBER 2019 AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. ONCE WE RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WE REQUESTED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE OUR CAR IN FOR THE RECALL FUEL PUMP AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE OUR CAR AND ADVISED US TO GO TO OTHER TOYOTA/ LEXUS DEALERSHIPS. THE OTHER TOYOTA/LEXUS DEALERSHIPS TOLD US TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WERE WE GET ARE CAR SERVICED AT HAVE THEM TAKE OUR CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WHEN WE WENT TO THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED OUR CAR FROM, THEY STILL REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL SINCE WE EXPLAINED THEM HOW UNSAFE THE CAR IS WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE TRIED EMAILING AND DO NOT GET ANY RESPONSES. WE ALSO TRIED CALLING TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER BUT NONE OF THE MANAGERS HAVE TAKEN OUR CALLS OR TRIED TO CALL US BACK.

THE VEHICLE STALLS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO SWITCH LANES WHILE BEING AT A STOP AND BEING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE NOVEMBER AND MY REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.
Vehicle speed control, Other or unspecified, Aug 12, 2020
WHILE DRIVING I SLOWED DOWN DUE TO A CAR BEING IN FRONT OF ME BUT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED OR ACCELERATE. MY CAR HAS 24,000 MILES AND HAVE NOTICED A HESITATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR 6,000 MILES BUT RECENTLY AT 24,000 MILES 1 INSTANCE OF STALLING
Air bags, Seat belts, Vehicle speed control, Jul 13, 2020
THE FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR HAS ACCELERATION DELAYS, IT BUCKS AND LAGS WHEN SWITCHING LANES AND DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ACCELERATION DELAYS WHEN MAKING A LEFT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS, I RECEIVED A VEHICLE ALERT MESSAGE ON MAY 30TH AT 10:30AM REGARDING THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM. "A MALFUNCTION IN THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS BEEN DETECTED. CONTACT YOUR TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTED." THE AIRBAG CHECK LIGHT NEVER LIGHTED SO I DIDN'T SEE THIS MESSAGE UNTIL A MONTH IN A HALF LATER. DANGEROUS FOR MY PASSENGER WHICH IS USUALLY MY OLDEST SON. THE CAR IS IN THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE AIRBAG ISSUE. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR DUE TO ACCELERATION DELAYS. THE VIN# IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT. IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER CARS BEING RECALLED. THE THIRD PROBLEM: VERY RANDOMLY THE SEAT BELT ALERT ALARM WILL START BEEPING WHILE I'M DRIVING MY SMALLEST SON. BOTH OF US HAVE OUR SEAT BELTS AND I DO NOT OWN A BIG HEAVY BAG. THE CAR WONT STOP UNTIL I PULL OVER, PARK, TURN IT OFF AND ON. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BUT IT HAPPENS VERY RANDOMLY.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 5, 2020
WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN A CAR PASSES YOU WHEN IT CHANGES LANES IN FRONT OF YOU IT DECREASES THE SPEED FROM 68 MPH TO AN ABRUPT 57 MPH EVEN WHEN I HAVE 6 TO 7 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN THIS OCCURS.I STOPPED USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF A CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TO CLOSE AND WOULD CRASH INTO MY REAR OF MY VEHICLE
Vehicle speed control, Jan 16, 2020
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2019 CAMRY SE. WHEN I AM ON A COMPLETE STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO OR UNDER 6 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN SPEED, THE CAR TAKES A SECOND OR TWO TO RESPOND. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON A COMPLETE STOP AND THERE IS A LOT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC.
Vehicle speed control, Jan 15, 2020
MY 2019 CAMERY COMPLETELY STALLS AT TAKE OFF. YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT STALLS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THINGS ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR IN THE FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE. I HAVE DROVE PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAD A ACCELERATION ISSUE. THIS DOES IT AT A FULL STOP IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET GOING ON THE TAKE OFF. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AS I HAVE READ UP ON IT AND LIVING PROOF MY CAR DOES IT AS WELL. I HAVE WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS A ISSUE, BUT CAN'T WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NEEDS TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WHICH I AGREED; HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SAY IT'S FINE. THIS IS VERY AWFUL.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jun 7, 2019
PURCHASED MY 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK WITH 5 MILES ON IT. NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN RESUMING TO DRIVE FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR SEEM TO HAVE A MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND MAKES A LOUD ENGINE NOISE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. EVEN PRESSING DOWN A BIT MORE ON THE GAS PEDAL DURING THIS INITIAL ACCELERATION, THE CAR DOES NOT REACT MUCH AND BARELY PICKS UP SPEED. THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY, ONE THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED TO AVOID BEING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. HAVE NOT TAKEN VEHICLE BACK TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER BUT DID TEXT MY SALESMAN AND DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AND HE SAID TO SETUP AN APPOINTMENT. I HAVE A FEELING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL COME BACK SAYING IT'S NOTHING IS WRONG AND FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS SAFETY CONCERNS TIED TO IT. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. NEED TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE.*DT
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Jun 5, 2019
THE CAR HAS AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND. WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL THE CAR BRIEFLY ACCELERATES AND THEN THE RPM DROPS AND THE CAR ALMOST DECELERATES. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN THE CAR STARTS TO JERK BACK AND FORTH UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE PROBLEM IS VERY REPRODUCIBLE AND MY SALES MANAGERS AT TOYOTA SUNNYVALE WERE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THEY EVEN CLAIMED TO HAVE DRIVEN A NUMBER OF OTHER SIMILAR CARS AND TOLD ME THAT ALL OF THEM HAVE THIS "NORMAL" BEHAVIOR (WHICH CONFIRMS THAT A LOT OF CARS SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM). THEY ALSO SAID THE CAR IS "LEARNING", WHICH IS TOTALLY BOGUS. AFTER APPROACHING THEM WITH SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0330-17 WHICH DESCRIBES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT FOR 2018 MODEL, THEY CLAIMED MY CAR CAN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM SINCE BULLETIN IS FOR 2018, BUT THE CARS HAVE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSIONS.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 25, 2019
WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE STALLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH VEHICLE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ITS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN YOU SLOW AT INTERSECTIONS OR FOR A TURN AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT PAUSES AS IF THE ENGINE HAS DIED BUT ENGINE IS RUNNING, JUST NO RESPONSE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONE TIME WHILE TRYING TO PAS A SLOW TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, PULLED OUT TO PASS AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE JUST STALL AS IF ENGINE HAD STOPPED AND WAS LEFT IN ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, VERY SCARY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCURATE. VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST IMPACTED REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC BUT VEHICLE STALLED. BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST TEN OR MORE TIMES WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.
