MY VEHICLE WILL STALL AND STOPS RANDOMLY. IT IS LOSING POWER AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. A FEW TIMES IT LOSE POWER TEMPORARY WHILE IN MOTION. IT KEEP SHOWING "CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND STOP IN A SAFE PLACE" MESSAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE WHOLE THING REPEATS A DAY OR TWO LATER. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY CONCLUDED THE CAR IS ALRIGHT SINCE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE AND THE CAR KEEPS UNSAFE STOPPING. MY VEHICLE PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF JANUARY 13TH 2020 "FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL RECALL" NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 20V012000.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 5, 2020
I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU QUEUE AT BURGER KING AND I HAD THE BRAKE HOLD ACTIVATED, WAITING FOR MY TURN. THE CAR JUST VIBRATED AND SHUT DOWN. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN IT NEVER STARTED. ON THE DASH IT SAID COOLANT TEMP HIGH, CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, DRIVE START CONTROL MALFUNCTION,BRAKE OVERRIDE MALFUNCTION. I THOUGHT I NEEDED ANTIFREEZE SO I WALKED TO SUNOKO TO BUY ONE. TRIED TO PUT SOME IN BUT ANTIFREEZE WAS FULL SO I COULDN'T TOP UP. THE ANTIFREEZE IS IN THE TRUNK. I TRIED TO GET A JUMP THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT IT STILL DIDN'T START. I TOWED TO TOYOTA AND NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT COMMUNICATING RIGHT WITH EACH OTHER. MY GAS SAYS 65535MI DISTANCE TO EMPTY. MY CAR IS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER CAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE WARRANTY ON IT.
Power train, Oct 4, 2020
I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN (FROM A STOP SIGN) OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CAR HESITATED THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REV'D UP, AND SHOT FORWARD. I'M SURE THE NEIGHBORS THOUGHT I WAS HOT RODDING. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A SEPARATE DAY WHEN I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS A PICKUP TRUCK COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, BUT HE WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY, SO I GAVE IT SOME GAS TO START MY TURN. MY CAR HESITATED AND I THOUGHT THE PICKUP WAS GOING TO HIT ME, BUT THEN MY CAR REV'D UP AND LUNGED FORWARD AS PREVIOUSLY. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MAKING LEFT TURNS, BUT ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A 45 MPH LEVEL ROAD AND I GAVE IT GAS TO INCREASE MY SPEED TO 45 ---- THE SAME THING HAPPENED ---- HESITATION, REV'D UP, LUNGED FORWARD. IT STILL DOES IT, BUT I'M TRYING TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT TRAFFIC FATALITY, OR WORSE, CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO BE KILLED OR MAIMED. I ALSO TOLD THE SERVICE REP WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHECK IT. HE TOLD ME THEY HAD CHECKED IT AND IT'S OKAY. I LOOKED AT THE SERVICE REPORT BUT, I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THEY HAD CHECKED IT. I STARTED LOOKING FOR INFO VIA THE INTERNET ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER SITES THAT HAD PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. SO, THE NEXT REGULAR MAINTENANCE I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR, I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE REP AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM OF HESITATION, ETC. I SAID IT SEEMS THAT IT MUST BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND THAT'S WHY THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS OKAY. HE AGREED THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS CAR, BUT I HAVE NOTHING IN WRITING THAT HE SAID THAT OR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EVEN CHECKED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IN ALL THREE DRIVING MODES. CHECK: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-M7_DS895703

Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 23, 2020
MY VEHICLE HAS 24K MILES ON IT AND I AM STARTING TO FREQUENTLY NOTICE THAT WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT THE CAR HESITATES AND IT TAKES IT A FEW SECONDS TO GO FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THIS IS NORMAL AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I EVER NEEDED TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.
Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 19, 2020
MY CAR WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY IT STALLED AND JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE DESPITE ME PRESSING THE GAS AND CONTINUES TO DECELERATE. IT STARTED VIBRATING AND I HAD TO PARK BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TURNED ON. THEN I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE JUST TO GET AN ERROR CODE, THEN I TOOK THE RESULT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME I HAVE A GAS PUMP FAILURE. WE BOTH DID OUR RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT CARS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SAME MONTH AND YEAR (OCTOBER 2018) TOYOTA CAMRY WERE RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE ONLY 16,000 MILEAGE AND A YEAR OLD.BUT THEY WOULDN'T ADDRESS MY CONCERN, JUST BECAUSE MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST.

APPLE CAR PLAY FREEZES. TOP OF THE SCREEN IS THE ONLY THING VISIBLE. THE BOTTOM HALF OF SCREEN IS BLACK. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JULY 2018 . I HAVE A 2019 SE AND TOYOTA KEEPS A SAYING IT'S THE IPHONE. I HAVE HAD THE XR AND THE SE CURRENTLY. I HAVE DONE A HARD RESET MYSELF WITH CORPORATE AS WELL.AFTER OVER 15 VISITS TO TOYOTA THEY REPLACED THE RADIO. UNFORTUNATELY IT'S STILL FREEZING.

AT NIGHT,ESPECIALLY ON A VERY DARK ROAD, MY HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE LOW BEAM MODE, SEVERELY RESTRICT MY VISION. I CAN ONLY VIEW THE ROAD BY LOOKING THROUGH THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE VIEW THROUGH THE UPPER PART IS TOTALLY DARK AS IF OBSTRUCTED BY AN OBJECT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT PLACES MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED BY OTHERS ONLINE AND I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE FACT THAT NHTSA HAS NOT INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM NOR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION TO CORRECT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND SHUT-OFF HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARIBBEAN AUTO MART (4523 ESTATE CHARLOTTE AMALIE, ST THOMAS 00802, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS, 1(340)777-7600) AND DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.*DT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED 15 DAYS LATER BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT CHANGE ALL THE RECALL PARTS. THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL THE CUSTOMERS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS BY TYPICALLY IGNORING THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMING THEN ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THESE RECALL AND FAILED PARTS. IT IS POSSIBLE WE ARE BEING DISENFRANCHISE AND NEED TO BE PROTECTED UNDER THE ANTITRUST LAWS. THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP CONTROLS MORE THAN 85% OF THE MARKET, WHICH MIGHT BE A VIOLATION OF ANTITRUST LAWS.*JB

MY CAR, SINCE THE PURCHASE AT 51 MILES, IS CONSTANTLY NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I PUSH THE GAS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ALLEN TOYOTA, 11 JULY 2020, WHERE THEY STATED THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CALIBRATION. THE CALIBRATION WAS COMPLETED, BUT THE CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN PARK AND STATIONARY FOR A FEW HOURS, IT IS AWFUL WHEN TAKING OFF BECAUSE THE CAR JERKS AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL TURN OFF. THE CAR NOW IS JERKING WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH DAILY. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE CAR TO SPEEDUP WHEN AND AS NEEDED AND I'M AFRAID IT MY STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

LCD DISPLAY SHOWING -CHECK ENGINE -PRE COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING - SECONDARY COLLISION BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING -DRIVE START CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING SEVERAL WARNING SIGNS ON RPM DISPLAY
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.

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH AC ON IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, IF CHANGING TO A FASTER LANE, HAVING THE GAS FLOORED, THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/DOWN SHIFT THAT LASTED ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE IT ACCELERATED. ONE TIME, A CAR THAT WAS TWO CARS IN FRONT OF ME PULLED OUT AND HE WAS GONE, WHILE I WAS STILL SITTING THERE WITH NO ACCELERATION AND ANOTHER CAR QUICKLY APPROACHING FROM THE REAR! I WAS TOLD THAT OTHERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE ISSUES, THEY FELT THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NORMAL OPERATIONS FOR THE 4 CYL CAMRY'S, THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED, AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL TOYOTA PUT OUT A MOD FOR THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING OUT SOON WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND NO REPAIR AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON SIDE THE ROAD TO PREVENT FROM GETTING HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER FROM THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE A WHILE LONGER BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED HAVING MANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 2019 CAMRY. ON THE DATE OF JUNE 29TH REPAIR APPOINTMENT, THEY REPORTED THEY FUEL PUMP IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL JULY 22ND, 2020 DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THAT DEFECT. HOWEVER, THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD BE COVERED. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO PRIVATELY RENT A VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING OFFERED A LOANER CAR OR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS. I HAD TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY 1,000 IN EXPENSES TO COVER THE COST OF NOT HAVING A VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN A REMOTE AREA FAR FROM HOME AND WORK. MY DISABLED MOTHER HAD TO BOOK A HOTEL TO CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH MY FATHER. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS WITH 29,000 MILES. WHEN I PLACED MY VIN NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM, MY VEHICLE WASN'T IDENTIFIED OR QUALIFIED AS A RECALL IN THE SYSTEM DESPITE THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMING THEIR WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VEHICLE DEFECT MATCHING ONE OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS RELATED TO THE TOYOTA CAMRY. BASED ON MY VIN #, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS, WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL OFFICE, THEY REPORTED MY VEHICLE DIDN'T MEET RECALL STANDARDS .THE KELLY BLUE BOOK REPORTED 5 DIFFERENT RECALLS AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS IN RELATION TO THE 2019 CAMRY. I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP DEFECT/SYMPTOMS MATCHED WITH MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS.

I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY I WAS NEAR AN AUTOZONE.
