SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL, THE CAMRY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY PRESSED. AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE CAMRY WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL AT WHAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE MOVEMENT OF THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ALSO PUT IN PLACE. THE CAMRY ROLLED DOWN THE ENTIRE HILL AND STOPPED WHEN THE BACK TIRE HIT THE CURB. THE CAR WAS STILL ON AND IN DRIVE MODE. WE DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ANY OTHER CARS BECAUSE MOST WERE OFF THE STREET. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FORTUNATELY, WE COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE. THIS TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET. THE HILL IS VERY WALKABLE. THE FACT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED IS ALARMING FOR A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OF USE. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARD WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED, IT SHOWED A CAR FAILURE NOTICE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA AND REMAINS WITH THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. .

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR DOES NOT SHIFT THE WAY IT SHOULD. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE DECIDING WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN AND THE SHIFT POINTS ARE TOO HIGH ESPECIALLY WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. THERE IS SOME SERIOUS HESITATION THAT SHOULD NOT BE PRESENT. ALSO, WHEN DOWNSHIFTING IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE IT SLOWS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. IF A CAR BRAKES IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN GET BACK ON THE GAS TO SPEED BACK UP IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR THE CAR TO GET UP TO SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED ON SIDE STREETS AS I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY YET.

ENGINE
I RENTED A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY FOR 9 DAYS. MANY TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING THE ENGINE LOST POWER. IT WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TURNS IN FRONT OF ONGOING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WOULD START TO GO THEN JUST SEEM TO DIE AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN. THEN ENGINE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD JUST START COASTING. THE CAR NEVER STALLED IT JUST WOULD NOT GO. I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY TO NOT THINK I COULD MAKE A TURN INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SAFELY UNLESS I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO COAST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. ALSO IT IWAS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAMRY'S BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR, AT LEAST, A INVSTIGATION STARTED BY NHTSA.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2019 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FEBRUARY. I'VE NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HESITATE AND JERK WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GIVING THE VEHICLE GAS, IT CAUSES THE RPMS TO SHOOT UP AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE A VEHICLE OR ANYTHING IN FRONT OF IT. IT IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IN EITHER SITUATION THE VEHICLE IS HESITATING AND JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING. IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE IT CAN CAUSE A COLLISION.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY CLUNKY THRU THE GEARS. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC, SOMETIMES ITS DELAYED WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ITLL HESITATE BEFORE TAKING OFF. IV FOUND IF YOU PULSE THE GAS PEDDLE AND LET UP RIGHT AS IT STARTS TO HESITATE THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN ITLL KINDA AVOID IT BUT I'M NOT ALWAYS SUCH AN ACTIVE DRIVER. EVEN DOWN SHIFTING ITLL BE CLUNKY AND TAKE A SEC TO FULLY DO IT. LIKE IF YOU PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY THAT'S SLANTED UP YOU FIRST OF ALL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ENTER AND WHEN DOING THAT IT'S ALL SLOW AT DOWN SHIFTING THEN U GOTTA HIT THE GAS SOME TO GO UP THE DRIVEWAY AND IT'S ALL DELAYED AT ACCELERATING SO THE WHOLE PROCESS IS JUST CLUNKY AND DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT. MAKES ME FEEL THE TRANSMISSION IS GONNA BURN OUT EARLY. THEY SAY THE 2018 MODELS AND UP USE SOME COMPUTERIZED TRANSMISSION...I JUST WANT TO IT RESPOND ACCORDINGLY AND TO NOT BE SO SLUGGISH ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES I'M SCARED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT WONT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY AND I'LL BE AT A CRAWLING SPEED TILL IT RESPONDS UNLESS I FLOOR IT FAST AND LET UP BEFORE IT REVS PAST 3 ON THE RPM THEN TAP IT AGAIN. IT'S LIKE IT WAKES IT UP OR SOMETHING I DONT UNDERSTAND.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

AIR BAGS
AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WENT OFF. I COULD'VE DIED. I WAS GOING 65MPH WHEN I DROPPED SOMETHING AND WENT TO PICK IT UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STRIKING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE LEFT SIDE, THEN THROWN INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADS GUARD RAIL WHERE I STOPPED FINALLY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE SHOCKED THE AIR BAGS DIDNT GO OFF BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE ONE SHOULD HAVE. I'M HURT FROM THIS INCIDENT AND POSSIBLY COULD'VE BEEN LESS INJURED HAD THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
