WHEELS
I HAVE A 2018 CAMRY XSE, THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH CAR HAS A LOT OF SIDEWALL PROBLEMS, WITHIN THE LAST 5 MONTHS I HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIRES DUE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE. EACH TIME THE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR, WITH HITTING A SMALL POT HOLE, OR A SLIGHT RUBBING AGAINST THE CURB. THE BRAND OF TIRE ARE BRIDGESTONE,TURANZA 235/40R19. I REMEMBER WHEN BRIDGESTONE AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THERE TIRES WHICH CAUSE FATALITIES MANY YEARS AGO. SO I'M WONDERING IF THE SAME PRACTICE IS HAPPENING AGAIN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE'S 2018 CAMRY ROLLED AWAY DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY WHILE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. IT'S GOT 33K MILES ON IT. ON THE WAY DOWN THE HILL, IT CLEARLY ENGAGED THE PARKING PIN BECAUSE IT DRUG THE FRONT WHEELS 10 OR SO FEET BEFORE HITTING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, I HOPPED OUT AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND ALL FOUR DOORS UNLOCKED. I PUT A PACKAGE IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK, MY WIFE (WHO WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT) HIT THE REMOTE ON THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND NEARLY HIT ME. ALL FOUR DOORS RELOCKED, THE PAWL CLICKED UNTIL IT ENGAGED AS IT ROLLED AWAY. IT JUMPED THE STREET, AND PARK ENGAGED AND IT SLID THE LAST 15 OR SO FEET. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING UNTIL MY WIFE REMOVED THE KEY. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS BAD. BAD IDLE, WEAK ENGINE, JUST THE CAR IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. I USED THE SCANNER TO SEE THE CODE AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE . P0171 P0505 P117B P0441 P0455 . FUEL/AIR MIXTURE IS LEAN . AND I HEAR THE FUEL PUMP MAKING THAT NOISE THAT INDICATES A BAD FUEL PUMP. IT'S WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN I HEAR IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IF I TURN THE KEY ON IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN I PUT IT ON P IT REVS AND RPM GOES UP AND THEN COMES DOWN, UP AGAIN DOWN AGAIN ... WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE AND RPM KEEPS SHAKING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHILE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY FUEL PUMP BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL MY CAR IS ACTUALLY "RECALLED" BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCES OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
HESITATION AND MAJOR JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW MPH FROM A ROLLING STOP. TSB #T-SB-0152-19_REV SHOULD BE APPLIED TO PRACTICALLY EVERY CAMRY FROM 2018 & 2019. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT HAVE THIS DONE TO MY CAR BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS BULLETIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WOULDN'T BE BUT IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT'S GETTING EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND IT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ARE GOING TO FAIL SOON AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 34000 MILES ON IT. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE APPLY THIS BULLETIN TO MORE CAMRY VINS! *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR ON THE TURNPIKE FOR ABOUT 3.5 S WHEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE AREA AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A FIRE THEN SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED. I PULLED OVER AND PUT OUT THE FIRE BY THROWING WATER ONTO THE AREA FROM A BOTTLE OF WATER I HAD IN MY CAR CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE MY ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND OTHER SYSTEMS(AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS) NO LONGER WORK. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE. THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR TO MEET ME AT A DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT IS WAS DUE TO MY WINDSHIELD BEING REPLACED 18 MONTHS PRIOR BY SAFELITE AND I DIDN'T USE TOYOTA WINDSHIELD (LETTER ATTACHED). TOYOTA RETURNED MY CAR AND THE AREA STILL HEATED UP AND SMOKED. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO REMOVE THE HOUSING BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FOUND THAT THE METAL CAMERA WAS OVER HEATING AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC HOUSING TO MELT (PICTURES ATTACHED). I UNPLUGGED THE CAMERA AND THE SAFETY ISSUE IS RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THAT CAMERA CONTROLS THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM AND MY AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED A TOYOTA CAMRY ON 2/17/20. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SRS AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT STARTED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REAR SEATBELT ALARM CONTINOUSLY SOUND OFF ALERTING ME TO FASTEN SEATBELTS WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING BACK THERE. I TRIED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT WAS TOLD IT HAD TO BE TAKEN TO TOYOTA. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA, I FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN TORN AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $4,900.00 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MORE THAN LIKELY WOULDN'T DEPLOY. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE VVEHICLEDUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL KEEP COMING BACK UP FROM THE INTAKE (CAP) EVERY-TIME IT'S FULL AND HAPPEN ON HOT WEATHER DAYS WHILE IN PARKING LOT. IT'S HAPPENED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (BRAND NEW), THE DEALER TRIED TO REPLACE CHARCOAL CANISTER, BUT NOW AFTER A YEAR THE PROBLEM COME BACK AGAIN AND BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW, BRING TO THE DEALER NOW (DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE BEFORE), THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT AND BLAME ME FOR OVERFILL. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY REPAIR OR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THEY DIDN'T TOTALLY FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO BLAME IT ON THE CONSUMERS. PROBLEM STILL THERE, NOW I'M WORRY IT CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION ANYTIME. AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR TO COMMUTE FOR NOW. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE AT ALL STATING THAT THE DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BOTH THE DEALER & MANUFACTURE DENIED THE RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M TIRED AND STRESSFUL WITH THEIR IRRESPONSIBLE ANSWERS. *TR
