SERVICE BRAKES
FOR FIRST MINUTE OR TWO AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, THE BRAKES PREVENT SMOOTH OPERATION CAUSING "LURCHING" ESPECIALLY DURING SLOW SPEED BACKING. TOYOTA DECLARES "NORMAL" BEHAVIOR OF THE BRAKES.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ERRATICALLY, WHEN CRUISING AT A CONSTANT SPEED THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IT FEELS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFT THEN UP SHIFTED, THIS HAPPENS A FEW OF TIMES A WEEK TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL IN 4 CYLINDER, BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR I HAVE 2013 CAMRY WITH NO SUCH ISSUE. THE MOST ANNOYING, BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS SOUND HOLLOW AND MAKE A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHEN SHUTTING THE DOORS. THEY SOUND LIKE METAL BANGING OR HOLLOW TIN CANS. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THAT THE ADHESIVE ON THE DOOR SKIN COULD BE BAD CAUSING THE METAL THUMPING SOUND. I CAN MAKE A VIDEO AND SEND IT TO YOU GUYS IF NEEDED. THANK YOU.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
WHENEVER I HAVE 1 OR 2 BACKSEAT PASSENGERS, THE SEATS THAT AREN'T OCCUPIED IN THE BACK THE SENSORS GO OFF AS IF SOMEONE'S IN THE SEAT AND NEEDS TO PUT ON THEIR SEATBELT. SO I JUST PUT THE SEATBELT CONNECTED SO IT STOPPED SENSORING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TODAY AUG 31 2019, I TEST DROVE THE ABOVE VEHICLE. 2 THINGS I NOTICED DURING DRIVING. 1). AT START UP THERE WAS A VERY AUDIBLE TICKING SOUND AT THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. IT WAS MUCH MORE AUDIBLE WHEN THE HOOD WAS RAISED, AND IT STOPPED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS WITH ONLY A FAMILIAR TICKING SOUND OF THE 4 CYLNDER ENGINE ONCE IT STOPPED 2). MOST IMPORTANT - DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BOGG DOWN, AND FEEL LIKE THE FUEL WAS NOT FEEDING PROPERLY, OR THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 15 MPH OR SO, IT SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMAL. I DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, ONLY CITY STREETS. THE ACCELERATION SHOULD BE OF MAJOR CONCERN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THERE ARE TWO ISSUES WITH MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 10,250 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY. (1) ONE IS A KNOCKING SOUND THAT A TOYOTA DEALER I TOOK IT TO SAID IS AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE PULLED THE ENGINE BUT THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS YET. THIS PROBLEM WAS MISSED WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE 10,000 OIL CHANGE ON JULY 30TH, AND EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT A NOISE I THOUGHT COULD BE A MUFFLER NOISE.. THIS ENGINE COULD HAVE FAILED AND ONLY LUCKY FOR ME IT DIDN'T WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS ENGINE PROBLEM AND FOR THE (2) TRANSMISSION POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN I PULL OUT INTO MAJOR STREETS FROM A SIDE STREET, I HAVE TO DO IT VERY GRADUALLY AND CANNOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT WILL MISS GEARS. THIS ALSO COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PASS OTHER TRAFFIC ON BUSY HIGHWAYS OF ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION. *TT CONSUMER STATED SHE DOES NOT WISH THE INVESTIGATOR TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE AUTOMAKER AT THIS TIME OF THE INVESTIGATION.*JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE RADAR SENSOR CONTINUOUSLY MALFUNCTIONS AND TURNS ITSELF OFF. INITIALLY THOUGHT BY THE DEALER TO BE DUE TO RAIN, EVEN DURING SUNNY CONDITIONS IT MALFUNCTIONS. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO GET RADAR SPEED CONTROL TO WORK AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN YOU DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND HAS NO FIX. THIS SHOULDN'T BE OCCURRING UNLESS THEIR IS A DIRECT BLOCKAGE OF RADAR SIGNAL ON THE SENSOR.

STEERING, WHEELS
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, MY CAR HAS ALWAYS REFUSED TO ACCELERATE ON TIME, OFTEN OVERCOMPENSATING AND LUNGING FORWARD, OR UNDERGOING A ROLLING SENSATION AND ACCELERATING. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING/TIRES TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK AND TODAY AS WELL. WHEN MAKING A TURN AND ACCELERATING THE CAR TIRES SKID VERY LOUDLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES ON ITS OWN TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I ALMOST WENT OUT OF MY LANE BECAUSE OF THIS. TIRES ARE FINE AND DO NOT SHOW EXCESSIVE WEAR OR DAMAGE.

THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL LIGHT. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS VERY JERKY LIKE IT'S IN THE WRONG GEAR. I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GOING TO GET REAR-ENDED WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS HESITATING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH GEAR TO SHIFT INTO.
