FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 9/29/18, I LEASED A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID FROM SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. BEGINNING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR, ON MULTIPLE, RANDOM OCCASIONS GASOLINE LEAKED OUT OF MY GAS TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT TENDS TO BE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME - AFTER WORK, WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR >8 HOURS, WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A WEEK VACATION, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD SMELL A POWERFUL ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE ME CHECK THE GAS TANK AREA. SEVERAL TIMES, I WITNESSED THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IN ALL CASES THERE WERE GASOLINE STAINS ON THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE GAS TANK. AND THE SIDE OF MY WHITE CAR HAS A PERMANENT YELLOW STREAK DOWN THE SIDE FROM THE LEAKING GAS. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT, BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD BE HAPPENING WITHOUT THE WARNING LIGHT GOING ON ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. THEY SAID I MUST BE OVERFILLING MY GAS TANK OR NOT TIGHTENING THE GAS CAP ENOUGH. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE GAS LEAKING OUT AFTER THE CAR SAT OVERNIGHT, AND I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 120 MILES SINCE MY LAST FILL UP. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THE PICTURES TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, HE STILL SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. FINALLY, I CALLED TOYOTA'S CORPORATE LINE AND REPORTED IT. THEY HAD ME GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE GAS LINE WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FROM WEAR-AND-TEAR FROM FILLING THE GAS TANK, NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT (EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD <6000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LEAK WAS DETECTED). THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRIDS (J0G) FOR "FUEL DELIVERY PIPES THAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE FUEL HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT". I THINK MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW.

THE CAR SHUDDERS AND APPEARS TO ALMOST STALL WHEN IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT HAPPENED FROM THE VERY FIRST YEAR IT WAS DRIVEN. ONCE IT ACTUALLY STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION JUST AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I PULLED FORWARD. I HAD NOT BRAKED. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE STALL WHILE ON THE 75 FREEEWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 70 MPH. NO BREAK LIGHTS APPAREAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP IN COBB COUNTY GEORGIA BUT NOTHING IS BEEN DONE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL MISFIRES WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND THE CAR SOMETIMES GOES INTO LIKE AN IDLE MODE. THE DASHBOARD STATES 27 MPG, BUT I'VE BEEN TRACKING MILEAGE ON A PAPER LOG, AND THE VEHICLE IS REALLY ONLY RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY 19 MPG. I LOOKED TO IT TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, AND AFTER LOOKING UP ACTIVE RECALLS, REALIZED THAT IT WAS SYMPTOMS OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA; A MANUFACTURER'S DEALER, AND THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

THE BRAKES ARE NOT STABLE LIKE THEY SHOULD EVEN AFTER I PAID FOR IT TO BE FIX. THE GAS GAUGE REFUSE TO OPEN WHEN IT'S TIME TO FUEL GAS THE CAR MAKES NOISES.

AIR BAGS
ON 9/24/20 WE EXPERIENCED A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH BOTH OCCUPANTS EXPERIENCED INJURIES FROM THE SEATBELT (PASSENGER HAD A FRACTURED STERNUM), AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ONCOMING CAR CROSSED THE CENTERLINE ON A CURVE, BOTH CARS WERE MOVING. I WOULD DISPUTE THE SPEED OF THE OTHER CAR AS I BELIEVE IT WAS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN STATED IN THE POLICE REPORT. OUR VEHICLE MAY VERY WELL HAVE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED (TOYOTA HAS BEEN CALLED TO CONFIRM), WE ARE THANKFUL TO BE HERE, BUT FEEL THE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN MINIMIZED IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OTHER VEHICLE HAD AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WALKED AWAY.

ON SEPTEMBER 29TH 2020 AT 7:20PM EST THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY DID NOT WANTED TO START EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE BREAK AND START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT FINALLY TURNED ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAD A FUNNY RATTLING NOISE AND A MASTER LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE BACK CAMERA SCREEN ALSO HAD A MASTER LIGHT ON WITH RCD OFF SIGNAL. AFTER DRIVING FOR A ABOUT 12 MINUTES AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE CAR STALLED AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN ONE YEAR AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ACCORDINGLY TO SCHEDULE. I EVEN HAD TO PAY TOYOTA FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP ON JULY 08TH 2020. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS AROUND ME WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
