ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 LE NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR WORK ALTHOUGH SINCE MY SON GAVE ME HIS CAR I STARTED USING HIS AND LEFT MINE TO USE FOR THE GYM. AS NOW I AM USING MY 2018 CAMRY NOW MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I APPLY ACCELERATION HARD FROM STOP THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE CAR PICKS UP SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE I BELIEVE THE CAMRY IS DECIDING BETWEEN GEARS AND JERKS WHEN IT SELECTS THE GEAR IT WANTS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TODAY I NOTICED DURING MY CAR PARKED AT START UP THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. AFTER MAYBE ABOUT A MIN OR TWO IT QUIETED DOWN A LIL BUT IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE WHEN YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ON ACCELERATION DELAY FROM A STOP.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP IN A RIGHT HAND TURN UP-HILL CAR IS SLOW TO MOVE FORWARD REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL, THEN TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE HUNTING FOR RIGHT GEAR CAUSING A JERKY MOTION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I TURN ON THE KEY, BEFORE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS, I HEAR A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRUNK AREA. I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS COMING OUT FROM THE GAS PUMP. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER DURING MY LAST TWO SERVICES. NO FEEDBACK HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.

WHEELS
THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILES, THERE WAS A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF OUR TIRE WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED!!!! IN 50 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING, WE NEVER HAD A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF A TIRE, WHICH NEEDED EACH TIME TO BE REPLACED LEST WE HAVE A BLOWOUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER DURING ONE OF OUR REPLACEMENTS TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY TOYOTA PROVIDING INADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR THE WHEELS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH WILL LEAD TO BLOWOUTS AND DEATHS UNLESS THE NHTSA TAKES IMMEDIATE ACTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER, SPEAKING CONFIDENTIALLY. TOLD US THAT TOYOTA WILL FIGHT THIS RATHER THAN SPEND $1200. PER TIRE CASING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. YOU MUST ACT BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR FROM BLOWOUTS. ALSO, TOYOTA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR ALL TIRE BUBBLING!!

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST WHEN COMING TO A STOP. TRANSMISSION ALSO TAKES TOO LONG TO FIND GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH CAUSES ALL KINDS OF, WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE, THROTTLE LAG.

ENGINE, STEERING
MY STEERING HAS BECOME VERY STIFF. LIKE IT IS HESITATING WHEN I MAKE TURNS AS IF MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LOW BUT IT IS ELECTRICAL. MY CAR ALSO STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE THE GAS. MENTIONED IT TO DEALER WHEN FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2018 AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE THAT WAS IN IT. STEERING HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF, SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN OR LANE CHANGE. ENGINE HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ISSUE CHECKED OUT.

STEERING
THE STEERING STIFFENS UP TREMENDOUSLY AND THEN LOOSEN. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD A STEERING SHAFT (BELIEVE THAT WAS WHAT HE CALLED IT) IS THE PROBLEM AND IT IS GOING TO BE $770. THE GENTLEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I AM THE 3RD PERSON IN A MONTH WITH A 2018 CAMRY TO COME IN WITH THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017,WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE BECAME NOTICEABLY LOUDER. INITIALLY WE THOUGHT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE WARNED UP. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN HIGH IDLE MODE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS THOUGH THE THROTTLE IS STICKING. WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE, IF RESTARTED WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE RESPONDS THE SAME AS BEFORE VERY HIGH IDLING AND SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT HAS NO OIL GETTING TO THE ENGINE(VALVETRAIN). CAR TAKES SEVERAL MOMENTS TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND THE RPM'S DOES NOT MATCH THE ACCELERATION TIME. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES STICK WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO PICKUP ON POWER ITSELF WHILE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES LOSING POWER AGAIN. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY TO START CITY SPEED LIMITS AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE RPM'S INCREASE HOWEVER CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT DESIRED SPEED(DRAGS). ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS METAL RUNNING THROUGH IT AS WELL AS THE SOUNDS IT MAKES WHILE IDLING. TICKING.SHAKING,KNOCKING ALL AT ONCE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ENGINE NOISE AND THE WAY IT SHAKES BUT YOUR ATTACHMENT ONLY ALLOWS FOR 5MB AND THE VIDEO HAS MORE THAN 5MB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE HOWEVER THE RESPONSE WAS ALWAYS WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND VEHICLE EITHER NEEDS A LIGHT ON OR NEEDS TO BE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE PROBLEM RIGHT THEN. THEY EVEN COMPARED IT TO OTHER CAMRY'S TO MAKE SURE THEY SAID BUT THE CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHILE WE WERE THERE AND AS WE LEFT. THE VEHICLE IS SOUNDING FAR WORSE THAN IT WAS FROM NOVEMBER 2017- TO THIS CURRENT DAY AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DRIVING ANY BETTER AND IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSAFE. ALSO THE VIDEO I HAVE WILL NOT ATTACH TO YOUR FORMATS. IT'S ONLY ALLOWING PHOTOS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRANSMISSION: WHEN ACCELERATING HARD, SUCH AS ON AN ON RAMP, MY SPEED ONLY INCREASES SLIGHTLY WHILE THE ENGINE REVS TO 5000+ RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS & THEN IT SHIFTS AND SPEEDS UP. THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT ON HARD ACCELERATION UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CONSISTENT AND I BELIEVE, A SAFETY HAZARD. CRUISE CONTROL: THIS SYSTEM HAS WHAT TOYOTA CALLS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY SLOWS THE CAR IF IT THINKS THE VEHICLE OR OBJECT AHEAD IS TOO CLOSE. IN REALITY IT SLOWS THE CAR DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND A CLEAN WINDSHIELD. IT HAS A WINDSHIELD CAMERA TO DETECT SUCH THINGS, SO I HAVE TO KEEP IT CLEAN. THIS IS A RECURRING THING. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA. THERE SHOULD BE A REQUIRED FIX FOR SUCH SAFETY PROBLEMS.

MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SKIPS CONSTANTLY WHEN DRIVING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AT A CERTAIN SPEED, I MAY BE JUST TAKING OFF OR BEEN AT A CONSTANT SPEED FOR A WHILE AND IT SKIPS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF THE CONCERN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILES AND IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OFTEN DURING ACCELERATION, MY CAR SEEMS TO SPUTTER OR MISFIRE. WHEN TAKING OFF THERE SEEMS TO BE, AS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT, AN AIR BUBBLE IN THE FUEL LINE. KINDA LIKE FUEL ISN'T CONSTANTLY BEING FED TO THE ENGINE. THERE ARE GAPS. WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY CAR ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, TAKES OFF AS IF ITS PLAYING CATCH UP. ALTHOUGH THERE ISN'T AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY CAR, I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP.
