DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION: 1: CAR HESITATES TO SPEED UP FROM A FULL STOP OR WHILE IN MOTION. 2: RPM'S GO OVER 3000 BEFORE CAR REACTS (2-3 SECONDS DELAY) , DANGEROUS SPECIALLY WHEN TAKING CURVES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC (HIGHWAYS, FAST TRAFFIC ROADS). 3: I FEEL A "HICCUP" LIKE MOVEMENT WHILE IN MOTION (SOMETIMES). 4: CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR SHIFTS WHIT EXCESSIVE POWER. 5: DOWNSHIFTS AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION (IT HAPPENS ERRATICALLY) 6: I HEARD A SOFT METAL-TO-METAL "KNOCK" SOUND WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL WHILE IN MOTION. UNTIL NOW THIS ARE THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2018 CAMRY 4-CYL, CERTAINLY SOMETHING I WASN'T EXPECTING FROM A TOYOTA PRODUCT. THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR OF THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO RESPONSE AS IT SHOULD DO OR WHEN I'LL HAVE TO FLOOR IT SO IT CAN REV UP AND FINALLY MOVE.

EVERYTIME WE STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DELAYS TAKE OFF RESPONSE AS OF THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ON 4TH GEAR THEN RAPIDLY DROPS IT TO 1ST OR 2ND WHICH THEN CREATES A REALLY JERKY EFFECT WHICH IS NOT COMFORTABLE, NOT SAFE AND NOT RELIABLE.

MOVING SLOWLY I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO CHANGE LANES AND ACCELERATED, THE TRANS SEEMED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT CAR WOULD NOT GO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGED. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE CARS COMING UP BEHIND COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. I WAS GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND TRIED TO CHANGE LANES.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL: WHEN ACCELERATING AND DEACCELERATING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS REALLY ROUGH AND MAKES THE CAR JERKY LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR DRIVING THIS WAY. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 7 MONTHS AND WANT TO GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS ROUGH RIDE EXPERIENCE!

LAG AND HESITATION WHEN GOING TO FULL THROTTLE ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT HESITATES FOR A SECOND AND THEN FINALLY GRABS ON TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT BUT WAS HOPING IT WOULD WORK ITSELF OUT EVENTUALLY, BUT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED. TOYOTA DID A TSB SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE 4 CYLINDER BUT NOT THE V6.

BLINDSPOT NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA IN FOR SERVICE TODAY. I INFORMED THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I SENT THEM PICTURES OF THE BLIND SPOT COMING ON AT RANDOM TIME OR NOT COMING ON AT ALL. THE PHOTO ATTACHED WAS ME DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD AND IT COMING ON, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I EVEN HAVE A 15 SECOND VIDEO OF ME PASSING AN 18 WHEELER. AS I PASSED THIS VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT THE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE DEALER AGAIN TOLD ME IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO THEM THEN THEY CAN'T REPLACE THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 19,650 MILES.

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN IN FORWARD THE CAR JERKS. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR AT LOWER SPEEDS AND MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, OR SHIFTS DOWN OR UP JERKY LIKE IT SKIPS GEARS OR IT CAN'T DECIDE WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF. THE BULLETIN RECOMMENDS THAT DEALERS REPROGRAM THE PCM MODULE. THE BULLETIN IS TSB #T-SB-0330-17. THE DEALER WON'T REPROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S NIT A RECALL ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING, WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY JERKY. ANY SORT OF INCLINE SEEMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE EVEN FURTHER! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT WHAT WOULD I KNOW, EVEN THOUGH I DRIVE IT 110 MILES A DAY. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED FROM TAKEOFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE RPM'S WANT TO JUMP AND THE PEDAL IS VERY TOUCHY. I REALLY HATE THE TRANSMISSION JERKING THIS HARD WHEN I'M DRIVING 75-80 ON THE INTERSTATE. I ALSO DIDNT WANT TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR THE CAMRY, WHICH I HOLD IN HIGH REGARD, ONLY FOR THIS TO CONTINUE HAPPENING ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAD IT LOOKED AT WITH AROUND 6K MILES AND NOW I HAVE 13K ON THE CAR, WITH ZERO IMPROVEMENT. TOYOTA, PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM!

THE CAR HARD SHIFTS ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR... SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR, SOME LAG TIME WHEN ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO START ABOUT 5K-8K MILES. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER SAID TO SWITCH TO PREMIUM GAS, THE PROBLEM GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND IT MAY TAKE 4 WEEKS TO GET THE NEW TRANSMISSION. DEALER IS ALSO UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2018 CAMRY.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF SLOPED DRIVEWAY ON COLD MORNING. ALSO, LIGHT SHEET OF RUST ON EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR SURFACE OF ALL DISCS. SQUEAL GOES AWAY AFTER A SHORT WHILE (ABS WARM-UP ISSUE?), AND THE EXTERIOR RUST WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS OF USE. I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD SUCH ON A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE (HAVE DRIVEN MULTIPLE NEW CARS OVER 40 YEARS).

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR CONTROL PANEL POPPED-OUT EASILY, WHEN WINDOW CONTROL UP WAS ACTIVATED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO I WASN'T DRIVING AND STARTLED/DISTRACTED BY IT (I.E., POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE). APPEARS TO BE A RETAINER CLIP ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO COULDN'T FIX IT, SO I SHIMMED THE CLIP, AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE, SINCE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO EXTRACT, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE! NO SUCH ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL PANEL. UPLOADED IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MOV VIDEO, SHOULD YOU WISH TO REVIEW IT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA E-MAIL (I'D HAVE TO UPLOAD IT TO MY WEBSITE, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE FILE).
