VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT HESITATION. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE YOU COULD INADVERTENTLY PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER DRIVER AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE IT HARMS SOMEONE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
WHEN I COME TO A FULL STOP AND ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SORT OF "STALLS" THEN EVENTUALLY THE GEARS CATCH AND IT STARTS TO DRIVE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED IN A HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT PICK UP SPEED, IT SLOWLY ROLLED FORWARD. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE THEN SEEMED TO "CATCH GEARS" AND PICKED UP SPEED. I ALSO NOTICED THE HYBRID BATTERY WASN'T CHARGING VERY WELL AND SEEMED TO BE HOT AS THE BATTERY FANS WERE CONSTANTLY ON.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, WHEELS
(HYBRID MOD) WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE IN MAY , THE RT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT(ODO 7,000). SEEMED TO BE NO REASON, IT JUST BLEW OUT. THEN IN JULY, AGAIN ON AN INTERSTATE, THE LT REAR TIRE BLEW(ODO 12,000). ONCE AGAIN, NO REASON, JUST BLEW OUT. WE WE'RE TOLD BY FIRESTONE THAT THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED & I CAN NOT DO A WARRANTY CLAIM BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE TIRES FROM THEM, TOYOTA DID SO TOYOTA HAS TO DO THE CLAIM. TOYOTA TELLS ME THEY DO NOT WARRANTY TIRES, FIRESTONE DOES & I HAVE TO GO THROUGH FIRSETONE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE STILL 2 MORE TIRES (ON THE FRONT) THAT COULD STILL BLOW OUT & CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KEEP THE TIRES TO SHOW THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OVERLY SENSITIVE. THE CAR THEN STARTED BRAKING (THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURE) WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES, PEOPLE, ANIMALS,ETC IN SIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, STRAIGHT ROADS, IN CURVES,SUNNY DAYS, RAINY DAYS,ETC. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DECIDES TO ENGAGE THE BRAKING SAFETY SYSTEM WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. ALL THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE COULD OFFER AS A SUGGESTION WAS TO TURN THAT FEATURE OFF! AS IF ALL THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, WHILE BACKING UP & COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP (BUT STILL IN REVERSE) THE CAR LUNGED BACK ANOTHER FOOT OR BETTER CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH A BASKETBALL POLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THAT, WHEN I PUMP FUEL NIW I HAVE TO HOLD THE HANDLE SO IT DOESN'T TOUCH OR LEAN AGAINST THE BOTTOM PART OF THE NECK HOLE. OTHERWISE, ANY FUEL YOU TRY TO PUT IN IT WILL FLOW RIGHT BACK OUT & RUN DOWN THE CAR TO THE GROUND. I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED DEALER TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES & TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL LIKE ITHE VEHICLE IS SAFE AT THIS POINT. AFTER MONTHS OF RUN AROUND & NOT RETURNING MY CALLS, DEALER REFERRED ME TO TOYOTA TODAY.

ENGINE
I'VE HAD THIS 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SINCE MAY 23, 2018 & I NOTICED NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING. I CONTACTED THE SALESMAN, THE SERVICE MANAGER, & THE SALES MANAGER & THEY ALL BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH, BUT TOLD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE WHICH IS A LIE. I LITERALLY HAVE TO MASH THE GAS DOWN HARD AND PRAY IT GOES. THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS TRANSMISSION & THEY WAY IT ACCELERATES. AT THIS MOMENT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DON'T CARE. I'M REALLY STRESSED & DISSATISFIED ABOUT HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS.

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT 2018 CAMRY LE THE PROBLEM IS JERKEY SHIFTS FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND SOMETIMES IS DOSEN'T ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW DOWN IF YOU ARE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAN BE A BIG RISK BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GO WHEN IT THE GAS AFTER A FEW SECONDS ITS KICKS AND GOES REALLY FAST AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW FAST IT WILL GO ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPER JURKEY IN CITY TRAFFIC. SOMETIME IF YOU PUT THE ACCELERATION IT DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD WE AND OTHER TIMES ITS ACCELERATION IS TOO FAST AND YOU CAN CRASH WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. ALSO THE GAS PEDAL IS REALLY STIFF AND IF YOU DRIVE FOR A LONG TIME YOUR FEET AND LEG GETS REALLY SORE FROM APPLYING SO MUCH PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ARE VERY GRABBY AT LOW SPEED (SUCH AS MANEUVERING IN A PARKING SPACE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE). THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE (WITH THE SAME PEDAL PRESSURE) AT CITY-STREET SPEEDS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCASIONALLY CAUSED THE ABS TO ENGAGE, WITH THE CAR LOSING TRACTION BRIEFLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON A DRY ROAD WHEN THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM SINCE HE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017, WHICH THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE TWICE, SAYING THIS IS A NEW REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM (SPECIFICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PRIUS, WHICH I CITED AS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM).

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS WOULD REFLECT THE INTERIOR VENTS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSENTHAL ACURA (623 FREDERICK RD, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879, (877) 300-4226), BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN THE BRAKES ARE COLD ON MY 2018 CAMRY LE, THEY GRAB GOING FORWARD OR BACK REGARDLESS OF HOW CAREFULLY THEY ARE APPLIED. ON 10K MILE CHECK-UP THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE IT IS A COLD BRAKE PROBLEM. WILL MAKE COMPLAINT AGAIN AT 15K MILE CHECK AND GET IN WRITING THAT IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE CAR HESITATES FEELS LIKES THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OR THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING AT SOME POINTS THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD CAUSING A WHIP LASH EFFECT, THE CAR NORMALS DOES THIS AT ABOUT ANYWHERE FROM 45 MILES PER HOUR UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. AT HIGHER SPEEDS SUCH AS 92 MILES PER HOUR TO BE EXACT THE CAR CONTINUES TO JUST HESITATE NON STOP AS IF IS STRUGGLING TO GO THAT SPEED?

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE BRAKES ARE BEST DESCRIBED AS GRABBY AT LOW SPEEDS, E.G., COMING TO STOP SIGN OR PULLING INTO GARAGE. THE PROBLEM LEADS TO JERKY STOP/GO/STOP/GO/STOP SITUATIONS. VEHICLE ALSO HAS A TENDENCY TO BOLT FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN RELEASING BRAKES WHICH HAS LED TO RUNNING INTO GARAGE WHILE BACKING UP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL IS SET ON, AND A LEADING VEHICLE IS ENGAGED BY THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL, IF THE LEADING VEHICLE TURNS OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT THE RADAR SPEED CONTROL SUDDENLY DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING REAR-ENDED WHEN THERE ARE FOLLOWING VEHICLES. HAPPENS UNDER ALL ROAD CONDITIONS AND IN ALL WEATHER.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY AND UNDER 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR HESITATES AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IF WILL FINALLY GO WITH A JERKING TO THE PASSENGERS. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO LACK THE POWER TO PASS ANYONE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE ALSO. WHEN MOVING INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THE CAR WOULD ALSO FEEL AS IF IT WERE JERKING INTO GEARS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE ON COLD STARTS BUT WAS DEFINITELY STILL A PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING AND HAVING TIME TO WARM UP.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKES GRAB AND JERK AT LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M BACKING UP OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE FINE AND THE ISSUE IS NORMAL. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. I NOTICED VIA AN ONLINE SEARCH; THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO REMEDY OFFERED FROM TOYOTA.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOTH SIDE WINDOWS IN THE FRONT HAVE VISIBLE DARK AND LIGHT SPOTS, AND PATTERNS. REAR WINDOWS HAVE A LOT OF RIPPLING DARK PATTERNS. PATTERNS CAN BE SEEN WHEN WE LOOK THROUGH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES. IT IS ALSO VISIBLE WITH BARE EYES FROM AN ANGLE. WHAT IS THE STANDARD OF THE TEMPERED GLASS ON A VEHICLE ? WE THINK THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENED WHETHER OR NOT POLARIZED SUNGLASSES ARE USED WHEN DRIVING. WE ARE NOT SURE IF OUR WINDOWS ARE CONSIDERED AS ABNORMAL OR DEFECT AT THIS LEVEL (SEE PICTURES), THE PATTERNS ON BOTH SIDES (FRONT) WINDOWS ARE DISTRACTING WHEN IT TURNS DARK UNDER THE BRIGHT SUN. WINDOWS IN THE MIDDLE ARE FINE. BESIDES, WE DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH OUR OTHER 3 CARS AT HOME (2 ARE DIFFERENT BRAND) WHEN WE USED OUR POLARIZED SUNGLASSES IN THE PAST YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
SINCE THE CAR WAS DELIVERED FROM THE DEALER, THE BRAKES HAVE CONTINUED TO SEVERELY GRAB AT LOW SPEEDS AS IF A CHILD IS JAMMING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EASE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE WITHOUT THE BRAKES BUCKING SEVERAL TIMES. BACKING UP CAUSES THE SAME BUCKING PROBLEM. THE BUCKING IS SOMEWHAT INTERMITTENT AND THE SLOWER ONE IS MOVING THE WORSE IT SEEMS TO BE. THE CAR HAS 8500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.
