ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, SYSTEM STAYS ON SEVERAL TIMES EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IN BLIND SPOT PASSES AWAY, ALERT STILL STAYS ON CREATING CONFUSION AND POTENTIAL HAZARD DURING LANE CHANGING. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO PROOF OF THE SAME.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR CAN'T SEEM TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR TO PICK AND WHEN TO ENGAGE IT RESULTING IN A SECOND OR TWO OF DEAD ACCELERATION. ONCE VEHICLE DECIDES WHAT TO DO, IT SENDS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RATES. THIS MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING FOR A YIELD AND THEN GOING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY. FUEL ECONOMY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL, MOST LIKELY DUE TO POOR TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE CAR WAS FIRST BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2017....HAS NEARLY 8000 MILES AS OF JULY 18 AND STILL AN ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ARE VERY 'GRABBY'. AT SLOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC (<5MPH) WHEN YOU APPLY YOUR FOOT TO THE BREAK YOU COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP (SIMILAR TO SLAMMING ON THE BRAKE). AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY (>60MPH) WHEN YOU APPLY THE BREAK THE CAR WILL ALSO SLOW DOWN AS IF YOU ARE PUSHING DOWN HARD ON THE BREAK PEDAL. DRIVING IN THE SNOW / ICE THIS WINTER WAS DANGEROUS AS THE BREAKS LOCKED UP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS RESULTING IN SKIDDING/SLIDING. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BREAKS, OR 'SLOW BREAKING'. YOU LIGHTLY APPLY THE BREAK AND THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY AS IF YOUR TRYING TO AVOID A COLLISION.

I BOUGHT A 2018 TOYOYA CAMRY SE IN APRIL AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS EVER SINCE. THE ETUNE RADIO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH MY PHONE. I HAVE TO RECONNECT MY PHONE TO THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING TO GET MY MUSIC TO PLAY AFTER A PHONE CALL. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T COOL PROPERLY, AT TIMES I HAVE TO SET IT ON "LOW" IN ORDER TO GET IT TO COOL. OTHER TIMES, I CAN HAVE IT SET ON 80 AND IT COOLS. WHEN I PARK MY CAR AND GET OUT, I CAN SMELL RADIATOR FLUID. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T' WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR TAKES OFF SMOOTH, OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. THERE IS A GAP IN TIME BETWEEN ME PRESSING THE GAS AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TAKING OFF.

COLLISION DETECTION ENGAGES WHEN NO ONE CLOSE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. OUR 2018 CAMRY ENGAGED THE COLLISION DETECTION AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON I-85 IN ATLANTA AND ABOUT WRECKED US. NO ONE WAS EVEN CLOSE TO THE FRONT THE VEHICLE OR STOPPING OR STOPPED AND IT LOCKED THE BRAKES UP SOLID FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS. THE VEHICLES BEHIND US ALMOST REAR ENDED US FROM IT ENGAGING WITHOUT WARNING. IT SCARED THE LIVING PISS OUT MY WIFE AND I. WE WONT EVEN DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE ANY MORE OR CLOSELY FOLLOW SOMEONE. THE VEHICLE NEEDS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN IT. I'M JUST REPORTING IT NOW BECAUSE I BEEN GIVEN THIS WEBSITE BY A LAWYER.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
4-CYLINDER XSE HAS SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAY AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL; THIS IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. OCCASIONALLY, THE GEAR WILL ALSO SHIFT ABRUPTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 15-25 MPH, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD SUDDENLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS; IF THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE OF CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT.

2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEMS. THIS INVOLVES A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTING THAT I HAVE FOUND ON 3 OCCASIONS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. UPON COMPLETING A TURN AND REAPPLYING GAS PEDAL THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN NEUTRAL OR STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. I HAD A DEAD GAS PEDAL FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS. ON 1 OCCASION I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND SWERVED TO AVOID MY CAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE LEMON LAW COMPLAINT FILED WITH THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE INVOLVING THIS CAR AND IT'S TRANSMISSION.

I OVERALL LOVE MY NEW CAMRY XSE EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS: 1-THE FEEDBACK ON THE HANDS FREE PHONE IS SO BAD NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME HANDS FREE EXCEPT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A HORRIBLE ECHO THAT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE PERSON CALLING ME TO HEAR ME. THEY STATE ALL THEY CAN HEAR PRIMARILY IS THE ECHO OF THEIR OWN VOICE. WHEN AN ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM-WHICH IS MEANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING-THAT YOU NEVER USE IT, IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM ALMOST EVERYONE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. 2-ABOUT 1 OUT OF 20 TIMES I GET A CALL, IT COMES THROUGH WITH A VERY STRANGE RINGING SOUND THAT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I STOP THE CAR & TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN ATTACH A VIDEO HERE BUT I DO HAVE IT) AND I ALSO CANNOT ANSWER THE CALL AT ALL-IT WILL RING NONSTOP FOR OVER 30 MINUTES IF I DON'T PULL OVER AND STOP/RESTART MY CAR. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING CONSIDERING THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR, I DIDN'T EXCEPT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.

TOYOTA CAMRY XLE V6 HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FIRST 5000 MI SERVICE HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. CAR CURRENTLY HAS ~8K MILES AND HAS NOT IMPROVED. (1) FIRST GEAR DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY TO SECOND. CAR JOLTS DURING THIS SHIFT. ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, BUT CAN BE REPRODUCED EVEN WHEN IT IS WARMED UP. (2) TRANSMISSION TAKES A LONG TIME TO DOWNSHIFT AFTER ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. SEEMS TO BE VERY CONFUSED IN PICKING THE RIGHT GEAR. (3) TRANSMISSION IS TOO EAGER TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN ACCELERATOR IS NOT PRESSED AND CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. THIS RESULTS IN ROUGH JOLTS AS THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN OR BRAKING.

I PARKED MY CAMRY AND LET MY WIFE OUT OF THE CAR. I HAD LEFT THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THE DASH WARNING SAID FOR ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK I DID NOT DO IT THAT INSTANCE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING WITH THE ENGINE OFF. THERE WAS NO INCLINE OR HILL. I TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES, AND EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, ENGINE OFF, FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHCILE STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE, EVEN STARTING TO GAIN SPEED. MY WIFE HAS MY OLD 2015 CAMRY HYBRID AND TRIED THIS EXPERIMENT. THAT TOYOTA DID NOT DO WHAT THE 2018 DID.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
NEW 2018 CAMRY SE WITH 458 MILES, 4 CYLINDER/8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR. MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 1ST AND 3RD GEARS. ALSO, DYNAMIC BRAKING SUPPORT PUT ME IN A DEAD STOP AS I WAS TRYING TO DEPART THE LANE TO AVOID A FRONT AND REAR END COLLISION. I HAD ALREADY APPLIED ENOUGH MANUAL BRAKE BUT WANTED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE OUT OF THE LANE TO CREATE SPACE. THIS AUTOMATIC DEAD STOP DUE TO THE DYNAMIC BRAKING SYSTEM WAS A SCARY SURPRISE THAT NEARLY CAUSED A PILE UP. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THESE ISSUES.

THIS CAR ONLY HAS 120 MILES ON IT, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY. UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A LONG DEAD ZONE IN THE ACCELERATOR LEADING TO POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO BEGIN MOVING. ONCE MOVING, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF VARIOUS GEARS, AND THE CAR CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO USE. IT ALSO SLAMS IN AND OUT OF SOME GEARS WITH NO CONSISTENCY. IT SEEMS LIKE A PROGRAM ISSUE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED VERY SOON OR THIS TRANSMISSION MAY NOT LAST 10-20K MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC ON I-526 IN CHARLESTON COUNTY, SC. THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME PUT ON BREAKS DUE TO A TRUCK MERGING IN FRONT OF HIS VEHICLE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN MY CAR, BRAKED, THEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IN ADDITION A VERY LOUD NOISE OCCURRED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS VERY STARTLING. MY VEHICLE ENDED UP UNDER THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AFTER THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM CAME ON AND THE LOUD ALARM IN THE INTERIOR WAS NOT WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH THE SYSTEM BEFORE. ONE TIME BEFORE THE BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED ITSELF AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON AND I SEEM TO RECALL THERE WAS A BEEP OR SOME SOUND THAT WAS VERY BRIEF.
