TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAULTY. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. THE RECALL WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY TOYOTA AND ONLY COVERED 5 YEARS 60,000 MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ONLINE. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE AND NEED THIS REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

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.

THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THIS IS NORMAL AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I EVER NEEDED TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.

FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN TSB00007-19 GROWING NUMBER OF CUSTOMER CONCERNS ABOUT NEEDING A NEW BATTERY AFTER 1 YEAR. I BROUGHT MY 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY INTO DAYTONA TOYOTA FOR DIAGNOSIS OF DEAD BATTERY ISSUE-TECHNICIAN TOOK 8 HOURS AND SUGGESTED I MUST HAVE LEFT THE DOOR OR TRUNK OPEN. TECHNICIAN DID SAY I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NEW BATTERY WHICH IS A NEW DESIGN, PART #00544H6074770.THIS BATTERY IS RATED AT 770CCA VS MY BATTERY WHICH IS RATED AT 560 CCA. THE NEW BATTERY ACTUALLY CHECKS OUT AT 990 CCA! TECHNICIAN SAID IT IS THE NEWLY DESIGNED BATTERY FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY AND RAV4 AND WOULD GREATLY REDUCE DEAD BATTERY PROBLEM, HOWEVER TOYOTA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SPENT 2 FULL DAYS CHASING THIS PROBLEM AT 2 DEALERSHIPS AND TOYOTA SAYS IT IS MY FAULT FOR LEAVING A DOOR, HOOD, OR TRUNK OPEN-ABSURD! THIS IS TRULY LOUSY SERVICE ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH AN UNDERLYING SERIOUS PROBLEM. FOR THE IMMEDIATE TIME I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE WHEN NOT GOING TO USE THE CARE FOR 4 OR 5 DAYS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL FOR BATTERY OR UNDERLYING DRAINAGE PROBLEM. ALSO SEE KELLY BLUE BOOK FOR MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.
