POWER TRAIN
IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH AC ON IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, IF CHANGING TO A FASTER LANE, HAVING THE GAS FLOORED, THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/DOWN SHIFT THAT LASTED ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE IT ACCELERATED. ONE TIME, A CAR THAT WAS TWO CARS IN FRONT OF ME PULLED OUT AND HE WAS GONE, WHILE I WAS STILL SITTING THERE WITH NO ACCELERATION AND ANOTHER CAR QUICKLY APPROACHING FROM THE REAR! I WAS TOLD THAT OTHERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE ISSUES, THEY FELT THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NORMAL OPERATIONS FOR THE 4 CYL CAMRY'S, THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED, AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL TOYOTA PUT OUT A MOD FOR THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING OUT SOON WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND NO REPAIR AVAILABLE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ACROSS NEBRASKA (POSSIBLY JUST INSIDE WYOMING) HEADING TO COLORADO ON SUN JUNE 29TH, ON I-80 (VERY LONG, 80MPH SPEED-LIMIT HIGHWAY), MY CAMRY WITH 215,000 MILES SUDDENLY GAVE A 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' CODE, WHICH CAUSED THE GAS-PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL ALSO CAME ON. THE ELECTRONIC 'TRIP INFORMATION' DATA-GRAPHIC SHOWED MY HYBRID BATTERY WAS DOWN TO ONE PINK-LINE SUGGESTING LOW-POWER IN THE HYBRID BATTERY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SMOOTHLY. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW-TRUCK THAT NEVER ARRIVED, I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON/OFF A FEW TIMES TO VERIFY THE ON-BOARD GPS FOR OUR LOCATION (ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHIN THE VEHICLE STILL WORKED). AT AROUND THE TWO HOUR WAITING-MARK, WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, THE 'CHECK HYBRID ENGINE' ALERT AND THE CHECK-ENGINE SYMBOL BOTH DISAPPEARED, & I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE ADDITIONAL 50+ MILES TO MY FINAL DESTINATION IN FORT COLLINS COLORADO. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO & TWO CODES WERE REGISTERED: POAOF-204 - ENGINE FAILED TO START (?? THE VEHICLE ALWAYS 'STARTED' SO I'M NOT CLEAR ABOUT THIS CODE) AND P3190 - POOR ENGINE POWER. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE AROUND FORT COLLINS, THE HYBRID BATTERY WOULD ONLY GET UP TO THREE CHARGE LINES (BLUE), WHICH ISN'T EVEN HALF-CHARGED, BEFORE TRICKLING BACK DOWN TO THE TWO OR EVEN ONE PINK-LINE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN-TRANSIT ON A CARRIER TRUCK TO MY HOME BACK IN BUFFALO, NY. THE VEHICLE'S ALWAYS BEEN RELIABLE TO THIS POINT, AND I HAVE HAD IT SINCE APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES (WHEN I TOOK IT OVER FROM MY FATHER). I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME PROBLEM AFFECTING CERTAIN PRIUS MODELS (2011-2015) WHERE THE GAS ENGINE NO LONGER COMMUNICATES/CHARGES THE HYBRID ENGINE. THE VEHICLE PASSED NYS INSPECTION WITH AN OIL CHANGE IN JUNE 2020. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON SIDE THE ROAD TO PREVENT FROM GETTING HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER FROM THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE A WHILE LONGER BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED HAVING MANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 2019 CAMRY. ON THE DATE OF JUNE 29TH REPAIR APPOINTMENT, THEY REPORTED THEY FUEL PUMP IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL JULY 22ND, 2020 DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THAT DEFECT. HOWEVER, THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD BE COVERED. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO PRIVATELY RENT A VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING OFFERED A LOANER CAR OR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS. I HAD TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY 1,000 IN EXPENSES TO COVER THE COST OF NOT HAVING A VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN A REMOTE AREA FAR FROM HOME AND WORK. MY DISABLED MOTHER HAD TO BOOK A HOTEL TO CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH MY FATHER. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS WITH 29,000 MILES. WHEN I PLACED MY VIN NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM, MY VEHICLE WASN'T IDENTIFIED OR QUALIFIED AS A RECALL IN THE SYSTEM DESPITE THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMING THEIR WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VEHICLE DEFECT MATCHING ONE OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS RELATED TO THE TOYOTA CAMRY. BASED ON MY VIN #, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS, WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL OFFICE, THEY REPORTED MY VEHICLE DIDN'T MEET RECALL STANDARDS .THE KELLY BLUE BOOK REPORTED 5 DIFFERENT RECALLS AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS IN RELATION TO THE 2019 CAMRY. I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP DEFECT/SYMPTOMS MATCHED WITH MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES BY ITSELF . I APPLY BRAKES AND IT STILL PROPELS ITSELF. I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I AM LUCKY THAT I DO NOT HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTUALLY STOPS. THE CAR IS NEW WITH ONLY 900MILES . I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. TOMORROW I AM BRINGING CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVICE. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED TWICE. OF COURSE THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WAS DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT AND COULD FEEL THAT CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL AND BREAKS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY, THEN THE CARE STALLED AND STOPPED, SO TURNED CAR OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED. SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES AND WHEN I FINALLY WENT BACK HOME BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO GO FURTHER, I COULD SMELL GAS WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE. EACH TIME IT STALLED, I HAD TO RESTART IN ORDER TO GO AGAIN, VERY SCARRY AND EVERYONE BEEPING AT ME DOESNT HELP.

STEERING
AS I WAS STARTING OUT MY DRIVEWAY THE STEERING SUDDENLY GOT VERY STIFF AND WHEN IT WOULD TURN IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER, SO I HAD TO DO THAT MYSELF. IT ONLY DID IT ONCE SO I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION, BUT WHEN I STARTED HOME IT BECAME MORE AND MORE STIFF AND WAS MAKING A GROWLING NOISE. I DROVE IT SLOWLY HOME AND HAD TO PARK IT FOR NEARLY TWO WEEKS TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I WAS VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD LOCK UP TOTALLY,. FINALLY GOT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND SERVICE SAID THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS BINDING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A VERY ODD PROBLEM TO HAVE WITH ONLY 47,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE'S 2018 CAMRY ROLLED AWAY DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY WHILE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. IT'S GOT 33K MILES ON IT. ON THE WAY DOWN THE HILL, IT CLEARLY ENGAGED THE PARKING PIN BECAUSE IT DRUG THE FRONT WHEELS 10 OR SO FEET BEFORE HITTING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, I HOPPED OUT AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND ALL FOUR DOORS UNLOCKED. I PUT A PACKAGE IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK, MY WIFE (WHO WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT) HIT THE REMOTE ON THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND NEARLY HIT ME. ALL FOUR DOORS RELOCKED, THE PAWL CLICKED UNTIL IT ENGAGED AS IT ROLLED AWAY. IT JUMPED THE STREET, AND PARK ENGAGED AND IT SLID THE LAST 15 OR SO FEET. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING UNTIL MY WIFE REMOVED THE KEY. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DASHBOARD HAS SOMEHOW MELTED AND IS COMPLETELY STICKY! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS STUCK TO IT AND CANNOT BE REMOVED- AN ENTIRE PIECE OF PAPER, PLASTIC PIECES, FIZZ, DIRT, ETC.. I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR. I'VE TRIED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THE PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. MY CONCERN HAS HEIGHTENED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC, AS I'M PARANOID THAT GERMS AND MANY OTHER THINGS MIGHT BE STUCK ON THE DASHBOARD. I'M NOT SURE HOW LIKELY THAT IS, BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF REPAIR ON BEHALF OF THIS ISSUE- AS IT IS A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
