POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AT 20 MPH AND SHUDDERS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH UNDER LIGHT AND NORMAL ACCELERATION. DURING FAST ACCELERATION, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE VEHICLE HAS 131,186 MILES DRIVEN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, IT HESITATES AND FEELS LIKE ITS LOSING POWER, IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME IT'S NOT JUST A FEW TIMES. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M DRIVING IT STILL DOES IT. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL TO THE ENGINE. IT DOES IT ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS. IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF, AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT'S GOING TO GOING DOWN THE ROAD. NOT SURE IF IT'S A FUEL ISSUE OR IF ITS SOMETHING IN THE MOTOR, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS CHECKED OUT AND FIXED. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS NOW AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

STEERING
THE STEERING STIFFENS UP TREMENDOUSLY AND THEN LOOSEN. TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD A STEERING SHAFT (BELIEVE THAT WAS WHAT HE CALLED IT) IS THE PROBLEM AND IT IS GOING TO BE $770. THE GENTLEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I AM THE 3RD PERSON IN A MONTH WITH A 2018 CAMRY TO COME IN WITH THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING IN THE HOV LANE ON THE 170 AT 6:30PM. 2/7/2020. THERE WAS A SUDDEN WHITE FLASH AND EXPLOSION. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. ALL I COULD SEE WAS OUT MY REAR WINDOW. I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT IT STOPPED IN THE FAST LANE. ALL I COULD SEE WHERE CARS SWERVING TO MISS US. I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY HAZARDS COULD BE SEEN AS I COULDN'T SEE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES HOPING THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AND THE CARS COMING COULD SEE THEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE MY THROAT AND LUNGS WERE BURNING. MY DAUGHTER WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. I COULDN'T MOVE BECAUSE OF THE SEAT BELTS. WHEN SHE CAME TO SHE CALLED 911. THE FREEWAY WAS CLOSED DOWN. THE POLICE FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF US BEING HIT OR US HITTING ANYTHING. NO REPORT WAS ISSUED. THE AIRBAGS HAD TO BE CUT TO GET US OUT. WE WERE TRAPPED IN A CAR THAT WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS ON FIRE OR NOT. IF IT WAS WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN OUT! THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SHORT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO GO OFF. OR THE AIRBAGS JUST WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE WHITE LIGHT OR DEAFENING BANG WAS. I CAN ONLY CALL IT AN EXPLOSION.

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR HAS 32K MILES ON IT. WHEN THE SPEED REACHES AROUND 32 THERE'S A SHUDDER/VIBRATION WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY RPM DROP BEFORE SHIFTING TO NEXT GEAR. WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED AROUND 42/43 (INNER ROADS), 62/65 (FREEWAYS) TORQUE CONVERTOR LOCKS UP ACCOMPANIED BY LOWER RPM AND THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION BEGINS WHICH IS CLEARLY FELT ON GAS PEDALS, STEERING WHEELS AND DOORS AND FEEL LIKE DRIVING ON BUMPY ROAD, THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VIBRATION IS TO EITHER GIVE MORE POWER/ACCELERATION SO THAT IT RELEASES LOCK UP AND SHIFTS GEARS (OR) JUST RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL SO THAT IT SLOWS DOWN AND COMES OUT OF LOCK-UP. WHEN VIBRATION HAPPENS, GIVING POWER/PRESSING ACCELERATOR WILL INCREASE THE VIBRATION WITH NO INCREASE IN SPEED UNTIL IT SHIFTS TO OTHER GEARS, CHECKED WITH A COUPLE OF DEALERS TO GET AN OPINION BUT THE ANSWER I AM GETTING IS THERE IS NO CODE IN THE HEALTH CHECK AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ANY CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONE TECHNICIAN ADMITTED THAT ITS TORQUE CONVERTOR LOCKUP VIBRATION. THEY WILL NOT DIAGNOSE OR PERFORM ANY OTHER OPERATIONS WITHOUT ANY CODE OR ITS COMPLETELY BROKEN. TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT WILL COST AROUND 3K BASED ON DEALER INFO. BASED ON TOYOTA'S INTERNET FORUMS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS IN THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TORQUE CONVERTOR AND TOYOTA SHOULD COME FORWARD TO REPLACE IT OR FIX IT SIMILAR TO THEIR 2014/2014.5 MODELS, WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED WITH THE 2015 MODELS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. NOT ONLY IS THIS BOTHERSOME AS I CAN NOT LAY ANYTHING ON IT WITHOUT IT STICKING SUCH AS PARKING PASSES AND SUCH NOR CAN I USE A SIN VISOR BECAUSE PART OF IT STUCK TO THE DASH BUT IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE STICKY MELTED DASH CAUSES A BAD GLARE AND YOU CAN'T SEE VERY WELL OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
ALMOST AT END OF EXIT RAMP FROM I264 TO BARDSTOWN RD NEAR GARDINER LANE INTERSECTION. HAD GREEN LIGHT. MY VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROX 25 MPH WITH NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO EXIT ONTO BARDSTOWN RD (HWY 31?). ONLY MYSELF, DRIVER. I WAS IN LEFT HAND LANE TO EXIT TO WESTBD (?) BARDSTOWN RD. TOWARD DOWNTOWN AND A SMALLER CAR WHIPPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME FROM RIGHT HAND KANE (TWO EXIT LANES GOING IN SAME DIRECTION. PERHAPS, THIS CAR WANTED TO CROSS OVER THREE LANES ON BARDSTOWN RD TO GET TO FAT LEFT TURN LANE AT GARDINER LN. THIS LIGHT IS OFTEN BACKED-UP. EVEN THOUGH I APPLIED MY BRAKES, THEY WERE NOT STOPPING MY CAR IN TIME AND I HOPPED CURB TO LEFT TO SMSLL TRIANGULAR MEDIAN. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I COULD NOT MAKE WISE DECISIONS WITHOUT SEEING AND I WAS HIT BY AIRBAGS, BRUISED IN FACE, ETC. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I VIEWED THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING TOWARD ME AS I WAS NOW PERPENDICULAR TO TRAFFIC INTO TEO LANES OF BARDSTOWN RD. I COULD HAVE TURNED RIGHT AND AVOIDED HITTING ANY OTHRR VEHIVLE IF IT WERE NOT FOR AIRBAGS BLOCKING MY VIEW. I HAD NOT HIT ANY OBJECT OR VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. I KEPT APPLYING PRESSURE TO MY BRAKES ON WHICH I HAD SPENT THOUSANDS IN REPAIR. THE BRAKES STILL DID NOT STOP ME. I NEVER SAW WHY I STOPPED. AIRBAG BLOCKED VIEW. THE CAR I WAS DRIVING FINALLY HIT SOMETHING (LATER FOUND OUT) ANOTHER CAR IN TURN LANE TO GET ONTO I 264 IT FINALLY STOPPED. MY HEARING AID IN MY RIGHT EAR WAS EJECTED WHEN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I FOUND IT LATER ON PASSENGER MAT IN REAR. THE AIRBAGS HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE TO DEPLOY FROM JUMPING ONE SMALL CURB. NO AIRBAG I AM ABLE TO TURN RIGHT WHETHER BRAKES WORK OR NOT. NO ACCIDENT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017,WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE BECAME NOTICEABLY LOUDER. INITIALLY WE THOUGHT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE WARNED UP. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN HIGH IDLE MODE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS THOUGH THE THROTTLE IS STICKING. WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE, IF RESTARTED WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE RESPONDS THE SAME AS BEFORE VERY HIGH IDLING AND SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT HAS NO OIL GETTING TO THE ENGINE(VALVETRAIN). CAR TAKES SEVERAL MOMENTS TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND THE RPM'S DOES NOT MATCH THE ACCELERATION TIME. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES STICK WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO PICKUP ON POWER ITSELF WHILE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES LOSING POWER AGAIN. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY TO START CITY SPEED LIMITS AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE RPM'S INCREASE HOWEVER CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT DESIRED SPEED(DRAGS). ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS METAL RUNNING THROUGH IT AS WELL AS THE SOUNDS IT MAKES WHILE IDLING. TICKING.SHAKING,KNOCKING ALL AT ONCE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ENGINE NOISE AND THE WAY IT SHAKES BUT YOUR ATTACHMENT ONLY ALLOWS FOR 5MB AND THE VIDEO HAS MORE THAN 5MB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE HOWEVER THE RESPONSE WAS ALWAYS WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND VEHICLE EITHER NEEDS A LIGHT ON OR NEEDS TO BE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE PROBLEM RIGHT THEN. THEY EVEN COMPARED IT TO OTHER CAMRY'S TO MAKE SURE THEY SAID BUT THE CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHILE WE WERE THERE AND AS WE LEFT. THE VEHICLE IS SOUNDING FAR WORSE THAN IT WAS FROM NOVEMBER 2017- TO THIS CURRENT DAY AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DRIVING ANY BETTER AND IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSAFE. ALSO THE VIDEO I HAVE WILL NOT ATTACH TO YOUR FORMATS. IT'S ONLY ALLOWING PHOTOS.
