FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE MAKING A TURN THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. IF THE TURN IS LONG, AS IN A CLOVERLEAF EXIT, THE VEHICLE WILL ALMOST STOP. PRESSING THE GAS HAS NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WILL LAG UNTIL IT ALMOST STOPS OR UNTIL YOU COME OUT OF THE TURN. FROM WHAT I FIND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 AND LATER TOYOTA CAMRYS BUT DEALERS STONEWALL ABOUT IT. I HOPE YOU GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLS. IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL COMING FOR FUEL PUMPS ON TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES. THE RECALL IS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH OF 2020, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE 2010 CAMRY IS INCLUDED, BUT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS.

STEERING
AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR AND MOTOR TESTED FINE. WOUND UP REPLACING THE CAR'S BATTERY AND THAT CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED, AND THE BATTERY TESTED WITHIN SPECS BUT WAS ON THE LOW END OF ACCEPTABLE. APPARENTLY IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, BUT STILL WITHIN SPECS, IT CAN AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ELECTRIC STEERING MOTOR AND OR SENSOR AND RESULT IN PULLING IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION STARTED IN 2016 & IT IS GETTING WORSE. ADDING A BOTTLE OF ENGINE OIL TWICE A MONTH. MY CAR ONLY HAS 103K MILES AND IS 2009. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW & IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY FAMILY AND I HEARD SOMETHING LIKE A GUNSHOT THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE. WE WERE TOO AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE OR LOOK OUT THE WINDOWS. BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T BEING DRIVEN MUCH AT THE TIME, A DAY OR 2 LATER I DISCOVERED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THAT EXPLAINED THE SOUND WE HEARD PREVIOUSLY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD (WITH THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL) THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ACCELERATION (BEGINS TO DECELERATE) DESPITE CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DRIVER MUST RELEASE THEIR FOOT FROM THE PEDAL AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. THE CAR ACCELERATES (SOMETIMES WITH HESITANCY) AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL JERK AS THE ENGINE REVS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE DISPLAYED. I CHANGED THE ENGINE AIR FILTER (THOUGH IT WAS NOT YET DUE FOR ITS NEXT CHANGE) AND I CLEANED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WITH THE THE APPROPRIATE SPRAY. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED (WITH 3 SEPARATE DRIVERS). IT WAS TAKEN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY AND ADDING A BOTTLE OF HEET TO THE GAS TANK. I ADDED ISO-HEET TO THE GAS TANK AND TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY WITH THE APPROPRIATE CLEANER AND ADDED A BOTTLE OF SEAFOAM TO THE GAS TANK. NONE OF THESE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A TEST DRIVE AND OBD-II SCAN. AGAIN, NO CODES. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OTHER OPTIONS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATES (GIVING NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER BEHIND ME, E.G. BRAKE LIGHT), THIS IS A REAR END ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. VERY SCARY.

MY 2018 CAMRY 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDERS/ SLIPS AT AROUND 30-40 MPH OR EVEN WHEN CRUISE IS SET AT 70-75MPH. IT SEEMS THE CPU HAS DIFFICULTY TRYING TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT GEAR FOR THE SPEED. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FOR OVER A SECOND.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL PUMP.OFNTHE CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY WAS IN THE RIGHTMOST LANE SO WAS ABLE TO MANOEUVR TO THE SHOULDER, BUT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS CLUELESS AND TOOK COUPLE DAYS TO.FIGURE OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP BLEW UP, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE CURRENT PROBLEM OF.FUEL.PUMP.ON NEWER MODEL MAY ALSO.BE RELEVANT TO.OTHER.OLDER MODELS

ENGINE
MY CAMRY PASSED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN MARCH 2015 AT RICK HENDRICK TOYOTA, SANDY SPRINGS GEORGIA. I INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT SHOULD OF FAILED BECAUSE I WAS ADDING OIL BETWEEN MAINTENANCE VISITS. IN DECEMBER 2019 MY CAR IS BURNING OIL FASTER THAN EVER. THE DEALERSHIP (RICK HENDRICK TOYOTA IN SANDY SPRINGS GEORGIA ) ADMINISTERED ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I AM STILL DOING THE TEST. HOWEVER, THE MANAGER TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, IT HAS 145,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT OF TOYOTA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2019 CAMRY SE. WHEN I AM ON A COMPLETE STOP OR AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO OR UNDER 6 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN SPEED, THE CAR TAKES A SECOND OR TWO TO RESPOND. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE ON A COMPLETE STOP AND THERE IS A LOT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC.

ENGINE
BURNS TOO MUCH OIL. FRIENDS WITH CAMRYS AND SCIONS BOTH HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SAME ISSUE. I BARELY MAKE IT TO 2000 MILE MARK AND HAVE TO ADD OIL. EVEN DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO BURN THROUGH TOO MUCH OIL. IF THEY KNOW THIS AND IT'S A PROBLEM FOR MANY THEN IT SHOULD BE FIXED.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DURING NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON AT HIWAY SPEED AND ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH IN PITCH BLACK! I HAD TO GUESS WHERE I WAS ON CURVED OVERPASS. I TRIED FLICKING THE HI/LOW BEAM SWITCH, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. COULDN'T GET LIGHTS TO COME ON UNTIL STOPPED, SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTARTED IT. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW. FIRST TIME WAS PRIOR TO ANY BODY DAMAGE, SECOND TIME IT WASN'T COMPLETELY PITCH BLACK SO NOT AS DANGEROUS. ANOTHER TRIP WE WERE ON 4 LANE INTERSTATE DRIVING THROUGH A CITY AND SOMEONE ELSE HAD HIT AN ORANGE CONSTRUCTION BARREL AND IT HAD FLIPPED UP INTO AIR AND WE HIT IT AT HIWAY SPEED ON LEFT FRONT CORNER OF CAR. HAD TO REPLACE BUMPER, HEADLIGHT, WASHER FLUID TANK, REPAIR FENDER. AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I AM AN EMT AND ANOTHER DAY WAS DRIVING TO A GUNSHOT CALL AT 80 MPH AND REACHED FOR PAGER AS IT WAS FALLING AND FRONT WHEEL DROPPED OFF SHOULDER AND I KNEW NOT TO CORRECT IT, SO JUST KEPT STRAIGHT AND CAME TO STOP IN SNOW FILLED DITCH. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED OUT, AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A DIFFICULT DITCH TO GET IT OUT OF. HAD GET GET IT REALIGNED AND REPLACE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT, BUMPER, AND SOME OTHER PLASTIC PIECES. THIRD TIME WE WERE T-BONED AT AN INTERSECTION IN TOWN, WOULD ESTIMATE LESS THAN 30 MPH, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DAMAGE WAS BAD ENOUGH IT WAS NOT DRIVEABLE ANYMORE AND INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR OUT. WE BOUGHT THE CAR BACK TO REPAIR IT TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT, BUT NOW I AM THINKING THAT WAS A POOR DECISION AS I WONDER ABOUT THE SAFETY OF IT. THE LAST ACCIDENT HAS ME VERY SHOOK UP AND I AM WAITING TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY NECK NOW BECAUSE OF IT. I WONDER IF THE SIDE AIR BAGS HAD WORKED, WOULD I NEED TO HAVE MY NECK FUSED.

MY 2019 CAMERY COMPLETELY STALLS AT TAKE OFF. YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT STALLS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO MY DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THINGS ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR IN THE FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS OR MERGE. I HAVE DROVE PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAD A ACCELERATION ISSUE. THIS DOES IT AT A FULL STOP IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET GOING ON THE TAKE OFF. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AS I HAVE READ UP ON IT AND LIVING PROOF MY CAR DOES IT AS WELL. I HAVE WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MINE AND THEY SAID THERE IS A ISSUE, BUT CAN'T WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NEEDS TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WHICH I AGREED; HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SAY IT'S FINE. THIS IS VERY AWFUL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING WITH THE PRE COLLUSION SYSTEM CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED THE CAR SLAMS ON IT'S BRAKES DROPPING UP TO 19 MPH INSTANTLY AND CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PER TOYOTA. IT ALMOST GOT ME RUN OVER BY A SEMI. I FILED VIA THE TOYOTA LEMON LAW WEBSITE TO NO AVAIL. IN 2018 THE PRE-COLLUSION SENSOR WAS TIED INTO THE PEDESTRIAN SENSOR. HENCE AT TIMES WHEN SENSING PERIPHERY IT SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. TOYOTA HAS 71 DISCLAIMERS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, BUT ALMOST EVERY TOYOTA SINCE 1018 HAS THIS DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY. SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND MY SALESMAN TOLD ME TO USE THE ALTERNATE CRUISE CONTROL SINCE IT HAPPENED TO HIM ALSO. I WAS ADVISED OF THE SAME BY TWO OF THEIR OTHER EMPLOYEES. THIS SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS. IT TYPICALLY ACTIVATED WHEN COMING UPON THE QUARTER PANEL OF ANOTHER CAN AND AT TIMES WHEN IT'S ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOME OF THE DISCLAIMERS STATE: "SNOW COMING OFF THE CAR IN FRONT, SIGNS, OTHER CARS, METAL IN THE ROAD" AND SO ON. TOYOTA EXUDES INDIFFERENCE AND INSULTS ME UPON INVESTIGATING THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. I EMAILED 114 NEWSPAPERS NATIONWIDE, BUT DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE PUBLISHED. I'VE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT HAPPENS BOTH ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AROUND OCT 1, 2018. TO MAKE THINGS MORE FRUSTRATING TWICE STATED THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR NO REASON. I DOUBT THAT ANYONE CARES, BUT I WARN YOU: DO NOT FOLLOW NEWER MODEL TOYOTA VEHICLES CLOSELY AS EXCEPT FOR THE RAV4 THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY PER TOYOTA. TWICE TOYOTA INFORMED ME MY CAR WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THAT MY FRIENDS IS AN IGNORANT STATEMENT. NO CAR IS DESIGNED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD. MINE HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 50 TIMES, BUT THERE SOFTWARE DOESN'T REVEAL THAT SO IT ALSO IS DEFICIENT.
