POWER TRAIN
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.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID I HAVE HAD HIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH IT TILL YESTERDAY AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY ALL THE SUDDEN THIS LOUD BUZZING NOISE STARTED I TAPPED THE BRAKES AND HAD NO BRAKES I WAS GOING 55MPH AND HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LOL BRAKE I HAD TO SHIFT DOWN TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. THIS IS A FAULTY PART FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT AND IT'S SERIOUS ! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER IT'S THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND BRAKES ARE NEEDED ! MY CAR HAS OVER 150000 SO IT DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SAFETY CAMPAIGN. ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE HAD TO BE A PROBLEM BEFORE IT COULD BE COVERED ! IF I WOULD HAVE WRECKED WITH MY GRANDCHILD IN THIS VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA ON THIS MATTER !! THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SHOULD BE RECALLED !

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, GEAR GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND, WHEN IT DOES, THE AC DOES NOT WORK. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. OVER TIME, THE OTHER GAUGES AND THE AC BECAME INVOLVED. WHEN THESE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE GAUGES WORK, THE AC ALSO WORKS. I AM TOLD THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE WAS MAKING NOISE ANS INTERMITTENTLY STALLED. TOOK THE DEALER. HE CHARGED $135 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THE ENGINE IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. REAL SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $4500. HE DID NOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. I GOT THE ENGINE OILED FILLED AND DROVE BACK HOME. THE CAR IS USELESS FOR ME. I CANNOT SELL IT OR TRADE IT. IT IS A JUNK NOW.

POWER TRAIN
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE BECAUSE ITHE VISOR WAS ROTATING DOWNWARD AND DETACHING FROM THE CEILING BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. A LITTLE WHILE LATER I RECEIVED A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE" FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS VISOR PROBLEM. I STILL HAD THE REPAIR RECEIPT SO I MAILED IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY REIMBURSED ME. NOW IT IS BROKEN AGAIN. IT COMPLETELY FALLS DOWN WITH NO SUPPORT WHAT-SO-EVER AND DETACHES FROM THE CEILING FREQUENTLY. I HAVE A STRING WITH A CLOTHES PIN TO HOLD IT PARTIALLY UP BUT MY VISION IS STILL BLOCKED SOME AND THE CLOTHES PIN DOESN'T HOLD IT VERY LONG. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE NOT ABUSED THIS VISOR IN ANYWAY. I STILL HAVE THE PAPERWORK FOR THE REPAIR AND THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE LETTER. THERE IS NO NUMBER ON THIS LETTER BUT AT THE BOTTOM IN TINY LETTERS IS ZTT CAMRY N5E086-00000803-104 IF THIS IS ANY HELP. I LIVE IN A DIFFERENT STATE NOW BUT DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.

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.

WHEELS
4 NEW YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND P215 60 R16 TIRES PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA DEALER/SERVICE CENTER ON 4/10-11/18, CAR MILEAGE 82455. ON 6/6/18 ONE TIRE REPLACED DUE TO LARGE BULGE IN SIDE WALL OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE (CAR MILEAGE 84540). REQUESTED THAT ALL OTHER TIRES BE INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS AT THE TIME THIS TIRE WAS REPLACED; WAS TOLD ALL OTHER TIRES WERE FINE; NO BULGES. ON 6/11/18 (5 DAYS LATER) NOTED A BULGE IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WHICH IS 3 INCH BY 2 INCH. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM I WANT A REFUND ON THESE TIRES AS I DON'T TRUST THE YOKOHAMA TIRES ANY MORE...WAITING FOR A RESPONSE IN BOTH CASES, FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DO A LOT OF INTERSTATE TRAVEL. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE WAS A TIRE SALE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THESE TIRES' SINCE TWO OF THE FOUR OF MY NEW TIRES (SO FAR) WERE DEFECTIVE, I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE PURCHASED TIRES DURING THIS SALE. I'M NOT SURE HOW I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BUBBLE, BUT WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ANY RECEIPT INFORMATION NEEDED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE. PLEASE ADVISE.
