2019 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

BRAKES VIBRATE SINCE 10,000 MILES. DEALER WAS ADVISED AT FIRST SERVICE. BRAKES HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. DRIVING AS NORMAL, NO EXCESSIVE BRAKING HAS BEEN DONE. BRAKES SKIPPING WHEN APPLIED. DEALER HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT ON 4/9/19 THAT RESULTED IN $7,600 + PROPERTY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS INJURIES AND NO ONE ANSWERED THE SOS CONNECT SYSTEM AFTER IT WAS CALLED POST ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE BODY SHOP SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND I JUST GOT IT BACK THIS PAST THURSDAY 5/23/19. ON 5/24/19 I TRIED TO TEST THE SOS SYSTEM AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND STILL RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DURING ALL CALLS, PROCEEDING STRAIGHT ON CITY ROADS. I HAVE AUDIO FOOTAGE FROM MY DASH CAM TO SUPPORT IT DID NOT WORK BUT THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD.

ON JUNE 18, 2019 CAR WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHILE MAKING A TURN AND LANDED HARD BY THE FRONT IN A DIRTY PIT AREA NEAR A GAS STATION NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND THE FENDER LOOKS DAMAGE.

BRAND NEW CAMRY 2019 (3,105 MILES, OWNED FOR 2 MONTHS) LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY - DRIVER CONSOLE (SPEEDOMETER, SCREEN, ETC) WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF - HAD TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING, THE FOLLOWING WAS DISPLAYED; MASTER WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION MARK), POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, DRIVER SCREEN IN CONSOLE DISPLAYED MESSAGE READING "STEERING POWER LOW. VISIT YOUR DEALER". VEHICLE WAS TURNED BACK OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED - NONE OF THE PREVIOUS WARNINGS WERE DISPLAYED. NO SYMPTOMS OR ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. SUSPICIOUS COMPONENTS / POTENTIAL ISSUES WERE CHECKED AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. WAS TOLD TO RETURN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WEST, INTO AN AFTERNOON SUN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A BLINDING SUN REFLECTION FROM THE BACK SECTION OF THE HOOD. THE STYLING OF THE HOOD CREATES A BLINDING SUN GLARE. THE LAST 1 625 INCHES OF THE HOOD IS AT A NEGATIVE PLANE. THE ARCH OF THE REAR SECTION OF THE HOOD, COMBINED WITH THE NEGATIVE PLANE, INTENSIFIES SUN REFLECTION TO AN UNSAFE LEVEL. THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN INTO THE DRIVERS EYES HAS A BLINDING EFFECT AND OBLITERATES THE HEADS UP DISPLAY.

PUSH TO TALK USUALLY DOES NOT WORK. GPS NOT RECOGNIZING VERIFIED ADDRESSES AND VERY INACCURATE. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION OF PHONE AND TOYOTA SYSTEM DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING DURING CALLS. HAVE DOCUMENTED EACH PROBLEM WITH PHOTOS AND WITNESSES, BUT SINCE CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED IN SHOP, THEY IGNORE. TOYOTA DEALER AND NATIONAL CLAIMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED, BUT NONE AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT PROBLEM, NOW JUST A CASE NUMBER TO NATIONAL. DEALER HAS TRIED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA. THIS OCCURS STATIONARY AND WHAT IS ALLOWED, WHEN DRIVING.TOYOTA NOT STANDING BY WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE UNIT!

WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE STALLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH VEHICLE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ITS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN YOU SLOW AT INTERSECTIONS OR FOR A TURN AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT PAUSES AS IF THE ENGINE HAS DIED BUT ENGINE IS RUNNING, JUST NO RESPONSE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONE TIME WHILE TRYING TO PAS A SLOW TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, PULLED OUT TO PASS AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE JUST STALL AS IF ENGINE HAD STOPPED AND WAS LEFT IN ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, VERY SCARY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCURATE. VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST IMPACTED REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC BUT VEHICLE STALLED. BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST TEN OR MORE TIMES WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.

REACCELARATION SHOCK, TRANSMISSION LAG, ESPECIALLY UPON RE-ACCELERATION FROM COASTING OR WHEN TRYING TO OVERTAKE SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY, DANGEROUS. LUGGING AND SHIFT SHOCK ON DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING, FEELS LIKE YOU GET REAR ENDED SOMETIMES. WHEN ON A COMPLETE STOP AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THEN IT JERKS INTO GEAR.

TRANSMISSION SEEM VERY UNRESPONSIVE WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR. REVS UP TO 2500 BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. ALMOST WAS HIT WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN.

4 WAY EMERGENCY FLASHERS TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENED FIRST DAY WE OWNED CAR BEFORE WE GOT HOME FROM DEALER, THEN AGAIN 17000 MILES LATER. FLASHER BUTTON DOES NOT AFFECT THE FLASHING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FLASHING STOPS WHEN ENGINE RESTARTED, THEN STARTS UP AGAIN RANDOMLY AFTERWARD. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. FIRST TIME CLOUDY WEATHER, SECOND TIME CLOUDY AND WET WEATHER. FIRST TIME DEALER 'LUBED' THE FLASHER SWITCH. SECOND TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A FAULT OR REASON FOR THE INCIDENT.
