My cluster lens is broken out of nowhere. My car wasn't hit or anything. It was just sitting in my garage.

I had been driving my car on the turnpike for about 3.5 S when smoke started coming out of the area against the windshield where the rear view mirror is attached inside of the vehicle. A fire then spontaneously started. I pulled over and put out the fire by throwing water onto the area from a bottle of water I had in my car causing my windshield to crack. As a result of the fire my anti-collision system and other systems(automatic headlights) no longer work. I contacted Toyota to notify them of the issue. They sent an inspector to meet me at a dealership and told me that is was due to my windshield being replaced 18 months prior by safelite and I didn't use Toyota windshield (letter attached). Toyota returned my car and the area still heated up and smoked. I took it upon myself to remove the housing behind the rear view mirror and found that the metal camera was over heating and causing the plastic housing to melt (pictures attached). I unplugged the camera and the safety issue is resolved. However, that camera controls the anti-collision system and my automatic headlights.

In deep white sands desert car keys locked inside the trunk. After opting for the passenger side door using the hanger anchor method whole car computerized system went down and there is no way to open then trunk from inside the car. 2018 Camry has no lever any pull-down seats to open the trunk. Park Ranger took me to the nearest town Toyota dealership(desert sun Toyota,3333 N white sands blvd, alamogordo, nm 88310), the dealership was not having the ability to cut the new laser key they were not even aware 2018 you can't open the trunk by a lever or pulling down seats. It was cold and dark and family with kids sitting in the dunes alone while I was working with Toyota dealership for a new keys. After doing all brainstorming the last solution came to me was make a hole behind number plate to open the trunk latch. A good man agreed to come to the park and open the trunk by drilling the hole. I was able to make my family safe. After reaching dallas (my home) I sent an email to Toyota North America CEO james about the whole incident and his office called me after the email but not accepting this as a defect and denied to help me to fix my holey car. The 6 hrs I spent with family to just open the trunk is a serious defect in the 2018 Camry. This is very common to lose keys while taking stuff out of the trunk. If the happens on nowhere lands and no cell phone signals then it is dangerous.

I have two problem with my new car: 1) I have a moldy odor coming from out ac system within a few months of purchasing the new car, and when I brought it to the dealer service center, I was notified that I could flush the ac system and install a charcoal cabin filter, but there is no permanent solution to fixing the odor coming from the car. 2) my car is experiencing acceleration problems when I'm trying to speed up to change lines on a freeway or merging onto a freeway and need to accelerate to get up to speed. When I press the gas, my engine revs but doesn't respond for 3-5 seconds. This becomes really dangerous as I cannot predict when it happens and it's usually occurs when I'm speeding up to merge or change lanes.

The passenger side dashboard where the airbag deploys, you can visibly see the lines and it is slightly raised in the middle. I've never own a vehicle, especially a new car that you could visibly see the exact lines where the airbag deploys. I wouldn't be concerned, but I know if this exact problem on another Camry near me.

When one starts the car by pushing the start bottom, the car will start to shake and soon a very load cracking and rattling noise will began coming from the engine. Engine light will come on while driving in the city and then turns off causing the driver to be aware of some issue. Once the concerning noise goes away the car continues to shake but eventually stops after a while. This could make the car to stall and causing a potential crash. The vehicle left blind side detector does not respond 100%, it only works about 60% of the time. This causes the driver to think he/she are clear to turn to the left lane in the city and highway and it can cause the driver to hit another car and potentially crashing. The screen panel glitches from time to time while driving in the highway causing the driver to not be able to see and locate radio stations or manipulate the panel.

The very first and serious problem with this 2018 Camry le is its gas pedal. It is very stiff and hard to press the gas pedal. Due to that it gets so hard to give gas power to engine and due to that car give jerks to pick up the acceleration and start jerking and secondly due to that steering wheel also get really tight and also it makes the shifting of the gear of transmission get stuck. Gas pedal need to be soft, when you press the pedal to give the race or acceleration to car for to change gears automatically from transmission. It is very serious hazard when the gas pedal get stuck and stay stiff very hard

Ac system smells like mold. Started when veg only had 5000 miles

When driving theres a tightness in the steering wheel, went to the Toyota dealer to find out whats is wrong in my car and saying that there is internal mechanical failure in the car that they cannot figure it out, the car was only 2 years old and still low mileage in the car and I never experience that kind of issues before. Just wondering its a newer car and already have issues. Toyota last long thats why I choosed to buy it.

Takata recall. Whenever I engages the brake or slow down and try to continue driving the car hesitates and jerks and it does this from day 1 that bought the car

- Bunnlevel, NC, USA

1. every time I back out of my driveway my brakes squeak very loudly. 2. the transmission never knows what gear to be in while driving and will clunk in and out of gear while in motion. 3. has a terrible burning smell of plastic and oil like when the car engine is hot. 4. drive side cabin has a constant antifreeze smell while running the A/C 5. the engine has a horrible load knocking noise while running. It sounds like a very old car. 6. I don't know what's wrong with the acceleration of the car or if it was designed this way but the 3-5 sec delay is dangerous I have complained about each one of these items to the Toyota dealer in gastonia nc at the 5 mile, 10mile and 15mile service and each time the dealer just tells me its fine and that's normal.

Defective transmission: 1: car hesitates to speed up from a full stop or while in motion. 2: RPM's go over 3000 before car reacts (2-3 seconds delay), dangerous specially when taking curves or merging into traffic (highways, fast traffic roads). 3: I feel a "hiccup" like movement while in motion (sometimes). 4: car hesitates to shift or shifts whit excessive power. 5: downshifts and loss of acceleration (it happens erratically) 6: I heard a soft metal-to-metal "knock" sound when I lift my foot from gas pedal while in motion. Until now this are the symptoms I'm experiencing with my 2018 Camry 4-cyl, certainly something I wasn't expecting from a Toyota product. The unpredictable behavior of this car is dangerous, I never know when is going to response as it should do or when I'll have to floor it so it can rev up and finally move.

Blindspot not working on passenger side. I took my car to Toyota in for service today. I informed them about this issue. They informed me that they cannot duplicate this issue. I sent them pictures of the blind spot coming on at random time or not coming on at all. The photo attached was me driving down a two lane road and it coming on, which shouldn't be happening at all. I even have a 15 second video of me passing an 18 wheeler. As I passed this vehicle on my right the warning light never came on. The dealer again told me if it doesn't happen to them then they can't replace this under warranty. This car was bought brand new and now has 19,650 miles.

Shortly after purchase, driver side door window/lock/mirror control panel popped-out easily, when window control up was activated. Fortunately, I was stationary at the time, so I wasn't driving and startled/distracted by it (I.e., potential safety issue). Appears to be a retainer clip issue. I reported it to local Toyota dealership, who couldn't fix it, so I shimmed the clip, and haven't had an issue, since, though it may not be easy to extract, should the need arise! no such issue with passenger side control panel. Uploaded images extracted from mov video, should you wish to review it, available upon request via E-mail (I'd have to upload it to my website, because it's a huge file).

8 speed transmission the transmission performs poorly, regularly stalling between shifts, causing a lag in acceleration. It can't seem to pick a gear, leaving the vehicle stalled briefly, while the accelerator is depressed. Once, at a large intersection, in a high traffic area, from a stop, I attempted a right turn. The car stalled, while I depressed the accelerator, causing a mild panic, as I was confronted with an 18 wheeler attempting to turn into my lane. The car eventually accelerated, getting me out of the way, in a harried and frustrated huff at the poor performance of this new car. The transmission does not mis-perform upon every single shift of the gears, but there will be mis-performance occurring on every single trip taken in the car.

This is a sw bug in the map navigation setup that is dangerous. This Camry has a freeway map mode setup where the screen can be set for 50% map + 50% freeway exits. The mode can also be setup for 100% map if that is preferred. This setting can only be set in the context of driving on the freeway. The default setting is the 50-50 map mode. The real problem is that the setting alway reverts back to the default setting through turning the car off and on. The setting does not get stored in non-volatile memory. The driver must reset the map-mode every time, and they must do it while driving at freeway speeds. This is dangerious!

On December 6, 2018, I purchased a 2018 Camry with 65 miles. I am writing to you regarding my accelerator pedal problem. This letter also documents the second incident with the accelerator pedal. The first incident occurred in a parking lot and left me stranded for 4 hours and then without a car for a day. The second incident occurred while I was making a right turn in traffic and the car issued a master warning light, a warning buzzer, and a message on the multi-information display that quickly disappeared. Something is wrong with the accelerator control system or pedal itself. This is a safety issue. The following information is provided to help diagnose and fix the problem. On the fourth incident, I have a video that clearly shows there is an accelerator problem. In three of the four incidents, I was backing up in "R" and noticed there was no accelerator pedal, placed car in "D" and still no accelerator pedal than it would just go. If the car is unable to accelerate either in a turn or in any situation, than an accident or death could occur. Currently car is at a Toyota dealer. Toyota did nothing on the first two visits, as there were "no codes" and would do nothing unless a code was present. I provided them with a video of the fourth incident and it seems they might be a bit more interested.

This is my third Toyota car that I buy as a brand new car and I was so excited about grtting a 2018 Camry SE but am very disspoint it with this situation man so this is whats happening to the car the vehicle has issues with the transmission there are times when the car can't seem to decide what gear to pick and when to engage it resulting in a second or two of dead acceleration once the vehicle decides what to do, it sends an excessive amount of power to the wheels with unintended acceleration rates. This has been an issue since I bought the car so please let me know what we can do because I dont like how this brand new transmission works. 2.the second pronlem is that that car start shaking when am going over 70 miles per hour on the highway and I know exactly that is not with balance and not alighnmrnt because idont feel the steering wheel shaking I fell the shaking is comming from the engine I can guaranteed U that is coming from there because when I stop accelareting it goes away but once I accelerate again starts that vibration again so Toyota needs to be more specific and making sure that they're customer are 100%% happy with their car and stop testing this brand news platform with the people money because I can telk U that at least 40 percent of the people they are regreting of buying this car just because this kinda of problem so I wish theres a remedy tgat Toyota it might xonsidering to fix this inds of problem which I hate about it St all

3 times the collision prevention stop working while I was driving at the high way. You have to turn the car off and then turn it on to for the collision prevention system to work again. And this is so dangerous. The transmission sometimes glitch and not working properly and shifits like crazy. I feel it sometimes that car sounds not right because it should shift smoothly. Air condition when it on cold the fan can give good air streem which is good but when it on heat the fan is so slow and it doesn't give good air streaming. I was trying to find a way to report this to generate recall but I didn't know how until I found your website.
