I financed my 2019 Toyota Camry LE with about 43,000 miles on it in 09, 2022. After having the vehicle for a couple days I noticed a delay in acceleration especially when starting from a stand still. I press on the gas to make a right turn onto a busy street and my car stalled/lagged for a couple of seconds before the car lurched and the rpm-??s jumped up significantly. I was almost hit by a car since my car wasn-??t able to pick up speed in time and the stall/lag placed me in harms way and kept me there. The car swerved and honked at me rightly so. When breaking getting off the freeway and my car shakes violently and the brakes doesnt seem to be working 100%. I took my car into an autobody shop near me work where I voiced all my concerns and needed to know if I just bought a faulty car. After doing a full inspection and a test drive the mechanic agreed about the delayed acceleration but the car didn-??t have any warning codes so they assumed that their was nothing wrong with the car. I continued to drive the car and tried my best to write off the way the car drives as normal not worry. More and more incidents occurred where I was almost hit due to the lag in acceleration. Now the lag is accompanied by the car shaking/jolting through the lag. The shaking while breaking started happening from medium speeds as well as the higher speed previously. My car has also gotten increasingly louder when started, running, and in idle. The engine over revs continuously. I have a hard time keeping the car at a steady speed. I called Toyota and have an appointment tomorrow AM to have this checked on though I-??m not optimistic that they will take responsibility for defect let alone fix my actual problem. From the research I-??ve done on this car I found that people with similar issues were ignored/dismissed by Toyota and given no compensation. I have 3,000 miles left of warranty. I have 5.5 years and 20k+ to pay off and I-??m afraid I-??ll be left with a hunk of junk and out a lot of money.

My 2019 Toyota Camry was left in my driveway for three days during the winter, and during that time, a rodent or rodent(s) got inside the engine and insulation and ate the engine cover, multiple writing harnesses, damaged the ignition coil(s), and rendered the vehicle un-operable, requiring a tow to Toyota for repair. The initial DTCs from the rodent were Cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, pre-collision system, emergency brakes, and parking brakes, among others. When the 2019 Camry was left in my driveway for three days, two other cars were also parked, one on each side of the Camry, and sustained no rodent damage. Come to find out, the electrical components, insulation, and writing harness in Toyota vehicles all contain a Soy ingredient that apparently rodents love.

While traveling at interstate speeds (about 68 MPH) a vehicle in front of me (about 6 car lengths ahead) hit a pickup truck. I hit the brakes and then my car's auto braking system was activated (displaying on the dashboard) but it did not feel like my car was slowing down. I then proceeded to push the break all the way to the floorboard and my car did not slow down causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me. It felt like the auto-breaking system was preventing me from applying full braking power. When I pushed the break petal to the floor it felt like I was pushing on air. There was no resistance on the petal as there normally would be. There were no skid marks on the road and after the impact, my vehicle would not move. I had to put the car in park and then back into drive to move off the road.

4 days ago, after driving about an hour, I got an alert that said low braking power. This was after I had tuned my vehicle off to go into convenience store for a few minutes, then went through drive thru and got back in the road when it first alerted me. I took a picture of the alerts that popped up. I immediately changed direction and drove less than 10 miles to Tuscaloosa Toyota. They found no fault codes. I drove the car the next day with no alerts. 3rd day, it popped on and back off a few times. Today it came on after about an hour, this time while I was applying brakes, then would disappear. They diagnosed the issue and informed me of the below needed repair-€¦ Brake - Hydraulic Brake Booster Pump: BRAKE BOOSTER NO HOLDING VACUUM $1,274.73 I am aware that there were some recalls associated with this for my year model that did not involve my VIN. Hoping to get more information on the recall.

1st time this happened I turned car on around 4am after work and numerous alerts came on (LDA, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM, PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION, SECONDARY COLLISION BRAKE SYSTEM).I Kept turning car on and off but still alerts light up and not allow me to drive due to brakes on. Had to disconnect battery then connect and alerts were gone. 2nd time I was driving and all sensor lights came up again. Locked up my brakes and luckily no cars near by that could have hit me. Took video of the issues when happened. Also on my screen the messages appear of what was malfunctioning. I am scheduling appointment for issue to be checked. But have had other people state same issue happened to them and decided to report issue. Will see if dealer finds issue, even though others people with same issues have not got a resolved issue from dealers. 1st incident was on 10/22/21 and 2nd incident was on 10/26/21

Since I bought my 2019 Camry in September of 2019. On 5 different occasions when I applied the brakes. The brake pedal went almost completely to the floorboard. I had to pump the brake pedal several times to build pressure to stop. It's happened twice on the highway and 3 times on city streets. I've taken it in to the dealership multiple times. Only for them to tell me they can't duplicate my concerns. I've stated to them every time that it happens randomly while I'm driving. It's not something that can be easily duplicated.

On 5 separate occasions the brake pedal went almost completely to the floor board when trying to stop. I had to pump the brakes 2 to 3 times to build pressure to come to a stop. I've taken it to the dealer several times, only for them to tell me they can't duplicate my concerns. Even though I told them it happens randomly. It's not something that can be easily duplicated. This is a vehicle that I'm afraid to drive. For my safety, my passengers and for the general public on the road

Started noticing that the car was feeling weak when accelerating, and with no reason at all, at speeds around 70mph the car shuts down completely. You lose steering and braking capabilities which makes it hard to safely merge into the emergency lane. Toyota has a knowledged the recall but with no remedy as of yet (it has been since October 2020 that they recall was issued), and says car is unsafe that if I drive vehicle to stay in right lane of interstate which to me is just as dangerous as traveling in any lane on interstate, though they recommended not driving vehicle. As far as I can tell, the vehicle only will stall out at a higher speed (around 70mph).

Camry 4-cyl

  • 9,000 miles
I have a 2019 Toyota Camry hybrid le which purchased as brand new. After 2-3 months of driving, I noticed that at low speeds and particularly when the road is very flat if the car hits any kind of pothole or bump, there is a grinding noise coming from the front breaks (or maybe the cvt gears engaging for regenerative breaking) and sometimes even the ABS light starts shining in the dashboard. This is not easily replicable but it's most likely to happen when slowing down behind a stop sign or red light. At higher speeds or if the breaks are applied with higher force this issue is almost entirely not present. Also, I've not noticed it while the vehicle is turning, it usually only happens when slowing down on a straight and flat road and suddenly one of the tires goes off balance.

Camry

  • 5,000 miles
While driving up a hill, the Camry would not accelerate with the gas pedal fully pressed. At the top of the hill, the Camry with the transmission in drive began rolling backward down the hill at what was approximately 25-30 mph. The brake would not stop the movement of the car. Eventually, the emergency brake was also put in place. The Camry rolled down the entire hill and stopped when the back tire hit the curb. The car was still on and in drive mode. We did not collide with any other cars because most were off the street. It was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, we could have been severely injured or worse. This took place on a city street. The hill is very walkable. The fact that the car would not accelerate with the gas pedal fully depressed is alarming for a new car with less than 4 months of use. The brakes would not stop the car from rolling backward while the transmission was in drive. Once the car stopped, it showed a car failure notice. The car was towed to Toyota and remains with the dealership today..
