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.

The vehicle is a 2019 Toyota Camry XSE V6. It currently has 27,000 miles on it. On May 2, 2022 while crossing a busy 4 way intersection (35 mph) the car began to stall. The engine started to shake, impacting the ability to steer the car, the vehicle would not accelerate and nearly all of the dashboard lights turned on. It was taken to the dealership on May 3rd where a mechanic said a rock may have hit a sensor underneath the vehicle but that everything was fine. On May 4th while driving on the highway the same thing happened again. This time going around 65 mph. It was brought back to the dealership where they said it was a faulty ignition coil but that there were no OEM parts available and it was backordered with no ETA o repair. They advised to leave the vehicle as it was unsafe to drive. I asked why they didn't make me aware of it when it was brought in the day before and that they needed to fix it. I called Toyota Corporate and about an hour later the dealership let me know they would repair it with an aftermarket part. They commented that ignition coils normally do not go out in vehicles under 100K but it has been seen frequently on the 2019 Camry XSE V6 by the technicians. On May 6th the dealership claimed the vehicle was repaired. Driving back from the dealership on a local road (40mph) the same thing happened again. Dashboard lights turning on. Engine shaking the steering wheel. Car unable to accelerate. It was then taken back to the dealership again the same day. The dealership claimed to repair 2 ignition coils and that it should be fine. On May 11th the vehicle stalled again while driving on local roads (about 30 mph). It was again taken to the dealer where they claimed all 6 coils needed to be replaced at cost. I refused and claimed they needed to repair and left. On June 10th while driving on the highway (70mph) the same thing happened again. It was taken to another dealership. 3 coils replaced on 6/25. On 6/29 the same thing happened again

In JuneOf 2019 I got side swiped on the driver-€™s side beginning at the driver-€™s door while driving; the airbags did not deploy. The matter was taken care of by mutual agreement between attorney and other drivers insurance company (AAA). On 03/02/22 I was attempting to renew registration when I was informed that I had to take vehicle to dealer due to a recall on make and model before new registration could be issued. In the evening of 03/02/22 I stopped at the dealer and explained to one of the service reps that I was there because of a recall and he stated that there was a problem with airbags deploying WHILE driving; but it was too late in the evening because they were getting ready to close and the issue would take 2-3 hours to inspect. The following morning prior to the service department opening I dropped the car off for service. However, the service invoice makes no mention of the airbag system inspection. Instead, the invoice is for a low pressure fuel pump issue. As for my safety being affected, I now understand why the attorney handling the insurance claim as well as AAA-€™s insurance adjuster on the matter both stated -€œthat-€™s odd-€ when they asked me (at separate times) if the airbags had deployed and I answered -€œno-€. Apparently, according to the service techs comment on the recall having to do with airbags, my safety was in danger at the time of the accident in 2019. But instead of showing that the issue was taken care of on the invoice, in less than 24 hours the problem went from airbags to a low pressure fuel pump. How was my safety put at risk" Being that the impact occurred at the driver-€™s door while I was driving and airbags failed to deploy, had I not veered to my right up the curb I could-€™ve suffered serious injury to the left side of my body, at least. Has the problem been reproduced? Unknown. Has the vehicle component been inspected" From techs statement on 03/02/22 and invoice on 03/03/22, UNKNOWN. No warnings of any kind.

Consul screen keeps going blank. Software updated by the dealer, still happening. Approached the dealer today, they want to tale a screen shot when it happens. This may cause an accident. Per dealer this screen connects which almost all the electronics. Called Toyota about the same, they are saying dealer is the best to advise but screen shot while driving is not advisable. Reporting as this is seems to be safety issue. Dealer told me there is no guarantee this will be fixed.

We had our fuel pump replaced in March 2021 by recall on our 2019 Camry. Four months later, at 70 mph on the interstate, the engine cut out several times with the engine jerking on and off. Also, we had multiple malfunctions and warning lights on dash which included but were not limited to LDA Malfunction, Pre-collision system malfunction, secondary brake system malfunction, check engine light on and reduced cruise control malfunction. We were lucky and managed to get off the road without getting hit from behind. We got off the interstate and managed to get home in "limp mode" with the engine cutting out another 4-5 times. On July 16, 2021, the dealer installed a second fuel pump after they reproduced the problem and verified the pump installed in March, 2021 was the problem. The mechanic said the defective fuel pump would be returned to Toyota for them to cut open and examine. There were no messages or symptoms prior to this failure with multiple warning lamps and malfunction messages appearing as the fuel pump failed. Spouse now will not drive the car and I do not trust it.

I purchased the vehicle from a dealer in June of 2020 and was unaware of any ongoing recalls or that any required service had not been completed. I've had the vehicle in the shop multiple times for engine stalling while driving, engine shaking, misfiring, and loss of forward momentum. Not once did they tell me about the recall or that Toyota was aware of the problem until I took the vehicle to a different automotive shop. The new shop gave me all the recall information and advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive. The engine will sputter and shake in idle and in reverse. Consistently the vehicle shakes and runs very rough when in idle, reverse or attempting to accelerate from stop lights, red lights, parking lots, etc. Dealership told me that I wasn't used to the electronic fuel ignition and that the sputtering and delay in forward momentum was normal. One time I was driving 65mph and the vehicle stalled while on a island causeway. Luckily I was in the right had lane and was able to get off the road safely. Another time the vehicle stalled was in a parking lot (again slow speed) and again in reverse. The vehicle did sustain rodent damage to wiring on 2 occasions which the dealership repaired, noted the multiple engine misfires and "cleared the codes". the vehicle ran better for about a week and then the same problem begins reoccurring. The spark plugs continue to foul due to the engine fuel pressure issue.

The problem is when the car was running and I pressed the gas pedal the car did not accelerate, it took around 2 seconds for the car to accelerate but it speeds up suddenly. This fact may lead to an unexpected accident for the driver. Besides I checked the vehicle alert history, there is a record that showed a check engine alert regarding "a malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission has been detected" (see the attached image for detail)

I just got the car about a month and a 1/2 ago everything seemed fine until 2 weeks later after I purchased the vehicle I notice some lagging and hard jerking in the transmission when I barely push the accelerator I notice from 1st to 2nd gear it had a hard time wanting to know when to shift and when to wanna go smooth then a week and a 1/2 later the lane departure light turns on and the crash control I turned them off but it still turned on even know I went into the vehicle settings to turn them off a week following the lights started coming on more progressive except this time it deactivates all the cameras front and back I went 3 times and the main mechanic said not exaggerating like a phone it needs to learn how to work itself over time it will get better the only way we can fix it is when you brake down and get towed* all know is, is that the vehicle doesn't seem to know when to want to shift correctly there is a lag when pushing the pedal, when yielding and go it jerks hard when slowing down I feel it downshifting hard eith little thuds and my sensor lights come on and deactivate my cameras

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.
