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).

The driver 2 had bloodied nose from air bag deployment. The passenger air bags in vehicle 2 were also deployed but there was no actual passenger.

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.

The contact owned a 2019 Toyota Camry. While driving 10 mph, the forward collision system failed to engage correctly and caused the contact to slam on the brake pedal. As a result, the emergency braking system did not engage and the contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained minor injuries to the right shoulder, back, and neck. Medical attention was not recieved. A police report was not failed. The vehicle was towed by the contact's insurance company to a collision center. The vehicle was deemed totaled. Toyota of olympia (6969 tyee dr. Sw, tumwater, wa 98512, (360) 539-3939) was contacted, but did not assist. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 1908201158.

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..
