On three separate occasions the Pre Collision System has inappropriately activated while driving at high speeds. It seems to occur during dusk/dark and when it is raining. Two out of the three times it applied the brake, which easily could have resulted in an accident. I inspected the wiring for one of the sensors underneath the hood which appears fine. The sensors were cleaned off in all of these instances.

The car randomly slams on the brakes even when you aren-??t near anything. Yes it-??s available for inspection. The safety problem is you could be rear ended at any time when this occurs. My husband was driving on the freeway at high speeds when it happened one time. The other incidents happened to me thankfully at a slower speed but while moving on the road. Also while pulling out or into parking spots. I know it is a safety feature so you don-??t hit things but I know how to drive and when I can back up safely without it slamming the brakes on. It has not been inspected and there were no warning lights indicating something was wrong.

Subject: Urgent Safety Concerns: 2019 Toyota Camry XSE ABS Brake System/ ABS Actuator Issue Description: In late July, while on the freeway, I faced an alarming situation with six brake system malfunction indicator lights. After briefly turning off and restarting the engine, the warning lights cleared. 6 Warning Lights: LDA Malfunction, Pre-Collision System Malfunction, Lower Braking Power, Antilock Brake System Malfunction, Parking Brake Malfunction, and Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction. Timeline: Around 38,900 miles, during an August 19th maintenance appointment, the technician identified error code C1300, indicating an ABS skid control ECU malfunction and advised dealer contact. In September, during my first visit to the dealer for this issue, despite mentioning C1300, the dealer recommended a battery replacement, which didn't resolve the issue. 2nd Visit to Dealer Service Center: Toyota dealer service detected code C1300 and recommended replacing the ABS Actuator for an estimated cost of $2,009.41. However, this may not guarantee issue resolution, requiring further diagnostics due to potential concurrent unknown factors. C1300 Code: The ABS skid control ECU outputs this DTC if malfunction are found in the circuit inside the ECU by self-diagnosis. Manufacturing Defect: I strongly believe that this malfunction in the ABS skid control ECU is a manufacturing defect. It's rare for a newer, low-mileage vehicle to experience such a critical issue. Safety Implications: This malfunction poses life-threatening hazards, including loss of anti-lock braking, extended braking distances, reduced steering control, decreased stability, increased risk in adverse conditions, and traction control issues. Repetitive Contact with Toyota Headquarters: Despite multiple attempts, Toyota hasn't accepted responsibility. Request for Immediate Attention: I urge the NHTSA to investigate this ABS system malfunction and ensure Toyota's accountability for customer safety.

This is an extension to a previous complaint filed 8/15/23, complaint #11538570 I'm still experiencing safety issues and engine related problems with this vehicle after towing it to the dealership 8/8/23. Following 14 days of non-DTC codes coming up, at Sloane Glenside Toyota Service Center, the computer diagnostic finally revealed P107A2A and P12D501 issues. Although these codes indicate a fuel sensor and fuel pump control and electrical failure issues, the technician replaced a "vacuum switching value because of a low fuel pressure. I picked up the vehicle after the codes were reportedly cleared, and 5 days later, on 8/26, new dashboard warnings revealed a LDA malfunction, pre-collison malfunction, and a secondary break malfunction; all safety related, that caused the vehicle engine light to reappear, shaking violently, idling and eventually shutting down while traveling at approx. 30 miles, in the middle of a busy Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, road. I was unable to report this concern again to the dealer as it was on Saturday, after 5pm, and no staff was onsite. I plan to tow the vehicle back to toyota first thing Monday morning, 8/28/23.

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
