I started hearing a "noise" over the course of 2 weeks. When the accelerator was depressed, the vehicle never accelerated. The vehicle also seemed as though it was losing power, but no lights ever came on. I have only taken my vehicle to the dealership to be serviced. The maintenance has been done regularly and without fail. When I brought the car in for regular maintenance I had them check for the noise and they said they didn't find anything. I took a video before leaving for work the following day, and brought the car back. Because it sounded it was coming from the wheel well they charged me for a diagnostic and said one of the plates for my brakes was bent. The following day it was still making the same noise, but when I went to accelerate the car shut off in the middle of a major highway and then the check engine lights started flashing. I took it back to the dealership and they claimed it was an air flow component, said it would be repaired, and kept the car for 5 days. After the repair, it was still making the "noise" and that is when they said it was the transmission and I would be responsible for the repair. This happened at 150,098 miles. Needless to say, I will not be paying for that repair. I believe this is a Toyota issue and the customer, especially one who has been religious in maintenance and upkeep, should not have to bear the cost of a their design failure. I was also told although in the maintenance manual, Toyota has decided against flushing the transmission because it is sealed. No warning lights, messages, or anything of the sort ever appeared until the check engine light came on.

Transmission is failing in 2019 Camry XSE. Toyota will not back the repair. Transmissions are on backorder, so it should be a recall. The car is making a loud noise and starting to "lunge" while driving.

The sealed transmission went completely out and we were on the side of a road in a driveway, so we had to try to cross the road on a hill. Fortunately we did not get hit. The vehicle is in another state as I was travelling for Christmas eve celebration with my family. The car is at a toyota dealership in Roanoke, Virginia. We did not get any warning until it completely lost all power and then the engine light came on. We had no idea anything was wrong with the transmission until it started making a loud noise after stopping at a grocery store and we started moving again. The car only has 81,00 miles and certainly should not have gone out that early. I do not have an extended warranty, so this is costing me a little over $9,000. This model does have a sealed transmission, so there's no way to check the fluid.

I purchased my Toyota Camry in 2020 with only 4995 miles on it from the Toyota dealership. It is now 2024 and I only have 69,000 miles on it and the transmission is bad. I took it Toyota and they revealed it is an inner transmission issue and I would need a completely new transmission. This is insane considering that Toyota makes money off of saying they have reliable cars. I have gotten maintenance on my car and mainly only drive it to and from work. There was no warning signs on my dashboard about this and I drive with my 3 year old son in it. I started to hear a winding noise in car when accelerating and occasionally some kick back. Now car is stuck at a dealership with no idea of when a new transmission will be placed because Toyota said it is on a nationwide back order. After doing some research I found that many other customers owning a 2019 Toyota are having the same problem with there transmissions clocking out between 65,000-85,000 miles. My safety was put at risk along with my child-??s because there was not even a light on the dashboard that showed something was wrong with the car.

My 2019 Toyota Camry SE experienced a transmission failure due to slipping gears. The issue became apparent when the car hesitating during acceleration, with noticeable jerking and a lack of smooth shifting between gears. Despite routine maintenance, the transmission-??s performance progressively worsened, with the slipping becoming more frequent and severe. Now i'm unable to drive my car anymore.

Transmission failure

Vehicle has a complete transmission failure at 67,000 miles. Purchased 10 of 2018 with 5 year/ 60k drive train warranty. Vehicle has been correctly maintained since purchased. No maintenance or fluid change required by manufacture. Car would hesitate/ buck and made strange noise from transmission. Took it to be inspected at our mechanical the next day. Shop pulled codes from the car and then referred us to a transmission shop. They reported the fluid was burned and transmission needed to be replaced. Vehicle is not drive able at this point. Purchase dealership said to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis, but it would not be covered as it is out of the drive train warranty by a year and 7000 miles. No TSB's or recalls from Toyota at this time. Transmission shop reported that Toyota has a problem with these 8 speed transmissions and they are on national back order. Vehicle has been out of service for 3 weeks with no ETA on the transmission assembly from Toyota as of today. Total repair estimate is over $6000 and rental has accrued over $1500 in fees as of today.

The issue with the 2019 Toyota Camry SE appears to be a malfunction of the vehicle's transmission system, specifically related to the 8-speed automatic transmission, which is known to have a recurring issue. Around one month ago, the vehicle began to produce a whining noise coming from the transmission, which progressively worsened over time. Despite the absence of warning lights or messages, the noise raised concerns regarding the transmission's performance. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a Toyota service station, where the transmission was serviced, but the issue remained unresolved. Upon inspection, the dealership confirmed the presence of the whining noise and noted in their service receipt that a new transmission would be required. This suggests a significant failure within the transmission system that was not addressed through the initial service. The 8-speed automatic transmission in these Camry models has been reported to have consistent problems, which should not have occurred at this mileage (158,000 miles) under normal conditions. At this point, it is reasonable to believe that this issue is tied to a known defect with the 8-speed automatic transmission and may require a recall for affected vehicles. The safety of the driver and others could be at risk if the transmission fails completely, especially if it leads to an unexpected loss of power or control over the vehicle. However, no formal inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives has been mentioned as of yet. In summary, the problem has not only been acknowledged by the Toyota service station, but also seems to be part of a wider, systemic issue with this model's transmission. As such, a recall should be considered, and further investigation into this known issue is warranted to prevent further safety risks.

Driving down [XXX] in Ohio, electrical components in the car started flashing and the check engine light came on. "Charging malfunction" something or other and it also said "steering power low". Then the car completely shutoff and I had to coast to the shoulder. It was then towed and is at a local shop. It's a 2019 with 75,000 miles - this should not have happened. I saw the 2020 Camry 2.5 liter recall for a crack in the engine, it would not surprise me if that is also what happened to my car.
