While driving I slowed down due to a car being in front of me but when I pressed on the gas the car stalled and would not pick up speed or accelerate. My car has 24,000 miles and have noticed a hesitation when in traffic during stop and go traffic when I first purchased the car 6,000 miles but recently at 24,000 miles 1 instance of stalling

This complaint is for all cars. When driving in heavy rain it is important to turn on headlights in order for the taillights to illuminate. Almost no one does this anymore due to drl and automatic headlights. During a recent very heavy rainstorm it was almost impossible to see cars ahead of me, almost resulting in a collision. It should be mandatory that the taillights come on anytime the wipers are active. This is serious.

The transmission is very slow on computing the speed. If you're driving and slow down, the car still stays in the gear before you slowed down. It actually takes a while for it to adjust making this car a safety hazard. Making turns and accelerating a very dangerous in this vehicle and it needs to be addressed.

Car does not fully warm up to operating temperature when weather temperature outside is under 45 degrees. Temperature gauge will constantly move toward cold when I am idling or stopped at a stop light and I have to drive aggressively for the engine to get to operating temperature. Heat blows like warm to cold because of this.

Vehicle heater intermittently does not heat, thus does not clear windows in very cold weather while driving.

The new car has does not accelerate for sometime at stop and go and no matter how much U press the gas pedal, and when you press harder for a while a jerky quick gear change happens with unintended accelaration rates. This became particularly of concern on freeway/tollway when I tried changing lanes as the traffic started clearing, putting me at risk with fast moving traffic. The above experience of gear shift or accelaration issue is consistent behavior since I owned this car for past 2 weeks

The plastic part below my vent but above the navigation screen melted. I was driving from Florida to South Carolina. Before I left I know it wasnt there because I connected my phone to the car. Then I stopped in Georgia for a break. As I was driving my phone rung and I went to hit answer on my screen I noticed it. Im not sure if it happened as I was driving or when I stopped. So I contacted the Toyota place in Virginia where I purchased the vehicle and was told to take it to the nearest Toyota place. The next day I took it my car to florence Toyota in florence SC. They took pictures and sent them to corporate. The following week I contacted them to see what was said. I was told that it looks like air freshner got on it and caused it to melt and its not covered by my warranty. So I replied I do not keep air freshner in that vent I keep them in my side vents so thats not possible. Then I calle D Toyota corporate offic and I was told they can not cover it because its not and manufacture error and it would cause me $7000 to replace. I just purchased this car in April and its just September nothing should be melting in this car and if air freshners can cause this plastic to melt its not a good quality car!

The chrome surrounding the tachometer and speedometer, as well as the chrome surrounding the inside of the steering wheel and the chrome Toyota emblem on the steering wheel and the chrome surrounding the start button and the chrome around the shifter all cause substantial glare for the driver (and passenger) when the sun is out. This glare makes it difficult to see the speedometer, tachometer, and most of all the road and dash. There is no easy way to block this glare and still be able to operate the vehicle safely.

I purchased the car not even 4 months in and I started hearing a "knocking sound" in the engine. I took videos of it. I noticed the the knocking sound comes on when I drive it for a while. I took the car the dealership and showed them the video. The service tech drove it and said he didn't hear anything. They ran tests on it and they said nothing is wrong with the car. The service rep said he drove the car for 5 mins on the street. But I told him the sounds starts after I drive the car for a while and in the freeway. They sent me home and said nothing is wrong. I drove the car again on the freeway and the sound came back on. I also have felt what other Camry users are saying about the lack of acceleration when driving the car. It does take time to pick up speed and it can be dangerous when merging onto freeways and lanes. Need to get this fix or they need to make a recall on this model.

2019 Toyota Camry parked in the driveway of my house, sunroof shattered when car door closed. The pieces fell on the driveway but did not fall into the car as the sun shade was closed. There is now a hole in the sunroof large enough for your hand to pass through.

I was involved in a hit and run accident on 4/9/19 that resulted in $7,600 + property damage to my vehicle as well as injuries and no one answered the sos connect system after it was called post accident. My vehicle has been in the body shop since the accident and I just got it back this past Thursday 5/23/19. On 5/24/19 I tried to test the sos system at least 5 times and still received no response. The vehicle was in motion during all calls, proceeding straight on city roads. I have audio footage from my dash cam to support it did not work but they are too large to upload.
