I had a feeling sick while driving my car. I placed a smoke and carbon monoxide detector in the cabin. The detector went off. I tried different things windows up windows down, recuperate open and close and detector alarmed. I brought my car to Doggett Toyota they found a leak in engine that was running to exhaust. I paid for $117 for estimate and $337 for part. The service department is pressing me to let them use my carbon monoxide detector. I refuse. When I went pick up the car fumes plus soap smell is still in the car. Detector still alarm 229ppm.They only offer to rent a ccar which I cannot drive because of health reasons. Other 2020 are carmys are recalled because oil leak and possibly damage to engine block. I requested my car be examined for the same problems as recall. The service department says I need ask corporate to send there own mechanic and I pay for it. Hours of run around miscommunication. That car is not safe to drive. Dealership doesn't have carbon monoxide detector or means to detect the smoke in the cabin. Service members all over the place, texting on cell phone, walking away while on phone with corporate etc.

2020 Camry has 34000 miles and the engine maintenance required comes on. The dealer says it is the coolant bypass valve. They will replace it but after looking online there are many reports of this happening to toyotas with low mileage. Coolant can corrode the electric components.

- Haymarket, VA, USA

Engine: Fault Code P268115 - Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Control Circuit/Open: Circuit Short To Battery or Open. This is a huge ongoing problem with Toyota vehicles. You can do a simple search and find 100s of people with the same issue. This must be addressed and a recall issued for repair.

- Cookeville, TN, USA

Incident: Just driving along when all of a sudden, the car engine turned off and check engine light came on along with warnings about brake system failures, fuels system failures and message to contact your dealer. Any attempts to restart the car failed. The vehicle was a 2020 toyota camry xse with 75000 miles. The vehicle was inoperable. CAUSE: There is a small air intake resonator box that connects to the air flow between the air filter compartment and the throttle. This resonator is made of plastic and the part that connects to the airflow main tube, had cracked and broken off and the broken piece got stuck in the throttle causing the vehicle to become disabled. This part is never touched when performing air filter maintenance and it was determined that over time, it just cracked and eventually broke off. This is a defect in the design and if this had happened at highway speeds could have had serious consequences.

Coolant bypass valve My check engine light turns on when the AC is activated. I took it to my dealership on 5/22/2023 and was informed there-??s a back order on the coolant bypass valve because it is a national issue. My car has been determined as unsafe to drive until the part can be replaced in 2-3 weeks.

Did not happen to this vehicle, but others the same year. I am a tech who has seen multiple failures of the crankshaft position plate which is mounted between the flywheel and crankshaft brake causing engine to shut down while driving due to crank position sensor not receiving signal. I am concerned because my wife drives one which is the vin I gave, that her car may cut off in traffic causing a accident. This part is defective with holes cut around it where the new replacement part is solid.This should be replaced at no cost to customers when vehicle warranty coverage has run out. Information below is for a vehicle that I worked on and have seen 3 others. One resulting in engine & transmission replacement due to excessive damage from plate coming apart. I work for Toyota & don't want my identity shared with them.

Acceleration felt weird when is performed from full stop or moderate speed to a -??chase-?? speed (high revolutions), it doesn-??t respond according to the action taken to the gas pedal. Also the crash sensor went off from time to time.

Fuel pump failure 1st. Car immediately stopped while driving on main road almost causing collision, engine light appeared only. Car had been inspected by local repair codes identify fuel pump malfunction. Fuel pump was replaced. Car was driven less than 5 minutes and overheated. Overheating light on dashboard, exclamation light and engine light appeared. reason is still yet unknown.

Car is regularly maintained, vehicle had to be what was a software or fuel supply issue. In hotter weather car stutters and engine will completely shut off while driving. It will begin to throw errors for second brake system malfunction, check engine, lane departure assist. Codes from obd2 read p12d5 and p107d. Seems like fuel stops is being cut off or extreme software issue. Regardless it has left my pregnant wife and 3 yr old son stranded in the middle of the road in 100 degree plus weather or then runs extremely rough. Have gone to a mechanic twice each time engine codes had shut off and there was nothing to be done at the moment. Issue still persists, it is still a danger and often it is difficult to have enough momentum to pull over somewhere safe. This issue may also cause further engine problems

I have owned 5 Toyotas and a Lexus SUV and never had so many problems. This is a 2020 Camry Hybrid with only 20492 miles on it. It has had to be jump-started 3-4 times so far, but now it has a new issue: While on a road trip with my wife thru Utah, the car suddenly shuts down, bells ringing and messages appearing. Cruise control, Lane departure, and Headlight System Failure. This happened on a 2-lane highway with very minimal shoulder. I pulled over as far as I could, but still slightly in the lane. Turned off the ignition and after a minute or so, was able to restart the car. Noted that the sign on the road said "Next Services 129 Miles"! This was on July 11, 2022 at about 3 PM. Once car was restarted, we drove to our destination without further issues, however I would not use Cruise control for fear it would happen again. Got back to California the next day and took it to dealer to investigate the cause. Their conclusion: "Extreme heat caused the warning lights to come on, but history code indicates that the issue resolved itself. The vehicle is operating normally at this time but the system will be affected by high temperatures and direct sunlight"!!! The temperature on the road at the time was 95 degrees. Dealer contacted Toyota's technical assistance hot line to document concern Case #221930394. Per the service department, they called the field rep who said if everything was functioning at this time, then there was no action to be taken. First of all, I am 75 years old and do not expect this from a car with only 20492 miles on it, and especially not from a Toyota. I find the "solution" to be completely foolish - avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight!! Temperatures over 95 degrees and direct sunlight are common in many states. Can someone please get to the bottom of this? I am beginning to think that I bought a lemon. I am also reporting it to NHTSA, as it is a safety issue that must be dealt with. Thank you,

Smells like engine coolant when exiting vehicle

- Dillwyn, VA, USA

Dead battery at 21000 miles. Car is less than 2 years old and didn't drive it for 36 hours and the battery completely drained. Even after jump start electronic dash wouldn't function properly.

- Holts Summit, MO, USA

When I press the button to start my 2020 Camry it has difficulty starting. It chugs/lags. It also smells of coolant/antifreeze when this happens. It has done this since the day I leased it. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership 3 times and each time I-??m told that they hooked it up to their computer and can-??t find anything wrong and they can-??t replicate the problem. I have had several witnesses/passengers inside and outside my vehicle who have heard the starting issue and commented on coolant smell. To date, my vehicle only has 7000 miles on it.

First time went to get in my vehicle and the car would not even open, not even the trunk. Had been parked over night. The car was deader than a door nail. The Toyota dealer had a tow truck dispatched to me with a charge box. The charge box would not even crank the vehicle. Had to use his tow truck to jump the car took to Toyota they said it needed a software update. Did it seemed fine now fast forward several months later now when it cranks doesn-??t want to crank, dies then have to try again finally it crank. Took in today at dealer they tested battery said it-??s showing 100% testing so not the battery then they say the update didn-??t take back months ago so needs to be updated again ?. So now I-??ve been shuttled home as it will take 2 plus hours. I-??ve googled and seen so many complaints that are identical to mine and wondering why my vehicle has no recall when my vehicle has same issues apparently or I-??m being lied to by the dealer cause I-??ve got a complete lemon. I-??ve owned many Toyota-??s and never once had issues like this.

Coolant smell coming from engine.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

After 2 days parked in garage with lights off and doors closed the car wouldn't start. After jump staring the car in the screen in the dashboard a video was playing stating that an electronic board is affecting the engine and transmission. The car has just 15,500 miles. In March 2020 the same happen. Dealer said was fixed. I talked to Toyota (jeffrey) company and he said there is no recall or software upgrade.

- Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

Twice recently 2020 Toyota Camry with less than 8,000 miles on it would not start after being parked in a garage. In both cases, we charged the battery and car started right away. No doors were left open, no lights on, etc. What is causing the battery to drain after a day or two not being driven? my older Toyota with 150,000 is more reliable, sadly. Have read about a battery drain issue with this car, but Toyota customer service says my VIN number is not part of the recall. Seems like I am not the only one with this problem. Taking to dealership this week to see if problem can be identified.

- Onancock, VA, USA

I leased this vehicle in July 2020 for 24 months, the battery is not dependable; frequently, at random times, the car won't start.. I have had to call for assistance 6 times. Toyota explained that the battery has a defect called parasitic drain because of overload from 40 computers and only solution is to drive at least 1/2 hour twice a week. I am 88 years old with macula degeneration and consider this an unsafe requirement. Toyota suggested buying a new battery but if, as stated by the mechanic, the battery is getting continuously drained by overload, that makes no sense, I asked if they could block off some of the drainage (like bluetooth) they said not this model.I complained that I wasn't informed of this defect before buying and they explained it was in the manuel which I didn't receive until I signed the agreement.
