2018 Toyota Camry

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL REPORTED TO THE DEALER DURING REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS. 1. STARTED THE DAY I DROVE IT NEW OFF THE LOT - CLOCK RADIO WAS GAINING 1 MINUTE EVERY WEEK, DEALER FLASHED SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES ON MULTIPLE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS BEST IT HAS GOTTEN DOWN TO IS GAINING 1 MINUTE A MONTH. 2. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I WOULD PARK THE CAR FOR THE EVENING 1-2 HOURS LATER SOMEONE WOULD WALK PAST THE CAR NOTICE A HUMMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR, I'D GO CHECK SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING, INSERT KEY TURN ON IGNITION (NOT START CAR) TURN KEY OFF NOISE WAS GONE. REPORTED TO DEALER NOTHING FOUND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. 3. STARTED AROUND 25K MILES - CAR IS VERY SLUGGISH, AND JERKY ON SLOW GRADUAL ACCELERATION FEELS LIKE A BAD PLUG OR FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEM, CAN BE DRIVING DOWN FLAT STRAIGHT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CAR WILL HICCUP SPIT AND SPUTTER FOR A SECOND OR TWO THEN RESUMES SPEED. REPORTED TO DEALER DURING ROUTINE SERVICE COMPUTER DIDN'T THROW A CODE SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE OBSERVED 0.1 MPG DECREASE IN FUEL MILEAGE. 4. 28K-30K MILES STARTED CAR FOR WORK IDLED AND SHOOK HORRIBLY FOR 20-30 SECONDS JUST AS I REACHED FOR THE KEY TO SHUT IT OFF AND DRIVE MY SPARE CAR IT SMOOTHED OUT AND RAN FINE. FELT LIKE A DEAD CYLINDER SUSPECT A BAD PLUG OR COIL PACK ONCE AGAIN REPORTED TO THE DEALER NOTHING FOUND. 5. CAR NOW AT 38K MILES FUEL MILEAGE HAS GRADUALLY DECREASED FROM MAX OF 37 MPG WHEN NEW NOW DOWN TO 35.8 MPG WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN DRIVING HABITS OR ROUTE. SINCE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I WILL CHANGE SPARK PLUGS MYSELF TO SEE IF THE SLUGGISHNESS SUBSIDES AND MILEAGE RETURNS TO WHAT I CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE RPM REVVED UP HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF ROCKWALL LOCATED AT 1250 E INTERSTATE 30, ROCKWALL, TX 75087, (469) 331-8372, HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BY MAIL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,900.

MY WIFE'S 2018 CAMRY ROLLED AWAY DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY WHILE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK. IT'S GOT 33K MILES ON IT. ON THE WAY DOWN THE HILL, IT CLEARLY ENGAGED THE PARKING PIN BECAUSE IT DRUG THE FRONT WHEELS 10 OR SO FEET BEFORE HITTING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE. THE CAR WAS RUNNING, I HOPPED OUT AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND ALL FOUR DOORS UNLOCKED. I PUT A PACKAGE IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, WENT TO OPEN THE TRUNK, MY WIFE (WHO WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT) HIT THE REMOTE ON THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS AND NEARLY HIT ME. ALL FOUR DOORS RELOCKED, THE PAWL CLICKED UNTIL IT ENGAGED AS IT ROLLED AWAY. IT JUMPED THE STREET, AND PARK ENGAGED AND IT SLID THE LAST 15 OR SO FEET. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING UNTIL MY WIFE REMOVED THE KEY. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME.

HESITATION AND MAJOR JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW MPH FROM A ROLLING STOP. TSB #T-SB-0152-19_REV SHOULD BE APPLIED TO PRACTICALLY EVERY CAMRY FROM 2018 & 2019. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT HAVE THIS DONE TO MY CAR BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS BULLETIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WOULDN'T BE BUT IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY CAR EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT'S GETTING EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND IT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ARE GOING TO FAIL SOON AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 34000 MILES ON IT. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. PLEASE APPLY THIS BULLETIN TO MORE CAMRY VINS! *TR

TODAY I NOTICED DURING MY CAR PARKED AT START UP THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND TOWARDS THE FRONT END OF THE ENGINE. AFTER MAYBE ABOUT A MIN OR TWO IT QUIETED DOWN A LIL BUT IT IS STILL NOTICEABLE WHEN YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF CAR. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AS TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ON ACCELERATION DELAY FROM A STOP.

I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 LE NEARLY 2 YEARS AGO. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR WORK ALTHOUGH SINCE MY SON GAVE ME HIS CAR I STARTED USING HIS AND LEFT MINE TO USE FOR THE GYM. AS NOW I AM USING MY 2018 CAMRY NOW MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I APPLY ACCELERATION HARD FROM STOP THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE CAR PICKS UP SPEED. ALSO WHEN I AM IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE I BELIEVE THE CAMRY IS DECIDING BETWEEN GEARS AND JERKS WHEN IT SELECTS THE GEAR IT WANTS.
