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 $6000.00 and rental has accrued over $1500.00 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.

Car completely stopped while I was driving on the highway. Multiple warning lights appeared and stated that they failed. Examples of error messages in the information system were LDA malfunction, secondary brake, collision malfunction and check engine light.
