2019 Toyota Camry

Front Right tire strut broke off from where it attaches to the body. Found when lifting car for oil change and looked corroded. If this broke on the highway it could be deadly. Car was towed to a repair shop where they replaced that and the front left strut which they say also showed corrosion. No other parties inspected this. No warning messages or symptoms were present before the failure.

vehicle started making a nasty whining noise. Talked to Toyota, they stated it was normal. ive kept up on the transmission service as noted, and performed all said services before they were due, vehicle just rolled over to 108k and the whining noise got louder, and now the transmission is bad, called a friend at a different Toyota dealer and he stated that they have a lot of camrys with bad transmissions, and that toyota knows about it but wont acknowledge the issues.

While driving, the vehicle experiences unintended braking and refusal to accelerate. ABS, traction control, pre-collision system, and secondary collision brake warnings illuminate. Toyota dealer diagnostics documented ABS and brake system fault codes C1201 and C1A50. The vehicle also produces a loud whining/buzzing noise from the brake actuator area while stationary. Dealers have recommended transmission replacement despite active ABS/PCS fault codes and safety system involvement. The condition temporarily resets after battery disconnect but returns. This presents a safety risk due to unintended braking and loss of vehicle control. When this happened I was in the street with my daughter in the back we could have got injured.

1. ABS TRACTION control on, PCS system activated, Secondary brake collision activated and will be available upon inspection. 2. happened mid street with cars in traffic and my daughter in the back seat 3. They are stating transmission but do not want to check ABS system faults. Car was new off the lot unsure why this problem got triggered. I went to Toyota Alhambra and Longo Toyota they do not want to address C codes this is a safety defect that needs to be brought up 4. Will be filing with corporate but wanted to address this issue as this is not the only Toyota with this issue. 5.UKNOWN from my acknowledgement there were no warnings before this happened. Toyota is assuming it is transmission refuses to check ABS system and address C codes

Current Mileage is Approximately 82,000. Vehicles Transmission slips, harsh shifting, and sudden jerking when cold (but after Cold Start Protocol) Accelerator also has this issue, where the car will struggle to accelerate, jerking instead until foot is let off the accelerator and then reapplied. All services have been done at the dealer and on time. Original Transmission fluid changes reported metal shavings, and Transmission fluid was changed early. Vehicle is not subject to harsh/rough driving habits. Seems to be signs of premature Transmission Failure.

Issue: loud whining coming from transmission during acceleration, rough shifting, transmissions slips. Rough shifting noticed shortly after 25k warranty. More details: I had purchase my vehicle new at Dublin Toyota and have serviced my vehicle regularly recommended by Toyota dealer. Took into dealer for 90k service which included transmission fluid change. After the service I noticed that the bill didn’t include transmission fluid on the materials list. I called the service advisor and asked if it had been changed. The service advisor said he couldn’t prove it as it was not listed so he asked that I bring it back in and he will make sure it is changed. I brought the car back in.. The service team never mentioned any concerns with transmission. Whining started a couple weeks after. I took my car to transmission shop, who inspected a found black burnt transmission fluid with metal pieces. I informed them that I brought my car in for service which was supposed to include a transmission fluid change. They said it didn’t look like it was changed, and if it was, the the service tech would have noticed the black fluid and should have advised of transmission concerns. I was advised that the transmission is damaged beyond being rebuild and needs to be replaced. This failure is a known and acknowledged issue with Toyota UA80F/E transmissions.

My 2019 Toyota Camry has 75,000 miles and is experiencing a premature and progressive transmission failure that creates serious safety risks. Symptoms include hesitation and loss of power during acceleration, harsh and delayed shifting, RPMs increasing without vehicle movement, failure to properly engage gears (including reverse), and loud whining/grinding noises. These issues make the vehicle unsafe to drive, especially when merging, crossing intersections, or accelerating from a stop. Toyota and the dealership have confirmed the transmission is failing, yet Toyota has stated that no new or used replacement transmission is available and no repair timeline exists. The vehicle was returned to me despite being unsafe. Toyota has provided no transportation assistance, no repair ETA, and no remedy, leaving me with an undrivable vehicle and ongoing financial obligations. I am aware of numerous similar consumer complaints and ongoing litigation involving Toyota’s 8-speed automatic transmissions exhibiting the same symptoms. This appears to be a systemic defect that poses a safety risk to drivers and the public. I am requesting NHTSA review and investigation.

I am reporting a safety-related transmission failure in my 2019 Toyota. The vehicle suddenly lost the ability to drive forward without any warning. There were no check engine lights, warning lights, or alerts before or during the failure. The vehicle would only go in reverse and became completely undrivable. At the time of the failure, my children and my elderly mother were in the vehicle, creating a serious safety risk. Had this occurred in traffic or at an intersection, it could have resulted in an accident. After the failure, I contacted over 30 transmission shops and mechanics, and none are willing to rebuild or repair the transmission due to known and recurring issues with this Toyota transmission model. I contacted Toyota directly and was provided a repair estimate of approximately $8,000, which is unreasonable for a 2019 vehicle and makes repair financially impossible. The vehicle was towed and remains undrivable. I am currently paying $30 per day for a rental vehicle, causing financial hardship. I am submitting this complaint so this issue is documented as a potential safety defect
