Car shaking on speed between 40-55 MPH this issue appeared probably 3 years ago mean 2016 toyota dealer recommended to change transmission car wasn't hit 100.000 miles when I checked that not normal asking for any recall about transmission they said no please take it seriously I have 2 kids not too crazy with driving
The engine burns oil excessively over 5 qts per oil change every 5000 miles. I'm afraid this engine may fail on the highway and create unsafe situation during regular commutes . I also believe this problem is getting progressively worse, this oil burning started 4 years ago at a smaller rate 1 -2 qt per oil change now it has doubled. There has been a toyota extended warranty issued from toyota for this exact problem for 2009 camrys,but toyota refuses to give this warranty to 2010 camry owners.they say any engine damages is the customers responsibility. Toyota needs to issue another recall or warranty extension for this 2010 year and any others experiencing the same issue.
75,000 miles on my 2010 toyota camry: for the past few years on cold mornings, the car will reverse and proceed 100 yards to the stop sign. Then when I step on gas, car revs up but doesn't move. Dealer said new transmission needed. Quoted me 7,000$. Another shop said it was the trans computer and or solenoid. They replaced. Was fine for a few months... Now does the same. Huge safety issue. Services regularly.

Transmission is aggressive. Reluctant to change gears resulting in a decelerating affect (downhill, uphill, coasting and in traffic). Danger to personal safety and other drivers as brake lights are not applied to notify others of vehicle slowing down. At a standstill, transmission is slow to accelerate and merge onto highway. Driving similar to steering a car with a brake caliper stuck.
We have owned this car since new and followed the maintenance schedule religiously. The car is at 76,000 miles and yesterday I discovered that the car had burned through 2.5 quarts of oil less than 3000 miles from the last oil change. Additionally the slave cylinder is leaking after the transmission was replaced at 23000 miles. Prior to the last 3000 miles, the car had never burned through oil between oil changes. Upon researching the issue I found that the previous generation of this engine had piston issues that toyota eventually started fixing for free (after multiple class action suits). I took it in to my dealership and they recommended an entire engine overhaul to fix the pistons ($5000) of which they cover nothing. In addition they confirmed the slave cylinder was leaking and that the transmission would need to be overhauled a 2nd time ($2,600). Unfortunately I purchased this car in manual, and toyota barely sold any of these transmissions which has resulted in no acknowledgement of any manufacturer defects. While I understand the transmission is poorly designed but considered a wear item, I can not understand how the pistons on a car with regular maintenance would give out at 76,000 miles.
Our toyota camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a tsb bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? This is ridiculous. I will never buy another toyota ever now.
