There has been an open recall on my car for months and toyota has not came up with any type of remedy to fix this issue. 'the subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.' sounds pretty dangerous and this is the car I travel with my kids in, I am extremely disappointed in toyota brcause this was once listed as the safest car on the road.
2018 Toyota Camry engine complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car battery consistently dies even when vehicle has not been in operation for one full day. I have a dash cam that is in operation all the time and disconnected it thinking it was the problem. However the problem still persists. Today is the 10th time the car battery has died in 3 months.this time I had the key in the slot turned one notch (car engine not turned on) and was playing music via bluetooth, when screen flickered and everything went out. Dealership says there is no issue with battery and refuses to change it.
The check engine light is on. There seems to be an incomplete recall (fuel pump) for which toyota hasn't had a remedy prepared yet. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle with the engine light on, even though I haven't had any accident yet.
If you slow to a roll then try to accelerate, it jerks real bad like it does not know what gear to go into. Tapping from the engine bay that comes and goes. The brake assist feature cause my rotors to get warped right after replacing them. Lane keeping assist will yank you over into a turning lane if you aren't super careful.
The car shudders and appears to almost stall when in motion. This happens randomly. It happened from the very first year it was driven. Once it actually stalled at an intersection just as the traffic light turned green and I pulled forward. I had not braked. This car has never been in an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle sputtered then regained power. The contact pulled over as a precaution and waited and then restarted the vehicle and drove to his destination. The vehicle was taken to the dealer crystal toyota (220 us-22, green brook, nj 08812 (732) 968-1000). The dealer stated that they would look at the vehicle however, the contact waited for over 3 hours. The contact saw that the vehicle was not being serviced and retrieved the vehicle and left the dealer. The contact saw on the internet and suspected that there was a recall for the fuel pump however, he was unable to check the VIN. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 30,000.
There has been several misfires when starting the car, and the car sometimes goes into like an idle mode. The dashboard states 27 mpg, but I've been tracking mileage on a paper log, and the vehicle is really only receiving approximately 19 mpg. I looked to it to see what it could be, and after looking up active recalls, realized that it was symptoms of the fuel pump malfunctioning. I took it to scott clark toyota; a manufacturer's dealer, and they refuse to remedy the situation.
I don't feel safe driving my toyota camry 2018. The car feel very heavy when driving, tge steering wheel are stiff and difficult to move sometimes. The brakes are not stable like they should even after I paid for it to be fix. The gas gauge refuse to open when it's time to fuel gas the car makes noises. It's very frustrating and it's not worth what I pay for.
Tried starting vehicle in the morning, temp was about 70 degrees, car has the push to start button. Battery has been replaced with an aftermarket yellow top deep cycle battery about 2 months ago. When attempting to start, car acted as if the battery was very low it turned over, dash went black for about 3 seconds and car started very forcefully. Car had been parked under carport for about 16 hours. The day before car was in the same conditions and started right up no problems.
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 car will randomly stall after driving several hours on the freeway and sometimes will not start up. I am concerned that it will stall while driving on the freeway leading to a crash. My car is not involved under toyota's fuel pump recall but I have verified that my fuel pressure goes to near 0 psi when the condition happens (former toyota technician) and the symptoms are exactly the same as outlined in the recall. I have contacted two toyota technicians from my local dealer and said they would not be able to duplicate it due to having to drive so long and as a result they would not be able to provide a fix for me. I would be tempted to purchase a new fuel pump, however if toyota doesn't know about this issue on my car, the part will not be updated and will likely to have the same result.
When I first bought my car in august 2018 when I first drove it... The acceleration was on point. Now it seems like when I go to take off to accelerate it feels sluggish as if it's doing the way it originally did.
Check engine light came on and the performance of the vehicle is bad. Bad idle, weak engine, just the car is not performing properly. I used the scanner to see the code and I had more than one . P0171 p0505 p117b p0441 p0455 . Fuel/air mixture is lean . And I hear the fuel pump making that noise that indicates a bad fuel pump. It's when I put the key in I hear it loud enough and if I turn the key on it does it again. When I put it on p it revs and RPM goes up and then comes down, up again down again ... When stopped at a red light the car wants to move and RPM keeps shaking.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. The contact stated that while accelerating, the vehicle jerked and stalled with the RPM fluctuating. The cause of the failure was not determined. East coast toyota located at 181 broad st, carlstadt, nj 07072, (201)438-5659, was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.
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!
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.
When accelerating from dead stop in a right hand turn up-hill car is slow to move forward requiring more pressure on gas pedal, then transmission seems to be hunting for right gear causing a jerky motion.
My first problem happened I got my gas my car stopped and check engine lights on then all warning lights on my car . Second time happened right after I got my gas again my car stopped and I pumping my brakes paddle consistently then engine started again ... I went my dealer they charging higher amount of money I couldn't fix it... If I drive over 60 MPH my car shaking
My steering has become very stiff. Like it is hesitating when I make turns as if my power steering fluid is low but it is electrical. My car also stalls when I accelerate the gas. Mentioned it to dealer when first got the vehicle in 2018 and they said it was just because of the type of engine that was in it. Steering happens when taking off, slowing down, and making any kind of turn or lane change. Engine hesitates when I accelerate. Taking to the dealership to have issue checked out.
For got check off the last two questions at the end of questionnaire. I would not like my information shared and a so not receive emails about recall alerts
Vehicle was purchased in october 2017,within the first week the became noticeably louder. Initially we thought that the vehicle needed to be warned up. However the vehicle remains in high idle mode for long period of time as though the throttle is sticking. When vehicle is not in use, if restarted within 5-10 minutes the responds the same as before very high idling and sounds as though it has no oil getting to the engine(valvetrain). Car takes several moments to accelerate while the pedal is very stiff and the RPM's does not match the acceleration time. Feels like the brakes stick when you come to a complete stop. Driving on highway car tends to pickup on power itself while within the next few minutes losing power again. When exiting the highway to start city speed limits after taking off from a stop the RPM's increase however car doesn't move at desired speed(drags). Engine sounds like there is metal running through it as well as the sounds it makes while idling. Ticking.shaking,knocking all at once. I have a video of the engine noise and the way it shakes but your attachment only allows for 5mb and the video has more than 5mb. The car was taken to the dealership several times regarding this specific issue however the response was always we couldn't find anything and vehicle either needs a light on or needs to be currently showing the problem right then. They even compared it to other camry's to make sure they said but the car was still doing the same symptoms while we were there and as we left. The vehicle is sounding far worse than it was from november 2017- to this current day and doesn't seem to be driving any better and it's beginning to feel unsafe. Also the video I have will not attach to your formats. It's only allowing photos.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving at 10 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the RPM revved up with no forward momentum. The contact stated that there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to toyota of clermont located at 16851 fl-50, clermont, fl 34711. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 17,288.
My 2018 toyota camry skips constantly when driving. It does not happen at a certain speed, I may be just taking off or been at a constant speed for a while and it skips multiple times. I have reported this to the toyota service department when I take my car in for service, they said they would make a note of the concern. This is very frustrating to deal with on a car that has low miles and is only 2 years old.
I just bought my car and the transmission jerks and is really bad. Dealer said he's aware buy toyota isnt doing anything about it and it passes the software tests. I read online and there's hundreds of people complaining of the same issue. My car is a week old... I really hope you can investigate this and make.toyota fix their transmissions. The issue happens when first starting; when driving on the highway and really any time I press the gas.
I have a 2018 toyota camry and on my first week after buying it, I noticed that there's a major acceleration delay that I couldn't bear anymore. It's making a weird sound and is definitely something noticeable. Toyota seriously needs to take care of this as this may cause accidents especially on merging on the freeway. I tried to take it to 2 different toyota service centers and both just told me that my car was driving fine. I looked up some complaints for this car online and it seems like a lot of people are actually complaining about this same as with 2019 models. I hope toyota will fix this because it's making us consumers very frustrated.
The vehicle does a weird clocking noise when acceleration and as I break or go at a lower speed or higher speed the sound is less or more . This starts at a surten speed. Also when the car is on it does the noise like a clicking sounds ive read about the recalls on this models and im concern due to the same info the car are being called for recalls. Mines doing the same noise and problem never had this problem before when going on the freeway or highway now I notice it getting worse recall number -18v200000 also theres a light that indicates the front camara is of and it goes of and on on its own sometimes
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. While driving 80 MPH at night, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 50 MPH. The failure occurred twice and nearly caused a crash the second time. The contact believed the forward collision avoidance feature suddenly activated. The manufacturer took the black box information after the vehicle was taken to green's toyota of lexington (630 e new circle rd, lexington, ky 40505, (859) 254-5751). In addition, the brake rotors failed and the transmission suddenly downshifted while driving 35 MPH. The contact felt the manufacturer was not going to assist. The manufacturer was still researching the information obtained from the vehicle's black box. The vehicle was purchased brand new and had been to the dealer between 10 to 15 times. The failure mileage was 20,000.
When one starts the car by pushing the start bottom, the car will start to shake and soon a very load cracking and rattling noise will began coming from the engine. Engine light will come on while driving in the city and then turns off causing the driver to be aware of some issue. Once the concerning noise goes away the car continues to shake but eventually stops after a while. This could make the car to stall and causing a potential crash. The vehicle left blind side detector does not respond 100%, it only works about 60% of the time. This causes the driver to think he/she are clear to turn to the left lane in the city and highway and it can cause the driver to hit another car and potentially crashing. The screen panel glitches from time to time while driving in the highway causing the driver to not be able to see and locate radio stations or manipulate the panel.
