Vehicle stall while on the 75 freeeway when I was going 70 MPH. No break lights apparear while the vehicle was stopping causing me to almost crash with other vehicles on the freeway. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me. I have reported the issue several times to toyota customer service and the dealership in cobb county georgia but nothing is been done. I think it either the pistol or the fuel pump. Toyota case # 2009280896 & toyota case #2 -2009281300.
2018 Toyota Camry fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
When I start my car by pressing the start button, the car can't start and said ignition is not ready and many error codes show up on the screen, sometimes it takes 8 to 10 times before car can start and today it can't start at all, I went to check for the car cattery and it is fine, and we changed our key fob battery, but the problem still persists, some website said it is fuel pump issue, and I see some 2018 toyota camry is on fuel pump recalll but when I input my VIN, it said it is not under recall, so I am very worried that one day I will get stranded somewhere without notice and don't know what caused the issue, please help. This happens when vehicle is stationary before I start.
I purchased this vehicle 1 month ago. It has stalled on the freeway twice. I am at 10k miles. The dealer is replacing the "bad" fuel pump with another identical pump! Those cars considered part of the known recall get a different pump. So I am to drive this vehicle at my own risk.
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.

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.

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.
It feels like the transmission is slipping while I am driving. It has done this since I first bought the car. I told the toyota dealership while in for service and the service rep told me that the problem is my fuel pump but they will not fix it until my car is actually "recalled" by the manufacturer. I am scared to drive it long distances or highway speeds. It happens every single day and every single time I drive the car.

The fuel filler tube is sometimes blocked causing fuel to spill out of the fuel door. Can not fill fuel tank when this happens. Fuel in all over the car and ground
Fuel keep coming back up from the intake (cap) every-time it's full and happen on hot weather days while in parking lot. It's happened a month after I bought the car (brand new), the dealer tried to replace charcoal canister, but now after a year the problem come back again and been happening for months now, bring to the dealer now (different than the one before), they can't figure out and blame me for overfill. They didn't want to do any repair or further investigation because they don't want to admit that they didn't totally fix the problem, it's easier for them to blame it on the consumers. Problem still there, now I'm worry it can cause an explosion anytime. And this is my only car to commute for now. I have reported this problem to the customer service but they seem not to care at all stating that the dealer did not find anything wrong. Both the dealer & manufacture denied the responsibility even though it's still under warranty. I'm tired and stressful with their irresponsible answers.
Gas comes out of the fuel fill up pipe in warm weather after car has been filled with gas. Car is not over filled. Splashed up to 3 cups of gas onto side of car. Change is gas cap did not solve problem. Charcoal filter replaced but did not fix. Happens when car is parked after being driven.
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.
When I turn on the key, before ignition and the car is off for several hours, I hear a humming sound coming from the trunk area. I strongly believe it is coming out from the gas pump. I have expressed my concern to my toyota dealer during my last two services. No feedback has been given to me.
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
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.
Often during acceleration, my car seems to sputter or misfire. When taking off there seems to be, as the only way I can describe it, an air bubble in the fuel line. Kinda like fuel isn't constantly being fed to the engine. There are gaps. While driving at a constant speed, this does not happen. Also, sometimes when accelerating from a stopped position, my car accelerates slowly and then all of a sudden, takes off as if its playing catch up. Although there isn't an active recall on my car, I think there is a problem with the fuel pump.
When I first start the car in the mornings,let run for a few minutes,and drive off about half a block,stop at intersection and proceed,the car will hesitate,die down if it floods out and then it will pick up,during this hesitation,I could in the intersection and with traffic coming,I do not know if the car will stop or go. I took it to the dealer and as most say,well we could not duplicate the problem,it only seems that the car only does this,after a five minute warm up and drive about a block.this problem so far has only happen 3 or 4 times since I have owned the car also,2018,bought in 2018-feb and I only have 5600 miles on the car. This has happen about 4 times,not all the time,but it makes me wonder
Fuel and air going into the fuel injection system are not in balance. Check engine light comes on.
I have been getting my gas at the same place for a long time. It starts missing and cutting out. I took it in they said try different gas I have still doing same thing it has been doing it since 30000 miles.
Had fog and moisture showing behind raido display
Vehicle hesitate when accelerating and the engine shakes real bad, it feels like a mount is really loose. Vehicle also hesitate to pick up speed after slowing down.
When driving the vehicle, the transmission does not appear to know what gear to be in and is always searching. So much so that it will lunge at times when all you are trying to do is accelerate. When slowing down and then slowly applying gas again, nothing happens for a good 10 seconds and then it surges and causes my head to slam into the back of the head rest. Also while idling the vehicle is decently loud, more so when defroster is engaged. At freeway speeds it tends to do better, but most issues appear to be in city day to day driving from the transmission/ or fuel system.
Today aug 31 2019, I test drove the above vehicle. 2 things I noticed during driving. 1). At start up there was a very audible ticking sound at the front end of the engine. It was much more audible when the hood was raised, and it stopped after approximately 30 seconds with only a familiar ticking sound of the 4 cylnder engine once it stopped 2). Most important - during acceleration from a stop, the vehicle seemed to bogg down, and feel like the fuel was not feeding properly, or the transmission was slipping. Once the vehicle reached 15 MPH or so, it seemed to drive normal. I did not have a chance to drive on the freeway, only city streets. The acceleration should be of major concern.
The response time of accelerating and the car moving is significant at irregular intervals. This is hazardous when I am planning to overtake because it takes longer than expected.
2018 camry se, slow to take off when stepping on gas after a stop or slow down mostly noticeable on city streets. Very hesitant & gas must be pumped in order for transmission to catch up. Almost involved in accident when coming off exit ramp & onto highway. Car wouldn't accelerate & other drivers were at speed limit behind me. Gears shift almost like a manual transmission. Gas pedal can be difficult to push at times as well.
Lag and hesitation when going to full throttle on the gas pedal. It hesitates for a second and then finally grabs on to accelerate. It has done this since I purchased it but was hoping it would work itself out eventually, but this hasn't happened. Toyota did a tsb software update for the 4 cylinder but not the v6.
