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.

2019 Toyota Camry fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 86, newest first, as owners wrote them.
You absolutely can not pull out in traffic because the car has a horrible lag, it’s as if it stalls at initial acceleration. Whether it’s pulling out of a side street, setting off from a stop light, or occasionally while already moving and speeding up. When stepping on the vehicle’s accelerator pedal, there was a lag of around five seconds or so before the vehicle started to accelerate at all. Yes it’s available for inspection upon request. The safety issue is the car can kill you at any moment but you never know when! The dealer has “fixed” the issue once already with a recall. The vehicle has not been inspected again because you never know when it will happen and they think they already fixed the issue! Initially I got warning lights before the recall and had the vehicle towed 3 times in the first month of owning it for its problem. Now it just does the same stuff without warning lights and hasn’t broken down yet.
My 2019 has an acceleration delay issue. I have taken it in to get it checked, and Toyota says that it checks out according to their standards. However, the issue has never gone away, and I have had to learn how to drive and accommodate this severe and dangerous safety issue. When I press the acceleration pedal, there is a delay when I'm at a complete stop or in the low gears. I try to make sure that I do not get into a situation where I may need to accelerate quickly to avoid an accident, and I pray that I never find myself needing to accelerate quickly. Unfortunately, it's been an ongoing issue, and Toyota does not recognize it nor offer to fix it.
Vehicle lags then jerks upon acceleration
The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a standing position, the vehicle failed to immediately respond. Additionally, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the fuel lines were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 100.
Had fuel pumped replaced in Aug 2020 on my 2019 Toyota Camry XSE out of precaution due to a recall. Fast forward to today Aug. 2022, I have had issues the last week & a half. Iv Taken my car into Toyota dealership 3 times and they still can’t figure out the problem. When starting my car, it stalls, sputters, vibrates, and or dies after a few seconds, as well as every warning light going off, and very low mpg when it is drivable. At one point I was getting 7mpg and car wouldn’t go above 15mph. I told Toyota I believed it was due to a bad fuel pump, they told me it was replaced 2 yrs ago, therefore that can’t be the issue. I mention that maybe they replaced my fuel pump w/an original fuel pump rather than the newer fuel pump that was suppose to correct the problem. The mechanics response was “it’s possible”. Still w/o a car to drive while toyota tries to figure out the problem. A couple days prior they said it was fixed, picked up my car and as soon as I pulled out onto the main road, my car started to vibrate and sputter again. Hoping this time they will at least check to see if it is indeed the fuel pump.
I brought my car in for the safety recall, and have been experiencing a failed fuel gauge recently. Whenever I fill my gas tank, the gas gauge has trouble going down when I drive. Because of this, I have to keep track of how many miles I drive so that I don't risk driving on an empty tank. I also have been experiencing vehicle stalls when I drive. I brought my car to a local Toyota shop to run a diagnosis and it has been reported that I have a failed "recalibration" and need to replace the fuel gauge. My vehicle does not show any warning lights/signs.
In JuneOf 2019 I got side swiped on the driver’s side beginning at the driver’s door while driving; the airbags did not deploy. The matter was taken care of by mutual agreement between attorney and other drivers insurance company (AAA). On 03/02/22 I was attempting to renew registration when I was informed that I had to take vehicle to dealer due to a recall on make and model before new registration could be issued. In the evening of 03/02/22 I stopped at the dealer and explained to one of the service reps that I was there because of a recall and he stated that there was a problem with airbags deploying WHILE driving; but it was too late in the evening because they were getting ready to close and the issue would take 2-3 hours to inspect. The following morning prior to the service department opening I dropped the car off for service. However, the service invoice makes no mention of the airbag system inspection. Instead, the invoice is for a low pressure fuel pump issue. As for my safety being affected, I now understand why the attorney handling the insurance claim as well as AAA’s insurance adjuster on the matter both stated “that’s odd” when they asked me (at separate times) if the airbags had deployed and I answered “no”. Apparently, according to the service techs comment on the recall having to do with airbags, my safety was in danger at the time of the accident in 2019. But instead of showing that the issue was taken care of on the invoice, in less than 24 hours the problem went from airbags to a low pressure fuel pump. How was my safety put at risk? Being that the impact occurred at the driver’s door while I was driving and airbags failed to deploy, had I not veered to my right up the curb I could’ve suffered serious injury to the left side of my body, at least. Has the problem been reproduced? Unknown. Has the vehicle component been inspected? From techs statement on 03/02/22 and invoice on 03/03/22, UNKNOWN. No warnings of any kind.

Vehicle stalled in traffic at an intersection. Several warning lights displayed at the same time and was unable to steer or safely pull to the side of the road. Car would not start until key was removed and restarted. Was very fortunate that traffic was minimal and an accident was avoided. I'm certain this is secondary to the fuel pump recall that apparently, for some reason does not have a fix.

On multiple occasions, and recently more frequently, when pulling out into traffic the vehicle stalls completely. There have also been numerous occasions when I try to accelerate that my vehicle stalls in traffic at stop signs or lights. There have been several close calls with accidents because of this.
We had our fuel pump replaced in March 2021 by recall on our 2019 Camry. Four months later, at 70 mph on the interstate, the engine cut out several times with the engine jerking on and off. Also, we had multiple malfunctions and warning lights on dash which included but were not limited to LDA Malfunction, Pre-collision system malfunction, secondary brake system malfunction, check engine light on and reduced cruise control malfunction. We were lucky and managed to get off the road without getting hit from behind. We got off the interstate and managed to get home in "limp mode" with the engine cutting out another 4-5 times. On July 16, 2021, the dealer installed a second fuel pump after they reproduced the problem and verified the pump installed in March, 2021 was the problem. The mechanic said the defective fuel pump would be returned to Toyota for them to cut open and examine. There were no messages or symptoms prior to this failure with multiple warning lamps and malfunction messages appearing as the fuel pump failed. Spouse now will not drive the car and I do not trust it.
I received a recall remedy notice from Toyota (recall no. 20V‑682) which says the subject vehicles are equipped witha low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating, which increases the risk of crash when a vehicle stall occurs while driving. I contacted local dealership but I was told that the parts are currently not in stock and needs to be ordered. After I followed up several times, the parts are still not available. My vehicle registration will be expired at the end of July 2021. Without the recall issue being addressed, I would not be able to pass the inspection and then not able to get sticker renewed. The vehicle has not been recently inspected and there were no warnings or noticeable symptom. In short, the dealer is unable to address the issue in a timely manner which makes my renewal of registration impossible.
my vehicle was part of the fuel pump recall for 2019 Camry, after taking it to my local dealer the fuel pump was replaced in January 2021. After driving the vehicle a week or so I noticed the exact same issues were happening again. Stalling at red lights, sluggish to take off and random jerking of the vehicle as if it were running out of gas. Took the vehicle back, dealership test drove it and told me this was characteristic of a Camry. I have owned two other Camrys in the past and have NEVER had an issue like this. PLEASE HELP.
The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate upon the depression of the accelerator without warning. The contact then discovered that her vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 20V682000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact then took the vehicle to the dealer and the recall repair was performed. Soon after the repair, the failure recurred. The contact called the same dealer and made an appointment for the vehicle to be serviced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car suddenly accelerated after putting the car in park mode. The acceleration stopped after I pumped the brakes. Now there is a warning light on the car.
Our 2019 camry was taken in for service under the fuel pump recall and after picking the vehicle up after repair we drove the vehicle for 45 minutes and had a pounding headache, nausea and close to vomiting from fuel vapors inside the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and they stated it was ok. The next morning we woke up to our garage smelling dumped out gasoline and the inside of the camry was overwhelmed with gasoline odor and vapors. We called the local fire department who had two fire department crew examine the vehicle and they agreed it smelled like gasoline inside the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and they had a factory rep look at the fuel pump who stated as reported to us there was not a proper seal. We picked up the vehicle on 4/17/21 and on 4/20/21 as the shampoo smell was going away from where they shampooed the back seat the gasoline smell is now there again. The only way to properly fix this instead of guessing where the fuel leak is would be to use a gas detector that measures in parts per million and locate the leak and also likely replace the carpet at a minimum. We need your help in resolving the serious safety issue.

For the first time, I'm starting to feel the issues of the recall. My car will not accelerate regardless of how hard I press the gas. It tends to idle high when in park or at red lights. This is dangerous, and I'm annoyed that there has not been a remedy for a known issue.
I purchased my 2019 camry in nov 2019. It has a tendency to be sluggish and I thought it was due to it being a 4 cylinder until I received the recall. Now, I am concerned about taking trips anywhere for fear of it stalling out.
Before finding out about the fuel/stall recall I had a couple of issues which I did report to the panama city, fl toyota dealership where I purchased my 2019 toyota camery. Each time they checked it out I was informed that they could not see or find anything in the cars system (I'm guessing the cars computer/diagnostic system I don't know). I know this the car shutters/vibrates/sputters whatever or however you'd like to explain it, like it has bad gas in it. I run only good gas no low grades. Then I found out about this recall and have called the pc toyota dealership servicing department 5 or 6 times that I know of and keep getting put off that their hq office hasn't approved the repairs to date. So I now am scared to drive it!!!!!! I have always been treated and been taken well care of by the pc dealership but at this point I am so disappointed/angry/unsatisfied with this car/pc dealership and toyota in general. My life and other consumers that trust/trusted in this product/vehicle are now in danger of driving a car that could stall and crash and that could cause injury and possibly even death because of this recall issue. And we keep getting put off with them saying keep driving the car and contact us if it gets worse. They make you feel like you're being dishonest when calling into their service department telling them what's going on with their malfunctioning product. Or even when you take it in and their tech's tell you they couldn't or can't find anything you said. My car is getting worse each time I drive it. And the truth is we all take our lives into our own hands when we choose to drive these malfunctioning cars, because if we do pass someone and the car stalls we're toast!! If the car stalls everything turns off and locks up!! Common sense!!!
My 2019 toyota camry, which I bought certified used in july 2020 had a recall that I never received notice of and only found out because I called the dealer on something unrelated. Toyota says they sent 1 letter to me, which is not enough for a flaw of this size and safety implication. It is no. 20v682. Toyota does not yet have a remedy for my model and therefore I've been driving with a car that could stall at high speeds. They do not define high speed. Communication has been [xxx] and the remedy should have been provided, given the serious nature of the recall. *tr parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
