In dealer 2 different dealers for 2 computer failures 2x. So called repaired. Car hits the brakes by itself there is no way to turn off the radar on the front of the car. You have to remember to turn it off everytime you drive it. Then the gas pedal and brakes failed. The tow truck guy said just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to re-set the Ecu. Well he did and I had to retrain the car how to shift over several days. Good thing the failure occured at 30mph. I am selling this. I have owned Camry's since the 90's and im afraid to drive this and bought another car. Contact the next owner. Selling it as is.........
I was going home from Houston to Richmond Texas but a few minutes into driving some warning lights came on and a warning message says Secondary Brake System malfunction. Then all of a sudden the steering wheel was almost locked and was very hard to maneuver. But due to safety of where I was driving I tried hard to reach a Toyota service center nearby which was about to close so I decided to drive to another one nearby my home. A week or so later they said the car was inspected and repaired but on my way home after picking up the car I had to return it again and since then which has been approximately a month now the car is still in service waiting for parts. The safety of others and mine was at risk as the steering wheel was very tough to maneuver. The problem was confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle component was inspected by Toyota service worker and they said they also had it checked by the manufacturer personnel. There were no prior warning or symptoms prior to this incident which happened on May 24, 2021.

Electronic malfunction occurred while driving. Power windows, air bags, windshield wipers, heads up display, climate control, lane assist, auto lights, seat warmers, lane assist and collision sensors not working. Since auto-lights feature not working, I had to manually turn on lights and after 20 minutes of driving, they shut off.
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.
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.
The driver door will not unlock at times the key will not work and the only way to unlock is by going through the passenger side and unlocking the driver door. Also numerous occasions where the car has lost complete power and you have to pull over turn it off and turn it back
My wife's 2018 Camry rolled away down our driveway while the shifter was in park. It's got 33K miles on it. On the way down the hill, it clearly engaged the parking pin because it drug the front wheels 10 or so feet before hitting my neighbors house. The car was running, I hopped out after putting it in park and all four doors unlocked. I put a package in the rear driver side, went to open the trunk, my wife (who was sitting in the passengers seat) hit the remote on the keys in the ignition, and the car rolled backwards and nearly hit me. All four doors relocked, the pawl clicked until it engaged as it rolled away. It jumped the street, and park engaged and it slid the last 15 or so feet. The car was still running until my wife removed the key. The shifter assembly was in park the entire time.
I purchased a Toyota Camry on 2/17/20. Two weeks later the SRS airbag malfunction light started to illuminate and the rear seatbelt alarm continously sound off alerting me to fasten seatbelts when no one was sitting back there. I tried taking the vehicle back to the dealer I purchased it from to see what was going on but was told it had to be taken to Toyota. After taking the vehicle to Toyota, I found out the wiring harness had been torn and that it would cost me $4,900 to fix the issue. I was also told if I was ever in an accident, the airbag more than likely wouldn't deploy. Since discovering this issue, I have not been driving the vvehicledue to the safety issue.
Rodent damaged wiring harness for direct injection system while while vehicle was parked outside home at night. After repair, damage happened again, dealer and manufacturer response was that I was responsible for repiar and suggested an adhoc set of solutions to discourage animals -- dryer sheets, pinesol, commercial animal repellent.
Master control light on, not idling, wont start immediately after pumping gas, cuts of randomly when I stop and malfunction warning light for power steering
Car seems like the emergency brake is on but its not. When I drive off it pulls back and hesitates. The seatbelt doesnt always send the signal that iam wearing it which makes the car seat alarm go off. The car wont turn off when I press the button mulitiple times the ac cooling is loud along with the engine sound being also loud
In August 2918, the vehicle was purchased from mcgeorge Toyota of richmond, Virginia. In February 2019, the ac was not cooling. It was found that there were several high pressure leaks. The condenser was replaced in the car and has attempted to be repaired three other times, as two other times the freon was found to be low, and leaks from high pressure lines. After the second repair in March 2019, the wiring was found to be faulty, which in turn heated the vents up so hot, it produced a mild burn on my fingers. While driving, the temperature of the air coming out of the vents was extremely hot, so I turned the blower down and attempted to move the vents in an upright position. Furthermore, the mirror was found to be defective and a piece fell off while driving on the highway in January of 2019. Today, on 10/24/19, the car malfunctioned while in motion and in a stationary position. When this event occurred, it effected power, steering, brakes, air bags and several other major functions. I left for work and noticed my car just seemed to be driving oddly. I pulled off to see what was going on and get coffee. I turned the car off, went into the store. When I came to the vehicle and started it, I put it in reverse and could not turn the wheel. Nearly all of the warning lights came on. I turned the vehicle off and let it sit for several minutes. When I turned the vehicle back on, all of the lights were off and the vehicle was able to move and drive normally. Overall, this vehicle has had several major issues with wiring, electrical, body and has posed a serious threat to my safety. I have contracted the manufacturer several time and several attempts have been made to repair it; however the problems are consistent. The manufacturer demonstrates a lack of accountability for these defects and has been notified of these safety concerns.
This vehicle gave me problems from the beginning. To begin, it began breaking me in the middle of the road going about 45-50 mph. This continued to happen and my Toyota dealer told me that I was a liar. I continued to drive the car, unknowing when it would stop me in the middle of traffic again. It then had electrical problems because the dashboard and radio would go black while I was driving; my air conditioner would stop as well. Also, I was driving on an interstate alone with my cruise control on and it kept breaking me and telling me that there was another car in front of me. This continued for about 30 minutes of constant driving (picture below). The last thing that happened to me in this car was that the lane assist would pull me out of my lane and into another when trying to correct between lines. This happened a few times and Toyota would do nothing about it. My mother was driving my car one day about 75 mph on an interstate and it pulled her off the road to the left. This car gave me nothing but trouble since purchasing it brand new. My car started this trouble within 5 months of me owning the vehicle and Toyota provided no assistance. I was very upset and disappointed that I chose this car above others. I hope Toyota will do their job and fix these problems so another Camry driver may not experience what I, unfortunately, had to.
The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the lane departure feature failed to operate. While driving, another vehicle pulled in front of the contact. The contact struck the front middle portion of the other vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. The driver sustained multiple bruises, a broken sternum, and whiplash and was transported to the hospital for medical attention. A police report was filed. The insurance company was notified of the crash, but had not yet inspected and diagnosed the cause of the failure. The vehicle was towed to a facility. A dealer had not inspected the vehicle yet. Malloy Toyota (400 weems ln, winchester, va 22601, (866) 788-9507) was notified of the abnormal condition before and after the crash, but failed to provide any technical guidance. The manufacturer had issued 4 tsbs for lane departure however, the contact was uncertain if the failure was related to the tsb and they had not issued a recall campaign for a remedy. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 400.
