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
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
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.
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.
8 speed transmission the transmission performs poorly, regularly stalling between shifts, causing a lag in acceleration. It can't seem to pick a gear, leaving the vehicle stalled briefly, while the accelerator is depressed. Once, at a large intersection, in a high traffic area, from a stop, I attempted a right turn. The car stalled, while I depressed the accelerator, causing a mild panic, as I was confronted with an 18 wheeler attempting to turn into my lane. The car eventually accelerated, getting me out of the way, in a harried and frustrated huff at the poor performance of this new car. The transmission does not mis-perform upon every single shift of the gears, but there will be mis-performance occurring on every single trip taken in the car.
I have had constant problems with my 2018 Camry since purchasing May 2018. My car is always jerking as I accelerate and when I'm driving in town, feels like I'm getting rear-ended and hesitating on highway when I have to accelerate into traiffic which is very dangerous when the car won't get up and go. I have had it to the dealer several times. They reset the computer because it can save settings from previous drivers. That didn't help. They told me that it's a different transmission and it takes few seconds for the computer to communicate back to transmission. This is a very unsafe feature. The car is super loud and rough feeling with the tires. I feel like I'm driving an old vehicle from the 80's. the entune app has constant issues of not loading or recognizing my phone. Tire pressure light comes on all the time and pressure tests fine at dealer. Maintenance light comes on every 5000 miles for tire check and oil only needs changed 10000. Maintenance light should be separate from oil change so you know which one needs done.
