First time went to get in my vehicle and the car would not even open, not even the trunk. Had been parked over night. The car was deader than a door nail. The Toyota dealer had a tow truck dispatched to me with a charge box. The charge box would not even crank the vehicle. Had to use his tow truck to jump the car took to Toyota they said it needed a software update. Did it seemed fine now fast forward several months later now when it cranks doesn-??t want to crank, dies then have to try again finally it crank. Took in today at dealer they tested battery said it-??s showing 100% testing so not the battery then they say the update didn-??t take back months ago so needs to be updated again ?. So now I-??ve been shuttled home as it will take 2 plus hours. I-??ve googled and seen so many complaints that are identical to mine and wondering why my vehicle has no recall when my vehicle has same issues apparently or I-??m being lied to by the dealer cause I-??ve got a complete lemon. I-??ve owned many Toyota-??s and never once had issues like this.
After 2 days parked in garage with lights off and doors closed the car wouldn't start. After jump staring the car in the screen in the dashboard a video was playing stating that an electronic board is affecting the engine and transmission. The car has just 15,500 miles. In March 2020 the same happen. Dealer said was fixed. I talked to Toyota (jeffrey) company and he said there is no recall or software upgrade.
Twice recently 2020 Toyota Camry with less than 8,000 miles on it would not start after being parked in a garage. In both cases, we charged the battery and car started right away. No doors were left open, no lights on, etc. What is causing the battery to drain after a day or two not being driven? my older Toyota with 150,000 is more reliable, sadly. Have read about a battery drain issue with this car, but Toyota customer service says my VIN number is not part of the recall. Seems like I am not the only one with this problem. Taking to dealership this week to see if problem can be identified.
I leased this vehicle in July 2020 for 24 months, the battery is not dependable; frequently, at random times, the car won't start.. I have had to call for assistance 6 times. Toyota explained that the battery has a defect called parasitic drain because of overload from 40 computers and only solution is to drive at least 1/2 hour twice a week. I am 88 years old with macula degeneration and consider this an unsafe requirement. Toyota suggested buying a new battery but if, as stated by the mechanic, the battery is getting continuously drained by overload, that makes no sense, I asked if they could block off some of the drainage (like bluetooth) they said not this model.I complained that I wasn't informed of this defect before buying and they explained it was in the manuel which I didn't receive until I signed the agreement.

Vehicle has a recall and dealer would not fix it went to two dealer ships now and they are denying that my car has a recall I guess I will just wait till my car catches fire and then and explode so I can file a lawsuit
I purchased my Camry in October. When starting it up in the morning for the past few weeks there was a slight hesitation. I attributed the issue to the cold temperatures and allowed the car to warm up before driving. Yesterday afternoon my car wouldn't start at all. It makes a clicking and rattling noise similar to an old clunker. I was parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I called the brown's Toyota dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was told to contact roadside assistance to have the car towed there. They were closing at 4P and would not be able to check out the car until Monday. They also informed me that I would have to pay for a loaner car upfront and be reimbursed if it was determined that I didn't cause the car not to start. So ridiculous. I shouldn't have this issue with a brand new car. From the looks of it reading through these other reports there's a serious issue with the 2020 Toyota Camry.
Would not start, 25,000. Hybrid malfunction warning, OCS warming, pre-collision warning, brake system warning. Dealer claimed software update issue. Had to be towed, late to work urgent care/covid, uber to dealer to get loaner, upset. Friday it happened again and I had surgery scheduled. Hybrid malfunction warning pre-collision warning, do not drive, call dealer, tow truck tested battery and it was good. Lights, bells, stereo worked, held key fob to push start no. 40,000 car and dealer today said, oh, we put in a new battery" in a new car? and for it to not start due to software update???? I go 100 out of city with dogs, no cell and would have been stranded in a brand new car due to no notification of hey there are problems, your car wont start, software update? anything? second time 6 weeks later, missed my surgery appt!!!!!!!! tow it again, they now say that Toyota has fixed on 2021 and dealer had list of vehicles with issues by VIN. Great. Why not tell me. One more lemon law Wisconsin. I don't even want to go pick it up. Its going to happen again. I think it is electrical, starter, hybrid. Byw why not replace hybrid battery? because they are too expensive. There are recalls for 2020 complete engines. I want it gone. It was parked in my driveway would not start at critical times. I do not feel safe in it, brake malfunction warning? pre crash warning, hybrid"

Engine coolant smell after driving. Doesnt matter how long I drove, 10 minutes or 6 hours, smell is there. Smell is sronger from driver side. Dealership told me it just does that! that they let sit in the parking lot running for an hour and there was no leak. It only has 10K miles on it. It shouldn't reek of hot coolant at all! it happens ever time I dive the car. Most recent 9/18/2020
1. car does not always accelerate when trying take off. Major delay in acceleration. Because of this I have been almost hit by oncoming traffic when crossing the highway several times. I have taken car into dealership and was told that I have to wait for an update in car computer system. 2. the car stereo system randomly shuts off. The stereo also randomly loses sound. I have taken car in for this also. I was told to wait for an update.
After driving my car for about 30 minutes maintaining a speed of about 60 to 65 I keep smelling coolant from underneath the hood when I get out of my car. Also my engine sounds a little rough from when I bought it. Took it to the dealership back in April they said it was normal that the engine was breaking in. Taking my car back to dealership tomorrow let's see what they say this time.
During multiple episodes whether the car is at a stop or in motion there is a delay from when the accelerator is depressed to when the engine responds and revs leading to more power and speed. For example when stopped at a light trying to make a left turn, I press the accelerator down and there is no major change in speed and revs until seconds later when then engine then goes from 1000rpms to 3000rpms. This can be dangerous and almost led to an accident as there was an oncoming car that almost hit me as I was trying to make the turn. Also happened when I was trying to accelerate to merge onto the highway and there was an acceleration delay for a safe merge.
Engine serial number D243692 large letters underneath number A25A. Safety recall notice number 20ta04. Due to the medical emergency coronavirus in the United States I am requesting a list of serial numbers for the engine blocks 2020 Toyota Camry. The dealer I contacted refuse to tell me if my engine block number is one that is affected by this recall, I called Toyota and they informed me that the dealer could only provide this information to me. I am requesting this information under us Freedom Of Information Act. Thank you,
