Smell of coolant and engine jerks and brakes go down far on brand new car

- Scottsburg, IN, USA

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"

My Toyota Camry xse 2020 battery was dead. I been driving it for almost 6 weeks and I got stranded today when it didn't turned on. It's been happening to many 2020 models and we need answers and solutions. I do not want to be left stranded again.

New vehicle, pristine condition. Highway driving, open space, straight line. No trees, cars, trucks, overpasses, etc. In vicinity. Weather overcast, no rain. Without warning, sunroof glass exploded outward. Glass pieces did fall inside, but mostly blew out and back, gouging rear window and causing significant paint damage on trunk. Size of blowout hole approximately 24"X13". Toyota says not their fault, clearly a rock hit it.

Car suddenly accelerates by itself. I apply brakes and it still propels itself. I lose control of the vehicle and feel that I am lucky that I do not hit a pedestrian or another car because the sudden acceleration eventually stops. The car is new with only 900miles. I am scared to death to drive it. Tomorrow I am bringing car back to the dealer for advice. This sudden acceleration has happened twice. Of course this occurs when I am driving at slow speeds.

The day was partly cloudy. The location was Maryland. The vehicle was a new 2020 Toyota Camry SE 4door. While driving with my sunroof exterior flat glass and interior door assembly both completely closed, my daughter and I suddenly heard a boom explosion. While driving trying to safely exit, huge black chunks were flying behind us, that was later identified as broken sunroof glass flying behind us hitting the vehicles traveling behind us. We pulled over and got out of the car. We discovered that my vehicle's sunroof had exploded. Instead of the remaining broken sunroof glass edges exhibiting a concave downward appearance, the remaining shattered glass exhibited a convex outward appearance indicating an explosion had occurred. Took the vehicle to a local Maryland Toyota dealer for help and was told because the vehicle wasn't purchased from their dealership they couldn't help me. Hence the oem glass replacement costs were covered by my auto insurance, with a $500 deductible. A few days later after I returning home, the new oem glass and sunroof assembly began to screech and crackled as if it was coming apart. The Toyota dealership where I purchased my vehicle renigged on their promise to make my sunroof assembly new again at no costs since the vehicle was still under warranty. Now I deal with a crackling and squeaking sunroof assembly that makes me fearful of the sunroof exploding again. Note: The purchasing dealership failed to comply with my auto sunroof glass and assembly that was still under warranty and refund my auto insurer and me as they had promised.

My 2020 Camry /Toyota is built so low it knotted the claps a loose from under the front part of the vehicle... due to how low the vehicle was built any slight unevenness in the road you can hear and feel the front of the car scrape the front end of the car.

Slow acceleration during 1st 1 or 2 gears. Almost had multiple accidents in highway due to slow acceleration when changing lanes. The vehicle does not immediately respond to acceleration when accelerator pedal is used. The vehicle has a couple of seconds delay until it changing into next gear. Dealer non responsive. I brought it into my Toyota dealer and the service technician drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I explained that my previous (3) V6 Toyota Camry's did not have any problems with acceleration, he totally understood. The new 8- speed transmission has different shift settings which explains the acceleration delay and sometimes causes a jerky motion from a dead stop, driving in stop & go traffic or while entering a highway. According to the tech, they have been provided with no fixes for this problem and that the car will "learn" my driving habits the more I drive it.
