Clapping or tapping noise sounds like lifter or valve making noise at certain times. if you turn the engine off and turn the engine back on it will make the noise even press the gas pedal it gets a louder clapping. i get my every oil change at 5,000 miles. my vehicle shouldn't be making this noise.
I grew up on a farm and have worked on many machines over the years. i have owned cars, trucks, motorcycles and a boat. i understand how vehicles are designed to work. my car is a 2015 toyota camry se, 2.5l 4 cylinder engine. the safety issue i am having with this car began somewhere around 20,000 miles and about 2 years ago, when attempting to pull into to traffic, and while pressing the gas pedal there was a noticeable lose of power. the throttle did not respond for 3-5 seconds and downward trend in rpms. the next time i had the car at the dealer for service i reported this. the service tech reported there were no codes and the issue could not be recreated. now this same thing has happened 10-12 times at usually at between 2000-3000 rpms. it has happened turning into traffic, attempting to change lanes and just having the car a head move forward and attempt to accelerate to move forward as well to close the distance. this situation has been very intermittent, occurs while in motion and usually between 40-60 mph, and sometimes not occurring for months at a time. i filed a complaint with toyota corp at the advice of the service manager at the deal ship. i have been dismissed by the case managers at toyota, shuffled off to new case managers and always told that the issue could not be addressed until it could be recreated. i should stop everything and return the car to the dealer after each instance. finally, the car was left for a week and the issues occurred while technician was driving it. i was told the issue had been resolved. then it happened again. i called the case manager and was told that the problem had to be recreated again.toyota would rather have a driver on the road in an unsafe vehicle then resolve this issue. now the car sits in the driveway, mostly unused. the dealer will not give decent trade value because of this issue.
In previous years the engine equipped on this vehicle has experienced oil consumption problems due to the wear on the oil scrapper ring. my current toyota camry is in the beginning stages of burning oil. the current mileage of the car is 58k miles.

The car has stalled three times, twice on the highway, once losing power steering. twice accelerating at 5 and 50 mph and once idling at 30 mph. battery and charging system errors on dash. each time, pulling over, going to park, and restarting works. crank position sensor was replaced after second stall based on engine code p0339.
V6 engine stumbled upon accelleration in traffic. i was going about 35 mph and started to change lanes and speed up to the 50 mph speed limit on the 4 lane city highway. as i sped up the car felt like the engine had been turned off. this lasted about 3 seconds then sped up normally. we had just driven 50 miles at 70 mph speeds and had spent 2 hours having lunch with friends. car was parked in 80 degree sun during the meal. this "stumble"has happened two times previously and one complaint form completed (# 10896696).
Sitting in heavy traffic, i released the brake and began to move forward. the vehicle accelerated on its own and struck the vehicle in front of me. my vehicle sustained major front-end damage.
When accelerating from a complete stop or when slowing down to make a left turn, it hesitates as if the car has stalled when stepping on the gas pedal to go. it will go about 5 -10 feet just enough to get you out there into traffic and then nose dives because it loses all forward power, steady pressure on gas pedal and milking gas pedal does not make it resume any faster. so far it has lasted 30 to 45 seconds and then resumes. the rpms stay at about 1 (idle) and the eco light flashes randomly but car does not stall so far just loses forward motion and wont accelerate out of the way of traffic oncoming and behind you. this has happened 9-10 time oct 2016-dec 2016
