When one starts the car by pushing the start bottom, the car will start to shake and soon a very load cracking and rattling noise will began coming from the engine. engine light will come on while driving in the city and then turns off causing the driver to be aware of some issue. once the concerning noise goes away the car continues to shake but eventually stops after a while. this could make the car to stall and causing a potential crash. the vehicle left blind side detector does not respond 100%, it only works about 60% of the time. this causes the driver to think he/she are clear to turn to the left lane in the city and highway and it can cause the driver to hit another car and potentially crashing. the screen panel glitches from time to time while driving in the highway causing the driver to not be able to see and locate radio stations or manipulate the panel.
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
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. after attempting to pull into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated into the street and up a hill where it came to a stop. the vehicle was restarted and driven home. the vehicle was taken to steven toyota (2970 s main st, harrisonburg, va 22801, (540) 434-1400) where it was kept for over a week, but no failure were identified. a week later, the contact parked in front of a house where it accelerated again on its own and crashed into the house at 60 mph. the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and they referred the contact to call the manufacturer. the contact wanted the manufacturer to buy back the vehicle. the contact was assigned to two case managers to find a solution for the failures. the failure mileage was 13,000. *bf *ln*jb *tr
Car engine knocks after warming up. knocks goes away and comes back. loss of power and noisy driving. occasionally engine shakes at startup. my wife drives this car all the times and she complaint me several times in her words that car is not smooth and i keep ignoring. i have started driving this car after her complaint to make sure nothing is wrong or car is safe. i have recorded several videos of engine knocking having car parked in my garage. secondly gear shifting is very abnormal. sometimes shifts down for no reason and sometimes takes longer to shift down while passing and stays in lower gear for long time about 5-7 seconds even upshifted using lever on steering wheel. i could not record abnormal shifting operation due to safety reason during driving. i am just not sure how long this has been going on but i noticed this week ago after my wife complaint.
Defective transmission: 1: car hesitates to speed up from a full stop or while in motion. 2: rpm's go over 3000 before car reacts (2-3 seconds delay) , dangerous specially when taking curves or merging into traffic (highways, fast traffic roads). 3: i feel a "hiccup" like movement while in motion (sometimes). 4: car hesitates to shift or shifts whit excessive power. 5: downshifts and loss of acceleration (it happens erratically dealer have replaced the vehicle transmission, but the problem persist, now they are going to replace the vehicle computer and if the problem persist they will replace the transmission again. it seems like they don"t know what the problem really is. until now this are the symptoms i'm experiencing with my 2018 camry 4-cyl, certainly something i wasn't expecting from a toyota product. the unpredictable behavior of this car is dangerous, i never know when is going to response as it should do or when i'll have to floor it so it can rev up and finally move.
I just bought a camry se 2018 and everytime from takeoff to a stop pedals or transmission feel rougt is like the car dont move if you gonna take off i need to press the pedal so hard to get the car move to pass the others cars the same thing i dont feel safe in this car i have a 2017 elantra at that hyundai handle better than the camry so aceleration is rought i just have two days driving and i know thats cant be like that. so that happen when the vehicule is in motion after stop when pressing the gas pedal after stop when going to drive again hard aceleration and car wasting to much gas camry has 43k i bought it use and that happen the first day i bought i was thinking maybe is me cause i have a hyundai but i drove before a 2014 camry and is not like that

My 2018 toyota camry skips constantly when driving. it does not happen at a certain speed, i may be just taking off or been at a constant speed for a while and it skips multiple times. i have reported this to the toyota service department when i take my car in for service, they said they would make a note of the concern. this is very frustrating to deal with on a car that has low miles and is only 2 years old.
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.
Takata recall: when accelerating and deaccelerating the vehicle i noticed the transmission shifts really rough and makes the car jerky like it's going to stall out. do not feel safe at all with my brand new car driving this way. i've had the car for 7 months and want to get rid of it as soon as possible for this rough ride experience!
On december 6, 2018, i purchased a 2018 camry with 65 miles. i am writing to you regarding my accelerator pedal problem. this letter also documents the second incident with the accelerator pedal. the first incident occurred in a parking lot and left me stranded for 4 hours and then without a car for a day. the second incident occurred while i was making a right turn in traffic and the car issued a master warning light, a warning buzzer, and a message on the multi-information display that quickly disappeared. something is wrong with the accelerator control system or pedal itself. this is a safety issue. the following information is provided to help diagnose and fix the problem. on the fourth incident, i have a video that clearly shows there is an accelerator problem. in three of the four incidents, i was backing up in "r" and noticed there was no accelerator pedal, placed car in "d" and still no accelerator pedal than it would just go. if the car is unable to accelerate either in a turn or in any situation, than an accident or death could occur. currently car is at a toyota dealer. toyota did nothing on the first two visits, as there were "no codes" and would do nothing unless a code was present. i provided them with a video of the fourth incident and it seems they might be a bit more interested.

Hi i recently purchased a 2018 toyota camry in september with 7,000 miles on it and now it has almost 8,000 miles on it. after 1 week of purchase i am having some problems especially with the engine and transmission. engine because i am feeling a lose of power when accelerating and not smooth when driving also it is noisy when you start the car. also when at a full stop i can feel the vehicle shake and when you put your foot on the gas pedal and drive at 20 mph you can feel the pedal shake. transmission because i can feel the transmission jerking and when you put it on drive it doesn't feel like you are on drive it feels like you are on neutral driving because of how rough it is when you accelerate. i also went to the dealer for this matter but they couldn't do anything. please help me because i am very frustrated with toyota because many of my family members have toyotas and they never had this issue. the car is good but the lack of performance has disappointed me because toyotas have a great reputation and now they are just giving that all up just to save money on fixing this issue that's what i feel that they are doing. thats why i am disappointed with toyota and there engineering because i feel that they put in too much for the redesigned part but not the performance part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. the contact stated that rodents entered the engine compartment and ate the electrical wiring. the wiring attracted rodents and other animals. the contact had the vehicle previously repaired for the same failure, but rodents ate the wiring again. the vehicle was taken to toyota of ridgecrest (321 n china lake blvd, ridgecrest, ca 93555, (760) 375-4401) where it was diagnosed that there was rodent damage. the dealer stated that the failure was not their responsibility. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the failure mileage was 6,700. *bf*jb
Engine is very loud, acceleration fine one minute and the next minute i try to accelerate it doesn't even want to go anywhere i consider this a very serious issue being that i try to accelerate out into traffic. and it wants to stall and loses acceleration for 1 or 2 seconds. which is very dangerous being that i'm stuck there and oncoming traffic for that. of time and then i have to step on it way way more than what i should have to get out of harm's way. these incidents take place on the city streets not the highway. only in the beginning of accelerating.
When slowly accelerating from about 20 miles per hour to about 40 miles per hour and around 2500 revolution per minute, the engine and/or transmission shakes and/or stall.
1. every time i back out of my driveway my brakes squeak very loudly. 2. the transmission never knows what gear to be in while driving and will clunk in and out of gear while in motion. 3. has a terrible burning smell of plastic and oil like when the car engine is hot. 4. drive side cabin has a constant antifreeze smell while running the a/c 5. the engine has a horrible load knocking noise while running. it sounds like a very old car. 6. i don't know what's wrong with the acceleration of the car or if it was designed this way but the 3-5 sec delay is dangerous i have complained about each one of these items to the toyota dealer in gastonia nc at the 5 mile, 10mile and 15mile service and each time the dealer just tells me its fine and that's normal.
After taking delivery of the vehicle i noticed that the vehicle accelerates very poor and when the vehicle was set on cruise control it would drop speed for no reason.
This vehicle has a major delay/hesitation when hitting the gas to accelerate. when i am attempting to accelerate or pass another vehicle, it takes 3-5 seconds before the engine reacts. it is dangerous when attempting to pass another vehicle in multiple lane traffic - the chances of being rear ended because of the hesitation are high. i have addressed this issue with a dealer and they continue to tell me that the vehicle doesn't have the issue that i am experiencing - it most certainly does! i am fed up with the lack of action to remedy this dangerous flaw.
4-cylinder xse has significant acceleration delay after depressing the pedal; this is especially apparent when accelerating from a rolling stop at approximately 15-25 mph. occasionally, the gear will also shift abruptly when accelerating from 15-25 mph, causing the car to lurch forward suddenly. this is dangerous; if there is a car in front of you, there is a high chance of causing a rear end accident.
Takata recall . i bought brand new toyota camry se 2018 from the toyota dealer for taxi in new york city. i drive in new york city and sometime go to out of town up to 150 miles. on my first 10000 miles maintenance , i told the dealer that when i drive, car jerking/breaking the speed or say hesitation after drive few miles. i feel suddenly the speed start is jerking/breaking the speed for few seconds and then come back in regular speed. even my leg is at the accelerate continues. on my complaint, the dealer technic drove the car and he reported that at present time he did not find any problem. i think, he lied. i did reported to toyota and they open the case. they going to check on my next maintenance. because of jerking/breaking or say hesitation, i feel might car suddenly stop in highway or any where. i drove over 1500 different cars in last over 33 years in my life and never see this kind of problem in past. i do see toyota camry 2018 have lot of new feature and use new technique but somehow this jerking/breaking or say hesitations during driving in any speed not good. need to investigate and found why this happened.
The car has acceleration/speed problems. it takes too long to accelerate when changing lanes, passing other vehicle, or entering freeway. this issue is going on all and every time i drive it. i purchased the car one month ago. this is my 5th camry and i never had this problem. car is unsafe and im scared to drive. toyota, do something before someone dies!!!!!!!!!!. i almost got rear-ended couple of times
From the first week of driving, there became a terrible and annoying hesitation of 3-5 seconds when accelerating. since this is a v6, it accelerates great, but i realized after deceleration and then accelerating again, there was a long delay before the engine would 'catch up' with the idea that we wanted to go again. upon complaining to service, they said it takes several hundred miles for the computer to learn how each individual drives. again, after several hundred miles, the same occurrence, and it seemed to even get worse as i sometimes spin the front tires (on ice and snow and wet roads) once the car's computer actually accelerated. once the dealer actually 'reset' the computer which made things worse because the 'learning' mode started over. several times i complained and finally one of the master techs admitted this is because of the drive-by-wire system that replaced the mechanical foot-pedal direct acceleration. he said it's also complicated by the 8-speed transmission, that when decelerating, the trans upshifts to maybe 6th or 8th gear, and once the driver accelerates again, the drive-by-wore system , which is already delaying acceleration from the drivers foot pressure, has to then up shift several gears 'immediately', this causing a lurching (and sometimes tire spin). toyota acknowledges the 'problem', but says since other similar cars do the same thing, that it's 'normal'. i disagree. it's is a fault, a design defect, and it should be investigated and repaired. toyota has become service-lazy in recent years and refuses to fix design flaws, forcing their customers to deal with faulty cars.
I've had this 2018 toyota camry since may 23, 2018 & i noticed not even a week later that this car has a problem accelerating. i contacted the salesman, the service manager, & the sales manager & they all been giving me the run around. the service manager told me my car was sluggish, but told the customer service rep they couldn't find anything wrong when they put the car on the machine which is a lie. i literally have to mash the gas down hard and pray it goes. there's definitely something wrong with this transmission & they way it accelerates. at this moment it seems as if they don't care. i'm really stressed & dissatisfied about how they are handling this.

The 2018 toyota camry is having a problem shifting and allowing the car to increase speed. the car constantly jerks when you try to move and sometimes when you're sitting it still jerks. it's like the transmission is missing a shift or something.
Car is hesitating/sluggish when accelerating from a stop/rolling stop. takes forever to get to highway speeds, which is extremely dangerous. when there is traffic on a highway, changing lanes into a lane in which traffic is going faster is extremely hard due to fear being rear-ended. car struggles to get from 0-45 and will only do so when the accelerator is stepped down all the way. transmission shifts are very jerky. seems like the transmission doesn't know what gear to be in 90% of the time. all these symptoms appear to be in only the 4 cylinder model of the 2018 camrys.
I purchased my toyota 2018 camry se with 4 miles on it. almost immediately i noticed that the car has major problems accelerating. while resuming driving ,from a stop sign or red light and merging on to a highway, when i press the gas pedal the car has a major delay in acceleration. it makes a loud revving noise like a sports car when i put my foot on the gas, and the car does not take off when pressing the gas pedal . it is a major delay .its very slow, and you barely move while the car is making a tremendous and embarrassing amount of loud noise. in order to try and avoid being hit by oncoming traffic, i press the gas pedal to the floor, and at this time i don't know what will happen. its totally random . i could take off out of sync with pressing the gas too quickly , or barely move at all. this is hazardous. i have complained to the service department twice at the toyota dealership, that i purchased my car with no resolution. the dealership said both times, that they test drove my car and said nothing was wrong with the car. please do a recall on this car for our own safety.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. when the vehicle accelerated, a loud knocking noise was heard from the engine compartment. the noise was also heard when the vehicle was stationary. the vehicle was taken to steve landers toyota (10825 colonel glenn rd, little rock, ar 72204, (501) 568-5800) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. the failure mileage was 2,000.
I have a 2018 toyota camry and on my first week after buying it, i noticed that there's a major acceleration delay that i couldn't bear anymore. it's making a weird sound and is definitely something noticeable. toyota seriously needs to take care of this as this may cause accidents especially on merging on the freeway. i tried to take it to 2 different toyota service centers and both just told me that my car was driving fine. i looked up some complaints for this car online and it seems like a lot of people are actually complaining about this same as with 2019 models. i hope toyota will fix this because it's making us consumers very frustrated.
When the car in the low speed around 20 miles/hour and the engine around 2000rpm, the transmission is wired trying to find specified gear, make the car speed increased and decreased, it like jerk the car. another problem is when you trying to speed up catch up cars speed from lower speed on highway, press the gas pedal, the car just like thinking the life philosophy the rpm reach 4000 the car suddenly speed up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration, even when the accelerator pedal was not depressed. there was also a lack of acceleration when attempting to merge, abnormal shifting, and the vehicle stalled. in addition, the odor of anti-freeze filled up the cabin. the failures occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to toyota grand rapids (located at 2555 28th st se, grand rapids, mi) where the failures were confirmed, but could not be remedied. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 250.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle surged forward and accelerated independently without depressing the accelerator pedal. the vehicle then decelerated and the contact depressed the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. in addition, the vehicle stalled as the motor revved. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to toyota of grand rapids (2555 28th st se, grand rapids, mi 49512, (877) 703-5930) where it was diagnosed that a new software program update was needed. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 275.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 toyota camry. upon starting the vehicle, the traction and check engine warning indicators illuminated. also, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle started shaking. the vehicle was taken to darcars 355 toyota rockville (15625 frederick rd, rockville, md 20855 (301) 340-0900) where it was diagnosed that rodents chewed through the insulation and wiring, which needed replacement. the vehicle was repaired. the contact researched the failure online and found that a soy-based product was used in making the insulation and wiring, which could attract rodents. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not assist. the failure mileage was 700.
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.
