2019 Toyota Camry complaints

Transmission out after 85,000 miles. Just spent almost 4k to replace head gasket and now the transmission is out. Did regular scheduled maintenance on time and took really good care of my car. Many reports of this problem by many people.

Car completely stopped while I was driving on the highway. Multiple warning lights appeared and stated that they failed. Examples of error messages in the information system were LDA malfunction, secondary brake, collision malfunction and check engine light. Car cranks fine but when shifting to drive or reverse car wont drive. Transmission failed at around 80,000 mile

On three separate occasions the Pre Collision System has inappropriately activated while driving at high speeds. It seems to occur during dusk/dark and when it is raining. Two out of the three times it applied the brake, which easily could have resulted in an accident. I inspected the wiring for one of the sensors underneath the hood which appears fine. The sensors were cleaned off in all of these instances.

Vehicle sunroof exploded while driving home from work. The interior sunroof screen was 90% closed causing only a few pieces of glass to fall into the car striking myself while driving. When the incident occurred, it sounded like a shotgun going off over my head causing me to duck and swerve almost into another vehilce on the road. This is the second such incident involving this car and it happened on the exact same road within a half a mile of the previous incident 3 years earlier. No rocks or debris caused this. Possible elevation change due to going uphill on hwy. Insurance claim has been initiated. There were no warning signs of this.

A Tire Bridgestone Turanza EL 440 size 235/4019 with 37000 miles had a catastrophic failure despite being inflated correctly. Neither did the tire hit anything. We feel this is a safety concern as within a few seconds the tire came apart on both sides completely. See pics. I noticed that other Toyotas made that year has almost the same tire that has been recalled. Tire basically disintegrated too by crumbling.. Thank you

Transmission failure at 84,000 miles,transmission was slipping when trying to shift between gears and vehicle was decelarating and engine was also reving high,I almost got rear ended by a semi truck because of this issue a few weeks later my vehicle now does not move when I put it in reverse or drive,vehicle will not move or accelarate anymore.

Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction

You absolutely can not pull out in traffic because the car has a horrible lag, it’s as if it stalls at initial acceleration. Whether it’s pulling out of a side street, setting off from a stop light, or occasionally while already moving and speeding up. When stepping on the vehicle’s accelerator pedal, there was a lag of around five seconds or so before the vehicle started to accelerate at all. Yes it’s available for inspection upon request. The safety issue is the car can kill you at any moment but you never know when! The dealer has “fixed” the issue once already with a recall. The vehicle has not been inspected again because you never know when it will happen and they think they already fixed the issue! Initially I got warning lights before the recall and had the vehicle towed 3 times in the first month of owning it for its problem. Now it just does the same stuff without warning lights and hasn’t broken down yet.

The car randomly slams on the brakes even when you aren’t near anything. Yes it’s available for inspection. The safety problem is you could be rear ended at any time when this occurs. My husband was driving on the freeway at high speeds when it happened one time. The other incidents happened to me thankfully at a slower speed but while moving on the road. Also while pulling out or into parking spots. I know it is a safety feature so you don’t hit things but I know how to drive and when I can back up safely without it slamming the brakes on. It has not been inspected and there were no warning lights indicating something was wrong.

The lane assist is turned off, but it continues to operate against my wishes. I turned the lane assist on and off numerous occasions in an attempt to “reboot “ it. But the lane departure assist is still continuously on even when the dashboard indicates it is turned off. It is clearly an electrical or software problem.

Insurance claim never received the check for repairs. Vaughn Toyota horrible.Seat Belt broke,did not want to nor be of service for policy.No salesman with like license,but I.No inspection on car,just drove.

The contact owned a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, the contact's daughter was involved in a collision. Another driver ran a stop sign at 30 MPH and crashed into the front passenger side of the vehicle causing the front wheel to detach. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. At the time of the impact, the driver hit her head on the glass. The driver sustained neck, back, wrist, and head injuries that required medical attention involving CT scan, MRI, and x-rays. No other people were injured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

Subject: Urgent Safety Concerns: 2019 Toyota Camry XSE ABS Brake System/ ABS Actuator Issue Description: In late July, while on the freeway, I faced an alarming situation with six brake system malfunction indicator lights. After briefly turning off and restarting the engine, the warning lights cleared. 6 Warning Lights: LDA Malfunction, Pre-Collision System Malfunction, Lower Braking Power, Antilock Brake System Malfunction, Parking Brake Malfunction, and Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction. Timeline: Around 38,900 miles, during an August 19th maintenance appointment, the technician identified error code C1300, indicating an ABS skid control ECU malfunction and advised dealer contact. In September, during my first visit to the dealer for this issue, despite mentioning C1300, the dealer recommended a battery replacement, which didn't resolve the issue. 2nd Visit to Dealer Service Center: Toyota dealer service detected code C1300 and recommended replacing the ABS Actuator for an estimated cost of $2,009.41. However, this may not guarantee issue resolution, requiring further diagnostics due to potential concurrent unknown factors. C1300 Code: The ABS skid control ECU outputs this DTC if malfunction are found in the circuit inside the ECU by self-diagnosis. Manufacturing Defect: I strongly believe that this malfunction in the ABS skid control ECU is a manufacturing defect. It's rare for a newer, low-mileage vehicle to experience such a critical issue. Safety Implications

60K miles n 4 year old car, now needs a [XXX] water pump, check engine turned on n took it to a dealer n now I have to pay 500 dollars for parts n labor for a car that is 4 years old. Dealer says I have no warranty. I find it hard to believe that this car is already causing me issues. In disbelief. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Dash board exhibits 2 warning messages 1) Parking brake malfunction 2) Cruise control malfunction The issue has been confirmed by my auto mechanic and he referred me to the Toyota dealership.

When driving my vehicle over 30 MPH my car would begin to slightly shake and upon taking my car to an auto repair shop he informed me that it was a transmission issue. I then took the car to Apex Transmission and was told that the transmission had to be replaced. I assume if I did not get the car repaired then eventually it would break down. I was given the choice of purchasing a used transmission or a new one from Toyota and I chose to replace it with a new one. There were no warning lights or messages displayed on the dash.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be fully depressed to slow the vehicle. The contact also felt the brake pedal shaking while depressed. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

This is an extension to a previous complaint filed 8/15/23, complaint #11538570 I'm still experiencing safety issues and engine related problems with this vehicle after towing it to the dealership 8/8/23. Following 14 days of non-DTC codes coming up, at Sloane Glenside Toyota Service Center, the computer diagnostic finally revealed P107A2A and P12D501 issues. Although these codes indicate a fuel sensor and fuel pump control and electrical failure issues, the technician replaced a "vacuum switching value because of a low fuel pressure. I picked up the vehicle after the codes were reportedly cleared, and 5 days later, on 8/26, new dashboard warnings revealed a LDA malfunction, pre-collison malfunction, and a secondary break malfunction; all safety related, that caused the vehicle engine light to reappear, shaking violently, idling and eventually shutting down while traveling at approx. 30 miles, in the middle of a busy Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, road. I was unable to report this concern again to the dealer as it was on Saturday, after 5pm, and no staff was onsite. I plan to tow the vehicle back to toyota first thing Monday morning, 8/28/23.

When driving home I was doing about 25 mph when my car stalled and 5 or 6 display lights came on. ( secondary collision brake system malfunction, check engine, charging system malfunction, Lda malfunction and engine stopped steering power low.) so I costed into the nearest parking lot blocking an entrance to the facility, so I wouldn’t be blocking traffic on a busy 2 lane road at lunch time. So I then put car In park and shut it off and waited. I tried starting my car and it started but raved up and shut off. So I turned key off and waited 10 minutes. I tried 2 more times waiting 5 minutes longer each time. As I’m writing this I’m waiting for tow truck cause now my car won’t start at all. But I had someone bring an obd tool and P2119,2111, codes showed up.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the pedal remained on the floorboard. The contact stated that the braking distance was extended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

1. Engine shuts down while in operation. 2. Engine light switched on 3. Loud engine noise follows 4. Car unmovable for ~ 20-30 mins. 5. Operations resumes, engine light turns off. Next incident includes all of the above, except engine never recovered, and vehicle had to be towed to dealership. 6. Dealer service claims no issues revealed on diagnostic report.

VEHICLE STALLS AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY This problem happened 1 time on 7/22/23, 1 time on 7/23/23, and 5 times between 7/29/23 and 7/31/23 when traveling between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Symptoms (this repeats every time) 1.High speed (freeway speeds) car stalls, loses power and begins slowing. This is very dangerous in heavy traffic and could have very easily caused an accident! 2.Pumping the gas pedal brings the engine power back within 3-10 seconds and the car picks up speed again. 3.The MIL check engine comes on and the instrument panel rotates through malfunction alerts from ICS, LDA, parking brake, secondary collision brake system, etc. and continues cycling through the alerts until the engine is turned off. 4.When restarting right away, the malfunction alerts and MIL remain. 5.After the car has been off for at least 30 minutes, sometimes the warnings and MIL reset. The dealer gave an appointment to have the car checked 3 days in the future. This Camry was not on the recall lists for failing fuel pump even though it matches for manufacturing date.

I financed my 2019 Toyota Camry LE with about 43,000 miles on it in 09, 2022. After having the vehicle for a couple days I noticed a delay in acceleration especially when starting from a stand still. I press on the gas to make a right turn onto a busy street and my car stalled/lagged for a couple of seconds before the car lurched and the rpm’s jumped up significantly. I was almost hit by a car since my car wasn’t able to pick up speed in time and the stall/lag placed me in harms way and kept me there. The car swerved and honked at me rightly so. When breaking getting off the freeway and my car shakes violently and the brakes doesnt seem to be working 100%. I took my car into an autobody shop near me work where I voiced all my concerns and needed to know if I just bought a faulty car. After doing a full inspection and a test drive the mechanic agreed about the delayed acceleration but the car didn’t have any warning codes so they assumed that their was nothing wrong with the car. I continued to drive the car and tried my best to write off the way the car drives as normal not worry. More and more incidents occurred where I was almost hit due to the lag in acceleration. Now the lag is accompanied by the car shaking/jolting through the lag. The shaking while breaking started happening from medium speeds as well as the higher speed previously. My car has also gotten increasingly louder when started, running, and in idle. The engine over revs continuously. I have a hard time keepin

While driving on high way normally, suddenly multiple malfunction indicator lights were on at the same time. The screen shows antilock brake system malfunction, secondary collision brake system malfunction, LDA malfunction, pre-collision system malfunction, low braking power.

My 2019 has an acceleration delay issue. I have taken it in to get it checked, and Toyota says that it checks out according to their standards. However, the issue has never gone away, and I have had to learn how to drive and accommodate this severe and dangerous safety issue. When I press the acceleration pedal, there is a delay when I'm at a complete stop or in the low gears. I try to make sure that I do not get into a situation where I may need to accelerate quickly to avoid an accident, and I pray that I never find myself needing to accelerate quickly. Unfortunately, it's been an ongoing issue, and Toyota does not recognize it nor offer to fix it.

Vehicle lags then jerks upon acceleration

This afternoon we had 3 safety incidents in a row as we were driving from Austin to San Antonio. Our Camry suddenly lost power while we were on the highway, driving 70 miles an hour, when multiple warning lights came up and the car information screen said "secondary collision brake system malfunction, visit your dealer" when this occurred the car suddenly lost power and decelerated. We had to pull over and find a safe spot to park. Doing so was dangerous because the car was barely moving forward. for the first incident, we turned the car off and we let it sit for 5 minutes. when we turned the car back on, the error code disappeared. About 25 minutes later the same thing happened at highway speed. We parked, turned the car off, disconnected the battery and waited 5 minutes, on restarting the error code disappeared. After another 25 minutes on I-35 the car did it again. These were scary and dangerous events on the highway. We were fortunate to be able to pull over each time this happened. We were afraid and did not understood why. After the third incident, we were able to drive 1 hour without the malfunction reoccurring. In our internet research this seems to be a wide spread problem of modern Toyota. Please for the safety of the American driving public, please investigate this widespread problem.

When attempting to lock and activate alarm, the doors do not lock. The vehicle is not secured. The passenger door does not lock or unlock when using keychain or when attempting to unlock from driver door. The passenger window does not roll up or down correctly. It will stop and roll back up and viceversa. When pressing the gas pedal the car will abruptly pick up speed causing passengers to feel unsafe.

There's a malfunction on Pre-Collison System and SRS Airbag System. Third-party licence softwares access to IoT sensors and vehicle data collection without the owner's informed consent.

Passenger seat makes sound like if the seat is not locked in. My passenger has a manual handle and it is not a electric seat. I get worried sometimes because when I have someone sitting in the passenger seat I fear that seat might shift forward or backward. This sound is more common when I make a full stop and hit the break pad. My car is always clean and I never have stuff under the seats for safety purposes.

My 2019 Toyota Camry was left in my driveway for three days during the winter, and during that time, a rodent or rodent(s) got inside the engine and insulation and ate the engine cover, multiple writing harnesses, damaged the ignition coil(s), and rendered the vehicle un-operable, requiring a tow to Toyota for repair. The initial DTCs from the rodent were Cylinder 3 and 4 misfire, pre-collision system, emergency brakes, and parking brakes, among others. When the 2019 Camry was left in my driveway for three days, two other cars were also parked, one on each side of the Camry, and sustained no rodent damage. Come to find out, the electrical components, insulation, and writing harness in Toyota vehicles all contain a Soy ingredient that apparently rodents love.

Unknown cause with no prior symptoms. Multiple alerts including pre-collision system malfunction, ICS system malfunction , parking brake malfunction. Malfunctions occurred while driving, with reduction of engine power and engagement of electronic parking brake forcing vehicle to immediately stop. Was able to turn off all collision avoidance systems and electronically disengage the parking brake to allow the vehicle to be moved to safety. Vehicle seemed to be electronically limited to 40mph.

Transmission issue. Almost getting rear ended because the 8 speed transmission can’t find a gear to go in without almost tearing itself apart. Time after time, this transmission jerks, hesitates, lurches, and hunts for a gear to go into. I’m getting really scared that it’s going to cause an accident.

Took vehicle to dealership because the AIRBAGE SIGNAL LIGHT CAME ON. SO THEY TELL ME THAT THE REAR SEATBELTS ARE FAULT AND IT WILL COST ME 1700 TO FIX WITH THE COST OF A WIRE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACE FOR THE SIGNAL THAT COMES ON FOR THE AIRBAGE AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS TEMPORARY AND SIGNAL LIGHT MAY COME ON AGAIN. MALFUNCTIONED SEAT BELTS. SEATBELTS THAT ARE FAULTY FOR A VEHICLE AFTER 3 YEARS.

Transmission shifts extremely jerky. Sometimes it seems like it shifts too early or too late. I don’t feel like this transmission is acting like it should at all. The dealership says that it’s normal but I’ve never had a car drive this way

While traveling at interstate speeds (about 68 MPH) a vehicle in front of me (about 6 car lengths ahead) hit a pickup truck. I hit the brakes and then my car's auto braking system was activated (displaying on the dashboard) but it did not feel like my car was slowing down. I then proceeded to push the break all the way to the floorboard and my car did not slow down causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me. It felt like the auto-breaking system was preventing me from applying full braking power. When I pushed the break petal to the floor it felt like I was pushing on air. There was no resistance on the petal as there normally would be. There were no skid marks on the road and after the impact, my vehicle would not move. I had to put the car in park and then back into drive to move off the road.

The seat warmer is heated even when no indication on control panel that it is on. The seat stays hot and there is no way to turn it off.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, he heard a popping sound coming from the roof of the vehicle.

The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,560.

I am having issues with my transmission and the dealer is saying that is normal and the car is struggles to get up to speed
