When attempting to start, car acted as if the battery was very low it turned over, dash went black for about 3 seconds and car started very forcefully. Car had been parked under carport for about 16 hours. The day before car was in the same conditions and started right up no problems.

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).

The last oil change I had with my Camry 2008 was in February 2017. After driving about 2000 miles in 1. 5 months after that oil change, I began to notice my car performance had degraded so much that I decided to check the oil level. When I checked my oil level I was shock to find there was no oil on my dip stick! I went to a local auto shop to pick up 2 quarts and added to my engine. The next day I went to drop it off at a Toyota dealer to perform the oil consumption after I found out about this defect in the engine online. It failed the test. At this point my mileage was 194,600 and my cars was 7 months short of turning 10 years old. The excessive oil consumption problem had occurred well after the extended warranty of 150,000! I am out of luck and Toyota refused to service my car due to the expired warranty!! I feel cheated out of the warranty! this should have been recall. Help!.

Our car began burning excessive oil around 75,000 miles. As it turns out, this problem is due to a defective 2az-fe engines which were installed in the following vehicles: 2007-2011 Toyota Camry hv, 2007-2009 Toyota Camry, 2009 Toyota corolla, 2009 Toyota matrix, 2006-2008 Toyota rav4, 2007-2008 Toyota solara, 2007-2009 scion tc, and 2008-2009 scion xb . Toyota knew about the material design defect engines but they decided to sell the cars anyway: the engine defect typically becomes apparent either during or shortly after the limited warranty period has expired, so it wouldn't be their problem. In response to a lawsuit in 2014, they issued an extended warranty. However, the guidelines are very restrictive and only cover the most egregious cases, leaving us with a faulty engine that consumes a quart of oil every 1200-1400 and no means of repairing the vehicle.

Camry is hit by a pick up truck on the left passenger side, causing the Camry to lose control and rotate more than 360 degrees on the road but none of the airbags, even the side airbags deployed. I called Toyota and asked by the side airbags did not deploy and was told that they could inspect it but they will be charging me $99 to check why the airbags didn't deploy. I was obviously distraught over the fact that they will charge me first before they can look at a potential safety issue about my vehicle and the person we talked to just basically asked me to call back if I wanted them to look into it and hung up.

About a month ago I was driving along and the radio got really loud for no reason for 10 seconds and then subsided. I didn't think much of this at the time, but after Wednesday, I now believe it must have been related somehow. I was sitting off-road waiting for traffic to pass by in order to turn-around and begin driving south. I had just turned on the car and turned the steering wheel in order to make my approximate 175 degree turn. My foot was on the brake and the car ready to move. All of a sudden the engine revved up and the car tried lurching forward as though someone's foot was on the accelerator. I had to reassert my foot's pressure on the brake in order to keep the car from moving. My foot had not left the brake, there was no person or thing trying to accelerate the car, it just occurred. The news about faulty accelerators entered my mind. There has not been any further incident at this time.

In early 2014 our 2007 Camry 4-cylinder was getting a general look over. It was discovered there was barely any oil touching the tip of the dip stick. We immediately had the oil changed by a local mechanic. I then stated to him that the dip stick was showing a tiny amount of oil on the tip of the stick and that it surely had no oil. He then told me that when it was drained it did have some oil remaining. It almost seems that the dipstick does not properly measure the oil. I did some research on the matter and discovered that there is a growing issue involving oil consumption on these engines across numerous models. It also seems bizarre that they state in the owners manual what Toyota considers normal engine oil consumption: 1 quart per 1,200 miles. If the car only holds slightly over 4 liters and the service intervals are 5,000 miles it seems pretty off that they would call that normal. Since the discovery of the oil usage we've kept a close eye on it and are adding oil every 1500 miles. Recently I have been noticing a light blue tint to the exhaust when the car starts and when I drive behind it going up a hill. Issuing a recall would certainly not help Toyotas recent recall history and it would be a expensive thing to fix on so many effected vehicles but at this point Toyota needs to be told to recall them. They need to act with integrity.

Bad threads on engine block. Engine leaking coolant. Mechanic determined head gasket bad. Toyota certified mechanic tore apart engine and on reassembly found the threads on the lower engine block were stripped and this was the cause of the head gasket failure. New engine/rebuild required at $5200. Failure caused by faulty threads/engine block at manufacturing end. Simply driving vehicle causes threads to disintegrate and catastrophic engine failure.

While backing out of my garage unto the driveway and then into the street, it caused a unintended acceleration while driving in reverse, causing almost a 90 degree spin and I had to slam on the brakes for it to finally stop. This happened once on 4/18/12 and then again the exact same thing happened again on 6/8/2012. The first time it happened I thought it was something I did and then when it happened again I knew that "something was really wrong" and when I realized the danger over that weekend I parked the car in my garage and have not driven it since. Now I am hearing of car door panels catching on fire for 2007-2009 Camrys. . . I will not even drive this car, it will be towed to the dealership this week. I will not be killed or kill someone waiting for something happen. I will never buy another Toyota product again.

Radiator/oil cooler copper nipple disintegrated causing loss of oil. Part that failed is original part of vehicle. The nut holding the nipple rusted and crumbled causing the oil cooler hose to separate from the oil cooler. Car has never had front end or any other damage.

I have a 2009 Camry le I bought in December 2008. It shakes alot in the cold and was told its because of snow and ice build up, and I accepted that. I then drove it when the temperature was 45 degrees with no snow or ice and it still shook, as if the balance was off but I know its not. I live in boston and hope they can correct it, otherwise I like the car.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while braking from 3 mph in an attempt to make a left turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact coasted off the roadway and was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the mechanic replaced the egr valve. The failure persisted. The contact stated the failure would only occur when traveling at low speeds. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer where unknown repairs were made to the vehicle. The repair did not correct the failure and it recurred at least five times following repairs. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but the dealer was unable to provide an adequate repair. The vehicle was not further repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage 119,000.

The car was idling, with the transmission in park, for about three minutes. I placed my foot on the brake in order to shift the car from park into drive. The instant the shift lever went into drive the car engine roared, the tires squealed, I was pushed back into the seat and the car shot forward heading toward vehicles on a busy street. I seemed to have no control of the vehicle, except for steering, from that point on. To avoid a broadside collision with vehicles the street I followed the contour of the banks drive through lane which was a 90 degree turn to the left. Nothing I did seemed to have any effect on the motion and operation of the car. In making the turn the right front wheel climbed over the driveway curb. In correcting for that I over steered the car and climbed the curb on the left side of the driveway striking a wells fargo sign on the property adjacent to the left side of the driveway before advancing into the main bank parking lot. The car proceeded forward where, just after entering the parking lot, it struck the right front fender and bumper of a usps mail truck. The car ricochets off the mail truck and proceeds into and almost through the adjacent cvs pharmacy parking lot before coming to a stop. The gasoline tank was gutted when the car ran over the sign resulting in gas being dumped on the bank driveway. The vast majority of the gas was spilled on the bank driveway just after the sign. The gas continued to spill but diminished as the car proceeded through the cvs parking lot to the point where there was no gasoline spill at all where the car came to a stop. It is my belief the car stopped for no other reason than it ran out of gas. Nothing I did or tried to do appeared to have any effect.

The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer however, it was not stated whether or not the vehicle was diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the egr lines, oxygen sensor, and drive cycle. The contact stated that the failure recurred every year. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

The check engine light came on and the engine stalled. The consumer experienced a shut down, and it became difficult to restart the vehicle. The mechanic discovered the egr valve was defective. The vehicle continued to stall out.

My check engine light came on my 2000 Toyota camera with 52000 miles. Went to montrose Toyota to have checked out. Code po441 indicated vapor pressure sensor for evaporative emissions inoperative. Canister failing. Cost of repair around $500. The only cause the dealer knows of for this failure is over filling the gas tank after it shuts off. I do not over fill my tank. This is a charcoal canister that takes in gasoline vapors. Over filling the tank will cause the charcoal in the canister to start breaking up. I was told this is an emissions problem and these defects should be covered by the manufacturer for up to 100000 miles.

There is a strong sulfur/rotten egg smell emitted by the vehicle whether I drive for along time or not. Service folks over phone indicated that it was just a "new car" syndrome and would go away shortly. 11,000 miles later it has not gone away. I live in atlanta where we have low sulfur content fuel and it should not be the cause of the problem. On short trips, the entire outside around the car stinks like a sewer when I stop. At traffic lights, the smell is really bad. I can not use the fresh air circulation because of the smell. Seems like the pcv system may not be working right, but there are no mils on indicating a problem. If there is a circulation problem which includes the exhaust system there could be a significant CO issue that we wouldn't be aware of until it is too late. Please help get to the bottom of this.

1998 Toyota Camry emission related repairs. Engine light was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the nearest dealer who stated the emissions valve needed to be replaced. The consumer received a letter from Toyota in reference to reimbursement of emission related problems and was denied. The consumer was concerned because the part was located near the intake manifold.

This car is a lemon. I have had five integrated relay's replaced and now it is out again. The headlight or the dash lights will work, but not both at the same time. Toyota said it was because I had a non-factory alarm installed. They replaced the alarm with a Toyota alarm and replaced the relay and it burned out the following day. They can't find the problem. The air conditioner has had a musty smell since the car was new. They spray the vents with "frigi fresh" and it's fine for a few days and the smell returns. They told me to spray simple green in the air intake once a week. That's a pretty poor remedy. The transmission will not hold on any incline. Sometimes the car will pull into the garage by it self and other times it will roll into the street. It depends on it's mood. The car lack power. Some days the car is peppy but most days it's a old mule. I went through arbitration and Toyota just keeps replacing parts instead of replacing the car. It's sits in the garage now because is not dependable. I think there needs to be an in-depth investigation and recall of the 1999 Camry.
