general problems of the 2011 Toyota Camry

My Camry is using excessive oil and it has the same engine number included in all the other complaints. I took my car in to have the oil consumption test done. No leaks were found, oil change was done and I was told to come back in a week. The first check up oil was added by the technician (ii was not told how much) and I was asked to return in 1000 miles. I was told to add oil if needed. When I returned for this check, up, I let them know that I had to add a quart of oil between the check ups. When the csr returned he said we were all set. The amount of oil being consumed was "within the parameters ". I know this is not correct! they say nothing is to be done. I can hear the tapping noises from the pistons in my engine about every 3 days of driving because of the lack of oil. My car looses power and starts acting sluggish etc. . . This is damaging my vehicle! I have taken excellent care of my car. I hought it brand new. Oil changed on time along with all suggested maintenance. Please investigate these complaints on this Toyota' engine. By 2011 this problem should have already been corrected. Now I see that some of the cars have been fixed while others have not been. If all have the same problem, Toyota needs to be held accountable. My car's value is lower due to this problem and I will have to keep adding 3-4 quarts of oil between oil changes (@ $13 00 a quart) as I cannot afford to purchase another at this time.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry while his wife was reversing and when attempting to drive the vehicle spontaneously accelerated. And crashed into a stone wall. The driver sustained injuries to her wrist and ribs and medical attention was provided. There were no warning lights illuminated. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a independent lot. There was no fire. The local dealer was not contacted diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted who provided case number 1909121131 and retrieved the data recorder box. The failure mileage was 47,000. The vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company.

My 2011 Camry has 55k miles and having hard transmission shifts. Specially when coming to stop there a lag in rpm and transmission moves therefore, car feels like a punch in transmission. This could be dangerous in emergency stops because car doesn't want to stop. Also, when accelerating car let you feel changing gears. I hope NHTSA will raise our voice to Toyota. Thank you.

I have had complications not only with visor on drivers side but also the their is a clunking weird noise from the suspension. If turn on heat or touch radio the lights on dash flash. I also when trying to accelerate their is no power.

I am having transmission problems with my Camry. It has 66000 miles on it. When the car accelerates it jerks when shifting gears. When it comes to a stop it shifts hard. I noticed when the car comes to a stop the rpm goes up little bit.

The car it's hard to turn now, it make noise when I accelerate, liking grease-oil on the ball joints. It sounds like the problem with the recall , but my car is 2-11. . A month before the recall ( that starts in 3 -11). . So I took it to dealership, and they didn't wanted to help me with that. They want to charge me like $800. What can I do??.

Seat cloth broke driver. . Vent visor driver broke and took it off and threw it away. . Turn a. C. And knocking noise. Clunking noise on suspension since I bought the car dealer never did anything. Now in may this year I experience vibration when I accelerate around 40mph. Crazy annoying issue. Paid to much money. Car looks new but a lot of issues. I don't even think airbags work. Accident and didn't come out. Crazy unsafe car with to many major issues.

My car has been experiencing hard shifts when switching gears and sometimes going idle during gear shifts. I've taken it to the Toyota dealer several times and they can never replicate the issue. I took my car in for service a few days ago and they didn't notice a transmission leak that another third party mechanic did. Makes me wonder they are trying to avoid accountability here. The third party mechanic told me that his car had the same issue and he had to fight for Toyota to fix the issue. There are a lot of people having this transmission gear issue and it should be resolved by Toyota immediately. This can cause major issues which would cause the consumer a lot of money.

Upon doing research, I've noticed there are several complaints concerning the transmission on this vehicle. When my wife and I first bought the vehicle, I noticed the the vehicle would hesitate when shifting gears. Sometimes when I would drive the vehicle, it would rev up very quickly before it changed out. Just recently, it begun to rev up more often before it shifted gears. It did that for a few days before it wouldn't shift gears at all after 40mph. Then ultimately, it wouldn't change gears at all. My vehicle has under 134,000 miles on it and it appears the transmission has burned out on it. After analyzing the reviews concerning this issue,I feel it is fair to say that Toyota has sold its consumer an inferior product. I, as a consumer, really wish Toyota would consider this issue because this is a major expense at the hands of the consumer. I, being a lower class working man, really went through a lot to obtain the money to cover this expense. You probably can tell because I'm taking the time to fill out this form. That's only because I really feel this is an unfair situation to the consumer. My wife and I paid a decent penny for our 2011 Toyota Camry. It is less than six years old and already has a major mechanical issue. I really hope Toyota considers some form of reimbursement for the consumer. I pray my words won't fall on deaf ears. Thanks.

Wed am, Nov. 12, 2014, I parked my 2011 Toyota Camry se 4cyl in an airport parking garage. Weather was 31 f. When I returned from my trip the next evening, I started the car, organized some things for a minute to allow car heater to warm the vehicle while I sat. I then proceeded to back out of the parking space. Temperature was in the 20s f. I noticed the car was sluggish so I pressed a bit more on the gas pedal, but the car failed to go faster. After slowly backing out far enough, I put the car in drive. Despite reaching 2500+ rpm, the car would not increase speed. The speedometer stayed at 0 (zero) mph. I put on my flashers, and pulled, very slowly, to the right side of the garage lane, so as not to impede vehicle traffic. I continued to rev engine for 1 to 2 minutes. Only after revving the engine multiple times did the car begin to slowly respond. This flaw is a significant concern and could endanger live(s). Imagine if I am at a stop sign, awaiting to make a left turn on to a busy roadway. If my 2011 Camry's fuel injector fails to respond as expected, thereby responding slowly to me pressing the gas pedal, then I envision the likelihood of being in a horrific side-impact collision. I will address this issue with the dealership tomorrow. Winter is just beginning, and cold starts are going to be much more common (likely in much colder temps). I don't believe modern vehicles, with electronic fuel injection, should have this safety issue, or require much warm-up time.

There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though I press the gas pedal gently, also on more than one occasion a loud thumping sound has been heard coming from the transmission as the car is slowing down and is in process of downshifting around 20mph.

Im really unhappy with this car its just 1 thing after another first had the noisy moon roof issue and finally got it fixed by bringing in the TSB so it could not be denied, now I have a noisy power steering pump that whine very loud but was told that its normal (what a crock). Currently my car is shifting hard on take off and decreasing speed to stop. Toyota has really gone down. I traded a 2000 Camry xle that was better than this newer model.

New brakes were put on my car on 11/23/13. A short time later, I was approaching a red light and began to slow down. Upon doing so the abs system kicked in and when I applied my foot to the breaks they would not work. As I approached the intersection, I made a sharp right 90 degree turn to avoid going through the red light as the vehicle would not stop and I would have been in a terrible accident. The road was not wet but it had rained earlier in the day and the road was dry. I returned vehicle to dealer and was told they could not repeat the situation and everything was okay. They told me that even if the road is dry once it rains, the road can still have particles on it that cause the abs to kick in. This continued to happen intermittently about once a month. In the past month, it has happened every few days. My son was driving the car in late Feb. And he went over a very small pile of leaves that would not warrant the abs to kick in. He too was almost involved in a wreck. Car went back to dealer but dealer can find what was wrong. The abs severely reacts when it should not be doing so. The abs is engaging when it should not be doing so. If one goes over a road that is barely wet or a small patch of drive leaves, as I did the other night, the abs kicks in and locks up the car. When I touch on the breaks lightly coming to a stop, there are no breaks and then they suddenly grab really hard. Breaks feel like air is in the line. This did not occur until they put new breaks in my car at 30,000 miles. In addition, the transmission is whining, shifting roughly and not shifting when it is supposed to. My vehicle has been at the dealership for over a week and they said they will be keeping it at least until this coming wed. When a Toyota field inspector will be coming to inspect the car.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, he depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral, shut off and restarted the engine. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 8200 and the current mileage was 8260. The VIN was not available. Kmj.

Every morning when the vehicle is first started up and both the engine and transmission are cold, vehicle exhibits a transmission flare between the first and second gear during normal driving behavior whilst the accelerator pedal is depressed - even if only slightly. During the incident, which lasts no more than five seconds, the engine "revs" significantly (up to 2500-3000 rpm from 1000) and the transmission appears to be in a "neutral" state, e. G. "slipping" between gears. The vehicle also jerks and shifts violently while downshifting when coasting occurs mainly at highway speeds, but does occur sometimes at neighborhood speeds. The former said issue only appears during the morning after the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time (I. E. Come home from work and leave next morning), and is unable to be duplicated at any other time. On the other hand, the latter said issue occurs nearly every time the vehicle is used. The vehicle has been brought to the local Toyota dealership where repair attempts have already been made, but have been unsuccessful. The vehicle will be brought back for service once again. It is important to note that these problems are very similar to earlier problems the 2007 Camry experienced (which is the same generation as the 2011 Camry) -- to which several tsbs were issued to correct those problems.

There is a transmission issue at low speeds, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. This problem is very consistent among other owners in forums I have reviewed. It needs to be addressed and fixed.

Transmission whines at low speeds, very annoying. It slips between 1st & 2nd gear. Down shifts rough. Something bumps around trunk when taking off & stopping. Dealer tells me that all this is normal. I will never buy another Toyota ever. My advise to others, don't buy 2011 Camry, you'll be sorry.

At low speed (15-39 mph), the transmission shift roughly. The car was either pulled back (1) by the engine or jumped (2,while my foot on the break pedal) during the down shift. The pulling back (1) gives the same effect as using engine breaking in the manual transmission. Based on the signs that I have seen on interstates, state laws (in some states) prohibit driver to use engine breaking. The jumping (2) was very bad. The car needed approximately 3-10 feet more to stop due to the unpredicable jumping behavior. Well 3-10 feet does not seem to be a lot but let say if you are 1 foot away from running over a living thing. . . . . . . . . . This problem have happened since I bought the car new and they still be a serious problem. I have been driven about 10-20 cars (including rentals) but I have never experienced the jumping (2, while my foot on the break pedal) until I bought this Camry. After reading the reviews online, this seems to be a common problem for this model. This problem needs immediate attentions.

Every time I release or push acceleration more than 50 miles car gets pulse. (example : generator move forward and backward every time piston goes up and down) I fell like engine will drop. Reproduce steps : drive car at about 60 miles/hr on good road so you can feel pulse. Now we want keep speed 60 miles so we will press pedal to maintain speed now as soon as you will remove pedal you will feel pulse. Now, you removed pedal so speed going down so as soon as you trying to maintain speed you will fell pulse again. Reproduce rate about 85%. I am having this problem since August 2011. I had put my car at Toyota dealer more than 5 times and they admit that they are not feeling this pulse. Than I put case to ncds for review. But Toyota reset my computer right before inspection so ncds person didn't test drive and refuse my case. At time of case, one technician from chicago admit this problem in some different direction like this pulse is normal(which is very scary). Its depend on where you driving (its easy to reproduce in hwy, I also feel in city to but they told me that its changing gear so it's normal) its depend on driver( I told him to drive and fix this issue if I am not good driver). Now this is very simple answer for Toyota to give you customer and reject case. Once they reset computer of my car they told me to wait till car computer learn driver pattern. I wait 2month , 1500 miles. I also ask them that how long ? how many miles ? but they told me that it's depend on driver. They also told me that if anything wring we will happy to help if anything wrong in engine/transmission. I also decide to go court but if they are going to inspect my car again then they will admit that nothing happened. So, please help me for this problem I spend 24000 dollar. I deserver better answer than this above crazy answer.

  accident description: on August 7, 2011, I got in my car to back out of the driveway. I stopped the car approximately 30 feet from a closed gate by stepping on the brake and shifted the vehicle into park. With the car stopped and in park, I opened my door and exited the vehicle, leaving the door open. I walked 25 feet from my car to the gate and opened it. When I turned to attend to the other side of the gate, I saw the car was overtaking me, going in reverse. I was struck by the driver's door and got trapped underneath. The vehicle continued across the street in reverse.

My vehicle at below 40 mph, mostly city driving, the car jerks with abrupt shifting, and sometimes harsh shifting. Also it feels like the car pauses a little when shifting at low speeds. The car takes off like it rushes rather than a smooth acceleration, though I press the gas pedal gently. This really bothers me during the rush hour because my both kids are in the back seat at that time. I have been to the Toyota dealer but they said they couldn't reproduce the problem. Some one please, please please help me with this. It really bothers me after spending lot on money on this car, I can't even drive it safe and its really dangerous driving around the city with my family thinking about what will happen at the next stop light.

Ever since I bought the car (4 cyl. , xle) a year ago: automatic transmission shifts sometimes slowly after a pause or unexpectedly and abruptly as it searches for gears, and it races intermittently, especially at start-up; it coasts a few inches after I put it into park, even on level ground. Power steering requires constant correction, even on level road surfaces. Cruise control is slow to respond to adjustments from lever on stem. Dealer's service dept. Claims, after 4 attempts to diagnose, that the car performs as designed, so my complaint will need to be with the design.

2011 Toyota Camry. Consumer states unintended shift into neutral the consumer stated she was able to pull over to the side of the road and the shift the gear back into drive.
