1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2022

I had no problems with my 2015 Toyota Camry se that does not even have 90,000 miles on it, and then I started experiencing a shutter when driving between 25 and 50mph. It feels like you are driving over rumble sticks in the roadway, or an abnormal shaking. There is no warning light illuminated on my dashboard engine light. If I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the shutter/shaking would stop or if I pushed on the accelerator to go faster, it will come out of the shutter/shaking also. While I was getting an oil change at the Toyota dealership, I spoke with the Toyota customer service representative about the closed recall (t-sb-0312-17) for this issue on 2012-2014 Toyota Camry's while doing research on this issue and I was told that Toyota has no plans on doing another recall because they have fixed the problem and I would have to have the car fixed myself which could cost upwards of $3,000. 00 out of pocket. Why should a customer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have their car diagnosed for a known problem based on internet forums and other Toyota complaints. The engine light is not on, so a code may not even show up. I cannot afford to pay that, and Toyota should stand by their vehicles, stop giving customers the run around and do another recall as this is a big safety issue of faulty parts which can cause a major accident if the car loses power and stalls.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2020

My car started a having a vibration/shudder while being driven on the street and freeway from speeds of 25mph to 50mph. This happens every time while driving straight and on turns . I thought maybe it was the transmission but after I looked online to see if anyone else has had this issue I learned there are a lot of people with the same problem. I have the same exact symptoms as they do. Its seems to be the torque converter. I looked up the history of this torque problem and it goes back as far as 2011 for Toyota Camry. I need this fix by Toyota and Toyota should honor given that the issue was not fix from the previous year model.

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/19/2019

Good morning, I am emailing to ask about a problem I have been having with my 2015 Camry hybrid se. For over a year now, I have been hearing this frustrating clunking noise every time I go over a slight bump or even just when making a turn. The noise sounds like it is coming from the roof and at this point is unbearable. My car started having this problem a little after 100k miles. After talking with my friend who also is an avid Toyota Camry buyer, he explained experiencing the same issues with both his 2015 Camry, and most recently with his 2018 Camry. He said he was able to get both vehicle's roof issue fixed at no cost and that the clunking noise was eliminated. Is this a recall issue ? I have read multiple blogs with Camry drivers describing the same issue. I would like to get this problem addressed and fixed. It has got to be a manufacturer issue. I am also aware that my vehicle is over warranty. Initially, I thought this would be a minor fix but was shocked when my dealer told me the estimate to fix the problem was almost $3,000. How is that even fair? I would like to do what my friend did and get this issue addressed at no cost since this is not an issue that I caused. When returning to my dealer and explaining that my friend got this same issue fixed at $0 cost, they told me they cannot fix my car. Driving the vehicle has become unbearable as the �clunking noise� occurs constantly. I hope to figure out a way to get this issue addressed. I just can't afford to pay 3,000 to get this fixed and feel it is unjust to expect any 2015 model owner to do so. Especially, given the current times in the middle of a pandemic nonetheless. . I hope to hear from you guys soon. Best, wallead k.

The car accelerated itself.

13 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2018

The car clock has been running fast (4-5 minutes after six months) starting from the date purchased (may 2015). More critically, the clock started to sudden change the time after starting the car engine. The clock sudden change issues have happened three times recently (first one in September 2017, second one in January 2018, and third one in April 2018). Although it reflects on clock changing but it is not sure if the problem could be even more serious (like engine. . . . ). I contacted the Toyota dealer and Toyota customer service regarding the issues in January 2018 and April 2018. However, they acknowledged the problem but refused to take care of issues. Please help us to make the manufacturer to take up their responsibilities. Thanks.

Car started to lurch forward at speed of about 20 mph while driving straight down street - lasted a few seconds. 4th incident: car in motion on route 17west in NY state (3 lane highway with very busy holiday traffic) - driving straight at approximately 65 - 70 mph - in left hand passing lane. Car started to lurch very hard and then lose power - almost had accident trying to move over 2 lanes to shoulder. Car kept lurching forward very hard and then slowing down practically to a stand still - did this for approximately 15 minutes until we could get it off exit and into a gas station. Car was then towed to a Toyota dealership - they couldn't find any problems. Car is now sitting in our driveway and we will not drive it any further! innocent people could get killed because of this car. We have now reported this problem to 3 different Toyota dealerships and they cannot determine the problem after inspecting the car.

19 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2016

After driving the 2015 Camry le for approximately a year, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the a/c vents upon start up. I googled and found out a class action suit was filed in 2015 in CA for defective hvac system in 2012 Camrys because of mold and smelly odors coming out of a/c vents. It appears Toyota is still manufacturing Camrys with the same defective hvac part. I had my mechanic do a procedure to clean the mold out and purchased the charcoal air cabin filters. I am keeping records of each time I have the a/c service and filters replaced. I have had allergy tests performed and I am highly allergic to mold and mildew. I live in florida and have never had this issue with a/c in cars ever and I've been driving 40 years. Regarding the seats, they are extremely uncomfortable after driving for any extended period of time. I drive 3 to 4 hours a day for work mon-fri and I have had to purchase special gel cushions (costing $135) to make the seat tolerable. I have heard complaints from other Camry and Lexus owners of the uncomfortable seats, which could lead to health issues. I purchased the 2015 Camry 9/28/15 and the current mileage is approximately 38,000 miles.

20 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2016

After my 25,000 mile maintenance check I began noticing a foul odor upon entering the car. Oddly enough, this odor is most pronounced when the car has been sitting for a few hours. While the car is running and the fans are blowing, the smell reduces in strength. However, anytime the car is off, the cabin fills once again with this horrible foul odor. To describe the smell I would say that it's similar to a gym locker room mixed with garbage. This is extremely disappointing as my car is under 2 years old and it is solely used for commuting. Food is not consumed in this vehicle and only water is drank. The fact that the smell disappears when driving with the fans on leads me to believe that there is not a dead animal present in the chassis. This seems like a mechanical issue.

21 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2016

V6 engine stumbled upon accelleration in traffic. Was going less than 30 mph in heavy traffic, changed lanes to go faster but felt like engine had been turned off for 2 to 3 seconds, then it accellerated normally. Outside temp was in 80's, gas tank half full, no warning lights appeared. About 2 miles previous to this we were sitting idling in a construction zone with a/c on. No further episodes to date. Shortly after I bought the car I had a similar episode, but wasn't sure as it wasn't so noticible. Took car to dealer but no error codes present, will check farther this Friday when expert tech is there. Unknown which component caused this.
