Warnings problems of the 2019 Toyota Camry

At approximately 93,000 miles, my vehicle experienced a sudden transmission malfunction. About one week before the failure, intermittent warning messages appeared for emergency braking malfunction and forward collision warning malfunction. These warnings appeared and disappeared several times over multiple days. About three days before the major transmission issues began, the vehicle was taken to an authorized Toyota dealership in north brunswick, new jersey, for a routine oil change. At that time, the vehicle was operating normally, and no transmission-related issues were reported. 3 days later, the warning messages returned, and the check engine light came on. Around the same time, the vehicle began experiencing serious transmission problems, including delayed shifting, harsh gear changes, and rpm flare-ups without corresponding acceleration. These issues created a serious safety risk because the vehicle could hesitate or fail to accelerate properly when merging into traffic, turning at intersections, or attempting to avoid hazards. The unpredictable shifting and loss of power increased the risk of a collision. After the check engine light appeared, the vehicle was returned to the same Toyota dealership. The dealership performed diagnostic testing and identified internal transmission and transmission control system faults, including solenoid-related failures and torque converter clutch issues. The dealership determined that the transmission requires full replacement and provided a repair estimate of approximately $12,000. The vehicle has no known prior accident damage related to this issue. There are numerous consumer complaints involving similar transmission problems in 2018–2019 Toyota Camry vehicles equipped with the 8-speed automatic transmission. I am filing this complaint because this failure occurred at relatively low mileage for a Toyota vehicle and presents a significant safety concern due to unpredictable power delivery and loss of acceleration.

While driving, the vehicle experiences unintended braking and refusal to accelerate. Abs, traction control, pre-collision system, and secondary collision brake warnings illuminate. Toyota dealer diagnostics documented abs and brake system fault codes c1201 and c1a50. The vehicle also produces a loud whining/buzzing noise from the brake actuator area while stationary. Dealers have recommended transmission replacement despite active abs/pcs fault codes and safety system involvement. The condition temporarily resets after battery disconnect but returns. This presents a safety risk due to unintended braking and loss of vehicle control. When this happened I was in the street with my daughter in the back we could have got injured.

All warnings light are popping up mention malfunction on break and lda system comes and goes away.

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.

Secondary collision brake system malfunction.

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.

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.

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.

I wont even have a vehicle in front of me while driving and the automatic braking comes on it flashes red on the instrument panel and it starts emergency braking I dont feel this is very safe it happens every so often like this week it will do it but next week it doesnt do it.

I was driving yesterday (1/29/21) and I was going about 40mph I came up on the reset of another vehicle who's break lights were disabled and I almost did not break in time to avoid collision. This was the second time I've noticed my breaking assist not working. Back in October 2019 I noticed an issue with my air bags as well. They would beep and go off as though someone was sitting in the seats and there was no one there. Due to my own beliefs I assumed it was paranormal activity however I did make a complaint when I got my oil change in the following weeks. They told me to let them know if it continued and it may have done it once or twice since then but not often. I'm not sure if it is enough to report.
