I purchased my Toyota 2018 Camry se with 4 miles on it. Almost immediately I noticed that the car has major problems accelerating. While resuming driving ,from a stop sign or red light and merging on to a highway, when I press the gas pedal the car has a major delay in acceleration. It makes a loud revving noise like a sports car when I put my foot on the gas, and the car does not take off when pressing the gas pedal . It is a major delay . Its very slow, and you barely move while the car is making a tremendous and embarrassing amount of loud noise. In order to try and avoid being hit by oncoming traffic, I press the gas pedal to the floor, and at this time I don't know what will happen. Its totally random . I could take off out of sync with pressing the gas too quickly , or barely move at all. This is hazardous. I have complained to the service department twice at the Toyota dealership, that I purchased my car with no resolution. The dealership said both times, that they test drove my car and said nothing was wrong with the car. Please do a recall on this car for our own safety.

There was a recall on my 2007 Toyota Camry. In February 2016 Toyota took possession of my vehicle for 3-4 weeks to repair or rebuild the engine to comply with the recall requirements. I was provided a loaner car during that period. During the less than 2 month period between when my car was returned to me on 2/18/16 and April 10, 2016, I did not take my car to any repair shop nor did I touch the engine for any reason. Apparently Toyota did not properly repair the vehicle when the recall repairs were done. On 4/10/16, while I was driving on the new jersey turnpike, the engine self-destructed, there was a loud noise, smoke engulfed the engine and then it ceased running. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Toyota dealership for warranty repair. On 4/11/16, I called Toyota for warranty payment to be made to the dealership so the engine could be repaired or replaced, I was told that first I had to pay for the $5,800 work to be done and then Toyota would reimburse me once I showed that I had all my service receipts that I had properly maintained my vehicle. This was an outrageous position for Toyota to take, because the car was released to me after Toyota thoroughly worked on it for 3-4 weeks and inspected it before releasing the car to me on 2/18/16. What possible maintenance would I have done in under two (2) months. I am also a low income wage earner and to require me to fund $5,800 and wait for reimbursement was unduly burdensome. Couple with the fact that the Toyota of princeton informed me that I would not be given a complimentary loaner car during the repair period. The cost of alternative transportation and advancing $5,800 was impossible and a clever way for Toyota to avoid their financial responsibility under the warranty. Instead, I saw no alternative but to accept the offer of princeton Toyota to give me $2000 credit toward the price of a used car.

Sept. 16, 2013,the car made a loud noise and I pulled the car over to the shoulder of the road turned the car off to inspect the vehicle, I found nothing wrong, I contacted a wrecker and the closest Toyota dealership to have the car delivered for repairs. Sept. 17,I called them to find out what they found out about my car; I was informed by the service advisor that there is a hole in your block. I asked how could a car with only 56k mi. Throw a rod. He said they didn't know yet and would get back with me. Sept. 19, I provided the dealership with all of my service records. They contacted Toyota and called on sept. 20 they were going to remove the engine to look for the failure. They stated one of two things were the cause; the car was driven into a deep-water puddle allowing water intrusion into the engine or a component failure. I stated it wasn't even raining he day of the incident, his reply was then you have nothing to worry about. Sept. 23 they called to inform me the engine was removed, photos were taken and sent to Toyota for review. Toyota's stance was they were not going to replace the engine under warranty. Toyota claims that at sometime I allowed the oil level to get low, causing the engine to over heat and which lead to this failure. I stated that was utterly false, I routinely check the oil level in that car, it never requires top off oil in between oil changes. He apologized and said that is what Toyota is saying. I researched and found Toyota has experienced similar engine failures and they tend to push back honoring warranty claims. It is suspicious they did not remove the valve covers to check for probable causes in the head area since that has been the cause of these type engine failures. At this point, I have been advised to file this complaint with NHTSA; complaints with Toyota customer relations andthe owner of the dealership have also been filed.

Due to a defect in the design of a hose, a leak developed in this hose and almost all of the oil leaked out of the engine. No warning light went on. We noticed abnormal noises coming out of the engine and brought the car to our local mechanic. We spent $400 with them as they diagnosed and tried to fix the problem. Unfortunately after spending this money they are unable to get the car to start. It is very likely the car has suffered substantial engine damage and any future diagnosis and repairs could result in thousands of dollars or repairs. This defect has resulted in catastrophic failure to the engine of our car. Presently our car is inoperable and sitting in our parking lot. We are not in a position to spend money to fix a problem that is clearly due to bad design and inferior parts by Toyota. In doing extensive research on the internet, we found out this is a known defect with this oil hose. This is clearly the fault of Toyota and not us and many other Toyota customers. We contacted Toyota and they refused to do anything unless we paid to have the car towed to them and pay them to diagnose the problem. This is a major safety problem, having an engine fail on a highway at high speeds or locally could cause significant injury. In spite of our contact with Toyota, they are refusing to do the right thing and fix our car. Other Toyota owners are currently at risk as if their engine fails in transit significant injury or death can occur to a car when the engine fails.

I bought my Camry brand new and have always kept up with the regular maintenance scheduled. However, over the years I've had to have the charcoal canister replaced at least three times and valves replaced twice. On oct. 4th while driving on the freeway, with no forewarning, I heard a loud noise and followed by a plume of white/blue smoke. The engine immediately shut off and I was able to pull over on the shoulder in time to avoid and accident. The resulting total engine failure caused me to have to have the car towed. Now I'm discovering that this has been an ongoing problem with my kind of engine and it was quietly settled with those who have the 2000 year engines. The same problem existed in the 1999's and has been totally ignored. This is awful!.

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry with 62,000 miles that has had the oil changed every 3000 miles or less, and has been properly maintained. I was travlling at around 65 mph on a busy highway during a holiday weekend when without any warning I heard a loud noise. Fortunately I was able to get the vehicle off of the road and I discovered that there was oil everywhere. When a passerby stopped he showed me a hole in the engine block. When the car was towed to a Toyota dealer and examined, they observed that the engine had thrown the #4 rod. Since the car was 2,000 miles out of warranty, as a "good will" gesture Toyota agreed to replace the engine, but I was stuck with labor estimated at around $1,500. I have written to Toyota and asked them to pay for labor also, but they haven't made a final determination as of yet. The road I was travelling on less than 10 min before the incident occured (the PA turnpike) was hillly, curvey and crowded. If the engine had blown on that highway an accident would have ensued due to the large volume of traffic and absence of adequate shoulder space. I'm still waiting for shaffertoyota in cumberland, MD to repair my car. As far as I know they have the defective engine.
