2018 Toyota Camry UNKNOWN OR OTHER

AC SYSTEM SMELLS LIKE MOLD. STARTED WHEN VEG ONLY HAD 5000 MILES

THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE THE LINES AND IT IS SLIGHTLY RAISED IN THE MIDDLE. I'VE NEVER OWN A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY A NEW CAR THAT YOU COULD VISIBLY SEE THE EXACT LINES WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I WOULDN'T BE CONCERNED, BUT I KNOW IF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON ANOTHER CAMRY NEAR ME.

BLINDSPOT NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA IN FOR SERVICE TODAY. I INFORMED THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I SENT THEM PICTURES OF THE BLIND SPOT COMING ON AT RANDOM TIME OR NOT COMING ON AT ALL. THE PHOTO ATTACHED WAS ME DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD AND IT COMING ON, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I EVEN HAVE A 15 SECOND VIDEO OF ME PASSING AN 18 WHEELER. AS I PASSED THIS VEHICLE ON MY RIGHT THE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE DEALER AGAIN TOLD ME IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO THEM THEN THEY CAN'T REPLACE THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 19,650 MILES.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW/LOCK/MIRROR CONTROL PANEL POPPED-OUT EASILY, WHEN WINDOW CONTROL UP WAS ACTIVATED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, SO I WASN'T DRIVING AND STARTLED/DISTRACTED BY IT (I.E., POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE). APPEARS TO BE A RETAINER CLIP ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO COULDN'T FIX IT, SO I SHIMMED THE CLIP, AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ISSUE, SINCE, THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE EASY TO EXTRACT, SHOULD THE NEED ARISE! NO SUCH ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL PANEL. UPLOADED IMAGES EXTRACTED FROM MOV VIDEO, SHOULD YOU WISH TO REVIEW IT, AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST VIA E-MAIL (I'D HAVE TO UPLOAD IT TO MY WEBSITE, BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE FILE).

THIS IS A SW BUG IN THE MAP NAVIGATION SETUP THAT IS DANGEROUS. THIS CAMRY HAS A FREEWAY MAP MODE SETUP WHERE THE SCREEN CAN BE SET FOR 50% MAP + 50% FREEWAY EXITS. THE MODE CAN ALSO BE SETUP FOR 100% MAP IF THAT IS PREFERRED. THIS SETTING CAN ONLY BE SET IN THE CONTEXT OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS THE 50-50 MAP MODE. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE SETTING ALWAY REVERTS BACK TO THE DEFAULT SETTING THROUGH TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. THE SETTING DOES NOT GET STORED IN NON-VOLATILE MEMORY. THE DRIVER MUST RESET THE MAP-MODE EVERY TIME, AND THEY MUST DO IT WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS DANGERIOUS!

WIND NOISE FROM THE SIDE WINDOWS WHEN DRIVING

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND AND SUNROOF BLEW OUT. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5:30AM. GLASS FLEW THROUGH THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND CAUSED MINOR CUTS ON DRIVER'S HEAD AND ARMS.

I OVERALL LOVE MY NEW CAMRY XSE EXCEPT FOR TWO THINGS: 1-THE FEEDBACK ON THE HANDS FREE PHONE IS SO BAD NO ONE WILL TALK TO ME HANDS FREE EXCEPT MY FAMILY. THERE IS A HORRIBLE ECHO THAT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE PERSON CALLING ME TO HEAR ME. THEY STATE ALL THEY CAN HEAR PRIMARILY IS THE ECHO OF THEIR OWN VOICE. WHEN AN ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM-WHICH IS MEANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING-THAT YOU NEVER USE IT, IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM ALMOST EVERYONE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. 2-ABOUT 1 OUT OF 20 TIMES I GET A CALL, IT COMES THROUGH WITH A VERY STRANGE RINGING SOUND THAT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I STOP THE CAR & TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING (I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN ATTACH A VIDEO HERE BUT I DO HAVE IT) AND I ALSO CANNOT ANSWER THE CALL AT ALL-IT WILL RING NONSTOP FOR OVER 30 MINUTES IF I DON'T PULL OVER AND STOP/RESTART MY CAR. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING CONSIDERING THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR, I DIDN'T EXCEPT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.

THIS IS THE SECOND WINDSHIELD I HAVE HAD SINCE BUYING MY CAR IN LATE MARCH 2018. EACH TIME THEY REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE WINDSHIELD IS SO THIN. AS I AM SITTING WAITING ON MY REPAIR. TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY'S ALSO COMES IN FOR THEIR 2ND WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS TO BE A SEVERE GLITCH IN THE MAKE OF THESE WINDSHIELDS AND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. PLEASE EVALUATE THIS IMMEDIATELY.

COLLISION DETECTION ENGAGES WHEN NO ONE CLOSE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED. OUR 2018 CAMRY ENGAGED THE COLLISION DETECTION AT ABOUT 65 MPH ON I-85 IN ATLANTA AND ABOUT WRECKED US. NO ONE WAS EVEN CLOSE TO THE FRONT THE VEHICLE OR STOPPING OR STOPPED AND IT LOCKED THE BRAKES UP SOLID FOR LIKE 5-10 SECONDS. THE VEHICLES BEHIND US ALMOST REAR ENDED US FROM IT ENGAGING WITHOUT WARNING. IT SCARED THE LIVING PISS OUT MY WIFE AND I. WE WONT EVEN DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE ANY MORE OR CLOSELY FOLLOW SOMEONE. THE VEHICLE NEEDS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN IT. I'M JUST REPORTING IT NOW BECAUSE I BEEN GIVEN THIS WEBSITE BY A LAWYER.

EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE IN DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH. [XXX] IS KNOWN FOR THIS AND DIDN'T EXPECT TOYOTA HAD THE SAME ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY ON MAY 15, 2018, MY DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE OF "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" AS WELL AS A WARNING LIGHT, A LIGHT DEPICTING TWO VEHICLES COLLIDING AND THE MESSAGE "VISIT YOUR DEALER". I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON 2015 MODEL TOYOTAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER, HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR 2018 TOYOTAS OR HAS A RECALL BEEN RELEASED FOR THIS ISSUE? THIS VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD, PURCHASING IT IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE RECALL FOR THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND NOW THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM HAS APPARENTLY MALFUNCTIONED. MY TOYOTA DEALER REFUSES TO ISSUE ME A LOANER VEHICLE SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TAKE OFF OF WORK TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, WHICH THEY HAVE REQUESTED I ALLOW AN HOUR AND A HALF TO CONDUCT. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY SO I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS A USED CAR COULD CREATE HOWEVER I AM CURRENTLY REGRETTING THE DECISION OF PURCHASING A TOYOTA AS IT WILL NOW HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE FOR ISSUES BEYOND MY DOING OR CONTROL BUT CONTINUES TO CREATE AN INCONVENIENCE TO ME FINANCIALLY AS IT REQUIRES ME TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS.

WATER AND DIRT LEAKING INTO ENGINE CABIN!

THE FENDER IN THE ENGINE BAY IS NOT COMPLETELY SEALED. WATER IS WELLING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS INTO THE ENGINE BAY THROUGH THE OPENING OF THE FENDER. THE TOP COVER OF FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS IN THE ENGINE BAY IS NOT SEALED EITHER. EVIDENT WATER IS WELLING THROUGH THERE, TOO. I'M NOT DRIVING ON ANY DIRTY ROAD. JUST REALLY COMMON HIGHWAY TO AND BACK FROM WORK, 20 MINUTES' DRIVE. YES IT RAINS, BUT NEVER CAUSE ANY PROBLEM ON THE ROAD. IT'S MAKING THE ENGINE BAY DIRTY. ALSO, IT COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE, OR SHORTCUT ANY WIRE. IT COULD BE NORMAL TO GET DIRTY, BUT THIS POOR DESIGN IS NO GOOD. THE FENDER SHOULD BE SEALED TO RESIST WATER. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED FENDER. WE HAVE A POST ON TOYOTA NATION FORUM. IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM TO ALL 8TH GENERATION CAMRY. ANYONE, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. IT HAS VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING. I'VE VISITED THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY JUST SAID 'IT'S NORMAL TO GET WATER IN FROM THE BOTTOM'. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BOTTOM. WE GOT NEWS, THAT IN CHINA, TOYOTA HAS ALREADY OFFERED A FREE PATCHWORK TO ALL 8TH GENERATION CAMRY, TO SEAL THE OPENINGS. THE 2018 CAMRY MODEL IS UNIVERSAL THE SAME, SAME DESIGN, SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE WE COULD GET THE SAME PATCHWORK. THEY HAVE TO FIX THEIR POOR DESIGN.

I LEASED A LOW END CAMRY 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM ABOUT 20 TIMES. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP USUALLY ON A SLIGHT UPGRADE THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE FROM THE 600 VALUE AT IDLE TO ABOUT 2200. THIS OCCURS IN A SPEED RANGE OF 0 TO 5 MPH. FORTUNATELY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED AND GENERALLY AM NOT CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I AM ABLE TO HOLD THE CAR WITH THE FOOT BRAKE BUT GENERALLY NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE TO ELIMINATE THE HIGH RPM AND WHEN RESTARTING ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERS 3 TIMES AND ALL IS "WELL" BASED ON THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. I SUSPECT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER BUT THAT FALLS ON DEAF EARS.

I WAS FOLLOWING THE CAR'S BUILT-IN NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND AS I GOT WITHIN ABOUT A MILE OF THE DESTINATION ADDRESS, IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DISPLAY DISAPPEARED. I USED MY SMART PHONE MAP TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT DISTRACTED, I BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD IF I HAD BEEN IN AN UNFAMILIAR AREA HAVING MY NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS AND MAP SUDDENLY DISAPPEAR

TAKATA RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR 8/20/2018, TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2018. AND MY CONCERN IS IF MY CAR IS ONE OF THE ENGINE PROBLEM AND OVERSIZED PISTOLS RECALL?

I CAN FIND MY TRIM CAR , AND TYPE BODY MY CAR
