2018 Toyota Camry

MY STEERING HAS BECOME VERY STIFF. LIKE IT IS HESITATING WHEN I MAKE TURNS AS IF MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS LOW BUT IT IS ELECTRICAL. MY CAR ALSO STALLS WHEN I ACCELERATE THE GAS. MENTIONED IT TO DEALER WHEN FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE IN 2018 AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ENGINE THAT WAS IN IT. STEERING HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF, SLOWING DOWN, AND MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN OR LANE CHANGE. ENGINE HESITATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ISSUE CHECKED OUT.

I WAS DRIVING TO PICK UP MY WIFE AT WARD LOW STATION IN LONG BEACH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WARNING LIGHT COME ON INDICATE LOW BRAKE WARNING THAN I TRY TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND L CAN NOT STOP THE CAR. I HIT THE CURVE SIDE JUST STOP THE CAR. THERE'S A DAMAGE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER BUMPER. I CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY TO TOW MY CAR TO THE SHOP.

TRANSMISSION: WHEN ACCELERATING HARD, SUCH AS ON AN ON RAMP, MY SPEED ONLY INCREASES SLIGHTLY WHILE THE ENGINE REVS TO 5000+ RPMS. I LET OFF THE GAS & THEN IT SHIFTS AND SPEEDS UP. THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT ON HARD ACCELERATION UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS CONSISTENT AND I BELIEVE, A SAFETY HAZARD. CRUISE CONTROL: THIS SYSTEM HAS WHAT TOYOTA CALLS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY SLOWS THE CAR IF IT THINKS THE VEHICLE OR OBJECT AHEAD IS TOO CLOSE. IN REALITY IT SLOWS THE CAR DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND A CLEAN WINDSHIELD. IT HAS A WINDSHIELD CAMERA TO DETECT SUCH THINGS, SO I HAVE TO KEEP IT CLEAN. THIS IS A RECURRING THING. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA. THERE SHOULD BE A REQUIRED FIX FOR SUCH SAFETY PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2017,WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE BECAME NOTICEABLY LOUDER. INITIALLY WE THOUGHT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE WARNED UP. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN HIGH IDLE MODE FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS THOUGH THE THROTTLE IS STICKING. WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE, IF RESTARTED WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES THE RESPONDS THE SAME AS BEFORE VERY HIGH IDLING AND SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT HAS NO OIL GETTING TO THE ENGINE(VALVETRAIN). CAR TAKES SEVERAL MOMENTS TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND THE RPM'S DOES NOT MATCH THE ACCELERATION TIME. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES STICK WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO PICKUP ON POWER ITSELF WHILE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES LOSING POWER AGAIN. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY TO START CITY SPEED LIMITS AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE RPM'S INCREASE HOWEVER CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT DESIRED SPEED(DRAGS). ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS METAL RUNNING THROUGH IT AS WELL AS THE SOUNDS IT MAKES WHILE IDLING. TICKING.SHAKING,KNOCKING ALL AT ONCE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ENGINE NOISE AND THE WAY IT SHAKES BUT YOUR ATTACHMENT ONLY ALLOWS FOR 5MB AND THE VIDEO HAS MORE THAN 5MB. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE HOWEVER THE RESPONSE WAS ALWAYS WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND VEHICLE EITHER NEEDS A LIGHT ON OR NEEDS TO BE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE PROBLEM RIGHT THEN. THEY EVEN COMPARED IT TO OTHER CAMRY'S TO MAKE SURE THEY SAID BUT THE CAR WAS STILL DOING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHILE WE WERE THERE AND AS WE LEFT. THE VEHICLE IS SOUNDING FAR WORSE THAN IT WAS FROM NOVEMBER 2017- TO THIS CURRENT DAY AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DRIVING ANY BETTER AND IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSAFE. ALSO THE VIDEO I HAVE WILL NOT ATTACH TO YOUR FORMATS. IT'S ONLY ALLOWING PHOTOS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPM REVVED UP WITH NO FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF CLERMONT LOCATED AT 16851 FL-50, CLERMONT, FL 34711. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,288.

MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY SKIPS CONSTANTLY WHEN DRIVING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AT A CERTAIN SPEED, I MAY BE JUST TAKING OFF OR BEEN AT A CONSTANT SPEED FOR A WHILE AND IT SKIPS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF THE CONCERN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILES AND IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD.
