2019 Toyota Camry Problems

The transmission 3and 4 gear failed.... We were forced to replace the entire transmission at 6 years and 80k miles.... Toyota knew there was problems with this 8 speed transmission, but the refused to help me because the warranty was 6 years 60k miles..... There has been numerous complaints for other Toyota owners with this same problem.... I understand there is a class action lawsuit pending right now against Toyota... I want to be included in that lawsuit for compensation...

The 8-speed automatic transmission (UB80E) in this 2019 Toyota Camry SE loses Drive and Reverse once the transmission fluid warms up. When warm, the engine free-revs and the vehicle will not move in Drive or Reverse. When cold, it moves normally. There was no check engine light and no diagnostic trouble codes. The transmission fluid was found burnt. An independent transmission shop, Guaranteed Automotive & Transmission in [XXX], confirmed in writing that the transmission has an internal failure and quoted $8,552.13 for replacement. The failure began within days after the owner took delivery on XXX. The vehicle is now undrivable once warm. This loss of motive power can leave the vehicle stranded in traffic and creates a safety risk. This matches the known defect pattern in Toyota 8-speed transmissions, in which excessive heat in the torque converter burns the fluid and damages the clutch, described in Toyota Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0008-21 and in current federal class actions naming the 2018-2024 Camry. The vehicle was purchased at auction through RideSafely ([XXX]). I ask NHTSA to investigate UB80E transmission failures in 2018-2024 Camrys. The transmission is available for inspection upon request.

The car suddenly report Collision and Pre- Collision problems. Suddenly didn’t want to turn on. I start to look around the problem. Probable cause, the fuel pump is death. I learn thet certain Camry’s 2019 where in this list of recalls by this same problem. I never received a message recall from toyota in my address or any report in my version. Want to make sure my problem is related to this recall. Thanks in advance.

My check engine and ICS sensor lights came on. My diagnostic shows a failing fuel pump exactly as recall 20TA02. My car is not on the recall list but is presenting the same issue. I was driving on the road when this occurred and my car started stalling and jerking on the road. I had to quickly and safely exit the road and go back home.

I own a 2019 Toyota Camry SE, 4-door automatic transmission, with approximately 59,500 miles. On October 20, 2026, while driving on a roadway with multiple traffic lights, I stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, I pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle made a loud noise but would barely move and accelerated very slowly. At the same time, I noticed a strong oil smell inside the vehicle. There were no warning lights or messages displayed before the failure. Because the vehicle was unable to accelerate normally when traffic began moving, my safety and the safety of other motorists were put at risk. The driver behind me expected my vehicle to move when the light turned green and nearly collided with the rear of my vehicle when it failed to accelerate. The sudden loss of power created the risk of a rear-end collision and prevented me from maintaining the normal flow of traffic through the intersection. I was able to pull the vehicle to the side with the help of other people pushing the car of the road. I shut off the car and attempt to restart it several times. The vehicle did not restart. The oil odor remained noticeable during the incident. The vehicle was subsequently taken to Athens Toyota for inspection. After diagnosing the vehicle, the dealership technician determined that the cause of the problem was a sudden transmission failure. The sudden transmission failure resulted in a loss of vehicle propulsion and created a significant safety hazard while driving in traffic. The transmission has not yet been repaired or replaced. Answers: 1) Transmission failure. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2) The vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate normally while entering an intersection when the traffic light turned green, creating a risk of a rear-end collision and endangering myself and other motorists. 3) Yes. By Athens Toyota 4) Same As (3) 5) No, warning lights, messages before failure. The symptoms first appeared on Oct20.

The engine overheated due to a failed coolant pump at approximately 47,000 miles. Following diagnostic testing, the Toyota dealership retrieved diagnostic code P26CB71 and confirmed a cooling system fault. The repair consisted of replacing the coolant pump and thermostat.

My 2019 Toyota Camry is experiencing repeated door lock actuator failures that I believe create a serious safety hazard. The affected component is the door lock actuator, which controls the electronic locking and unlocking of the door, and the failed components are available for inspection upon request. The problem began with intermittent failures where a door would not lock or unlock from the inside, outside, or remote key fob. The most serious incident involved my driver-side door. After the vehicle went into motion, the doors automatically locked, and I was unable to unlock or open the driver-side door from inside. When I reached my destination, I still could not open the driver’s door and had to crawl across the vehicle and exit through the passenger door. This creates a significant risk in a crash, fire, vehicle submersion, medical emergency, or other situation requiring immediate evacuation because an occupant could be trapped or unable to use the driver’s door as an emergency exit. The problem has now occurred on multiple doors, increasing the potential for fewer usable exits during an emergency. The issue has not been formally confirmed by a dealer because repair facilities wanted to charge hundreds of dollars per door to replace the actuator. I personally replaced the actuator on one affected door, and the door immediately returned to normal operation, confirming the actuator was the cause. Two additional doors have since developed the same symptoms. There were no warning lights or messages; the warning signs were intermittent failure to lock or unlock. The vehicle has not been inspected by Toyota, police, or insurance representatives. I am aware that similar door actuator failures have been reported by other Toyota owners and that a proposed federal class action has alleged premature door lock actuator failures involving Toyota Camry models, including 2012–2024.

The power panoramic sunroof is malfunctioning. The sunroof intermittently fails to open or close properly and may become stuck in the tilted/open position. The motor makes clicking/grinding noises, and the automatic open/close function does not consistently work. Multiple attempts with the switch are sometimes required, and the sunroof has become difficult or impossible to close. This creates a safety concern because the sunroof may remain open and cannot reliably be closed.

Component/System failed: The electronic control module (ECM) and related wiring were compromised by a dealer-installed Lojack anti-theft system. The device was spliced into wiring near the airbag system and ECM, causing repeated faults. The component remains in the vehicle and is available for inspection. Safety risks: 1. Wiring near airbags may interfere with deployment. 2. ECM faults risk stalling, loss of power, or emissions failure. 3. Hidden wiring increases short-circuit risk, especially near coolant areas. 4. These conditions place driver and passenger safety at risk. Problem confirmation & inspections: The issue has been reproduced in multiple dealer visits. One Toyota dealer identified the improper Lojack installation as the likely root cause. Service records are available. Warning lamps: Yes. Check engine lights and warning messages appeared within months of purchase and continue intermittently. Summary: The car was sold as a Toyota Gold Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, advertised as thoroughly inspected and protected. In reality, it contained an undisclosed modification that created hidden defects, repeated ECM errors, and safety concerns. Concern: The ECM is covered by the 8-year/80,000-mile federal emissions warranty and the 7-year/100,000-mile Gold CPO warranty. Yet Toyota denied my arbitration claim as “ineligible.” If such cases are refused, it means dealers can install aftermarket systems, charge buyers, and avoid accountability. In that situation, the Toyota Gold CPO program becomes meaningless—a consumer deception rather than protection. Request: I respectfully ask NHTSA to investigate whether dealer-installed systems like Lojack pose systemic safety risks and whether Toyota’s warranty and arbitration processes are adequately protecting consumers.

When driving the car, the power steering system lost functionality. It can still be driven with many efforts and extra forces. The dealer checked it and confirmed that it was the power steering malfunction.

On [XXX], I began experiencing trouble wiht my vehicle; speeding up, slowing down, turning, all of my safety display lights began to flash, and the display was showing several different malfunctions, advising me to visit my dealer. Prior to [XXX], there were not any warning lamps, messages, nor symptoms that presented suspicion of safety or failure. Display warnings included: - pre collision system malfunction - parking brake malfunction - brake hold malfunction - check engine - secondary collision brake system malfunction - ICS malfunction - LDA malfunction It is available for inspection at: [XXX] From all perspectives, this vehicle is at extremely high safety risk to the driver, passenger, other drivers, and pedestrians for obvious reasons. Being; trouble speeding up, slowing down, turning. Essentially, I had little to no control of the vehicle. The problem has been confirmed and inspected by the parts and inspection team at Toyota dealership. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I believe the windshield is defective. I have had multiple chips from small debris but it leaves a surprisingly large crack. These were from interstate driving. I had four different glass crack claims in the last two years. These cracks are deep and concerning that they could penetrate through the windshield.

My 2019 Toyota Camry LE has just started about 2 weeks ago. My windshield wipers go on by itself. I have seen a recall on this exact point but now can't find it now. A short somewhere.

The vehicle is experiencing multiple active safety system failures, severely impacting driver control and passenger protection. The most critical issue is a persistent SRS airbag malfunction warning, along with the system failing to detect that the seatbelt is buckled, even when properly latched. This disables key safety systems such as airbags and seatbelt pretensioners. The vehicle also suffers from delayed or weak braking response, despite having adequate brake pad wear. This is especially dangerous in stop-and-go traffic or emergency braking scenarios. In addition, the adaptive cruise control system intermittently disengages or fails to maintain distance, and the brake hold feature does not reliably hold the vehicle when stopped, causing rollback or unintended movement. These issues are consistent with known failure conditions already documented in the following recalls: – NHTSA Recall 21V-890 – Brake booster vacuum pump failure – NHTSA Recall 19V567000 – Occupant Classification System calibration error However, Toyota has refused to acknowledge these defects in this case because the vehicle does not fall under the original recall VIN ranges. This creates a serious safety concern, as the same defective behavior exists outside the recalled population, and is being left unaddressed. This not only places me at risk of airbag and braking failure, but puts other drivers and pedestrians at great danger due to the potential for system failure during high-risk moments such as highway driving, stoplight braking, or crash avoidance maneuvers. A broader investigation into the root cause and expansion of the affected VIN scope is urgently needed before serious injury or loss of life occurs

Insurance claim never received the check for repairs. Vaughn Toyota horrible.Seat Belt broke,did not want to nor be of service for policy.No salesman with like license,but I.No inspection on car,just drove.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the exterior door handles had detached within 3 years. The local dealer was contacted, and the vehicle was scheduled to be repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,057.

The dealership wanted to charge me $300 to replace the handle for a fourth time, but they refuse to look at the internal sticking latch defect mentioned in Toyota TSB T-T2-0323-19. I could not safely drive a car with a broken door while waiting for a approval process, so I am having a local mechanic fix it. / want to submit my receipt to this case file for a corporate reimbursement check.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving out of the driveway, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The contact stated that the bearings in the strut were on the top, causing the front wheels to lower to the ground. The contact heard a very loud clank, and the struts separated from the vehicle at the same time while reversing out of the driveway.

Front Right tire strut broke off from where it attaches to the body. Found when lifting car for oil change and looked corroded. If this broke on the highway it could be deadly. Car was towed to a repair shop where they replaced that and the front left strut which they say also showed corrosion. No other parties inspected this. No warning messages or symptoms were present before the failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Energy Saver A/S, Tire Size: 215/55/R17, DOT Number: 1653F. The contact stated while his wife was driving 70 MPH with him in the passenger’s site seat, the driver’s side rear tire experienced a blowout and the vehicle skidded. The contact's wife was able to pull to the side of the road. The contact stated that Roadside Assistance replaced the tire with the spare tire. The vehicle was then towed to the Toyota dealer, where the contact was informed that the rim was damaged. The dealer informed the contact that both the rim and the rear driver's side tire needed to be replaced. The rim and tire were replaced under Road Hazard insurance. The tire was a replacement tire. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 30,971. The tire failure mileage was approximately 2,166.

It has a big bubble on the sidewall of the tire. I’ve had nothing but problems out of this namebrand tire they’re constantly leaking or getting bubbles. Tire size is 23545R 18

I have a code on my car that states " malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle or automatic transmission has been detected". The car stalled while crossing Hwy 231 in Pike County, Alabama and left me powerless in oncoming traffic that was moving at 80+ miles per hour. It finally grabbed some power to let me finish crossing but it was a very close call. I had to have the tires replaced, since that time the tire pressure sensors no longer work. Which to me is unbelievable. The cost for that is $360.00 or probably more from the dealer.

ALL FLASHERS STOPPED WORKING IN VEHICLE INCLUDING HAZARD AT 39,000 MILES BUT MAKES THE NOISE AS IF YOUR SIGNALS ARE ON. CHECKED FUSES AND IT IS NOT A FUSE SO IT MUST BE FAULTY EQUIPMENT. THE HEATED MIRRORS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE DAY 1, I THOUGHT THE CAR DID NOT COME WITH THEM UNTIL I SAW THE FUSE WHEN CHECKING THE SIGNAL LIGHTS.

AT NIGHT,ESPECIALLY ON A VERY DARK ROAD, MY HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE LOW BEAM MODE, SEVERELY RESTRICT MY VISION. I CAN ONLY VIEW THE ROAD BY LOOKING THROUGH THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE VIEW THROUGH THE UPPER PART IS TOTALLY DARK AS IF OBSTRUCTED BY AN OBJECT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT PLACES MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED BY OTHERS ONLINE AND I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE FACT THAT NHTSA HAS NOT INFORMED ME OF THIS PROBLEM NOR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION TO CORRECT IT.
