2019 Toyota Camry Problems

The transmission is failing after about 65,000 miles (7 years from first use). It can be inspected upon request. My safety is at risk in that the transmission is steadily getting worse and could fail at any time or any speed. The transmission failure was diagnosed and confirmed by a local Toyota dealer. There are no warning lights. A high-pitched whine is heard while driving which gets higher with faster vehicle speed.

Transmission is failing in car. Has started whining, consistent with other complaints I have seen regarding the transmissions in these vehicles.

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.

At 170,000 miles, the 2019 Toyota Hybrid Camry LE has developed a consistent drive train lurch/stumble/shake around 20, 40 and 60 MPH, which is increasing in intensity and occurrence. This defect is quite startling and occurs regardless of efficiency, HVAC, cruise control, etc. settings. Examined twice by a Toyota dealer service department Toyota-trained licensed repair technician, no explanation or repair can be suggested. That is, I am expected to suffer this defect until left stranded.

My vehicle completely lost power and stalled on the freeway, requiring a tow. A Toyota dealership has diagnosed it with a total internal failure of the UA80 transmission and quoted me $9,000. This vehicle has been properly maintained, including a documented transmission fluid service at a Toyota facility in March of this year. A modern powertrain should not suffer a life-threatening failure at 130,000 miles. Because of this severe safety defect and my documented maintenance history, I am requesting a Corporate Goodwill Accommodation to cover or significantly cost-share this replacement.

While driving the vehicle on a street it shut off on it's own in the middle of the road. It was terrifying. Had it pulled to my house. Once I was able to get it towed it went to the Stockton CA Toyota Dealership and had it inspected with results of it needs a new transmission. I have not driven the vehicle since this happened, which is about 3 months now. It is financed through CAR MAX and I haven't had the vehicle a year. I have researched this and there are many having the same issues with this type of vehicle.

Transmission has gone bad 109k miles,took it to dealer they said Transmission is bad ,started with slippage in gears and clutch,gave me code for solenoids,and now is undriveable.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal humming sound coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that an unknown part inside the transmission had oxidized. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was advised that the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly and the hardware machine rotor for the braking system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that in June 2023, the transmission was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

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

Vehicle shut off while driving on highway during morning rush. Car shut off within seconds of flashing dashboard. I was in a dangerous situation with the possibility of creating a major highway accident, I was stuck on the highway with disappearing breakdown lane. Pulled code P26CB on OBD code reader at auto zone; P26CB7 pulled on Toyota diagnostic code reader= Engine coolant pump actuator stuck. Active tested water pump and pump. It working. Tested for power and ground at the pump and good. Need to replace electric water pump per Toyota. Diagnostic test $184.95 at Toyota. Toyota requesting $1,400.00 for repair not including diagnostic testing. Called Toyota dealership and Toyota and was told it doesn’t fall under warranty or goodwill that code P26CB isn’t the same as their code P26CB7. After the incident I researched Toyota Camry and this is a well documented issue that is being declined. My Toyota Camry was bought brand new and has 49,000 miles. I am traumatized and disappointed with the product and services I have received with this 2019 Toyota Camry.

The most definite sign is when you press the button and three doors lock, but one doesn't. Strange Noises: You may hear a buzzing, grinding, or clicking sound from inside the door when you try to use the power locks. This sound like a small motor inside the actuator struggling to work and causing the alarm not to armed the vehicle. Intermittent Operation: The lock might work one day and not the next, or it may be slow to respond. But is now happening everyday now.

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.

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 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

Drivers rear bumper just "fell off" bolts/ felt not staying in place. Resulted in bumper drag on ground and could have been a possible injury to fellow drivers. No warnings or messages appeard. A car beside me at the light pointed to me that the bumper just fell off. Luckily there was a Ford Dealer around the corner who zip tied the bumper on for me until I got home. The gentleman said in his 25 years in body work he has never seen this happen. He stated multiple bolts were missing under neath and didnt appear to be holding the bumper/felt on. Reported to my sales lady and showed pictures. She was to have dealership contact me but no one did. Paid $997 to have it replaced but the felt doesnt appear to still stay bolted to the rear bumper. The vehichle was inspected prior to purchase but no one ever returned my concern from the Dealership.

MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2019 (VEHICLE 1) WAS HIT BY THE VEHICLE COMING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND TRYING TO TAKE LEFT TURN AT FULL SPEED. THE CAR WAS BADLY HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT BENDER. THERE WAS IMMEDIATE OIL LEAK FROM THE ENGINE. THE SUSPENSION WAS BADLY BROKEN AND TWISTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AIR BAGS DID NOT GOT DEPLOYED IN MY CAR BUT WERE DEPLOYED IN THE TOYOTA RAV4 (VEHICLE 2). THE DRIVER 2 HAD BLOODIED NOSE FROM AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS IN VEHICLE 2 WERE ALSO DEPLOYED BUT THERE WAS NO ACTUAL PASSENGER.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that after exiting the vehicle, she noticed that the base of the driver's seat was fractured. The vehicle had not yet been taken to an independent mechanic or a local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.

The seat warmer is heated even when no indication on control panel that it is on. The seat stays hot and there is no way to turn it off.
