On [XXX], my 2019 Toyota Camry came to a complete stop while driving home from work. The abrupt stop of the vehicle impeded on my safety since I was stranded on the side of the road until a tow truck could provide assistance. The Camry stopped operating and could not start. A Pre-scan Vehicle Report provided by A&B Transmissions, an independent service center located in Suitland, Maryland determined the transmission failed due to Solenoid or sensor faults from electronical issues. Prior to the transmission issue, there were no warning signs of any potential problems or failures. It is very uncommon for a transmission to fail after just 5 years of purchase despite all scheduled maintenance having been performed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The transmission failed without any warning. It makes a whining sound and the car does not move. It expells a burning odor. I understand thay there is a wide class action lawsuit against Toyota for this issue. Apparently there are many other vehicles whose owners experienced the same issue. At this time, Toyota is not willing to do anything about this issue after speaking with a Toyota advocate representative.

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.

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.

When i purchased this vehicle during 2020 i noticed that the car runs very sluggish and the transmission would jerk a lot when slowing down and when speeding back up, ive been able to replicate this problem for the dealership and i took it to them and all they said they can do is reset the transmission and check the fluid levels. So for the past 4 years ive been driving it like that with no issues resolved. Until this year 2026, i took the car back to the dealership and i explained to them that i hear a whining sound coming from the transmission when its runs at 3k RPMS and they were able to replicate the noise and all they said is they cant do nothing since the transmission still runs even tho their is a clear sign that the transmission is giving up and the jerking and hesitation of the transmission is clear. i also have statement from the service manager claiming their is a whine sound.
