Recent complaints
My Toyota Camry 2020 with approximately 104,000 miles developed a progressive transmission problem beginning in September 2026. When accelerating, the vehicle experiences a significant lag and struggles between first and second gear. The problem started intermittently about two months ago and has steadily worsened. In September 2026 I took the vehicle to a shop for an engine and transmission fluid service. I was told no problems were found. A few weeks later the hesitation and lag became severe. On one occasion the vehicle would not accelerate at all when I pressed the gas pedal. I had the vehicle diagnosed at a transmission specialty shop in Lodi, California, which confirmed an internal transmission failure. Because the vehicle is covered by an extended warranty (PRCO), I then took it to Toyota Town in Stockton, California. The dealership confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced and ordered a new unit. The transmission is currently on backorder with an estimated wait of approximately two months. The vehicle is completely undriveable. The dealership initially authorized only limited rental coverage under the warranty. This condition presents a serious safety risk. The sudden lag, hesitation, or complete loss of power while accelerating can occur without warning. On a freeway, highway, or in heavy traffic, this can leave the vehicle unable to maintain speed, merge, or move out of the path of other vehicles. Drivers behind may not have time to react, creating a high risk of rear-end collisions. The inability to accelerate or maintain control in an emergency situation further increases the danger of an accident. Once the transmission failed completely, the vehicle became stranded and could not be driven under its own power, exposing, me, the driver and any passengers to additional roadside hazards.
The "airbag malfunction" light keeps coming on and off warning that there's something wrong with the airbags or the system itself. It's actually for something they have recalls for but my VIN number doesn't show up for the recall. It says "SRS airbag system malfunction".
While fixing another problem, I pulled the codes from the ECM and found several P0087 (low fuel rail pressure). The problem was apparently intermittent and if the engine service light came on, it was transient and the light cleared. So neither my wife or I noticed an engine service light. I did some research and found that Denso found and reported a problem with the in tank fuel pump design to the NTSB in Feb. of 2020. We purchased the Camry in Dec. 2019 which meant we had the defective fuel pump. I ordered a new Denso fuel pump and install it and no new codes have appeared in the ECM log. Apparently Toyota has been slowly adding more years to the recall, but hasn't yet added the 2020 model year. This is a problem since a number of people have reported engine stalls due to the defective fuel pump. We live in the mountains, that might have been very dangerous especially if my wife suddenly lost power brakes and steering on a mountain road. Why hasn't a recall been ordered for this pump on all effected years?
My car sputters and dies while driving. It looses power when I push the gas to take my turn at a light or intersection. The emergency brake has come on multiple times with no one in front of me. These have all occurred multiple times since mid 2021
The transmission is premature wearing due to excessive heat causing pump to overheat
