2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid Transmission and drivetrain Problems

Then I was told Toyota was informed not to sell and I just bought mine. All I’m told is to wait. If engine line comes on pull over and tow. That’s great while I’m driving my family.”

“I bought this Camry and then my insurance notified me there was an open safety recall.

I purchased this car for my teen daughter to drive - what a mark on the safety of Toyotas name. …”

I applied hard braking to bring the vehicle under control. No collision occurred. The specific component or system that failed is UNKNOWN — I suspect the speed control, powertrain, or electrical throttle system, but this has not yet been diagnosed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. …”
