NHTSA complaint #11366957, filed 2020-10, 80,000 miles“75,000 miles on my 2010 Toyota Camry: for the past few years on cold mornings, the car will reverse and proceed 100 yards to the stop sign. Then when I step on gas, car revs up but doesn't move. Dealer said new transmission needed. Quoted me 7,000$. Another shop said it was the trans computer and or solenoid. They replaced. Was fine for a few months... Now does the same. Huge safety issue. Services regularly.”
NHTSA complaint #11231554, filed 2019-07, 75,000 miles“Our Toyota Camry has been making extremely loud noises and knocking noises for over a year now. Keep getting told our Camry is not a recall but all the other toyotas that have this same problem have been serviced and fixed and recalled or a TSB bulletin has been issued.. Just not ours ? This is ridiculous. I will never buy another Toyota ever now.”
NHTSA complaint #10761764, filed 2015-09, 90,000 miles“My 2010 Toyota Camry rolls back while in drive on a less than 10% incline. It behaves like a stick shift except you can not control the roll with a clutch other than putting your left foot on the brake to keep it from rolling back. I complained to Toyota national and no one responded. The dealership tells me it's normal. Clearly it is not.”
NHTSA complaint #10310532, filed 2010-02, 400 miles“I bought a brand new 2010 Toyota Camry and when I was on my 30degrees inclined driveway with the engine running on drive and I took my legs from the accelerator and brakes when the car started to roll down the driveway as if it was on neutral and not on d. This is happening again and again but sometimes it does not happen. The date was 9/5/2010 not 9/5/2009.”
