2019 Toyota Camry Power Train

The sealed transmission went completely out and we were on the side of a road in a driveway, so we had to try to cross the road on a hill. Fortunately we did not get hit. The vehicle is in another state as I was travelling for Christmas eve celebration with my family. The car is at a toyota dealership in Roanoke , Virginia. We did not get any warning until it completely lost all power and then the engine light came on. We had no idea anything was wrong with the transmission until it started making a loud noise after stopping at a grocery store and we started moving again. The car only has 81,00 miles and certainly should not have gone out that early. I do not have an extended warranty, so this is costing me a little over $9,000.00. This model does have a sealed transmission, so there's no way to check the fluid.

I purchased my Toyota Camry in 2020 with only 4995 miles on it from the Toyota dealership. It is now 2024 and I only have 69,000 miles on it and the transmission is bad. I took it Toyota and they revealed it is an inner transmission issue and I would need a completely new transmission. This is insane considering that Toyota makes money off of saying they have reliable cars. I have gotten maintenance on my car and mainly only drive it to and from work. There was no warning signs on my dashboard about this and I drive with my 3 year old son in it. I started to hear a winding noise in car when accelerating and occasionally some kick back. Now car is stuck at a dealership with no idea of when a new transmission will be placed because Toyota said it is on a nationwide back order. After doing some research I found that many other customers owning a 2019 Toyota are having the same problem with there transmissions clocking out between 65,000-85,000 miles. My safety was put at risk along with my child’s because there was not even a light on the dashboard that showed something was wrong with the car.

My 2019 Toyota Camry SE experienced a transmission failure due to slipping gears. The issue became apparent when the car hesitating during acceleration, with noticeable jerking and a lack of smooth shifting between gears. Despite routine maintenance, the transmission’s performance progressively worsened, with the slipping becoming more frequent and severe. Now i'm unable to drive my car anymore.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and suggested that the vehicle be towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who confirmed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Transmission failure

The issue with the 2019 Toyota Camry SE appears to be a malfunction of the vehicle's transmission system, specifically related to the 8-speed automatic transmission, which is known to have a recurring issue. Around one month ago, the vehicle began to produce a whining noise coming from the transmission, which progressively worsened over time. Despite the absence of warning lights or messages, the noise raised concerns regarding the transmission's performance. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a Toyota service station, where the transmission was serviced, but the issue remained unresolved. Upon inspection, the dealership confirmed the presence of the whining noise and noted in their service receipt that a new transmission would be required. This suggests a significant failure within the transmission system that was not addressed through the initial service. The 8-speed automatic transmission in these Camry models has been reported to have consistent problems, which should not have occurred at this mileage (158,000 miles) under normal conditions. At this point, it is reasonable to believe that this issue is tied to a known defect with the 8-speed automatic transmission and may require a recall for affected vehicles. The safety of the driver and others could be at risk if the transmission fails completely, especially if it leads to an unexpected loss of power or control over the vehicle. However, no formal inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives has been mentioned as of yet. In summary, the problem has not only been acknowledged by the Toyota service station, but also seems to be part of a wider, systemic issue with this model's transmission. As such, a recall should be considered, and further investigation into this known issue is warranted to prevent further safety risks.

Vehicle has a complete transmission failure at 67,000 miles. Purchased 10 of 2018 with 5 year/ 60k drive train warranty. Vehicle has been correctly maintained since purchased. No maintenance or fluid change required by manufacture. Car would hesitate/ buck and made strange noise from transmission. Took it to be inspected at our mechanical the next day . Shop pulled codes from the car and then referred us to a transmission shop. They reported the fluid was burned and transmission needed to be replaced. Vehicle is not drive able at this point. Purchase dealership said to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis, but it would not be covered as it is out of the drive train warranty by a year and 7000 miles. No TSB's or recalls from Toyota at this time. Transmission shop reported that Toyota has a problem with these 8 speed transmissions and they are on national back order. Vehicle has been out of service for 3 weeks with no ETA on the transmission assembly from Toyota as of today. Total repair estimate is over $6000.00 and rental has accrued over $1500.00 in fees as of today.

Transmission might have failed with less then 50,000 miles on car. Still waiting on full details of possible fix or next step.

Transmission slipping at 41k miles. Jumping/stuttering while accelerating from full stop.

2019 Toyota Camry serviced at the dealer every 5 k miles, at 105 k miles dealer recommended to change transmission fluid than transmission start to slip on the second gear few month later the do showing now 112 k miles. I don’t know what I have to do now

Transmission out after 85,000 miles. Just spent almost 4k to replace head gasket and now the transmission is out. Did regular scheduled maintenance on time and took really good care of my car. Many reports of this problem by many people.

Car completely stopped while I was driving on the highway. Multiple warning lights appeared and stated that they failed. Examples of error messages in the information system were LDA malfunction, secondary brake, collision malfunction and check engine light. Car cranks fine but when shifting to drive or reverse car wont drive. Transmission failed at around 80,000 mile

transmission failure at 84,000 miles,transmission was slipping when trying to shift between gears and vehicle was decelarating and engine was also reving high,I almost got rear ended by a semi truck because of this issue a few weeks later my vehicle now does not move when I put it in reverse or drive,vehicle will not move or accelarate anymore.

When driving my vehicle over 30 MPH my car would begin to slightly shake and upon taking my car to an auto repair shop he informed me that it was a transmission issue. I then took the car to Apex Transmission and was told that the transmission had to be replaced. I assume if I did not get the car repaired then eventually it would break down. I was given the choice of purchasing a used transmission or a new one from Toyota and I chose to replace it with a new one. There were no warning lights or messages displayed on the dash.

Transmission issue. Almost getting rear ended because the 8 speed transmission can’t find a gear to go in without almost tearing itself apart. Time after time, this transmission jerks, hesitates, lurches, and hunts for a gear to go into. I’m getting really scared that it’s going to cause an accident.

I am having issues with my transmission and the dealer is saying that is normal and the car is struggles to get up to speed

Transmission shifts extremely jerky. Sometimes it seems like it shifts too early or too late. I don’t feel like this transmission is acting like it should at all. The dealership says that it’s normal but I’ve never had a car drive this way

My Toyota Camry LE with the 8speed at times will jump in and out of gear, and it has really bad reacceleration lag. This lag in acceleration has at times almost caused accidents while merging onto the interstate and while pulling out into traffic.

My issue is with acceleration of the car from the start and sometimes driving at lower speeds. There's a significant lag when you step on the acceleration and then it just gets activated and car starts accelerating rapidly. It seems that the transmission can't keep up with the accelerator. Also there's a vibration coming from transmission between speeds of 40-50 mph, in general I want to say that it runs a bit rough.

Since day one of buying my 2019 Toyota Camry XSE, I’ve noticed a hesitation when taking off from a complete stop. When you press the gas, theirs a delay then a jerk.

I recently purchased a 2019 Camry LE with 18k miles, I’ve noticed many instances of poor acceleration, struggling to find gears, very jerky shifting when coasting and re accelerating. I was attempting to pass a vehicle on a 2-way highway on which I had more than enough time and distance to pass, but as I merged to pass the transmission felt like it didn’t know what gear to be in and I could not accelerate and I had to slam on my brakes and quickly jump back into my original lane to avoid being hit by a super duty pickup. Had a service advisor tell me it’s a common issue with these transmission and they pointed to a couple other models with the same issues only to then be told by someone else that it’s a “characteristic” of the transmission, this is a major safety concern. Under no circumstances should a problem that almost got me killed be called a “characteristic”, this is a serious issue that I wish I was told about when purchasing my car. Extremely disappointed, I’m too scared to drive this car because of a close call I had within 150 miles of my purchase. Something needs to be done, as I’ve noticed many other similar complaints that almost got other people hurt or killed.

There is always a huge delay when accelerating with this car which has to do something with the transmission. If you press your foot on the gas, it will jerk and delay then take off. If you have to quickly accelerate to avoid a crash, you are not going to be able to since the car keeps doing this. I had a car speed towards me and I needed to get out of the way, but this delayed my acceleration and jerked. Luckily the other car braked and my car moved away enough after the delay to avoid any crash. This needs to be fixed on the 2019 models.

Transmission is some times shifts slow and then fast acceleration when pulling in traffic it hesitate to go all most like you are going to be hit by another car

The 2019 Toyota camry having issues with the transmission. When accelerating from a complete stop, the transmission hesitate for a few seconds before it jolts forward when shifting gears. it also does this when traveling at a higher speed. When I slow down approaching a red at 30mph, the light will turn green and when I try accelerating it jerks pretty bad. Another thing I've experienced is the car shaking or rattling while drive early in the morning. always happens between 630-700am. Ive gone to Toyota and they said the car have to get used to me driving.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING UNDER PARTIAL AND FULL THROTTLE. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP TO TOO HIGH OF A GEAR IN THE ECONOMY MODE. *TR
