2018 TOYOTA CAMRY Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Car stalled while driving and needed to be towed to dealership. Dealership confirmed that there was coolant intrusion into the engine that clogged the fuel injector causing the car to stall while driving. Dealership informed us that car will need a new engine and transmission because of the coolant intrusion. The car stalled while driving and could have led to an accident or loss of life depending on where the car stalled and when. This coolant intrusion has been confirmed by the dealership and shown to us via video they took. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and we called Toyota corp to have then review this as a safety issue. They informed us the call stalling was not a safety issue. UNKNOWN on confirmed symptoms prior.

While driving the car, the engine shut down in traffic, and the engine light came on . We took the vehicle in for a flow shut off valve issue (customer support program) and found out that the flow shut-off valve issue resulted in damage to the water pump. We were responsible for the replacement of the water pump, which the program did not cover.

I have a purge valve issue when filling my tank my check engine light comes I smell gas and the engine jerks I have take. It for repair 3 times and they have replaced it but still the same issue occurs when I fill my tank.

I had to take my vehicle to Toyota bc it failed to start. There was an error code that of coolant issue error code and this was reported to the dealership they said that wasn’t the issue and my wires were chewed however I see that there actually is a history of issues with that incident and I wonder if I was given incorrect diagnosis from dealership this costed thousands of dollars from my insurance company and me to fix. Since repair my vehicle has not been the same .

I keep getting error code P0304 which says its cylinder 4 misfire the engine starts shaking a bit and most of the warning lights in my dashboard turn on and it disables the parking brake , I took it to a shop and they took out the fuel injectors to visualy inspect them and moved injector 4 to a different cylinder but the same error keeps coming back cylinder 4 misfire , I keep having to spend money and still have the same issue. It only does it on a cold start .

The car first stalled ,then the it shut off ,and the car did not start. The car has almost half tank of gas. So I was doing My research on line. And saw 3 recalls and one of them was the fuel pump system for my 2018 camry LE.

There was a recall in 2022 for the fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced by a local dealership in North Charleston, South Carolina. In December, the engine light of my 2018 Toyota Camry came on. It was diagnosed that the fuel pump needs to be replaced. I have appointment scheduled for this Thursday, February 20 at the local dealership for them, too diagnose and replace.

multiple issues with radar sensors- disable parking assist, lane assist and rear traffic sensors due to constant malfunctioning - battery has been replaced twice within the past 6 months - vacuum pump for automatic break assist replaced APRIL 2024 - automatic brake assist failed while on vacation and car had to be driven without assisted breaks from New Orleans to Jackson MS for repair - car can only be driven in SPORT MODE otherwise there is concerning jerking and rough gear change and acceleration lag, this issue has been addressed since the date of purchase but no serious concerns expressed by maintenance professionals. Car has been having major issues now since approximately MID TO LATEJULY 2024 MORE ISSUES BEGAN - ROUGH, FLUXUATING IDLE while parked and while driving - BATTERY REPLACED, AIR FILTER REPLACED, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, O2 SENSORS (BOTH) REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, IDLE AIR CONTROL SENSOR REPLACED; ALL...

About a month ago my daughter left the toyota dealership in Bradenton fl. after an oil change. She drove several hundred feet, the car stalled and she couldn't start it. The mechanic crew had to push it back into the service area, after been there for 2 days they found no problem, Just last Monday [XXX] she filled the car up at a gas station, as she was leaving the car stalled again and she couldn't start it, the car was towed back to same dealership, they could find a problem after being there another 2 days. I believe it's a computer chip problem, which hasn't been resolved by Toyota, I don't want my daughter to have an accident and get hurt due to this problem, perhaps your agency can look into this toyota problem INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On hot days, fuel vapor escapes from the gas tank's filler pipe and condenses and pools inside the fuel access door. The area around the car smells of gas. Sometimes it runs down the side of the car and drips on the ground. This has ruined the paint. We can't put the car in the garage because of the smell, and we are concerned that in an accident there could be a fire. We don't know what part has failed. Toyota installed an upgraded gas cap, but leak is still happening. The safety risks are breathing of gas fumes in and around the car, and the increased risk of fire in an accident. We kept a detailed log of the conditions under which this happens, and shared the log and also video recordings with Freeman Toyota near us in Santa Rosa California. We left the car with them for two...

Turned on the car Drove about 30 seconds and car states that secondary pre collision emergency brake and it just stops on a busy street With no other signs of defect ever . My vehicle goes to the dealership constantly and is very well taken care of

I all of a sudden started smellinggas but could not find any leaking underneath the car, also my car started giving lower mileage. Called the extended warranty and submitted the car to Firestone auto care. They ran a fuel system inspection and found leak. They removed and replaced the the fuel line and fuel pump. They said the can was at risk of catching fire and this is unusual

The fuel door release mechanical system has not been working since the car was purchased. The fuel door release mechanical system has very flimsy parts. I believe that this model and year also had a recall on the fuel pump because of a flimsy part as well.

Since we bought the vehicle new in late 2018, in hot weather we sometimes see gas running down the side of the car below the filler pipe door, and a little puddle of gas on the rubber just inside the filler pipe door. We can't park the car in our garage because of the gas fumes, and we worry that in a collision, the underlying cause could make a fire more likely. We've had the car to the dealer service department and they can't find a cause. I know from a www search that other Camry owners have had the same problem. The dealership wants us to leave the car with them long enough for them to observe the problem, but we can't handle the financial risk of the service and the car rental while our car is at the garage being monitored for the problem. And of course it...

Car does not accelerate from stop at a traffic light intermittently. THis poses a risk/hazard as the car behind it closes on it and expects the car to move forward . The vehicle was recalled a year ago for a fuel pump that was supposed to cause the same issue. Its been replaced and the issue has shown up again and now cannot be reproduced by the manufacturer.

My vehicle is displaying a low break message and is telling me to park for safety. However, the vehicle is not movable from my garage.

The a25a-fks engine fails to idle properly and will stall at times due to a cylinder imbalance. ICS malfunction light comes on as well. This puts other people at risk because a vehicle stalling or malfunction of the Toyota Safety Sense system can lead to car accident. Vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics and couldn’t find the root of the problem. Was told to go to a Toyota Dealership. A Toyota dealership inspected the vehicle, done several tests, swapped computer modules and couldn’t find the cause. The dealership replaced fuel injectors, fuel pump and had done a cleaning on the intake and the vehicle still had the trouble code. 4K worth of work and the vehicle still persisted with the issue. What I first noticed from the car was an odd knocking noise when starting the car, followed by excessive white smoke at idle, parking sensors not working, the...

Fuel\propulsion system, There was no power given to the engine when I turned a corner with an exorbitant amount of time. There was a car at least 100 yards away. When I put my foot on the gas pedal there was no power. It felt like the car did not switch gears for the fuel pump or Pistons just were not working correctly. The car almost rear-ended me and caused a major accident. This has happened multiple times.

For the past few months I have experienced a sudden loss of power while driving on the freeway and/or while attempting to accelerate. The car will stall, lose power, the engine will rev but not propel the car. I took my vehicle to the dealership twice before they acknowledged that there was an active recall and kept my vehicle for 2 months before calling me and telling me my car was fixed and returning it to me. I drove the car for about a month before it started doing the exact same thing and suddenly losing power as I was driving on the freeway. I took it back to the dealership and was told that the recall part they fixed (that took 2 months) was for safety recall #21TA09 "Sudden loss of power braking assist" and that the Toyota 2018-19 fuel pump defect recall #20TA02 announced in January of 2020...

Blank spots in gas pedal

Since I brought this car at dealer shop June 1 2021 and I’m about a month went to repair vacuum pump which paid to the mechanic after that check engine light came out little by little start to have more problem until October 1st 2021 stop working doesn’t run no more couldn’t do nothing at all it does start but doesn’t run when the car is Lyft up the wheel kinda runs little bit but putting on D and wheel goes reverse and putting on R the wheel doesn’t run nothing at all.

We have owned this vehicle since new. Fuel leaks out of the fuel cap when the car is parked overnight. It doesn't matter if the Fuel tank is full or not. When I push the fuel door release button in the car I can hear fuel flowing back to the tank. The leak does not always happen. But it has been happening for at least 2 years. I discussed this with the Toyota dealer and they said it would be $140.00 an hour to look at it. I feel that the fuel pipe and fuel cap are both emission items and should be covered. I also feel this is a possible fire hazard if it starts to leak worse. I have noticed several other people posting this identical problem on line, so I am not imagining things. Its easy for you or Toyota to say take it too your dealer....

Auto stalls at lower speeds(10 to 30 mph) when accelerating from a stop. After slowing as when entering a parking lot or making a turn, and then attempting to accelerate it stalls temporarily, maybe half a minute or so then accelerates like mad. Danger of cars behind me expecting me to proceed and I am unable to do so. Have requested toyoto dealer to check and as this is infrequent he can not confirm or fix. Same problem has been fixed by Toyota on other 2018 Camry by recall. My car has not been recalled.

I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry XLE in May 2020. One week after purchase, the vehicle stalled minutes after putting gas. The Check Malfunction Indicator Lamp came on, and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle turned on again after approximately 30 minutes. Eight months later I received a recall notice regarding a fuel pump malfunction. Toyota replaced the low-pressure fuel pump in March 2021. In early November 2021, the same Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the car shut off. I restarted the vehicle and it turned back on. On November 30, 2021, I put gas in the vehicle, and after approximately 5 minutes of driving the Malfunction Indicator Lamp turned on and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle wouldn't turn back on until 20 minutes later. The vehicle was taken in for inspection, but no issues were found. The same Malfunction Indicator Lamp and vehicle stalling continue to occur.

My car started to have issues while driving, especially when I slow down. It wants to die while I’m driving or waiting for traffic so I can turn or entering roundabouts. I recently waited for traffic and found myself turning in front of a semi. I had plenty of time, but through my turn realized that if my car had died that semi would have hit me at 45 mph. There are 2 lights on, check engine and master warning light. I have tried to have the issue fixed twice already and it was better for about 20 miles and then I have the same issue. These issues seem identical to the ones as described in the recalls for the same year make and model of my vehicle, but my specific vin is not part of the recall. I am concerned it is also part of the same issue. (It...

TOYOTA needs to amend their vehicle specs. The actual mileage on the car after my 4.5 years of ownership was TOTALLY different than what was claimed. Upon purchase I was able to achieve 44 mpg, and when fueling completely the remaining distance on the display read about 400 miles. Now I can only achieve 22 mpg and when fueling vehicle completely it now reads 320 miles remaining. This is a LIE and must be admitted by Toyota that it is a grim underestimate. Driver habit has nothing to do with this, I am a very careful (almost slow) driver and the fact that mileage varies this much after a few years of ownership makes no sense. I am dreading the day that this will eventually read 15 mpg on the display. At that point I am definitely selling this car and looking to another brand like Lexus. It is truly...

In dealer 2 different dealers for 2 computer failures 2x. So called repaired. Car hits the brakes by itself there is no way to turn off the radar on the front of the car. You have to remember to turn it off everytime you drive it. Then the gas pedal and brakes failed. The tow truck guy said just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes to re-set the Ecu. Well he did and I had to retrain the car how to shift over several days. Good thing the failure occured at 30mph. I am selling this. I have owned Camry's since the 90's and im afraid to drive this and bought another car. Contact the next owner. Selling it as is.........

THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND THE VEHICLE TO STALL, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH DURING DRIVING. TOYOTA HAS IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS JANUARY 2020 AND NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING IN OCTOBER 2020, BUT AS OF TODAY (FEB 21, 2021), IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE STALLING PROBLEM, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE I AM DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY. I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON FEB 20, 2021, IT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY OR A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IT FIRST IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM.

1. ON ENTERING FREEWAY, CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR, & SEEMED TO LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY. THEN SEEMED TO ENGAGE, ACCELERATING. 2. ON FREEWAY, GAS PEDAL BECAME SPONGY, CAR COASTED FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET, THEN PEDAL ENGAGED, CAR ACCELERATED. OCCURRED THREE, 3, TIMES, DIFFERENT TRIPS. 3. ON TURNING RIGHT, ON CITY STREET, ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AS THO IT WOULD STALL. WORKED ITSELF OUT AND CONTINUED W/O FURTHER TROUBLE. 4. ON TWO OCCASIONS, ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY WHEN TURNING IT ON IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WEATHER WAS WARM, NOT A FACTOR. RAN SMOOTHLY AFTER A BLOCK. GAS PEDAL AGAIN FELT SPONGY WHILE CAR RAN ROUGH. DEALER HAS STATED THAT (1) "TRY USING NAME BRAND GAS" (TRIED; NO CHANGE), (2) FOR PROBS 1 & 2 ABOVE, "IT MUST BE THE NEW TRANSMISSION." NOW RECEIVED FUEL PUMP RECALL NOTICE, BUT TOYOTA HAS "NO REMEDY AVAILABLE"?! THIS IS UNSAFE - PEASE...

CAR KEEPS STALLING WHILE GETTING ON THE GAS AND SOMETIMES BETWEEN GEAR'S

RECALL #20V682 10/28/2020. WHAT HAPPENED TO RECALL #20V012 1/13/2020? TOYOTA AND THE NHTSA WERE BOTH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO 1/13/2020. I HAD READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND LOOKED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR MONTHS TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN AFFECTED. THEY CAN'T FIND A FIX IN 2 YEARS? I THINK THEY KNEW WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED. IT ALWAYS SEEMED A LITTLE OFF TO ME.

THIS RECALL IS LONG OVERDUE TO BE FIXED. "IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP WAS FIRST NOTED IN JANUARY 2020 FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. THERE IS STILL NO FIX TO THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. CONSIDER THIS AN ONLINE COMPLAINT. I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE TO FILE ONE. PUT SOME PRESSURE ON TOYOTA. HOW HARD CAN THIS BE TO REPLACE?

WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2018 CAMRY . HAVENT BEENCALLED FOR REPAIR AND MY CAR IS OVER TWO YEARS OLD. DOESNT SEEM TO BE A FAST REPAIR.

THE CAR STALLS WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT WHEN CHANGING LANES BECAUSE THERE IS A DELAY IN DEPARTURE . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES . I DROVE ANOTHER CAMRY SE BUT THE DELAY WASN'T PRESENT ... THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED SOMETIME EARLY WRONG WITH MY CAR

ON 9/29/18, I LEASED A TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID FROM SMITHTOWN TOYOTA. BEGINNING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR, ON MULTIPLE, RANDOM OCCASIONS GASOLINE LEAKED OUT OF MY GAS TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT TENDS TO BE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME - AFTER WORK, WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR >8 HOURS, WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM A WEEK VACATION, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD SMELL A POWERFUL ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH IS WHAT WOULD MAKE ME CHECK THE GAS TANK AREA. SEVERAL TIMES, I WITNESSED THE GASOLINE RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IN ALL CASES THERE WERE GASOLINE STAINS ON THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE GAS TANK. AND THE SIDE OF MY WHITE CAR HAS A PERMANENT YELLOW STREAK DOWN THE SIDE...

TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT A FUEL PUMP ISSUE WITH THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY FWD AND HAS NOT ISSUED SENT PROPER NOTIFICATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO REQUIRE TOYOTA TO ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL WITH EXPEDITED SOLUTION. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V682

VEHICLE STALL WHILE ON THE 75 FREEEWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 70 MPH. NO BREAK LIGHTS APPAREAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP IN COBB COUNTY GEORGIA BUT NOTHING IS BEEN DONE. I THINK IT EITHER THE PISTOL OR THE FUEL PUMP. TOYOTA CASE # 2009280896 & TOYOTA CASE #2 -2009281300.

THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL MISFIRES WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND THE CAR SOMETIMES GOES INTO LIKE AN IDLE MODE. THE DASHBOARD STATES 27 MPG, BUT I'VE BEEN TRACKING MILEAGE ON A PAPER LOG, AND THE VEHICLE IS REALLY ONLY RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY 19 MPG. I LOOKED TO IT TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, AND AFTER LOOKING UP ACTIVE RECALLS, REALIZED THAT IT WAS SYMPTOMS OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA; A MANUFACTURER'S DEALER, AND THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

WHEN I START MY CAR BY PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR CAN'T START AND SAID IGNITION IS NOT READY AND MANY ERROR CODES SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 8 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE CAR CAN START AND TODAY IT CAN'T START AT ALL, I WENT TO CHECK FOR THE CAR CATTERY AND IT IS FINE, AND WE CHANGED OUR KEY FOB BATTERY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, SOME WEBSITE SAID IT IS FUEL PUMP ISSUE, AND I SEE SOME 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS ON FUEL PUMP RECALLL BUT WHEN I INPUT MY VIN, IT SAID IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL, SO I AM VERY WORRIED THAT ONE DAY I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITHOUT NOTICE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, PLEASE HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BEFORE I START.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 1 MONTH AGO. IT HAS STALLED ON THE FREEWAY TWICE. I AM AT 10K MILES. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE "BAD" FUEL PUMP WITH ANOTHER IDENTICAL PUMP! THOSE CARS CONSIDERED PART OF THE KNOWN RECALL GET A DIFFERENT PUMP. SO I AM TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT MY OWN RISK.

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL REPORTED TO THE DEALER DURING REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS. 1. STARTED THE DAY I DROVE IT NEW OFF THE LOT - CLOCK RADIO WAS GAINING 1 MINUTE EVERY WEEK, DEALER FLASHED SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES ON MULTIPLE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS BEST IT HAS GOTTEN DOWN TO IS GAINING 1 MINUTE A MONTH. 2.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LEADING TO A CRASH. MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED UNDER TOYOTA'S FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY FUEL PRESSURE GOES TO NEAR 0 PSI WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA TECHNICIANS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT DUE TO HAVING TO DRIVE SO LONG AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR ME. I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER IF TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR, THE PART WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND WILL LIKELY TO HAVE...

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS BAD. BAD IDLE, WEAK ENGINE, JUST THE CAR IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. I USED THE SCANNER TO SEE THE CODE AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE . P0171 P0505 P117B P0441 P0455 . FUEL/AIR MIXTURE IS LEAN . AND I HEAR THE FUEL PUMP MAKING THAT NOISE THAT INDICATES A BAD FUEL PUMP. IT'S WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN I HEAR IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IF I TURN THE KEY ON IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN I PUT IT ON P IT REVS AND RPM GOES UP AND THEN COMES DOWN, UP AGAIN DOWN AGAIN ... WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE AND RPM KEEPS SHAKING. *TR

IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHILE IN FOR SERVICE AND THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY FUEL PUMP BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL MY CAR IS ACTUALLY "RECALLED" BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCES OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. *TR
