2020 TOYOTA CAMRY Engine Problems

1. CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TAKE OFF. MAJOR DELAY IN ACCELERATION. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN CROSSING THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE IN CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM. 2. THE CAR STEREO SYSTEM RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE STEREO ALSO RANDOMLY LOSES SOUND. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN FOR THIS ALSO. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE.

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES MAINTAINING A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 TO 65 I KEEP SMELLING COOLANT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD WHEN I GET OUT OF MY CAR. ALSO MY ENGINE SOUNDS A LITTLE ROUGH FROM WHEN I BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN APRIL THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT THE ENGINE WAS BREAKING IN. TAKING MY CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW LET'S SEE WHAT THEY SAY THIS TIME.

ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER D243692 LARGE LETTERS UNDERNEATH NUMBER A25A. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE NUMBER 20TA04. DUE TO THE MEDICAL EMERGENCY CORONAVIRUS IN THE UNITED STATES I AM REQUESTING A LIST OF SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKS 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DEALER I CONTACTED REFUSE TO TELL ME IF MY ENGINE BLOCK NUMBER IS ONE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DEALER COULD ONLY PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO ME. I AM REQUESTING THIS INFORMATION UNDER US FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. THANK YOU,

DURING MULTIPLE EPISODES WHETHER THE CAR IS AT A STOP OR IN MOTION THERE IS A DELAY FROM WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO WHEN THE ENGINE RESPONDS AND REVS LEADING TO MORE POWER AND SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THERE IS NO MAJOR CHANGE IN SPEED AND REVS UNTIL SECONDS LATER WHEN THEN ENGINE THEN GOES FROM 1000RPMS TO 3000RPMS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND ALMOST LED TO AN ACCIDENT AS THERE WAS AN ONCOMING CAR THAT ALMOST HIT ME AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE TURN. ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS AN ACCELERATION DELAY FOR A SAFE MERGE.

OIL SMELL ON HARD ACCELERATION.

CAR SMELLS LIKE COOLANT WHEN EXITING AFTER DRIVING. CAN NOT FIND VISIBLE LEAK, BUT OVERFLOW RESERVOIR IS EMPTY AFTER 3000 MILES
