2019 Camry will continuously not start

[KimandMike]

Hello all! I bought a brand new 2019 Camry last May, and in June it would not start. I got it jumped and took it to dealership where they said there was nothing wrong with the battery. A couple of weeks later, the same thing happened, and this time the dealership replaced the battery. Again, a couple of weeks later it would not start. This time dealer said the replacement battery was bad, and replaced the battery again. A few days ago it again would not start and Toyota is saying the battery tests fine and there is nothing they can do. I do not know where to go from here...there is obviously a problem with a car not even a year and a half old not starting once a month. What should I do?

My 2020 camry died the first week I had it. The computer doesn't shut down and keeps talking to Toyota, your key fab,and your phone. No fix yet. 7 months for me. Terrible.

You have one or more of the following intermittent conditions: Problem with the wiring between the ignition and ECU. Problem with the ECU. Problem with ECU wiring to the starter solenoid. Problem with the starter solenoid. Problem with the starter. And the list goes on (I'm actually summarizing steps from the troubleshooting guide as I type). In the majority of cases, a profession-level full-function code reader can detect such issues. In addition, Toyota maintenance and troubleshooting guides have sections for issues of this type, with step-by-step guides, checks and tests for a service person to perform. I suggest you speak with a dealer service representative, not a second or third level car repair person. If you have been requesting service from a Toyota dealer service department, all they have to do is follow the troubleshooting guide and the issue can be corrected, usually in 1 visit. If the vehicle is still under warranty, the entire repair process would be covered under warranty at no cost to the vehicle owner. The bottom line is, this issue is not rocket science. Intermittent issues are harder to solve, but any competent Toyota service specialist can routinely determine cause and affect the necessary repair(s).
