What owners wrote

My wife's 2018 camry rolled away down our driveway while the shifter was in park. It's got 33k miles on it. On the way down the hill, it clearly engaged the parking pin because it drug the front wheels 10 or so feet before hitting my neighbors house. The car was running, I hopped out after putting it in park and all four doors unlocked.

Reported at 33,000 miles, June 2020 CrashInjury

The vehicle does a weird clocking noise when acceleration and as I break or go at a lower speed or higher speed the sound is less or more . This starts at a surten speed. Also when the car is on it does the noise like a clicking sounds ive read about the recalls on this models and im concern due to the same info the car are being called for recalls.
