Greetings my people..

I have an issue with my 2012 Camry. I noticed yesterday that the R sign on the dashboard blinks when I engage the reverse gear and the vehicle jerks when the reverse gear is engaged as well.

I don’t experience that kick when I shift to Drive, it only occurs when Reverse is engaged.

What’s could be the issue please??

I can’t tell what is the cause. However, I suggest you scan the car, post codes and I’d tell you how to find solution to the problem. In the mean time, please, do not drive the car to prevent further damage to the car.

I once had the same issue.
I think the problem is from debris in the gear oil which have affected the pressure switch and other switches in the gear box.
Meet a specialist to drain the oil and wash it and change the oil.
The Ride will good to go

Thank you very much. I will give a try.

The last time I checked most car wipers are functioning from input gotten from BCM. If your BCM is bad, or your car wiring has been tampered with such that things work on their own, I suggest you visit a specialist Peugeot electrician to fix it. DIY can’t work here except you’re highly skilled and knowledgeable about your car electrical circuitry.


Thank you for this. I am very grateful

Your best bet is replacement, most transmission repairers may not give you warranty or guarantee on the job they’re doing.

Thank you

Check that the car tyres are properly aligned, the brakes are not binding.
Scan the car post the code we’ll give you advice on what to do.

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. I also noticed increase in fuel consumption. One of the ignition coil is cracked and black tape was used to cover it. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.
Thanks in anticipation
motor mount or ignition coil or spark plug

My mechanic suggested that I should change my back brakes, which I did. Now my brakes are worse. I'm told that the master brake is bad.
My car model is Toyota Avensis

use a camry 2004. Whenever I start it early in the morning or after leaving it for some hours, I hear this rattling noise that stops in 1 or 2 seconds after starting the car. If I start immediately after, it won't make the noise again. The mechanic said it is the top cylinder,I changed it and nothing has changed. The sound is still there. Please has this happened to anyone before and how did you rectify it? It seems some of these mechanics are just doing guess work. Please treat as urgent.

the valve in the fuel pump may be gone . most likely

when that valve goes and fuel is not available if parked for a long period of time is what the man is describing however he says after it is started then the problem disappears even when restarted a short while later . i can bet its the valve in the fuel pump

When Fuel Pressure Regulator (the valve you refer to) fails, the car experiences a multiple crank to build up pressure lost before it starts, what the complainant explains is the Variable valve timing system which manifest in a 1-2 seconds rattle in the engine after the car has been parked for a while and then started again.

An exhaust rubbing on a car body can cause vibration, a failing pump can cause vibration, a failed sparkplug can cause vibration, a failed coil can cause same, bad quality fuel, inadequate air intake can cause same, vacuum leaks can cause vibrations, a bad engine or transmission mount, and a few more things can cause vibrations
Stop this non-scientific approach towards solving to science and technology problems.

I drive a 2006 Toyota sienna, ok I began noticing black sprays of oil behind my rear hatch(butt).. took it for inspection mech said an oil is leaking.. mumu me haven't been guaging my ATF level.

We check and ATF was completely dried.. I topped two littlers of oando ATF and drove home that night. He said we needed to changed the oil seal..

Haven't had chance to go for change yet..

You have a bad venus. When the car is parked for hours and oil settles back into the sump, the noise come up when you start but if you keep the car running and let's say 30min you go back you don't hear the noise..
Trustingod777: 10:08am On Sep 06, 2022
Thank you I will look for professional scanner to scan it's because does not show any check engine

Oga you’re right, but the complainant drives a toyota and not a BMW. Toyota don’t have anything called VANOS in their car engines, they have Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i).

Pls help me resolve this. I don't know what is wrong with my tiny light camry, if it is left idling, it will be like that for a few minutes, then it goes off. It won't restart immediately until you give it a minute or so. Don't know what is really wrong. Pls help.
