In owners’ own words

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the fuel system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

When I turn on the key, before ignition and the car is off for several hours, I hear a humming sound coming from the trunk area. I strongly believe it is coming out from the gas pump. I have expressed my concern to my Toyota dealer during my last two services. No feedback has been given to me
Fuel/Propulsion System Mar 17, 2020 NHTSA owner report
Often during acceleration, my car seems to sputter or misfire. When taking off there seems to be, as the only way I can describe it, an air bubble in the fuel line. Kinda like fuel isn't constantly being fed to the engine. There are gaps. While driving at a constant speed, this does not happen.

They are documented: NHTSA holds 102 owner complaints naming the fuel system on this model year (13% of everything owners filed about it), and 4 recalls are filed under the same heading. Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count, and a count says nothing about how many were sold.

When do fuel system problems show up on the 2018 Toyota Camry?

Owners who gave an odometer reading reported it at a median of 28,500 miles; half of them between 8,000 and 47,000. That is when reports cluster, not the life of a part.

What does NHTSA's "Fuel/Propulsion System" heading cover?

Fuel tanks, lines, pumps and injection — and on an EV, the propulsion battery and motors. Owners choose the heading when they file, so it says which area of the vehicle the complaint is about, not which part failed.
