Well, the exact thing happened as I thought it would. I took it in, saiid the burning smell was “normal” for a new vehicle which is complete BS considering it’s been driven 800 miles and I can pinpoint the strong odor between the battery, and engine. Claim to have not heard any noise from the back left side tire/area which I had stated. It doesn’t do it every time. Told me “there’s no codes, come get your car”. Told me I wasn’t used to the transmission in the car, although it stalled in the middle of the road and revved itself up without moving the vehicle and it was running fine when I got it. Didn’t mention anything to me about having to slightly release off the pedal for it to shift just another “you aren’t used to the transmission”. Didn’t get one answer whatsoever that was helpful.
First, I'm sorry that you are having issues with your new Camry. I hope that everything turns out okay. I'll try and work through some of my ideas/thoughts for the things that you are experiencing:
1) Strong smell of burning: As a few others have mentioned, this seems to be something that a lot of people experience within the first few thousand miles with their Camrys. Hopefully it will slowly go away as everything wears a bit.
2) Car pulling to the right: I have found that the current Camry has pretty light steering. That combined with the fact that 99% of roads are designed with a crown- meaning that it's higher in the middle and lower on the sides- designed that way so rainwater will flow to the sides and into the sewer drains- often causes cars to appear to be pulling to the right as they go down the road. It's more apparent with cars with every light steering- like the Camry.
If it seems a lot worse than other cars that you've driven in the past- on the same roads... it might be worth checking your car's alignment. It's possible that someone drove your car before you bought it and hit a big pothole- or something similar. You can ask your dealer to investigate it or you can take it to an independent shop to have the alignment checked. If they say that it's not to proper spec- take their report to the dealership and have them fix it.
3) Transmission: That 8-speed transmission is an acquired taste for some. It is programmed for maximum fuel efficiency first- and smoothness second. Your dealer is probably right about you just not being used to it yet. Over time, the transmission will learn how you drive and adjust a bit- but many have been a bit alarmed by how that transmission shifts as they get used to the car. With that said- your second statement about the car stalling- that's a bit more concerning. If the car did stall and the transmission did malfunction- that would have certainly threw an engine code that the dealership should have been able to scan for. Hopefully it wasn't something serious and the transmission continues to 'learn' how you drive and things will smooth out over time.
4) Air hissing by rear tire. The best way to investigate this is by checking the PSI of that rear tire- and then rechecking every few days to make sure that you are not losing any air. Toyota's TPMS is sometimes a bit too picky- so anything beyond a few PSI being lost would likely have illuminated the TPMS light on the dash. I can't imagine what else might be hissing by a back tire.
In my experience, Toyota dealers (really any dealership) sometimes have a hard time investigating an issue if it doesn't present itself during its time at the dealership. One way that you can perhaps help them understand and better identify the issue is if you were to perhaps use your cell phone to record any of the issues when they happen to you- not while driving, of course- but maybe if you could have a passenger hold the phone and record the conditions when they happen- that could go a long way to help you 1) prove that there is an issue and 2) help the technician identify what's happening and what might be going wrong.
Lastly, I'll say that there is a HUGE variance in terms of the quality of service departments at different Toyota dealerships. Some dealership service departments are absolutely awesome and really take care of their customers. Others will pull trick after trick to avoid doing warranty work. (Many hate doing warranty work because it's not very profitable for the dealership). There are five Toyota dealerships with 30 minutes of my house. I only will take my car to one of them. The one that I use always goes above and beyond to take care of their customers. Their sales department is honest and straightforward- and their service department works hard to ensure that the customers are happy. That's the way that it should be... but unfortunately dealers are independent- and Toyota is often powerless to try and force them to improve their customer service. It's often no better at any other brands. No local Honda dealership was willing to fix the pretty glaring defects in my 2021 Accord... which is what caused me to trade it in after less than a year. Luckily I was able to sell it for more than what I paid for it new.
Like I said- I hope that you can find solutions to the issues that you are having with your Camry. Camrys are pretty great cars in general. They aren't always perfect- but generally after you work out any initial issues- they are pretty reliable long-term. I hope that's the reality that you eventually are able to get to with your Camry.
Good Luck.
