2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2025

The panoramic sunroof on my 2020 Toyota Camry xse failed to close on two separate occasions. The most recent incident occurred about three months ago. After opening the sunroof, the glass panel would not close, leaving the vehicle fully exposed during heavy rain. I had to cover the opening with plastic and tape while standing in the rain, which caused water to enter the vehicle and led to illness from exposure. This failure poses safety risks, including: driver distraction if the failure occurs while driving. Possible water damage to electrical components, potentially affecting vehicle operation. Reduced visibility in heavy rain. Security risks if the vehicle cannot be secured. Online research and discussions with other owners revealed that this problem appears to be relatively common with Toyota Camry models equipped with a panoramic roof. My initial repair estimate was approximately $12,000, which is unreasonable given the vehicle’s value. I ultimately had the sunroof permanently sealed shut at my own expense. I have video evidence and documentation from both incidents, including an earlier occurrence on August 29, 2020, which was reported to a Toyota dealer but dismissed at the time. I believe this should be investigated as a potential recall.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2021

Wiper speed on high is to slow to see in moderate rain. Zero visibility, make for a very dangerous situation.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2021

I was driving down the road and heard a loud explosion. It sounded like it came from the moonroof. I opened the sunshade and saw that the entire front section of the panaramic moonroof had exploded for no apparent reason. 48°f, overcast, no bridges, no trees, no vehicles in front of me, no flying debris. Car is 6 months old and has 6500 miles on it. I went to the nearest auto store and bought duct tape to secure the remaining glass and then drove to the nearest Toyota dealer.

5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2020

I was driving down the interstate when I heard a loud gunshot sound and all the sudden glass rained down on me and into my car. My sunroof exploded out of nowhere. This could have caused me to wreck because I shut my eyes and swerved. Also, thank goodness my daughter wasn't in the back seat or she could have been seriously injured.

6 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2019

The sun visor on the 2020 Camry xle is not deep enough and does not provide protection from blinding sunlight, whether the visor is down in front of me, or to the side window - a dangerous situation. Have never had this problem before, and have been a Toyota customer for over 35 years.
