Purchased this vehicle at a big dealership and driving noticed glaring across the windshield try washing not helping took vehicle to glass shop that told me windshield damaged from rock chips and was pitted all the way through and could not be repaired has to be replaced dealership refuses to replace even though it has glare in sunlight and impairs my vision when driving the custom relation manager said it would have to be shattered or cracked before they would fix she referred me to go to a tint shop to have inside tint installed to help with the glaring that’s a negative because that can make it worse for seeing this damage was not disclosed during sale so this falls under deceptive sale practice and this is bad business the vehicle has car fax report and was a commercial vehicle so this all makes sense why the windshield is as bad as it is also dealership told me to contact my insurance and deal with it that way this is a safety issue when driving and the sun makes it glare and hard to visibly see I want the dealership to take responsibility for this repair since it wasn’t disclosed to me at time of sale this purchase was done November 5 2025 it’s only been a couple weeks also when I purchased this vehicle the first day of driving I noticed wrong tire speed rate was on car the vehicle calls for 95 h and it had 95 t which is a lower speed rate and is a safety issue as well on 11/11/25 I replaced out of my pocket and put four tires with proper speed rate for that vehicle I’m demanding to this dealership for reimbursement on that as well… safelite glass did estimate on windshield and I purchased proper tires at big chief.
2021 Camry only 24k miles received an engine maintenance required light pop up on my car. Took it to the Toyota dealer and was told I needed replace engine coolant bypass valve-code p268115 engine coolant bypass valve. Car is only 3 years old and should not be having this issue. Was told warranty does not cover definitely is a manufacturing issue. There should be a recall.
The driver side rear door would not open from the inside or outside. Once the dealership opened the back door, the vehicle would no longer lock at all. There was nothing to indicate this would be a problem. Now my car will not lock at all and this is a safety hazard. Also, not being able to open a door from the inside or outside is a major safety issue and my vehicle is available for inspection.
I started to get the ringing noise I do not have my seatbelt buckled and the srs airbag warning started popping up. I learned after taking my car in for service it is due to the recall related to the sensor under my passenger seat.
For three consecutive days, while driving on the highway (speed between 50-60 miles per hour, with a speed limit of 60 miles per hour), the car experienced unstable posture, skidding, and sudden severe shaking, as if it were traveling on water, especially frequent on bends! when driving at a lower speed (between 45-60 miles per hour, with a highway speed limit of 65 miles per hour), it feels like driving on a slippery road. The first time this happened, the road surface was normal and not slippery; the second day, the first occurrence was during rain, and I thought it was due to wet road conditions, but the second and especially the third time, the road surface was dry, and there were no wet or slippery road conditions. Today is the third day and the same issue occurred again. Personally, I suspect it may be the result of improper intervention by lane assist functions. This is the first time I've encountered this situation in all my years of driving. ".
Android auto is not connecting the first time or disconnecting constantly. Creating hazardous situations to frequently stop and re-attempt multiple times to get it to work.
The subject vehicles have occupant classification system (OCS) sensors in the front passenger seat, that could have been improperly manufactured. I have not received a recall notice advising of the repair since I bought the vehicle.
Srs airbag.
The engine under caver.
Engenier cover.
My 2021 Camry xle hybrid spontaneously developed a crack in the windshield. It reaches from the top edge on the passenger side and extends around the area of the mirror attachment towards the driver side. It is approximately 20 inches in length. There was no impact, nothing hit the windshield and there are no signs of any damage. It happened while the car was in my garage while I was away traveling.
Panoramic sunroof. When opening it jams and starts making a loud popping noise. Others have reported it exploding sending shards of glass everywhere and Toyota refuses to issue a recall/ or fix the problem. They only told me they had no idea others were having this issue. I was 100 miles out of my warranty and they refuse to fix it for less than 10,000. 00. This is a safety issue.
Check engine light on. When I put my 2021 Toyota Camry in drive car jerks and check engine light goes on. Happened today.
Glass of sunroof exploded while driving at 60 mph, without external impact. Likely related to heat (about 95f at time of incident). If I did not have the inner plastic roof closed glass pieces would have fallen into the passenger area. The loud bang of the glass breaking was very startling and could have easily caused an unsafe reaction.
A couple Monday’s ago, I was backing my 2021 Camry le out of the driveway when I felt the car lurch and continue in reverse until I crashed into a car down the street. I have literally backed out of that driveway thousands of time since 2006, hundreds of times with the Camry le, and several times since the accident. I have never had this experience. While I cannot dismiss that I might have hit the accelerator, the backing out of the driveway usually requires that I ride the brake into the street, especially since I am right off the corner where cars tend to cut around quickly. (initial estimate attached).
My son hit a tree at an estimated speed of 45 (as estimated by the accident report) and the car went in flame burning completely my son and the entire inside of the car. I am amazed at a new car that does not have enough front crash support and most important the fuel pump should have shut off due to hitting the front to prevent the car from being burned. Yes, my son died in the accident but we did not have the chance to see him because of the fire, we have only bones to bury.
Unstable wobble when driving at high speeds on some road surfaces. Steering feels as if you could lose control when this happens.
Shut off car but system didn’t shut off so the next day car won’t start…once jump started, it will start ok. Took car to shop but they can’t find anything wrong since it starts ok…recurring problems in the last few years.
