Equipment Problems of Toyota Camry - part 2

Just bought this car in may 2024 and a few months after owning it my check engine light came on. They said the issue is with a coolant bypass valve and the issue is common with Toyota’s like mine. There is currently no recall, warranty is fighting me to fix it and the repairs will cost me over $700! Toyota needs to recall for this issue.

On October 22, I drove my daughter to her high school that is about 6 miles away from my house and dropped her off around 6:50 am. On my way back, after driving around 2 miles, I was turning around a bend about 25 miles per hour when my car suddenly started accelerating. Startled, I stepped on the brake immediately, but the brake was not working to my surprise. I stepped a second time, and then a third time to no avail. In the meantime, the car was surging forward into the darkness at a higher and higher speed. I panicked; I remember uttering,” OH, my god, OH, my god” a couple of times and then don’t remember what happened. According to the sheriff’s car crash report, the car veered off the road to the left, glanced off a tree and continued in a straight line and crashed into an electricity pole at about 65 mph and stopped. Obviously, I was in a state of shock and woken up by someone asking me repeatedly, “are you okay?”. I was dazed. When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by blinking lights from an ambulance. I just sat there bewildered. The window next to me was utterly broken. My left leg was folded. I felt it with my palm and realized that it was broken. I felt my right leg and it was okay. I was asked if I could pull my self out of the car through the passenger’s side door, but I couldn’t move my left leg. So, I gave my back to first responders, and they dragged me out of the car and laid me on the tarmac. Two people held me by my legs and two others by my shoulders and picked me up to a stretcher of an ambulance. My t – shirt and pants were cut up and removed, and I was wrapped by blanket, and taken to the back of the ambulance. Preliminary checking suggested my left leg was indeed fractured, therefore, was wrapped carefully, and I was taken to an emergency room. X-ray of my leg and CT scan of my head and chest showed that my left leg had serious fractures. Surgery to stabilize the fractures was performed. And a second surgery will be performed in two days.

Over the 10 years I have owned this car, it has failed to start about a dozen times. 1/2 the time I am at home and 1/2 the time I am away from home. Sometimes if you wait a few hours it will then start, often times it has to get towed to the dealer. Upon arrival at the dealership, it usually starts. The Toyota dealership has been unable to correctly diagnose the problem. As such, I spend money on repairs that do not actually fix it. The latest "diagnosis" is that the steering lock actuator motor needs to be replaced. Cost about $900. There is no guarantee that replacing this part will fix the problem. Calls to Toyota corporation go unreturned. I call them, log a case, the case is closed without a response. Rinse and repeat. Has happened three times already. Clearly they do not care. This is a very serious problem. Below is just the latest incident that happened on 10/15/2024.

Shifted the operating car from park to drive when the car suddenly and unexpectedly took off even though I was not touching the accelerator. The car accelerated across the street and slammed into a parked car. The airbags did not deploy which would indicate a low-speed but the pre-collision system did not stop the car which would indicate higher- speed. My car was written off as a complete loss by my insurance carrier and the damage to the parked car that was hit was extensive.

While driving your 2025 Toyota Camry, I experienced an unintended acceleration and brake failure causing a collision to occur on October 10, 2024 with only around 7000 miles. I was ready to park my vehicle in the garage of my company with very low speed between two vehicles, then it suddenly accelerated on its own and the brakes would not stop the vehicle. My vehicle collided with a wall only around 3 feet before my vehicle. I have concern that this incident resulted from a defect with my vehicle, so I noticed Toyota's dealer and Toyota. I suspect this is a control system failure since this is a new hybrid vehicle. I have heard online that there are several accidents happened for Toyota hybrid vehicles having similar experience: new vehicles with low speed even with foot on the brake. The unintended acceleration under low speed with foot on the brake is a safety issue. However, Toyota did not think this is a vehicle defect after its around two month's investigation.

Dash board has become sticky due to the adhesive seeping out; causes major visual impairments while driving due to the reflection of the sun off of the sticky/disgusting/shiny dashboard.

No incident. But it's a problem with the abs. Dealership says it's nothing wrong with the brakes. But it is. Had a diagnostics done at auto zone, and it came back showing a code for the abs system. But showed the service dept the code that it showed something is wrong with abs. They still say nothing is wrong.

The car is beige and peeling everywhere. I know there is a recall for paint for white and blizzard, but its doing the same for the beige color. I would like it repainted.

While loading groceries in my trunk, the torsion bar sheared off and broke (the hook part). It fell hard on my shoulder (fortunately not my neck or head). I have never seen steel actually break rather than bend. I tried to fix it but could not. Trunk is heavy and unstable (falls easily), as is part of car in back. Went to Toyota dealer and found out no recall, and "iffy" fix. They wanted $488. 50 to try and fix. My body shop estimated $164. And purchased correct Toyota parts, followed their instructions. The bars only held for a few minutes, then they failed to hold up the trunk again. I was almost injured again with this failure, but managed to catch it in time. They refunded me $100. Since they said there was no more "play" to work with. Went on social media only to find that many Toyota Camry 2016 and 2015s had torsion bar failures, with no recall. Some said that they spent over $1000. Trying to fix it, but never could, no matter what dealership or body shop repaired it. Others gave up and sold it. It is not something that I can "live with". The trunk is heavy to life and unstable. Have to hold it while trying to put things in trunk. I have had 6 Toyotas in my life and 3 cars with auto nation, but have never had the lack of integrity, follow-through and non-solutions that I have experienced with the purchase of this car. Unlike others, I can't afford to sell/replace my car at this time, and can't live with it as is. I truly love my car, but do not feel safe using it and am totally frustrated. All I want is for Toyota and/or its mfr. ) to own up to the design flaw and either fix or replace it. Note: I have photos of broken part, failure, and estimates, but couldn't get them to download onto your form. (it just kept deleting the form and having me start over). Please advise if I can send another way.

While driving on an open road (no overpasses, tall buildings or objects overhead) my moon roof glass exploded. I did not hear any warning signs and did not have vehicles in front of me for it to be a kicked up rock. Glass rained down in the car.

Radio screen failure.

Engine coolant bypass valve.

The problem is with the dashboard and it is available for inspection now. (I also have photos). It has been inspected by my two auto repair mechanics. Both are certified by aaa. The dashboard is shiny (it looks wet) and extremely sticky. There were no warning lights or messages regarding this problem. This problem began around 9/2023, but is much much worse now. It is possible that there are toxic substances being emitted from the melting compounds. This puts me and my passengers at a health risk from breathing in these substances.

The check engine light came on first then as I was driving a couple days later my car begin to run hot and make a loud noise under the hood. The engine coolant light came with stop the vehicle. The meter reached the hot line. The car begin to lose power. I pulled over and checked under my hood it appears as though my coolant reservoir had splash back look. Left car parked for several hours until it cooled down went back to pick it up from parking lot and as I begin to drive it slowly rose back up to the h on gauge.

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.

My car has had no incidents. I was told by customer service to file a complaint that there is no remedy for this issue. I gain income from renting this car on turo. While there is an active recall, I am not able to use this car for income, it is removed from the qualification list for car rentals. I am told by the dealership that there is no remedy expected until 2026 for this vehicle. I cannot lose two years worth of income waiting for this solution. I had my car inspected at the dealership and was told that my sensor was not faulty and do not need a resolution. Is there any way that I can receive documentation from NHTSA showing that my vehicle is safe to rent out and has been inspected and cleared from Toyota? I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

1. The carpet around the floor mats on the driver’s side is becoming loose. On inspection from the dealership, the carpet was cut too short when the manufacturer assembled the vehicle. 2. At this rate, if the integrity of the carpet continues failing, it may cause instability around the acceleration and braking pedals leading to sudden and unintentional acceleration or braking. 3. Yes, by local dealership see video. 4. Yes, by local dealership see video. 5. Prior to the carpet beginning to detach, no.

I got my 2025 Camry brand new on may 31, 2024. Not even 2 months later my windshield cracked for no reason at all. I called Toyota about this being that I was still in my warranty and they told me they can’t fix it because it’s not a manufacturer issue and said to call safelite and don’t go through my insurance to fix it and pay out of pocket. I was outraged when safelite told me $1,300 to replace it. They also told me that the windshields were on back order because multiple 2025 Camry’s had ordered them for I’m assuming the same reason. Obviously something is up with these windshields! since then the crack has spread all the way across in multiple directions and I still can’t get it fixed. My cheapest quote for replacement was $1,000.

Driver side window spontaneously exploded while driving 70 mph on the toll. It’s available for inspection. I almost lost control of the car when it happened. It’s currently at the Toyota dealership in plano. There was no warning of anything before it exploded.

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 bought my 2009 Camry on [xxx] new in kentucky and have had this vehicle up to the current date of 08-02-2024. In fact, I recently acquired my deceased (2 April 2024) mother's 2009 Camry and will be submitting a claim as well. My vehicle has only been owned by myself and taken extremely good care of and stored in a garage when not being driven. Approximately in June/July 2024 I began noticing that my dashboard was becoming sticky, as though it was actually melting!!!! it would get worse as long as it was out of the garage and was in the sun, heat and humidity. The longer time goes that the car is in these conditions it gets so shiny that the reflection makes seeing difficult!!! I went to the dealership here in augusta, GA where my mother's vehicle was purchased since I am here resolving her estate and the problem started. Prior to doing this, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the us and there was actually a class action lawsuit submitted regarding Toyota not fixing the problem. Also, I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for the 2007-2011 Camry. It had also been extended until 2019. I never received any notification nor had my mother or I would have already looked into the matter even though I didn't have the problem until now!!!!! I was told by the dealer to call corporate. I did and was told to submit a claim, which I did, file#[xxx] on 31 July 2024 and received a response on 1 August 2024 that there wasn't anything Toyota could do because the campaign had expired and it would be at my own expense to get repaired. Not acceptable!!! I can't help that my problem didn't start until the campaign expired or I was never notified of an issue!!!! it is defective material and unsafe issues due to the problem!!!!!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Shudder while driving and shifts hard.

Trunk opens extremely fast and almost hits the rear window glass. It flings open so fast I’m afraid it is going to break and shatter my rear window glass.

I've been into automobile accidents and the passenger airbag never deployed. Few years back I took my vehicle for the sticky dashboard recall, Toyota replaced it. Few years later the dashboard is sticky and shiny worst than the first time, I called Toyota to get it replaced free of charge and they told me that is not the responsibility and denied to fix the replaced sticky dashboard. I almost have gotten in accidents do to the shiny glare from the dashboard.

Hello, I just bought this used Camry from its original owner on 6/10/24. There is a recall for the 2012-2014 Camrys for a transmission shudder that could occur while accelerating, especially under light loads between 25-50 mph. The issue is caused by a combination of a faulty torque converter and a software glitch in the engine control module (ecm). The original owner did not have it fixed. Thus, the problem still exists. This is a safety hazard and I contacted Toyota north America who told me that they can't do anything. However, to fix the problem that Toyota issued the recall themselves, Toyota dealers need to replace to the torque converter and update the ecm software. I am reaching out to the NHTSA because this is a safety hazard and I hope you are able to help me with this. Thank you.

Tire pressure monitoring system - light flashes on-off and then remains illuminated. Toyota dealer wants $1,200 to replace all sensors. I do not have the ability to pay this. Dealer suggests that I just ignore or cover up. This system is a safety system as marketed by the manufacturer. I feel uncomfortable driving over mountainous routes without it. My tire dealer tells me that this is a constant problem with Toyota's.

My dash has melted its making my visibility impossible. I had to replace my windshield in June 2024 because of a crack now my windshield gets and oily substance put off from the the dashboard and I cannot keep my windshield clean to see out of it.

My vehicle has been a one owner vehicle, my mother and now me as she passed on 2 April 2024. My vehicle has been stored in a garage except when it is being driven. My vehicle has been taken care of extremely well and maintenance done as required. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles since it has been owned. Approximately in June 2024 I began to notice my dashboard was sticky, cracking and actually melting! it gets worse as long as it is out of the garage,in the heat/sun and humidity for any length of time. The longer times goes that the car is in these conditions it gets shiny that the reflection makes a glare which makes seeing difficult! I went to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased brand new, milton ruben, augusta GA 30907. Prior to going to the dealership, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the us had been submitted in previous years. I began reading the complaints and discovered the problem was due to Toyota using defective material to make their dashboards in Toyota/Lexus vehicles made in 2007-2011. I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for these vehicles, it had been extended once or twice until 2019. My problem is that I never received any notification or did my mother!we would have immediately taken our vehicles into the dealership. I cannot help that the recall or campaign for this issue had expired prior to my car showing a problem!while reading the complaints I noticed there was a class action lawsuit filed,but I don't know the outcome. I was told by the dealership that they were aware of the problem but there wasn't anything they could do except replace the dashboard at my expense. Totally unacceptable!!!they told me that I would need to call the corporate office to see what they could do. I did, submit a claim, file #240802000525 2 Aug 2024. Toyota didn't reply but was told by the case manager that my case was closed without action. Unacceptable!!!!.

I was driving the vehicle and hit a bump, and the driver side sunvisor dropped down into the sunshield position. I almost got in an accident because I couldn’t see and then I couldn’t get the sunvisor to stay up. This is the fourth sunvisor we have bought from Toyota. All of the three other sunvisors have done the exact same thing and I feel this is dangerous. The people at Toyota confided in me that this is a big problem with many Toyota’s. I am concerned that had my wife been driving she would have gotten in an accident because the sunvisor obstructed the view of the driver. Toyota to charge us $270 for both driver and passenger side sunvisors. Our mechanic put them in for free.

The top dashboard is sticky, almost like a melting feeling. I've tried everything possible to no avail.
