I'm writing this for my father because he might not have the technical capacity to do this. He is [XXX] old. He bought a car last year brand new from Toyota. It is a Hybrid Camry that has some options that allow the car to follow traffic, lane keep etc. On [XXX] he had a Hybrid System Malfunction that caused the car to accelerate while at a traffic light ready to turn left. The acceleration caused his car to collide with the car in front of him. He tried to press the brakes but was not able to do it fast enough. The car in front had no damage. His car has a lot of damage. The other driver drove off. His car was damaged so much that it was not drivable. There was radiator fluid on the road. This was on [XXX]. He took the car in immediately after back to the Toyota dealership. The car is st

The Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems went out on my new vehicle at about 3500 miles. There are warnings for both that come up on my dashboard. I brought my vehicle in for its 5000 mile check-up and asked Toyota to check into it. Their tech said the outage was caused by the vehicle being in a collision and they were going to charge me to repair the safety systems. The thing is that this vehicle has not been in a collision. I believe it was a faulty installation of the systems. I am not going to pay for something not caused by me when the vehicle is new and under full warranty. I am making this complaint so that maybe there are other vehicles with the same issue and we can get repairs covered by Toyota under a recall.
Rear camera is not aligned off by 8 inches. This is a safety hazard potential damage accident or loss of life please investigate. Dealership said nothing they can do until a recall is issued. Dealership hit bumper on routine service says nothing sure what happened
Driver’s door would not open with keyless entry and window switch will not work for back passenger windows. Believed to be related to master switch. Door will only open after manual entry with key and windows only work with individual switch on each door.
When I tried to lock or unluck my car's driver's door, it wouldn't lock or unlock. I tried using the key instead of the "remote" opening but still took some efford. A closer inspection reveal that the little "hook" thing locking the door wasn't working properly. However, it had happened before that the door could only be unlock through physically using the key, and it has developed into a struggle to open it even with physical key.
cruise control 2 complaints shown
I have experienced on multiple occasions a delay or lack of immediate power when pressing the gas pedal from a complete stop. I have almost caused an accident because of this delayed acceleration when I’m trying to turn or merge into traffic. The car seems to do it randomly so there’s no telling when it’s going to actually accelerate or have the delay, but it has happened frequently enough that I am concerned. My car has barely hit 30,000 miles so I highly doubt that it would be linked to normal wear and tear of the vehicle.
I own a 2024 Toyota Camry LE. The vehicle has an intermittent and unpredictable hesitation when I press the accelerator. At times, the vehicle does not respond normally to accelerator input and hesitates before providing power. After the hesitation, the vehicle can suddenly surge forward. This creates a significant safety concern because predictable acceleration is necessary when merging into traffic, entering an intersection, making a turn, or accelerating from a stop. I have experienced situations where I could not rely on the vehicle to accelerate when needed, followed by an unexpected surge in acceleration. The problem appears to involve the vehicle's powertrain/transmission and/or its electronic control system, although I cannot identify the specific cause. I am reporting this as
visibility 2 complaints shown
The windshield wipers are too slow in heavy rain. It is impossible to see in front of you and can cause wrecks.
Purchased a 2024 Camry SE with defective rear glass. Glass is uneven along the horizontal defroster lines creating a wavy effect. This greatly affects the visibility and clarity of vehicles in the rearview mirror. Vehicle was taken to the Toyota dealership and was told replacement would not be covered by warranty. My previous 2021 Camry did not have this issue and was an identical model, nor have I encountered this issue in other vehicles thus far. The lack of explanation or willingness to help from the dealership is frustrating as it is extremely annoying to deal with on a daily basis.
airbags 1 complaint shown
The dealership and manufacturer will not provide mco on the vehicle they sold me as new. I think they’re title cloning or washing and committing odometer fraud. They don’t submit to the dmv actual details of make model
brakes 1 complaint shown
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the braking system erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to decelerate unintendedly. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, and a field representative was sent to the dealer to examine the vehicle. During the diagnostic test, the vehicle control history report stated that the accelerator pedal and brake pedal had been depressed simultaneously and was caused by driver error. The contact stated that driver error was not the cause of the failure. Additionally, while operating the vehicle, the Lane Departure feature malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to erroneously steer into the opposite lane of oncoming t

vehicle does not always respond when the gas pedal is pushed. the engine revs and rpms increase, but gears don't catch. merging onto highways, or making turns into traffic are terrifying as i'm not sure if the car will go.

lighting 1 complaint shown
The headlights do not project far enough down the road making it difficult to see at night. It almost appears as if the headlights are pointing down. This is a hugh safety issue. I brought my car in to the dealer and was told that my headlights match all other 2024 camry's and there is nothing that can be done unless Toyota issues a safety recall. I have researched this issue and found many complaints online.

body 1 complaint shown
I am an Uber driver and most passengers normally sitting in the rear (passenger/right side), have issues opening the door while exiting the vehicle. They generally pull the lever expecting the the door to open, but I always have to tell them to pull the lever while simultaneously pushing the door outwards (which is abnormal). This problem has been ongoing since I purchased this vehicle new in December of 2023. I reported this issue to my local Toyota dealership.

Friday, August 2, 2024 – While driving car on [XXX] in Portland, OR major unknown problem surfaced. Had car towed into dealership, paying a towing fee of $217.50. Seven hundred nine (709) miles were on odometer. Saturday, August 1, 2024 – Telephoned Royal Moore Toyota and spoke with George Stavrakis – every lug nut on all four (4) wheels were loose and only finger tight. Plus three (3) studs on right rear wheel were broken off. New rim would be needed. George stated that because I had my oil changed by Walmart that they (Walmart) must have loosed all the lug nuts. I had watched Walmart service the vehicle the entire time and Walmart never touched the lug nuts. Monday, August 5, 2024 – Our insurance agent informed me that that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NH
