There are 2 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2024 Toyota Camryin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
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.
The rear windshield is blurry (has a ripple effect) when viewing from the rear view mirror, or directly at the window. At night the problem is compounded where the reflection from the headlights behind you appear as "ladder like" lines in your view in the pattern of the defroster lines. The glare and view both in the daylight and at night is completely distracting to the driver. The car was taken to the Toyota dealership where it was first believed to be a tint defect. The tint was removed and Toyota confirmed it was not the tint, but the actual rear glass was defective. They attempted to reapply the tint to be sure, but the problem still persists. They have not provided us with any options to replace the glass and have said that they were aware of complaints and that all 2024 Camry models are like this. Toyota has confirmed there is an issue with the window. We have a case # open with them, but they have not provided a solution. This is a dangerous safety issue. During the day, everything behind you appears "wavy". The glare especially at night is similar to someone driving behind you with their brights on then having to constantly readjust your eyes to focus forward.
