DRIVING WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL AND WINDSHIELD STARTS CRACKING AT THE RIGHT MIDDLE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THIS IS WITHOUT AND CONTACT FROM ANY FLYING OBJECT AT ALL, NO ROCKS, NO PROJECTILES.
This reports night-time driving experiences, during which the front left LED headlight projects/creates fixed black “shadow” images onto the roadway in front of the car, partially obscuring the driver’s far left field of view of the roadway. Despite adjustments of the front left headlight by dealer technicians, the left headlight “shadows”, while lessened, are still projected onto the roadway and represent a night time driving safety concern. Dealer technicians made adjustments to the left headlight projection on 2 occasions. (1 the technician reported that there seems to be “bubbles” in the left side headlight projection. Technician adjusted the left headlight’s aim to proper height. Technician reports that “shadow” on roadway is a normal characteristic of LED projector inside headlamp. (2 the technician reported that the left driver side headlight is slightly high and needed to be properly aligned. Technician reports that “shadow” marking on roadway is considered normal.
Unknown loud noise while driving occurred once. 5 mpg decrease is gas mileage. My assessment is a defect in the eCVT / power split device related to one of the electric motors.
UNKNOWN. Car manufactured in 7/25 but should be part of recall 25V869. Loud knock reported in 2025 and subsequent decrease in acceleration and gas mileage. Taken to dealership multiple times in 2025 to diagnose issue but no resolution.
I purchased the vehicle on 8/30/2025 in the early afternoon and later in the evening once it was getting dark I noticed the low beam headlights on my vehicle only provide a range of approximately 50 ft. ahead, making it very difficult to drive at night to observe anything in which could be in the roadway. I took the car into the Toyota dealer on 9/27/2025 which they adjusted the headlights slightly higher which did not help. I contacted them which they replied they cant adjust any higher. This a major safety issue with this model which needs corrected, its impossible to see at night without using the high beams blinding oncoming drivers.
Tire size 235/40R19 Vehicle hydroplanes in light rain on all roads even at low speeds on AWD vehicle. Several instances where the vehicle hydroplanes and has steered the car into oncoming traffic or off the road. Tires have been inspected by Toyota and Discount Tire. Both state tires pass inspection. Bridgestone was contacted and states nothing can be done. Upon searching that specific tire, reviews state Many others are having the same issues calling the tire extremely unsafe. Tires have had issues since buying the car new and continue to have problems with currently only 14k miles.
While driving my 2025 Toyota Camry, the infotainment/navigation display screen (center console multimedia system) will randomly and sporadically shut down completely, leaving the screen blank without warning. This has happened multiple times, including while I was backing up and relying on the backup camera, creating an unsafe situation by eliminating visibility. When the screen goes blank while driving, I lose access to navigation, vehicle settings, and other safety-related features, which increases the risk of distraction and potential accidents. There are no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to the failure and it occurs suddenly. I reported the issue to my Toyota dealership, and they acknowledged it as a factory issue, but I have not been given a timeline for a fix, which has been very frustrating. The vehicle is still available for inspection upon request. I have also seen numerous reports online from other 2025 Camry owners experiencing the same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread defect.
Driver side seat belt doesnt click in and causes car to beep and no seatbelt warning to always be on
When moving very slow in my gravel driveway, slightly rutted with grass growing in the center, the emergency braking activated hard enough to whiplash my neck locking the front left wheel. My speed was probably less the 5 MPH.
I am writing to report a couple of issues with my new 2025 Camry LE, which I purchased just one week ago. First, I've noticed a significant squeaking noise when I apply the brakes while reversing or parking. This is a consistent sound and is quite loud. It's look like there an issue with brake in new car Additionally, the windshield wipers are making a lot of noise. I've never experienced this with other vehicles, including my 2022 car, which has much quieter wipers. The noise from the new Camry's wipers is quite distracting.
I am not sure if this qualifies as a safety issue, but the head rest on Camry is terrible. They are heavily tilted forward and non-adjustable (cannot tilt them back). When seated and trying to maintain a neutral posture - it is not possible, one has to keep their head tilted forward which becomes painful after a while.
The middle to upper seat constantly pops during acceleration and braking, which is distracting to the driver and may cause an accident due to popping sensation in the middle of the driver's back. If in a forceful accident, I am worried that the movement in the seat could cause potential harm if a part is loose enough to move with gentle braking/acceleration. This issue appears to be common in 2025 Camrys as there are many complaints on internet forums and on the nhtsa complaint site.
A few days ago, when driving along the highway, I was caught in a massive rain storm. I'm talking deluge that made visibility difficult even with the wipers on max power. As I'm driving along, the one thing keeping me from playing bumper cars with anyone in front of me was the taillights cutting through the visual noise. However, I began to approach a vehicle whose taillights I did not see until it was too late. Thankfully they were in the other lane, so I did not hit them, however, their taillights appeared to be off. As I got closer, I realized that the taillights were on and, in fact, so we're the hazards. They just didn't have the brightness to cut through all that rain. Then, to my horror, I noticed that the vehicle was another 2025 Toyota Camry, exactly like mine. I confirmed later with friends who were following us. In that rain, our taillights were invisible, even when all around us were shining through the noise. The taillight design on these Camrys needs to be fixed for the safety of those driving them, as well as the safety of others on the road. It is entirely possible that if I were to have been in the same lane as that other Camry, I would have rear-ended them. Luckily in this case everyone was safe.
B-Pillar that houses drivers side seatbelt has a persistent rattling noise. I am afraid that something is loose inside and seatbelt will fail. A bolt, screw or washer sounds loose inside. It has been repaired 2 times. Taken back to dealership 3 times since first 2 repairs but Toyota claims unable to replicate. The seatbelt does not tight across my torso when I brake. Videos of defect have been provided. Active repair case with Gulf States Toyota. Claims manager Andre has called Northshore Toyota to attempt assist with repair. Headliner or glass panoramic sunroof is loose and rattling. It has been repaired 2 times. Taken back to dealership 3 times since first 2 repairs but Toyota claims unable to replicate. The box that houses lighting buttons above back seat and one speaker above driver's head is rattling and loose. I do not know if it is the glass above headliner causing the rattling. Glass may break while driving over bumps if it is not properly secured or air sealed. Passenger and driver's seat have defective lumbar components inside. Causes a safety distraction to driver. When vehicle stops or starts it hits or bumps driver or passenger. This is a documented defect of 2025 Camrys.
Air bags did not deploy. We were hit at 35 miles per hour on the front driver side by someone running the red light. It is currently located at a repair facility waiting for an estimate by the insurance company. The problem has not been reproduced and we did not have any warning messages on.
I have own this car for 1 year and already placed the front windshield two both times a small crack/chip occurred on the passenger side with no known cause. The chip grew because of heat and resulting in me having to replace it. Additionally Safelite technicians also informed me that the glass is so thin they are unable to repair it and always results in a complete replacement. I also own a 2014 Toyota tundra and have never had to replace this windshield even when I can recall a large rock impacting the window on the highway. I believe Toyota has significant issues with this glass and should have to recall the windows and reimburse me for my expenses. There are other incidents where dealerships have replaced them for free acknowledging there is a problem.
The middle to upper seat constantly pops during acceleration and braking, which is distracting to the driver and may cause an accident due to popping sensation in the middle of the driver's back. This issue appears to be common in 2025 Camrys as several driver forums are reporting this issue.
Defect description: The front bumper cover clips located directly under the headlights on my 2025 Toyota Camry XSE are loosening and detaching. This creates a visible gap between the bumper and the body panels. The condition appeared during normal use and has persisted. No collision damage or aftermarket modifications are involved. Safety risk: If the clips continue to loosen, the bumper cover could detach further while driving. At highway speeds, this creates a risk of the bumper separating from the vehicle, potentially becoming road debris and causing a hazard to me and other motorists. Manufacturer response: My Toyota dealership has confirmed this is a known issue, but reported that Toyota currently has no available repair procedure or timeline for a fix. Toyota corporate has also documented my vehicle as affected but cannot provide a remedy. Reproducibility: The defect is visible at all times and worsens gradually with normal driving vibration.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while exiting the vehicle, the contact became aware that the front driver’s seat backrest had no cushion. The contact had pain in the ribs while driving at various speeds. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the seat needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that several models of the Toyota Camry had the same issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
Subject: Report of Sudden Unintended Acceleration – 2025 Toyota Camry I am reporting a safety incident involving my 2025 Toyota Camry that occurred on [XXX] at a low speed in a parking lot in Madison, Wisconsin. While driving at a low speed through a parking lot and I began braking and turning into a parking space, my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly surged forward. The car accelerated without input from me and also did not respond to the brakes. I was unable to stop the vehicle before it struck a tree and bushes. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the car sustained significant damage. The police report inaccurately attributes the incident to driver error, but I firmly believe that this was a case of sudden unintended acceleration. This was not a case of pedal misapplication. The event felt completely out of my control, and I suspect an electronic or mechanical malfunction. I am extremely concerned about the safety of the vehicle and whether this issue could occur again. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this incident and determine whether this may be part of a broader pattern with this vehicle model. It will be extremely helpful if you can request to retrieve Event Data Recorder (EDR) to determine what occurred during the incident. I am available for follow-up and willing to assist in an investigation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
1.The driver-side bumper/bumper cover and/or bumper attachment clips, brackets, or mounting points failed or malfunctioned. The bumper was protruding on the driver’s side and was not staying properly secured to the vehicle. Repairs have already been completed by an independent auto body shop. I have repair documentation, photos, and/or invoices available to support the complaint. 2.My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the bumper was protruding and not properly secured on the driver’s side. I was concerned that the bumper could become further detached while driving, especially at highway speeds, creating a road hazard for other drivers or pedestrians. The protruding bumper could also affect the vehicle’s exterior safety structure, cause distraction while driving, or worsen if the vehicle hit a bump, pothole, or experienced normal road vibration. 3.Yes. The problem was confirmed by an independent auto body shop. They inspected the bumper issue and repaired it. I was also advised by the shop that they have seen similar issues with Toyota bumpers and that this appears to be a common problem. The repair cost was approximately $1,000 out of pocket. 4. The vehicle/component was inspected by an independent auto body shop. To my knowledge, it has not yet been inspected by Toyota, police, or insurance representatives. I am filing this complaint so the issue can be documented and reviewed as a possible safety or manufacturing-related concern. 5.There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages related to this issue. The main symptom was visible: the bumper began protruding on the driver’s side and was not staying properly attached. I first noticed the issue on or around June 10, 2025. The condition appeared to worsen or remain unresolved until I had it repaired by an independent auto body shop. I am filing this complaint regarding a bumper issue on my Toyota vehicle. The driver-side bumper/bumper cover began protruding and was not staying properly
I am reporting a recurring issue with the front bumper misalignment on my 2025 Toyota Camry, which may indicate a widespread manufacturing defect. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle from Toyota Direct March 2025, I noticed that the front bumper was visibly misaligned, with uneven gaps near the headlights and fender panels. On June 9, 2025, the dealership replaced the front bumper with an OEM part. However, the new bumper still does not fit properly and continues to protrude and separate at the corners creating the potential for the bumper to become loose during operation. This affects both the appearance, aerodynamic integrity of the vehicle and an potential for accident. Multiple attempts at repair have failed to resolve the issue. After researching, I found numerous reports from other 2025 Camry owners experiencing the same bumper misalignment. Some dealership representatives have acknowledged the bumper fitment as a “known issue,” yet no official recall or technical service bulletin has been issued. Given the widespread nature of this defect and Toyota’s lack of a permanent solution, I believe this issue warrants further investigation by the NHTSA to determine whether a manufacturing or design flaw exists that could affect vehicle safety, durability, or value.
I purchased this vehicles in May and after 3 weeks I begin to have terrible neck pain. I’m now in physical therapy and have difficulty sitting in the vehicle for long periods. The design of the front seats are terrible. It pushes your head forward and the upper shoulder design compensates poorly. It is not ergonomically correct. I’ve reported this to Toyota to ask for assistance and they provided none. They told me I should bring it to the dealer, but that doesn’t change their poor design. This is a very real problem that is causing significant pain and damage, which Toyota will not acknowledge or fix.
Front Bumper Fitment Issue: The front bumper clips fail to secure the bumper properly, causing a noticeable gap between the bumper and the body, particularly around the headlight and fender. Despite visiting my local dealer today (10-11-2025), they have confirmed that this is a known issue, but no permanent solution has been provided. The bumper misalignment negatively impacts the aesthetic quality and structural integrity of the vehicle. This problem has been reported by multiple 2025 Camry owners and persists even after the bumper is replaced. It is evident upon delivery and has not been fixed by Toyota or the dealership to date. Rear Seatbelt Warning Malfunction: I experienced a malfunction with the rear seatbelt warning system. The warning alert activated while the vehicle is in motion, falsely indicating that an unbuckled passenger is in the backseat, even when the rear seats are empty. At my dealership visit in August, I was told that this was a normal characteristic of the vehicle, triggered when rear doors are opened or closed without the seatbelt being clicked in. However, this explanation does not account for the behavior I am experiencing, where the warning is erroneously triggered while the vehicle is moving. This malfunction undermines the reliability of Toyota's safety systems, and I request that Toyota investigate it thoroughly. I would also appreciate guidance on how to disable or adjust the rear seatbelt reminder in the meantime, if that is a viable solution.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the paint on the vehicle was damaged during production. When the vehicle was transported, the contact noticed that the paint had spots. The dealer was unable to repair the vehicle since the damage occurred during production. The dealer replaced the vehicle with another 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that when the vehicle had the windows tinted, the employee noticed that the front bumper was loose and was pushed back into place. However, the failure persisted. The bumper was pushed back into place several times, but the failure recurred, and the contact was informed that the mounting tabs in the bumper were weak. The driver’s side brackets and the bumper were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the front bumper was not aligned and was still loose. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that no other fix was available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that a case manager would be sent to inspect the vehicle. The case manager found a tear in the rubber and filed a Lemon Law case on behalf of the contact. The contact was informed that the Lemon Law case was denied and closed. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the front bumper looked misaligned. The failure mileage was approximately 6.
I am reporting a recurring safety defect involving the front bumper assembly on my brand-new Toyota Camry Hybrid. The front bumper repeatedly detaches, separates, and pulls away from the vehicle during normal driving conditions. This has occurred multiple times despite repeated repair attempts by the authorized Toyota dealership. Toyota and the dealership have acknowledged that this is a known issue affecting other vehicles and have admitted that there is currently no permanent repair remedy available. Despite this, the defect has been misclassified as “cosmetic,” which is inaccurate and unsafe. The bumper is a critical safety component designed to absorb and distribute crash forces. A bumper that is already detached or partially unsecured compromises crash force pathways and reduces occupant protection in the event of a collision. If an accident occurs, the bumper cannot perform its intended safety function, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, I can hear air intrusion entering the vehicle through the front area where the bumper is separating, confirming that the vehicle’s exterior seal and structural integrity are compromised while driving. This vehicle has never been in an accident and is operated under normal conditions. A front bumper should not detach on a new vehicle. This is not a cosmetic concern it is a safety defect that places occupants at risk. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue as a potential pattern defect and require Toyota to address it as a safety matter rather than mislabeling it to avoid corrective action.
The default cruise control mode on my 2025 Toyota Camry is adaptive cruise control. If you are using adaptive cruise control when driving around town the system can abrubtly brake when it should not. The two conditions when this happens are: 1. You are driving on a divided highway that has left turn lanes. If there are cars in the left turn lane the sytem can abrubtly brake. It thinks the car in the left turn lane are in your path. 2. If you are driving in the left lane of a one way street where cars are parked on the left hand side of the street, the system can brake abrubtly. It thinks the parked cars are in your path. I consider this a safety issue because drivers often follow to closely and abrupt braking might cause a rear end collision. To solve this problem, I suggest Toyota either make non adaptive cruise control the default or have an option to change the default cruise control to non adaptive cruise control.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a small crack developed on the front windshield. The crack continued to expand to 18 inches across the windshield. During the failure, no objects had struck the windshield to cause the crack. The contact indicated that, over time, other cracks developed on the front windshield. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the cracks, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 100.
I could not crank my car, all the lights were on, on the dashboard, reducing power, stuck in limp mode
The front bumper on my 2025 Toyota Camry continues to shift and separate after driving, despite being repaired twice following a low-impact collision in which another vehicle backed into me. This issue has persisted even after two separate body shops (including a State Farm in-network provider) performed repairs. A third attempt is underway, but the problem remains unresolved. Additionally, my Parking Collision Warning system does not give any audible alerts when reversing or approaching objects, even though this feature is standard on my vehicle. I believe the malfunction may be tied to the bumper’s instability or misalignment, potentially affecting sensor function. The issue has not triggered any warning lights or error messages. However, I’ve now discovered multiple reports from other 2025 Camry owners experiencing the same bumper separation without being in accidents, suggesting a potential design flaw. My car has been inspected by body shops and appraisers, but not by Toyota directly. This ongoing issue presents a potential safety concern due to impaired sensor function and the risk of the bumper detaching at higher speeds. The vehicle and parts are available for inspection upon request.
The front bumper of the vehicle has a known issue where the bumper isn’t staying in properly causing the bumper to pop out of alignment. Toyota fix is to heat up both sides of the plastic edges and tuck the bumper underneath the headlights. It’s a temporary fix that’s needs to be rectified. It seems like Toyota changed the Camry design before it was ready.
The front windshield has a large crack from the top middle to the middle left on the passenger’s side. I didn’t notice anything hit it, just got in the car and it was there. It is available for inspection, but with the length of the crack I don’t feel safe driving it. I’ve read reviews online that the new Camry’s windshield is a faulty. Can you please look into this?
While driving on May 10, 2025, with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Lane Trace Assist (LTA) active, my 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid unexpectedly veered off the road during a curve. I immediately applied full brake pressure, but the vehicle failed to decelerate and continued rolling 600–800 feet. The braking system, including Brake Override and Automatic Emergency Braking, did not engage as designed. After the incident, the car displayed warnings: Brake System Malfunction, Smart Stop Malfunction, Electronically Controlled Brake System Failure, and Low Brake Fluid. No warning lights appeared prior to the incident. My safety was severely at risk as the vehicle left the roadway and struck rocks and brush. Had another car or pedestrian been present, this could have caused serious injury or death. Toyota’s Product Liability Team and a contracted engineering analyst inspected the vehicle and retrieved Event Data Recorder logs showing 100% brake pedal application with inadequate deceleration. Toyota confirmed the brake master cylinder was low and the left rear caliper was leaking fluid but denied responsibility, citing system limitations. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurance company (Progressive) and inspected by an authorized body shop. I have extensive documentation, including Toyota’s denial letter and the diagnostic report, which are available for review. I am reporting this defect because I believe a safety-critical failure occurred and the braking system did not function as intended. The vehicle remains under insurance custody, and all records can be provided upon request.
Windshield wiper stopped working while I was driving in the middle of a storm. Fortunately, I was able to pull onto a side street and not have an accident.
Wife was driving back home on I-280 around 60-65 mph back home when suddenly the back sunroof glass section POP and she started hearing small objects dragging. As soon as she was available to pull over to check it, she realize the whole back glass of the sunroof was cracked. She tried calling Toyota Sunnyvale to report it and best they could help her with was to make a claim with the insurance and pay the deductible of $500 because they saying this was from an “external influence”. They gave us a “rental vehicle” while their inspectors engineers called for non-manufactured issue when; - how will you get hit on the sunroof while driving at 60-65 mph on the freeway? - how is it possible that a small size object could shatter a whole TEMPERED GLASS and also, outline crack all around instead of a center hit like they mentioned. - if there was an external object hitting the sunroof why isn’t any internal damage if it’s right above the sunroof motor. If it was something that big to shatter a whole tempered glass section wouldn’t it damage the motor as is right on the center of the shatter too?. Last but not least, we were “handle” a rental car while they were “inspecting” the vehicle until next coming Monday (2 days later as we took it on a Saturday) we were told to take the vehicle and bring it in the next coming Monday but with that level of shatter it would of fall apart more and would of been an issue for the inspection for them to put it on me as a bigger hit WHITCH THEY DID! And made me pay for the rental days and quote me a $4,700.oo repair labor for the damage part as they determinate it wasn’t manufacture. No one could give an explanation of how did they determinate it when I have an other Toyota that DOES! Have an external object crack on the wind shield AND ITS MINIMAL! Not the whole windshield.
awd hybrid vehicle makes a noise at speeds under 20mph , that sounds like an electric motor or bearing - salesman said the noise is a mandated law by nhtsa ? or ? month later the maintenance tech Forman took it for a test drive and said the same thing . that the noise was created (by a speaker ?) so the vehicle can be heard at low speeds / below 20 mph . i asked where the speaker is , he said he didn't know ! i asked if he could show me it on a diagnostics screen , he again refused . the noise sounds exactly like an electric motor . mg1 , mg2 ? i can't hear the noise when backing out of a driveway or similar low speed situations ? i need to verify if this is true - is there an actual law that the vehicle has to make a noise ? and it was okayed to use a noise that sounds like the hybrid electric motor or bearing ? even if this is true the computer logic should be changed so that the sound pulses so that it is obviously a speaker and not a mechanical issue . ( like no grease ) and it should always work when it is most needed , backing up and slow driving / all the time under 20 mph . service department should plug in a diagnostic scanner and prove to me that a speaker is making the noise . * why is this a safety issue ? because if they are lying , eventually ( when it is out of warranty ) this vehicle will break down . are ALL 2025 Toyota hybrids making some kind of noise ? and if it is a noise created by a speaker - Prove It are all 2025 Camrys making this same noise ? maybe they all have the same mechanical problem ? why wait till there is a crash , fire , or an accident ? as in the next section - Additional Details . and again if it is a legitimate noise generated for safety . at the least change the computer logic so it pulses and doesn't sound like a bad motor generator bearing . And have the maintenance techs trained to know where the speaker actually is . i don't want to share my personal information with toyota . if they are lying
Urgent safety complaint for my 2025 Toyota Camry SE. I feel unsafe driving this car, especially with my child, due to extremely premature and unsafe tire wear found at only 17,309 miles. Key Facts: Mileage: 17,309. Problem: Needed immediate replacement of 4 tires due to severe premature wear. Two tires worn to steel belts, risking tire failure. Faulty wheel bearing also diagnosed. Safety: High risk of tire failure. Unsafe feeling driving car, particularly with child. Maintenance: Regular tire rotations performed. Alignment done at ~9,000 miles. This severe wear is unacceptable and unsafe. My 2 prior new Camrys had tires last 45k-60k miles. Expected these tires to last at least another 25,000 miles / 1 year. Finding steel belts at <18k miles was shocking/unexpected. Despite the danger & maintenance history, Toyota dismissed concerns, blaming only the tire maker (Bridgestone). Toyota refuses to investigate potential vehicle causes (suspension, alignment specs, wheel bearing link) for this rapid, unsafe wear. Online research shows a pattern: other newer Camry owners report similar premature tire wear, possibly linked to larger factory rims. Extreme low-mileage failure suggests a vehicle safety defect. Urge NHTSA to investigate promptly to determine if a vehicle issue is causing this unsafe tire wear on these models, putting families at risk.
My vehicle has about 5000 miles and twice now the transmission will not shift past reverse meaning I cannot get it into neutral drive or manual mode after starting. Last time it happened I had to restart the car about a half a dozen times and took over 15 minutes before the vehicle would shift into drive. It is not throwing a code and the dealer does not know what needs to be fixed and is unable to diagnose it, but they told me they have seen this issue on other cameras where it randomly will not go into gear. To be specific the shifter itself will not move past reverse. This represents the safety issue because if I threw it into park at a stoplight and this happened in traffic I would be stuck sitting in a lake. Until it went into gear again. My wife was trying to leave an area with a dangerous individual involved in a domestic violence dispute with another party and could not get the gear to engage or get out of the area. This is the second occurrence I am speaking of and put her in a danger situation while she tried to get the car to go into gear to be able to leave the area. Unacceptable with a new vehicle And with a dealer, not knowing what to do and no fix from the manufacturer. I am at a loss as to what I can do to get this corrected.
My car battery has died on me 3 times and I just got this car on [XXX]. The AAA technicians that had to come out and give me a jump stated that my battery is no good and that it is not the original Toyota Battery. Also, when I try to start my vehicle with the Toyota App. It states that it cannot start because my car is driving, my car is not driving because it is parked. I took my car to Frontier Toyota in Valencia, Ca. where I purchased this vehicle to have it inspected, and they said that the battery test came back good, but AAA technicians says the battery is bad which I believe because my car has not started on 3 occasions and I had to get a jump. This is very scary especially if this happens when I am traveling and cannot get reception to contact anyone.

The right side of my windshield has significant ripples and distortions on the right side. It isn't just on the edge where it curves, but 6 inches to a foot in. I took it to the dealers who saw it. If you look at the two attached pictures, one is of the dealership's garage. In the first picture, the lines on the door are perfectly straight. The second picture is through the windshield and you can see all the undulations. However, the dealership pulled up another car same year make and model, and it had it too. I saw it with my own eyes that it was just as bad as mine. But Toyota's answer was it isn't an issue because its in other cars. My answer is that both/all are defective. It is a major safety issue because I constantly see movement that isn't there that is caused by a defective windshield.
According to the car’s manual and Toyota’s official website, the fuel tank capacity should be 13 gallons. However, my car does not have this capacity. Additionally, it consumes enough fuel for 36 miles when driving only 22 miles.
It appears that the driver seat and I suspect the passenger seat has some sort of internal issue or defect. Every time I accelerate, brake, or go up and down on the road, there is a crunching or punching feeling in the seat right around the middle back area. Not sure if something is loose or broken but whatever it is, it is not a normal feeling and aside from being extremely annoying, it could be dangerous. If there are loose parts from the seat's structure and if someone is driving quickly and brakes, it could shift and impale the driver and/or the passenger. Or if the seat's internal structure has an issue, it could impact the functionality of the seat beat or the seat itself during a collision. This issue for sure has nothing to do with the fabric/stitching; something internal is the problem. Additionally, per my investigation online, other customers who purchased from all trims of the 2025 Toyota Camry are dealing with this defect. I believe that Toyota needs to take it seriously and address the issue/repair immediately before the issue gets bigger than it needs to be. In regards to the questions above, the seat is available for inspection. The safety risk is described above. The vehicle was taken to the dealership today and their diagnosis has not been reported back to me. Component has not been inspected by the manufacturer; I reached out to Toyota about the issue and they assumed I was just submitting my general opinion; I don't see or feel any sense of urgency from Toyota to investigate and make a repair. The car functions normally aside from the issue above.
12 volt battery only charges to 50% of capacity. Dealer says it is normal.
Bought 2025 Toyota Camry LE on 2025 January. Started noticing some movement on driver seat backrest just after few days of owning it. It makes big crunchy/creaking sound when I lean into the seat back and then lean forward again. Because of this, it doesn't provide stable driver position when turning the vehicle, accelerating from a stop and when sudden braking. it feels like it is not going to provide enough support in an unfortunate event of an accident. Took the car to the dealership when it had about 1500 miles on it. Dealership said , a technical took a look into and didn't find anything wrong with it and will have to live with it. I am already regretting purchasing a Camry.

Sun roof seals not properly installed, could cause leaking which in turn could cause a distraction to the driver while it's raining.
We purchased the 2025 Camry XSE on December 31st, 2024. We brought the car home on 1/3/25 we parked the vehicle in our driveway for 2 days. On the 2nd day we actually attempted to drive the car and 20 minutes into the drive the low engine oil light came on. the next morning we returned the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. They stated it was a bad battery cell and replaced the battery. I left the dealership and 30 minutes later the low engine light, and system stopped front radar sensor blocked light began to come on simultaneously. We contacted the dealer immediately. They scheduled to have the car towed back to the dealership. This was on 1/6/25. The vehicle was picked up on 1/9/25. The vehicle is still at the dealership today 2/11/25.
Hi, I bought a new Camry 2025 XSE hybrid from Dan Cava Toyota, Fairmont, WV. The Toyota company says 47 mpg. However, I filled complete tank 3 times and each time the odometer showed estimated 430-440 miles for 13 gallons, which is equal to 34 mpg. As a customer, I feel I am cheated by Toyota company. I bought this Camry only for a better mileage and safety. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you very much.

There is no way to turn off the features after looking into the manual. While I was driving on the Interstate, my wheel jerked to the right towards the off ramp when I heals it straight. It was fighting me. Another time a bus was pulled to the right in front of me to pick up the people, and my car abruptly braked despite being in the clear and having pushing on my accelerator.But my vehicle jerked into the left lane over the right when I made a right turn from a stop, nearly causing me to be rear ending by traffic. As I was driving approximately last week, my car made a complete harsh stop at approximately over 30mph causing me to have severe neck and head pains that have only been increasing since. I was in the clear from the car that was to my right at the intersection. My car had also jerked to the left lane instead of the right lane when I was stopped making a right turn using my turn signal. And also, I noticed that my settings would reset when I program them. No other person messes with my settings on the dash. I have a schedule to get my neck and head checked due to increasing pains.
