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.

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. Here is a reddit thread of other Camry owners having the same issue: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Sun roof seals not properly installed, could cause leaking which in turn could cause a distraction to the driver while it's raining.
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.
I just bought 2025 Camry SE in late November 2024. when it was raining wind shield was very poor visibility with the wipers is on. Especially, driver's side wiper screeching or chattering, streaking. Visibility is worse at rainy night with opposite traffic head light. I couldn't see clear enough and I was scared that I might get into accident. I took it to dealer and stated problem and they didn't fix the problem. So, I changed to new wipers but still the same problem. Even daytime, wiper don't' give clear wipe. I don't know what to do if raining again. I Think it's the wiper arms is defected.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in inclement weather of sleet and freezing rain, the driver’s side wipers collected ice on the blades. The driver had reduced visibility. The wipers failed to shut off at the midway point. The wiper blades continued to default to the factory settings. The driver's side wiper failed to clear the hood. The windshield wiper on the driver's side could not be raised. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.
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.
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 To
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.
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.
Low oil warming reading, physical oil level is fine. Dealer claming software glitch issue affecting oil readings, no fix available.
Low OIl engine warning comes of day after day, physical oil level is fine but keeps coming on after 2 oil changes dealer claims that it’s a software glitch and Toyota is aware of it..no fix as of yet also claimed vehicle is drivable…. First came on at 20 miles
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.

I was driving up a steep driveway inside a parking garage. While turning a corner, the accelerator pedal began pulling away from my foot, and the car started speeding up on its own. I managed to apply the brake to stop the vehicle. I checked to see if there was anything near the pedal, like a mat, but there wasn’t. No indicator lights were on. This is the first time the car has exhibited this issue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected but is available for inspection.
I was T boned and my car is totaled, I have a TBI now along with other medical issues because when I was hit no air bags deployed. If air bags would have been deployed my injuries wouldn’t be so bad . Also it’s Brand new. It’s a 2025. I’m the original owner.
Low beam headlights are projected too low and it is difficult to see past ~20ft. Field of vision is significantly decreased (~5ft) on downhills or any significant road slope. No accident has occurred yet but it is very difficult to see ahead in the dark without using high beams; turning on high beams is not appropriate in many situations. Dealership was unable to do anything to align headlights. Potential headlight design flaw such as tolerances or assembly proceedures may have created this problem. This issue is unsafe because low beam light projection provides the driver a field of vision critical for safely driving in the dark. Issue has been present since vehicle purchase in May 25th, 2024.
The car was parked in a garage overnight and the windshield cracked without any reason. The temperature was 71 degrees without rain. The car was purchased 10 days prior to the incident and had no previous rock damage or known defects.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed water dripping on his left hand and noticed water dripping from the driver’s side of the windshield. In addition, the leaking water had entered the driver’s side air bag pillar. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with an unwelded front windshield seam. The contact was informed that the front windshield seam needed to be welded. The vehicle was being repaired. The contact was informed that the failure was due to a manufacturing error. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 350.
The Camry that I bought produced the dash warning message "SRS airbag system malfunction". The dealer in Madison WI examined it and isolated the failure to the passenger side rear sealtbelt sensor. The dealership has held the vehicle for 4 weeks as of today, Oct 18, 2024 and the service dept update states the replacement part isn't expected for another 4 weeks. Obviously I am irritated to not have a quality vehicle to drive after spending nearly $40K. I am officially alerting nhtsa of this problem, Thank you.

1. 9/7/2024, Emergency braking activated at 65 mph while merging onto Interstate. No cars immediately in front of me. Stopped dead in travel route for about 2 minutes then restarted.(route 42 and 95 North) 2. Resulted in a near miss to several rear end collisions. 3. Will take to dealer 9/9/2024. 4. No warning or prior phantom braking.
Hub/bearing issue and replacement and now waiting on the second one and it’s hopefully 🤞 just those ? Was told in Ky alone 59 other cars waiting on this part and that’s just one state. Also another local lot told me there is an internal recall which I have never heard of
)n July 18, 2024 a small foreign item hit the front windshield and shattered the glass. The issue is Toyota has no parts for this car. The glass cannot be located. I cannot get a reasonable solution from Toyota. Case #: 240726000918 (associated case #: 240725002306 & 240731002515). Perhaps there is a issue of safety with this glass. I have 3 other Toyota and never an issue with the front glass.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact stated while driving downhill on a winding road at a slow speed, the motion detection sensors erroneously detected an obstruction in the roadway. Due to the failure, the contact lost control of the vehicle and struck the median at a slow speed. The air bags did not deploy, and there was no injury. The contact was able to disengage the Forward Collision Avoidance feature. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 500.
This is certainly a weird incident that got my passenger side blind spot warning light to stay on solid, even though there was no car or obstacle on my passenger side blind spot. I was driving to pick up my wife at the airport, I was on the right lane and I had all my Toyota Safety Systems 3.0 activated. I was on a highway (65 MPH)when I was approaching to the merging lane, two vehicles were approaching one after another with a very short following distance from one another, my blind spot monitor warning alert came on when the first vehicle got positioned on my blind spot and it seems that when the second vehicle, that was very close to the first vehicle, passed over my blind post again, the warning light got stuck as if the vehicle was still there, causing me to swerve a little bit cause I thought the vehicle was still there. The warning light never came off and whenever I was using the turning signal the automated safety systems thought that there was a vehicle in there and automatically moved my steering wheel to the left side which was dangerous and felt intrusive. after like 20 minutes more driving until I was able to stop the car I shut down the vehicle and waited for about 10 minutes and then restarted again and the warning light disappeared. I was able to record a video of the incident But I am not able to uploaded on the files, because there is no video format upload option.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
