We paid cash upfront for our vehicle and we no longer feel safe driving it because my wife is pregnant and her safety is extremely important to me. We reached out to Toyota but unfortunately they are ignoring our calls and so far there's no remedy for the defective airbag.

For three consecutive days, while driving on the highway (speed between 50-60 miles per hour, with a speed limit of 60 miles per hour), the car experienced unstable posture, skidding, and sudden severe shaking, as if it were traveling on water, especially frequent on bends! When driving at a lower speed (between 45-60 miles per hour, with a highway speed limit of 65 miles per hour), it feels like driving on a slippery road. The first time this happened, the road surface was normal and not slippery; the second day, the first occurrence was during rain, and I thought it was due to wet road conditions, but the second and especially the third time, the road surface was dry, and there were no wet or slippery road conditions. Today is the third day and the same issue occurred again. Personally, I suspect it may be the result of improper intervention by lane assist functions.This is the first time I've encountered this situation in all my years of driving."

Android Auto is not connecting the first time or disconnecting constantly. creating hazardous situations to frequently stop and re-attempt multiple times to get it to work.

Our 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid is spurting gasoline out of the area where the gas cap is and the gas is flowing down the side of the car. The problem has something to do with overpressurizing the gas tank when the temperature changes outside from cold to warm. This can happen while the car is in motion and creates an explosion risk. On a cold morning if you let the car sit while the temperature rises you can actually video the gas dripping down from the gas cap. I have video of this happening and many photos of the resulting stains on the side of the car. The car is available for inspection. The dealership claims to not be able to reproduce the issue, but they do not deny the video because it's quite obvious. Toyota claims nobody has reported this issue and they only paid the dealership to fix the paint. There's a reddit article about Toyota Camry Hybrid gas ruptures. Everyone is at risk of this defect due to the explosion risk while driving and a cigarette could ignite the gas on the side of the car. The car has been inspect by Lou Fusz Toyota, but they are remiss to do anything to resolve the problem. I have requested a replacement car since ours only has 20,000 miles and is practically new. There were no warning lamps, messages, our only indication of this problem was a strong odor of gasoline, a visible stain down the side of the car often on days with large temperature changes from cold to hot, and the time when I actually took video of it while it was happening back in Ma

There is a recall on my vehicle about the SRS light where it is not picking up the weight of the passenger which in turn is not allowing the passenger airbag to go off.

I received a notice of a recall a couple months ago with a note that there was no remedy as of yet. I have been waiting to schedule the repair and driving the car less. I received another notice also stating there is no remedy but to contact them if any questions. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me to contact the dealership. The dealer ship, when I stated there was a recall on the passenger airbag and I didnt want to drive an unsafe car around, playing russian roulette on the safety equipment if we did get in an accident. The service advisor responded with asking if I drive around in the passenger seat. He then also told me to contact the manufacturer cause they cant do anything. This just happens to be with my Toyota Camry but unfortunately our other car ALSO has an airbag recall for the Driver side ALSO with NO REMEDY! (its a 2016 Buick Enclave) They wont make an appointment to do anything. Nobody seems to want to help me cause I am just the consumer, which means nothing to companies now. I just want my car safe. How can I get assistance getting this fixed?

Light is on indicating that airbags are out

I got a letter saying how certain Toyota models are having issues with their airbags. Why am I going to be paying so much for my car to be unsafe.

This car was rented to me by Hertz and is still in my possession. This was after the most recent recall for 23TA15. I specifically asked Hertz if this recall applied to my vehicle and they stated they would not send out any vehicle with an Open Recall and yet, it turns out this one has the recall on it. They are knowingly rented dangerous vehicles. I have yet to be contacted to return the vehicle to their possession due to the open recall.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF. When opening it jams and starts making a loud popping noise. Others have reported it exploding sending shards of glass everywhere and Toyota refuses to issue a recall/ or fix the problem. They only told me they had no idea others were having this issue. I was 100 miles out of my warranty and they refuse to fix it for less than 10,000.00. This is a safety issue.

When I turn off the LTA switch, it stays on..in other words the steering is affected, and warning beeps sound when I cross into another lane. This is both irritating and dangerous. I brought it in to Orland Toyota for service. The service advisor related that the Technician who worked on it said the computer in the car shows that it’s working properly, and they are going with that. When I protested, he said there is nothing they can do about it..He further said that I would have to turn off the sway warning every time I turn on the car.The service manager told me that cars he drive home every night, sometimes have problems with the LTA. The only entry re this problem on my service receipt is: “Tech: HOUSE TECH (996) Internal”. The problem began right after the vehicle turned 24,000 miles and persists to the present. Thanks for your help..

The recent recall on the 2020-2023 Toyota Highlander’s for the front fender/bumper clips is the same issue I am currently having with my 2021 Toyota Camry. There is potential risk of the bumper or fender falling off in traffic causing a traffic hazard. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I took my vehicle in a few months ago for a different issue(major railroad rust) and had the manager look at the clip issue to see if it would be fixed at the same time, he informed me that is a common issue they see however would need to be scheduled at the body shop and I would pay out of pocket for it. No the component has not been inspected by anyone else other than the manager at the Toyota dealership I purchased the car from.

The passenger side headlight is retaining moisture. Upon further inspection the retaining clips have pulled away and cracked. This causes the headlight to flicker from the moisture inside. Brought the vehicle into Clearwater Toyota in Clearwater, FL and warranty repair was refused with the service manager stating that I was in an accident. I wasn't. Was not repaired by dealer. Opened a claim with Insurance company. Body shop states that it appears to be a manufacturer issue as the screw securing the retaining clip is pushing through the plastic causing it to break.

When parking brake is set, the vehicle will begin to roll if put on an incline.

A portion of the car's hood closest to the windshield is angled downward, which reflects the sun into the driver's eyes. When driving south mid-day, the sun hits this part of the hood and the driver gets a blinding reflection. It's not just when facing the sun directly. When driving toward the sun, as the road bends about 20 degrees one way or the other from head-on the sun's reflection remains, simply moving to another spot on the hood's angled portion.

Driver side front Tire damaged 04/08/2021 bought new one. Second tire damaged on 05/22/2022 bought new one. third tire damaged on 08/24/2022. Luckly all incidents were on low speed. Toyota customer service told me to contact tire manufacturer. firestone said its car rim design.

Glass of sunroof exploded while driving at 60 mph, without external impact. Likely related to heat (about 95F at time of incident). If I did not have the inner plastic roof closed glass pieces would have fallen into the passenger area. The loud bang of the glass breaking was very startling and could have easily caused an unsafe reaction

A couple Monday’s ago, I was backing my 2021 Camry LE out of the driveway when I felt the car lurch and continue in reverse until I crashed into a car down the street. I have literally backed out of that driveway thousands of time since 2006, hundreds of times with the Camry LE, and several times since the accident. I have never had this experience. While I cannot dismiss that I might have hit the accelerator, the backing out of the driveway usually requires that I ride the brake into the street, especially since I am right off the corner where cars tend to cut around quickly. (Initial estimate attached)

To the best of my knowledge the following information is true. The car accident was on June 1, 2022. My vehicle is at the Collision repair shop. Will provide their phone # upon request. It would be great if the black box was checked regarding brake assist and other safety features. You have my permission to examine car, take and or check black box. You can take pictures or video as needed. I always keep the brake assist on. I do not depend on brake assist. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. I usually set my cruise control for the posted speed limit. I looked down briefly and next thing I knew my car hit the personal vehicle in front of me. The vehicle my car hit in the rear was a 2011 Ford Expedition. There was damage to his bumper and it appeared to be a wrinkle in back door. There is a trailer hitch on the Ford Expedition. The driver was only person I talked with. He did not appear to be injured. He did not report any injuries. He drove off as soon as the highway patrolman gave us our exchange information. The airbag cover cut inside my left lower arm above my wrist. Wound was larger than a 50 cent piece. The wound swelled up instantly and was bleeding. I do not think the airbag hit my head. I do know steering wheel airbag is to prevent head injuries. The knee airbag caused an abrasion below my knee. EMS had to bandage my wrist with a thick bandage to stop and control the bleeding. I ask them to bandage below my knee to cover broken skin incase it bleed. The insurance adjust

When I use cruise control with the radar feature in my 2021 Camry LE, the steering loosens so much that I don’t have good control when changing lanes. I feel that this is a serious safety issue. I had a 2018 Camry LE and when I used these features, this odd steering issue never occurred. Note that when I take OFF the radar feature on the 2021, this steering issue does not occur.The dealer checked it out and claims their is no problem with the cruise feature.

Partial brake assist and auto emergency braking failure to engage contributed to a rear end collision on February 12, 2022. Toyota contracted with an outside engineering firm to inspect brake system and their report did not address the lack of engagement of the auto emergency braking system part of Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 which the enabling switch does not activate. The Toyota Legal Claims department issued an incomplete report that they claim absolves the vehicle but after multiple attempts to reach the issuing department noone has addressed my questions or concerns. Therefore I consider this an incomplete and unresolved safety issue .

Update to previous Complaint filingNHTSA ID Number: 11451933 . Toyota has not accepted responsibility yet acknowledged that the ABS "worked" when the problem was that the Auto Emergency Braking system did not work . In addition a Toyota dealer service employee drove the car and agreed the brake pedal was abnormal. This malfunction resulted in an accident with no injuries but has caused the driver to be in constant fear of driving this vehicle again. We have 2 years left on the lease and will never buy another Toyota product again based on their history of concealing defects (fined in 2014 by DOJ) and their lack of proper customer satisfaction management in this case.
