Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2016 Toyota 4Runner at 143,011 miles. When it hit 125,000 mile mark the backup camera stopped working intermittently. The screen in the car goes blank. Turning the car on/off or changing gears does not affect this issue. It’s random and seems to becoming more frequent as more miles are put on. I will take it in however when I called them they said since it’s not a known issue I will have to replace it and it’s not cheap!”

NHTSA complaint #11698672, filed 2025-11
