Example complaints
Brakes: “I have noticed lately that when I depress my brake pedal, it starts to slow the car down, but suddenly disengages and I have to depress much harder. It's almost like the brakes let go. I know there is an issue with earlier models and their brakes, is it possible it would extend to 2012 camry hybrids?”
NHTSA complaint #10562196, filed 2014-01, 52,500 milesBody and structure: “Three of the four door lock actuators have failed. The failures begin intermittently and then result in total failure. The front driver side door and rear driver side door have totally failed. The rear passenger door now intermittently fails. Toyota indicated that they have no recalls or extended warranties. Internet searches show that multiple Toyota models have this as a common failure. This poses a significant safety issue as the door locks do not respond to the electrical unlock / lock button and do not respond to the remote. …”

While driving approximately 40 MPH and attempting to engage the brakes, the brakes malfunctioned causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle.

The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 71,350.”
