“To the point, trunk will not stay open on incline. Closed on my head while I was going to retrieve items. Called it in and Toyota told me they never heard of this complaint. The local dealer said they can not fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10767329, filed 2015-09, 750 miles“No matter where I park rodents are finding ways to get into my car. I do not keep food in the car and I have done several different things to prevent them getting in. Including moving my car around to places other than my designated covered parking spot.

I purchased this 2012 Toyota camry brand new. …”

NHTSA complaint #10504564, filed 2013-03, 200 miles“Toyota fails to disclose that sunroof has drains designed to discharge water from the top of the vehicle. If one of these drains get clogged (and could happen very easy) water gets inside the vehicle. Water infiltration can start with a very slow amount so the issue is not discovered immediately because underneath the carpet is a material that absorbs this water. Mold can be developed, as well as electrical malfunctions during driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11074516, filed 2018-02“The doors opens when the car is in motion although they are locked. By mistake I pulled the handle when it was in motion and the door opened it t happened on a city street. Toyota employees said that it is normal, but any car should open the doors when it is motion.”
