Example complaints

Brakes: “I was driving to work in my 2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid le. It was early morning rush hour traffic. Roads were wet. Traffic was stop and go. I was probably going about 20 MPH when vehicle in front of me stopped. I applied my brakes but my vehicle did not stop. I hit rear of vehicle in front of me. I did not feel my brakes engage. I was more than a safe stopping distance from vehicle in front of me.”

NHTSA complaint #10794987, filed 2015-11, 59,000 miles

Steering: “I have noticed that while traveling on the highway, the vehicle sways mostly towards the left. At first I thought it was just me, getting used to the new car. Now I notice it happens all the time. I am constantly correcting the vehicle to remain centered in my lane of travel.”

NHTSA complaint #10544465, filed 2013-09, 300 miles

Electrical system: “Driving slowly, straight ahead, city street, right passenger mirror exploded with a big bang. Looking inside, plastic linkages that link the mirror to the adjustment motor assembly were broken. Lane assist leds continued to work but the mirror, hanging loose from its shroud, was useless. I hadn't adjusted the mirror in months.. Car was 1 month out of warranty - parts and labor to replace ~$400. Googling I discovered I'm not the first person to have this problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10871098, filed 2016-05, 23,000 miles

Body and structure: “Each time we open the trunk to the Camry Hybrid, it wants to come down on your head. It's a danger to anyone who opens it. We now regret buying our first Toyota. No telling what else is going to go wrong with the car. We thought that Toyota had finally fixed all of the problems with their vehicles, however; it looks like new ones keep popping up. We really like the look and mpg of the camry but, now we just want to get rid of it.”
