What owners report

Most complaints for this model year come from very low-mileage cars, and much of what owners describe is trim and accessory-level rather than powertrain: front bumper covers that work loose near the headlights, cracking windshields, noisy or slow wipers, and seat backs that pop or lose padding. A second cluster concerns driver-assist electronics — adaptive cruise braking unexpectedly, dashboard and center screens going blank, and warning lights. A smaller group of owners report oil-level warnings that persist while the dipstick reads full, and hybrid stalling at walking speeds.

  1. Body and structure

    Front bumper cover separates under the headlights

    • 23 complaints (13%)
    • median 4,853 mi at 1.3 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
    • 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
    • filed 2025–2026

    Owners describe the front bumper cover pulling away from the fender and headlight area on one or both sides, leaving a visible gap that often returns after the bumper is pushed back into place. Complaints say dealers acknowledge the condition and reseat or replace clips, and in some cases send the car to a body shop or replace the bumper, but the separation comes back. Several reports note that the mounting tabs or brackets below the headlights do not hold the cover. Typically reported within the first several thousand miles, often noticed while parked or after routine driving.

    What to check: Look closely at the gap between the bumper cover and both fenders under the headlights, and ask whether any clip or bracket repair has already been done.

    2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

    “The front bumper on my 2025 Toyota Camry continues to shift and separate after driving, despite being repaired twice following a low-impact collision in which another vehicle backed into me. This issue has persisted even after two separate body shops (including a State Farm in-network provider) performed repairs. A third attempt is underway, but the problem remains unresolved. …”

    NHTSA complaint #11672234, filed 2025-07

    “I purchased this vehicle on March 14, 2026. On June 2, 2026, I reported to the dealership that the front bumper cover was beginning to separate from the vehicle near the headlights. The bumper appears to be inadequately supported because the plastic mounting brackets beneath the headlights do not provide sufficient structural support for the weight of the bumper cover. The dealership acknowledged the issue and sent my vehicle to its collision repair facility on June 23, 2026. …”

  2. Forward collision avoidance

    Adaptive cruise and driver-assist braking unexpectedly

    • 55 complaints (31%)
    • median 5,750 mi at 0.9 yrs old (8 state mileage, few)
    • 10 mention a crash, fire or injury
    • filed 2024–2026

    Owners describe adaptive cruise control braking on its own when it should not, for example when cars sit in a left-turn lane or are parked along the road, or briefly failing to re-engage after being cancelled. Related complaints describe the system misreading road signs or detecting an obstruction that is not there, and a few report dashboard messages about brake or collision system malfunctions. Some owners also report the center display or instrument panel going blank, which removes the backup camera image. Often reported within the first few hundred to a few thousand miles, in town driving, divided highways and winding roads.

    Recall 25V744000Recall 25V595000

    What to check: Test adaptive cruise on a divided road with turn lanes and parked cars, and confirm with the dealer whether the instrument panel and rearview camera software updates from the open recalls have been applied.

    2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

    “System operates normally on initial speed setting, when the brake pedal is applied which cancels the cruise control (which is normal) problem arises when resetting the cruise control, by pressing the + R in order to re-set the cruise control, nothing happens, so I have to press the button again to re-engage the system. The problem is intermittent but it always seems to happen when there is a car behind me.”

    NHTSA complaint #11762260, filed 2026-09

    “Issue #1: When driving the vehicle, the center display will stop working, audio and other functions remain working, however there is no display, including when the vehicle is in reverse, resulting in a loss of visibility when backing due to the camera not being displayed, this presents a safety issue as a safety feature (the reverse camera) is not working. …”

  3. Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors)

    Windshield cracks without an impact

    • 13 complaints (7%)
    • median 39,050 mi at 1.0 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
    • filed 2024–2026

    Complaints describe windshields cracking or fracturing with no rock strike or object impact, sometimes starting at an edge or near the rearview mirror and then spreading across the glass. Owners report being told by the dealer that glass is not covered or that it is not a manufacturing issue, and some mention replacement glass being on back order. A few also describe stress cracks appearing around the bonded perimeter or after a car wash. Reported from a few hundred miles up to around 15,000 miles, often noticed after the car sat or after temperature or weather changes.

    What to check: Inspect the glass edges and the area around the rearview mirror for hairline cracks, and ask whether the windshield has been replaced.

    2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

    “The front windshield has a large crack from the top middle to the middle left on the passenger’s side. I didn’t notice anything hit it, just got in the car and it was there. It is available for inspection, but with the length of the crack I don’t feel safe driving it. I’ve read reviews online that the new Camry’s windshield is a faulty. Can you please look into this?”

    NHTSA complaint #11660395, filed 2025-05

    “On May 20, 2026, at approximately 14,600 miles, I discovered a stress fracture in the windshield of my 2025 Toyota Camry XSE immediately after going through an automated car wash. There were no prior warning signs, unusual sounds, or visible stress marks before the crack appeared. …”

    NHTSA complaint #11742270, filed 2026-06
  4. Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors)

    Windshield wipers streak, run slow or won't park

    • 6 complaints (3%)
    • median 1,500 mi at 0.4 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
    • filed 2025–2026

    Complaints describe wiper blades streaking across the driver's field of view, wiper noise, and wiper speed that owners consider too slow for heavy rain even on the high setting. One owner reports ice building on the blades in freezing rain and the wipers stopping mid-stroke rather than returning to the parked position, and another notes the driver's side arm cannot be lifted away from the glass. Owners say the dealer replaced wipers, arms or the windshield without resolving it, or described the behavior as normal for the model. Reported at low mileage, from a few thousand miles up, and often tied to rain, ice or car washes.

    What to check: Run the wipers at every speed setting, including in a car wash or with water on the glass, and check that they park correctly and that the arms can be lifted.

    2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

    “Wiper blades motor is way too slow. This is on high and dangerously to slow to operate my vehicle in semi heavy rainfall. All my other vehicles are way faster. The 2025 hybrid is the unsafest to drive in rain. Online many have stated same issues. One owner mentioned coming here to report it.”

    NHTSA complaint #11700703, filed 2025-11

    “I have had the windshield, windshield wipers, and the wiper arms replaced on my car. The wipers streak the windshield in the field of vision. Claim was opened with toyota toyota stated that this is a common characteristic in that model of car.”

    NHTSA complaint #11769403, filed 2026-10

Buying note. Check the front bumper fitment, windshield condition, wiper operation and both front seat backs on any example you look at, since those are the most frequently described items; ask for proof that the open instrument panel and rearview camera recall software has been installed.

Example complaints

Other or unknown: “When I drove my car earlier the car audio was maximum because I was listening to something quiet. Later that day I went to start a video that was much much louder. The sound blasted for a couple of seconds and my ears really hurt. I do not believe at this time that I have permanent damage but it is very painful. Cars should not start with the audio at maximum volume, this is a real safety hazard.”

NHTSA complaint #11756030, filed 2026-08

Body and structure: “The plastic clips/brackets that hold the front bumper on just below the headlights keep coming out. This causes a large gap under the headlights. Not sure if possibly the whole front bumper will fall off in front of car while driving. The brackets on both sides on my car will not hold. I can push the bumper up to engage and the clips just pop right back out of bracket. This is a design flaw the Toyota should take responsibility for. I pointed the issue out at the dealership and they want to ignore it.”

NHTSA complaint #11765438, filed 2026-09

Electrical system: “Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2025 Toyota Camry. The vehicle was an IAA auction sale. The contact stated that upon purchasing and picking up the vehicle from the auction dealer, the contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD reader to clear the check engine warning lights, and the odometer reading changed from 6,000 to 54,000 miles. The contact discovered the mileage discrepancy while the vehicle was still at the auction lot. The dealer was notified, but no assistance was provided. …”

NHTSA complaint #11731152, filed 2026-04, 54,000 miles

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Driver side windshield wiper constantly streaks on the return stroke despite replacing the wiper blades several times. This creates difficulty seeing when raining. I have tried several different brands (including Toyota OEM) wiper blades and they ALL streak on the driver side directly in the line of sight. This apparently is a known issue and I would like it fixed but the dealer will not do anything about it.”
