Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My airbag light turned on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the HVAC system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out. This was because the drain from the HVAC system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed. Instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit. This exact problem was recalled on other model years of Toyota camrys.”

I can't tell how much gas is in my tank, and this has result me without gas on a busy highway, it is really a safety hazard. Please recall.”

My alternator needs replacement, which is very disappointing because the car only has 84,000 miles on it and has been very well maintained and serviced regularly. I purchased a new battery about 2 months ago, and the alternator replacement quote from the Toyota dealership where my family purchased the car new is quoting $1,245 for a new alternator (parts & labor). …”
NHTSA complaint #11165662, filed 2019-01, 84,000 miles“On 2 occasions while driving at speed (65-70 MPH) in traffic on a major interstate, my car lost power (it did not cut off--only lost power). After working my way off of the interstate hwy., I was able to use a code reader and found that diagnostic trouble code p2112 had been set (throttle actuator control system-stuck closed). After erasing the DTC the car ran ok. This has happened twice--once on 02/16/2017 (mileage 75,465) and a second time on 04/10/2017 (mileage 75,829). …”
NHTSA complaint #10971915, filed 2017-04, 75,465 miles“I own a 2010 Toyota Camry. I was told by one dealership that my car is not affected. I was told by another dealership that my car is included in the accelerator recall. First, when I put the keys in my car and start it, it will start to accelerate to 2000 rpms for 30 secs to a minute before going below 1000rpms. Also, when I drive around town, the car will remain accelerated even after I take my foot off of the gas pedal or even after I take my foot off the brake. …”
