“Stop with traffic in front. Car hits me into traffic from be hind vary fast damage to front and back swashed my car. Air bags did not go off for a fast hit front and back all at the same bag. That is what making me scared of being in the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10660250, filed 2014-11, 27,000 miles“The head lights on high beam have gone out while driving, low beam works but very scary driving and lights just go out. Now only low beam works just wondering when they might go out while driving. Did some investigating to see how to fix and noticed that I am far from being alone on this one. When is someone going to step up and make Toyota make this right with owners. Since the only fix seams to be replacing whole head light assembly at 2400.00 a pair !!! Because replacing bulb will just blow out again and again . Ran my VIN number no current recall this is a bunch of bull.”
NHTSA complaint #10783185, filed 2015-10, 65,000 miles“Both front headlamp lenses have film buildup inside the projector housing causing headlight low beam to be dull and not enough output lumens. Unable to clean. Requiring replacement headlights. Driving at night was almost impossible! Very expensive to replace $1318.68. Dealership recommended that I call national customer service but they did not offer any financial help even though this is probably a design flaw. There are lots of other complaints online about same issues with Camry,”
NHTSA complaint #11191684, filed 2019-03, 93,565 miles“2010 Camry le when you are driving at night and you go over even a slight drip in the road/hill the front headlights only light up the road for approx 15 feet. Once you get on a level road the light appear to perform properly.”
NHTSA complaint #10282644, filed 2009-09, 250 miles“I was stopped at a stop light behind a 2010 Toyota Camry. The LED brake lights are so intense on that car that my retina's were red saturated. When the stoplight turned green I looked at my dash and the yellow maintenance light appeared green. This color saturation lasted a least 1 minute. This means that a yellow stop light would appear green and that a green light would appear yellow. There is no reason for this level of intensity such that my retina is saturated while stopped 5 feet behind a car in front of me.”
