“Car front grill design is so poor that damage caused by normal road debris already punctured my AC condense leaking freon / AC coolant to release in to environment /harming environment as well as increasing repair cost. 2 times in last 6 months I have relapsed my front AC condenser due to stick of wood or pebble going through front grill easily and puncturing.”
NHTSA complaint #11131525, filed 2018-09, 10,000 miles“While driving my 2018 Toyota Camry, a deer ran in front of the car causing a serious accident. Two airbags deployed. I saw a fire flash from the steering wheel airbag and received a serious burn on my arm. My jacket sleeve melted as well. It's been over a week, and the burn has still not healed. So thankful my eyes were not burned!”
NHTSA complaint #11163259, filed 2018-12, 10,000 miles“I was so excited about this car, until I got this car. We have had nothing but problems since signing out contract. The under shield of the car is falling/dropping which is constantly breaking off and falling out behind us which is potentially dangerous to others as well. Makes the whole car shake like crazy when driving higher speeds. I am constantly having to get down on the ground in mid winter and try to dig the snow, slush and ice out from inbetween the shield and the car itself. …”
NHTSA complaint #11399326, filed 2021-03, 60 miles“The transmission shift erratically, when cruising at a constant speed the transmission jerks. It feels like it down shift then up shifted, this happens a few of times a week Toyota says this is normal in 4 cylinder, but this is not normal behavior I have 2013 Camry with no such issue. The most annoying, both the driver side and passenger side doors sound hollow and make a loud banging sound when shutting the doors. They sound like metal banging or hollow tin cans. When I searched online I found that the adhesive on the door skin could be bad causing the metal thumping sound. …”
NHTSA complaint #11255744, filed 2019-09, 20,500 miles“Takata recall the front axle breaks when driving on a city street (not turning but the steering wheel is slightly right) with a speed of about 25-30 MPH and the right front tire went off the vehicle with both right front and right rear tires burst. Not sure if the car hits the curb first or the axle or flat tire happened first.”
