Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On 5 separate occasions the brake pedal went almost completely to the floor board when trying to stop. I had to pump the brakes 2 to 3 times to build pressure to come to a stop. I've taken it to the dealer several times, only for them to tell me they can't duplicate my concerns. Even though I told them it happens randomly. It's not something that can be easily duplicated. This is a vehicle that I'm afraid to drive. For my safety, my passengers and for the general public on the road”
NHTSA complaint #11404584, filed 2021-03, 2,000 miles“I have a 2019 Toyota Camry hybrid le which purchased as brand new. After 2-3 months of driving, I noticed that at low speeds and particularly when the road is very flat if the car hits any kind of pothole or bump, there is a grinding noise coming from the front breaks (or maybe the CVT gears engaging for regenerative breaking) and sometimes even the ABS light starts shining in the dashboard. This is not easily replicable but it's most likely to happen when slowing down behind a stop sign or red light. …”
NHTSA complaint #11324156, filed 2020-05, 9,000 miles“Since I bought my 2019 Camry in september of 2019. On 5 different occasions when I applied the brakes. The brake pedal went almost completely to the floorboard. I had to pump the brake pedal several times to build pressure to stop. It's happened twice on the highway and 3 times on city streets. I've taken it in to the dealership multiple times. Only for them to tell me they can't duplicate my concerns. I've stated to them every time that it happens randomly while I'm driving. It's not something that can be easily duplicated.”
NHTSA complaint #11404595, filed 2021-03, 2,000 miles“My Toyota Camry 2019 (vehicle 1) was hit by the vehicle coming in opposite direction and trying to take left turn at full speed.
