“We bought our 2023 Camry brand new off the lot and had no idea until the first rainstorm we were in that there was an issue with the wiper motor. Anytime there is moderate to hard rainfall and we turn the wipers on high they run at a low speed causing poor to no visibility. We have to pull over every time wait out the rain. We’ve mentioned our concern many times to the dealership where we have our Toyotas serviced and they just tell us they don’t see a recall for this problem. …”

“The windshield has a haze that appears to reduce visibility when it’s raining. I have also noticed little cracks in the windshield with no known incidents of debris hitting the windshield. I’ve only had this vehicle for 3 months”

“The windshield wipers go wayyyyy to slow for heavy rain. I live in Florida so the rain is basically unpredictable. The wipers on the highest setting possible is medium to light speed to other cars. It is very dangerous in rain at all. I don’t feel safe driving in any kind of rain with how slow the wipers are because of the almost no visibility of the road. There are many others that I have reached out that are having the same issue and have been for years. Please get this recalled and fixed!! Let’s keep people safer when driving in the rain.”

The contact later discovered that the front passenger’s side carpet was wet from rainwater coming from the undercarriage of the vehicle. The carpets were replaced. The cause of the failure was unknown. The contact indicated that the front windshield glass had cracked on several occasions, although no objects had struck the windshield. Additionally, the Lane Departure feature had become inoperable. …”
