Owner Complaints (15)
Your car suddenly started shuddering hard while driving, and when you restarted it, it would only move in reverse but not forward. The Toyota dealership quoted you almost $8,000 for a full transmission replacement without performing diagnostic testing, and they indicated they may not even be able to source the part. This leaves you unable to drive a vehicle you're still financing.

Your panoramic sunroof won't fully close and stays in a tilted position. You're concerned about safety while driving and parking, worried the sunroof might shatter from strange noises it makes, and stressed about the cost of repairs. Getting the sunroof fully inspected and repaired by a dealer or mechanic would involve diagnosing why the sunroof mechanism is stuck and replacing or repairing the faulty components.

Your panoramic sunroof occasionally gets stuck in the open position and makes a clicking sound when operating, even though you rarely use it. Multiple owners report this same issue online, but dealerships deny awareness of it and quote repairs costing $7,000 or more to replace the entire roof assembly. The fix will likely involve replacing the sunroof motor, track assembly, or other internal components.

Your windshield has multiple rock chips and pitting throughout that create glare in sunlight and impair your visibility while driving. A glass shop confirmed the damage cannot be repaired and requires full replacement. Additionally, you discovered the vehicle came with tires rated for a lower speed than required for your car, which you replaced at your own expense. The dealership has refused to address either issue despite these being undisclosed problems from the sale. Resolving this will require a windshield replacement and potentially reimbursement for the correct tires you purchased.

Your 2021 Toyota Camry has sensors in the front passenger seat that detect whether someone is sitting there — these sensors may not have been made correctly at the factory. This could affect how the airbag system works for the passenger seat. You haven't received a recall notice about this issue yet, but Toyota may need to inspect or replace these sensors.

For three consecutive days, while driving on the highway (speed between 50-60 miles per hour, with a speed limit of 60 miles per hour), the car experienced unstable posture, skidding, and sudden severe shaking, as if it were traveling on water, especially frequent on bends! When driving at a lower speed (between 45-60 miles per hour, with a highway speed limit of 65 miles per hour), it feels like driving on a slippery road. The first time this happened, the road surface was normal and not slippery; the second day, the first occurrence was during rain, and I thought it was due to wet road conditions, but the second and especially the third time, the road surface was dry, and there were no wet or slippery road conditions. Today is the third day and the same issue occurred again. Personally, I suspect it may be the result of improper intervention by lane assist functions.This is the first time I've encountered this situation in all my years of driving."
Android Auto is not connecting the first time or disconnecting constantly. creating hazardous situations to frequently stop and re-attempt multiple times to get it to work.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF. When opening it jams and starts making a loud popping noise. Others have reported it exploding sending shards of glass everywhere and Toyota refuses to issue a recall/ or fix the problem. They only told me they had no idea others were having this issue. I was 100 miles out of my warranty and they refuse to fix it for less than 10,000.00. This is a safety issue.

My 2021 Camry XLE Hybrid spontaneously developed a crack in the windshield. It reaches from the top edge on the passenger side and extends around the area of the mirror attachment towards the driver side. It is approximately 20 inches in length. There was no impact, nothing hit the windshield and there are no signs of any damage. It happened while the car was in my garage while i was away traveling.
Check engine light on. When I put my 2021 Toyota Camry in drive car jerks and check engine light goes on. Happened today.
Glass of sunroof exploded while driving at 60 mph, without external impact. Likely related to heat (about 95F at time of incident). If I did not have the inner plastic roof closed glass pieces would have fallen into the passenger area. The loud bang of the glass breaking was very startling and could have easily caused an unsafe reaction
My son hit a tree at an estimated speed of 45 (As estimated by the accident report) and the car went in flame burning completely my son and the entire inside of the car. I am amazed at a new car that does not have enough front crash support and most important the fuel pump should have shut off due to hitting the front to prevent the car from being burned. Yes, my son died in the accident but we did not have the chance to see him because of the fire, we have only bones to bury.
