SEATS
I am reporting an issue with the driver seat in my 2025 Toyota Camry. The seat exhibits abnormal movement, shifting, instability, and popping sensations in the seatback area during normal driving conditions. The issue feels like looseness or movement of internal seat components and creates a distraction and potential safety concern while operating the vehicle. I brought the vehicle to a Toyota dealership for inspection. The dealership acknowledged the issue and opened a TAS (Technical Assistance System) case with Toyota Motor Corporation. An attempted repair and inspection were performed; however, the issue still persists. After researching online owner forums and discussions, I found multiple reports from other Toyota Camry owners describing similar driver seat problems, suggesting this may not be an isolated incident. The ongoing seat movement negatively affects driver confidence and comfort and may create a safety risk by distracting the driver or altering seating position while driving.

SEATS
The driver seat pops and shifts around unexpectedly when driving. It feels like I am going to loose control of the vehicle as I have to adjust my seating position while the car is in motion. And this movement is very distracting. Visited dealership twice already and dealer says this is common issue with new 2025/2026 Camry.

SEATS
The driver’s seat backrest (lumbar support area) constantly pops and shifts (makes physical movement) while accelerating, braking, going over bumps, and when making body adjustments. I have already visited the Toyota dealership five times for this defect, but Toyota has been unable to fix the issue. The Toyota dealer first replaced the lumbar support, and subsequent attempts involved temporary measures such as installing foam and felt tape, but the defect still persists. A Toyota dealer technician mentioned that the “seat lumbar is shifting around on the metal support rail.” The popping and shifting sensation has gotten worse since last year. This is very distracting and has nearly caused an accident when felt during braking. As seen on many online forums, a lot of 2025 Camry owners (the first redesign year) are experiencing this issue, but Toyota is trying to sweep it under the rug by claiming this is a normal vehicle characteristic instead of releasing an updated or redesigned lumbar support. A driver’s seat that physically shifts and pops while driving is a safety issue.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
On April 28 at 9:35AM I was exiting the parking lot in my 2025 Toyota Camry and I experienced a sudden and unintended surge of acceleration. My foot was not on the accelerator. I was coasting with foot off accelerator to exit parking lot at a speed of under 8mph when the car suddenly jerked forward and surged to 30mph. The car came to a sudden stop in the middle of the road after running stop sign and exiting the parking lot without driver input. I was jerked forward after driving very fast over a very large curb.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle has encountered repeated hybrid system and battery-related issues. Symptoms have included stalling, sudden loss of power, hybrid warning messages, charging/battery malfunction warnings, electrical system irregularities, and unsafe driving behavior. The exact root cause is currently UNKNOWN. However, based on the recurring issues and vehicle behavior, the concern appears related to the hybrid battery and/or associated electrical systems. The condition has affected the vehicle’s reliability and safe operation.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Upon shifting into reverse, the rearview camera system failed to provide a usable image, displaying only a solid white screen. This total loss of visibility occurred without warning and is a direct non-compliance with FMVSS 111. This failure mode is consistent with the Parking Assist ECU software errors currently being investigated and recalled under NHTSA 25V-744 for 2025 Toyota vehicles. The lack of a functioning rearview image directly resulted in a collision

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
1.The driver-side bumper/bumper cover and/or bumper attachment clips, brackets, or mounting points failed or malfunctioned. The bumper was protruding on the driver’s side and was not staying properly secured to the vehicle. Repairs have already been completed by an independent auto body shop. I have repair documentation, photos, and/or invoices available to support the complaint. 2.My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the bumper was protruding and not properly secured on the driver’s side. I was concerned that the bumper could become further detached while driving, especially at highway speeds, creating a road hazard for other drivers or pedestrians. The protruding bumper could also affect the vehicle’s exterior safety structure, cause distraction while driving, or worsen if the vehicle hit a bump, pothole, or experienced normal road vibration. 3.Yes. The problem was confirmed by an independent auto body shop. They inspected the bumper issue and repaired it. I was also advised by the shop that they have seen similar issues with Toyota bumpers and that this appears to be a common problem. The repair cost was approximately $1,000 out of pocket. 4. The vehicle/component was inspected by an independent auto body shop. To my knowledge, it has not yet been inspected by Toyota, police, or insurance representatives. I am filing this complaint so the issue can be documented and reviewed as a possible safety or manufacturing-related concern. 5.There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages related to this issue. The main symptom was visible: the bumper began protruding on the driver’s side and was not staying properly attached. I first noticed the issue on or around June 10, 2025. The condition appeared to worsen or remain unresolved until I had it repaired by an independent auto body shop. I am filing this complaint regarding a bumper issue on my Toyota vehicle. The driver-side bumper/bumper cover began protruding and was not staying properly

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While pulling out of my driveway, I heard a loud popping sound. Immediately afterward, there was a burning plastic-type odor. At that time, there were no visible signs of damage, no warning lights on the dashboard, and the vehicle appeared to be operating normally. Later that day, while driving, I noticed a shimmering effect in the bottom right corner of the windshield that caught my attention. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the windshield had cracked. It appeared that the earlier popping sound was caused by the initial crack, which was now beginning to spread. I took the vehicle to the dealership that same afternoon to have the issue documented. The technician on duty inspected the windshield, along with a sales advisor and my original salesperson, who was present at the time. The following day, I returned to the dealership, where the service director examined the windshield and found no evidence of impact damage. I was then instructed to bring the vehicle back for evaluation by an official manufacturer representative. After a visual inspection by the Toyota rep, I was informed that the damage would not be covered under warranty. This was over a month after I initially reported the issue and the crack had spread much further by that point. The windshield appears to have broken spontaneously, yet the manufacturer has declined to repair or replace it under warranty coverage. The damage came from the interior portion of the glass which seems like a manufacturing defect.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The radio/audio system has twice stopped working completely during travel--without warning--which is a safety issue since no emergency alerts can be received. The outage cannot be fixed by turning off the radio or any known practical intervention while the vehicle is moving. Audio reading of incoming text messages also fails. AM/FM/SiriusXM are all affected. Audio resumes at the next vehicle start-up. The vehicle is available for inspection. Safety is compromised since emergency alerts may be missed during these complete audio outages. Due to the randomness of the audio outages, independent confirmation has not been practical to date. No inspection by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others has been requested or yet occurred. Other than the abrupt audio cut-off, no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure have been observed. Thank you.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2025 Toyota Camry. The vehicle was an IAA auction sale. The contact stated that upon purchasing and picking up the vehicle from the auction dealer, the contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD reader to clear the check engine warning lights, and the odometer reading changed from 6,000 to 54,000 miles. The contact discovered the mileage discrepancy while the vehicle was still at the auction lot. The dealer was notified, but no assistance was provided. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 6,000, but it was later discovered that the mileage was 54,000 upon scanning the vehicle.

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On [XXX], I turned on the driver's seat heater. It started on the high setting. In a very short time the heat became extremely uncomfortable and I shut it off. However, the seat continued to release high amounts of heat which resulted in a burn after a few minutes before I could stop and exit the car. The backs of my thighs, my buttocks, my pereneum and part of my scrotum were burned. I saw my primary care doctor the next day and she confirmed it was a first degree burn. She prescribed supplements to help the skin to heal. Last week I saw a dermatologist to see if the skin was healing properly. He said it was but will take more time. It is today April 13, and I still have some discomfort while sitting. It has taken a long time for the inner layers of skin that were damaged to repair itself. I am [XXX] but not diabetic. I intend to have the fuse for the seat heater removed tomorrow so this never happens again. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STRUCTURE:BODY
2025 Camry front bumper popping out underneath driver side headlamp. It is a known issue by Toyota though they won't acknowledge it. It is widely considered a warranty issue, though some owners face resistance from dealers. Temporary fixes include re-aligning clips, while permanent solutions often require bracket replacements or professional body shop intervention. 2 dealerships have looked at it. One referred me to a body shop and the other said it would involve me replacing the headlamp. Clip is still intact, but it won't grab onto the tab under headlamp.

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
On March 2, 2026, the airbag warning light and seat belt warning light suddenly illuminated on my vehicle’s dashboard. This issue is extremely concerning, as it directly affects critical safety systems designed to protect occupants in the event of a crash. I immediately took the vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealership for inspection. However, the dealership refused to repair the issue under the manufacturer’s warranty, claiming that the problem was caused by “physical damage.” I strongly dispute this claim, as no accident, impact, or misuse occurred that could justify such damage. As a result, I was pressured into paying for the repair out of pocket, despite this being a brand-new vehicle and a clear safety-related malfunction. I also contacted Toyota Motor North America to escalate the issue. Unfortunately, they declined to provide assistance or override the dealership’s decision, leaving me without proper support. I believe this situation raises serious safety concerns that may affect not only my vehicle but potentially other vehicles of the same model. A malfunction involving the airbag and seat belt systems could significantly increase the risk of injury or death in the event of an accident. For this reason, I respectfully request that the NHTSA: •Investigate this issue for potential defects in the 2025 Toyota Camry •Determine whether a recall or further safety action is necessary •Review the manufacturer’s and dealership’s handling of this safety concern That dealership was Hudson Toyota service centre which is located in jersey city New Jersey ,07305. I am submitting this complaint in the interest of public safety and to prevent potential harm to other drivers. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
In multiple instances, the windshield has cracked and spread so quickly that the windshield requirement a replacement for it to be safe to drive. 2 times the cracks appeared with the no indication as to what may have caused them, and the other 2 times I could hear a rock chip, but could not see the rock. Any repair attempts to the windshield have resulted in failure and required a replacement instead. The cracks spread nearly instantly after the initial crack. I have replaced this 3 times so far, totaling around $2500 dollars in repairs. With the most recent crack, it has spread 6 inches within 20 minutes of the initial crack, and will likely require replacement for the car to be safe to drive. There must be some sort of issue with the glass build quality or structural integrity. I have had 4 cracked windshields in less than two years.

An explosion bursted out on my panoramic glass rooftop while I was driving at normal subdivisional speed at 25 - 30 mpg. The rooftop shattered spontaneously without impact. Took the vehicle to Toyota dealership where bought from. The advisor in service thought it is weird as the edges of the big hole on rooftop are convex. However they decided it shall hit by other objects Showed to insurance claim shop, the service man handles numerous similar claims said it is not like hit by flying objects. The shattered glass debris will cause an extreme distraction while driving and may cause other incidents.
