VISIBILITY/WIPER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, SEATS
Driver seat feels like something is loose in the back and is popping randomly almost like somebody’s kicking you in the back. It can be very distracting while driving. This happened on the 2026LE I had that I turned in because of that problem. I’ve had it seen several times by the dealership for this issue and there’s no solution. There’s also an issue with the wiper blades going extremely too slow for rain, especially in South Florida with weather that includes torrential downpour. You cannot safely see even at full speed wiper. This may seem like a time in which you should just pull over, but I was born and raised driving in South Florida in the rain and I’ve had multiple vehicles that I’ve never had this issue before. Electronic system can be fidgety. The rear cross traffic warning stopped working. I was not aware and did not realize I had somebody in close proximity that could happen accidentally hit.

Everytime I break and accelerate there’s a popping noise coming from the middle back part of the driver seat. I took it to a Toyota dealerships and they drove it and it did the same thing. And all they could do was tell me wait until there’s a recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, POWER TRAIN
While actively moving at highway speeds on July 13, 2026, the vehicle suffered an instantant, total loss of all 12V electrical auxiliary power. The dashboard flashed 'Hybrid System Malfunction' and 'Drive-Start Control Malfunction' before all digital instrument clusters, center infotainment displays, and cabin lights went completely dark. Power steering and braking assist dropped to emergency backup thresholds, creating an extreme safety hazard. The vehicle was moved to a dealership where it has remained disabled for 17 days waiting on factory engineering guidance.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Annotated § 55-24-101 et seq. that my 2026 Toyota Camry is a "lemon" due to a substantial safety defect that remains unremedied. Specifically, the vehicle is subject to a safety recall regarding "loss of drive power while driving at higher speeds or a vehicle fire could increase the risk of a crash or an injury.", which substantially impairs the safety and use of the vehicle. As of the date of this letter, my vehicle has been out of service for 30 calendar days because the authorized dealer, Capital Toyota, has informed me there is "no remedy" available to safely repair the vehicle. I am hereby requesting that Toyota provide a full refund of the purchase price, $32,799, or a comparable replacement vehicle. Please contact me within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter to coordinate the resolution of this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] Toyota Motor replied they just going to fix it when it becomes available INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
This is a manufacturer safety recall (NHTSA #25V869) for a loose bolt inside the hybrid inverter that could cause loss of motive power or a vehicle fire. The vehicle was sold to me as new with the recall already open and unrepaired. As of this date, Toyota has not made the remedy available, more than 6 months after the recall was announced. I am concerned about driving the vehicle given the fire/power-loss risk described in the official recall notice.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The brushed aluminum sport PEDALS remains slippery when it rains and during snow conditions in 2025, worst snow seasons. It doesn’t have enough slip rubber studs covering and its anti slip functionality remains unsafe for drivers. How can you help us fix this problem?

Passenger seat constantly popping when braking or accelerating. You can also feel a large bag in the lower lumbar area. All very uncomfortable for what I thought would be the best car we have ever owned. Very disappointed in Toyota, as seat popping happened in 2025 models too

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had just bought the car from the Dealer and was to drive it back home. I got about 30 miles from the Dealership and the check engine light came on. It stated malfunction in the awd system so now on two wheel drive then it stated start control malfunction and finally hybrid system malfunction. I returned it to the dealership and they said that the first diagnostic stated it was throwing high voltage. Looking on line when I got home I noticed the recall of many Toyota camrys for the loose bolt causing this issue and there is yet to be a fix for it. The manufacturer should take all those cars back so they cannot be sold and cause a risk till they can fix it. It makes a dealership look bad and puts innocent people at risk if they are not aware of the issue.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I bought this Camry and then my insurance notified me there was an open safety recall. When I saw there was a risk of fire, I took it straight to the Toyota dealership where it is now sitting with no remedy for the recall available. This recall started in December 2025 and it is now July 2026. I can’t even drive the new car I bought and am in a loaner from Toyota.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On [XXX], I purchased a brand-new vehicle 2026 Toyota Camry hybrid from Post Oak Toyota (located at 5800 Tinker Diagonal, Midwest City, OK 73110). The dealership delivered this vehicle to me with an open, active safety recall that had not been fixed. We discovered the recall June 20 2026 after setting up the new Toyota app. The dealership violated federal safety regulations by finalizing the sale and delivering a brand-new vehicle with an unaddressed factory safety recall. I was placed at unnecessary risk during the week and a half I operated the vehicle. Furthermore, I have been deprived of the use of my brand-new vehicle for the vast majority of my ownership period because the dealer sold a product they could not legally or safely allow me to keep driving. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this dealership non-compliance and delivery violation. the specific recall involves an improperly torqued bolt inside the inverter, which can cause sudden power loss or an increased risk of fire when the vehicle is running. the vehicle has been in the outside lot from July 3rd 2026 to present day so a total of 13 days. We have requested a buyback resolution because we no longer feel safe handling a vehicle that has started its lifecycle this way. Thank you for reading our statement.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
In an emergency stop on dry pavement, my braked did not operate in a straight line. The vehicle swerved. My statement is attached as Page 4 to an uploaded form supplied by the dealership abbreviated as "UB Interview Guide". You have my permission to inspect the vehicle which is in the possession of the Toyota of Santa Barbara dealership. Toyota of Santa Barbara has not to date inspected or repaired my vehicle. I am not aware that anyone has inspected the vehicle. I consider the problem to be one that could cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven without repair. A red box appeared on my dashboard during the incident, but I had no time to read or process whatever message may have appeared. Please see my statement prepared within 24 hours of the incident.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am filing this complaint because my 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid has been under NHTSA Safety Recall 25V869 since December 16, 2025. As of July 2026, Toyota still has not provided a repair or remedy. It has been more than six months, and owners continue to drive vehicles affected by a safety recall without any available fix. I believe this delay is unreasonable and I request that NHTSA investigate why Toyota has not made a remedy available within a reasonable timeframe. I rely on this vehicle every day for work and school. It is concerning to know that my vehicle has an unresolved safety recall with no repair available after several months.
