STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:DASHBOARD
The contact's son owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact and her son discovered razor-thin lines across the dashboard on the front passenger’s side air bag. The contact and her son were concerned that the passenger’s side air bag might not operate as intended due to the cracks on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V511000 (Exterior Lighting, Seat Belts, Electrical System). The dealer determined that there were cracks in the dashboard and recommended that the dashboard be replaced. The dealer submitted photos to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer responded that the dashboard was not covered under warranty and the cracks were due to other issues. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 5,500.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The moonroof shattered as I was driving on a freeway. The shattering sounded like an explosion or gunshot sound that startled me resulting in some swerving in lanes. Traffic was light and I did not hit anything and was able to exit the freeway and pull into a gas station to examine what had happened. I noticed some glass falling from my car roof and saw that the moonroof was shattered.

Not sure if i'm reporting this correctly. my camry started making noise and it was a transmission issue. i went online and it seems to be a common complaint for 2018 and 2019 toyota camry's, when they reach approx 125k to 135 k. don't know if anything can be done but it would be nice to find out if this is more common then expected and corrections are being made. I even had a routine service i believe last month and all they indicated was it needed a transmission service. thanks

LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, STEERING
On October 24, 2026, I was driving my 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE eastbound on California Highway 60 near Main Street when I experienced what appeared to be a serious malfunction involving the lane keeping assistance and steering systems. I saw another vehicle and attempted to steer away to avoid a collision. However, the lane assistance system appeared to engage and pull my vehicle toward the other car, in the opposite direction from where I was attempting to steer. I tried to correct the steering and regain control, but everything happened extremely quickly. Despite my efforts, I was unable to avoid colliding with the other vehicle. Following the impact, my vehicle spun around on the freeway. The collision caused extensive damage to my vehicle, including severe suspension, wheel, and body damage. The vehicle became completely undrivable and required towing. California Highway Patrol officers responded to the accident. I explained what happened, including how the lane assistance system appeared to pull my vehicle toward the other car despite my attempts to avoid the collision. A police report was filed. Following the accident, I arranged to have the vehicle towed directly to my residence. I specifically wanted to preserve its condition and prevent unnecessary handling, modifications, repairs, or alterations that could potentially compromise evidence of the suspected malfunction. I contacted an automotive collision repair professional to evaluate the damage. The estimator offered to visit my residence, but I provided all the detailed photographs he requested so he could evaluate the damage without disturbing the vehicle. The resulting repair estimate was approximately $14,000. The extensive damage raises concerns that the vehicle may be an economic total loss. The vehicle remains at my residence and has not undergone repairs. It is available for an independent technical inspection. I have photographs documenting the accident scene, the vehicle's final posit

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Vehicle Safety Complaint – 2018 Toyota Camry On October 26, 2026, the driver was operating a 2018 Toyota Camry on a public roadway at approximately 45 mph when the vehicle unexpectedly activated its automatic emergency braking system. The dashboard displayed a “BRAKE!” warning, immediately followed by extremely forceful braking, comparable to someone suddenly slamming their foot on the brake pedal. The vehicle rapidly decelerated from approximately 45 mph to a complete stop, despite there being no vehicles, pedestrians, or visible obstacles in front of or near the vehicle. The sudden braking caused the driver’s body to lurch forward. According to the driver, the seat belt did not noticeably tighten during the incident. After the vehicle came to a complete stop, the brakes released, and the car slowly began rolling forward without the driver pressing the accelerator. The driver did not intentionally initiate the emergency braking. This unexpected activation created a serious safety hazard and could have resulted in a rear-end collision, loss of vehicle control, or serious injury. The incident raises concerns about a possible malfunction of the vehicle’s Pre-Collision System (PCS), including its radar sensor, forward-facing camera, calibration, or associated software. A VIN search through the NHTSA database indicated zero outstanding safety recalls for this vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this incident as a potential safety defect involving unintended automatic emergency braking in the 2018 Toyota Camry.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Component or System Failed: Unibody structural frame / Front chassis suspension and crumple zone architecture. Description of the Incident and Safety Risk: A structural repair was executed on this vehicle involving an improper "rough pull" on a frame rack/jig rather than replacing the compromised structural components to OEM specification. The auto body facility failed to restore the vehicle's unibody structural integrity. Misaligned body lines and underlying unibody damage remain uncorrected, severely degrading the vehicle's engineered crumple zones. This creates an immediate, severe safety risk. Because the high-strength steel and structural collision-energy management features have been altered and weakened without proper sectioning or component replacement, the vehicle's structural performance in a subsequent impact is entirely compromised. This significantly elevates the risk of severe cabin intrusion and catastrophic structural failure in a future accident, endangering the safety of all occupants. Confirmation and Documentation: The underlying structural and unibody deficiencies have been identified and documented via visual inspection, initial estimates, subsequent supplement records, and detailed parts lists

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This vehicle is experiencing the same problems since 2022 despite multiple attempts to have the vehicle repaired. The fuel pump was part of the recall and it was replaced in 2020. When these problems started in 2022, I was told they need the codes to figure out what’s going on but yet they still couldn’t give me an answer. There was only one code that they addressed which was to replace an engine coil but the car continues breaking down. This most recent time, I fueled the vehicle and it would not start when I was finished. This had happened at least 3 times, all after fueling the vehicle. The car will also shut down while driving, and it is extremely dangerous when power steering fails and there is no acceleration even with the pedal pushed down all the way to the floor in the middle of traffic. I am terrified that I will not only hurt myself but others when this failure causes an accident. One time, the vehicle broke down on a major highway during rush hour, but I was able to get to safety. Other times I had to call a tow because the car was inoperable. The dash lights up with “check engine” and “ics malfunction visit your dealer” each time. I have called corporate and made 15+ trips to get the vehicle diagnosed/fixed but still do not have any answers.

ENGINE
I own a 2019 Toyota Camry SE, 4-door automatic transmission, with approximately 59,500 miles. On October 20, 2026, while driving on a roadway with multiple traffic lights, I stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, I pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle made a loud noise but would barely move and accelerated very slowly. At the same time, I noticed a strong oil smell inside the vehicle. There were no warning lights or messages displayed before the failure. Because the vehicle was unable to accelerate normally when traffic began moving, my safety and the safety of other motorists were put at risk. The driver behind me expected my vehicle to move when the light turned green and nearly collided with the rear of my vehicle when it failed to accelerate. The sudden loss of power created the risk of a rear-end collision and prevented me from maintaining the normal flow of traffic through the intersection. I was able to pull the vehicle to the side with the help of other people pushing the car of the road. I shut off the car and attempt to restart it several times. The vehicle did not restart. The oil odor remained noticeable during the incident. The vehicle was subsequently taken to Athens Toyota for inspection. After diagnosing the vehicle, the dealership technician determined that the cause of the problem was a sudden transmission failure. The sudden transmission failure resulted in a loss of vehicle propulsion and created a significant safety hazard while driving in traffic. The transmission has not yet been repaired or replaced. Answers: 1) Transmission failure. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2) The vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate normally while entering an intersection when the traffic light turned green, creating a risk of a rear-end collision and endangering myself and other motorists. 3) Yes. By Athens Toyota 4) Same As (3) 5) No, warning lights, messages before failure. The symptoms first appeared on Oct20.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
While driving with cruise control engaged, came up behind a truck going slower than I was so pressed the minus (-) on the steering wheel to lower the speed. Usually what happens is the speed will drop 1 MPH for each press. This time (and this is the first time I've seen this happen) instead of slowing down, the car sped up! And the speed kept climbing from 54 to 80 MPH without pause. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator pedal. It was not related to the minus presses which I did maybe 3 times during that speed up sequence. I am positive that I was pressing the (-). I was far enough behind the truck (on a slight hill) that there was no danger but the car's speed kept climbing so I stepped on the brakes which disengaged the cruise control. When I later tried to reengage it, it gave a dash display warning that it couldn't be engaged. I waited ~5 minutes and it did reengage without cycling power.

POWER TRAIN
When i purchased this vehicle during 2020 i noticed that the car runs very sluggish and the transmission would jerk a lot when slowing down and when speeding back up, ive been able to replicate this problem for the dealership and i took it to them and all they said they can do is reset the transmission and check the fluid levels. So for the past 4 years ive been driving it like that with no issues resolved. Until this year 2026, i took the car back to the dealership and i explained to them that i hear a whining sound coming from the transmission when its runs at 3k RPMS and they were able to replicate the noise and all they said is they cant do nothing since the transmission still runs even tho their is a clear sign that the transmission is giving up and the jerking and hesitation of the transmission is clear. i also have statement from the service manager claiming their is a whine sound.

POWER TRAIN
2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid XSE, front-wheel drive. Highway fuel economy suddenly dropped from approximately forty-five to forty-six miles per gallon to thirty-five to thirty-six miles per gallon within the past week, around October tenth. This is roughly twenty percent below the EPA highway rating of forty-five for this trim. Driving conditions unchanged: gentle highway speeds around sixty-five to seventy, temperatures sixty-three to seventy degrees, no roof rack or accessories, original equipment tires at thirty-nine PSI which is at or above the door placard spec. No warning lights, no check engine light, no pulling to one side, no burning smell, no brake drag symptoms. No service visits or recall work performed in recent weeks. Ruled out weather, tires, roof accessories, and driving style. Possible causes include a software update to the hybrid control module that may be preventing electric assist at highway speeds, or a mechanical issue such as a dragging brake caliper. Requesting investigation into hybrid system software changes and hybrid powertrain behavior.
