STRUCTURE:BODY
2021 Camry with 29,000 miles panoramic roof is stuck in the vent position. Took it to two different automotive shops and was told they could not close the vent. The concern was too much pressure on the glass could cause it to shatter if they forced it to close. The recommended repair was to replace the entire sunroof assembly. A private auto garage quoted almost $15,000 to repair. Toyota confirmed the original diagnosis and quoted $10,600 plus tax. If the glass shatters, it obviously is a safety risk. Currently, the car is unusable as is. Two automotive centers confirmed the diagnosis. No warnings, the sunroof stopped responding. When googling, it appears many Camry owners have had the same issue. Contacted Toyota and was denied any assistance. The car has never been in an accident so it is hard to understand why there would be a bent mechanism other than a quality issue. Both diagnosis invoices are available upon request.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
About a minute after the car is turned off (i.e. when in park and the push-button start is turned off), a warning on the heads up display will appear that reads “Low Battery Turn Power OFF.” It is unknown what causes this issue, but the vehicle has already been taken for maintenance once for this issue, and is reoccurring again less than a month after the initial problematic battery was fully replaced. There is no indication as to what is causing this issue, but maintenance had seen this issue several times before in 2025 Camry models.

SERVICE BRAKES
A thumping noise on the driver's side can be heard at times when I encountered low spots. In addition, the rear brakes has grinding noise. Hendricks Toyota of [XXX] were made of the issues there times. On XXX during the schedule maintenance I asked that the hubs be removed again to check the noise. A ride along test drive was conducted by a technician. Due to rainy conditions it was noted that I would have to reschedule the test. The offical service records indicate the exact facts. I received a later email from the dealership stating they would not honor the return trip. A complaint was filed with the NC Attorney's General Office Consumer Protection. The dealership used deceptive practice and stated they had service the vehicle and never mentioned about the denied return for the inspection. They have been asked several times to remove the hubs but refused. As a 100% disabled veteran I relie on the vehicle for medical transportation and daily necessities to and from places.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA, STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
Issue #1: When driving the vehicle, the center display will stop working, audio and other functions remain working, however there is no display, including when the vehicle is in reverse, resulting in a loss of visibility when backing due to the camera not being displayed, this presents a safety issue as a safety feature (the reverse camera) is not working. When the vehicle was taken in to the dealer under warranty, the dealer stated if the unit was replaced that the issue would “just happen again” and the only solution offered was to wait for a software update. A case has been opened with Toyota on this matter and they are unable to provide an ETA on when an update will be available, and are refusing to replace the display under warranty. Issue #2: The front bumper is pulling away from the headlight assembly on the driver side, this issue was addressed with 2 Toyota dealers, hey stated the clips under the headlight have broken causing the bumper to separate, claiming it was due to an “outside element” as the hood has been repainted and doesn’t match the bumper paint due to a scratch on the hood, when this was explained, they then changed their story stating there was a repair to the bumper, which is also incorrect as I have owned the vehicle since it was new, they then changed their explanation again stating there was damage under the front of the vehicle which is also incorrect, the vehicle has never been in an accident and has no damage other than rock chips that have been corrected with touch up paint to prevent rust. This causes a safety issue as the bumper is no longer secure in all areas, which they are also refusing to cover under warranty.

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
The front bumper under the drivers side headlight is detaching from the car. I brought the car to the dealership, they looked at it, said they pushed the bumper back in but i needed to make an appt. When i came back for the second appt, I was immediately turned away. They stated it was body work and they didn't do that type of work. I was sent to Bob Maloney Collision. There they took the bumper off, found no damage, put the bumper back on, calibrated the car. Before even leaving their parking lot, the bumper had detached again. I brought the car back a second time a little over a week later. They again took the bumper off, put it back on again. The first trip on the interstate and the bumper detached again. The car has not been in any accidents and there's no signs of curb damage or anything like that. This poses a safety risk due to the bumper being lose. At interstate speeds, the bumper clearly detaches. It could detach completely with the perfect gust of wind causing me to lose control and/or hitting other vehicles. A quick google search will show that there are multiple other incidents of this occurring. It is a known issue, though most report the actual fix as replacing the headlight assembly/bumper since the headlight is not in the correct position allowing the bumper to fully hook onto. The car is still under warranty but Toyota is giving me the run around. I opened a corporate case for reimbursement after no damage was found. When i went back to the dealership with this information and to attempt to get them to repair under warranty again, they were still trying to deflect and acting like they didn't want to fix it. I have an appt for tomorrow when the manager is there again. This will be the 5th time I've had it at either the dealership or the body shop for repairs in barely over a month and it still isn't fixed.

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
I wanted to share my recent experience with Toyota regarding my brand-new Camry. The front bumper on my new vehicle is coming loose. After speaking with my dealership and Toyota corporate, I was informed that this is a known issue affecting some Camrys. I was also told similar concerns have been seen on other Toyota 4Runners (this came from a Toyota service advisor, "The 4Runners are even worse!"). What surprised me most was Toyota's position. Although the issue is known, Toyota currently has no authorized repair available for dealerships to perform under warranty. The recommendation was essentially to wait until Toyota develops an official remedy or issues a recall and they were closing my case for now; this is when the Toyota representative was getting defensive. As a customer, that's difficult to accept. I purchased a new vehicle expecting defects like a loose bumper to be corrected under warranty, not postponed indefinitely. I'm sharing this experience because other owners may be experiencing the same issue.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
On May 20, 2026, at approximately 14,600 miles, I discovered a stress fracture in the windshield of my 2025 Toyota Camry XSE immediately after going through an automated car wash. There were no prior warning signs, unusual sounds, or visible stress marks before the crack appeared. The crack originated at the driver's side edge where the glass meets the roofline at the bonded perimeter — a location inconsistent with road debris or external impact damage, which typically produces an impact point in the field of the glass rather than at the bonded edge. The crack extended downward approximately 5-7 inches in an arc pattern. There was no impact event. The crack appeared spontaneously under the mechanical stress of a standard automated car wash on a nearly new vehicle. The crack subsequently spread and created a reflective arc that directed sunlight directly into my eyes while driving, creating a significant safety hazard and impairing my ability to drive safely. I filed an insurance claim through Progressive and had the windshield replaced with OEM Toyota glass by Safelite on June 3, 2026. Note: Within 24 hours of OEM replacement, a second windshield failure occurred on June 4, 2026 while driving through Utah on I-70. This second failure suggests a potential systemic defect in Toyota Camry windshield glass rather than isolated external damage. A separate NHTSA complaint will be filed for this second incident once replacement documentation is complete.

The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at nighttime, the vehicle failed to detect a nearby vehicle, the interior lights failed to illuminate, and the high-beam headlight failed to illuminate as intended. An unknown message associated with the Blind Spot Monitoring system. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired because the warranty had expired. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The forward collision warning system emits a warning sound even when the car is in reverse. I was close enough to the door of my garage so that the forward warning was beeping. Since this always occurs when I back out of my driveway, I ignored the beeping. Unfortunately there was also something behind me and I backed into a low trash can. This could have been much more serious. The fact that the forward collision warning system stays active when backing up produces alarm fatigue and masks any warning from the reverse system.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On 1/14/26 a parking cone blew into my lane on the freeway and hit my passenger side bumper. I filed an insurance claim for the damage and took it to a Progressive preferred shop, Color Magic CARSTAR Collision. Carstar replaced the grille, bumper cover and all affected components such as the retainers, moulding, impact absorber, etc. with OEM parts. After 60 days of allowing the new bumper's black paint to cure, I went to get the bumper rewrapped with the mint green wrap that was put on the car by the dealership before I purchased it. At that time, the wrap company noticed that there was a gap in the bumper under the passenger side headlight and that the bumper could be popped back into place, but easily popped back out. It was not noticeable to me while the bumper was black, but once they put the mint green wrap on, it was extremely noticeable. I have went back to Carstar multiple times for them to make adjustments to fix the problem. My insurance adjustor has inspected it multiple times and referred me to Germain Certified Toyota Collision Center to assist after he found online forums and was told by Direct Collison center (also Toyota Certified) staff that it was a known issue with the OEM bumpers and that there was no fix for it. All have confirmed and been able to reproduce the issue. The adjustor says it is a manufacturing warranty issue ane neither Certified Toyota Collision Centers we talked to were willing to help or take responsibility for it. Germain said it is how the car is meant to handle impact and that scrapes on driveways or minor bumps/potholes can cause it to pop out of place. It is a safety issue because it could continue to get worse and pop out or fall off while I am driving. It also affects the front sensor which affects a multitude of safety features as well as lane assist, which I cannot turn off. I am worried that the sensor will fail and cause me to get in an accident if it jerks my wheel wrong.

TIRES
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry equipped with Bridgestone Puranza EL440tires (Tire Size: 235/45R/18). While driving approximately 75 MPH, the rear driver's side tire suddenly, the Tire Sensor illuminated. The contact was attempting to get to the nearest exit to pull over, but before being able to do so, the tire blew. When the failure occurred, it caused the rear bumper to detach from the vehicle. The contact moved to the emergency lane, where they noticed the tire had disintegrated. The tire was replaced with a spare tire and driven to their home. The contact stated their niece, who was a passenger in the vehicle at the time, had suffered a panic attack, at the time which caused their nose to bleed and necessitated medical attention. The next day, the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed it was a known issue with the tires and the tire was replaced. The bumper was reattached. The manufacturer was not informed. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

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.
