Subject: Report of Sudden Unintended Acceleration – 2025 Toyota Camry I am reporting a safety incident involving my 2025 Toyota Camry that occurred on [XXX] at a low speed in a parking lot in Madison, Wisconsin. While driving at a low speed through a parking lot and I began braking and turning into a parking space, my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly surged forward. The car accelerated without input from me and also did not respond to the brakes. I was unable to stop the vehicle before it struck a tree and bushes. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the car sustained significant damage. The police report inaccurately attributes the incident to driver error, but I firmly believe that this was a case of sudden unintended acceleration. This was not a case of pedal misapplication. The event felt completely out of my control, and I suspect an electronic or mechanical malfunction. I am extremely concerned about the safety of the vehicle and whether this issue could occur again. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this incident and determine whether this may be part of a broader pattern with this vehicle model. It will be extremely helpful if you can request to retrieve Event Data Recorder (EDR) to determine what occurred during the incident. I am available for follow-up and willing to assist in an investigation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
The car randomly puts the parking brake on. I got to drive and the parking brake has activated. The car when placed in park has always made a noise, but prior to the parking brake thing, it started sounding like a squeal instead of the usual noise

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
The front bumper of the vehicle has a known issue where the bumper isn’t staying in properly causing the bumper to pop out of alignment. Toyota fix is to heat up both sides of the plastic edges and tuck the bumper underneath the headlights. It’s a temporary fix that’s needs to be rectified. It seems like Toyota changed the Camry design before it was ready.

The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph on the last lane during traffic, and depressed the brake pedal when another vehicle suddenly rear-ended their vehicle, causing them to rear-end the vehicle in front. The vehicle that rear-ended the contact was also rear-ended as a result of the crash, causing a second impact from the rear to the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front a second time. The incident involved 6 vehicles in total. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact received back injuries, and medical attention was sought. The contact did not receive reports that any other persons were injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven to the residency, but once parked, an unknown warning flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who, after inspecting the damage on the vehicle, determined that the vehicle was not worth being repaired, especially due to the extensive damage done to its front-end. The vehicle was 80% damaged and therefore considered totaled. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,412.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Component(s) Involved: Front and rear subframe/crossmember, driveline (CV axles, differential), stability and traction control system (including yaw sensor, steering angle sensor, and Accessory Gateway ECU). Available for Inspection: Yes. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have detailed photographs, video, screenshots, diagnostic scan reports, and live data logs documenting the issue. How Safety Was Put at Risk: The vehicle experiences severe vibration, uneven wheel acceleration, and deactivation of traction and stability control. This compromises braking, emergency handling, and overall stability — especially dangerous in rain, snow, or during evasive maneuvers. The alignment of the rear differential and axles is visibly off-center, indicating a shifted or bent subframe. These defects pose a risk of driveline damage or failure while driving. Was the Problem Confirmed by a Service Center? Yes, multiple Toyota dealerships and independent shops confirmed symptoms including vibration, tire wear, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). However, no dealership has acknowledged or addressed the underlying subframe misalignment or driveline distortion. Some attempted to blame scan tools (Moses), while others dismissed the vehicle as “safe to drive” despite active faults (L&S Toyota) Has It Been Inspected by Manufacturer/Police/Insurance? It has been seen by manufacturer-affiliated dealers and independent mechanics, but not formally by Toyota Corporate or insurance. The prior owner also reported similar problems under warranty, indicating these issues existed before resale. --- Warning Lamps or Symptoms Before Failure: Yes. And no. Issues appeared immediately after purchase and include: “Smart Key Not Detected” error Traction Control, VSC, and ABS warning lights TPMS malfunction warning Sudden clunks from rear suspension Irregular tire wear DTCs like U1117, U0140, U0115 AND MORE indicating network and stability system failures (Email for more.)

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I was driving close to a vehicle and brake sensor came on when I got too close. I was braking before sensor initiated and after the sensor appeared my brakes no longer were stiff and I heard rattling from brakes and felt loose/unable to brake properly. This has happened twice since the first incident and I only have issues when brake sensor appears.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The default cruise control mode on my 2025 Toyota Camry is adaptive cruise control. If you are using adaptive cruise control when driving around town the system can abrubtly brake when it should not. The two conditions when this happens are: 1. You are driving on a divided highway that has left turn lanes. If there are cars in the left turn lane the sytem can abrubtly brake. It thinks the car in the left turn lane are in your path. 2. If you are driving in the left lane of a one way street where cars are parked on the left hand side of the street, the system can brake abrubtly. It thinks the parked cars are in your path. I consider this a safety issue because drivers often follow to closely and abrupt braking might cause a rear end collision. To solve this problem, I suggest Toyota either make non adaptive cruise control the default or have an option to change the default cruise control to non adaptive cruise control.

The front windshield has a large crack from the top middle to the middle left on the passenger’s side. I didn’t notice anything hit it, just got in the car and it was there. It is available for inspection, but with the length of the crack I don’t feel safe driving it. I’ve read reviews online that the new Camry’s windshield is a faulty. Can you please look into this?

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
Wife was driving back home on I-280 around 60-65 mph back home when suddenly the back sunroof glass section POP and she started hearing small objects dragging. As soon as she was available to pull over to check it, she realize the whole back glass of the sunroof was cracked. She tried calling Toyota Sunnyvale to report it and best they could help her with was to make a claim with the insurance and pay the deductible of $500 because they saying this was from an “external influence”. They gave us a “rental vehicle” while their inspectors engineers called for non-manufactured issue when; - how will you get hit on the sunroof while driving at 60-65 mph on the freeway? - how is it possible that a small size object could shatter a whole TEMPERED GLASS and also, outline crack all around instead of a center hit like they mentioned. - if there was an external object hitting the sunroof why isn’t any internal damage if it’s right above the sunroof motor. If it was something that big to shatter a whole tempered glass section wouldn’t it damage the motor as is right on the center of the shatter too?. Last but not least, we were “handle” a rental car while they were “inspecting” the vehicle until next coming Monday (2 days later as we took it on a Saturday) we were told to take the vehicle and bring it in the next coming Monday but with that level of shatter it would of fall apart more and would of been an issue for the inspection for them to put it on me as a bigger hit WHITCH THEY DID! And made me pay for the rental days and quote me a $4,700.oo repair labor for the damage part as they determinate it wasn’t manufacture. No one could give an explanation of how did they determinate it when I have an other Toyota that DOES! Have an external object crack on the wind shield AND ITS MINIMAL! Not the whole windshield.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This 2023 was bought brand new and has been driven for 2.5 years. At just over 60000 miles the transmission failed. I have had this car serviced regularly with no indications or warnings of any problems until it just stopped shifting normally one day. Took it to toyota and they ran a diagnostic indeed stating the transmission has to be replaced entirely. And because I am just over 60000 miles they will not honor a warranty on it. Transmissions should not go out at 62000 miles. This is a defect.
