STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
1. The driver side door has a rattling sound when driving. It sounds like the door is not shutting all the way. Air/noise comes through. The noise is annoying when driving and I am concern that the door will open. This does not make me feel safe. 2. Windshield is fragile. Within a month of purchasing my Camry, my windshield cracked (passenger side). A couple months later I see another crack on the drivers side. I am afraid that it will shatter soon enough and cause me not to be able to drive safely on the road. 3. Paint is already chipping on the hood of my 2025 Camry.

AIR BAGS
I own a 2021 Toyota Camry XSE (VIN: [XXX] ) with a malfunction in the SRS airbag system related to the front passenger seat frame Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor. The airbag warning light remains on, and diagnostics indicate a failure in the OCS sensor that could prevent the passenger airbag from deploying correctly, or could deploy it at the wrong time during a collision. I contacted Toyota for assistance, but they declined to cover the repair, stating the vehicle is out of warranty and not covered under any current recall or extended warranty. However, this is a critical safety issue that affects the airbag system’s ability to protect occupants properly. I’ve discovered that Toyota has already issued multiple airbag- and sensor-related recalls in recent years, including: – The Takata inflator recall, affecting many Toyota models for potentially explosive airbag inflators. – A December 2023 recall for approximately 1 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles (model years 2020-2022) due to a front passenger seat OCS sensor defect—the same component involved in my Camry’s issue. – A June 2024 recall of about 145,000 U.S. vehicles (certain 2024 SUVs/hybrids) for side-curtain airbags that may not deploy correctly. – A January 2025 recall affecting 2023 Toyota and Lexus vehicles for steering-column spiral cable defects that could prevent the driver’s airbag from deploying. Given these ongoing airbag and OCS sensor problems across multiple Toyota models and years, it appears my 2021 Camry may suffer from a related or similar defect. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this issue should be included in or trigger an expansion of existing Toyota airbag recalls. Toyota’s refusal to assist despite the safety risk raises concern that other 2021 Camry owners could be affected without being aware of the danger INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SEATS
B-Pillar that houses drivers side seatbelt has a persistent rattling noise. I am afraid that something is loose inside and seatbelt will fail. A bolt, screw or washer sounds loose inside. It has been repaired 2 times. Taken back to dealership 3 times since first 2 repairs but Toyota claims unable to replicate. The seatbelt does not tight across my torso when I brake. Videos of defect have been provided. Active repair case with Gulf States Toyota. Claims manager Andre has called Northshore Toyota to attempt assist with repair. Headliner or glass panoramic sunroof is loose and rattling. It has been repaired 2 times. Taken back to dealership 3 times since first 2 repairs but Toyota claims unable to replicate. The box that houses lighting buttons above back seat and one speaker above driver's head is rattling and loose. I do not know if it is the glass above headliner causing the rattling. Glass may break while driving over bumps if it is not properly secured or air sealed. Passenger and driver's seat have defective lumbar components inside. Causes a safety distraction to driver. When vehicle stops or starts it hits or bumps driver or passenger. This is a documented defect of 2025 Camrys.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The 7 inch instrument panel went completely blank upon startup. The vehicle was inspected by a Toyota dealer and a temporary fix was implemented (unplugging battery). My safety was at risk due to the absence of information present on instrument panel such as speed, fuel gauge, turn signal, and all other information displayed. There were no warning signs or notices. I understand there is a recall (25TBO8) for the 12.3 inch instrument panel but I am experiencing the same thing with my 7 inch instrument panel.

After coming to a complete stop the throttle does not respond when it is time to move off. After pressing the gas pedal the car will not move forward and the motor does not respond as if it is getting any signal to move off. This happens intermittently and the dealership was not able to recreate after first reporting this issue. No warning indicators present the past 8 times this as occurred.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
I turned into a restaurant’s parking lot, found a spot and slowly drove into the lot, I eased off the gas pedal and gently applying the brake as the lot has a slight downward slope. When I reach the chunk (the parking block), I added more force to the brake, but I felt the brake pedal just sank, and the car lurched ahead, jumped over the chunk, and stopped at the curb which startled me. After I recovered, I put the car in reverse to return it to the right position (back up from the overrun chunk), everything seemed back to normal condition after that. Luckily, all occupants were unhurt, airbag was not deployed. I inspected the car after parking properly, there didn’t seem any visible damage to the vehicle, although I couldn’t see the chassis system which I believed must had a few scratches on the underside. The technician failed to update/recalibrate the on-board warning system since last time I had the serviced at dealer, mainly for oil change on 3/14/2025. So, every time I turned on the engine, there is a warning message displayed as: "Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer". This happened since the day after oil change. I thought it was the carelessness or absent- mindedness of the technician, so, I just ignored it. But don't know that has anything to do with this incident.

STEERING
Upon driving the vehicle the steering wheel fluid light came on, the car instantly shut off and restarted 3 times repeatedly. Once it cut back on the 4th time the car began smoking from the interior. Once I exited the vehicle and popped the trunk looking for where the smoke was coming from. The car engulfed into flames. It is so badly burnt up you can’t see what started the fire.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
Front Bumper Fitment Issue: The front bumper clips fail to secure the bumper properly, causing a noticeable gap between the bumper and the body, particularly around the headlight and fender. Despite visiting my local dealer today (10-11-2025), they have confirmed that this is a known issue, but no permanent solution has been provided. The bumper misalignment negatively impacts the aesthetic quality and structural integrity of the vehicle. This problem has been reported by multiple 2025 Camry owners and persists even after the bumper is replaced. It is evident upon delivery and has not been fixed by Toyota or the dealership to date. Rear Seatbelt Warning Malfunction: I experienced a malfunction with the rear seatbelt warning system. The warning alert activated while the vehicle is in motion, falsely indicating that an unbuckled passenger is in the backseat, even when the rear seats are empty. At my dealership visit in August, I was told that this was a normal characteristic of the vehicle, triggered when rear doors are opened or closed without the seatbelt being clicked in. However, this explanation does not account for the behavior I am experiencing, where the warning is erroneously triggered while the vehicle is moving. This malfunction undermines the reliability of Toyota's safety systems, and I request that Toyota investigate it thoroughly. I would also appreciate guidance on how to disable or adjust the rear seatbelt reminder in the meantime, if that is a viable solution.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I purchased the vehicle on 8/30/2025 in the early afternoon and later in the evening once it was getting dark I noticed the low beam headlights on my vehicle only provide a range of approximately 50 ft. ahead, making it very difficult to drive at night to observe anything in which could be in the roadway. I took the car into the Toyota dealer on 9/27/2025 which they adjusted the headlights slightly higher which did not help. I contacted them which they replied they cant adjust any higher. This a major safety issue with this model which needs corrected, its impossible to see at night without using the high beams blinding oncoming drivers.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was involved in a multi-impact collision while driving my 2021 Toyota Camry. Certified crash data from the Airbag Control Module (ACM) confirms five crash events including a frontal collision (delta-V of -9.3 mph) and a rollover (roll angle 9.8°, roll rate 45.6°/sec). Despite these conditions, no airbags deployed—not the frontal, knee, or curtain airbags. The driver was belted, there was no airbag warning light, and power was maintained. Toyota later stated the system worked “as designed” and found no defects. However, federal safety standards (FMVSS No. 208 and 226) suggest this type of crash should have triggered the airbags, especially due to the frontal delta-V and verified rollover. I request a formal investigation. Crash report available upon request.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving my 2025 Toyota Camry, the infotainment/navigation display screen (center console multimedia system) will randomly and sporadically shut down completely, leaving the screen blank without warning. This has happened multiple times, including while I was backing up and relying on the backup camera, creating an unsafe situation by eliminating visibility. When the screen goes blank while driving, I lose access to navigation, vehicle settings, and other safety-related features, which increases the risk of distraction and potential accidents. There are no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to the failure and it occurs suddenly. I reported the issue to my Toyota dealership, and they acknowledged it as a factory issue, but I have not been given a timeline for a fix, which has been very frustrating. The vehicle is still available for inspection upon request. I have also seen numerous reports online from other 2025 Camry owners experiencing the same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread defect.

AIR BAGS
THIS FIRST PORTION OF THE DESCRIPTION IF AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM THE LATTER PART, WHICH WAS RECEIVED IN SPANISH. Complaint to NHTSA – Unresolved Recall on 2021 Toyota Camry I own a used 2021 Toyota Camry purchased from an authorized Toyota dealer. After purchase, I discovered that the vehicle has an open recall related to the airbag system. According to information from NHTSA, there is currently no solution available from the manufacturer. My concern is twofold: 1. The vehicle makes a constant daily noise, apparently related to the problem reported in the recall, which increases my distrust in the car's safety. 2. The dealership did not inform me before purchase about the existence of this active, unrepaired recall, which I consider a serious lack of transparency and a safety risk to consumers. This puts me in a situation of road safety concerns, as I am driving a vehicle that does not meet minimum safety standards due to a defect recognized by the manufacturer, but with no available remedy. I request that NHTSA: Investigate the case and confirm whether Toyota and the dealership are complying with their notification and transparency obligations. Demand that the manufacturer provide a clear and timely solution to this recall, as consumers should not be driving a defective vehicle without alternatives. Strengthen consumer protection mechanisms so that no dealership can sell vehicles with open recalls and no repairs available without explicitly informing the buyer. I trust that NHTSA can intervene, as this is a public safety risk that affects not only me as the owner, but also my passengers and other drivers on the road. para NHTSA – Recall sin solución en Toyota Camry 2021 Soy propietario de un Toyota Camry 2021 (usado) adquirido en un concesionario oficial de Toyota.
