The check engine light came on first then as I was driving a couple days later my car begin to run hot and make a loud noise under the hood. The Engine coolant light came with stop the vehicle. The meter reached the Hot line. The car begin to lose power. I pulled over and checked under my hood it appears as though my coolant reservoir had splash back look. Left car parked for several hours until it cooled down went back to pick it up from parking lot and as I begin to drive it slowly rose back up to the H on gauge.
Electrical system, Aug 3, 2024
Driving along, went to pass someone and the ICS malfunction came on, reduce speed and visit dealer. The Camry had no “juice”. It shook. I put on emergency lights and drove on the side of the road. Pulled over and turned off car. Turned back on and there were no warning lights on. I drove to Toyota dealership and they diagnosed it as “ignition coil” was bad and it had misfired that’s why the malfunction light came on. Needless to say, the car has 39,005 miles on it!!!
Other or unspecified, Jul 29, 2024
This car's moonroof shattered spontaneously one day with no incident at all or warning while my daughter was sitting in her car. Had it shattered while she was driving, it could have caused a major accident. Toyota would not cover under the warranty and we had to use our personal insurance to repair it and then a few months later it stopped working altogether. The sliding rails broke and the warranty would not cover it. Insurance would not cover it either and Toyota is quoting us $8,000 to repair. We took our vehicle back to the shop that repaired the glass from the shattered moonroof that stated it is a piece of the railing system that is broken.

Driving down [XXX] in Ohio, electrical components in the car started flashing and the check engine light came on. "Charging malfunction" something or other and it also said "steering power low". Then the car completely shutoff and I had to coast to the shoulder. It was then towed and is at a local shop. It's a 2019 with 75,000 miles - this should not have happened. I saw the 2020 Camry 2.5 liter recall for a crack in the engine, it would not surprise me if that is also what happened to my car.

Steering, Apr 15, 2024
I keep getting Steering Power Low. Visit your Dealer message. There no mechanical issues such as engine getting stopped or steering getting locked. But this is scary situation while you are driving in the highway. I went to the dealer there was no code that they could find related to this issue. I am just afraid that if something happens while I am driving and sterring suddenly locks or engines stops in the middle of busy highway. I got this message around 3 times.
Tires, Apr 12, 2024
It has a big bubble on the sidewall of the tire. I’ve had nothing but problems out of this namebrand tire they’re constantly leaking or getting bubbles. Tire size is 23545R 18
Vehicle speed control, Apr 7, 2024, crash
On March 13th, 2024, while pulling into the driveway and lightly accelerating due to the slight incline of the driveway, the accelerator pedal fell from under my foot. The car accelerated hard, plowing through the garage door, a washer/dryer unit, a storage rack and into the back wall of the garage. The car bounced back but was still accelerating, leaving marks from the tire spinning in the garage. The brakes were ineffective in stopping the vehicle. After hitting the wall I was able to shut the car off using the key. The airbags did not deploy. Note: The car has molded OEM floormats that were secure at the time of the accident. The vehicle was towed to a body shop and the insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss.

All warnings light are popping up mention malfunction on break and LDA system comes and goes away

Car completely stopped while I was driving on the highway. Multiple warning lights appeared and stated that they failed. Examples of error messages in the information system were LDA malfunction, secondary brake, collision malfunction and check engine light. Car cranks fine but when shifting to drive or reverse car wont drive. Transmission failed at around 80,000 mile

Transmission out after 85,000 miles. Just spent almost 4k to replace head gasket and now the transmission is out. Did regular scheduled maintenance on time and took really good care of my car. Many reports of this problem by many people.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Forward collision avoidance, Mar 8, 2024
On three separate occasions the Pre Collision System has inappropriately activated while driving at high speeds. It seems to occur during dusk/dark and when it is raining. Two out of the three times it applied the brake, which easily could have resulted in an accident. I inspected the wiring for one of the sensors underneath the hood which appears fine. The sensors were cleaned off in all of these instances.

Vehicle sunroof exploded while driving home from work. The interior sunroof screen was 90% closed causing only a few pieces of glass to fall into the car striking myself while driving. When the incident occurred, it sounded like a shotgun going off over my head causing me to duck and swerve almost into another vehilce on the road. This is the second such incident involving this car and it happened on the exact same road within a half a mile of the previous incident 3 years earlier. No rocks or debris caused this. Possible elevation change due to going uphill on hwy. Insurance claim has been initiated. There were no warning signs of this.
Tires, Feb 7, 2024
A Tire Bridgestone Turanza EL 440 size 235/4019 with 37000 miles had a catastrophic failure despite being inflated correctly. Neither did the tire hit anything. We feel this is a safety concern as within a few seconds the tire came apart on both sides completely. See pics. I noticed that other Toyotas made that year has almost the same tire that has been recalled. Tire basically disintegrated too by crumbling.. Thank you
