Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles. The second-row center and right-side seats may have insufficiently welded head restraint brackets. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "Head Restraints."
A head restraint bracket that is insufficiently welded may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace the 60% rear seat-back frame sub-assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 19, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB04 and 24TA04.

The vehicle allows the engine to be turned off, key removed, while the vehicle is still in drive with no warning lights or sounds. I have tested and the vehicle can roll away. Complained to the toyota dealership and they said the service tech consulted with toyota headquarters and determined no fix was possible because this is normal function of the the vehicle. However, this is a concerning safety hazard because the vehicle can roll. But also, is against the standards. Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention, mandates that vehicles with an automatic transmission and a "park" position must have a key-locking system that prevents key removal unless the transmission is locked in "park" or becomes locked in "park" as a direct result of removing the key.

The sunroof on my Camry would not close. I took it to Toyota in were they determined that the cables bound up in the track and the only fix was a new roof assembly. This is a safety risk because if the sunroof cannot close it allows the vehicle to be susceptible to outdoor elements as well as safety issues regarding theft. The problem was seen and confirmed by the Toyota dealership, in where they replaced the roof assembly in its entirety under warranty. There were no warning lights that were triggered by the roof become inoperable. They appeared the day I took it in to get serviced, February 28, 2025. The vehicle has only been inspected by the Toyota Dealership Service Center. We were told that there is no remedy to this issue, and that frequent use will ultimately lead to the roof assembly needing to be replaced again. A cost of $10,000 that was luckily covered under warranty. This is an insane amount of money, and the resolution of "don't use your sunroof" is laughable. When you purchase a car, it is to be able to use it in it's entirety. If I didn't want to use a sunroof, I would have purchase one with one. The dealership said they were not going to submit this as a possible recall.

The dealership and manufacturer will not provide mco on the vehicle they sold me as new. I think they’re title cloning or washing and committing odometer fraud. They don’t submit to the dmv actual details of make model

vehicle does not always respond when the gas pedal is pushed. the engine revs and rpms increase, but gears don't catch. merging onto highways, or making turns into traffic are terrifying as i'm not sure if the car will go.
Lane departure, Back over prevention, Dec 6, 2024
The Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems went out on my new vehicle at about 3500 miles. There are warnings for both that come up on my dashboard. I brought my vehicle in for its 5000 mile check-up and asked Toyota to check into it. Their tech said the outage was caused by the vehicle being in a collision and they were going to charge me to repair the safety systems. The thing is that this vehicle has not been in a collision. I believe it was a faulty installation of the systems. I am not going to pay for something not caused by me when the vehicle is new and under full warranty. I am making this complaint so that maybe there are other vehicles with the same issue and we can get repairs covered by Toyota under a recall.

I am an Uber driver and most passengers normally sitting in the rear (passenger/right side), have issues opening the door while exiting the vehicle. They generally pull the lever expecting the the door to open, but I always have to tell them to pull the lever while simultaneously pushing the door outwards (which is abnormal). This problem has been ongoing since I purchased this vehicle new in December of 2023. I reported this issue to my local Toyota dealership.
Visibility/wiper, Aug 17, 2024
Purchased a 2024 Camry SE with defective rear glass. Glass is uneven along the horizontal defroster lines creating a wavy effect. This greatly affects the visibility and clarity of vehicles in the rearview mirror. Vehicle was taken to the Toyota dealership and was told replacement would not be covered by warranty. My previous 2021 Camry did not have this issue and was an identical model, nor have I encountered this issue in other vehicles thus far. The lack of explanation or willingness to help from the dealership is frustrating as it is extremely annoying to deal with on a daily basis.
Wheels, Aug 13, 2024
Friday, August 2, 2024 – While driving car on [XXX] in Portland, OR major unknown problem surfaced. Had car towed into dealership, paying a towing fee of $217.50. Seven hundred nine (709) miles were on odometer. Saturday, August 1, 2024 – Telephoned Royal Moore Toyota and spoke with George Stavrakis – every lug nut on all four (4) wheels were loose and only finger tight. Plus three (3) studs on right rear wheel were broken off. New rim would be needed. George stated that because I had my oil changed by Walmart that they (Walmart) must have loosed all the lug nuts. I had watched Walmart service the vehicle the entire time and Walmart never touched the lug nuts. Monday, August 5, 2024 – Our insurance agent informed me that that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had issued a recall (number 23V432000) for 2023 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrids because of significantly under torquing of the lug nuts. We noted that although my car was a 2024 it was built in 2023. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Aug 12, 2024
on June 20th, 2024, my vehicle started making a vibration and roaring sound at 3k miles at speeds as low as 35 MPH and gets louder the faster you go. the steering wheel also has a vibration. The noise and vibration get worse when you turn the wheel the left but when returned back to center it stops or is quitter and less vibration. when turning to the right it does not do it at all and will sometimes it does. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times now first time they said oh it just wind noise. second time they said we found the noise but don't know what the problem is. 3-time service manager rode with me, and he pointed out the sound and I said yes that sound. They then replaced both front wheel bearings. and they told me on pick up that the noise was completely gone. 2 minutes after leaving the noise was still there and even louder. Toyota seems to not able to fix the problem. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressee knowing that it involves the suspension in the front end of the vehicle.

Tire size P 235/45 R 18 Factory installed on 2024 Toyota Camry, failed catastrophically at 3415 (+/- 5) miles. Vehicle was traveling eastbound on I-40 in Knoxville, TN, when the tread separated completely after bilateral failure of the sidewalls about 2" from the beads. Car stability and control were compromised, but fortunately, vehicle was pulled to the shoulder without incident. Tire warning light came on at some point before failure (exact time unknown). Tire replacement cost is $300. Wheel suffered some damage but has not been assessed for repair cost. Replacement cost is estimated as $500. Toyota dealer (Toyota Knoxville) inspected the tire and claimed it failed due to toad hazard. However, they are not tire experts, their inspection was casual, and they could not point to any specific damage from the supposed road hazard that would cause the catastrophic failure, and they have a conflict of interest in that they may be motivated to avoid warranty claims and sell new tires. The road-hazard scenario is implausible and unsupported by evidence. Th

The vehicle was bought on January 6, 2024. Less than three months after driving, it was raining that day. I opened the sun visor of the sunroof and saw that the sunroof was leaking. After careful inspection, I found that the hardware of the sunroof was defective. The dealer refused to repair it or replace it for me, saying that it was a normal vehicle. I am afraid that due to quality problems, the sunroof will be blown off by the wind when driving on the highway, or rain will leak into the car, which will cause serious safety hazards. I need them to replace me with a new car.

rcta alert signal is to low. I can not hear it at all. I turned in a 2015 avalon, that system , i would say was at medium level, easily indentifiable as an alert warning signal. I assume that the change of mounting position from the shelf behind the back seat to the trunk or the warning device itself is the cause of the low volume.

Forward collision avoidance, Apr 21, 2024
Only one incident almost caused an accident (there are a total of 5 different incidents that have happened however). I was pulling out of a parking lot into traffic. The light was green in the direction I was trying to travel, and there was traffic coming but they were far enough away that I could have safely turned into the lane and moved with traffic if the car would have accelerated as was expected. Instead, the collision system deemed that there was an impending collision about to happen and would not allow me to accelerate. On coming traffic had to swerve to avoid hitting me, which thankfully there was no car in the second lane and they were safely able to avoid hitting me. The car was taken to the dealer and the form that is included was supplied to the dealer and subsequently to Toyota engineers. After 4 weeks, the dealer returned the car because Toyota engineers stated that the PCS system is acting as intended, and there is nothing wrong with the system

The rear windshield is blurry (has a ripple effect) when viewing from the rear view mirror, or directly at the window. At night the problem is compounded where the reflection from the headlights behind you appear as "ladder like" lines in your view in the pattern of the defroster lines. The glare and view both in the daylight and at night is completely distracting to the driver. The car was taken to the Toyota dealership where it was first believed to be a tint defect. The tint was removed and Toyota confirmed it was not the tint, but the actual rear glass was defective. They attempted to reapply the tint to be sure, but the problem still persists. They have not provided us with any options to replace the glass and have said that they were aware of complaints and that all 2024 Camry models are like this. Toyota has confirmed there is an issue with the window. We have a case # open with them, but they have not provided a solution. This is a dangerous safety issue. During the day, everything behind you appears "wavy". The glare especially at night is similar to someone driving behind you with their brights on then having to constantly readjust your eyes to focus forward.

When using lane trace assist as part of the adaptive cruise control the vehicle will violently pull the steering wheel to the left or right out of the lane. This will occur even with vehicles in the lane it pulls to that are detected by the blind spot monitoring system. Brought to a Toyota dealership and they only verified 4 wheel alignment however this did not correct the issue.

There is a vibration sound that occurs when the brake is pressed or depressed. When driving the sound is not present. I brought it to the Smithtown Toyota dealership and they couldn’t find anything and said they heard nothing in the video I sent. After countless hours troubleshooting I traced the sound to the driver well area by the brake and gas pedal. The sound and vibration seems to be transferring from the engine area.
