On 4-15-22 wife started the car and put car into drive.There was a grinding noise and the car went into reverse down my street crashed through some cement barriers and a fence and ended up within 3 inches of a neighbors house. This car's transmission seems to have had problems in this area. Wife was not injured but was evaluated by EMTs. Did accident report 22-11374. Car was towed to the dealer. Had $11,000 damage on its bottom. It will be sent to the transmission shot of the dealer after accident repairs.

My driver side door lock actuator failed during warranty period Feb, 2019. Now at 37,500 miles which is 1,500 miles over warranty the passenger side door actuator failed. Toyota refuses to acknowledge that they using defective parts or unreliable suppliers. Car is little over 2 years old and in my opinion this is not acceptable. I am downloading original repair document from February, 2019.

Vehicle has a recurring issue with rattling/ticking sounds when driving on city, highway, and interstate roads over normal road bumps that is coming from the front passengers side door panel/seat belt retractor pillar area. The local Toyota dealer did not want to investigate my issue because they could not replicate the sound even though I had multiple video recordings of the issue. The vehicle has since been in for four separate visits with another local shop to try and resolve the issue. That shop installed a new seat belt retractor and pillar trim along with foam. None of those attempts resolved the issue. $400+ dollars has been wasted trying to fix this problem. I believe it is a quality issue on Toyota's part that needs to be resolved.

There is liquid leaking under the passenger's seat causing a horrible stench in the car. I took the car to downtown auto center in oakland, ca and worked with assistant service manager patrick who informed that this is a "known" issue with Toyota but not covered by the warranty. He said that debris gets clogged in the air conditioning ventilation system causing the leak under the seat. He charged me $200 (reduced to $100 when I complained) to clear the line but did not fix the leaked water, ruined carpet or do anything about the horrible stench in the car. I am very disappointed in Toyota for not covering this known issue in my 2017 Camry with less than 25K miles.

The sidewalks of my new tires (under 10K miles) seem to have wear on them. It's as if the tires don't hold up during turns. If my guess is correct, then these tires are very unsafe. They are hankook S1 ventus noble. P215/55R17

Takata recall well recently everytime I go in reverse to back out of a driveway or anything and I press the brake, I hear 2 popping or clicking noises. I doubt it has anything to do with the braking system or transmission. Possibly the suspension. No popping noises occur if I'm in drive and I brake. It'll do it whether I'm going in a straight line in reverse and brake, or if I'm turning in reverse and brake.

To use the defrost setting in the 2017 Toyota Camry, outside air must be on. I have never had this feature with any other car I owned and it is not like this in the 2018 models. This means when driving in rush hour traffic, you must have outside air on to run the defrosters. This causes exhaust to come in your car. Since I live in houston, tx with high humidity, running the defrosters is a common occurrence. This has caused me to have a headache many times. In 2017, it snowed in houston and to clear the windshield, you had cold outside air coming in.

About 09-01-2018 when backing up, front breads started making a popping noise, had oil change on 12-06-2018 and brought it the service associate, they had it checked and said it was normal brake pad shift (documented on service record), this noise of popping is not normal for a car with 25000 miles. This vehicle should never have any noise from brake area, if a brake pad shift is normal there should be a fix in place to alliviate the noise

When driving over medium sized bumps in the driveway, or going over railroad tracks, the frame of the car sounds like it is twisting at which point you can here a popping noise. It doesn't sound like it is coming from the suspension, but more so from the top of the C-post (rear roof). I do not feel it is a huge issue, but I feel like the body metal is bending each time. I have not brought the issue up to the dealership yet, but after reading through some of the other complaints, it doesn't sound to abnormal for something like this to happen to the Camry.

While driving on highway 280 southbound at roughly 65 mph in Friday evening traffic, the moonroof on my 2017 Camry exploded spontaneously. It was so loud, I thought I had been shot at. Luckily, the cover was closed or glass would have been everywhere in the car's interior. The glass had exploded outward as there was no damage to the sliding cover at all. I called my insurance company but was unable to get into a shop as it was after 5 pm. The moonroof rails had to be replaced when I initially bought the car last year and so I thought the dealer would have the repair under warrantee. I took it to the dealer on Saturday morning and they admitted that they had seen this problem before and that the repair was not under warrantee. Dennis mcconnell stated that the car was under so much external and internal pressure when sealed up at highway speeds that this failure sometimes happens especially as moonroof and sunroofs being a standard feature on cars today. I ended up paying $1072 for a repair I feel must be a structural issue that should be under recall by Toyota. The car has less than 25K miles. I should not be responsible for the cost of this repair. I am now afraid that this will happen again and drive with the moonroof open on the freeway.

I was driving down the interstate on a rainy, cool day when I heard a loud explosion. Thinking it was a gunshot, I liked around the vehicle to make sure passenger was ok. I heard a windy sound and opened the sunroof cover panel to see that my entire sunroof is cracked to pieces. I rushed home and once exiting the car, I notice the glass on the sunroof looks to have exploded outwards. It is completely destroyed with no signs of impact or damage caused by driving. It was completely exploded from the inside out.
