Defect in the windshield- Lamintaed glass- Due internal stress in the inner glass layer, pieces of the glass started falling in my lap as I was driving. Please investigate. Called Toyota Customer Service Group and they failed to understand the safety of this issue. Laminated glass should not separate by having pieces of glass in driver's lap and reating a hole in the upper corner of the windshield

I have a 2017 toyota camry with only 30k miles and the servo motor has gone bad. that's what the dealership told me. i was told by dealership this is a common problem, yet Toyota doesn't have a bulletin for this issue. i am looking on [XXX] and see it's listed and several other websites. i was told repair cost can be $1,4000 - 4,800. Car has only 30k miles so i am quite surprised that it's needing this costly repair. Furthermore, given the fact that it's a known issue why did Toyota not have a bulletin for this" Are they trying to pass this cost onto the consumer" INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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

Camry

  • 6,000 miles
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.
