2020 Toyota Camry Owner Complaints

RODENTS APPEAR TO BE ATTRACTED TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE THEY ARE EATING CRITICAL WIRING. THE WIRING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, COSTING ME $600. AFTER RETURNING THE VEHICLE FROM THESE REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I PARKED THE VEHICLE AT HOME AND AGAIN RODENTS ENTERED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CHEWED UP ADDITIONAL WIRING THE VERY NEXT DAY. THE NEW REPAIRS COST ME AND ADDITIONAL $600. THE HOME IS LOCATED IN A RURAL AREA UNDER A CARPORT. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS HOME FOR SEVEN YEARS AND HAVE OTHER CARS PARKED ADJACENT TO THE AUTOMOBILE IN QUESTION. NO OTHER VEHICLES, HOWEVER, HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RODENTS. I WILL BE TRADING IN THIS VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE COSTLY REPAIR BILLS.

SLOW ACCELERATION DURING 1ST 1 OR 2 GEARS. ALMOST HAD MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN HIGHWAY DUE TO SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN CHANGING LANES. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO ACCELERATION WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS USED. THE VEHICLE HAS A COUPLE OF SECONDS DELAY UNTIL IT CHANGING INTO NEXT GEAR. DEALER NON RESPONSIVE. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DROVE MY CAR WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I EXPLAINED THAT MY PREVIOUS (3) V6 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION, HE TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. THE NEW 8- SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFERENT SHIFT SETTINGS WHICH EXPLAINS THE ACCELERATION DELAY AND SOMETIMES CAUSES A JERKY MOTION FROM A DEAD STOP, DRIVING IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC OR WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO THE TECH, THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH NO FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE CAR WILL "LEARN" MY DRIVING HABITS THE MORE I DRIVE IT.

FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR SINCE JANUARY AND TOYOTA TOLD ME THIS YESTERDAY. FUEL PUMP IS DEFECTIVE AND CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL WHILE IN OPERATION. TOYOTA STATED THEY CANNOT OFFER A LOANER OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE AND CANNOT GIVE A ETA FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART AS OF NOW A REPLACEMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE. I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT CAN PUT MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK OF BEING INJURED OR WORST.

OUR VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE - REAR AT AN ESTIMATED 60MPH SPEED DIFFERENCE. (IT IS THOUGHT WE WERE SLOWED TO APPROX 25MPH, OTHER CAR WAS PROBABLY 80MPH OR MORE). THIS HAPPENED ON I95 IN LUMBERTON NC. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN LEFT LANE, WE WERE IN RIGHT LANE. THE OTHER VEHICLE SWERVED INTO OUR LANE HITTING US "QUARTERING" FROM LEFT REAR. FORCE WAS HARD ENOUGH TO DEFORM RIGHT SIDE OF CAR WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NOTHING. AS THE DRIVER, I STRUCK THE INTERIOR WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE A "SEVERE" CONCUSSION. NO SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THE SEAT BELTS TENSIONED TO RESTRAIN ME IN THE SEAT. MY LEFT SHOULDER, ARM, AND ELBOW WERE ALSO INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER LEFT ARM, AND RECOILED STRIKING THE INSIDE OF THE RIGHT INTERIOR. THIS CAUSED HEAD TRAUMA AS WELL. WE DON'T BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT TENSIONED. PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT, RIGHT SIDE ALSO SUFFERED INJURY. NOT AS SEVERE AS FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS. HE WAS THROW AROUND IN THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNKNOWN IF HIS BELTS TENSIONED. ALL 3 HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR INJURIES SUFFERED. THERE IS A WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH STATING, "SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNTION VISIT YOUR DEALER" I BELIEVE HAD SEATBELTS TENSIONED, SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, MY INJURIES WOULD BE MUCH LESS. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED 10/11/2020, WEATHER WAS OVERCAST BUT DRY. CRASH FORCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE BODY WORK DEFORMATION ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE, WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NO OBJECTS.

10/22/2020

The contact owned a 2020 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, he crashed into another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact suffered injuries to both shoulders and his back but did not seek medical treatment. The other driver was injured and transported to the hospital for an injury to his back. A police report was filed. The vehicle was initially towed to an independent tow yard and then towed to a collision center. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a claim was filed. The vehicle was deemed a total loss and was destroyed. The failure mileage was 8,446

11/21/2022

DURING MULTIPLE EPISODES WHETHER THE CAR IS AT A STOP OR IN MOTION THERE IS A DELAY FROM WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO WHEN THE ENGINE RESPONDS AND REVS LEADING TO MORE POWER AND SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THERE IS NO MAJOR CHANGE IN SPEED AND REVS UNTIL SECONDS LATER WHEN THEN ENGINE THEN GOES FROM 1000RPMS TO 3000RPMS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND ALMOST LED TO AN ACCIDENT AS THERE WAS AN ONCOMING CAR THAT ALMOST HIT ME AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE TURN. ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS AN ACCELERATION DELAY FOR A SAFE MERGE.

TRY TO START THE CAR BUT WON'T START IT CHECK THE BATTERY BUT NOT BATTERY ISSUE AFTER I THAT TRY START AGAIN STILL CAN'T SOME CRANKY NOISES START THAN CAR SHUTDOWN,BUT EVEN 90 DAY A LOT OF TROUBLE N WEIRD NOISES WHEN PUSH THE BRAKE PADDLES

9/28/2020

I CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR BUT WHAT I THINK IS DEFECTIVE IS THAT, WITH THE CAR PARKED, I CAN PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OF BRAKE FLUID SO IT MUST BE GOING INTO THE ANTILLOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE MUST BE AN INTERNAL LEAK WITHIN THE ABS AND I'M CONCERNED THAT MIGHT AFFECT IT'S FUNCTIONALITY.

7/30/2020

I ALREADY HAVE A COMPLAINT NUMBER 11342422. I HAVE STUDIED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FURTHER AND I THINK I HAVE IDENTIFIED 2 PLACES OF SAFETY CONCERN. IN NORMAL MODE, SINCE I CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MY INTERPRETATION IS THAT THE RESERVOIR CAN ACCEPT ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL FLUID BEING PUMPED. IT ALSO TELLS ME THAT THE FINAL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PADS WILL BE WHATEVER THE RESISTANCE THE SPRING IN THE RESERVOIR HAS. SO I DON'T HAVE FINAL CONTROL OVER THE BRAKING EVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE OTHER CONDITION THAT CONCERNS ME IS THE LAST DIAGRAM WHEN THE PUMP IS INTENSIFYING THE BRAKING FORCE. NOW THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PATH FOR SOME OF THIS PUMPED FLUID TO RETURN TO THE INPUT SIDE OF THE PUMP. IF THE LEAKAGE PATH HAD NO RESISTANCE THEN THE PUMP COULD BE RECIRCULATING ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID RESULTING IN NO BRAKING. I HOPE THAT THE LEAKAGE PATH HAS ENOUGH RESISTANCE THAT A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID IS ENDING UP AT THE BRAKE PADS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPACTING MY CAR BUT I THINK IT'S A RISK TO ALL CARS WITH ABS. WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS OF 3 CAR DEALERS AND THEY ALL CLAIM THAT BEING ABLE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IS NORMAL. I DON'T THINK IT IS NORMAL AND IT ALSO DOESN'T APPLY TO ALL CARS. MY WIFE'S CAR BRAKES DON'T DO THIS. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS AN INDUSTRY WIDE FOCUS TO COVER UP THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO ABS ENGINEERS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA CAMRY 2020 SE ON OCTOBER 2020 FROM TOYOTA DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES LESS THAN 3 MONTHS LATER. I'VE ONLY DRIVEN IT 800MILES. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THAT I HAD TO PRESS ON THE BREAK HARDER THAN USUAL. ALSO IT LAGS WHEN STARTING UP.

Car is regularly maintained, vehicle had to be what was a software or fuel supply issue. In hotter weather car stutters and engine will completely shut off while driving. It will begin to throw errors for second brake system malfunction, check engine, lane departure assist. Codes from obd2 read p12d5 and p107d. Seems like fuel stops is being cut off or extreme software issue. Regardless it has left my pregnant wife and 3 yr old son stranded in the middle of the road in 100 degree plus weather or then runs extremely rough. Have gone to a mechanic twice each time engine codes had shut off and there was nothing to be done at the moment. Issue still persists, it is still a danger and often it is difficult to have enough momentum to pull over somewhere safe. This issue may also cause further engine problems

THE SUN VISOR ON THE 2020 CAMRY XLE IS NOT DEEP ENOUGH AND DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM BLINDING SUNLIGHT, WHETHER THE VISOR IS DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, OR TO THE SIDE WINDOW - A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, AND HAVE BEEN A TOYOTA CUSTOMER FOR OVER 35 YEARS.

1/7/2020

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT SOUND AND ALL THE SUDDEN GLASS RAINED DOWN ON ME AND INTO MY CAR. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRECK BECAUSE I SHUT MY EYES AND SWERVED. ALSO, THANK GOODNESS MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE BACK SEAT OR SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

THE DAY WAS PARTLY CLOUDY. THE LOCATION WAS MARYLAND. THE VEHICLE WAS A NEW 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 4DOOR. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SUNROOF EXTERIOR FLAT GLASS AND INTERIOR DOOR ASSEMBLY BOTH COMPLETELY CLOSED, MY DAUGHTER AND I SUDDENLY HEARD A BOOM EXPLOSION. WHILE DRIVING TRYING TO SAFELY EXIT, HUGE BLACK CHUNKS WERE FLYING BEHIND US, THAT WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS BROKEN SUNROOF GLASS FLYING BEHIND US HITTING THE VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND US. WE PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WE DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE'S SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. INSTEAD OF THE REMAINING BROKEN SUNROOF GLASS EDGES EXHIBITING A CONCAVE DOWNWARD APPEARANCE, THE REMAINING SHATTERED GLASS EXHIBITED A CONVEX OUTWARD APPEARANCE INDICATING AN EXPLOSION HAD OCCURRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MARYLAND TOYOTA DEALER FOR HELP AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WASN'T PURCHASED FROM THEIR DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. HENCE THE OEM GLASS REPLACEMENT COSTS WERE COVERED BY MY AUTO INSURANCE, WITH A $500 DEDUCTIBLE. A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I RETURNING HOME, THE NEW OEM GLASS AND SUNROOF ASSEMBLY BEGAN TO SCREECH AND CRACKLED AS IF IT WAS COMING APART. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE RENIGGED ON THEIR PROMISE TO MAKE MY SUNROOF ASSEMBLY NEW AGAIN AT NO COSTS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I DEAL WITH A CRACKLING AND SQUEAKING SUNROOF ASSEMBLY THAT MAKES ME FEARFUL OF THE SUNROOF EXPLODING AGAIN. NOTE: THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP FAILED TO COMPLY WITH MY AUTO SUNROOF GLASS AND ASSEMBLY THAT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND REFUND MY AUTO INSURER AND ME AS THEY HAD PROMISED. HAD DIFFICULTY UPLOADING PHOTOS (5) *TR

Front bumper and side view mirror cover (passenger side) have been badly deformed with in past few months and getting worse for a vehicle which is still under warranty (~2 year old and under 36,000 miles). Side view mirror cover (driver side) has also started to deform. Side view mirror cover (passenger side) has been deformed to an extent that a slight hand touch or push detaches it from the vehicle body which means it can become falling or flying object when vehicle is in motion and cause safety hazard. Parts are available for inspection (pictures are also attached). I claimed the manufacturer warranty through a local Toyota dealership and after sending me from one dealership to another, my warranty claim was denied based on the reason that deformation is possibly due to heat reflection which is an outside influence. Other than taking pictures, dealership and manufacturer have not tried to replicate the failure of parts. Dealership & Manufacturer have also failed to rule out any safety issues due to deformed components. As a Toyota customer and vehicle owner, I am highly concerned about (1) If front bumper will function under deformed conditions as it is designed to function and will not cause any safety issues to the vehicle and its occupants (2) Deformed components (One of side view mirror is already started to detach) will not completely detach and become safety hazard. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this matter which looks like a product failure and should be covered under manufacturer warranty or recall.

It's a dangerous thing. The first time it happened to me was on Jun 15, 2021, only the light came on and when I turned off the car the light went off after a month it came on again and turned off by itself, and now it turned on and it doesn't turn off for nothing. and it only says the PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM & CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION alert. I was doing a little research online and I realized that many people have this problem regardless of the vehicle miles and this is dangerous since this happens on local streets or highways regardless of the speed of the vehicle. please investigate. Thank you.

While driving the Camry at 45 mph among the flow of traffic on a state highway in Florida, out of the blue the vehicle's speedometer on the instrument cluster was replaced with a flashing red box and the brakes applied themselves fully with no command or input given whatsoever. The Camry immediately screeched to a stop in the middle of the road within a couple seconds, causing the vehicle behind me to slam into the Camry at full speed. There were no other vehicles or obstacles ahead of me at all, this fact was also observed by witnesses. The automation had triggered for no apparent reason, overriding my control of the Camry and stopping it in the middle of a major highway, causing the accident. Despite the intensity of the crash, the air bags of the vehicle failed to deploy in the impact, worsening the severity of my injuries. Both the Camry and the other motorist's car were rendered inoperable and totaled in the accident, they had to be towed from the scene. The police ruled the cause of the accident to be vehicular malfunction of the Camry.

I have owned 5 Toyotas and a Lexus SUV and never had so many problems. This is a 2020 Camry Hybrid with only 20492 miles on it. It has had to be jump-started 3-4 times so far, but now it has a new issue: While on a road trip with my wife thru Utah, the car suddenly shuts down, bells ringing and messages appearing. Cruise control, Lane departure, and Headlight System Failure. This happened on a 2-lane highway with very minimal shoulder. I pulled over as far as I could, but still slightly in the lane. Turned off the ignition and after a minute or so, was able to restart the car. Noted that the sign on the road said "Next Services 129 Miles"! This was on July 11, 2022 at about 3 PM. Once car was restarted, we drove to our destination without further issues, however I would not use Cruise control for fear it would happen again. Got back to California the next day and took it to dealer to investigate the cause. Their conclusion: "Extreme heat caused the warning lights to come on, but history code indicates that the issue resolved itself. The vehicle is operating normally at this time but the system will be affected by high temperatures and direct sunlight"!!! The temperature on the road at the time was 95 degrees. Dealer contacted Toyota's technical assistance hot line to document concern Case #221930394. Per the service department, they called the field rep who said if everything was functioning at this time, then there was no action to be taken. First of all, I am 75 years old and do not expect this from a car with only 20492 miles on it, and especially not from a Toyota. I find the "solution" to be completely foolish - avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight!! Temperatures over 95 degrees and direct sunlight are common in many states. Can someone please get to the bottom of this? I am beginning to think that I bought a lemon. I am also reporting it to NHTSA, as it is a safety issue that must be dealt with. Thank you,

2020 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TIRES. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE FRONT TIRE CAME APART WHILE DRIVING. *LD *JS

12/20/2019

The tire size is 215/55R17. Within a span of 10 months, THREE of my tires have needed to be replaced, with one of them almost causing me a very serious car accident. The issue appears to be with the sidewall failing. The first time this happened was in September of 2021. I brought the defective tire to a local Bridgestone retail center and my complaint/concerns were completely dismissed by the in-store employee and corporate. The employee contacted corporate on the phone and was told there were no recalls on my Specific tires. The employee insisted that because there was no current “recall,” my tire was not defective. He also stated that I should “trust him” because he’s “been in the business for 25+ years”. Even though there was NO nail or sharp object found, Bridgestone had insisted that I must have ran over something. Relying on their knowledge and response in this matter, I went ahead and purchased the same exact tire at BJs wholesale club. ( I even took the tire to Toyota for inspection and they couldn’t find anything lodged in the tire or evidence to indicate that I ran over any object. They were completely baffled.) Approximately 2 months ago, a second tire had a very similar issue occur out of nowhere. It happened when I was not even a five minute drive from my house. Yet again, the issue was with the sidewall. The tire was damaged beyond repair and I had to get the “donut” put on so that I could drive my car to a tire center to purchase a new tire. Then (not even two weeks later) a different tire went flat in the same exact manner. This incident happened within less than 10 minutes from my house. Nothing appeared to have pierced my tire. I even returned to the area where it went flat and found no evidence of possible road hazards or sharp objects. The rips were located in multiple areas of the tire. This time the damage was much worse and once again the tire was damaged beyond repair. I am fully convinced the tires are defective.

I have replaced my windshield 4 times in a 16 month period. Every time I replace it something very small like a pebble or a big bug hits it and it cracks extremely easy. Once I was cleaning my windshield and lifted the wiper up about 3" and then when I was through I just let it go and it cracked the windshield. I have owned several vehicles and I have never seen a windshield so brittle. Out of the 16 months of owning this car I have only driven it with a non cracked windshield for about 30 days.

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while her vehicle was parked in her driveway, the rear windshield imploded without incident. The contact called the dealer and was offered no immediate assistance. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. Due to a lack of space at the dealer, the contact had to wait two days before the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact believed that the blind spot sensor and the rear defroster had caused the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 35,871

10/18/2021

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that all four doors on the vehicle failed to lock or unlock as needed. The contact stated that the failure initially started with the rear passenger’s side door after the door failed to unlock with the key fob.

There is a current recall on my 2020 camry. I was notified by email in December 2023. It is for the passenger side air bag. I do not feel safe driving the car since being made aware of the recall. The Toyota dealership I go to has said there is nothing they can do as there is no remedy for this recall. I also have had multiple issues over the years with the sensors and battery. I bought the car brand new, with 2 miles I rolled off the lot. A few days after purchasing it my battery died. My battery died multiple times within the first few months, sensors did not work, screen display was off, Toyota said they had to reset the computer software. There was an issue draining the battery. Fast forward to November 2023, I had to buy a new battery. Even though I have had issues with the battery since purchasing the brand new car, I had to pay for the battery out of pocket. Toyota said I just barely missed the warranty. Now once again I have issues with the parking sensors not working and the rear camera display not showing. I get the notification RCD unavailable. Even though my camera is clean and was checked at the dealership. I feel as if I have bought a bad car from the start. And now I do not feel safe driving it as well as being completely frustrated with it. What can I do?

I have to have someone press the button while I use my keys to go on the side to push it open.
