“On August 15, the car with 55611 miles the car gave the error Power Steering malfunction. Steering power low. Also lights indicating cruise control, lane departure and collision warnings have been disabled. On August 17, I drove the vehicle to the Toyota dealership where I purchased it and they gave me a quote for $5492.72 to fix the issue because it was out of warranty and I did not buy an extended warranty. I took the vehicle home and parked it. Steering the vehicle is extremely hard and all safety features ADAS are disabled.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Aug 2026
“I received the warning "Power Steering Malfunction - Steering Power Low - Visit your Dealer". At this time the car pre-collition warning, power steering, lane-change-warning, all stopped working. I took the vehicle to the dealer, they asked that I pay $ 5,492.72 for repairs. Because the vehicle has 55,711 and it is considered out of Warranty. The sales manager said that it was my fault for not purchasing an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle 3 weeks prior. The vehicle was purchased with 51,537 miles from Mark McLarty Toyota, located at 4336 Landers Rd. North Little Rock, AR 72117”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Aug 2026
“When I drove my car earlier the car audio was maximum because I was listening to something quiet. Later that day I went to start a video that was much much louder. The sound blasted for a couple of seconds and my ears really hurt. I do not believe at this time that I have permanent damage but it is very painful. Cars should not start with the audio at maximum volume, this is a real safety hazard.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Aug 2026
“The wireless charging system in the car makes my battery in my phone very hot. It is located in the center console area. This could cause a fire. I know I am not the only person to have this issue, as I have read it many times in forums on the car. There needs to be some external cooling of some sort of design change.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jul 2026
“The forward collision warning system emits a warning sound even when the car is in reverse. I was close enough to the door of my garage so that the forward warning was beeping. Since this always occurs when I back out of my driveway, I ignored the beeping. Unfortunately there was also something behind me and I backed into a low trash can. This could have been much more serious. The fact that the forward collision warning system stays active when backing up produces alarm fatigue and masks any warning from the reverse system.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Jun 2026
“About a minute after the car is turned off (i.e. when in park and the push-button start is turned off), a warning on the heads up display will appear that reads "Low Battery Turn Power OFF." It is unknown what causes this issue, but the vehicle has already been taken for maintenance once for this issue, and is reoccurring again less than a month after the initial problematic battery was fully replaced. There is no indication as to what is causing this issue, but maintenance had seen this issue several times before in 2025 Camry models.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jun 2026
“The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that there was a persistent rattling sound coming from the sunroof assembly while driving at undisclosed speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection; however, the service department was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.”Owner report · Visibility · May 2026
