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,Forward Collision Avoidance · 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,Unknown Or Other · 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
Pulling into driveway and Stepped on brakes at less than 5 mph and whole car started shaking out of nowhere (similar feeling to when you land on the runway in a plane). Steered sharply to not hit other vehicle and hit a tree. Car was inspected less than 3 days ago.Owner report · Electrical System,Unknown Or Other,Service Brakes · Apr 2026
On April 28 at 9:35AM I was exiting the parking lot in my 2025 Toyota Camry and I experienced a sudden and unintended surge of acceleration. My foot was not on the accelerator. I was coasting with foot off accelerator to exit parking lot at a speed of under 8mph when the car suddenly jerked forward and surged to 30mph. The car came to a sudden stop in the middle of the road after running stop sign and exiting the parking lot without driver input. I was jerked forward after driving very fast over a very large curb.Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Apr 2026
Tires have a bad vibration and howling noise. Have complained to dealership several times since below 15k miles.... Dealer keeps deflecting.Owner report · Wheels · Apr 2026
The driver seat pops and shifts around unexpectedly when driving. It feels like I am going to loose control of the vehicle as I have to adjust my seating position while the car is in motion. And this movement is very distracting. Visited dealership twice already and dealer says this is common issue with new 2025/2026 Camry.Owner report · Seats · Apr 2026
The driver's seat has an issue with the backrest where something inside the seat feels loose. The driver notices this during acceleration, braking, traversing rough roads, and turning. The dealership agreed that there is a problem and stated that the Tundra has a TSB for this type of issue, but there is nothing for the Camry.Owner report · Seats · Apr 2026
