The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the braking system erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to decelerate unintendedly. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, and a field representative was sent to the dealer to examine the vehicle. During the diagnostic test, the vehicle control history report stated that the accelerator pedal and brake pedal had been depressed simultaneously and was caused by driver error. The contact stated that driver error was not the cause of the failure. Additionally, while operating the vehicle, the Lane Departure feature malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to erroneously steer into the opposite lane of oncoming traffic. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 5,555.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I'm writing this for my father because he might not have the technical capacity to do this. He is [XXX] old. He bought a car last year brand new from Toyota. It is a Hybrid Camry that has some options that allow the car to follow traffic, lane keep etc. On [XXX] he had a Hybrid System Malfunction that caused the car to accelerate while at a traffic light ready to turn left. The acceleration caused his car to collide with the car in front of him. He tried to press the brakes but was not able to do it fast enough. The car in front had no damage. His car has a lot of damage. The other driver drove off. His car was damaged so much that it was not drivable. There was radiator fluid on the road. This was on [XXX]. He took the car in immediately after back to the Toyota dealership. The car is still there. It has been almost 40 days now with no resolution. No car, no rental. The dealership is saying Toyota (the headquarters has to deal with it), and Toyota did a 3rd party inspection on Nov 11, 2025. And now they are saying they will do another Toyota inspection between 30 and 45 business days from the initial inspection. So that takes us into mid January 2026 with my dad stranded with no car or having to uber or pay out of pocket to rent a car. On top of that, the dealership now has told my dad he has to get the car off their lot or start accumulating fees. They performed an EDR report. Attachin below. I am also attaching several pictures of the error messages I got including proximity notification system malfunction. And other documents.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The headlights do not project far enough down the road making it difficult to see at night. It almost appears as if the headlights are pointing down. This is a hugh safety issue. I brought my car in to the dealer and was told that my headlights match all other 2024 camry's and there is nothing that can be done unless Toyota issues a safety recall. I have researched this issue and found many complaints online.

The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph on the last lane during traffic, and depressed the brake pedal when another vehicle suddenly rear-ended their vehicle, causing them to rear-end the vehicle in front. The vehicle that rear-ended the contact was also rear-ended as a result of the crash, causing a second impact from the rear to the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front a second time. The incident involved 6 vehicles in total. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact received back injuries, and medical attention was sought. The contact did not receive reports that any other persons were injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven to the residency, but once parked, an unknown warning flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who, after inspecting the damage on the vehicle, determined that the vehicle was not worth being repaired, especially due to the extensive damage done to its front-end. The vehicle was 80% damaged and therefore considered totaled. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,412.

SEAT BELTS

The seat belt on the right side in the second row failed to work. My son-in-law was sitting in that position when I, who was driving, began to proceed through an intersection when I thought the light had turned green. When I realized I was wrong, I slammed on the brakes. His seatbelt did not arrest his forward movement, and he hit the back of the right front passenger seat. Thank goodness I had only been going about 5 mph. Also, the belt did not retract afterwards. For the remaining two blocks of our trip, he had a few feet of slack seat belt in front of him. I have not yet reported the issue to Toyota.

The vehicle allows the engine to be turned off, key removed, while the vehicle is still in drive with no warning lights or sounds. I have tested and the vehicle can roll away. Complained to the toyota dealership and they said the service tech consulted with toyota headquarters and determined no fix was possible because this is normal function of the the vehicle. However, this is a concerning safety hazard because the vehicle can roll. But also, is against the standards. Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention, mandates that vehicles with an automatic transmission and a "park" position must have a key-locking system that prevents key removal unless the transmission is locked in "park" or becomes locked in "park" as a direct result of removing the key.

The sunroof on my Camry would not close. I took it to Toyota in were they determined that the cables bound up in the track and the only fix was a new roof assembly. This is a safety risk because if the sunroof cannot close it allows the vehicle to be susceptible to outdoor elements as well as safety issues regarding theft. The problem was seen and confirmed by the Toyota dealership, in where they replaced the roof assembly in its entirety under warranty. There were no warning lights that were triggered by the roof become inoperable. They appeared the day I took it in to get serviced, February 28, 2025. The vehicle has only been inspected by the Toyota Dealership Service Center. We were told that there is no remedy to this issue, and that frequent use will ultimately lead to the roof assembly needing to be replaced again. A cost of $10,000 that was luckily covered under warranty. This is an insane amount of money, and the resolution of "don't use your sunroof" is laughable. When you purchase a car, it is to be able to use it in it's entirety. If I didn't want to use a sunroof, I would have purchase one with one. The dealership said they were not going to submit this as a possible recall.

The dealership and manufacturer will not provide mco on the vehicle they sold me as new. I think they’re title cloning or washing and committing odometer fraud. They don’t submit to the dmv actual details of make model
