What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The car steered on its own without warning of Lane Departure
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.
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.
I have almost caused an accident because of this delayed acceleration when I’m trying to turn or merge into traffic. The car seems to do it randomly so there’s no telling when it’s going to actually accelerate or have the delay, but it has happened frequently enough that I am concerned.
The vehicle has an intermittent and unpredictable hesitation when I press the accelerator. At times, the vehicle does not respond normally to accelerator input and hesitates before providing power. After the hesitation, the vehicle can suddenly surge forward.
The windshield wipers are too slow in heavy rain. It is impossible to see in front of you and can cause wrecks.
Message on dashboard stating electric power steering malfunction see dealer. Brought vehicle to dealership they said we need a new steering rack steering is tight at times
Driver’s door would not open with keyless entry and window switch will not work for back passenger windows. Believed to be related to master switch. Door will only open after manual entry with key and windows only work with individual switch on each door.
