2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid problems

“The contact's son owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact and her son discovered razor-thin lines across the dashboard on the front passenger’s side air bag. The contact and her son were concerned that the passenger’s side air bag might not operate as intended due to the cracks on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V511000 (Exterior Lighting, Seat Belts, Electrical System). The dealer determined that there were cracks in the dashboard and recommended that the dashboard be replaced. The dealer submitted photos to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer responded that the dashboard was not covered under warranty and the cracks were due to other issues. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 5,500.”

“The 2025 Toyota Camry SE Hybrid suffered a catastrophic electronic brake-by-wire and computer network failure during a low-speed stop. The brake pedal went completely mushy, and the vehicle registered zero deceleration for a full second, causing a collision. Immediately after impact, the dashboard displayed systemic failures across multiple ADAS and safety networks, specifically throwing explicit alerts for 'Airbag Malfunction,' 'Headlight Malfunction,' and 'System Malfunction.' The vehicle is currently held at Toyota Carlsbad under Corporate Case 261007001900. Local dealer mechanics have already officially inspected the footwell and ruled out any driver floor mat obstruction. A minor child was injured and evaluated at the Tri-City Medical Center Emergency Room."”

“Driver side windshield wiper constantly streaks on the return stroke despite replacing the wiper blades several times. This creates difficulty seeing when raining. I have tried several different brands (including Toyota OEM) wiper blades and they ALL streak on the driver side directly in the line of sight. This apparently is a known issue and I would like it fixed but the dealer will not do anything about it.”

“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.”

“The vehicle has encountered repeated hybrid system and battery-related issues. Symptoms have included stalling, sudden loss of power, hybrid warning messages, charging/battery malfunction warnings, electrical system irregularities, and unsafe driving behavior. The exact root cause is currently UNKNOWN. However, based on the recurring issues and vehicle behavior, the concern appears related to the hybrid battery and/or associated electrical systems. The condition has affected the vehicle’s reliability and safe operation.”
