What owners say about the electrical system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“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."”

“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.”

“The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle software had been hacked. While driving with the adaptive cruise control activated, the vehicle erroneously accelerated. Additionally, while operating the vehicle, the infotainment center erroneously connected to the Apple CarPlay and Amazon Music services, and the message "Roads may be Icy - Drive with Care" was displayed, even though the temperature was 85 degrees. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100.”

“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.”
