Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Structure

11 reports
“The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the carpeting on the driver's side foot well was coming unglued on the left side, close to the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to have the carpet reglued. The vehicle was repaired; however, the carpet started to detach again from the vehicle's foot well, and the contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer and was advised that it was a known issue, and there was a Technical Service Bulletin: SB-0101-24 for the repair. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.”

Air bags

6 reports3 crashes
“The entirety of the front of my car was destroyed and was deemed a total loss by insurance and repair shop. Yet, the air bags never went off. Everyone, including the police officers at the scene were surprised that it did not go off. The other vehicle in the incident had their airbags deployed. Due to my airbags not deploying, my head was shot forward and backwards. I went to the ER that night because my head had been in serious discomfort and pain. Additionally, to this day (1/8/26), my upper back and neck has been in pain and sore. There were no warnings and problems prior to the failure of the airbags being deployed.”
