CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2003 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2003 Camry is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models had an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where their data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Camry acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2003 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.
when I am driving down the road I can hear and feel everytime I hit a bump or imperfection in the road. It seems like it is coming more in the rear almost like you can here it in the trunk. A car repair shop said that it could be the struts but with the amount of mileage I have on it . That should not be likely they would go that soon. I don't know if this is just the way my tires are I have only owned the car about a month or so. I am taking it next month on a trip and I am afraid there is something wrong with it. It drives very smooth only when I go over something in the road you can here it and feel it
