CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2004 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2004 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 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 2004 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.
HEADLINER IS COMING LOOSE BY THE REAR WINDOW. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE USED MORE MATERIAL TO WHEN PUTTING THE HEADLINER IN , IN FACT THE RIGHT SIDE IS DOING THE SAME THING. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO HAVE IT FIX, I THOUGHT THESE CARS WERE PUT TOGETHER TO LAST.

Headliner came off on both sides by the back. Just glued it back on. Not a big deal at all. It's old, so not unexpected.
