CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2005 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2005 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 2005 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

This is my first Toyota and may be the last, I just spent $1350 for replacement of the throttle. I have owned Cadillacs, Chevrolet, Buicks and Mitsubishi and never had to spend this kind of money in any of them. Plus, I'm handicapped and for me to be left stranded in the middle of the road was torture. First, in the place where I religiously do the maintenance of the car, the told me it was a throttle problem, it would cost me $150 to clean it with a 95% chance that it would solve the problem, well my car was in the other 5% and a week later I spent $1200 in the agency to replace the throttle.
