This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Intermittent EPS warning light illuminates during highway driving with steering wheel lock-up subsequently followed by a reset of certain electrically powered items associated with but not necessarily limited to the following systems: 1. Stability Control System warning indication 2. TPMS light 3. Radio power cycles 4. Check engine light. After turning the car off and then back on again these issues clear initially, but will intermittently happen at random durations of time anywhere from an additional 1 to 3 hours of driving. I've been discussing with Toyota Customer Service, who has known issues with the 2015 Toyota Camry under NHTSA Campaign ID: 15V144000, but they are trying to tell me that it only applies to V6 and Hybrid 2015 Camry's. I feel that this is also applicable to my vehicle VIN: [XXX]. I feel Toyota is refusing to acknowledge this critical safety issue affecting more 2015 Toyota Camry vehicles. I've never had an issue like this with 5 other previously owned vehicles. When asked if I could pay for the fix myself they informed me that it is not possible without a recall! My Toyota dealer is refusing to fix the issue and Toyota Customer Service hasn't responded in over 3 weeks to my inquiry.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, a warning chime sounded. The steering warning light and other unknown warning lights illuminated; however, the vehicle continued to operate normally and without incident.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
My electronic control unit went out in three years...not able to program anything or listen to radio. I understand that Toyota had a manufacture problem with models from 2014 and 2015.... which my car falls in there. They are not acknowledging this problem and said they dont have a recall. However Toyota did send out notification to mechanics telling them there was issues with these ecus. Stanionary
In 2015, the Toyota Camry SE suddenly did not start, so I thought it was a battery problem and changed it, but the same problem occurred and it was sent to the repair shop for inspection and the starting fuse disappeared. Then, before the problem occurred, the right door glass open sweetie did not work among the switches on the driver side.
Was driving and slowing down for a light and could feel that car was losing control and breaks did not seem to work properly, then the care stalled and stopped, so turned car off and turned back on again and started. Same thing happened about 10 times and when I finally went back home because I was afraid to go further, I could smell gas when I exited my vehicle. Each time it stalled, I had to restart in order to go again, very scarry and everyone beeping at me doesnt help.
Car caught fire in driveway. Causing massive damage in the trunk where battery and hybrid system is all the way up to the full engine compartment. 2am...spontaneous massive electrical fire. Car had been parked for 7 hours. Not hot. In driveway. Not confined in any way.
I was driving my vehicle and suddenly I completely loss power steering control. I nearly crashed! my steering became very difficult to manage while it made an awful "grinding" noise when I attempted to steer the vehicle. I was driving on los angeles avenue (118 hwy) in moorpark, ca. I do not recall if I was turning; but I recall I was at a stop light, then took off and suddenly loss power steering. I googled this issue and noticed that there was a recall for my exact problem and make/model/year of my car (2015 Toyota Camry SE 2.5L at). I called the dealership and they are claiming there is no recall and won't honor my information. The exact recall # = 15V144000. Please help, I am scared to drive my car and don't have over $2000+ to fix according to simi valley Toyota dealership.

Bought with 22K miles about 1 1/2 years ago. The cruise control speed and the speedometer issues have always been present. When using cruise control (under 45 Suburban and urban streets) the car sometimes cannot regulate on slight inclines and speeds up by up to 5 mph over setting and doesn't decelerate. Several times it's done it on flat roads. It's never done this on the freeway even coming up slopes. It's rare that my digital speed reading is the same as my set cruise control speed. My digital speed reading also usually differs from my speedometer by about 2-4 mph also, sometime last summer an issue with my brakes has been occurring and is becoming more frequent. When first starting my car (I notice it on damp or dewy mornings) I can hear my brakes as I'm backing down my slightly sloped, cement driveway. I put my car in reverse and barely tap the gas because I go very slowly because we have a short driveway (35-40ft total) and a little lip at the entrance where the driveway meets our culdesac. It's not every morning and I've never noticed it any other times. Sounds like when brake pads are wearing down and feels almost spongy when pressing brake pedal. No squealing or chirping. Ive had my brakes checked twice and they're in good shape. *current mileage is approx 42K
I purchased this car in 2017, after about 6 months or more I noticed a knocking noise when I turned into my driveway or made a right turn. I took it to vandergriff Toyota and after taking it back a few times, one of the technician heard the knocking sound and said it was the sunroof, I hadn't opened the sunroof since the guy at vandergriff Honda sold me the car. I called the Toyota customer service number, informed the young man I had googled sunroof recall and saw that it included 2014 and some 2015 Toyota Camry's, I gave him my VIN number and he said this particular car VIN number was not listed and there was nothing they could do for me. I asked to speake to his supervisor, he put me on hold, came back and stated again there nothing Toyota can do. I don't have $2500 dollars or more to fix a factory defect and would think Toyota would step up and do the right thing. I bought the car in January 2017, and the problem began around June 2017. I hope you can find that recall and fix my car.
My car was driving and my lights went crazy and wheels locked up I changed battery changed alternator and something still draining battery and it's the ECU for my power steering
The car has stalled three times, twice on the highway, once losing power steering. Twice accelerating at 5 and 50 mph and once idling at 30 mph. Battery and charging system errors on dash. Each time, pulling over, going to park, and restarting works. Crank position sensor was replaced after second stall based on engine code P0339.
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and independently restarted. The contact stated that the failure recurred six times. The contact also stated that a warning indicator illuminated for the steering wheel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Toyota direct (4248 morse rd, columbus, oh 43230, (614) 476-1979)was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that there would be a cost assessed to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15V144000 (steering). The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 66,048.
The "smart key" ignition system sometimes fails to work, at irregular intervals. Dealer service people say the way to correct the failure is to open and close the driver's door. The system then reboots and usually works ok thereafter -- usually. Today the car was parked, she entered, and the key fob failed to work. She had to open and close the driver's door 4 times before it did work. This is a safety problem when she is frequently the last person out of the lot at work, and she must open and close her door before the car will start and the phone blue-tooth will work. The dealer pleads ignorance even though his service people are familiar with this. Car is parked in modern garage or outdoors.
Rodent ate my wire harness. Heard they were soy based wires. Cost $1729.36 dollars to fix. Car was in driveway in Florida and engine light came on when I started it. They told me at miracle Toyota in haines city Florida that something ate my wires.
When accelerating from a complete stop or when slowing down to make a left turn, it hesitates as if the car has stalled when stepping on the gas pedal to go. It will go about 5 -10 feet just enough to get you out there into traffic and then nose dives because it loses all forward power, steady pressure on gas pedal and milking gas pedal does not make it resume any faster. So far it has lasted 30 to 45 seconds and then resumes. The rpms stay at about 1 (idle) and the eco light flashes randomly but car does not stall so far just loses forward motion and wont accelerate out of the way of traffic oncoming and behind you. This has happened 9-10 time Oct 2016-Dec 2016
The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Camry. On several occasions, when depressing the start button, the vehicle would not start and all the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a dead cell in the battery. The battery was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000.
