CarComplaints.com Notes: The Camry Hybrid's first year is a mixed bag of brake actuators failing and power issues. The hybrid version even shares the same excessive oil consumption as its non-hybrid counterpart. And it hardly gets enough fuel efficiency gains to warrant the extra costs up-front or during repairs.
Toyota seemed to get their act together with later model years, so if you're looking for a used Camry Hybrid I suggest looking there.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
ABS was activated randomly and I had problems stopping. I had a message on the dashboard indicating the parking brake was activated when it was not. The message indicated to check the vac system. Toyota claimed the computers didn't show any error codes. They initially denied any problems and attributed this to driver error. After a few weeks trying to get them to fix this problem I caught the problem on video using my cellphone and showed it to the dealership. They used my extended warranty to change the actuator and billed my warranty for $2,000. My main complaint is that I almost got in a car accident because they refused to acknowledge the problem and told me it was 1) probably my floor mat; 2) my driving. I have receipts and the video to back up this complaint.
