Have had this Camry hybrid for 3 months. When going down a hill and braking to a stop, if it hits a bump with both front wheels, the wheels go airborne and actually fly, maybe for a foot or so. Of course, your braking is not working during this airborne moment, so it's pretty unnerving as you approach the stop or the car in front of you. A similar effect occurs going uphill or level: if I hit a bump that affects both front wheels at once, the car is jolted with a bang. There is something about the front suspension that causes the entire front to overreact when hitting both wheels. This has not been an issue with our 3 other vehicles. If I drive the right wheel in the gutter around a speed bump, which is the fast way to go over speed bumps, then there is no big jolt from just the left tire hitting the speed bump. But if I hit it or a similar ridge with both tires - bang. Perhaps this is related to the weight of the battery being in back, but it's definitely a design matter that should be fixed.
