Issue #1: When driving the vehicle, the center display will stop working, audio and other functions remain working, however there is no display, including when the vehicle is in reverse, resulting in a loss of visibility when backing due to the camera not being displayed, this presents a safety issue as a safety feature (the reverse camera) is not working. When the vehicle was taken in to the dealer under warranty, the dealer stated if the unit was replaced that the issue would “just happen again” and the only solution offered was to wait for a software update. A case has been opened with Toyota on this matter and they are unable to provide an ETA on when an update will be available, and are refusing to replace the display under warranty. Issue #2: The front bumper is pulling away from the headlight assembly on the driver side, this issue was addressed with 2 Toyota dealers, hey stated the clips under the headlight have broken causing the bumper to separate, claiming it was due to an “outside element” as the hood has been repainted and doesn’t match the bumper paint due to a scratch on the hood, when this was explained, they then changed their story stating there was a repair to the bumper, which is also incorrect as I have owned the vehicle since it was new, they then changed their explanation again stating there was damage under the front of the vehicle which is also incorrect, the vehicle has never been in an accident and has no damage other than rock chips that have been corrected with touch up paint to prevent rust. This causes a safety issue as the bumper is no longer secure in all areas, which they are also refusing to cover under warranty.

What owners say
Upon shifting into reverse, the rearview camera system failed to provide a usable image, displaying only a solid white screen. This total loss of visibility occurred without warning and is a direct non-compliance with FMVSS 111. This failure mode is consistent with the Parking Assist ECU software errors currently being investigated and recalled under the federal safety agency 25V‑744 for 2025 Toyota vehicles. The lack of a functioning rearview image directly resulted in a collision
Rear backup camera screen goes blank when car put into reverse. This occurs intermittently.
Infotainment system glitching with green lines and blacking out when utilizing back up camera. Could cause potential safety concerns or accidents. Have video evidence, reported to Toyota, no remedies due to "No active recalls". No indication or symptoms prior to failure. First appeared on October 11, 2025, appeared again October 21, 2025.
While driving my 2025 Toyota Camry, the infotainment/navigation display screen (center console multimedia system) will randomly and sporadically shut down completely, leaving the screen blank without warning. This has happened multiple times, including while I was backing up and relying on the backup camera, creating an unsafe situation by eliminating visibility. When the screen goes blank while driving, I lose access to navigation, vehicle settings, and other safety-related features, which increases the risk of distraction and potential accidents. There are no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to the failure and it occurs suddenly. I reported the issue to my Toyota dealership, and they acknowledged it as a factory issue, but I have not been given a timeline for a fix, which has been very frustrating. The vehicle is still available for inspection upon request. I have also seen numerous reports online from other 2025 Camry owners experiencing the same issue, which suggests this may be a widespread defect.
