2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid: windshield wiper failure

Filed Oct 16, 2026 · Visibility · FL

Driver side windshield wiper constantly streaks on the return stroke despite replacing the wiper blades several times. This creates difficulty seeing when raining. I have tried several different brands (including Toyota OEM) wiper blades and they ALL streak on the driver side directly in the line of sight. This apparently is a known issue and I would like it fixed but the dealer will not do anything about it.

Wiper blades motor is way too slow. This is on high and dangerously to slow to operate my vehicle in semi heavy rainfall. All my other vehicles are way faster. The 2025 hybrid is the unsafest to drive in rain. Online many have stated same issues. One owner mentioned coming here to report it.

I am writing to report a couple of issues with my new 2025 Camry LE, which I purchased just one week ago. First, I've noticed a significant squeaking noise when I apply the brakes while reversing or parking. This is a consistent sound and is quite loud. It's look like there an issue with brake in new car Additionally, the windshield wipers are making a lot of noise. I've never experienced this with other vehicles, including my 2022 car, which has much quieter wipers. The noise from the new Camry's wipers is quite distracting.

A few days ago, when driving along the highway, I was caught in a massive rain storm. I'm talking deluge that made visibility difficult even with the wipers on max power. As I'm driving along, the one thing keeping me from playing bumper cars with anyone in front of me was the taillights cutting through the visual noise. However, I began to approach a vehicle whose taillights I did not see until it was too late. Thankfully they were in the other lane, so I did not hit them, however, their taillights appeared to be off. As I got closer, I realized that the taillights were on and, in fact, so we're the hazards. They just didn't have the brightness to cut through all that rain. Then, to my horror, I noticed that the vehicle was another 2025 Toyota Camry, exactly like mine. I confirmed later with friends who were following us. In that rain, our taillights were invisible, even when all around us were shining through the noise. The taillight design on these Camrys needs to be fixed for the safety of those driving them, as well as the safety of others on the road. It is entirely possible that if I were to have been in the same lane as that other Camry, I would have rear-ended them. Luckily in this case everyone was safe.

I just bought 2025 Camry SE in late November 2024. when it was raining wind shield was very poor visibility with the wipers is on. Especially, driver's side wiper screeching or chattering, streaking. Visibility is worse at rainy night with opposite traffic head light. I couldn't see clear enough and I was scared that I might get into accident. I took it to dealer and stated problem and they didn't fix the problem. So, I changed to new wipers but still the same problem. Even daytime, wiper don't' give clear wipe. I don't know what to do if raining again. I Think it's the wiper arms is defected.
