The contact owns a 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

While driving my 2026 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid at approximately 10 mph in a parking lot, the vehicle accelerated on its own without any input from me. I applied hard braking to bring the vehicle under control. No collision occurred. The specific component or system that failed is UNKNOWN — I suspect the speed control, powertrain, or electrical throttle system, but this has not yet been diagnosed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly at low speed in a parking lot, an environment with pedestrians, parked vehicles, and other close-proximity hazards. I had to brake hard to stop it, which could have resulted in a collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a fixed object had I not been able to react in time. The problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. I reported the incident to Toyota the day after it occurred; Toyota opened case number 260811002989 and scheduled a diagnostic inspection appointment. As of this filing, that inspection has not yet taken place. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before or during the incident. The dashboard showed no malfunction indicators at any point.

While actively moving at highway speeds on July 13, 2026, the vehicle suffered an instantant, total loss of all 12V electrical auxiliary power. The dashboard flashed 'Hybrid System Malfunction' and 'Drive-Start Control Malfunction' before all digital instrument clusters, center infotainment displays, and cabin lights went completely dark. Power steering and braking assist dropped to emergency backup thresholds, creating an extreme safety hazard. The vehicle was moved to a dealership where it has remained disabled for 17 days waiting on factory engineering guidance.

Annotated § 55-24-101 et seq. that my 2026 Toyota Camry is a "lemon" due to a substantial safety defect that remains unremedied. Specifically, the vehicle is subject to a safety recall regarding "loss of drive power while driving at higher speeds or a vehicle fire could increase the risk of a crash or an injury.", which substantially impairs the safety and use of the vehicle. As of the date of this letter, my vehicle has been out of service for 30 calendar days because the authorized dealer, Capital Toyota, has informed me there is "no remedy" available to safely repair the vehicle. I am hereby requesting that Toyota provide a full refund of the purchase price, $32,799, or a comparable replacement vehicle. Please contact me within ten (10) days of receipt of this letter to coordinate the resolution of this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] Toyota Motor replied they just going to fix it when it becomes available INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This is a manufacturer safety recall (the federal safety agency #25V869) for a loose bolt inside the hybrid inverter that could cause loss of motive power or a vehicle fire. The vehicle was sold to me as new with the recall already open and unrepaired. As of this date, Toyota has not made the remedy available, more than 6 months after the recall was announced. I am concerned about driving the vehicle given the fire/power-loss risk described in the official recall notice.

I had just bought the car from the Dealer and was to drive it back home. I got about 30 miles from the Dealership and the check engine light came on. It stated malfunction in the awd system so now on two wheel drive then it stated start control malfunction and finally hybrid system malfunction. I returned it to the dealership and they said that the first diagnostic stated it was throwing high voltage. Looking on line when I got home I noticed the recall of many Toyota camrys for the loose bolt causing this issue and there is yet to be a fix for it. The manufacturer should take all those cars back so they cannot be sold and cause a risk till they can fix it. It makes a dealership look bad and puts innocent people at risk if they are not aware of the issue.

Sheehy Toyota of Laurel sold me a vehicle that was on a stop sale for a serious defect recall. The dealership sold the car to me the same day the stop sale was lifted WITHOUT addressing the recall, and lied about them fixing it before it was purchased.
