2012 Toyota Camry electrical problems

Filed Oct 7, 2026 · Electrical · TN

Two issues involving fuses at approximately 135,000 miles. The fuse for my backup camera has not worked since I bought the car at 130,000 miles. There is no light for this. I have tried any at home remedies to no avail. This could pose to be an issue as I cannot see if a small child is behind my car. A couple of months later (around 135,000 miles) the fuse for my tire pressure sensor stopped working as well. There is a light for the tire pressure system that actually interferes with the light for if the tire is low. I now have to go by sight because the light is always on due to the sensor malfunction. My tire was at 22 psi, but I did not know because the tire light flashed for the sensor rather than indicating it was low. This is only an issue because the sensor light is the same light as the pressure. No professional has checked either issue to my knowledge.

I am noticing there is some wiggling and play with the driver’s seat. Every time I hop inside the car, I feel the seat wiggle back a little bit. I notice some movement back and forth when accelerating and braking and it is starting to get very annoying whenever I drive.

"I was driving when the passenger airbag light came on and wouldn't turn off. At the same time, my steering wheel locked up, and my car started making a whining/humming sound. The lights began blinking on and off, and the battery light came on, even though the battery was brand new. Finally, my car completely shut off while I was driving in the middle of the street." A few years ago, I encountered a similar situation when a new computer component was installed, but they had trouble identifying the issues. It ended up costing me over a thousand dollars for problems they weren't certain about. Each time they added more parts, it turned out that it wasn't the solution. I'm hesitant to take it back to the dealership for fear of facing the same issues again. I plan to file a formal complaint and seek advice or assistance regarding this issue. Upon reviewing previous complaints, I noticed several similarities. I was never contacted by anyone regarding the recall on the airbag issues, and I would like this to be rectified immediately.

I had trouble starting my car, so I received a jump. My car started up just fine and was driving normally. After about 2-3 minutes, I had noticed the eps light pop up on my dash. At that point, my car became difficult to steer. I had to pull the wheel hard to change lanes a d even harder to be able to make any turns. After about another minute or two, all of the warning lights in my dash it up, and the car completely shut off. I was unable to start it at that point or turn the wheel. I received a jump start again, and the same exact thing happened. The car drove normal for a few minutes. The eps light came on again. Steering became difficult again. Then all the lights on the dash flashed, and the car died again. Thankfully I was not on a major road either time that it had died.

The center electronic 6 function etune console, which contains the radio/cd player, GPS, car and cell phone operations, died on nov 16, 2020. I made appointment and took it to daytona toyota the next day. The tech did a diagnostic and told me that the radio unit was fried. Sm said a replacement unit would cost $827. I agreed. I drove my car home and noticed that the radio had revived, but the only thing in the lcd panel was the station # in the top left corner of screen. No other function worked and I noticed for the first time that the steering wheel stereo/mode controls did not work. I brought the car back 4 days later to have the radio replaced and told them that the old radio am/fm had been working, but none of the other functions, and the steering wheel function buttons did not work. The tech did a 2nd diagnostic and found that the wiring harness had become twisted and some of the connectors pulled loose. They told me it would be an additional $650 to replace the defective wiring harness. They ordered the part and replaced it two days later. Has any other toyota owner reported this problem?
