Takata recall; my car was involved in a accident that required my car to be totaled. After reviewing the damage to the front end, we are concerned that the air bags did not come out in this accident.
2013 Toyota Camry body complaints

Bought this used toyota camry se 2013 yesterday with only 30,000 miles on it. Right away, I heard creaking noise coming from the center of the dashboard and by the front passenger side. It's not very loud but can be heard and very annoying. It's audible when car is in motion especially when stepping on the gas, brakes and when turning. Not normal for a 3 year old to have this intermittent and annoying creaking sound. I immediately researched on it and to my shock, there's a lot of blogs and posted videos on this same exact issue of creaking sound by the dashboard and front passenger seat for most vehicles of toyota regardless of model and dominant on those manufactured since 2013. Toyota should have a fix on this since this is a three year old issue.

Trunk lid wont hold up. It easily collapses if car is parked on the slightest of incline or is hit with a slight breeze. The trunk has collapses on my head several times while unloading groceries. My concern is the trunk lid closing on a toddler. My other two camrys, year 2001 and 2003, do not have that problem. Those older camrys seem to have stronger torsion bars and/or hinges and/or holding mechanisms. Toyota dealership tells me they found nothing wrong with the trunk lid and its mechanism.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota camry. While driving at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle shook. The contact noticed that snow accumulated inside all four wheel wells and turned into ice. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there where chunks of ice inside of the wheel wells that needed to be removed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.
Anytime during warm weather when the air conditioner has been/is being used there is a disgusting foul mildew odor immediately upon starting the vehicle. The odor is nauseating and causes headaches. Every time the car is driven, I have to turn on the heat and put all the windows down for about 5-10 minutes to get rid of the odor. Apparently there is an issue with condensation from the AC not draining properly. I have been able to find several similar complaints online. Some dealerships claim they have never heard of this issue, while others admit that they are aware of it but that toyota has no "fix" for it. Breathing in mold is a safety concern. This does not occur in the winter when AC is not used.
I heard this persistent moderately loud knocking noise, which sounded liked it was actually coming from the front left(?) wheel area. As soon as you start driving, the knocking sound occurs, stops, and stops again. It is most persistent while driving over uneven street pavement.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota camry. After reading a publication, the contact realized that the vehicle had a defective front end structure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
Mice crawling up your legs while going freeway speeds almost caused me to crash with my family trying to get away from them. Toyota needs to deal with the mouse problems in their camry's and figure out a way of keeping them out. I know lives will be lost because of this manufacturing problem that could be prevented. They are nesting and dying in the ventilation system and that is very unhealthy breathing mouse droppings and rotting mice.
Roughly a few weeks after purchasing my 2013 camry se and about 500 miles, I noticed a popping/clunking sound coming from the roof over the driver side. It seems to happen <30 MPH and on uneven/bumpy ground. To date it has been in the toyota maintenance shop for 35 days and counting without any improvements. No one at the dealership service department has an idea of what is causing the sound or how to fix it. I am concerned that there may be some undiagnosed structural issue. They have mentioned in the previous repair attempt that the roof may be too thin allowing the metal to flex too much.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota camry. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle the check engine light illuminated. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that rodents had damaged the electrical wiring by attempting to build a nest inside the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 6000. Updated 02/11/2014

I experienced an sudden unintended acceleration condition on my 2013 camry se on 08/20/2013. The car hit a big tree and was not repairable, total-ed. Thanks to the air-bags, I only had a couple of bruises here and there.
Car was stopped behind a landscaper's trailer for a second and the engine accelerated so fast and so loudly and overrode the brake smashing into the back of the trailer. Husband was unable to reach the keys to turn off the engine. Wife was injured in chest area and taken to the hospital. This was a loaner from toyota until they investigated why our highlander was accelerating the day before. *tr the consumer stated toyota insisted there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.
