Read complaints for TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID (2011)
While driving the car, the "check hybrid system" light came on and the car lost power.the car had very little power and just crept at a very low rate.stepping on the throttle pedal did not do any good.if we were in traffic we would have been in a dangerous safety situation.we had the car towed to a dealer and are waiting for an assessment.we have seen on toyota nationthat this is not an isolated case.why hasn't a recall or an alert been issued for this situation.it is very similar to the ignition key problem where the engine is inadvertently shut-off. We have been lucky that this happened close to our residence.if my wife had been driving with our grandchildren in the car, who knows what would have happened.this is a serious safety condition that must be addressed by toyota.at the toyota dealer, we could not duplicate the "check hybrid system" condition and we are not comfortable about driving this car if toyota can not assess and fix this unsafe condition.
This is the second time the fog light has broken on this vehicle since i bought it new in 2011.i believe this is a very costly design flaw that toyota refuses to take responsibility for.replacement of the fog light is about $250.00i would like this to become a re-call item for toyota.thank you
On 9/7/13, while accelerating onto route 80 in nj, i pushed the gas pedal to the floor, the accelerator stuck flat on the floor. I had to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Fortunately nobody was next to me. I was finally able to use the side of my foot to pop it back up. It performed normally after that, though i did not push it to the floor again.

Brake actuator comes on often and loudly. The dealership will not replace until it fails. The service managers response is:yes we have confirmed it is starting to failyes we have confirmed it is louder than normalyes, if it fails while driving you will lose power braking and your anti-lock brakes. Yes, i would definitely say that it will fail within the extended warranty period of 4 more years or 150,000 miles.but no, we will not replace it under either the warranty program or the $2,200 bumper to bumper extended warranty purchased from toyota directly.it makes no sense to me that they can confirm a part is failing, it controls braking, and yet they refuse to replace it.
The brakes failed on this car january 6, 2016, causing me to collide with the rear end of a truck while going about five miles per hour. I was in normal traffic, on a city street,coming to a slow stop, and as i approached the vehicle about 15 feet in front of me, waiting in line for the turn lane, i depressed the brake, which was hard as a rock. However, the car would not stop; consequently, i hit the other vehicle. I was going so slow that the airbags did not deploy. Fortunately no one was hurt, although my vehicle sustained about $1200 in damage. I believe this problem was caused by either the abs brake actuator or the brake pedal stroke sensor. However, the car was seen by a toyota corporation representative who stated in writing there is nothing wrong with the car.this car has already been repaired under a service campaign for the fluid reservoir filter. However, there is also a warranty enhancement program (ze-1), number pol14-04, for the brake actuator assembly and skid control ecu/brake pedal stroke sensor. Our vin is listed in the group of affected vehicles.

Car lost brakes while making a right turn on a city street. All the brake warning lights came (abs, parking brake, brake warning) on along with the vehicle stability control warning. Had to press brakes all the way and even then the braking was very minimal. It was hard to bring the car to a stop. Intermittently the steering wheel also became hard to turn.pulled to side, turned off car.started car up and the same set of warning lights remained ondrove car to toyota dealership which was 1 block away. Braking was hard, but could bring car to a stopdealer said brake computer was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced.said there was no recall / warranty coverage from toyota on this issue.
I drove to work in the morning with no warning lights on the car and it operated fine.after leaving work for the day, i pulled out of the parking lot on to the main road and then the brake light, master failure light, abs light and another light lit up on the dash and i pushed the brake to stop the vehicle to figure out what was going on and the brake did not stop the car, so i push the brake as hard as i could to get it to stop and it stuttered about 10 times before coming to a complete stop.i then called a tow truck to take the car to the dealership because it was not safe to drive without the brakes.the car is still being diagnosed at they dealership.
Vehicle 2 was stopped for on coming traffic to make a left turn.vehicle 1 (the 2011 toyota camry hybrid) driver pressed the brake to the floor to make a sudden stop.the car did not seem to respond to the braking.the tires did not skid, the abs brakes did not engage and the car did not seem to slow down significantly, but seemed to glide into the rear end of vehicle 2.the stopping distance of 3 car lengths at 35 mph should not have resulted in this type of collision - vehicle 1 was totaled.

Hi the problem is with the driver side arm rest which is cracked because of cheap plastic and it flexing i think its dangerous because while you driving for long hours and you need to rest your arm its not relayable your arm dips in the hole instead of comfort i hope it explains rite

I have a toyota camry 2011 hybrid model, i hear a knocking sound coming from the roof. I took it to the dealership and they said it is the problem with the moon roof. It is most persistent when driving on the uneven street pavement. According to the dealer, the headliner needs to be replaced and it will cost about $600. This car was never involved in any accidents and i hardly used the moon roof. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and should be reported.
A popping, knocking, snapping noise is loud, evident, persistent, and discerning. The noise causes concern over the vehicle's structural integrity in an impact. The feeling is that the vehicle does not have enough rigidity to adequately protect passengers in a crash. It is a known issue with toyota. Toyota updated technical service bulletin t-sb-0088-12 on 06/13/2012. It is titled moon roof assembly structure noise. Applicable to 2007 - 2011 camry and camry hybrids. In the introduction toyota states: some 2007 -2011 north american produced camry and camry hv vehicles may exhibit a knocking, popping, ticking, or snapping noise form the moon roof area while driving. The service bulletin describes the dis-assembly and re-assembly of the moon roof structure and headliner. Torquing nuts and bolts to specification for the purpose of reinforcement is described. From the text procedure 2 #5. Loosen the 8 moon roof reinforcement to moon roof housing bolts. #6. Remove the 8 moon roof reinforcement to body structure bolts. #7. Remove the 8 nuts and the moon roof housing sub-assembly. I believe this issue to be a design and/or manufacturing defect affecting the vehicles structural integrity. In fact, the toyota service bulletin describes it as such. Service bulletin t-sb-0088-12 can be downloaded from the internet. My goal is for the nhtsa to issue a recall on 2007 - 2001 toyota camry and camry hv vehicles. Toyota has refused to do this as warranty work on 2 occasions.

Driver side sun visor became loose and did not retain its position. It dropped down and blocked my vision causing me to veer off the road.sun visor thendetached completely from hinge. Cat now has no way to block sun and i have to drive one handed to block the sun light.
On approximately july 19, 2016, i was driving westbound at 60 mph in heavy traffic on i-85 during the early evening in durham, nc.the sun was low in the sky and i pulled the driver side sun visor down to shield my eyes from the sun's glare.the next thing i knew was that the sun visor was in my hand and i was struggling to see the vehicle ahead of me so that i would not hit it.i was totally startled not only by the glare of the sun after the visor failed, but also by the failure of the visor itself.the visor had completely separated from its support arm.i immediately went to the local toyota dealership and ordered a replacement sun visor.while there, a service advisor told me that toyota had a recall and extended warranty on some 2011 camry sun visors.he offered to look up my car to see if it was on the list.it wasn't, but he said that cars on the list had visors that failed in the same way as mine had.even though my car was not on the list, the service advisor recommended that i contact toyota, which i did.the toyota extended warranty is designated "ztt" and affects many camrys, including some manufactured in 2011, but before my car was manufactured.an internet search shows pictures of visors among the extended warranty vehicles that failed in exactly the same manner as mine had.yesterday, i received a letter stating that toyota would not pay for a replacement visor so i 'm writing to inform you of this dangerous situation which could lead to serious injury or death, as nearly happened to me.
