Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Car just recently reached 60k miles. For the past 2 weeks or so, the windshield wipers will activate without user input. One time it happened while accelerating from a stopped state, another time when activating car headlights. Last time they activated they did so at the max setting available and did not stop until I had to "override" by activating the on-demand wipers. Worried it might damage vehicle or cause an accident.

Crash reported

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while attempting to exit the driveway at an undisclosed speed, the engine unexpectedly revved, and the vehicle accelerated forward, striking a trash bin. The contact stated that depressing the brake pedal caused the engine to rev higher. Upon shifting into Reverse (R), the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated at a high rate of speed, striking and knocking down three trees on the property. Depressing the brake pedal again while in reverse(R) similarly caused the engine to rev higher. The collisions resulted in heavy denting on all sides of the vehicle and significant undercarriage damage. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The failure mileage was 12,000.

The lock/unlocking of the car doors no longer functions. When pressing unlock on the key or door, the doors do not unlock. When pressing lock on the key or door, the doors do not lock. The only way into the vehicle is using the physical key to unlock the door. The bigger issue is when driving, the door is not locked when the car is in motion, and the door can be opened if a child or person slightly pulls the handle. The components have not been inspected and there have been no warning lights.

My 2023 Toyota Camry has developed an intermittent defect where the ignition key becomes stuck and cannot be removed even though the dashboard shows the vehicle is in Park. The only way to remove the key is to disconnect the vehicle's battery, which is not a normal or safe operating procedure. The problem occurs intermittently and has happened multiple times. I believe there may be a defect involving the ignition key release system, shift interlock, park position switch, or a related electrical component. This condition could leave drivers stranded or unable to secure their vehicle and creates a potential safety concern. I am submitting this complaint so the issue can be investigated and to determine whether other 2023 Toyota Camry owners are experiencing the same problem.
