“Iâm still driving a time bomb waiting for vehicle fire or accident. Was told first quarter of the year. Now, still no remedy. I purchase car brand new and weeks later received notice. Then I was told Toyota was informed not to sell and I just bought mine. All Iâm told is to wait. If engine line comes on pull over and tow. Thatâs great while Iâm driving my family.”

At a glance
- Next to other model years
- The 2026 is too new for a fair per-year comparison, and no model year of the Camry Hybrid just before it has enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- One problem takes up much of the file: hybrid system, named in 56 of the 133 complaints (42%). Hybrid system tends to show up early. Of the 8 owners who gave a mileage for it, half were under about 5,000 miles and a quarter under about 2,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 12 of the 133 complaints (9%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 12 reports mention a crash and 7 people were hurt.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Hybrid system, the one problem here with enough reports to check, has a recall on the same system (25V-869). A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Every complaint so far came in during 2025. So far in 2026, 132 more have come in.
