How this compares
155 complaints is 1.8 times fewer than the median 2021 model on this site and about the median for a 2021 sedan. Among the 11 Camry model years here it ranks 7th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Complaints filed by year
48 complaints came in 2024, 3.7 times the year before. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
