2020 Toyota Camry Other Problems

Your 2020 Camry's Data Communication Module (DCM) is failing, which disables all Toyota Remote Connect features like remote start and lock/unlock that you're paying for, and also disables the Safety Connect emergency service feature. Toyota has acknowledged this is a known software defect and published a technical service bulletin for it, but hasn't issued a free recall to cover all affected vehicles. The fix would involve a DCM reset and firmware update performed by a Toyota dealer.

Transmission

2018 - 2024 windshield Quality. I have 4 cracks in my windshield. I have stopped several. Other Toyota Camry owner who also had windshields. Mostly the year 2018-2020.

Door Lock Actuators failed on all doors. At times they don't unlock or don't lock. Toyota informed not covered under Warranty, No Recall or Campaign Notice. For the safety of myself and family I had them replaced at a mechanic. My truck lock is also faulty but not replaced. This started in May 2023 with one lock and again in December of 2024 with the other 3 locks.

While driving on an open road (no overpasses, tall buildings or objects overhead) my moon roof glass exploded. I did not hear any warning signs and did not have vehicles in front of me for it to be a kicked up rock. Glass rained down in the car.

My car has had no incidents. I was told by customer service to file a complaint that there is no remedy for this issue. I gain income from renting this car on Turo. While there is an active recall, I am not able to use this car for income, it is removed from the qualification list for car rentals. I am told by the dealership that there is no remedy expected until 2026 for this vehicle. I cannot lose two years worth of income waiting for this solution. I had my car inspected at the dealership and was told that my sensor was not faulty and do not need a resolution. Is there any way that I can receive documentation from NHTSA showing that my vehicle is safe to rent out and has been inspected and cleared from Toyota? I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Driver side window spontaneously exploded while driving 70 mph on the toll. It’s available for inspection.I almost lost control of the car when it happened. It’s currently at the Toyota dealership in Plano.There was no warning of anything before it exploded.

Trunk lift support does not work well. When you open the trunk, it flung open so fast and it almost hitthe rear glass. Normally, it should open slowly and stop just before it comes close to rear glass. I am afraid that if try to open the trunk and standing close to trunk, it may hit your face and cause severe injury.

sunroof and its now at the shop for repair. My safety was put at risk if because it sound as a gunshot and could have cause me to swerve into another line. If the sunroof had been open the glass could of cut me. unknown if the problem has been reproduced or confirmed. it has been inspected by the shop that's doing the repair. No warnings at all. I was traveling down the road and heard something that sounded like a gun shot. It then sounded like a window was open. Once I got home I inspected my car and pulled back the shade and realize the sunroof was shattered in pieces. If I had my sunroof open the glass could of fell in on me. I called my insurance company and they didn't inspected but ordered parts to fix it. They originally told me it would be a 0 dollar deductible. Now the car is in the shop to be repaired, I'm told they found other things and I would have to pay a $500 deductible now.

Shortly after purchase, the air conditioner smells moldy. The filter has been replaced, yet the unpleasant mold smell is still there. The dealer ignores my complaints. I am allergic to mold, and it has triggered my asthma, and I am now using an inhaler while driving my passenger car, which can cause an accident. Please look into this problem which has been reported for years as I researched this apparent over site. I love the automobile otherwise.

My sunroof exploded with outward shards for no apparent reason while driving so an impact from road debris seem unlikely. Dealer.inspected and says it's not a warranty issue and to file a comprehensive claim with my insurance. I have read that exploding sunroofs are a problem with some Toyotas. But Toyota refuses to address the problem. Thankfully as startling as the incident was it didn't make me have an accident but could see others may not be so lucky

The component or system that failed and malfunctioned, is the air conditioning drain hose that leaked water into the bottom of the inside of the car, causing extensive damage to the rugs, padding, soundproof insulation, and damage to the metal frame of the bottom of the car. Corrosion of the electrical system. The safety was at risk due to the sickening mildew swampy odor coming from inside the car from an accumulation of stagnant water. It caused me headaches, sinus infections, and aggravated my asthma. Yes, Toyota dealership and SERV PRO and independent lab. Yes, the vehicle component has been inspected by the Insurance company and dealership and SERV PRO, and independent Lab. Yes, there were warnings and symptoms of the problem which appeared less than a year after the new 2020 Toyota camry was bought.

While opening the trunk from either the key fob or inside button release on the dash, the trunk lid flies open at high speed and hits the rear window of the car. It appears it's either a shock dampener failure or lack of one. I entered the date it occurred as the date I purchased the car.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I HAD A HORRIBLE SMELL IN THE VEHICLE AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THERE WAS WATER POOLING IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT UNDER THE WEATHERTEC FLOOR MAT. THERE HAD BEEN A FEW DAYS OF RAIN BEFORE THIS.THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER A FEW WEEKS AND BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER THE WATER UNDER THE MATT IN THE BACK SEAT WAS FROZEN. THERE HAD BEEN SNOW IN MY AREA AT THIS TIME ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT AND NOW THEY ARE HOLDING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES BY ITSELF . I APPLY BRAKES AND IT STILL PROPELS ITSELF. I LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I AM LUCKY THAT I DO NOT HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION EVENTUALLY STOPS. THE CAR IS NEW WITH ONLY 900MILES . I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. TOMORROW I AM BRINGING CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ADVICE. THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED TWICE. OF COURSE THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS.
