| Mar 2021 | ENGINE | I LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2020 FOR 24 MONTHS, THE BATTERY IS NOT DEPENDABLE; FREQUENTLY, AT RANDOM TIMES, THE CAR WON'T START.. I HAVE HAD TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE 6 TIMES. TOYOTA EXPLAINED THAT THE BATTERY HAS A DEFECT CALLED PARASITIC DRAIN BECAUSE OF OVERLOAD FROM 40 COMPUTERS AND ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DRIVE AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR TWICE A WEEK. I AM 88 YEARS OLD WITH MACULA DEGENERATION AND CONSIDER THIS AN UNSAFE REQUIREMENT. TOYOTA SUGGESTED BUYING A NEW BATTERY BUT IF, AS STATED BY THE MECHANIC, THE BATTERY IS GETTING CONTINUOUSLY DRAINED BY OVERLOAD, THAT MAKES NO SENSE, I ASKED IF THEY COULD BLOCK OFF SOME OF THE DRAINAGE (LIKE BLUETOOTH) THEY SAID NOT THIS MODEL.I COMPLAINED THAT I WASN'T INFORMED OF THIS DEFECT BEFORE BUYING AND THEY EXPLAINED IT WAS IN THE MANUEL WHICH I DIDN'T RECEIVE UNTIL I SIGNED THE AGREEMENT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 878 |

UPON ENTERING AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE MID WAS FLICKERING WITH ERROR MESSAGES SUCH AS (A) KEY FOB NOT DETECTED (B) EPB DISENGAGED. 3. THE BATTERY SEEMED DEAD, NONE OF THE ELECTRICALS AND ELECTRONIC RESPONDED. I UNDERSTOOD THE BATTERY WAS DEAD (STRANGE FOR A NEW CAR BOUGHT 5 MONTHS AGO). 4. I JUMP STARTED SUCCESSFULLY USING MY OLDER CAR WHICH DOESN'T RUN TOO OFTEN, YET COLD STARTS PRETTY GOOD. NO ACCESSORIES/LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON DURING THE TWO DAYS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,900 |
| Feb 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 6,800 |

| Feb 2021 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | TOYOTA ADVERTISES AND REPRESENTS THAT THE 2020 CAMRY SE FUEL TANK CAPACITY IS 16 GALLONS, AND BASED ON ITS 28CITY/39HWY MPG RATING, THE CAMRY'S RANGE SHOULD BE 448/624 MILES. HOWEVER, MY CAR ON A FULL TANK REPORTS 385 MILES TO EMPTY. TOYOTA RAN TESTS AND STATED I GET 30MPG. IF THIS IS TRUE MY GAS TANK IS ONLY SUPPORTING ABOUT 13 GALLONS OF GAS. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IDENTIFIED THIS AS AN ISSUE IN THEIR 2019/2020 HYBRID MODELS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,322 |
| Feb 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I PURCHASE A BRAND NEW 2020 TOYOTA CAMRY MARCH 2020. ON JUNE 15, 2020 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM PARKING BRAKE DISABLED. MY CAR REMAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4 DAYS. ON JUNE 19 I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN STATED THE BATTERY WAS GOOD AFTER PERFORMING A BATTERY TEST USING TOYOTA DCA8000 TEST. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED AN UPDATE TELEMATICS MODULE I9I-13 DCM TO LATEST FIRMWARE TO SOFTWARE VERSION HIGH AT LG-N010FFB AND SOFTWARE VERSION LOW AT CBC-98 OR CBC-34 AS APPLICABLE DEALER TECHSTREAM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. OK THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE FIX TO MY PROBLEM. ON AUG 19 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AFTER A SERIES OF TEST THEY STATED IT WAS THE BATTERY, SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW BATTERY. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD BE THE BATTERY WHEN THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. . ON JAN 25, 2021 MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY CAR WOULD START. THE RADIO CAME ON , THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. TECHNICIAN ADVISE THE NEXT DAY HAD PERFORM A DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR DRAINING BATTERIES TO THE 2020 CAMRY. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT PERFORM TO THE STANDARDS I EXPECTED SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE MARCH 2020. STATE OF GEORGIA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SUBMIT A LEMON LAW CLAIM BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS NOT OUT OF COMMISSION FOR 30 DAYS TOTAL. I AM A VERY UPSET CUSTOMER AND WILL CONTINUE TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND POSSIBLY SEEK ME A A CONSUMER ATTORNEY. AS MUCH AS I AM PAYING FOR MY VEHICLE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT AROUND FOR TOYOTA TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |

I ATTRIBUTED THE ISSUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP BEFORE DRIVING. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL.

I CALLED THE BROWN'S TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED THERE. THEY WERE CLOSING AT 4P AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT THE CAR UNTIL MONDAY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A LOANER CAR UPFRONT AND BE REIMBURSED IF IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO START. SO RIDICULOUS.

| Nov 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | UNEXPECTEDLY, MY CAR'S 12V BATTERY DISCHARGED COMPLETELY UNDER CONDITIONS OF REGULAR USE AND MODERATE TEMPERATURES, WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. CAR IS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 6327 MILES. IT WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP, WHICH RE-CHARGED THE BATTERY AND INSTALLED DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE T-SB-0095-20. THE REPAIR REPRESENTATIVE REFERRED TO POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH A RECENT AUTO SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT MAY HAVE WORN DOWN BATTERY WITH NUMEROUS INCOMPLETE (UNINITIATED) IGNITION STARTS. THIS SOFTWARE FIX WAS APPLIED FOR THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE, BUT IS NOT BEING GENERALLY APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLES. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANYTHING I DID, AND INDICATED I MAY WANT TO WATCH FOR TOYOTA CONSUMER NOTICES FOR FURTHER REPAIR. THE TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, DCM RESET AND FIRMWARE UPDATE T-SB-0095-20 (DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, ACCESSIBLE ONLINE), INDICATES SOME 2020-2021 MODELS MAY EXHIBIT "DEPLETED 12V VEHICLE BATTERY WHEN IN IG-OFF". THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NOT BEING APPLIED TO ALL VEHICLES, AND THERE WAS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN.

| Oct 2020 | AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS | OUR VEHICLE WAS STRUCK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE - REAR AT AN ESTIMATED 60MPH SPEED DIFFERENCE. (IT IS THOUGHT WE WERE SLOWED TO APPROX 25MPH, OTHER CAR WAS PROBABLY 80MPH OR MORE). THIS HAPPENED ON I95 IN LUMBERTON NC. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN LEFT LANE, WE WERE IN RIGHT LANE. THE OTHER VEHICLE SWERVED INTO OUR LANE HITTING US "QUARTERING" FROM LEFT REAR. FORCE WAS HARD ENOUGH TO DEFORM RIGHT SIDE OF CAR WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NOTHING. AS THE DRIVER, I STRUCK THE INTERIOR WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE A "SEVERE" CONCUSSION. NO SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THE SEAT BELTS TENSIONED TO RESTRAIN ME IN THE SEAT. MY LEFT SHOULDER, ARM, AND ELBOW WERE ALSO INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUFFERED INJURIES TO HER LEFT ARM, AND RECOILED STRIKING THE INSIDE OF THE RIGHT INTERIOR. THIS CAUSED HEAD TRAUMA AS WELL. WE DON'T BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT TENSIONED. PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT, RIGHT SIDE ALSO SUFFERED INJURY. NOT AS SEVERE AS FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS. HE WAS THROW AROUND IN THE VEHICLE, IT IS UNKNOWN IF HIS BELTS TENSIONED. ALL 3 HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR INJURIES SUFFERED. THERE IS A WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH STATING, "SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNTION VISIT YOUR DEALER" I BELIEVE HAD SEATBELTS TENSIONED, SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED, MY INJURIES WOULD BE MUCH LESS. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED 10/11/2020, WEATHER WAS OVERCAST BUT DRY. CRASH FORCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE BODY WORK DEFORMATION ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE, WHICH CAME IN CONTACT WITH NO OBJECTS. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 3 Towed Medical attention | 3,589 |
