Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Our 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid is spurting gasoline out of the area where the gas cap is and the gas is flowing down the side of the car. The problem has something to do with overpressurizing the gas tank when the temperature changes outside from cold to warm. This can happen while the car is in motion and creates an explosion risk. On a cold morning if you let the car sit while the temperature rises you can actually video the gas dripping down from the gas cap. I have video of this happening and many photos of the resulting stains on the side of the car. The car is available for inspection. The dealership claims to not be able to reproduce the issue, but they do not deny the video because it's quite obvious. Toyota claims nobody has reported this issue and they only paid the dealership to fix the paint. There's a reddit article about Toyota Camry Hybrid gas ruptures. Everyone is at risk of this defect due to the explosion risk while driving and a cigarette could ignite the gas on the side of the car. The car has been inspect by Lou Fusz Toyota, but they are remiss to do anything to resolve the problem. I have requested a replacement car since ours only has 20,000 miles and is practically new. There were no warning lamps, messages, our only indication of this problem was a strong odor of gasoline, a visible stain down the side of the car often on days with large temperature changes from cold to hot, and the time when I actually took video of it while it was happening back in March 2023. I'm very concerned about the safety of this car and the dealership seems unable, or unwilling, to address the defect. They replaced the gas cap in March 2023 which resolved the issue temporarily, but it just overpressurizes the new one and now it's happening again on these Spring days where temperatures fluctuate. It's incredibly dangerous to drive a car that is leaking gasoline out the side. Please help us.

I received a notice of a recall a couple months ago with a note that there was no remedy as of yet. I have been waiting to schedule the repair and driving the car less. I received another notice also stating there is no remedy but to contact them if any questions. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me to contact the dealership. The dealer ship, when I stated there was a recall on the passenger airbag and I didnt want to drive an unsafe car around, playing russian roulette on the safety equipment if we did get in an accident. The service advisor responded with asking if I drive around in the passenger seat. He then also told me to contact the manufacturer cause they cant do anything. This just happens to be with my Toyota Camry but unfortunately our other car ALSO has an airbag recall for the Driver side ALSO with NO REMEDY! (its a 2016 Buick Enclave) They wont make an appointment to do anything. Nobody seems to want to help me cause I am just the consumer, which means nothing to companies now. I just want my car safe. How can I get assistance getting this fixed?

I specifically asked Hertz if this recall applied to my vehicle and they stated they would not send out any vehicle with an Open Recall and yet, it turns out this one has the recall on it. They are knowingly rented dangerous vehicles. I have yet to be contacted to return the vehicle to their possession due to the open recall.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Potential Consequences:
When I turn off the LTA switch, it stays on..in other words the steering is affected, and warning beeps sound when I cross into another lane. This is both irritating and dangerous. I brought it in to Orland Toyota for service. The service advisor related that the Technician who worked on it said the computer in the car shows that it’s working properly, and they are going with that. When I protested, he said there is nothing they can do about it..He further said that I would have to turn off the sway warning every time I turn on the car.The service manager told me that cars he drive home every night, sometimes have problems with the LTA. The only entry re this problem on my service receipt is: “Tech: HOUSE TECH (996) Internal”. The problem began right after the vehicle turned 24,000 miles and persists to the present. Thanks for your help..

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
The recent recall on the 2020-2023 Toyota Highlander’s for the front fender/bumper clips is the same issue I am currently having with my 2021 Toyota Camry. There is potential risk of the bumper or fender falling off in traffic causing a traffic hazard. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I took my vehicle in a few months ago for a different issue(major railroad rust) and had the manager look at the clip issue to see if it would be fixed at the same time, he informed me that is a common issue they see however would need to be scheduled at the body shop and I would pay out of pocket for it. No the component has not been inspected by anyone else other than the manager at the Toyota dealership I purchased the car from.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The passenger side headlight is retaining moisture. Upon further inspection the retaining clips have pulled away and cracked. This causes the headlight to flicker from the moisture inside. Brought the vehicle into Clearwater Toyota in Clearwater, FL and warranty repair was refused with the service manager stating that I was in an accident. I wasn't. Was not repaired by dealer. Opened a claim with Insurance company. Body shop states that it appears to be a manufacturer issue as the screw securing the retaining clip is pushing through the plastic causing it to break.
