SERVICE BRAKES
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Camry report issues with the service brakes, including random activation of the parking brake and unusual noises such as clicking or vibrating from the brake pedal area, attributed by the manufacturer to the ABS system. Complaints frequently mention excessive vibration when braking, with one owner citing warped front rotors due to presumed overheating, affecting vehicles as early as 20,000 miles. A significant safety implication is noted in a report of a crash where the ABS/brake system allegedly failed, preventing the vehicle from stopping in time despite adequate distance and speed. These reports suggest potential concerns for used car buyers, particularly regarding brake system reliability and performance in the Camry.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Camry report issues with the electrical system, particularly involving the infotainment screen and push-button start functionality. Complaints frequently mention that the infotainment screen can randomly turn off and remain black for extended periods, sometimes up to 13 minutes, which affects GPS display. Additionally, some owners describe problems with the Push to START button, where the vehicle enters accessory mode instead of shutting off, causing the vehicle to roll and display a "Shift to Park" message. These issues are reported at mileages around 30,000 to 40,000. Safety implications include potential navigation disruptions and unintended vehicle movement, which could be concerning for used car buyers.

AIR BAGS
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Camry report issues related to air bag deployment during crashes, with three incidents involving crashes and injuries. Complaints frequently mention air bags failing to deploy in a significant frontal impact or deploying unexpectedly, leading to further accidents. Symptoms described include air bags not deploying in a total loss crash, unexpected deployment while driving, and obstructed exits due to deployed air bags. Two reports involve vehicles with mileage around 23,000 miles, while another does not specify mileage. Safety implications are significant, as all complaints involve crashes and injuries, with one report noting the air bags' deployment causing a secondary crash. This information is crucial for potential buyers to consider when evaluating the safety and reliability of this vehicle model.

ENGINE
Owners report issues with the 2023 Toyota Camry's engine, primarily related to fuel injector malfunctions. Complaints frequently mention the engine misfiring and running poorly, often accompanied by multiple warning lights and disabled safety systems. These issues typically occur around 11,000 miles, with one owner experiencing problems just outside the base warranty. Another owner describes a delayed throttle response when pressing the accelerator, a problem that has occurred multiple times without triggering any dashboard warnings. Safety implications are noted, as one owner nearly experienced an accident due to the delayed acceleration.
Owner complaints3
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners report issues with unintended acceleration in the 2023 Toyota Camry, often occurring during low-speed maneuvers such as parking. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle suddenly accelerating without warning, despite attempts to brake. One incident involved a crash where the vehicle accelerated forward, causing significant damage, and then reversed unexpectedly. Another owner describes the brake pedal extending to the floor while the engine revved, briefly losing control before normal operation resumed. These issues are reported at low mileages, around 6,000 miles, and present significant safety implications, including potential for crashes and loss of vehicle control.
Severity signals: 1 crash, 0 fire, 0 injury reports

TIRES
Owners report issues with the tires on the 2023 Toyota Camry, particularly with the 235/45R18 94V size. Complaints frequently mention excessive road noise and swerving during turns starting around 25,000 miles. Additionally, some owners describe significant tire failures, such as a rear tire splitting between the sidewall and treads at approximately 16,000 miles, with no prior warning from the tire pressure monitoring system. Other reports include persistent air leaks around the rim, leading to repeated TPMS warnings and tire replacements within a few months of purchase. These issues may impact vehicle handling and safety, especially if tire failures occur at higher speeds.
Owner complaints2
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Camry report issues with the windshield and wiper system that affect visibility. A common complaint is the presence of a haze on the windshield that reduces visibility during rain, and some owners note small cracks appearing without any known impact. Another frequent issue is the inadequate speed of the windshield wipers in heavy rain, with owners describing the highest setting as insufficient for maintaining clear visibility, especially in unpredictable weather conditions like those in Florida. These problems are reported within a few months of ownership, and owners express concerns about safety due to reduced road visibility in rainy conditions.
Owner complaints2
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Owners of the 2023 Toyota Camry report issues with the forward collision avoidance system, particularly related to temperature and battery conditions. One complaint describes a dashboard warning indicating the front camera is out of temperature range, causing the crash warning light to activate until the vehicle has been driven for approximately 30 minutes. Another owner reports that the vehicle's ADAS system, including pre-collision and adaptive cruise control, malfunctions due to low battery amperage, leading to a disabling of factory safety settings. These issues suggest potential safety implications, as the systems involved are critical for collision avoidance, though no crashes or loss of control are reported.
