The 2024 Toyota Camry continues the model’s reputation as one of the most reliable sedans on the road. But even the most trusted vehicles aren’t immune to defects. Every model year includes a small number of cars that fall short because of manufacturing issues, faulty parts, or malfunctioning safety systems. When that happens, it’s more than just an inconvenience. It can put drivers and passengers at risk.
At Lemberg Law, we monitor consumer complaints and safety data to help people understand when a vehicle’s problems may go beyond the occasional glitch and when they may qualify for protection under state or federal lemon laws.
If you own a 2024 Toyota Camry and are noticing repeated issues, here’s what you should know.
Multiple Camry owners have reported sudden tire blowouts, often while driving at highway speeds. Others describe premature wear or tread separation of factory-installed tires—usually Bridgestone or Firestone brands.
What drivers are reporting:
“The tread on the rear passenger-side tire separated completely. I lost control and had to pull over suddenly. This could have caused a crash.”
“Within 1,000 miles of buying the car, I had a blowout. The dealer blamed the road, but this was clearly a defective tire.”
“Uneven wear on both rear tires. Dealer says it’s not covered. These tires are dangerous.”
Don’t be stuck with a lemon. You have legal rights to cash, return or buyback.
The law makes Toyota pay legal fees.

Sudden Acceleration and Braking Issues
While not as widespread as tire problems, several drivers report troubling experiences involving unintended acceleration, poor brake response, or unexpected lurching while stopped.
Examples include:
A driver said their Camry lurched forward two feet at a red light, even though their foot was firmly on the brake.
Another complaint describes anti-lock brakes failing during wet weather, leading to an intersection scare.
“The brake pedal is soft and doesn’t respond right away,” one owner wrote. “It feels unpredictable, and that’s not safe.”
These types of concerns may involve the Camry’s electronic brake systems or integration with its safety tech, such as adaptive cruise or forward collision warning.
Electrical Malfunctions and Blank Dashboards
Toyota’s infotainment and safety technology have drawn complaints from several Camry owners. Issues include blank instrument panels, glitchy infotainment systems, and malfunctioning safety sensors.
Highlights from recent reports:
“The entire dashboard display went dark while I was driving at night. No speedometer, no lights, nothing.”
“Lane assist and forward collision sensors keep triggering error messages.”
“Climate control and audio cut out and only came back after restarting the car. Dealer couldn’t replicate the issue.”
Visibility Issues in Rainy Conditions
At least one complaint points to design flaws in the wiper system or windshield airflow, leading to limited visibility during rain.
An owner described:
“Water pools on the edges of the windshield, and the wipers don’t clear it. In heavy rain, I couldn’t see well enough to change lanes safely.”
How Can You Fight
If your Toyota Camry is experiencing repeated issues with safety, performance, or basic function, it may qualify as a lemon under state or federal law. These problems are not your fault, and you don’t have to keep dealing with them on your own.
