2022 Toyota Camry

I am requesting that Toyota escalate a safety-related concern involving my 2022 Camry SE. Every time I start my vehicle, I receive the audible Communication Module Failure warning instructing me to contact my dealer. Both SOS indicator lights remain completely off. My dealership is refusing to investigate the issue unless I pay an out-of-pocket diagnostic fee. I have located Toyota Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0089-21 Rev. 2, which addresses Data Communication Module issues affecting certain 2020–2022 Camry vehicles. Given that this involves the emergency communication and Safety Connect system, I am requesting that Toyota review my vehicle’s VIN for applicable campaigns, technical service bulletins, and warranty or goodwill coverage. I do not believe I should have to pay simply to have Toyota investigate a potentially defective emergency communication system. If Toyota will not cover the diagnostic, I would like that decision documented and escalated to a regional customer relations representative.

The contact owned a 2022 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, another vehicle pulled out in front of the vehicle, and the contact crashed into the driver’s side rear of the other vehicle, however, no air bags deployed. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The failure mileage was 112,297.

The moonroof shattered as I was driving on a freeway. The shattering sounded like an explosion or gunshot sound that startled me resulting in some swerving in lanes. Traffic was light and I did not hit anything and was able to exit the freeway and pull into a gas station to examine what had happened. I noticed some glass falling from my car roof and saw that the moonroof was shattered.

In late September 2026, at approximately 80,500 miles, my 2022 Toyota Camry SE (2.5L 4-cylinder, 8-speed automatic transmission) began making a whine under acceleration. The whine starts around 15 mph and fades around 65–70 mph, gets louder the harder I accelerate, and stops when I coast or shift to neutral. When I lift off the accelerator, it continues for about one second with a pulsing sound. Steering and a tire rotation do not change it. On October 13, 2026, at 82,206 miles, a Toyota dealer test drove the vehicle and confirmed a whining noise from the transmission on acceleration. The dealer noted “possible internal wear from bearing,” found no trouble codes, and recommended replacing the transmission assembly at a cost of $8,015.09. At my request, the dealer also performed a transmission drain and refill with genuine Toyota WS fluid the same day, even though Toyota’s maintenance schedule does not require transmission fluid replacement under normal driving conditions. The whine was unchanged afterward. No warning lights or messages have appeared, and the transmission has not slipped. However, owners of the same and similar Toyota models with this 8-speed transmission have reported sudden loss of power while driving after similar symptoms. I am concerned that the transmission could fail without warning in traffic or on the freeway, putting me and others at risk. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. I have opened a case with Toyota. The vehicle and transmission are available for inspection upon request.

Was driving at night going around a curve when the car jerked left sending vehicle into a spin. Hit bridge guard rail and car is a total loss. Toyota has a known issue with this LDA system in this condition. This is very dangerous system that Toyota needs to improve function.
