What owners describe

Driver assistance

Owners describe Camry driver-assistance systems—cruise control, lane assist, automatic braking, and backup cameras—acting unpredictably, from sudden hard braking to steering pulling toward exits. Some report the car veering off the road or losing braking response, while others note screens or cameras going blank without warning.

Warning signs:
Some owners report dash warnings such as brake system, power steering, or low brake fluid messages, along with sudden lane departure or braking with no prior alert.
What shops did:
Dealers have inspected vehicles, offered software updates with no timeline, or quoted costly out-of-warranty repairs for steering and braking components.

“Emergency braking activated at 65 mph while merging onto Interstate. No cars immediately in front of me.”
