2008 TOYOTA CAMRY — Complaint #761142
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM filed February 10, 2010
NHTSA complaint #761142 (ODI reference 10308256) concerns a 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY and was filed on February 10, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 22, 2009. The vehicle had 23,994 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Colorado based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as traction control system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same TOYOTA CAMRY cohort independently describe similar traction control system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT POOR PERFORMANCE OF TOYOTA'S HYBRIDS IN SNOW. I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT TOYOTA'S HANDLING OF THE CASE AS NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME SO FAR. IN FACT THEY WERE QUICK ENOUGH TO EVEN SEND ME A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY ON HOW WAS THEIR RESPONSE WITHOUT EVEN CONTACTING ME. TO BE ON THE SAFER
