NHTSA has received 64 owner complaints about the 2022 Toyota Camry, or 13.4 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical (complaint index 0.33, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 92 model-year 2022 vehicles we track, it ranks #32 of 92 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest). Against other Toyota models its rate is 61% lower; against other Midsize sedans it is 65% lower.
Counts are normalized by time on the road, not by sales volume: a popular model generates more reports than a rare one, and complaints are not verified individually. How we count
