The vehicle is producing an extremely loud squealing/whining noise while driving and turning. The sound occurs at both low and high speeds. It is not subtle — it is loud enough to be heard across a large parking lot. For example, if the vehicle is at the back of a parking lot, someone standing at the front can clearly hear it. It can also be heard as I enter my neighborhood, before I am even close to my home, and my neighbors have noticed it as well. The sound resembles something rubbing or grinding against something else. It does not sound normal or consistent with typical hybrid system operation. The dealership has stated that this is simply the hybrid system; however, I also own a 2025 Camry Hybrid, and it does not make this noise. Additionally, the loaner Camry I was provided does not produce this sound either. This strongly suggests that the noise is not a normal characteristic of the vehicle. I am very concerned that there may be a mechanical issue that has not been properly diagnosed. At this point, I have been unable to receive meaningful assistance or resolution from the dealership. I am requesting a thorough inspection and clear explanation of the cause of this noise, as well as appropriate corrective action. Please advise on the next steps to resolve this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this issue. The system will not allow me to add a file attachment. Please reach out for copies and I will be happy to provide them.

The rear glass of the sunroof exploded while driving at highway speeds. The safety risk involved is that is sounded like a gunshot went off and the entire car got extremely loud, taking my attention off of the road, thank goodness the sunshade was closed and didn't shower me with glass. YES, the problem has been confirmed by multiple other owners online, and Toyota denies taking responsibility for its manufacturing defect putting all drivers at risk. It is being evaluated at by insurance. No warning lamps messages or any warning sign whatsoever before the rear section of the sunroof exploded.
