How reliable is the Toyota Camry Hybrid? What NHTSA's records show
We don't give the Camry Hybrid a reliability score. NHTSA publishes complaint counts but no sales figures, so complaints can't be turned into a rate or compared between models. Here is what's on file for model years 2010 on.

Complaints rise with how many were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a newer or rarer year will show fewer. Compare years of the Camry Hybrid with each other.

Common questions
Is the Toyota Camry Hybrid reliable?
We don't score reliability: NHTSA publishes complaint counts but no sales figures, so complaints can't be turned into a rate or compared between models.

The model years with the most complaints are 2025 (167), 2026 (138), 2012 (55). Whether a known problem was fixed on one car is what its service records show.

Which Camry Hybrid model years have the most complaints?
2025 (167), 2026 (138), 2012 (55). Complaint counts rise with how many were sold and how long they've been on the road, so compare years of the Camry Hybrid with each other rather than with other models.
