Bought new from Toyota Dealer. This car replaced my totaled '17 Corolla. I immediately noticed that when you brake - the brakes feel as though they intermittently grab. You can keep the pressure on pedal consistent and it still does it - frustrating. If you like to start braking well in advance of a stop, this car will frustrate you. If you're a last-minute braker - you'll like this car.
The regenerative braking under 5MPH grabs horribly when slowly maneuvering in a parking lot or driveway. Honestly it makes it looks like you've NEVER driven a car before, the car jerks and bounces due to the brakes grabbing so suddenly. It seems to me this would be an EASY FIX for Toyota. If the car is stopped, or moving VERY slowly, DISABLE the regenerative braking, Once it is moving faster than 5mph, re-enable it. I've heard this is a problem for many other people that agree, but yet, I don't see it listed on this site at all.
Update from Mar 19, 2018: This is for the 2018 Camry HYBRID, although I specified that in the original complaint, it shows nowhere.Obviously the Non-Hybrid doesn't have regenerative breaking, so hopefully they will either fix this, or people will find it anyway.
