Other electrical problem on the 2010 Toyota Camry
2 crashes 2 of the 17 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other electrical problem gets reported
Owners of the 2010 Toyota Camry report other electrical problem at a median of 20,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 10,000 miles and a quarter after 45,000 miles, from 13 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 85,000 miles. It is the 11th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 1,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 80,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 77,285 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
69% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,008 miles | 7,900 miles | 20,000 miles | 45,400 miles | 78,293 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 2 a crash is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $250–$2,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 29 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2021, at a median of 35 miles, and latest on the 2025 at 190,000 miles.
By volume the 2007 carries the most reports, with 118; the 2010 has 17. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
I own a 2010 toyota camry. I was told by one dealership that my car is not affected. I was told by another dealership that my car is included in the accelerator recall. First, when I put the keys in my car and start it, it will start to accelerate to 2000 rpms for 30 secs to a minute before going below 1000rpms. Also, when I drive around town, the car will remain accelerated even after I take my foot off of the gas pedal or even after I take my foot off the brake. I do not know what to do, and if my car is not part of a recall, this could be more of a systematic problem (either with the electric chip or the accelerator pedal I have) than what everyone thinks now. I have brought my car to the dealer 2-3 times (prior to the recall) and they said it was "normal" for all camrys. But this is obviously not normal. *cn
Toyota camry xle 2010 with 11500 miles is accelerating on its own and it is taking noticeable longer to slow down. Check engine light is on and (esc) light is on. However this is not the first time this has happened. The car was taken to the dealer. The first time they said there was debris in the engine however it took them over 30 days to fix it and they did not seem confident they fixed the problem. It is not a consistent problem as it happens unexpectedly. This is not caused by a driver mistake as it can be clearly seen when foot is off the brake and car is in drive that the RPM is higher. Sometimes the opposite happens and the car acts as if it is going to stall and shakes very hard. The approx incident date is the last time it was noticed and the car is no longer being driven. * I wonder if there is a possibility that my cell phone that causes interference with my tv and radio causes an interference with the etc system? *tr
On february 2, 2010 I was entering my garage and slowly drove in, I then placed my foot on the brake to stop, I then opened the drivers side door slightly as I was about to place the vehicle in park a short revving of the engine began, right before I placed the shifter into park the vehicle jumped into reverse and began to accelerate backwards,causing damage to the drivers side door which flew open due to the reverse acceleration, the wall in my garage ,the garage railing , the side panel of the garage were all damaged as a result. I then slammed on the brakes and the parking brakes, placed the shifter in neutral and then turned off the engine, I then called the toyota corporation and explained the event to them. Their process was slow and not considerate to my needs as a consumer. After several days and numerous phone calls toyota finally responded and I was told that I was going to have to wait another 4 days for someone else from their regional department to get in touch with me. I finally decided to let my insurance company handle the vehicles damage because I only have one car. After a week in the shop I then took the vehicle…

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 17 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
