The picture
Is the Lamborghini URUS or Toyota Camry more reliable?
A plain-English read on what the NHTSA record says about living with each vehicle.
Lamborghini URUS
The Lamborghini URUS is a high-performance luxury SUV with very low reported complaint volume: just 4 complaints over 8 years, averaging 0.5 per year. However, it has 14 recalls over that same period, covering areas like hood latches and backup camera systems. Owner complaints cluster around a cold-start no-start condition that can take 7–10 attempts, plus a windshield that cracked without impact. With zero crash-related complaints, injuries, or deaths in the data, the main ownership concern is electronic and visibility-related faults rather than crash risk.
Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is a mainstream sedan with a much higher complaint volume: 2,056 complaints over 10 years, averaging 205.6 per year. It also has 31 recalls and 171 crash-related complaints, 158 injuries, and 1 death reported. Owners frequently describe power train issues such as a stuck ignition key, hesitation and shuddering, and brake problems including an electronic parking brake that won't disengage and a clicking/vibrating brake pedal. The data shows a broad pattern of mechanical and electronic faults across many systems.

- 02ELECTRICAL SYSTEM1
- 03UNKNOWN OR OTHER1
- 04ENGINE1
- 05SERVICE BRAKES1
Owners report that on a cold start, pressing the brake and start button does not turn the vehicle on, requiring 7–10 tries. This can leave you stranded or delayed, and repeated dealer visits may not resolve it.
The same cold-start no-start complaint is also filed under ENGINE, suggesting the issue may involve engine control or starting logic. A buyer should test cold starts and ask for any related service history.
One owner reported a newly replaced windshield cracked unexpectedly without any impact or accident. This matters because a cracked windshield can impair visibility and may indicate a fitment or glass quality concern.
There is one complaint under service brakes, though the sample text does not describe the specific symptom. Buyers should still check for brake noise, pedal feel, and any warning lights during a test drive.
“The windshield on my 2024 Lamborghini Urus was replaced approximately two months ago. There was no accident, stone impact, or other external force. While the vehicle was being used normally, the newly installed windshield cracked unexpectedly. I am concerned…”

Owners report an intermittent defect where the ignition key becomes stuck and cannot be removed even though the dashboard shows the vehicle is in Park; the only way to remove it is to disconnect the battery. Others describe hesitation and shuddering with the check engine light on.
Complaints include a several-second delayed reaction when pressing the accelerator, and hesitation/shuddering with the check engine light illuminated. These can affect drivability and may require repeated dealer diagnostics.
Owners report the electronic parking brake (EPB) would not disengage, requiring a tow and a new switch that did not fix the problem. Another owner describes a clicking and vibrating sound from the brake pedal area, which the manufacturer says comes from the ABS system.
One owner reported multiple systems malfunctioning at once: smart stop, vehicle stability control, electric power steering, blind spot monitoring, secondary collision brake, and lane keeping assistance. This suggests possible electrical or software faults that can affect safety features.
“My 2023 Toyota Camry has developed an intermittent defect where the ignition key becomes stuck and cannot be removed even though the dashboard shows the vehicle is in Park. The only way to remove the key is to disconnect the vehicle's battery, which is not a…”

Buyer analysis
Lamborghini URUS or Toyota Camry: which should you buy?
The Lamborghini URUS has far fewer complaints per year (0.5 vs. 205.6) and no reported crashes, injuries, or deaths in the data, while the Toyota Camry has 171 crash-related complaints, 158 injuries, and 1 death. In practice, the URUS owner is more likely to face isolated electronic or visibility faults, whereas the Camry owner faces a much higher volume and wider variety of mechanical and electrical problems.
Key differences
- Complaint volume: URUS averages 0.5 complaints per year over 8 years; Camry averages 205.6 per year over 10 years.
- Crash and injury reports: URUS has 0 crash-related complaints, 0 injuries, 0 deaths; Camry has 171 crash-related, 158 injuries, 1 death.
- Recalls: URUS has 14 recalls (e.g., hood latch, backup camera); Camry has 31 recalls (e.g., wheels/lugs, seats, air bag occupant sensors).
- Reported failure types: URUS owners describe cold-start no-start and a cracked windshield; Camry owners describe stuck ignition key, hesitation/shuddering, EPB not disengaging, and brake pedal clicking/vibrating.
- Test cold starts multiple times: if the vehicle takes several attempts to start, it matches the reported no-start complaint.
- Inspect the windshield for cracks or prior replacement; ask if it was recently replaced and whether it has cracked without impact.
- Check that the ignition key can be removed easily when the car is in Park; a stuck key is a reported power train defect.
- Test the electronic parking brake and listen for clicking or vibrating from the brake pedal area; these are reported service brake issues.
Before you buy
- Obtain a full vehicle history report and all recall repair records for the specific car.
- Have a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with the model, focusing on the systems listed in complaints.
- During the test drive, perform multiple cold starts and check for hesitation, shuddering, or delayed acceleration.
- Verify that all safety systems (backup camera, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping, stability control) function correctly.
- Ask the seller directly about any history of starting problems, brake noise, or warning lights.
