Hoping the rack is warranty… I’m surprised they don’t have it in parts stock!! it is likely an isolated issue and isn’t a common problem in them or Toyota would be stiocking or recalling them. . I hope of yours is off the road you have a loaner in the meantime… Toyota parts can do an urgent air freight v.o.r order( vehicle off road) if you feel it’s taking too long…. keep making appointments with the service manager as to its progress… in person.. weekly if you can… I had major issues with a new Celica years ago… it got damaged while in for first service… it snowballed…. And that’s the approach I took to get it sorted( after firstly sending back the 84 corona loan car!!) fingers crossed for you,,, hammer them for results and progress!

It’s likely the switch at the top of the pedal arm that operated the brake lamps clicking in ( and sometimes out) when you brake.. take a look under the dash, and follow the arm up,, should be a similar to a micro switch there behind the arm( towards the front) a quick squirt of some silicone lubricant( WD 40 smells awful) onto it should fix it… press the brake with your hand while down ther? You’ll soon see where.. as it sounds like it’s an interior noise not an engine bay or underbody one. hope this helps

I’ve had a few Camrys over the years, from a 1993 to a 2002, and my sister a few, 2013 sportive, and 2019, that has frankly been hammered, caned, crashed, with her kids learning mishaps, ( all have been four cylinders I must add) and every one of them( the sportivo started life driving from Werribee to Frankston and back weekdays!! And just wore out after a half million or so)they have all been absolute troopers, and few cars I know of would stand up to it…she now has a Mazda as the last camry met it’s fate at an intersection when her youngest on his Ps poked its nose out a bit too far and had its front hardware torn off .. and she wanted a CAR, and the wait for a Camry was too long. .. only thing that older ones are prone to is a failure in the headlamp wiring and switch cluster that means an extensive wiring replacement… but that only comes when it’s worth peanuts and disposable… a good idea particularly if you land a hybrid… is ask a cabbie what they are like…. They sit in it eight hours a day…. Yes, granted, a tad boring to drive, but dependable( and I think Toyota took out some boring with the newer ones too finally )BTW I still have my 81 corolla XX coupe I bought when I was 17… still going, and it’s now very rare and valued at six times it’s new price!! it may have been stored away in a shed for a long time but it’s even outlasted four Camrys that were very well worn!! im not a fan of electric or hybrid cars …. Yet…. But I’d likely get into a hybrid camry without much worry … if you get the chance.. earlier cars like your wanting came in top equipment levels only and are a fair bit nicer… I did have one for. A short while as a fleet driver… unnervingly quiet… lol.. I hope this helps…
