Toyota Camry Hybrid

"Clogged Converter"

"Water pump died in February 2025. Cost $500 to fix."

"Starting battery went bad, but was only available from Toyota. It was on back order for 4 weeks!"

""As mentioned in previous surveys, we are replacing the 12v battery more often than we feel we should. Perhaps it's because the car, generally, is driven relatively little and sits in the garage much of the time, and perhaps the 12v battery needs to be used more often? Or perhaps it's just something inherent in the hybrid system? If the 12v Toyota battery wasn't so much more expensive than an off-the-shelf 12v battery it wouldn't be as annoying, but when the battery goes, we have to get a new battery from Toyota which is way across town.""

"Multiple battery failures. Dealer installed remanufactured aftermarket battery and 3 of them failed within less than a year."

""Had to wait over 5 months to get replacement, car was returned covered with dirt so that I could not see out of the side and rear windows. Radio still does not work properly. Unable to get navigation system updated.""

"The car is now 13 years old. The brake pedal was stiff and took extra effort to get effective braking. The dealer said the brake calipers were rusted and one was locked and they needed to be replaced. This seems like normal wear and tear."

""Wife's vehicle and she is primary driver and was complaining about brakes not braking. I drove it between MA and MD and back and yeah, you need to jam on the brakes occasionally in the NY/NJ metro area. They seemed fine to me but asked the garage to pay close attention to them. Her remaining pad thickness numbers weren't as much as the RAV but not ready for replacement either. There was/is a problem with her e-brake where the cables can't be adjusted, there is one for each side of the car and the garage recommended getting them replaced as the left one would not release, could not be adjusted and was hanging up causing wear to the left rear brake. Painful repair process needing two days, garage tried to secure a right and left cable so all could be done with one servicevisit but parts sourcing is a problem.Toyota only had a left one and no rights are in North America apparently. So multiple visits for this because after repair and reset of left, it is now noticeable that the right one is also hanging. It was adjusted out of the way and will be okay until replacement as long as she doesn't use the ebrake.""
