    Owner Reported Trouble Spots

    The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

    Suspension/Steering

    Shocks or struts, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, alignment, steering linkage (includes rack and pinion), power steering (pumps and hoses, leaks), wheel balance, springs or torsion bars, bushings, electronic or air suspension.

    What Owners Say

    Other steering/suspension problem

    "It's the same U-bolt problem I discussed on the previous survey page."

    Anonymous, MN (2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)
    Power steering

    "Power steering in this vehicle is electric motor assisted. The power steering started making noise and eventually locked up on the car. Replacement was $2300.00, took 1 month due to lack of parts. Toyota dealership in Keene, NH dragged their feet on a loaner car, which we ended up having for just a weekend. The entire steering column had to be replaced due to the design. This is a significant safety hazard as my wife was driving when it failed and had children in the vehicle. Luckily, it happened 2 miles from the dealership and she was able to get it there safely."

    Anonymous A., NH (2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)
    Steering linkage (includes rack and pinion)

    ". Here's my review: During Fall 2023 the steering became stiffer. I described the problem to an auto technician over the phone and he said the car was safe to drive as long as the steering didn't get significantly stiffer but that the problem should be repaired as soon as possible. This stiffness slowly got worse until I could see an auto technician. The problem was constant. The problem was resolved a couple of weeks later when the auto technician replaced what he said was the U-bolt (I think it was 'U-bolt'. It might have been U-'something else'. I don't remember exactly.) in the steering mechanism. The repair cost $1200. I don't understand why I'm receiving the response message "One or more questions require further input." when I hit the "Next" button on the lower right of the screen. It seems that there is a software glitch on this page of the survey. In addition, why does this page keep saying I have "3000 characters left" when I've typed in a long paragraph of text?"

    Reliability indicates how models have performed in the past, providing the basis for predicting how the vehicles will hold up in the year ahead. These charts provide the most comprehensive reliability information available to consumers. Based on information received from our latest subscriber survey for over 300,000 vehicles, our reliability history charts give you a rundown on how 2000 through 2024 vehicles are holding up in 20 potential trouble spots, ranging from the engine, transmission, electric motor, EV charging, and brakes to power equipment and the electrical accessories. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
