“Car is not garaged and is exposed to all weather conditions. Came is 15 years old I have had to use duct tape to keep parts covered and close to each other around the front bumpers”

“paint peeling on trunk cover”

“I had car washed & detailed at an off-airport parking service while I was out of town. I've not had problem with washing but the detailing removed big zones of paint. Fault may have been with the detailing rather than the paint itself, but I don't”

“Clear coat came off causing rust around windshield on roof”

“rusting at rear window joints”

“I live in Michigan, salt equal rust, I wash once a week even in winter but car is 15 years old”

“Just starting to rust in the last year,pretty normal for age and milage I think”

“bottom of passenger door on driver's side rusts from winter salt biuldup”

“wrist pin broken Engine needs to be replaced :(”

“Not major, but enough to be noticeable on garage floor”

“Leaks oil under the front of the car”

“the Toyota is actually a 1995 but it wasn't possible to indicate that on the survey. The oil leak is too bad for a 20 year old car that is still running”

“It started a few months ago. It is a slow leak”

“had reported minor leaks report during 2 service visits. Decide to get them fixed spring 2016. It took the dealer 3 attempt to fix, making them much worse on the first 2 attempts and the then found another leak which they claimed was very visible but had not been seen before.

“Have to put oil in the car every so often”

“Unknown reason that the tail light comes on”

“The middle brake light is out with a warring light on the dash telling me it's out. It would cost allot to fix light because the whole back seat has to be removed to get to the light. So I have a warring light on my dash all the time because the brak”

“The reverse lights (and rear license plate lights) don't work. It's not the bulbs, so must be something in the wiring. I understand there isn't a fuse associated with the lights”

“Traced the rear tail/brake lights not working caused by frayed wiring along the left trunk hinge. 16 years of opening and closing the trunk had caused the wiring to crack open”

“~ 2 yrs ago the backup (reverse) lights were staying on all the time, even while the car was moving forward. I was told that this symptom was related to corroded wiring,was fixed by new wiring to that light system, but that did not fix the indicator light that stays on. Needs all the rear wiring replaced”

“The check oil warning light was always on and it is very expensive to repair. Currently, it is disconnected until I can afford to have it repaired and that is of concern. Also, and more importantly, my check engine light keeps coming on and nobody se”

“check engine light will not go out. Mechanic has tested each component part that is monitored by this and all check ok. Our guess is the system running the check engine light is not working correctly”

“lights warning permanently on engine warning frequently on both are false positives - nothing wrong but sensors”

“The warning is on, but will not turn off. The technicians couldn't find a problem with the error code so it is a false positive that won't go away”

“check engine light stays on local repair shop unable to turn it off after engine checks out”

“Small head/tail light indicator on dash that should tell me when a light bulb is burnt out. But it stays on even when no bulbs are out. I'm told it is probably corrosion in the wiring of the back end lighting system. Haven't replaced it yet, I just check the old fashioned way by looking if lights are on”

“The cruise control just stopped working one day and i own a 1999 Camry le it's not on the selection. So every thing i metioned is for that year (1999) Toyota Camry LE 4 cylinder automatic 4 door sedan”

“The front underside of the car rattles when the car is moving”

“Increased wind noise when driving. Why now???”

“seized up, started smoking”

“The rear calipers don't work correctly”

“The car is actually a 1999 model. This selection was not available for selection. Vibration upon breaking lead to finding the calipers were an issue. At 240000 miles this is probably to be expected”

“Driver side front caliper no longer functioning. Will replace both. Rotors on right side now wearing very fast. Will have to replace both calipers, rotors, pads at the same time. Can't complain too much. Over 151K on the original rotors”

“Calipers seized which locked brakes, wore out rotors and pads”

“Vehicle 17 years old, recently had right rear caliper replaced”

“Replaced Brake pads”

“Rear brake lines needed replaced and pads”

“Brake pads where changed and new rotors installed”

“Disc brakes not old enough to expect need for new.Toyota said need new ones.Went for 2nd opinion.Was told they wore out due to the rear ones were so far out of adjustment (had been regularly checked at Toyota).Cost $450.Not going back to that dealer”

“AC doesn't work”

“A/C leak”

“toyotas seem to experience several systemic (ie, I see them all the time; I'm very observant!) problems: drivers-side brake-light failure(s). mine.. are fine, But the (multiple) fan-speed resistor failed and needed replacement. could have been worse”

“Blower only works on highest setting”

“The fan only works in the top two positions (high, medium high)”

“no intermediate fan settings work, just off and high”

“Condenser has a leak and because of that the A/C unit doesn't generate any cold air”

“I recently needed to add freon to my air conditioning unit”

“A /C repair shop put 2 cans in the system that lasted roughly 2 weeks. Scheduled to install new system”

“when I took it to dealership they indicated the wrong plugs were installed previously”

“Daughter drives this toyota at Missouri university approx 120 miles away from me. Since I was not there I told her to take it to the dealer. One spark plug wire was bad.

“top of radiator tank came apart”

“Extreme overheating, which I drove on because I had to get to a safe place. Ended up replacing entire cooling system. Car still slightly overheats when it idles in traffic, unless I have the air conditioning fan on. Can't figure it out. Mechanic useless. My brother had to figure it out. Compression leak down test showed that engine cylinders were ok, but not great. Car is getting me to work and back without trouble now, but I have to worry about hot days in traffic”

“Typical wear and tear. This vehicle does a lot of short trip, so no surprise the thermostat needed changing. (It was not closing fully, so the engine was taking too long to reach operating temperature”

“Problem was the engine running too cool. Thermostat not operating correctly”

“Car started overheating, which it had never done before; the problem turned out to be the failing water pump”

“The water pump seized ( or froze up )”

“2 years ago, oil began dripping on to garage floor. Oil was never low on oil changes. Finally got tired of cleaning it and took it in. Head gaskets. Fixed for $800”

“If head gasket and valve cover are the same. The valve cover gasket was leaking”

“Not really a problem. Actually had the oil pump seal leaking so decided to have the timing belt done at the same time”

“An engine noise that was originally believed to be the air conditioner compressor turned out to be a problem with the timing belt. Although the mileage was low for timing belt the age of the car probably contributed to the need for replacement”

“Had to replace the timing belt with a standard kit that required changing twice in less than 12,000 miles”

“Timing belt broke just after the recommended change interval. It had been on the car for 8 years in extreme driving conditions (Phoenix, AZ)”

“timimg belt, replaced”

“The timing belt failed. Had not replaced the belt ever. No damage to valves”

“All Toyota make slug in the transmission & engine. Just before it is time to change the oil the trans starts to slip. Toyota made these engines & trans for over 10 years. I will never buy another Toyota again”

“Just needed a seal replaced”

“had a number of leaks and trouble repairing all leaks”

“They had worked on Transmission about 5 years ago and may they didn't put it back properly. Now the gasket is leaking and may cost about $800 for putting a new gasket”

“I had leaks that were obvious on the garage floor. Technicians advised replacing the main seal. Doing so seems to have stopped the leaks, but now the transmission shifts roughly in a way it never did before”

“I got a warning light on the dash, so I took the car to a Toyota dealer for diagnosis and repair”

“the sentra's radio was replaced”

“The radio has developed static”

“Actually, it's more of an ignition switch problem. Very occasionally the key will not turn (even after snapping the steering wheel, emergency, etc.). I've had the switch and the lock replaced (separately) but it has happened once since the last rep”

“The "check engine" light went on and I was told the transmission needed work. I was having No problems with the car but in VA if the "check engine" light comes on it can not pass the State emissions inspection. I think I wasted my money, the car was”

“stuck in low gear, wouldn't shift into reverse”

“The transmission started slipping then completely failed within one week. $1,800 covered the rebuild and now we continue to travel without concern. This is a great old car”
