Toyota Camry Change Vehicle

"We opted for the single CD player and have had to replace it three times since we have owned the car and it is on the fritz again. We've been thinking of calling or contacting Toyota because we think it has to be bad design for all Camry's or someth"

"Player has stopped functioning about 3 yrs ago. Will not accept an CD"

"intermittent nonfunction"

"The CD player simply stopped working. It cost around $700 to replace"

"stopped working. I have had it reset twice but it keeps failing, Replacement is the only option. Radio still works"

"When it is bright outside and it shines into the car, I have difficulty reading the menu and the GPS system. Also, I have to stop the car in order to program a new address into the GPS system. Entering an address is very cumbersome"

"Display screen went blank a month ago. Unable to access any information displayed on the screen"

"audio input jack is loose. wire needs to be held down to work sometimes"

"Shorted out - replacement cost almost the worth of the car so we left un repaired"

"The touch screen became unresponsive, which disabled GPS navigation, CD playing, sound control, auxiliary audio input, and bluetooth phone pairing. OEM replacement cost estimate was more than $4,000. I had an aftermarket replacement installed for les"

"Just doesn't seem to work. Maps don't download"

"Pairing has to be done manually each time the car is started"

"the bluetooth never really worked from day 1, poor clarity, poor pairing, just poor quality .. \i gave up on it and use a bluetooth headset"

"Poor quality of connection"

"Display intermittent Difficult to tune radio turn off and on"

"I periodically lose the station display and can only listen to the station I was tuned to when the display went out. This eventually corrects itself, but then goes out again"

"sometimes didn't work"

"Radio display would disappear, radio would not function, but then suddenly come back only to disappear again. Display showed odd symbols or parts of letters/numbers"

"on/off button frozen. would cost too much to fix"

"Have not been able to listen to a certain favorite sports station - radio has very high pitch sound on that station and no dealer can fix it"

"Radio video display goes blank"

"The radio screen goes blank or the lcd display gets weird characters. The volume control knob will not work when this happens. Pushing the station buttons causes it to go off. The steering wheel controls still work!"

"When my car has been parked in the sun on a warm or hot day, 30 min.+ The stereo gets heat-stroke. Push station button, and the CD pops out, or push seek and something else happens. The display has sym. After 10-15 min, with the AC on it corrects its"

"Car door speakers not working. Right rear speaker(in the trunk) has started to have a static sound"

"JBL speakers audio quality is poor even after having them replaced"

"My A/C stopped working, it had a leak so it was over $1000 to repair"

"the original compressor failed and the dealer had to install 3 different rebuilt ones to find one that would work"

"the automatic system takes a long time to begin heating in the winter and in shoulder months, blows A/C regardless of outside temp -- all based on the temp INSIDE the vehicle. Would never get this in a car again"

"When on cooling it blows both hot and cold air"

"they said i had leak. $1700 to repair"

"Evaporator started leaking three years ago. Too expensive to repair."

"Labor cost very expensive."

"Air conditioning system gradually failed due to crack in evaporator coil resulting in complete loss of refrigerant. Repair cost about $2200 due to high labor costs associated with removing and replacing front dash to effect repair"

"The evaporator coil started leaking so that the air conditioner would not hold charge. Replacing it was expensive because it required removing the dash board and associated equipment"

"Had to have the entire dashboard taken apart to fix the evap on the A/c unit. $2200 I know a couple of others that had same issue with Camry"

"Was putting out very little heat"

"Air conditioning system stopped cooling the auto. Dealer pumped air out of the system and recharged it, possibly tightening fittings. No charge for parts. Air conditioner working satisfactorily now."

"Had to have the system recharged. It was very low on refrigerant. No leaks could be found but the shop said it was unusually low on refrigerant so there might be a leak they can't detect with dye."

"The leak was in the evaluator. Had to remove dash to repair."

"slow leak around a valve"

"Water pump leaking"

"Refrigerant leaked - car wouldn't cool - no leak could be located - 1.25 lb 134a added car ok for 9 months so far"

"During a routine servicing (oil change and lubrication) the garage discovered the refrigerant leak in the radiator itself. The radiator had to be changed"

"Refrigerant leaked out, refilled but could not find area where leakage occurred. Good for one year. The following year same thing happened. A dye was used again to determine the area of leakage. It was discovered and fixed"

"Interior dash and center consol not durable to normal wear and tear. Majority of time there were no children or passengers while car was used"

"Diver side Sun Shield broke off"

"Weather stripping comes loose and drivers side visor has become inoperative. Replaced twice"

"Sun visor wouldn't stay up"

"car leaked badly in rain"

"It started getting spots on an area of the front/side fender."

"pitts"

"The paint on the roof and rear fenders began eroding."

"Paint is chopping off. This has been an issue for several years"

"Paint faded on hood and top"

"tiny rust spots but maybe only 10 or 12"

"Clear coat cancer (peeling from sun damage. Interior headliner came loose near rear window"

"Clear cost is peeling on the roof, hood, rear deck lid. I am waiting for Toyota to inspect for possible warranty repair"

"The paint gets little rust dots all over the sides and it is very hard to rub it out with wax. Even after they are gone they come back in a few months"

"Very bad paint job. Single stage paint. Clear coat has faded. Waxing doesn't help"

"paint chips very easily. The least little "ding" will knock off paint"

"rust on rear panel where it meets bumper, minor now but expensive to repair"

"Radiator is leaking so I added radiator stopleak as a temporary fix until I can have new radiator installed"

"OEM thermostat failed at approximately 90,000 miles. I installed quality after market thermostat, its seal failed a few months ago."

"leaking water pump"

"Water pump failed at 66000 miles. $500 dealer replacement. Not what I had expected with Toyotas advertised reliability"

"I believe this was just normal wear and tear. Waterpump had to be replaced at 105,000 miles"

"Car was making noises which got progressively worse. Water pump had gone bad. Had to be replaced. Replaced and have had no problem since"

"Leaking. Replaced"

"Car barely has 50000 miles and the water pump is leaking and must be replaced. We had a 2006 Prius which required a new water pump around 80000. Is this a common Toyota problem?"

"A slow coolant leak required pump to be replaced at a scheduled maintenance"

"slow leak around the pump gasket. Replaced pump"

"Counting the original this was the third water pump. Not what I consider the norm for Toyota durability"

"Leaking, November 2013, replaced"

"Developed small leak. Replaced at dealership out of warrantee"

"I was told that the water pump was leaking and needed replacement. I did not experience any problem with the car, but was told that the level of coolant was low, and that there was a problem detected with the water pump"

"Water pump replaced at 24,000 miles and again at 72,000 miles. Car currently has 74,000 miles"

"My water pump needed to be replaced when I reached 105,000 miles. This is a normal maintenance issue"

"It burns/leaks oil. One quart every 1000 miles."

"This engine is known to Toyota to burn excessive amounts of oil. This causes need for major overhaul. My car is now undergoing testing to confirm this issue. Toyota has an extended engine warranty for this problem. I am hopeful that Toyota will repair my vehicle. This is the second Toyota vehicle I've owned with engine oil issues. Toyota denied my claim on the first vehicle and I had to repair at my own expense"

"I have to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Toyota says this is normal aging. I disagree"

"Excessive oil consumption and running out of oil before 6 months or 5000 miles. Toyota considered rebuilding the engine under a recall but they determined that the car was not sufficiently affected by the issue to cover the repair. I disagree"

"Recall on Camry for excessive oil usage. Toyota paid for it"

"Toyota checked car for excessive oil consumption. Without checking anything they changed the oil which had recently been done and said they could not check until leaks are fixed. That was a rip-off"

"Oil levels always low when I go for an oil change"

"gasket leak"

"The car uses a quart of oil about every 800 miles as many of the Camry's due. Toyota knows about the problem but does nothing to fix it"

"1.oil leaks from oil pan gasket, twice. First time in 25,000 mi,dealer replaced oil pan gasket under warranty.2nd time in 120,000 mi,I paid dealer $240 to reseal oil pan leaks.2. increased oil consumption with 0W20 mobile 1 syn oil.Add 1 qt/5000mi"

"While I did not see any evidence of oil leaks, dealer service personnel told me my oil pan gasket was leaking and needed replacement and I did it"

"Valve cover gasket leak"

"burns excessive amount of oil. I do all maintanience ahead of schedual only using mobile one syn. oil and toyota oil filters,oil and filter changed every 5,000 miles"

"The 2AZ-FE 4-cylinder engine started burning oil at 60,000 miles, about 1 quart per 1,200 miles. The dealer insisted that one quart per 1000 miles was normal. After losing a class-action lawsuit, Toyota extended the warranty for engine rebuild (pistons and rings) to 150,000 miles. Dealer oil consumption tests did not exceed 1 quart per 1000 miles until the car had 156,000 miles on it, so they refused to pay for the repairs. Repairs estimated at $6,500 from dealer, $4,500 from independent mechanic. This generation of Camry had a large number of recalls, and in-warranty repairs. A 7-year, 140,000 mile extended warranty that I purchased from Toyota for $2,100 (normally a bad investment--but this car is my first lemon from Toyota) covered almost $7,000 worth of repairs over its lifetime."

"ne uses 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Toyota knows they have a defectie engine and has skirted around the issue. I will never buy another Toyota. They have relied on their reputation far too long. The 08 Camry is a piece of junk."

"I started buning oil in the engine but didn't have an oil leak. The Toyota dealership evaluated my car and put a control to monitor the oil use and loss of it. It turned out that my oil loss was caused by something that qualified for my engine to be rebuilt by Toyota."

"Recall. Burning excessive oil."

"Was recalled at 120000 miles and totally rebuilt by Toyota at no cost to me. Great service."

"Dealer found the problem and it was rebuilt by Toyota no cost"

"While driving on 285 south I had complete engine failure Cost lots of money to replace engine"

"Timing chain broke"

"It ran a rod in the engine after only 165, Toyota replace the engine and the radiator"

"The engine had excessive oil consumption. Toyota ran it through several oil consumption tests and confirmed. They ended up replacing the piston rings under warranty"

"My vehicle was having trouble absorbing oil at about 40,000 miles. While the work was all covered under the warranty, I had to basically get about $5,000 worth of engine repair work done at the dealership"

"Just had to replace the side marker bulb in the headlight assembly"

"This car is golden, however, the headlights have gradually grown so dim, as to render the car useless at night. The dealership polished the lenses, which helped a bit, and we had the bulbs replaced, but the lumen output, I believe, is unacceptable. I see a lot of older cars on the road with the same problem. Talk about a hazard! Is there no test to determine when the lights are too dim? I can't drive around with the brights on. That's illegal, and unsafe. The only cure, according to Toyota is replacing the entire unit at $400 each."

"not bright enough, one of the oil hose was leaking and couldn't drive."

"The Headlights on this thing go out every 2-4 years. They get very hot from the engine compartment and then with the heat they already produce it is just too much."

"They're so fogged up it looks like I don't even have lights on"

"Both headlights (running/regular/brights) failed over the year. It turned out there was a water leak that was shorting out the electrical system to the headlights"

"Keyless entry and door actuators began failing. Passenger side doors work only intermittently"

"All four automatic, keyless door locks failed over the course of the last 14 months"

"Drive shaft had to be replaced"

"Required replacement of the steering intermediate shaft at 48,993 miles"

"I had to replace the alternator and battery after the car died on the high way about 2 months after I had it checked out at Toyota."

"Alternator required replacement"

"Fuel sensor went out, cost $400 to replace"

"Engine trouble light on. However , car was certainly driveable for a 2 weeks til it was repaired"

"both O2 sensors had to be replaced in the last 12 months"

"Warning light indicates driver air bag is OFF. Called Toyota who said it is probably a sensor. Car is out of warranty."

"Flange between intermediate pipe and muffler rusted out causing leak"

"rusted out and part that held to chasis broke off"

"seat heater works intermittantly"

"Trunk Locking solenoid failed"

"Batteries fail after only 2 or 3 years"

"Had to have this cars battery replaced twice already"
