Toyota Camry Change Vehicle

"The computer control failed and was replaced. There was a subsequent recall on this part, and I was reimbursed for the repair"

"Worn out"

"Rather irritated that one caliper would not release occasionally. Mechanic cleaned it and it was ok for awhile. Finally ad to replace it."

"Replacement of front calipers"

"Defective rear brake caliper...needed to replace calpiers on both sides. :-("

"Calipers locked up, terrible noises. Had it fixed"

"Right rear caliper failed to fully release causing premature wear and damaged rotor. Left rear pads were only 50% at time"

"Just worn after 5 years on the road,dealer showed me the wear"

"ninety thoUSnd kilometers, they needed to be changed"

"Replaced front an dcrear brakes and caliper"

"stuck caliper causing scoring of rotor"

"Left rear caliper would refuse to retract and had to be replaced"

"REAR CALIPER STUCK. I DIDN'T KNOW THIS. DROVE APPROX 3 WKS WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I GOT IT IN TO THE MECHANIC."

"One caliper wouldn't retract until replaced by a new one."

"it wasn't safe driving the car with this issue and it wasn't cheap to rectify the problem either."

"This was a manufacturer's recall"

"under recall 2 hr dealer replacement"

"regular brake maintrnancr, although noisy and had to return for that issue"

"Replaced rear pads, rotors, caliper"

"Replaced the pads."

"Replaced brake pads and rotated rotor in front brakes"

"brake pads repalced"

"Rotors and pads worn out. Rotors should have lasted to 100000 miles"

"just routine brake replacement"

"First time I had brakes done.Dealer showed me the wear"

"replacement of cuffs"

"This was just normal wear and only the second time I've had to do this since I've owned the car. I think that is a great maintenance record.."

"Calipers and pads needed to be replaced."

"Had to have both front and rear brakes repaired. Had to return twice because of continued noise that was finally resolved"

"After approximately 30,000 miles, I had the front rotors and disk pads changed. Just normal ware and tear."

"Just wear and tear after 10 years of use. Put new brake pads on front but rear brakes OK."

"when weather is damp, the rotors rust quickly.Therefore reducing the brake pads and has some squealing owhen braking."

"Lack of use caused premature rusting of rear brakes"

"Driver side parking shoes stock - overheating the wheel"

"Brakes seem to wear especially fast on this car"

"defective brake line caused caliber to not return problem occurred on right side then occurred one year later on left side"

"Required complete replacement of brakes and abs sensors, not particularly high mileage, also about equal proportion of city and highway driving"

"Front and rear rotors warped. Replaced the rear because were in worse shape. Dealer said the brake pas were about one half worn"

"Brakes wore out earlier than I would think and caused damage to rotors"

"Right rear pads (passenger side) worn at 26000 miles. Replaced both rear pads"

"Related to calipers"

"Rear brakes needed to be replaced before 40,000 miles. Too soon, I think"

"Rotors wrapper"

"At 63,129 kms, the Camry needed new brake pads and rotors at a cost of almost $ 500"

"Brake pads/rotors premature wear due to dust/dirt accumulation on rear brake calipers. Had to replace pads/rotors. Toyota service person indicated that brakes should be cleaned out every 20,000 miles to prevent premature wear"

"right rear brake engaged all time due to a defective brake line hose"

"Replaced back brakes since they were down to a millimeter thickness. Front brakes were fine"

"We do not drive aggressively. However, we needed new front brake pads and rotors at around 52000 miles. This is far earlier than expected."

"when braking harder at high speeds (60 mph+) there is a rather pernounced pulsating. After a while of city driving the pulsating stops. It feels much like making emergency stops. I asked about it once and was told that it was probable the warped rotors. But if it was warped rotors it would happen all of the time."

"Experienced pulsation every time the breaks were used in city as well as on the highway. It was especially evident bringing the car to a slower speed on express ways."

"The heat caused by the bad caliper warped the rotor which caused vibration when braking. This was more noticeable when going down a mountain."

"The front disks apparently got warped, due to overheating, and this caused the wobbly vibration when going down a steep hill while braking. it was scary....got them replaced within a couple days. Now all is fine."

"After approximately 30,000 miles I had the front disk brake rotors and disk pads replaced."

"New brakes installed less than a year prior. Installer replaced at no cost."

"Dealer said it was time to have new pads and turn the rotors"

"Normal wear and tear"

"THE BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR"

"They warped and had to replace all 4 of them."

"Rotors became "out of round" and needed to be replaced. Mechanic said this could have happened when i ran thru puddle of water when brakes were hot.."

"The rotors got a very slight warp in them, you could feel it in the pedal."

"I replaced rotors and pads on all 4 corners due to normal wear"

"warped rotors...needed to be replaced"

"Rotors repeatedly warped causing erratic braking"

"Replace brake pads and rotors"

"Second time same brake rotors resurfaced and pads replaced on same wheel in 16 months and 12,000 miles. Find this to be wrong because doing no extraordinary breaking or driving"

"Installed front and rear brake rotors"

"I had the brake shoes replaced a year ago. They resurfaced the rotors. This year while braking hard; the steering wheel would vibrate. We had new rotors put on, this solved the vibration problem"

"Rotors warped and were replaced. New rotors warped within 2000 miles despite gentle braking"

"Brake pads and rotors heated up enough to cause loss of brake pedal feel,and not because of low brake fluid"

"Needed new front brakes. Was the first time the front brakes had been replaced on this car"

"Worn down enough that they had to be replaced. Okay per me, as this was the first time this replacement had to be done"

"Rotors need re-surfacing"

"Was surprised to learn that the pads wore out and needed to replace rotors"

"replaced rotors then replaced twice due to warping of after market replacements"

"One brake wore out a lot quicker than the others"

"They rust very easily over the winter even with frequent washing"

"The rotors warped at 28k miles and were resurfaced. At 30K they warped again. Toyota PR said they would give me a credit of $170 as a good will gesture if I had the rotors replaced by the dealer.net -$254 for the same inferior rotors. Bought afterm"

"Rotors had to be turned at 60,000 miles because of slight vibration"

"Worn out at 80000 miles"

"Rear rotor replaced due to right caliper failing to release which caused premature wear and rotor damage on right side"

"If the car is parked outdoors for 7+ days without being used (e.g., while on vacation), the brakes embed in the drums and cause brakes to thump when applied. The drums need resurfacing. This has happened 3 times in 4 years!"

"Front rotors caused vibration when braking at high speed due to being a bit warped"

"Rotors got a little to "8" shape"

"Same story as what I said about brakes"

"Had to replace rear rotors at 33000 and front disk brakes at 34000. Seems early too me (based on mileage). We do have a lot of snow and some salt is used"

"Premature wear of brake pads/rotors due to dirt accumulation"

"Needed to be replaced"

"pre-mature wear"

"Due to overheating, the rotors got warped and that caused severe vibration when braking, especially at high speeds. Very scary when you are going down a steep grade and then step on the brakes to slow down and/or maintain speed. The front end shakes and vibrates as if it was going to fall apart."

"2 bad wheel bearings"

"The brakes squeaked when new but then stopped. They didn't squeal to warn me when they were in need of replacement"

"Both fron and rear brake replaced. Squeaking afterward. Attributed to not sufficient lubricant dispersed when replaced"

"Made noises when backing out of the garage. Sometimes when stopping also"

"rear brakes squeaking when backing up"

"Problems are current and car is presently in the shop for repair. I do not have the results yet but this is due to normal wear and tear"

"this was in part due to the warped after market rotors"

"Brake rear brakes squeek after caliper repair"

"my mechanic tells me the "squealers" (that are in the brake system to alert owner to the need for new brakes) are not set right. These are the original factory installed brakes. I have had them reset 2x and still getting high pitched highway noise"

"brakes squeal even when changed"

"on first use of day brakes screech when applied at low speed when backing up only. after short period of USge, issue disappears, to return at next cold start"

"Had to have this checked twice before the problem was resolved."

"Boot leaking, experience once this year bill, will resolve next month."

"after replacing struts car was rattling on slightly rough roads, bushings needed to be replaced"

"loud clunking on even small bumps. Bushings replaced and tech said perhaps struts need to be done also. But so far bushings alone see to have solved the problem. Had same proble with 2004 Camry"

"Leakage discovered during regular service. Not a driving problem."

"One day, I heard skrunchie noises every time I turned the wheel. It was also difficult to turn. We tried to add power steering fluid, but the latch on the hood did not work. We had to take it to a mechanic to open the hood."

"Return line leak. It is a low pressure leak and added fluid once in the last year."

"Leak in power steering hose"

"During annual inspection mechanic found evidence of a leak in one of the struts."

"Started to leak"

"The car was starting to make crunchy noises and riding rough. Struts and shocks replaced and problems were resolved."

"When I bought the car, I had it checked out by Toyota dealer. I was told that struts needed to be replaced."

"Standard struts are under designed if they fail at 45000. I had a warranty. They upgraded them to the higher standard"

"Left rear strut was bad, caused a "clunking sound" on acceleration. Also caused excessive tire wear"

"Had to replace all four MacPherson Struts because of leaks at 52,000 miles. The original Struts were manufactured by KYB"

"Had to replace them as they were wearing out"

"Had to replace two rear struts. Leaking"

"Both sides leaking"

"dealer told me fronts were leaking and rears were in better shape but should be replaced"

"Struts wore out within 40000 miles"

"2 struts were replaced, the other have leakage within tToyotq specs"

"Struts began leaking (these were KYB struts) and had to be replaced. Never experienced strut problems this soon with any car"

"Rear strut leaked. Replaced under extended warranty"

"Dealer service dept said shocks had to be replaced. I hadn't noticed any symptoms but took their word and replaced them"

"Replaced them just after warranty ran out"

"Felt the car should now have had this problem with the type of mileage"

"This has been the only major repair required on this car in 158000 miles"

"they leak"

"Needed new right strut"

"Right side struts needed replacement per Toyota service mechanic"

"Toyota mechanic claimed struts were leaking and should be replaced even though auto had less then 50,000 miles at the time. Found out there are plenty of Toyota owners complaining online about prematurely leaking struts"

"Rear strut leaking"

"replaced shocks/struts on all wheels"

"Front struts went out twice and had to be replaced in the last year"

"Had to replace struts @50,000 mi!"

"The struts were leaking and had been for awhile. They were covered under warranty however, the new struts are also leaking and not covered under warranty"

"Had to replace the struts ast 30000 miles. Unexpected"

"front and rear struts leaking"

"These struts only last for 50,000 miles and they were leaking. This is the front struts. Back ones were fine. My last Camry had no issues with struts and that was a 1997 model"

"Fluid leaking. Need to be replaced"

"My tires, which were a second set, were badly worn. my mechanic told me I needed new front end struts based on the fact my tires were badly worn"

"Leakage in struts, had told the dealership of this problem while on warranty, wasn't addressed until warranty was finished. I believe Toyota has a strut problem and there should be a recall done for strut problems. When I complained dealership replac"

"They developed leaks at the top of the shock or strut. All of them. They all needed to be replaced, after which my front end has stayed in alignment, and my tires aren't wearing down as quickly"

"Wore out with only 45000 miles. Possible because of my wife's driving!"

"2 of the 4 struts were leaking. We decided to replace all 4 struts and have all 4 wheels aligned. The struts should not have worn out at 50,000 miles."

"Wheel failed to return to the neutral position on their own. Had to physically turn the steering wheel back."

"Cable in steering column snapped, Toyota fixed for free...would have cost $1400 otherwise. Factory defect."

"Put in new struts about 55000 miles. Noise developed when steering the car to the left. Got louder and finally had to put in a new rack and pinion"

"Within 12-months of purchase, the steering started making noise whenever you turned the wheel lock to lock. The dealer charged $500 to repair"

"had to replace mid level shaft @ 50,000mi!"

"Rack and pinion cause the car to have steering problems"

"Dealership discovered a severed cable that allows steering wheel to operate properly. Warranty item, $900 repair covered completely by Toyota."

"Worn bushings that need replacement costing approx $1000. Due to this uneven tire wear caused premature replacement of 2 tires costing $300"

"There is a clunk in the steering column. This is a known problem but Toyota will only fix if within warranty"

"The steering wheel developed a rattle and vibration which got worse and worse. Finally the dealer was able to figure out what it was and fix it to the tune of about $700"

"Previously, the vibration was caused by worn wheel bearings; but this time it was due to warped rotors at 105,000 miles. Which I feel is better than normal rotor and brake pad life. Kudos to Toyota on the brake pads and rotors; but bad on the wheel bearings, which I fell should have lasted much longer."

"They were worn from city travel and hod to be replaced for about $2000"

"inner tie rod had to be replaced. Very expensive repair ( $1100)"

"The problem was caused by my wife hitting a parking barrier."

"see previous"

"Had to have a wheel alignment done twice in two years to correct steering issues that resulted in uneven tire wear"

"I had a strange noise on the front driver's side. When I took it to the dealer, they said I needed a beating on the back drivers side. They never fixed the front issue, but I later discovered it was the plastic that was rubbing against the wheel."

"Caused vibration at certain speeds in the right front and gradually got worse over a few weeks. Local garage diagnosed and repaired"

"left rear wheel bearing failed. speeds over 15mph shook the car. could be a normal wear item?"

"Left front wheel bearing began vibrating excessively. Even though the bearing is a sealed unit and did not affect the hub, Toyota insisted they had to replace the entire hub assembly for an additional $150"

"Replaced left front wheel bearing. Never replaced a wheel bearing in a Toyota before"

"Failed right front wheel bearing, resulting in noticeable vibration and noise"

"I have had to replace the front wheel bearings twice."

"Plastic moulding over rear bumper too low. This permits it to scrape high centres and break the flimsy brackets that attach the moulding to the car"

"Drivers sun visor broke and would not stay up. i had to buy a replacement and install it. Toyota knew that these visors were defective but did nothing about it."

"Interior door trim (spongy black lining) came loose for the front passenger door. It could be pushed back into place, but it can slip back out at anytime"

"Both sun visors are broken Toyota recalled sun visors but not my VIN number three out of four AC vents broken does not adjust no recall on that door trim loose does not adjust cannot tighten back up the worst tired I have ever owned"

"sun visors become loose and wont stay up"

"Sticky dashboard when hot"

"Driver side visor broke. Had to be removed to keep it from flopping down all the time. Neither dealer nor manufacturer are the least bit interested in fixing it"

"The vinyl dash pad melted/got sticky. It was replaced under a special extended warranty, but was damaged either before or during installation by the dealer. It is not the same color as the original and does not match the rest of the interior. It does not fit well, leaving large gaps here and there. Adjacent interior trim was damaged during installation."

"Driver's sun visor will not stay in place and Toyota will not fix even though the warranty was extended."

"Broken door card clips Glove box working components cracked plastic Plastic trim component squeeks"

"paint on the alloy wheels are peeling"

"paint faded on hood and top. might have them repainted if i decide to keep the car for 2 or more yrs. the car other wise is very good. this is the best car i have ever bought."

"Paint was fading so bad on different parts of car that decided to repaint"

"Paint clear coat is gone. Paint peeling from the roof. It is spreading quickly."

"paint is fading."

"Car has significant paint damage caused by exposure to the sun"

"Clearcoat and paint started to flake off entire body of the car"

"Paint fading,chalking on hood and fender molding"

"roof edge is turning flat black, last year this happened on the engine hood; we had to get it painted. Our Camry is dark grey with medal fleck. Toyota told us paint is only warranted for 36 months"

"The paint on top of the car is fading"

"Paint on top, hood and trunk developed chalking. This was probably my fault as the car was only waxed 2-3 times since 2010 and was never parked in a garage. It was the regular white paint not the optional 'special' white. Also, there were two areas both about the size of the rim of an upside down coffee cup that were much shinier that the rest of the paint in that area (one on trunk and one on top. This appeared at least in second year of ownership and are still present today"

"The front grill peeling paint off of it, this is the worst Toyota I have ever owned probably will not buy another car from Toyota"

"Chipped paint with the slightest tap and crack by the driver side handle"

"passenger side rear roof side has multiple cracks in the paint"

"Fading and chalking, paint is not quality paint"

"Ongoing, not permanently resolved problem with paint dulling/chalking"

"paint has peeled off on one spot on hood 2 in diam"

"Despite being stored in a garage and sitting outside at work five-days per week, the roof, hood, and trunk have faded and become chalky"

"paint is pitted ,not seen when purchased ,I was informed ,pleasantly "Sorry , we will wax once then its your problem""

"paint fading on trunk"

"Car purchased new. After 2 years paint problems began. Dealer said cars painted white in Florida don't hold up. Funny, that wasn't mentioned when we bought car. Went to corporate but received no satisfaction...basically, took my name and problem desc"

"Painted surfaces tend to be easily chipped by small rocks, bugs and door dings."

"Body paint chips on the front end from bug and small pebbles. Also many paint chips on the sides due to other car door dings."

"Roof required repainting. Other areas will need repainting if I keep the car for several more years."

"Paint chalking on roof and doors"

"It is cracked & fading"

"White color seemed to fade and not respond to waxing. Believe I may not have washed and waxed it enough however."

"pin holes of rust on the roof, trunk seal and body"

"Serious rust underside of doors plus on roof"

"Some of the pits are rusting"

"Just the front hood of my white painted car had pin prick like rust on it. Didn't extend to surrounding areas. Had expert engineer test paint and Toyota denied their failure of paint even tho it was documented"

"very small rust bubble on roof near top edge of front windshield (driver side) Touch-up fixed, but needs to be done each spring. Done by myself."

"Rust spots on the trunk lips, roof, doors"
