Toyota Camry Change Vehicle

"Blocked hood air vent drain tube caused major water damage to car interior including mold and mildew all over interior. Dealer had to find the source and unplugged major mud blockage in vent tube"

"When it rains the interior air filter gets wet"

"moonroof leaking"

"faulty drain from sun roof and clogged air conditioner drain"

"Same window seals are noisy. Believe its due to them not being able to seal properly due to the build up on the gasket on the window"

"Water leaks in the trunk from loose seal with the gasket. Happened after the very intense cold we had in the Midwest this winter."

"Water leaking into front passenger floor area."

"Weep holes around moonroof and along bottom of windshield easily blocked with small de ris (twigs, etc) resulting in water overflow into floor (soaking carpeting)."

"The sun roof drain clogs and water collects in the floorboards."

"The water leak started last winter and the floor was wet front and back. Resolved last spring."

"Trunk fills with water every time it rains. Source of water is not apparent."

"Had water/rain leaking around the moon roof via seals."

"The seals and weather-stripping on this vehicle is always coming loose forcing me to continue to have to reattach it"

"Weather stripping on driver side window has busted loose 2 times allowing severe noise"

"CD player won't eject cd. Wind noise from front windows"

"The gaskets around the windows have created a black line on the window where it seals. Appears the gasket has melted or decomposed slightly on to the window. It can be scraped off, but is hard to do so"

"The seal is what allowed the water to leak inside"

"Air leaks around windows..."

"The weather stripping has become detached from the door frame, thus allowing heat or cold to enter the interior of the car."

"Front and back rattle rxtensively"

"Thumping/cracking noise in roof when car body flexes"

"Sun roof problem rattles"

"Dashboard"

"Clicking noise on the passenger side.(inside)"

"There is a loud squeak as soon as I pull away from the curb and louder when I break. This happens in cold or hot weather"

"Rattle that occurs when driving over bumps. May be associated with sun roof"

"steering control rod binds up, causing a bump when turned hard left"

"Creak in the roof driving over uneven surfaces"

"The sun roof makes a noise each time you go over a rough place in the road. Very annoying"

"Sun roof linkage popping sound when cornering. Toyota repaired problem with service bulletin repair kit"

"Ticking sound at rear suspension. Don't know whether it's from shocks or torsion bars or something else. Only does it when making a turn at low speed and the road is not even"

"Drivers seat squeaks"

"Strange squeaks and pops heard in the back"

"when cold their is a noise from the suspension in the rear"

"The passenger seat rattles constantly and is most noticeable when no one is in it. The dashboard rattles and the fit and finish of the interior or the car is very bad. It rattles and vibrates like its 10 years old"

"popping noise associated with moonroof"

"Dash board rattles drive me crazy and there is no way to access them except by taking down the whole dashboard, which would probably result in another set of rattles"

"Known "popping sound" in roof is known Toyota Service Bulletin (TSB); wasn't fixed prior by Toyota dealer prior to used purchase, ultimately fixed by different dealer after MUCH complaining and diligent attention"

"WHEN I BACK DOWN THE DRIVE TO THE STREET AND TURN THE WHEEL TO GET ONTO THE STREET THERE IS A LOAD CRACKING NOISE ON DRIVERS DOOR . IT I DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO NOISE"

"Moon roof frame loosened, causing rattles"

"A few rattles in the dash"

"Air circulation system rattles"

"The suspension in the front seems off. I've had it aligned several times and otherwise checked out. Nothing is out of the ordinary"

"interior creaking noise from dash during cool mornings"

"Brake pedal loudly 'clacks' upon every release. Dealer couldn't or wouldn't fix it. This is not a slight sound you have to strain to hear -- all in the car can loudly and clearly hear it. [] Also the cupholder between front seats squeak/rattles"

"It might be the stiff suspension but going over any bumps causes loud, plastic flexing sounds in the door panels, back seat squeaks, etc. Their is so much cheap, plastic in this interior, and it all seems to make noise now going over any rough road"

"The rattle seemed to be coming from the moonroof."

"The Camry sounds like something is rubbing/dragging. The dealer agrees there is a problem but can't seem to fix it."

"Engine has a strange rattling noise that can not be traced."

"Squeaks when going over bumps. Haven't repaired it yet but $400 to replace straps around gas tank"

"Once my drive shaft was repaired I experienced a rattling coming from underneath my car. When I took it back to Toyota they told me it was the moonroof. They also told me it would be expensive to repair. I informed them that every time I drove over rough pavement that you could clearly hear a noise come from underneath the car. they insisted it was from the moonroof. To date the problem has not been fixed."

"Issue where the body makes a creaking noise any time the frame appears to twist (e.g. when you take a turn or go over a bump). Evidently a known issue with this car especially around the moonroof. It's quite annoying since it makes this creaking noise on every turn and bump and feels like the car is about to break."

"general squeeks and rattles from multiple parts of the car, dealer attributes them to the sunroof which does not leak therefore I do not want it taken apart for further diagnosis"

"Issue with the brackets holding the fuel tank cause noise when driving"

"At times, the front passenger seat rattles. I put up with it because it's too expensive and time consuming to have everything taken apart to find the cause."

"Going over rough roads"

"This problem originated with the sun roof. Apparently the roof was not reinforced when the opening was created for the sun roof. Over time, this caused audible squeaks as the car flexes that can be heard even when the car radio playing.."

"power sunroof developed loud knocking noise when driving over sharp bumps. Told by Toyota dealer i can still use sunroof, but to stop the rattle would cost nearly $800.00"

"Nose levels are dangerously high on typical roads. Toyota refused too address problem"

"After about 2 years the noise from the wind has been getting louder. When I took it in, I was told everything is ok. Part od my under carriage fell off, loud rattle sound inside of car, the horn that shuts off the fan system, and the front visors that fell off, the list goes on, but I'm always told nothing can be done! I would NEVER recommend Toyota again!!!"

"Seals around windows are disintegrating. Don't seal properly"

"Whistling sound at highway speed"

"Front windows not sealing tighly. Very noisy at 50 mph plus. Noise from front part of roof at same speeds"

"Car is noisy at hwy speeds. Have to turn up the radio to hear it"

"caused by the seal coming loose"

"cabin noise level is poor"

"Road noise makes it difficult to hear both radio (turn it loud to overcome) & back-seat passengers. This is true on streets and especially on highways. If we ever have to replace this 2011 SE Camry, we will look for a much quieter car even a luxury"

"This is an extremely noisy car when driving on the highway with windows closed"

"For an otherwise fairly quiet car, it never sounds like the windows are fully closed (although they are)"

"Cd won't eject. Wind noise from front windows"

"It surprisingly has a lot of wind noise on the highway"

"It is just a very noisy ride and seems to have too much wind noise and road noise"

"The road noise has been very disappointing since we bought the car. Our 1997 Camry was much quieter"

"This wind noise is a problem that we've had with all of our cars. I'm guessing that it's a common problem. And not really a problem. Just an irritation"

"VERY loud wind noise on the freeway. The is almost no sound dampening in this car"

"The Camry is starting to make a lot of wind noise from the doors and sunroof."

"Seals around windows have started to leak and air to rush in when traveling on highways...."

"There is so much wind noise that it's difficult to communicate. We understand that it's a problem with all 2011 Camry's"

"Road noise is significant at high speeds."

"Wind noise around window seals seems to be getting worse..."

"since the struts were replaced, i had the front end aligned"

"Had to replace the entire front suspension system; everyone surprised at repair place; after repair had to be fixed again spraying (oily stuff?) from ball joints"

"I'm letting the Toyota dealer handled it !"

"Worn out. Never been replaced since the car was new."

"One new car dealer said I'd have to replace them. But an independent service shop with good reputation told me there was nothing wrong with the ball joints."

"Rough sensation when driving. about $770 to fix and they told me that Toyotas often have this problem around 115K miles"

"Leaking seal. Toyota dealership charged around $350 for the repair"

"Replaced"

"PS fluid found leaking at routine inspection. Source location unknown."

"leaking power steering replaced unit"

"Technician noticed problem, repaired without incident."

"Routine maint. inspection showed PS fluid leaks. Replaced pump, hoses, clamps and PS fluid."

"The crush washer on the power steering pump high pressure hose was not installed properly from the factory."

"Replaced struts at 72000 miles"

"4 struts replaced"

"One of the front struts was leaking, so they both had to be replaced"

"Struts needed to be replaced"

"Right front shock was replaced due to leaking, although I could not tell that there was a problem by the way the car drove"

"Rear left shock leak"

"front shocks leak"

"All four struts were determined to be leaking, although there were fewer than 40k miles on the vehicle and all were city/freeway driving"

"Needed to replace shocks at 50,000"

"the struts are sealed yet they started to leak"

"Both front struts were leaking and had to be replaced"

"dealer replacing a single rear strut for $680 was to much"

"One of the struts is leaking oil. Advised to replace all four @ a cost of $1000"

"bad front driver strut/shock replaced under extended warranty"

"Front strut leaks at 54000 miles"

"i consider struts a normal wear item and the age and mileage of this vehicle made this a easy decision to replace. I love the way this car rides and there are no major problems with this car."

"Just worn out. They have never been replaced since the car was new."

"Dealer service technician identified leak in struts. At less than 50,000 miles I find this unacceptable for a Camry with Toyota reputation. This is the first unacceptable problem from the 5 or 6 Toyotas I have owned."

"Front struts needed replacement about 82K miles. Got quotes from two Toyota new card dealerships which were several hundred dollars apart."

"during a routine visit shocks were leaking"

"Leaking front struts will not pass state inspection"

"Shocks were leaking and did not pass inspection."

"Bad wear on front tires. Diagnosed as bad struts. Replaced struts and tires. Appears resolved."

"My Camry was having some problems with handling at high speed. Front struts were worn out."

"The front strut assembly enclosure on the passenger side was ruptured and leaking oil. After 130k miles it had finally given up the ghost. Replacement was the only option, so I had both replaced as well as some other suspension components like bushings, etc. expected of a 9 year old vehicle."

"struts became loose needed to be replaced"

"Both front and rear struts needed to be replaced due to milage and age. Right rear strut rod was broken. All four were noisy on rough roads. Replaced all four struts. Rides like almost new."

"The Camry's front end needed major maintenance in 2019, including new shocks and new sway bars and bushings. this developed over years of driving on potholes in the Twin Cities. I thought this was to be expected based on the age of the car and the driving conditions."

"my previous Toyata Camry 2003 struts are fine while my Camry 2011 struts failed"

"replaces struts. streets here are in bad repair car does have 100,000 plus miles"

"At 92,000 both the front and rear shocks needed to be replaced. The problem was discovered because of loud tires which were ruined by the bad shocks."

"At 85000 miles they we leaking fluid. Mechanic recommened replacement which I did. Cost almost $800."

"shocks leak"

"I'm letting the Toyota dealer handle it"

"sluggish steering & noise"

"Stabilizer links - resolved immediately"

"Hard to turn steering wheel"

"needed CV boot repair very expensive - over $300"

"Excessive wear in a steering linkage caused excessive play in steering, with clicking noise. Easily diagnosed and link replaced. Now car drives like new."

"car had noises & vibration when making sharp left turn"

"We had Dunlop tires on the Camry. They started making a lot of noise and it affected the handling and steering. We replaced the wheel bearings and tie rods. But the real fix was when we put new Michelins on the car. That fixed all the noise and steering problems. The Dunlops weren't that old and had a lot of tread left on them. From now on, only Michelins on my cars."

"At higher speeds, above 50 mph, there is a constant vibration felt in the steering wheel. Since we've owned the car it has been aligned three times and the original tires have been replaced twice. Nothing seems to help."

"After shock absorber replacement I experienced this problem. evenwith wheel alignment it is still not completelyfixed"

"Dealer claims outer tie rods bad. Over $600 estimated repair. Not sure i need to replace them."

"new 75000 mile tires were purchased and they were wearing unevenly"

"Bad cupping cause unknown"

"Uneven wear on front tires. Diagnosed as strut problem. Struts and tires replaced. Appears resolved."

"Replace the failing Dunlop tires with new Michelins and that resolved the tire wear problem."

"Every time I bring the car to the dealer for service, they want to do a 4-wheel alignment and they show me what they describe as uneven tire wear. I have not recently owned a set of tires that lasted as long as the manufacturer's warranty, and I believe the dealership is just trying to do unnecessary work to pad the bill. Tires did not appear (to me) to be wearing unevenly, but in Florida, tires don't last very long (heat, chipseal road surfaces)."

"alignment and balance new tires"

"Had to have the wheels realligned"

"The front passenger wheel bearing when out, creating noise and pulling to the right. Now the car shakes a little at road speed and dealer can't figure out why/fix it"

"Howling noise for several weeks. Was needing new wheel bearing - steering knuckle broke upon removal Resolved within a two days time (waiting for part)"

"driving on a trip noise started i thought it was tire problem drove it over 1200 miles then took it to dealer and found out it was right front bearing got it fixed"

"One front wheel bearing had to be replaced since it failed. Replacement was covered at around 52K miles by extended insurance policy purchased with the car."

"Dirt in left rear caliper pin caused break to not release when brake pedal released, and prematurely wore out the brake pads"

"Curiously, the early signs were a clunking sound when going over bumps. Later, scraping sound made us aware that there was an issue with the brakes"

"rear rotors are rusty, so I think the brakes are not working the way it should. I replaced the rear hydraulic hoses, braking is better, it seems the rear brakes are not working very hard"

"Needed replacement as part of the previous problem. the right rear wheel"

"Caliper had premature wear and seized up. Cost about $200 to fix and replace parts"

"Needed to replace the caliper in one wheel"

"Had brakes serviced at Toyota dlr which inc clning and lubing calipers. Less than 1000 k's later heard noise from rear wheel when going over bumps. Diagnosed as left rear caliper bolts loose. They said retightened bolts. I thnk at least one was gone"

"at about 55000 miles - seems very early to have this issue"

"Caliper was squeaking and it was replaced by Toyota Dealer"

"The rear brakes were making a scraping sound when applied. They were "seizing". The caliper, disc brake rotors and pads were replaced and "bled""

"Left rear brakes locked on. Discovered during regular inspection."

"The problem was caused NOT by the car, but by faulty service by my service garage, after I'd had the car checked because we were going on a trip. The garage did something wrong when they checked the brakes, which caused some noise and possible damage. They fixed later, but I also had to pay for their mistake !"

"Normal break wear, dealer said noise was normal we could drive another 5000, only went another 2000 and took it in the noise was so terrible and the brake job was much more due to the amount of damage. Dealership is lazy or they are crooks??"

"Brakes had worn out due to normal wear"

"There was a funny noise, so I brought the car in for checking. I was told it was from brake wear and had it fixed"

"When non-Toyota brand brakes are used with Toyota rotors, the brakes make noise. Toyota brand brakes appear to wear more quickly than premium brand brakes which are lower priced than Toyota brand. Appears to be unfair practice for routine needs"

"Was told I needed brakes in rear"

"Back brakes were worn and replaced"

"Replace breaks"

"The rear brake pads wore out after 126000 miles. Not a surprise."

"I am a constant driver. I did sales of auto parts, and also delivery's with tis car.. I don't have any complaints at all. I do recommend this mfg. They use the best quality parts in there manufacturing, not cheap parts like cheaper vehicles.. only top quality in my option"

"Just time for a brake pad update. That is it. Nothing on Toyota's part. It is on me to follow maintenance schedule."

"With all of the Co-vid issues I just waited too long to get the brakes checked. Had to replace all four."

"Around late fall 2019, I noticed breaking distances may have increased. This was taken care of (brake pads worn, replaced) at a scheduled checkup."

"First pad replacement at 110000 miles. replaced pads and rotors."

"Pads"

"Wear is expected, but stopping is not smooth, ie, some surging at low speeds."

"Original brakes 76000 miles"

"At over 100,000 miles on the original brakes, it was time for new ones. That is exceptional mileage to me, since my last car (Honda Accord) needed new brakes at 30,000 miles. The replacement brakes on the Honda lasted past 160,000 miles, so the OEM brakes on Hondas are a much poorer quality than those installed by Toyota."

"the caliper failure caused the rear pads to wear out"

"Rear breaks and rotors have been worked on twice since I bought the car. The right rear caliper and both brake pads were replaced under warranty by the dealer at around 40k and I replaced both rotors and rear brake pads at 78k. The dealer had checked the car during the 75k check up and said the brakes were fine. Around 78k I noticed a noise from the rear brakes and found the pads worn down to metal on rotor. When I told the dealer at the 80k check up I was told that model is notorious for rear"

"More than I thought but it, it is in daily rush hour stop and go traffic"

"Rear brakes wear unevenly and had to be replaced"

"Rear brakes worn out at 34000 miles due to sticking calipers. Never have worn out brakes this quickly in 52 yrs. of driving"

"Rear brake had one side hang up and drag causing it to fail. This required the replacement of both pads and rotors on both sides"

"Rear brake pads stuck and needed to be replaced with rotor on the driver side rear wheel. Both rear brakes were replaced, but no warranty was given"

"My rear brakes were very badly worn less than 4000km after a vehicle service"

"Car was driven in snow and ice in the north eastern part of the US"

"Seems to be a re-curing issue"

"Firestone could not determine what was causing the vibration on routine maintenance visitation. Brought car in for looking more at the braking. Another tech was able to determine uneven brake wear as well as tires. Two were new but they wanted to sell 4 in total. Only front had more wear."

"When traveling at 75MPH and suddenly apply the brakes there was serous vibration"

"Vibration when braking at highway speeds. Cured by fixing the rotors."

"the brakes on this car are unexceptable, the rotors hardley last 6 months, they warp within months/ aprox. 5k miles, Purchased the OEM replacements from toyota and still have the same results. I would not purchase this vehicle again for this reason alone, Even after a purchasing second new set of front rotors the brakes grind and squeal when you come to a stop, Have had two different repair shops work on this cars brakes. had heard such great things about Toyota, But what a disappointment this car is so far."

"Breaks seem to be an issue with the 2011 Camry. Several break repairs since I purchased this vehicle"

"Both rear rotors had to be replaced"

"Car was sold to us with a defective right rear rotor. We were charged $250 to replace at first maintenance interval. After discussion with the dealer, they returned the cost as a good will gesture. The car was not a 'certified' used car!"

"car shake when braking at high speed warped rotator"

"Recently replaced all rotors and pads with after market parts, problem still exists and maybe worst now"

"see last comment"

"front brake rotors warped"

"Grinding noise right rear wheel rotors were replaced"

"I've had to replace the front brake rotors three times, each set lasts only about a year"

"According to mechanic Toyota brand rotors cannot be "turned or shaved" to allow for continued use. Rotors must be purchased new each time I change brakes. Very wasteful and forced to make purchases not normally needed with other cars"

"rotors warped at 50k"

"Cheap rotors from the factory, should not be warping so easily"

"Rotors have warped twice in the car's life or 60 k miles. Obviously the brakes are barely good enough for the vehicle. Hopefully this third time is the charm to getting things working properly"

"Some warping, causing pulsation and requiring replacement or lathing. Had lathing done."

"Normal ware"

"Hub bearing and rotor replacement. Vibration was significant when braking at high speeds."

"In May 2018 the front rotors & pads had to be replaced. In May 2019 the rear rotors and pads had to be replaced. I understand the pads in particular wearing out sooner. However, I felt the rotors should have lasted longer given the low mileage. Thought the repair cost from the Toyota dealer service center for these repairs was excessive."

"The rotors are warped for the third time even though the car is driven gently."

"needed to replace the rotors as they were making noise and were worn out; went to mechanic and they were fixed"

"They seem to overheat/warp/get uneven very easily - actually to easily."

"On the test drive prior to purchase, the brakes shook on application. I told the dealer. It turns out he cut the existing rotors instead of replacing them. This is hardly Toyota's fault."

"squeaking brakes when first starting repaired twice still occurs"

"At times when I brake, the brakes will squeak. I took it back twice to the dealer and they said it could be the weather. Well, once was in the summer and the other time was in the Fall. Not thrilled with the dealership"
