Toyota Camry Change Vehicle

"Would not play some CDs. The service department at the Toyota dealer claimed that the CDs were bad, but they played without a problem with a different CD player"

"Lower portion of the touch screen would not work. It was replaced under warranty"

"Worst touchscreen display"

"Lower half of touch screen was unresponsive to touch rendering many features unusable"

"Lower edge of touch screen often did not work. It took four visits to the shop to resolve it"

"A portion of the display screen froze about a year ago. Lower left quadrant. Because of this, could not link to any new devices as that part of the screen controlled new device linking. Only solution from Toyota was to replace the unit, which I have since done with a non-Toyota brand system. Did not like Toyota's 'ownership' of what appears to be a fairly common issue with their radios."

"display screen is a touch operated screen that stops working in the lower right corner. Factory defect that is only covered under the 3 year 36k mile warranty."

"On screen buttons do not work to change the audio settings. The car has a warranty of 3 years/36,000 miles and was out of warranty in 2017. Dealers will not do anything after the warranty expires."

"Display touch screen touches were way off. Had to replace the touch screen. A lot of work"

"The vehicle entertainment display will occasionally freeze or go blank. If the vehicle is restarted, it typically corrects the issue."

"I don't have the full navigation system but the apps section has a traffic map. It is pathetic. Very small and doesn't track my location well"

"Display screen would not show anything, because of this I did not have a radio or back up camera"

"touch screen was only partially operable. service department replaced the unit and it works fine now"

"Stereo touch screen became defective"

"The music system is unable to accurately read/play music through a thumb drive. I tried four different drives, with the same or different music. Nothing was successful"

"bluetooth"

"The USB port was not working"

"I find the entire system over complicated and difficult to use. One time I was stuck in mute and could not find out how to unmute"

"once the unit was replaced everything works like new. service department was excellent. they recognized the problem and took care of us"

"Gps provided wrong route information"

"The entire navigation system stopped working and had to be reset"

"The GPS was not giving me reliable directions. It was telling me to take every exit I came to on major highways. I went to three Toyota dealerships with this problem, and only my own dealership ,A-1 Toyota was able to correct the problem, and they did it at No charge. I had an extended warranty plan."

"Entering destination information"

"I lost address's to that were input into the gps it would forget them. The next I would go to look for them they were gone. toyota says just put them back in. This a lot of money for a system that is broke"

"Too little info provided in directions given and most too late to make necessary turns required. Trouble conveying my voice request to navigation system. Purchased and substituted an on-dash Garmin GPS in place of built in navigation system"

"Driving directions are all over the map. Doesn't take into consideration time and distance relationship"

"Awkard and cumbersome to use and not nearly as user friendly and accurate and good at finding restuarants,etc as my stand alone Garmin unit. I use the Garmin rather than the one built in my Camry"

"voice recognition does not work. Dealer refused to repair"

"False and sometimes dangerous misdirections with the GPS system. Toyota Field Agent was unhelpful!"

"Originally programed two smart phones, later one of the phones lost contact, could not be reprogrammed"

"phone will not stay connected dealer will not or cannot fix"

"This problem was fixed when I got the new radio as discussed above"

"Bluetooth connects and disconnects during call...(but not all the time) The phone itself stays on but the car audio disappears during the call. It will then return for a while and then go thru the same process again,"

"no fix needs to be replaced"

"Entune bluetooth phone connectivity and apps both failed and unit had to betsy replaced."

"I am not able to pair my smart phone... I thought it might be user error...lol. But my tech savy son could not get it to pair either."

"culd not pair another phone, could not use the touch screen"

"Will not pair with my wife's Samsung phone. Will pair with my Motorola but not Samsung"

"Iphone suddenly wouldn't pair with car and was informed warrenty had just expired and would cost to find out what the problem was and then cost more to fix it and I was unwilling to pay what would probably be a large amount. I didn't need the phone paired as just wouldn't use while driving or would pull over if necessary."

"Lower right hand quarter of the screen became inactive, not responding to touch. As a result, not able to link new phone to system. From online forums, appears to be a common problem with stock Toyota radios in Camry. Replaced it myself with new radio."

"The phone pairing will not stay connected, the bluetooth is very poor quality"

"Phone - Bluetooth pairing electronics failed entirely, and entire head unit (Entune premium) had to be replaced within 3 weeks of purchase of vehicle"

"sporadic connection. Problem solved by reinstalling phone"

"phone stopped working"

"The telephone directory in my smart phone keeps "disappearing" from the car's system.. As a result, voice command does not recognize the people I'm trying to call"

"I have 2 phones. Neither is a smart phone. My work phone, is a casio razor and my personal phone is an LG, both using verizon. Bluetooth can't use my personal phone and turns if off"

"Toyota does not have the technology updates to support a blackberry and this was finally told to me after 5 visits. I was extremely unhappy with how I was dealt with during this process but didn't get any satisfaction until my employer purchased an i"

"Since Andriod 5.0 upgrade, I am unable to get the entune system to work properly. My phone will turn the car's Bluetooth off. I have tried a Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6"

"Will not use my contact list"

"System does not pair with the newer phones. No software update from Toyota"

"Phone pairing was fine first 10 months. Then stopped recognizing my phone. It was the same phone"

"will not accept contacts from second phone and sometimes freezes out one of our phones"

"Saved stations kept disappearing"

"It is difficult to navigate to another station while driving"

"What I was having problems with was with "traffic" and "weather" on my choices of the apps. It would say that HD signal was not available"

"When listening to AM broadcast the volume would fluctuate. Dealer replaced radio under warranty."

"The touchscreen sensor needs calibration to see my finger touch the correct spot. Calibration is not available through the user interface. The problem prevents me from adding a new Bluetooth device to the radio."

"We can no longer access the bottom row of the touch screen. Can't adjust bass, fade, speaker choice, etc."

"Defect was known to dealer. Toyota would not replace unit. Cost me $1200.00 for a refurbished unit."

"Dealer had to change the modle"

"The radio was not keeping the stations I had selected. The dealership had to update the software to repair it"

"Bad door speaker"

"The radio and dash lights began flashing randomly when I would turn off the car almost immediately after I bought the car. After a few months of this happening occasionally, I took it in and the dealership replaced it. The radio had to be ordered s"

"The car has a hands free phone call feature that does not work and has never worked since purchase. The dealer does not recognize the in dash "radio" number. The speakers also occasionally emit a loud piercing noise. Again, the dealer was unable to identify the source of the problem."

"The quality of the speakers and the overall qualityof the sound system on my 2014 Camry XLE is not good. I had to replace all of the speakers with a non-Toyota brand to get half way decent sound, but still poor quality system due to the electronics o"

"Does not understand my voice commands......ask for repeat over and over"

"Voice command system wouldn't get through the initiation phase. Problem was intermitant. Problem was repaired through a software update"

"wouldn't recognize any voice commands. Had to be reinitialized and then provided with a software update, per the Toyota dealer"

"The system has trouble recognizing commands related to navigation and the smart phone paired with it"

"The voice control for the navigator is so bad it's nearly pointless even using it, but gps ops are disabled any time the car is moving so even my passenger can't set up the GPS. In short, the GPS is just about worthless"

"It has never worked...after pressing the steering wheel button, the screen says that it is in some sort of loop, and it never clears. It also impacts the navigation system, as there is no way to enter a destination address. It is a horrible design"

"Repeated requests to start over and repeat my request. "Don't Understand Your Request""

"The voice recognition was serviced three times. Although it improved, it is still almost useless. It offers responses that have NO relationship to what has been spoken"

"very difficult to get navigation to work using voice commands"

"It is unlike the 2007 Lexus and 2005 Prius we owned, and after 12 months we still cannot get it to reliably reposnd to simple commands. The older Toyota vehicles were MUCH better. And the dealer is USELESS"

"voice command system simply stopped accepting commands. I would activate it, and it would reply "what would you like to do", and then turn off"

"It takes too long to start up, and it doesn't recognize my speach"

"almost immediately after purchase, the voice command most often wouldn't work. Usually it would say messaging or voice command was not available. Occasionally the phone wouldn't even pair. The entire console later began flashing erratically at tim"

"Windshield washers leak when not in use. Dealer replaced the plastic valve that controls the washer fluid. It still leaks."

"Windows allow water to leak into the interior of door panels. After rain and all is dry, lowering windows then raising them shows water on window exterior. Mold smell from doors is obvious"

"Water condensed in the head light chamber"

"windows module off track due to bad parts"

"Wind noise doors not fir correctly Hard time getting resolved"

"Rattle from under the dashboard"

"Have a constant low vibration noise which comes from the trunk area"

"Subtle squeak in dash in radio area"

"Rattles in the dash area on bumpy streets"

"I experience a clunking sound often when starting the car and shifting into reverse. There is an squeaking sound when I drive over small bumps from the right side of my car"

"Expected a Toyota to be built more solid and to not have the amount of interior trim squeaks and rattles that it has"

"a loud and uncomfortable ride on surfaces not smooth asphalt"

"Front passenger seat rattles. Cushions on front driver seat were replaced due to a defect."

"Rattle in air bag in right A pillar"

"WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, TRUNK MECHANISM SQUEAKED. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS OCCURRED AGAIN."

"Rattling noises coming from moonroof that are annoying. Thousand dollar repair not covered by extended warranty since this is not a safety issue, according to local dealer and Toyota headquarters in California."

"The squeaks and rattles in this car are as constant as the wind noise. It almost feels as though we have a cheap Walmart version of a vehicle - low-quality components and a low-quality end product. Love the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, but lack of noise control is probably the main reason we would not purchase another Camry model."

"Steering column rattle when drine under 30mph. Dealer replaced steering column after 4 attempts to fix rattle. Rattle gone but came back after one year. Asked another dealer who told me to take it back to original dealer who is familiar with rattle. Why would I go back to dealer who couldn't fix it. Still have rattle."

"squeaks coming from sunroof"

"Rattle occurs in the dash in cold weather. Clears up when it gets warm."

"Depends on road surface and speed"

"The front passenger seat back rattles when no one is seated in it. The dealer replaced the seat but did resolve the rattle."

"Rattle in drivers door and windshield trim. Annoying but does not affect functionality"

"Road and wind noise pronounced in vehicle"

"The car has rattles in the dash and i the front wind shield pillars that it should not have for a 12 month old car"

"the rattles seem to be coming from the dashboard"

"Front passenger seat rattles"

"intermittent small rattle, took several tries, but dealer finally fixed it"

"Have had 2 separate rattles from the start. One was able to be fixed by the dealer, but the other intermittent rattle is still causing me problems, even after 9 visits to the dealer. Have decided to file Vehicle Defect Notification form with Toyota"

"rattle in door likely from loose window glass"

"hard to locate rattles"

"dash board rattles"

"The car rattles when going over rough pavement,"

"protective trim that was placed on door edges was misaligned causing a grinding screech whe opening & closing rear drivers side door"

"interior rattles like an old truck on smooth surfaces or rough surfaces regardless of interior or exterior temperatures.lumbar support in seat makes a ticking, cracking noise and vibration. unfixable design flaws"

"Rattles in door/window"

"Car is noisy not a quiet ride difficult for older drivers with hearing problems to carry on conversations"

"Outside noise is quite apparent"

"unbearable noise when rear windows are down. Air leaks and noise when windy. Heavier winds blow the car around. Being stopped in a turn lane while traffic is moving causes slight rocking of car"

"The car is noise while driving freeway speed. Been told it needs different rubber strips put at the bottom have of doors. Since I don't drive the car that much, I'll fix it I do drive it. This is noisier than my diesel truck"

"noise air and inside lack of quite noisy nad rattle ride on even minor bumps"

"If you open rear windows there is noise and turbulence within the car. Turning up the radio will block wind noise when windows are closed while driving on the highway. Standing still in a turn lane the car shakes and makes noise when other cars pass. The larger the vehicle the more noise and shaking."

"The wind noise when this car is driving at highway/interstate speeds is constant and annoying. We bought this after having a Buick Park Avenue Ultra. The Camry was bought due to fuel efficiency and reasonable cost. The noise in the Camry is loud enough to interfere with normal conversation and we resort to raised voices or virtually screaming when talking with other riders. The Buick was so comfortable and quiet that it spoiled us. This Camry definitely took us backwards in cars and options."

"At highway speeds there is a lot of wind noise"

"At highway speed. I believe it is inherent in the design."

"Seems to have wind noise - not all the time? Don't know if I damaged something that loosen the wheel cover, but a mechanic has not told me this and I think they would."

"at high speeds noise in the interior makes conversation difficult and listening to music difficult"

"One piece of the trim under the doors came loose at the rear part of the car. It was easily glued back in place with adhesive purchased at a parts store."

"Front bumper is loose due to ties under the front of the car being broken loose by scraping on parking lot stops."

"Driving over simple speed bump and low curb dislodged under carriage trim"

"Front cowel hangs too low and scrapes the road on uneven surfaces"

"Trim on the door."

"Front fender comes loose from whatever it is secured to. I've noticed this in several Camry's"

"Car had a cracked fog light lens and a small crack in the bumper. These were unnoticed at the time of purchase"

"front bumper popped out"

"The (dust?) panel located under the front bottom of the car gets dislodged from its anchors (connection points to the body of the car) if the bottom of the front bumper makes the slightest touch to the curb, for example, as during parking. The front"

"Splash Shield under engine fell off while driving on highway. Caused side Fender moulding to come loose"

"Trim is loose roof has dents they fixed but not all of them plus rattle in side of car. only 4000 k miles sad!"

"Window trim bowing. Had to replace"

"The exterior bumpers are extremely fragile particularly in very cold temperatures and have cracked and pulled loose with minor contact with ice"

"Paint started flaking off first around the rim of the trunk, and on some areas on the front bumper."

"paint fading around window trim"

"Approximately two years ago, paint began to peel in a small area on the left side of my car next to trunk lid . Now peeling is more extensive there and is also on both sides of the car next to the hood opening in the front of the car. On 8/20/19, I was told by an independent body shop (not dealer) that this is called delamination -- final coat did not adhere to base coat. He said other Camrys have had the same problem. The only solution is to have the entire car repainted and would cost between $4,000 - $5,000. He wouldn't even touch it up because he said the process would lift up the paint near the touch up. Eventually the entire car is going to peel. (Prior to going to the independent body shop, on that same day I took the car to the Toyota dealership and they said nothing about delamination. They gave me a number to call Toyota which I haven't done yet.) I went on-line (Consumer Reports and car complaints.com) and found that other 2014 Camrys (some white) have had the same exact problem. My car is a 2014.5 White Camry LE with 16,200 miles and no mechanical problems that I'm aware of as of this date (8/26/19). I had planned to keep this car for several more years. I'm very disappointed and shocked that this happened to a Toyota!!! ( This is my third car since 1987 -- all Camrys.) If you respond to these surveys, I'd appreciate any information you can give me -- especially how Toyota is handling this. I'm a long-time subscriber to Consumer Reports and always check your ratings before purchasing anything especially cars. Thank you. Elaine C. Sozzi (570) 288-2185 or ecsozzi@gmail.com"

"Paint near the trunk on the left panel is chipping off for no apparent reason"

"2014 Toyota seems to have provided a soft paint which scratches easily and takes a sandblasting on the front hood from normal driving. My vehicle is blue which is a discontinued color for 2014"

"Paint job is of poor quality. Partially my fault for not inspecting thoroughly prior to purchase."

"some small spots appearing on the trunk and on the hood. Started about a year or two ago, at least when I noticed them. Not severe. Some due to the normal wear and tear (a stone, bird dropping, etc)"

"This was a recall item. It was a small 4" crack that appeared 18 months ago and is part of a reall."

"In a parking lot a car pulled in next to us and opened their passenger door and struck my passenger door. Caused two dents."

"The paint has slight chips alongside the edge of the hood. You don't see it unless you look for it, but it's an obvious defect."

"Paint began peeling in scattered small random areas after about 2 years. After 3 years Toyota sent a letter advising a problem with the paint adherence of "super white" color; they were seeking a solution and would advise when a solution was available. Apparently it's not available after 6 years of life."

"paint is not durable at all...lean up against it and it marks or leaves scratches...I would not buy this car again....I would go back to Hondas"

"Paint doesn't stick to car when going thru car wash"

"The car had to be repainted as the original pain job had spots all over the flat surfaces. It was caused by acid rain per the dealer. The dealer paid to paint the car"

"No more than six months after purchasing and driving barely 4000, I see the front (mainly), back, and even on the sides, there are small black spots, as if hit by small stones at high veracity. I know that is not how they are cause, first because I"

"Small area of rust starting on bottom of front door driver's side"
