Toyota Camry Change Vehicle

"The display screen is easily whited out during sunny days, making it hard to see the display screen"

"Some items (font) difficult to see because of too small font"

"Can't see screen in bright sunlight"

"I cannot see the display screen if the sunroof is open or use the backup camera in sunlight. The glare from the sun makes is impossible"

"part of the same problem as the navigation system. the display would freeze during the navigation of a trip"

"The screen will occasionally freeze up when either during a call via Bluetooth or when ending a call. The screen hangs, and the displays "ended" but the screen is frozen and the stereo does not return. I am forced to reboot the Entune system which"

"Navigation App refused to go to Navigation Screen ONCE after several tries (after owning vehicle less than 20 days. Checked with dealer; no updates available; vehicle has all updates already installed. Issue still "up in the air""

"Doesn't always respond or it goes to the wrong application"

"Screen freezes while using GPS about once a month. Must turn off car and restart to unfreeze"

"On the first two road trips taken with the car the screen froze. the second time was when I was using the navigation to go through Atlanta. It froze and the only way to get it started was to stop turn off the car and turn the car back on. Dealer stat"

"Car owned 3 months and all commands , weather thru speech or by touch froze until auto was turned off creating stress. Occurred on 3+ hr trips"

"When playing USB, CD, or Bluetooth the screen just stops responding when forwarding past the current song. This lasts about 30-45 seconds and happens 1 out of every 10-12 times"

"Lower row of selections on the display fail to work. This seems to happen more when the dash board is hot from sitting in the sun or during long trips. This makes it impossible to lower the bass on the radio, answer a cell phone call or respond to text messages."

"The touchscreen which worked the radio and many other features of the car would sometimes not respond to touches at all, sometimes not touches on the bottom part, and sometimes just not in the bottom right corner. The problem existed when we were considering the car. I found a TSB report about it which said the only fix was to replace the unit entirely. The dealership agreed to replace the radio as part of our purchase, so we bought the car and took it back when the new radio came in. It was replaced for free, all parts and labor."

"nav display freezes"

"areas of touch pad do not respond to touch. unable to change stations on radio. unable to set clock"

"The display screen will freeze and I have to turn the car off and back on again to unfreeze. Very frustrating if I am using GPS"

"Screen just froze - time stopped - navigation map stopped. Also, speaker microphone for telephone discussion is terrible and they do not seem to fix it"

"nav display stops working and dealer unable to fix"

"I bought the car 1.5 yes ago and it did not respond to the touch on the screen. the dealer replaced it for free."

"Every once in a while the screen for GPS would freeze up, only 2 times in 2 years."

"While using the navigation system, the screen freezes up and I lose my directions. It can freeze at any time but seems more prone to stop working when car dashboard is in the sun and gets hot."

"Display freezes very rarely and only upon restart does it come back. Screen also has become shifted so that trying to press items toward the bottom is impossible"

"nav display freezes and toyota is making it difficult to repair even though it is covered by warranty"

"The touch screen is inaccurate such that I have to touch about an inch below the selection I want to make, and this makes anything on the bottom of the screen entirely untouchable."

"Navigation stops, including clock, miles to go, maps, etc. car must be off for at least an hour before the system works again."

"Display screen and rearview camera were blank. Apparently, the screen is integrated with the radio. Both were replaced by Toyota under warranty"

"Audio, GPS, phone, etc. all tied to the problem. Once the screen shuts off, everything goes off and has to re-boot"

"Bottom half of the display screen stopped responding to touch commands. When reported to Toyota Dealer, they ordered a new screen and replaced it about 3 weeks later. I am happy with the repairs"

"The display screen will at times black out. Happens when I try to select an app i.e. audio, navigation, or phone. Will not respond to touch and I have to turn car off and back on to unfreeze the display."

"Sometimes phone is connected, other times it isn't"

"Although the hands free connection to my smart phone works fine while not driving, the car's Bluetooth disconnects soon after starting to drive. Not sure yet why this is; have contacted Toyota for help"

"If I call via hands free connection, the other person can only hear me clearly if the car is stopped. Background noise while driving muffles phone"

"Classic Apple iPod freezes after playing a few songs when plugged into the audio system because Apple no longer supports the iPod and Toyota followed suit. Thank you Apple for built in obsolescence."

"Same issues described in previous comments"

"The phone apps do not interface well with the car system."

"onscreen interface for sound system no longer registers virtual button presses anywhere near the bottom of the screen. Bluetooth pairing is unreliable."

"The navigation would freeze in the middle of a trip and not restart unless the car was turned off and on again"

"Just happened today for the first time. The navigation system froze and stopped working. Every time I reset it, it freezes again"

"On our most recent trip to San Diego, the clock and navigation systems stopped working two different times. After turning off the car and restarting the engine the clock and navigation system worked for a very short time and then stopped"

"terrible system. talks about freeways, there are non in the NY-NJ area. Part of the time the map hides the only clock. Gives wrong directions. Entune & Toyota customer service can't help. Talks too much. Preferences difficult to find. Font & map"

"See comments on screen freeze"

"navigation freezes up. dealer could not duplicate problem and requested I videotape the problem when it happens. very inconvenient."

"It is not accurate. It often selects a indirect or undesirable route"

"The display for the navigation splits into two halves many times when I'm looking for a certain exit. Don't know if it's a setting, but I tried to stop it with no success. Also, the map doesn't show small streets when away from the main roads. I had to engage the tracker to have some sort of reference."

"Graphics are washed out.Will not populate the map. On those occasions when it works marginally it is still prone to randomly stop and start.. Does not always give accurate information. Very slow, by the time navigation recognizing the street I am long passed it.. I use my iPhone for navigation. Bottom line the GPS is a piece of garbage. With absolutely no dealer help to repair"

"System cuts out and reboots randomly"

"Many incorrect directions and errors in maps; maps not up to date (maps were 9 months out of date when we bought the car and would cost twice the cost of a new GPS unit for an updated map)"

"Freezes during travel"

"Will not accept address. Suggests not best routes"

"The voice activated navigation system is quite flawed. We no longer use it because it does not seem to understand our voice commands"

"nav gps stops working and toyota dealer has not been willing to fix"

"o The touch screen does not work correctly along the bottom edge where many controls are located. Instead of enabling the control operation, a coordinate is selected on the screen."

"SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND WAS A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PURCHASE. IT COSTS $5000 TO REPLACE. TOYOTA SAID 10% OF THESE SYSTEMS FAIL AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE SYSTEM. SINCE GPS DOES NOT WORK THE PHONE PAIRING IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM."

"The screen lost its registration, i.e., where you touched was not recognized correctly. Also, at times I was unable to input detinations."

"display freezes and toyota is giving me a hard time fixing it."

"The gps just would stop working and freeze up. I guess the Toyota tech just re-booted it and updated the maps. Toyota's "Infotainment System" and gps isn't the most intuitive in the industry to begin with. People don't buy them for that; the cars and trucks don't break down - especially the engine and drivetrain. But even the peripherals are the most reliable, e.g.lights, windows, seat controls, etc."

"The issue is the cost to update the maps is very expensive. They want more than $200 for a sd card that would update the maps. I would love to use my in dash nav system but I choose not to because of the cost."

"Nav went bad. Toyota replaced hardware under extended warranty."

"It stops and is useless."

"Not able to receive cell phone messages on the car's system any longer. A few technicians looked at the problem without resolution. Toyota dealership doesn't have any answers yet about this problem"

"Confusing to use. And when on phone, callers report that they do not hear my voice well"

"Recurrent problems with pairing - system required reset multiple times and updates of software from manufacturer. Unexplained loss of pairing multiple times"

"ongoing loss of phone pairing"

"Could not use my phone on bluetooth ordered new part and replaced by dealer."

"The system doesn't connect to my phone right away like it used it did in the beginning. There was a firmware update but the clock disappeared so they had to replace the system. Now it's doing the same thing as before"

"I could hear all callers very well None of the callers could hear me due to static Same thing happen whether incoming or outgoing calls"

"We bought the 2015 Camry in 2016 from one of the sales divisions of a rental agency. The salesperson had no trouble entering all of our smartphones. When I upgraded my phone, The settings screen had become unusable for entering a new phone. The onscreen button had dropped below the bottom of the screen. I have found out that Toyota has a software fix; available only at the dealer. I was told that I would have to leave the vehicle for at least a day. From what the dealer said, there is no urgency to help the vehicle owner fix this problem. Question: Why was't this made available to download, and update, the screen, by bluetooth or usb slot?"

"This is a great car. Probably one of the most reliable on the market."

"the bluetooth sometimes disconnects while on phone calls. the dealer states that toyota favors apple over android, my phone is an android, and there is nothing they can do. the car does not have either android auto or apple carplay. it's annoying."

"The radio would turn on by itself at random times"

"Speakers do not synch, creating echo at times"

"The radio problem centered with the steering wheel electronics - it was just a matter of using the controls to free up the electronics."

"XM radio drops out intermittently. The previous Camry had no such issues."

"I have a premium radio system with multiple speakers, but only 3 of speakers produce sound. None of the sound controls except volume, work. The System is a piece of garbage and Toyota ought to be ashamed"

"dead"

"HORRIBLE-AWEFUL--HARD TO CHANGE STATIONS BY HITTING SCREEN--WILL NOT CHANGE MANY TIMES"

"When you want to change radio stations it does not work."

"See previous comment."

"Stoped working. Also display screen was frozen"

"Touch control does not respond to change channels."

"I have the "premium" JBL system. There are 10 speakers in 8 locations in my car. Sadly, 7 of those speakers are in the front of the car, and 2 of the remaining 3 in the back are tiny. After properly balancing the output (front to back, side to sid"

"It was a matter of just using the steering wheel controls that made operation complete."

"The system either refused to work or would misunderstand my instructions consistently"

"Associated with pairing problems, voice commands often not executed"

"doesn't understand most commands. very frustrating"

"The voice control commands are practically useless. The response that is most frequent is this one: “I’m sorry. Ido not understand...”"

"Does understand what is spoken MOST of the time. Unusable"

"Doesn't recognize voice commands when trying to call a contact ,worst system ever"

"Have to repeat myself to many times"

"After complaining a few times they finally realized it was a faulty microphone"

"The voice command rarely works correctly. I will say things like find golf courses near me. Its response has nothing to do with golf courses"

"Seal around the sunroof came apart requiring that they replace."

"Rattles in the dashboard area"

"1. Intermittent rattle in ceiling headliner. 2. Intermittent groaning noise from front left wheel when making left turns only"

"The center infotainment stack has an awful squeak. I have place a black rubber washer between the right hand side of the center stack and the glove compartment casing to eliminate"

"I can't figure out where the noise is coming from but there is a rattling noise"

"I’ve got a rattle that is very low tone (my wife can’t hear it). It sounds like an engine knock. I have not mentione it while having the car serviced (I forget)"

"Annoying rattles from both side of the dashboard."

"The Camry is a somewhat noisy vehicle. Rattles were the biggest issue, especially on any but the smoothest road. I have taken the vehicle in for warranty work three times to address rattles (different ones each time), usually resulting in the dealer removing interior panels, adding foam, and reinstalling the panels. I had panels worked on in the doors, around the windshield, and the top of the dashboard."

"1) squeaks from various front-end parts assemblies, e.g., fender nuts/bolts 2) squeaking driver lumber system (I understand to be a common problem with Toyota)"

"Rattles in dash that vary with temperature.. sometimes very loud!"

"When I drive over less than smooth surfaces, there are several random areas in the car that have rattles, including the pillar airbag area, and one near the glove compartment. They come and go and appear in different places. My 2001 has no such rattles."

"Heat shield came loose and rattled loudly when windy or travelling at highway speeds. Took several trips to the dealer to find and resolve the problem. Problem fixed under warranty."

"There is a rattle behind the top vent of the AC system, louder when the car vibrates on certain roads. (Also present in my daughter's identical 2015 Camry)."

"Rattling in dash between center and passenger side air vent. Goes from one side to the other. Doesn't do it all the time and didn't make noise when I took it in to the dealer so they didn't do anything. Said to come back when they can hear it."

"Sunroof rails thumping against roof when body torqued"

"Sunroof had a clunk and required to be repaired by the dealer twice to remedy the problem. The 2nd time, they had the car for 2 days to complete the repair"

"When the weather is warm, something in the front end rattles/squeaks when going over small bumps. Dealer not able to reproduce noise"

"I hear a squeaking when backing out of the drive way. When pushing on the rear end there's a squeaking sound. I plan to take it into the dealer next week"

"The dashboard and touch screen rattle and squeak. The dealer has unsuccessfully tried to fix it four times"

"The dash rattled so badly that the dealership removed the dash panel and replaced it. Helped to reduce the noise level considerably.. Apparently this is not an unusual problem since the box for the replacement said "Dash Kit.""

"Rattle in dashboard area. Cannot find the sourece"

"Several rattles in the dash that change depending on season and temperature. This makes it difficult for them to find but it extremely annoying"

"Sometimes there are rattles in the radio area of the dashboard"

"Steels eminating from dash"

"Vibration in dashboard"

"Intermittent squeak in the dashboard area like surfaces are rubbing. Also intermittent mechanical squeak (nothing under the wiperblade) when the wipers on on intermittent. Both problems have been looked at but the squeak is intermittent so hard to diagnose"

"Heat plate under the car came loose and rattled at high speed or on very windy days"

"the dash had arattle"

"Annoying squeaks in the dashboard, difficult/impossible to remedy"

"Rattle in dash since new. Had dealer attempt to fix rattle. Even worse rattle in dash now!"

"The dashboard rattles while driving"

"Clacking rumble at high speed along with loud road noise"

"It sounds like someone left a screwdriver between the headliner and the roof. I've been procrastinating."

"There is a squeak in my dash, mainly when it is cold outside. Very,very irritating."

"Its from the power moonroof. Every time the car goes over something uneven, such as the driveway, speedbump, it makes glass creaking noise. dealer heard it and told me that's the way it is."

"There is a ratte somewhere in the front, just annoying, unknown cause. There are other little rattles, not quite as bad."

"Vehicle is quite noisy on the highway, with something in the undercarriage clanking around in the wind caused by anything over 45 mph. I believe it is a part of the exhaust with no missing screws or other damaged elements visible, so there appears to be no way to stop the noise."

"I'm very disappointed that my Camry has several rattles starting after 6 months. The worst one was between the touch screen and the dashboard since it was very loud and obnoxious. The dealer never could fix it. I ended up squirting teflon spray around the touch screen and that cured it."

"dash squeaks"

"When hitting bump, loud noise from the roof of car. I know, weird. Mechanic is mystified. Have to visit dealer(oh no)"

"My hearing is sharp, and this Camry has had a rattle almost since I bought it. I've never found the cause."

"There is a rattle discernible while driving, but I can't figure out where it is coming from. I don't think it is trim, but it is right forward and sounds like it could be interior."

"Loud rattles coming from sunroof area is totally annoying which only happens when going over a bumpy road(in VT all roads are bumpy)."

"Some unknown as of yet banging when hitting bumps, ride/handling is fine-not shocks...very annoying"

"The car is still very new, but it's not as quiet as I expected"

"so noisy you cannot hear the sound system at avg road speed"

"Wind and road noise is a bit of an issue for the Camry. It would benefit from dampening or insulation. When test driving the equivalent Honda Accord, it was much quieter. The same applied with Lexus (part of the Toyota family of vehicles). For a top-trim Camry, my expectation was for a quieter ride."

"Overall high wind and road noise, more pronounced than my 2012 Camry"

"Wind and road noise so bad you can't talk or hear radio . Will never buy another Toyota ! Rides like a log truck !"

"cant tell if its wind noise or tire noise"

"Wind noise. By Windows or seals rtc"

"At highway speed the cabin is noisy"

"The loose heat plate rattled on very windy days (50-60 Km/hr. winds)"

"Can't hear radio for road and wind noise. Don't know how y'all rate this car like you do. It rides like a Mack truck , road noise is terrible. My lincolin is quite and smooth no problems my two Chevrolet trucks ride quite and smooth no road noise . Can't get service on the Toyota will never buy a Toyota product again!!!"

"Noise becomes elevated above 44 mph, and gets very annoying. Dealership checked out multiple times, acknowledges there is a problem, but could never find a fix. Also checked for any maintenance bulletins, but found none. I had let them know that in your auto surveys, you list noise as a factor for this model year. Although I tried to get you to give me more information multiple times, but you would never respond with anything useful or material."

"Road and wind noise on rough streets, on smooth interstates no problem"

"The wind noise is very noticeable especially on long trips trying to converse with someone in the back seat. Very nice riding car but on short test drives this issue is hard to detect but very annoying."

"The doors/windows aren't as tight, and there is a bit of wind noise from them."

"See previous answer"

"My previous 07 Camry was a V6, this 4 cyl is very noisy on the highway... combination of wind and engine noise. My 07, even at over 10 years old was far quieter. Both are LE models"

"The noise seems to be wind/aeronautical in nature, and gets bad above 40 mph. Gets even worse above 60 mph. Taken it to dealership to check out 3 times. They've driven with me and heard it. Still cannot identify what it is or how to fix it."

"Wind noise is recent, and not major, but is there."

"left front panel--clip to next panel broke after one year-not covered by warrantee according to dealer"

"There are now two different locations where the lower body panels have pulled away. The connectors have torn through the cheap plastic that the panels are made of and cannot be repaired without complete replacement. This is very expensive (approximately $300-$400 in each location). This would all be out of pocket so I have not had them repaired but they look awful and I believe it is a design flaw that has caused this to happen. No assistance offered from Toyota"

"molding going black to grey - some rust on the chrome. Also "plastic" headlights impos. to clean"

"The front side panel came loose near the wheel well. The place where the pin holds it cracked (plastic) so it can't be repaired. I would have to replace the entire panel. Dealer maintenance says this is common."

"plastic snap on connectors have been a continual source of failure. Replaced numerous times. They come loose, or pop out entirely; and replacements are not always easy to find or reasonably priced. Problem confined to front panels in front for the front wheel wells."

"all toyotas of this year have front hubcaps fall off. I find ones in the street to replace mine."

"The Driver's site seat panel came loose by the door."

"Paint is very thin on hood & chips off very easy"

"I was power washing the vehicle which I have done before and the paint on the vinyl door molding peeled off."

"small circular paint blemishes that are starting to corrode"

"Hood has several chips, possibly from rocks or debris. Seller had painted over the bare spots and it peeled off. Not a major problem but a small annoyance"

"Oxidation of black trim around radio/entertainment screen in dashboard"

"It was so bad that had a recall"

"Failing paint - peeling. I have been notified by Toyota that there is a recall over the paint failure and I'll be notified when to bring it in for fixing."

"steering wheel started to fade /chip late in the 2nd yr.Molding around window loose and fading.rear camera - loose. Radio should have been better for the $."

"Black finish coat extremely fragile and subject to scratches and road debris (small rocks, etc) which reveal white undercoat and are almost impossible to repair unless done professionally. Very disappointed in paint job."

"All kinds of paint chipping on the hood. Had th3 same issue with my 2003 Toyota Highlander"

"Front and BSC bumpers have chipped."

"Paint peeling on grell"

"There was some peeling near the trunk cover when I bought it. Dealer was supposed to call me with an appointment to have it painted. Never did call and the problem has gotten worse the past few weeks. Looks like I'll have to contact them."

"There were rust spots along the spot welds along the gutter where the trunk lid sits.the"

"Trim on the trunk lid was rubbing. Rubbed through the paint causing it to rust"

"I found some rust on the trunk of my car and as had a rust protection plan, took it to the dealer. The dealer stated that the rust was due to the paint being chipped and therefore was not covered by the warrantee. However to show "good intent" they fixed the rust problem. I have quite a bit of experience with rust due to my career and I can assure anyone that this was rust that was formed under the paint and not due to the paint being chipped"
