What Owners Say

"After bout 9-10 months, my blind spot monitors stopped working. I have not tried to get them fixed because I just expect it to be more of a hassle than it is worth to get it fixed"

Darren W., MA (2016 Toyota Camry SE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

"In bright sunlight The Back-up Camera view is sometimes hard to see. Screen should be recessed more"

In-dash navigation system (GPS)

"Voice recognition for navigation will not understand address input when selection a destination"

Anonymous, WI (2016 Toyota Camry XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

"The GPS blacked out in the midst of using it to drive to a specific destination"

Anonymous, NS (2016 Toyota Camry XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

"Clumsy to use. To turn off the GPS: select a destination. Then on another screen, delete it. As a safety feature our home address is not accurate. When we don't go thru the turn-off sequence above and the GPS starts up when the car is started. The GPS constantly tries to guide the car back to home. This isn't a problem for us, but family members who borrow the car can be driven crazy by the constant verbal commands to return home. The whole system is needlessly cumbersome. A further ann"

Body Integrity

What Owners Say

Squeaks or rattles

"The dash would squeak in cold weather when going over bumps. The dealer fixed it under warranty by inserting a piece of "felt" material in between the dash and the windshield and the fix is not visible"

David C., FL (2016 Toyota Camry LE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

"The artificial wood trim above the glove box occasionally makes noises. I guess it's not attached firmly. I was told by the dealer that it's attached with adhesive, and that fixing this would require disassembling the entire front panel, and even then there was no guarantee that this could be corrected. As I consider this only a minor annoyance, I don't intend to do anything about it"

Anonymous, WI (2016 Toyota Camry XLE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

"When it is cold out -26 C for example the heater will not heat up the floor area properly and it is not comfortable inside the car, I have taken it to the dealer they checked it and said it met standards, called Toyota canada and told both I was not satisfied with the heat. No cure has been found"

Antilock system (ABS)
