Camry

  • 94,000 miles
This car has required 6 sets of tires in less than 90,0000 miles. The driver's side window will roll down when pressing the button to roll it up. This has been going on since the first oil change. The air conditioner occasionally switches itself from recycled to fresh air while driving for unknown reasons. Sensor in passenger seat malfunctions causing random alarm about seatbelt when no one is seated there. The dashboard became sticky to the touch, and cloth would stick to it when attempting to wipe it clean. The dashboard then developed several deep cracks, running erratically ly from front to back. In places around trim pieces, dashboard plastic has flaked away. Plastic on the top of the console's lid has chipped and flaked away, and cracks have developed around it. Paint on trim of console has bubbled up and ruined the finish in console drink holder lid. The cd player malfunctioned, with a disc read error reported, though no disc was inside the player, requiring replacement of system. The aux audio port failed after only a year of regular use. The floor mats had to be removed due to the acceleration recall and the service department at dealership wanted to provide recall service limited to securing these with a zip tie. Carpeting became stained and filthy, and could not be effectively cleaned, so carpeting had to be replaced by owner. Recall notices received from Toyota by the owner have been expressly limited to weight capacity rating sticker, although this was Toyota financed vehicle and owner's address remains unchanged. Otherwise, all recall notices received by registered owner, have been limited to those reported by NHTSA following owner's registration at website. Local dealership has routinely been uncooperative, dismissive, or contentious when warranty service requests were made. Dealership offers only reasons to deny warranty repairs or replacements.

Camry 4-cyl

  • 34,000 miles
I bought a brand new 2010 Camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four Michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. The tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. Each company from which I have purchased new Michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this Camry said this is highly unusual. They stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. They have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly. Moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. The ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving. Also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. The service manager at robbin's Toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. Finally, I cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. I've used the oem filter cap wrench, but I am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. This was the first Toyota I've owned, and it will be the last.

Camry

  • miles
I purchased a Camry in January 2010, and 2 years later I need new tires. Now they tell me that this could be normal, but I have previously purchased 2 other new cars and have never had to buy tires. The outside tread of my tire is completely bald. I regularly rotate my tires and get the needed maintenance. I have had problems with my car pulling to one side when driving but was told nothing was wrong with it by a Toyota dealership service department. I have filed a complaint with Toyota and they seem not to care about my situation. I believe there is a defect because a worker at the dealership stated that this happens to many of the Camry's that he has seen.

Camry 4-cyl

  • miles
Bought 2010 Toyota Camry new. With less than 5000 miles on odometer took back to local dealer complaining about vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds. Car now has 20,000 miles, and after third visit to local dealer service department all they say is bad tires and Toyota does not warrant tires. Filed complaint with Toyota and company says same thing.
