    WHen I bought my Camry in 2019, I was told there would be an android interface within 3 months...Total Lie! The car is suppose to be compatible with android auto, today I find that it is not. Now they have discontinued the old connection, EnTune, etc. leaving me now with 0 connectivity. Yes, this is a deal breaker, I'm DONE with Toyota.

    I needed to replace my car and due to inventory, the quickest option was a 2024 Camry Hybrid with all the bells and whistles. I was psyched as I continued to read and see previews online. The car arrived and it looks great. Here is where the fun starts. All this bells and whistles cost money. Let me explain, Navigation has a 10 month free trial, for $3.95 a month after trial. Same thing with remote start, car finder, etc. Really after purchasing the car the vehicle comes only with Android/Google Play installed. When did consumers become such suckers that we find this to be ok. The car itself has less interior space than my previous 2 Hyundai Sonata Hybrids. The interior feel of the Camry feel was below the Hyundai, almost feels cheap. Did I mention that I can dent the doors with my bare hands. I am sorry, I understand Toyota has a great resale but the product feels extremely inferior. I regret getting this car and it has only been 1 month.

    My son with autism, who is diligent with all recalls on his 2007 Toyota hybrid Camry did not receive a notification from Toyota about a change in warranty added which expired in 2016 which was to repair a potential failure in the brake system. Unfortunately in October 2022 he had a very serious failure of the braking system and was not injured and no one else was injured. I took this car into Gerald Toyota of Matteson. Illinois. Upon receiving a quote of 5569.75 plus the dealership telling me that we needed to replace tires that are brand new, new brakes and pads because they will need replacing soon as they are 3+ mm, I looked on the internet for information about the repair needed. It turned out that this car was prone to this very thing happening and Toyota honored repair of this until 2016. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER OR RECALL.

    We had documentation as well as Toyota for getting every recall repaired on this car but this one slipped through the cracks, for a reason I cannot tell you. When I asked toyota corporate if they stood by their vehicles, they said they did but in this case only until 2016. So, I am upset. My son's car is in perfect shape. Low mileage. It is a horrible shame that I have to pay 5500 dollars to fix a problem that they knew was sooner or later going to affect this vehicle. I am counting my blessings that no one was killed over this defective part. I just truly believe if they knew this was a problem, that they should have made sure everyone knew and received this information. My true belief is that this is about money and that is why a more concerned effort was not put into place to notify every person who owned this make and model of car which could have had this potentially life-threatening issue.

    Apparently, even the customers who got letters were mislead into believing there were just some vehicles involved. Then they gave a window of time. Then they extended that window. Short story long, my vehicle IS 14 years old, but it only has 95,000 miles on it. My son is using it now, but the shiny surface creates a glare on the windshield, which is a danger to pedestrians. The federal government needs to go back to Toyota and tell them that manufacturers in the United States have an obligation to consumers. This consumer has purchased 8 or 9 new Toyota vehicles. The one I now own is the last. I don't honor companies who don't honor their consumers.

    Bought a car from Bosak in Indiana. Wanted to trade the car in for a different style. They offered 20000 less than I paid. (400 miles on it.) Tried to talk to them about this. Told me that was it. I will never buy a Toyota again. I plan on letting everyone that I know the same. My guess is cars are selling, They just don't care. Should of bought American.

    My experience with the 2016 Toyota Camry has been wonderful. The engine is very strong and the car's overall reliability is unmatched compared with other brands. The car is approximately 6 years old and over 51 k miles while it still drives like day 1 since I've had it. It is made bulletproof in my opinion with really low maintenance cost. I have only done regular maintenance of the vehicle since I bought it and it has been solid for over 6 years. I look forward to driving it for many more years to come. I would definitely recommend buying this vehicle to everyone.

    In 2020 I have stopped for a snack in Northern Quebec Rest Area. Afterwards lock the keys in the trunk by mistake. A minute later the whole car lock itself. CAA was able to open the car but not the trunk. Toyota Roadside Assistance has sent a tow truck with instructions to call locksmith to open the trunk. Failing getting a locksmith to tow the car to Toyota Dealership in Val-d’Or. Being Sunday no locksmith was available and I had to wait in the car until Monday for the car technician to open the door. By that time I was without food and water and use of the rental car for approximately 24 hrs. Afterwards presented with an invoice for 3 hrs. labour. Other car manufacturers have the alarm set not to lock the car when keys are in it. Toyota has the same option but decided to alarm and lock the car and call that normal operation.

    I purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry many years ago. There is a defect with the dashboards that cause them to melt and get sticky. There are many articles online about this. The issue causes glare both in the evening when other vehicle lights shine and during the day when sunlight hits the dashboard. I was not notified about the recall and was told this was not covered by the extended warranty that expired two years ago. (They did not list the issue as a recall but as something to be repaired under the extended warranty.) Toyota on their commercials boasts about Safety. This is a real safety issue and Toyota covers themselves by putting under an extended warranty. There should a class action lawsuit or attorney generals investigating this and changing the laws on this matter. I would never buy a Toyota again.

    Purchased new 2021 Camry XSE in late December 2020. I ran my new car through our local car wash and was very surprised when all of the front collision sensors starting alarming visually with audible alarms. On my next visit to the car wash I disabled all of the collision safety features, but once again all of the front collision sensors alarmed when the car was in neutral, still running and being pushed through the car wash. I contacted the dealer service department, but they had no idea how to disable the front collision sensors so that they would not alarm with the transmission in neutral and being run through the car wash. I even called Toyota Customer Service several times on the last few months, but no one at Toyota has taken responsibility to issue a software update to fix this problem. This is very poor customer support and not what I expected from Toyota.

    I have owned my 2020 Camry for about a year and the Remote Start has barely worked. Finally got it fixed today (supposedly) after taking it to the dealer 3 times before. My remote connect trial expires next week and after calling customer service they were only willing to extend it for 6 months. This is unacceptable given my troubles and experience with it these past 12 months. I will never buy another Toyota vehicle again after realizing they won’t stand behind their products!

    I purchased a new 2019 Toyota Camry LE and I noticed that the steering wheel’s seam was rough. This appears to be a manufacturing defect because I have owned several Toyota vehicles over the years, but none of them had this issue. It is as though the seam was never buffed down, so there is a rough edge. When I took the car in to the dealership for its 5,000 mile service recently, I told the service department about the issue. They checked it out and told me that they compared the steering wheel with another Camry, and it had the exact same feel with the seam, so it was not a defect and they could not do anything about it. If two Camrys have the same issue, this indicates that it is a manufacturing defect and should be corrected. It is a minor issue, but annoying.

    Toyota claims to provide a very high quality product. IMO, that should include quality of service. For example, Honda promised they would replace my key and give a new key in two hours and they did it in 90 minutes. Let us take Toyota. My Camry showed tire pressure light. I had taken it to Toyota Sunnyvale dealership. They said tire may have a nail and it would take one or two hours. I have waited for 2 hours at their dealership. There was no call. So I have called them after two hours. They said it would take another hour. Waited for an hour. Still there is no call. I have walked to the service area. Paper work was waiting at the service desk.

    When I told them I have been waiting for 3 hours, then they started working on removing the nail and they told me it would take 45 minutes. So I have waited in the service area for another hour (it is already close to 4 hours). Then I walked to the service area (and I had a knee surgery recently, I didn't have lunch). Then they brought the vehicle. So much difference in quality of service between Honda and Toyota. I have never experienced such an inconsiderate company or dealership. Really bad quality of service on Toyota part. They should learn from Honda dealerships (I am not saying learn from Mercedes or BMW or high end cars).

    I use my left foot to accelerate, and the right to brake. The e-brake location is typically located to the far left. It instead is located near and above the brake pedal making it tricky to use quickly in an emergency situation. You end up using the wrong pedal to stop.... Usually you crash while fumbling to find the correct pedal. Move the e-brake pedal to the far left as with other passenger cars in North America.

    Nearly two years ago I bought a 2019 Toyota Camry SE right off the lot. For the first few months I adored the car, but after I hit around the 2k mile mark, the Camry's throttle response became glaringly dangerous. Upon slowing down and then trying to get back up to speed, the Camry's throttle response is severely lagging which causes a strong buck of the car- it literally lunges forward, even with the slightest tap of the gas pedal. I’ve taken the vehicle to multiple dealerships to see if there’s a problem and every time their response is “your car is fine, and it’s acting within normal Toyota specs”.

    After receiving very little help from dealerships, I decided to contact Toyota corporate. I filed a claim with the company but they kept making my claim into something it wasn’t, and they kept trying to twist the reason for the claim. Finally, I just decided to pull the claim. Driving this Camry is dangerous as it’s very hard to predict when the transmission and throttle will decide to act up. Sadly due to my finances in this Covid pandemic, I’m stuck with a car that’s only objective seems to be to kill me.

    I have had three Toyotas previous to buying a 2012 Camry. My 2002 Camry was also gold colored, but a world apart. My first bad impression was that the turning radius was much longer than my 2002. Then the 2012 trunk hood fell and hit me in the head on the 4th day after purchase. I suppose the drivetrain and motor are as good, but there have been at least half a dozen disappointments. My next car will be a Tesla.

    Bought a brand new 2019 XSE Camry. Love the car. Love the customer service. But we have a heating issue. Anything lower than minus 15 we find when the car comes to a idle at a stop sign it blows icy cold air through the defrost. So we took it back to the dealership only to find out after MANY tests... sent back and forth to the engineers at Toyota Canada that it failed paying the thermostat wasn't not working. They replaced the thermostat. We picked it up and lo and behold first stop sign it blew cold again.

    After many more days at the dealership we are told that Toyota Canada engineers are ok with this problem and there's not much more at this time they can do to fix it... but was also told that toyota is opening a research into the problem as they are aware that lots of the 4 cyl Camry's are having this issue. So until they decide to or not to something about the issue we can only hope not to have any more cold weather cause you literally freeze inside the car!

    I have never written a review of a car before but I can no longer be silent about my 2019 Toyota Camry LE. Before I begin, I would like to give you some background about my life with the Toyota Camry. I have purchased or leased over a dozen Camrys since 1985. Some of them were for my wife and son. 90% of them were secured through the same dealership. Over the years I have been very satisfied with this remarkable, low-maintenance, well-designed car. But no more.

    I relied on all my previous Camry experiences and leased my 2019 without thoroughly testing it. After I drove it for several days I developed some major concerns. I looked into returning or exchanging the car but I was informed that is not possible with a lease. On the positive side, the car is the best handling and riding of ALL the Camrys I have driven. The sound system is also the best. The trim is excellent. It is very well built and with excellent safety features. But... The engine and transmission combination is an abomination. The throttle and shifting response is so unpredictable and erratic that it is borderline dangerous to drive. Trying to anticipate how the car will respond is certainly not an enjoyable driving experience. I had to alter the way I drive. I now dread driving it.

    With almost every press of the accelerator there is a perceptible delay in engine response. Sometimes the delay is so severe it feels as if the engine choked. The car constantly tries to prematurely shift to a higher gear, resulting in uneven acceleration and jerking. It is not a smooth shift. As if those issues weren't enough, excessive engine noise makes it the noisiest Camry I ever driven. When accelerating hard such as when entering a freeway, the engine sounds underpowered and the exhaust sounds like a sports car.

    I contacted Toyota to see if there were any technical bulletins that address these issues. They said they would have the dealer contact me. The dealer didn't. I called the dealer. They didn't respond until I persisted. Finally they said bring it in and they will check it out. The service writer said it was performing normally within Toyota spec. I even asked them to check for an exhaust leak thinking there is no way that sound could be normal for a Camry. Again, they said it is normal. They made me feel as if I were being unreasonable. I can assure you, with my 35 years experience driving twelve Toyota Camrys and other cars, I am not. Hundreds of other Camry drivers feel the same way. Just check the internet comments.

    Also, I told the service writer that the driver side window whistled as if it wasn't fully closed or the seal was compromised. They would not fix it. It still whistles. With little to no response from either Toyota Corporate or the dealer, I get the feeling Toyota is counting on all us complaining Camry drivers to just shrug our shoulders and go away. For me, I have better things to do than deal with a bloated corporate giant that doesn't care about tarnishing the image of an automobile Industry icon like the Camry. Nor do they care about long-term loyal Camry owners. So when my lease is over, which can't be none too soon, I will be walking straight into Honda's showroom. I never thought I would ever consider switching teams but the time is right. Too bad Toyota.
