Previous models also scored well in safety ratings. For instance, the 2019 Camry earned a 5-star overall safety after getting perfect scores for all the safety categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Camry can have a service life of up to 200,000 to 300,000 miles. With proper care and maintenance, it can last up to 15 to 20 years.

They both top the list in terms of quality, value, popularity, and, above all, reliability. RepairPal rated the Accord 4.5 out of 5&mdash;while the Camry, as discussed, received a 4.0 rating.

However, just like any other sedan, it isn&rsquo;t uncommon for it to develop issues as it gets older. Let&rsquo;s take a look at some of the most common problems that Toyota Camry owners have encountered through the years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AC and Heater Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several owners of the 2012, 2013, and 2014 Camry reported smelling something musty coming from their AC vents. In fact, a class action lawsuit was filed alleging that 2012 Camrys have faulty air conditioning systems that cause mold growth. Most complainants had their vehicle&rsquo;s AC serviced in an attempt to solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2012 Toyota Camry Blower Motor Troubleshooting\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/20rhWbrQusE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Camry owners also complained that their AC compressor stopped working or that their AC heater stopped blowing air. Luckily, these issues can be fixed by replacing the faulty component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Torque Converter Failure&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Torque converter failure is the most common problem involving the 2014 Toyota Camry. Owners of the affected vehicles said they experienced symptoms at around 69,350 miles. Some reported that their sedan suddenly shudders at very low or high speeds. Thankfully, this issue can be solved by getting a torque converter replacement or, in some cases, the transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2010-2017 Toyota Camry 2.5L transmission replacement\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BvOZC6T_Klw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Door Lock Malfunction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Toyota Camry 2011 problems involve the model&rsquo;s interior accessories. Some Camry owners complained that their door locks malfunctioned at around 85,000 miles. A door lock actuator replacement is usually the solution to this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from door lock failure, there were also several complaints involving other interior parts and accessories. Some owners complained of sticky or melting dashboards and a defective sun visor. Fortunately, all these issues can be addressed by replacing the faulty components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Door Locks Not Locking\/Unlocking - Toyota Camry\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9UdIPEioynY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rear Window Damage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, some owners of the 2010 Camry reported problems with their rear window. Most complainants said that their rear window shattered. Based on the data from the reports, this usually happens at around 47,750 miles. The average repair cost for this issue is around $480, which includes both the replacement and labor costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessive Oil Consumption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This problem seems common across several model years, and it is most prevalent on the 2007-2009 models. In fact, excessive fuel consumption is on the top list of the 2007 Toyota Camry problems&mdash;making this year one of the worst for the Camry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive fuel consumption is one of the top 2009 Toyota Camry problems registered in CarComplaints.com, which recorded at least 219 complaints regarding the issue. The solution varies depending on what caused the problem. Common fixes include replacing a faulty engine block oil pistons, and\/or piston rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Excessive Oil Consumption\/Oil Consumption Test On 2007 Toyota Camry 2.4 , 4 Cylinder Engine\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zBqxcQA_pJk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyota released a technical service bulletin (TSB) in 2011 to acknowledge that some Camry models were indeed consuming excessive oil, specifically those released between 2006 and 2011. Aside from replacing faulty engine components, this issue can also be addressed by rebuilding the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transmission Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like most vehicles out on the market today, the Camry isn&rsquo;t spared from transmission-related problems. Some of the issues reported Include transmission slipping, gear shifting issues, and delayed engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These transmission problems may vary per model year. For instance, Toyota Camry gear shift problems for the 2002 model were only a few. Meanwhile, hesitation when accelerating is on the top list of the 2003 Toyota Camry problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These issues are not exclusive to Toyota Camrys. They also affect other Toyota models and vehicles. If you&rsquo;re in the market for a Camry, know that there&rsquo;s little risk to buying one as long as you&rsquo;re aware of the potential problems that it may have or develop.
