This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.

CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.

Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.

Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal” amount of oil.

The visor on my wife's car will not stay up. It falls down in your sight of vision when you are driving. Not only is it inconvenient but a driving hazard. A few years back I received a notice from Toyota that they were replacing visors in Camrys from 2007 to 2011 models due to this condition. In contacting my dealer, they said that the warranty had expired so they would no longer replace it. So, I called Toyota direct. They have this wonderful advertisement when you're waiting for an operator at how much they care about their owners and how they try to make all our experiences good Memorable ones. Then a customer service representative came on line. I explained the problem and how it was detrimental to my wife's vision while she was driving and how it falls into my wife's vision when she is driving. After being put on hold while she checked it out , she returned and stated that it is not covered. She stated that Toyota was aware of the manufacturers problem but only covered it for 10 years. They must think or they hope that people wont keep their cars that long and find it to no longer be their problem after 10 years even if they were aware of the problem. Well. It's too bad for Toyota because I was just going to get my grandson a car, Toyota. No longer will that happen. Like every other company , they really could care less about people or their safety. They spend a lot of money convincing people to buy their cars. The ONLY thing they truly care about is their stockholders and their bottom line. Service in this country is gone. Tell all that want to listen not to buy a Toyota product. I remember when 'the customer was always right'. Not any more. I will NEVER buy another Toyota.

My passenger side Sunvisor failed 3 TIMES!!! Now it's the 3rd flopping down, I've rigged it up as best as possible with a Green Bungee cord. I've paid between $150.00 to $170.00 for new visors, has they never redesigned the defect, so the plastic insert the slides over the metal post cracks, and free falls flopping freely , hitting the driver in the nose. I refuse to pay again, and will tie it up with cord. The new visor only warranty's for 12 months. The visor with normal use,up and down will fail right after a year, so paying in full is expected. I hate Toyota, so far I replace passenger Visor 1 time, as I don't have passengers, seldom. Drivers side 3 times, and Now I'm suffering a hazardous driving with a flopping down Visor , driver side. I've called Toyota, they say nothing. Another horrific issue is the melting, sticky , glue like gooey , shiny surface. Bugs have melted deep within the surface, lots of disgusting dead bugs, and glare on my window, but that's another awful issue. Never, will I buy another toyota, my next car soon to purchase will be a Hyundai. TOYOTA= BAD, safety nuisance defects they lie, and give the run around , swindled by Toyota too many times.

FIRST flopping visor was my Drivers Side early on. The Dealer was able to cover under warranty, I learned just now today 11/9/17 from the dealer they were fully aware and only had a internal extended bad visor warranty thru 2014, and nothing more after the deadline. . , however they have no record of replacing the first one. . Next spontaneous Broken Visor was Passenger side, My passenger had to suffer over 700 miles on a trip, with this damn flopping Visor nearly taking off her nose. She had to hold it with her hand to keep out of her face. I paid around $150.00 for repair this last June 2017. So my Drivers Side has flopped again a few days ago. This is very dangerous, obstructing my view, especially at night, visor freely flopping and hitting my face. . This is the third time, at a VERY unreasonable high cost for the part and labor to install. Clearly a Mfg. DEFECT. Should never happened and never had with any other many vehicles I owned since my teens. This is costly, just dropped $150.00 in June, now have to pay again for my drivers side. Then next year it will fail due to horrible design. I will NEVER buy A Camry or Toyota, was thinking of a new car mine is ten years +, but will have to pass on Toyota. The high cost nuisance recurring bad, dangerous product is abusive to customers. The damage to Toyotas reputation not accepting accountability is bad business.

I actually had to pay to have it fixed and less than a year later it is broken again. It is rare that someone even uses the visor (on passenger side) since I am usually alone.

The visor was never right from the get go.. you could hardly pull it down. Eventually it just snapped. Now I have an extremely pointy piece up there and God forbid I ever have to slam on brakes or my passenger my wind up with out an eye.

SINCE I brought the 2007 Camry SE this sun visor has cost me a lot of money.The Dealer said on the first one that they had a new one that had been redesigned with better parts. Nordictrack ifit card hack. I was happy as a Toyota owner that they were on top of it. Then another went out and I payed the price. Then it happened again. I asked the dealer about this and they said that there was only a 5 year recall, but didn't bother to tell me about it.

Now I'm retired and on a fixed income and my diver side visor broke and I don't have the money to fix it. It should had been a life time warranty on this sun visor.The government has let the dealers and manufacturers an easy path to generate a lot of nickel and dime parts, that add up to a lot off money for somebody,but the car buyer. This will be my 4th one since 2007, but I got to save up my money. In Nevada where it is sunshine a lot, you need this sunshade. I think this is a safety issue, because you can be blinded by the bright sun.

Camry XLE 4

• Automatic transmission
• 80,000 miles

I had this replaced 2-3 years after I bought the car in 2010 & it cost $135. Don't know if the previous owner had had it replaced before that. Then 6 months later, I received a recall notice on it. So I called the Service Shop. He told me next time I came in, he would fill out a report & Toyota would reimburse me which they did.

Then about 2 years later, same thing happened. I called Toyota & they wanted another $135 & there was no reimbursement this time. I luckily found a local car repair business to fix it for $70.39 (cost of the part from Toyota) - no tax, no labor. But I am going to try to get in touch with Toyota to complain & even get that back because the sun visor should not be that defective that it has to be replaced every 2-3 years under normal use.

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE. My sun visor just failed down having a hard time keeping it up. I bought Velcro to help keep it up. I hardly drive my car; I don't understand how the sun visor just falls down.

Had to have a new sun visor put in three different times by dealer who says was only covered once..when under warranty. Had to fix myself as i can't see to drive w/sun in my eyes. Hate the visor breaking. NO Other CAR of mine has done this. Not Toyota style. NOT MY FAULT..should never have to have paid once, let alone twice. AND now, they put in a too small one I'm afraid to use..for when it breaks again.

About a year ago, the driver side sun visor stopped staying in the position I'd placed it. It felt like the plastic part inside the visor that connected to the arm from the interior roof was separated and cracked. As it was making it difficult to see, I removed it and replaced it with a part I got from the dealer for about $40.

Late last month, the sun visor on the passenger side began doing the same thing. That tells me that this is a terrible design and it seems ridiculous that I should be replacing BOTH sun visors!

Not good, Toyota, not good!

The Toyota Camry is one of America’s best-selling vehicles because it's so darned reliable. Most of the time, it works great. The rest of the time, here's what tends to go wrong.

Note: The list of problems below is organized by vehicle generation. Scroll down to find your model range.

2017-Present Camry - Common Problems

Good news: there's nothing to report so far! Be sure to check back once in a while because we update the information on this page regularly.

2012-2016 Camry - Common Problems

Musty Smell Coming from the AC/Heat Vents: An overpowering moldy smell coming from the vents is not Camry specific and can occur in any vehicle. This problem occurs because people leave their A/C systems on when they turn off their cars. If the A/C system isn't turned off and allowed to dry out for a couple of minutes before the car is parked, condensation can build up inside the A/C system, which leads to mold.

You can learn how to fix this problem here, as well as how to prevent it.

Torque Converter Failure: When the RPMs go down and the Camry starts shuddering while the transmission changes gears, the torque converter has failed. Toyota responded to this widespread problem by issuing a Limited Service Campaign where they’ll either update the Engine Control software or replace the torque converter at no charge until October 31, 2017.

2007-2011 Camry - Common Problems

Excessive Oil Consumption (aka 'Burning Oil'): This issue is a result of poorly designed piston rings. Oil can leak past these piston rings at sometimes high rates, and that can lead to engine failure if oil levels aren't monitored closely. While you can fix this problem by replacing the piston rings, it's cheaper and easier to keep a close eye on oil levels. Checking your oil weekly is the best solution here.

Transmission Slippage (2010 and 2011 models): Symptoms include jerking, hard shifting, refusal to go into reverse, and hesitation to accelerate. A lot of Camry owners solve this problem by having their transmission rebuilt or replaced. A good way to prevent this from happening is to give your transmission some TLC by making sure that it has adequate fluid at all time and allowing your Camry enough time to warm up in cold weather.

Melting Dashboard: The main symptom is a sticky dashboard, which can create a dangerous glare from the sun. In January 2015, Toyota agreed to extend dashboard warranty coverage for melted dashboards. The extended warranty lasted until May 31, 2017, but you can still call Toyota at 800-331-4331 to see if they’ll replace your dashboard free of charge.

2002-2006 Camry - Common Problems

Deteriorating Rear Speaker Covers: In most cases, the plastic Toyota used to manufacture the rear speaker covers eventually cracks or crumbles after prolonged exposure to the sun. The best thing to do is replace the speaker covers as soon as possible (Part No. 55472-AA010-B0 and Part No. 55473-AA010-E0).

2007 Toyota Camry Sun Visor Driver Side Recall Parts

Leaking Head Gasket: This generation of Camry sometimes has problems with a bad head gasket design that causes serious oil leakage. Symptoms include smoke coming out from under the hood, dirty coolant, white smoke coming out of the tailpipe (even after the car has warmed up), and of course engine failure. The best thing to do is periodically check your oil and inspect your coolant. If your oil begins to look milky or muddy, or if your coolant looks unusually dark, get your car to a repair shop ASAP.

Hard Shifting: Many ’02-‘06 Camry owners report experiencing the transmission jerking while shifting gears (even when accelerating). Reflashing the ECU may fix the problem. If it doesn’t, the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced (if the issue gets bad enough).

1997-2001 Camry - Common Problems

Engine Seizing Due To Oil Consumption: Fundamentally, the issue here is a piston ring design that lets oil sneak past and get consumed. Oil consumption is only a minor problem, however, unless you forget to periodically check your engine oil levels. Since many vehicle owners never check their oil levels, oil consumption can lead to engine failure.

The easy solution: if you own a Camry made between 1997 and 2001, check the oil frequently and add oil as needed. An engine rebuild is an option too, only that can be expensive.

Peeling Paint: Of course, this generation is older, so peeling paint may be expected. However, this problem is so prevalent that some wonder if Toyota had a paint quality problem on these cars. Repainting your car is one option, and spraying your car with Plasti-Dip is another..Plasti-dip is a DIY product you can use to give your car a unique look. If your hood is peeling, it might be worth trying out some Plasti-Dip instead of paying for a paint job.

Oxygen Sensor Failures: A failed oxygen sensor means your engine isn't getting the right air/fuel mixture. The engine surging periodically is a good sign that your oxygen sensor needs to be replaced. Oxygen sensors are more prone to failure on this generation of Camry.
