2012 Camry: No exhaust manifold cover
Just got a 2012 Camry and the engine has no exhaust manifold cover. In fact, none of them at the dealership had covers. The first explanation given by a salesman was that Toyota stopped using the covers because they rattled over time. This I didn't buy so I asked one of the head mechanics. He said they originally had covers but the new up-stream O2 sensor was longer than the original ... Read More

Hi I have a 2009 Camry and had a hard time pairing my Palm Centro, but I finally researched online and found a trick that worked. It works now, but now I am contemplating getting a new phone.

Re: 5th vs 7th gen Camry [rocketdan1]
2. I read mpg is now 4 mpg more vs gen 5 overall, which at $3.6 per gallon gas, would be approx. $2,300 for 100,000 miles. Pretty significant. 3. The engine was a 2.4L up through 2009. In 2010, it went to a completely different 2.5L. I have driven both A LOT- the 2.5L is much better. For the 2012, they made minor changes to get a bit better mpg. But ... Read More

Re: 2009 toyota camry [slanwar]
Part of the calculation of your lease payment included a pre-determined residual amount for the car. It should be right on the first page of your lease paperwork. That is the rule that Toyota will follow. Whatever is in your contract. Edmunds opinion won't make any difference. Most of the time, when you get a really low lease payment, the residual amount is unattractive. regards, kyfdx

Re: 2009 Camry Suspension Problems [skybucket]
Like my previous post on my 07 Camry. Struts are DEFECTIVE. After i settled with Toyota. I had replaced my 2 front struts by myself with help from a mechanic friend, and it's not leaking anymore. I wonder why Toyota is telling the dealer that it's normal for a strut to leak. It's not NORMAL especially if it's causing premature tire wear. Who knows..............

Re: 2009 Camry Suspension Problems [pissoffcamown]
My 2007 XLE Camary needed all four struts replaced. They started leaking at about 36,000 miles. I also had to replace a external oil hose. Toyota said that leaking struts are "normal" and that the leaking external oil hose was a "fairly common problem." I wish they would have told me that before I bought the car. My next car will be a Ford Fusion. I plan to purchase one early ... Read More

Re: Oil burning update [ledzepplin]
Did you have oil leak? Where was it coming from? Nowdays almost every car owner goes through the recalls.

So issuing a recall Toyota shows that it wants to take care about an issue at no cost, ... Read More

Re: Midsize car for highway driving [andyfromva]
I have owned a 2009 Camry Hybrid, I now own a 2010 Fusion Sport. The Ford is much quieter overall than the Camry could possibly be. On the highway, the road and wind noise is a whisper compared to how the Camry was, and this is even with the 18" low profile tires on the Fusion. Between the two, the fusion does not have a long enough track record, but so ... Read More

Re: If You Had To Buy A Mid-Size Tomorrow, What Would You Buy??? [deltheking]
well first off, I disagree completely with you about the altima, as you probably would have known from my ranks ;) the reason being is this, Nissan is not a overrated company, if anything in the last 10 year Nissan and Hyundai have made the most amount of progress in regards to increasing sales, gaining market share despite never being #1 specifically in any one single category, improving reliability and quality ...

Toyota Camry's value
What really ticked me off during this whole recall ordeal, is the plummetting value of used Toyotas! I have a 2009 Camry SE, that I purchased in April of 08. Less that 2 years old, and even the same Toyota dealer I bought it from is only offer 13500 for it towards a trade against the Tundra! What is Toyota going to do about those of us that made a sound ... Read More

Re: acdii... [mickeyrom]
They more than likely fixed the problem I had on the 07 with the traction control sensitivity, but the cross wind instability is inherent to the design.

Lentz also said that Toyota first learned about the sudden acceleration problem in October ... Read More

Re: 2009 Camry LE V6 Question/Problem [notmybmw]
I don't think planetary gear system automatics have been used since the demise of the GM 4-speed Hydramatic back around 1964, with the notable exception of hybrid-electric cars like the Toyota Prius. Just a suggestion for Mr. West: Please avoid obscure abbreviations and all caps, and try to explain things in a way a non-engineer can understand.

Re: 2009 Camry LE V6 Question/Problem [wwest]
>Whereas Ford, with the new Edge, simply adopted a variable displacement ATF oil pump, low volume for HIGH engine revs and incrementally higher, selective volume, for lower engine revs. That's much more effective from an engineering standpoint, but it probably costs more than covering up a shift lag by changing the engine control in the software.

"...why does Toyota(/etc) have to change stuff that does not need change?.." While there are some very definite advantages to DBW, some HIGHLY advantagous, Toyota/etc's base reason for adopting DBW fleet wide had its origins in a design flaw in the U140E/F ("F" = F/awd) transaxle developed initially for the RX300. Since Toyota/etc wanted to adopt (~2002) the more fuel efficient U140E across the fleet something had to be done to ... Read More

Toyota's once-golden resale value gets dented

They could fall further next week if Toyota's quality issues ... Read More

Re: Toyota Resisted Safety Fix [oparr]
Someone stole the engine or the wheels? No, the 2009 Camry just has this little problem...it likes to suddenly accelerate on its on and currently my dealership doesn't have the parts. To make matters worse, interest in the Camry has plummeted so no one would buy it and Toyota still cannot decide what is the true underlining problem. Very poor quality Toyota!
