Scout GPS Navigation Very Unreliable

I have a 2017 Camry equipped with Scout GPS navigation. Scout is positively horrible. The audio instructions don't sync with the graphic maps, it's constantly restarting, it will not accept voice commands accurately, and it averages about 1 out of 10 in finding an address or location. Recently, I was sitting in my dealerships parking lot and Scout couldn't find the dealership. I have addressed this with my dealership three times and with Toyotas Help Line once. On all occasions, I have literally been told: 1) That they are aware that the system has problems and that they get a lot of complaints about it - one service Mgr went so far to say that he stopped using it in his car, because it was so unreliable and just uses Google maps from his phone and 2) Toyotas Help Line told me that they were aware of the problem and we're working on a fix, but did not have a software update scheduled. So at the end of the day, I have a GPS system in my car that doesn't work and Toyota knew that it didn't work when they sold me the car. Toyota should be ashamed of this kind of behavior. It's hard to believe that they have knowingly done this and are unwilling to fix it.

Best car I have ever owned!

I have owned a lot of cars, including two Prius, but this car is everything a car should be. First of all it is reasonably priced and of course reliability is expected to be great. One of things many don't realize is that this car has more American made parts, assembled in America and is more American combined, than any other car on the road right now. Leaving that aside I will say that the driving of this car is quite wonderful. I have the SE which has a bit tighter suspension, which makes the ride a little more firm. The 4 cylinder engine has plenty of power and combined with the six speed transmission makes driving a joy! The Entune entertainment system works and sounds great. Another great feature is the center screen on the dash that can give you (customizable) digital speedo, miles left to drive, tire pressure, odometer and other things that you can set. The ruby red pearl with 17" wheels looks awesome and so far like I said in the description, this is the best car I have ever owned!

Just 1110 miles so far.

Just bought this car 3 weeks ago, now with 1110 miles when ABS, traction control and check brake light came on. Took it to dealer, chief technician insisted on "turning the rotor" since it showed signs of warpage due to heat. I insisted on replacement, along with new pads and brake control module which probably caused this problem. After demanding to speak to service manager, they decided to do as I asked and replaced all 4 rotos and pads on all 4 corners but, not the module. Now, Monday following repair, drove 30 yards to end of street, all the previous brake warning lights returned! So, off to dealership we go in the morning to see ehat else it the problem...can't be the brand new rotors or pads, only thing left is the brake control module that I insisted they replace in the first place. I was a Cadillac technician at dealership, I know how they work. UPDATE, APR, 2018. Traded the car in for poor support. Bought a brand new 2017 not long after the first review. Pretty much the same car with issues getting in & out of the driver's side. I AM Japanese, 5'-10" and I can not see any way for me to get in & out without hitting my knee on the steering wheel or hitting my head on roof line. Head lights are a joke. After having HID in my 2016 Tundra, these lights are dingy yellow and visibility poor on a clear night. At the LEAST Toyota could do us to upgrade new vehicles to minimum LED lights.

2017 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

This is my 6th Toyota , and the cheapest made . Hard plastic interior trim and door panels , uncomfortable seats with short seat bottoms , and a navigation that does not recognize verbal commands 90% of the time . I have only 8000 miles on my XLE , and will be taking it back for a rear window issue that they can't seem to fix ...Toyota quality in the Camry seems to get lower with each generation .... The front bumper chips if you sneeze on it .

2017 Toyota Camry SE

My first ever Toyota Camry was a 2015 and it was a fantastic vehicle. Only requiring basic maintenance like oil Changes, and a tire replacement at 60,000 miles. I have replaced the 2015 with a same model 2017 and the car performs exactly the same as the 2015. We have taken a 1,000-mile trip and everything runs as it should. The 4 cylinder 6-speed Automatic transmission gets up to Highway way speed quickly and delivers good gas mileage averaging 32.2 mpg.
