Used 2018 Toyota Camry Consumer Reviews
I went with dependable for the last time
I recently purchased a Camry XSE. I was really attracted by the gas mileage claims. 28 city, 39 Hwy. Coming from 14-15 MPG, I was excited by the savings. I have had the car for almost 2 weeks and have not gotten it above 17MPG combined. Their Entune system is almost pre-historic. It disengages while driving and when it's parked. I am constantly reloading the apps on my phone and then have to reload the apps to the system (Pandora, etc). It takes 20-25 minutes each time. This happens 3-4x a day. I also went with the red leather seats. These are already "wrinkling" on me. It looks like I've had the car for a few years. I have spoken with Toyota on both issues. I was told that my phone is not compatible with the car, but they are not willing to compensate the cost of a phone that is. The leather seats have been determined that that is the way they are going to look. There is or will be nothing to correct the situation. Another warning. Their 3 yr/36,000 mile "bumper to bumper" warranty is only on products made by Toyota. Not the seats. Not the computer system and etc. I would not recommend this or any other Toyota to anyone considering getting one.

After 340 miles???
We are long time buyers and lessees of Toyota vehicles. Our 2015 camry lease was up so naturally we got a 2018 SE. First indication tire pressure warning light came on. Checked, everything ok. By the end of the 3rd week of possession all the warning lights came on and stayed on. Check engine malfunction-pre-collision system malfunction-secondary collision brake system malfunction-power steering malfunction. Do not drive, contact dealer immediately. Car towed to nearest dealer. After 4 hours problem could not be determined. They are contacting Toyota. Needless to say we are in a rental. After 340 miles this is not setting well on us. Stay tuned..

Great Car with bad transmission
I've wanted the 2018 Camry XSE since the first time I saw it. It took me about 3 months before I bought it, because I wanted to make sure I was making a good purchase. I paid a great price for my car and I find the car very good. It is very gas efficient, has many safety items, but there is something that is bothering me so much, that is the transmission. The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible experience. The transmission is always hesitating to change gears. I complained about this problem with the Toyota Dealer and was given the "wonderful solution" to avoid using the ECO mode and always use the SPORT mode. I confess I was surprised that the solution given by the Toyota Dealer because I believe that Toyota Engineers are a little smarter and able to design a better transmission that my car has. I have prayed a lot for Toyota engineers to find a solution to this problem, otherwise I'll have to change my Camry for an Accord.

Toyota Camry doesn't live up to its reputation!
I purchased the Camry in November, 2017 because I had heard and read about the Camry being a very reliable car. Much to my disappointment, surprise and frustration, I don't agree with this assessment of the car. The biggest problem is the Entune 3.0 system that the music and GPS are supposed to run through. After ongoing problems with Entune, for the first several weeks after buying the car and getting different answers every time I called the Toyota customer service number, I took it back to the dealer, so they could check it out. After 3 hours of trial and error, I was told Entune and the latest operating system on the iPhone are not compatible. Didn't anyone know this!?!? I have continued to be in touch with Toyota and continually get lame excuses, such as, "We're waiting for Apple to fix it." If Toyota can afford Super Bowl ads and daily ads on TV, they should be able to afford to pay Apple enough to make it worth Apple's time to fix the problem, or Toyota should come up with a replacement product that works. It is too bad the lemon laws don't apply to this Entune issue because all of us have paid lots of money for a car with a system that doesn't work, and Toyota should provide a solution. I don't understand how they can continue to sell these cars, knowing this entertainment system doesn't work on all phones. Also, the few intermittent times it has worked, the GPS is the worst I've ever used. Toyota does not deserve the reputation of being reliable. Besides the Entune system not working, I have found some parts of the car to be very flimsy. The little container for change has already broken, and the visor doesn't stay firmly against the ceiling, but within the first few seconds of placing it there, it ends up hanging straight down and in my way. I have purchased many new cars during my lifetime, and this has been the worst experience ever.

Better Technology Upgrades!
Come on Toyota! My husband purchase this vehicle 2018SE last October (2017) , and we do agree with all the complaints of the technology issues. From the navigation to Entune especially, Toyota has fall short. Poor results! There is never a time when my husband can get any positive results from Entune. Please, please Toyota! Listen to your customer and do the necessary upgrades before coming out with the 2019 models! Overall, the look and feel of the vehicle is great, but as with all the complains it just means everyone would like to get where they are going using a reliable navigation system, and who would not like to be comfortable with a music app that is easy to work with?
