This is my 4th Camry 2011, 2012, 2016 and now 2018. My 2018 XSE is hands-down the best Camry I owned. What I hate about the car is the entune and scout GPS. The Scout GPS only works when the app is running in the background, so if you are talking on the phone or kids playing with iPhone then you can cancel out GPS. Also, I hate the fact that you have to authorize the entune every time the car start for it to upload the apps to work. If I knew that the scout was the GPS used, I would have probably got the XSE v6 because the GPS works excellent with heads-up display. The 2018 Toyota Camry tech is lagging compared to that of 2018 Honda Accord because they have apple and android auto play.

Scout GPS Needs to Go

Toyota needs to add Android Auto/Apple Car Play to your Entune 3.0 in the 2018 Camry (All Trims). I am officially complaining about the lack of this feature. The Honda Accord has this as Standard on most of their lines, as well as Kia, Hyundai, etc. This is keeping me from purchasing this car. This is a deal-breaker between me and my local dealer. Bad move on Toyota. Scout GPS is the worst. Google how bad Scout GPS is. Also, having to pay for Scout GPS after 3 years is also a bad move. I am not buying a Camry because of Scout GPS and lack of Android Auto/Apple Car Play.

2018 Toyota Camry drives in reverse

Purchased my 2018 Toyota Camry February 2018, very exciting to finally get a Camry. At about 500 miles problems started. The car dash lights continually came on indicating collusion. The rear seat belt indicator keeps beeping when no one sitting in the middle seat. The cars lane detectors not working all the time, the jerking when accelerating from a red light is scary to the point of a car almost rear ending you. The Entune system has Bluetooth connectivity issues seems to forget to automatically connect a lot. Gps not accurate and not user friendly. Getting on a highway is almost impossible since the car lags when accelerating and finally when you do get speed every light/ sensor on my dashboard turn on. Front camera regularly prompts me it’s off or not responding. This has been going on for the last 7 months until past weekend as we were leaving my home the car was put into drive then followed by a hard jerk the car went into reverse while in drive. Then all the dash lights/sensors came on and prompted to take car to dealership. The dealership manager of course didn’t seem convinced of what we said so he turned on the car and he experienced the same thing, he looked scared when the car went into reverse while placed on drive setting. This car has been giving us problems since 1 month into purchase. The dealership now says the cars computer went out, ok if that’s the case we have taken this car to the dealer on 4 separate occasions for the same issue and now all of a sudden they determined a computer failure? The car has been on diagnostics 4 separate times been told they couldn’t find anything wrong. This is a nightmare car. I have almost been in 3 separate car accidents due to loss of power while merging on highway or continuous jerking at every red light or stop sign. Now car remains at the dealership and we have a rental until they decide what to do next. This car value has depreciation to the point I can’t trade it in without loosing a significant amount of money and with this major repair, I’m sure it will be worse. I regret the day I purchased this car. I have documented all my issues with the car since March 2018 but that isn’t enough to prove I purchased a lemon according to Toyota. The dealership wants me to keep an ongoing video and picture archive before they will help me. Again the car hasn’t reached 6500 yet. I do like the body style and feel of the car but it’s very unfortunate that the reliability is non existent. I’m still make my payments on time but don’t have the car to enjoy.

Overall we were ok with the car despite 8 gear some what clunky shift. But in the end we realize not having CarPlay is a deal breaker. We used it with other rentals and found out how important this feature was. We just can't see ourselves stuck with this car without the feature for 5+ years. Updated 4/6/2018..... We went with the accord due to acceleration, cabin quietness and CarPlay. I'm so glad I did. Last week, rental company gave us a LE. OMG the car jumps in early start, you have to wait a few seconds before you shift to first gear. The 8 gear shift is jut not smooth. It's auto safety feature was way too sensitive. slight lane shift, the beep comes on. The car is just down right loud (compare to the Accord). especially in some road surface. It really need better sound damping between the engine, wind and road noise. My Accord has a smaller turbo engine and it's much quieter even though it rev higher. Now for the worse part, the infotainment system. You seen all the horror review and the are all true. Not having Carplay is a big mistake (this reason is enough to steer away from this car). Either BT or USB connect was a absolute a disaster. especially when my wife is trying to charge her phone by connecting to usb. My phone would random play music when disconnect from a call or navigation. When you answer a call, sometimes it sound is on the phone. Had to manually switch audio back to car. Unable to keep in the lane cause I constantly have to adjust my phone. A real safety issue. My wife absolutely hated the Camry compare to our Accord. I recommend you rent one for a week to give it a real world test.

Poor Quality

Entune 3.0 horrible, JBL audio low qualit, build quality bad. Front doors sound extremely cheap and hollow when closing. My XSE has a loose roof, noticed day two of ownership. Told it’s needs complete roof. Parts alone close to $4k. Really poor and customer service is not up to par. When they contact you they leave instructions to call back. Not possible and make tons on excuses. Car looks great, has exact fuel economy as listed, rides and handles well. Oh last thing. Never lift the driver side wiper to clean or remove snow or such. It hits the edge of the hood and damaged the paint. You can’t lift the wipers. What idiot approved that design. Really questioning this purchase.
