The XV40 sixth Gen Toyota Camry is a solid car, however, just like most cars, there are issues that arise and it would be wise to know what issues may pop up to avoid going to rabbit holes.

      The Camry is an awesome car. That’s the exactly why I make these videos, all cars have issues. However, a lot of people go into buying used cars very ill educated, so I’m trying to help inform people so they don’t buy a car with issues already, or if they do, it may be something they can fix themselves.

    I've got the 2007 Toyota Camry LE V6 and it is a tank. The V6 is plenty powerful for anything I've ever needed to do and has survived multiple accidents. I am shocked that it hasn't been totaled, but it has maintained the same value since I bought it. I love it enough that I genuinely might replace the transmission when it eventually goes instead of buying a new car. Good car with nearly 190,000 miles that drives like new
    I have replaced normal things like the power steering pump, water pump, one axle, and the alternator but nothing major. It is the best out of all the cars I have owned

    The piston rings on the 2azfe engine wasn’t the problem. The problem was the oil return holes in the piston was getting clogged with carbon build up. I fixed a bunch of these when i worked for an independent shop.
    I would let the vehicles sit over night with seafoam in the bores which cleaned the return holes from carbon. It worked for me every time.
    Just remember the change the oil because the oil will be diluted with seafoam and also crank the engine over with the spark plugs out so whatever excess seafoam is in the cylinders will get blown out. I usually put a shop rag over the cylinders so seafoam doesnt go everywhere.
    Also i find that changing the oil every 3-3.5k and using quality fuel will keep carbon away froM the oil return holes in the pistons.

      I assume it's cause the oil return holes aren't big enough? Think maybe drilling a couple extra holes or making the current holes bigger would solve the issue? Even though it wouldn't make since cause you can just buy new pistons, it shouldn't do any harm right? Piston weight would be off, but would it matter in this case?

      @@blakedwyer8227 i personally change my oil every 3.5k and i always use synthetic. Oil is cheaper than engine work so I would say change it every 3.5k. Go to walmart and get supertech synthetic oil. 5 quarts for $13. I’ve been using supertech for over 5 years without a single problem. I did my valve cover gasket just a few days ago and i removed one of the cam bearings to check for wear and there was none.

    My headlight dimmer switch all of a sudden the piece that you switch to turn the lights on easily pulls out and is loose when turning the lights on and off. I watched a RUclips video where some guy from Colorado went to some sort of auto pull a part place and got one from another car of 1 year younger model and just unscrewed 2 or 3 screws then used a flathead screwdriver to prop the casing off and then replace the headlight dimmer switch and then it worked like new. The dealership said they would charge $410 for it LOL. I might try to do it myself!

It’s been a great car for me especially when you compare it to the 2008 Chrysler 300 I had. Tons of issues with that. It’s all in how you take care of cars.

    I have a 2011 Camry that I've put 237,412 miles on. The only problem it has is a small power steering hose leak at the clamp. I saw your video and thought you were full of it. My dash is as perfect as it was when it left the manufacturing plant, no wetness, stickiness, cracks or any signs of deterioration, not even signs of normal wear and tare. The only time my hood comes up is to change the oil and I have a 4 cylinder with nearly a quarter of a million miles on it that is parked outside in my driveway everyday, not a garage. The only thing that I can agree with you on is the power steering hose, which is a $10 fix. Your video is extremely misleading. Either you work for Honda or you bought a used Camry that the previous owner dogged out. It's obvious to me, you don't know anything about Toyota Camrys. 😜

      As for the knock on the sunroof, i used a can of heavy duty silicone and sprayed the tracks and sunroof seal( very important) and that fixed my knocking sound from my camry.

      ​@@99codzilla Ah, I see a massive improvement ever since I went to autozone. They cleaned the PCV valve for me. They even went through the trouble to jerry rigged a pcv hose cause the last one was cracked a little bit on the end that connects to the pcv. Oil doesn't get dirty like it did before + oil consumption was improved massively. I'll try and see if I can get the part number for the line you are talking about and replace it just for insurance down the road.

      These cars had so many problems they took Toyota from number one ranked in reliability to their just by them selves. The 07 had terrible engine oil burning problems and high oil’ consumption problems. Toyota had multiple recalls and lawsuits for these cars. Toyota is my favorite car company but these especially the 07 V4 had lots of problems ask any mechanic or google/RUclips it yourself.

    This review is absolutely ridiculous! I'm a proud owner of a 2011 Toyota Camry XLE V6 engine. Mileage is 106,000 miles. I have had 2 door lock actuators need to be replaced and that is it in 11 years. To have those go bad is very unusual for a Toyota Camry to have. I do ALL the required maintenance that is in the owner's manual. Regular scheduled oil changes at 5,000 miles when it was newer and now at 3,000 miles. At the appropriate mileage I have DRAINED not flushed the transmission fluid twice now, changed the coolant fluid, and I have had no other issues. Toyota Camry's are a cheap car when it comes to overall ownership of the vehicle and if you do what they recommend you will have very little issues. I would LOVE to buy American cars however they make shit vehicles in RUST colors only! If looking for a real honest car reviews go to Scotty Kilmer who is a car mechanic!

      Expressing issues that people should be aware about before pulling the trigger is not lying. Just because the car is very reliable does not mean it has zero issues. Every car has issues. When they are repeat issues, that is a common issue. The issues will not happen to every Camry, obviously.

      You do realize all cars have issues, right?
      If there are reports after reports of certain issues, doesn’t that classify as a common issue within a typical model?
      I’ll answer that for you:
      Yes.
