Over 300,000Km on my 2007 and never had these issues pointed out in this video. Great reliable car it’s been. Only “major” was two alternator change which can fail since it’s sort of a consumable part.
2:25 that specific engine from Toyota is known to have excessive oil consumption. My Scion TC has that infamous 2AZFE engine as well. According to Scotty Kilmer it was just a design flaw. The block was made of aluminum and the cylinder liners are made of cast iron. So not it’s the just the piston rings itself. The piston rings do play a big role.
Buy parts on 1A auto at your own risk. You've been warned. Their return policy states they won't refund any parts installed. So if they sell you junk, and in my experience that's what you'll get, you're stuck with them replacing the junk with more junk. No refunds. You're better off buying parts elsewhere. Great videos though!
On the topic of Camry in general, I have a 2007 Camry XLE v6 (not the oil burner). I decided to keep it even after getting my 2023 Highlander. I absolutely the love the car and my mechanics are amazed how well-conditioned it is. I still take it on semi-long trips with no worries, and it drives as good as the day I got it new in late 2006. It has the power to conquer hills, and I love taking it in the mountains as it takes the steep inclines and tight curves with ease. The Camry is by far the best car I have ever owned and I still plan to drive it as long as it doesnt give me any major issues. For the interior, I did have the melting dashboard issue that I overlooked for years. I finally put a well-manufactured, custom-made dashboard cover on it that fits snug and uniformly, not one of those cheap Amazon eye-sore dash covers that looks like my grandma's 1970's style living room carpet. I also put custom seat covers over the original leather seating to cover any minor blemishes and give it a more modern look/feel.
What an amazing watch. Stumbled upon this video while watching another to change my engine air filter and I swear you’re talking directly to me lol my car is right around that mileage and currently facing most of those issues! Great vid dude! 👌
Being that I have this car, I can say that these are almost the only problems that the have! I had the mounts replaced, and it does consume alot of oil, but it is the best car that I've ever owned! I have a 2007. I was thinking of getting a ES or GS 350 lexus as an upgrade, but to tell you the truth, I'm also thinking of getting the last of the 6 generation camry with low miles! Used of course. The reason is because, it's an awesome car! The trunk and the hood latch also will eventually have problems also. Nothing but Lexus or a toyota cam in my future!
My understanding is, the excessive oil consumption, is due to low tension piston rings. Class action suit in the US provided that Toyota replace the piston rings for free, which cleared up the issue. Unfortunately here in Canada, Toyota will not replace them for free.
Inherited one of these at 60k with no oil burning issues as of yet. My grandad bought it for my mom new and he was pretty religious with regular maintence. It’s going to my youngest daughter after doing a bunch of recommended services at 60k like all the brakes, hoses and serpentine belt. Good first car for a newbie. After a nightmare of a time with some newer mopar cars (mostly electrical issues) I’ve switched to Toyota with all my future vehicles. I also have an 08 Solara convertible that is in great shape and a blast to drive. Looking to get a 2011 Lexus IS 350c I’ve been keeping an eye on at a local dealer. Want a real wheel drive coupe to play with.
I just changed a couple things for my camry and it feels good. I am at 266,000 miles. Im trying to change things i feel look worn already but i love my car honestly. 🎀💚
Helpful, but might want to mention there's more than one engine in this generation. Theres a 3.5 liter v6 as well as the 2010 and 2011 have the 2.5liter 2arfe engine instead of that 2.4 you're talking about. I have a 2011 with the 2.5 liter and it's hard to get info on it. I do hear relatively good things with the engine though.
I have the 2011 manual version. Only problem it has is that it occasionally turns off while in neutral or going into neutral. Its driving me crazy thats its only random when it shuts off in neutral. This is the 4 cylinder btw
Camry OEM parts are legendary except for the warped front rotors. Both of mine V6 Camrys' purchased new have warped rotors. Good aftermarket were much better, so far so good. Otherwise very reliable, although the one from Japan were better. Don't trust the 100,000 mile no transmission oil change, no dipstick to check. Drop oil pan with new transmission filter at 50K to play it safe. Let's say the new Camrys' are less reliable and more expensive to fix. Changing a $50 module could cost $2,000 or more.
196k, On 09 CamrySe 4cyl. Oil consumption is a issue now. I alway keep a eye on it and change every 3k been a good vechicle. Fuel Pump only other issue i repaired in 15 Years!
2002 camry, 240k miles. Cut off while driving, no crank no start. Dash lights and headlights on. No blown fuses, no visibly burnt relays. Any thoughts?
07-09 Camry had the 2AZ-FE engine. 10-11 Camry had the 2AR-FE engine. The oil consumption was fixed when Toyota engineered the 2AR-FE my 2007 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE 2.4L 4cyl 5 Speed Manual Transmission doesn't burn oil it has 282,000kms i do my oil changes every 3,000kms.
+@nightfangs2910 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
there is one other problem these cars have and I just can't figure it out?? HIGH BEAM / DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS?? They went out last year and have taken it to several mechnics and they just coudln't figure out the issue?? Checked all the fuses and relays and they are all in working order?? But when testing tom see if any power was going to and thru the fuses for the hhigh beams...not much was?? Can anyone tell me IF they had this issue and what was the problem and how was it fixed?? Oh and yes the bulbs are new and still no high beams or day time driving lights.
2.4 litre ie the 2az fe engine is a failure. It aimed to replace the 5sfe which is a very strong and reliable inline 4cyl engine made by Toyota but the 2.4 suffered from excessive oil consumption, head bolts were reported to wear out and cause coolant leakage which would lead to overheating. My dad used to have one, he checked the oil after a pretty long time and there was fuck all in there. Do yourself a favour and stay away from this engine I'd say. If you wanna Camry get an older one with either the 5sfe or the 1mz fe engine they last for ever, the newer ones are probably a pretty safe bet as well but the 2az fe is a pile of shit
On the oil, That's the oil consumption???!! I am like Scotty, I don't trust long interval, so 3k is good for me. Please verify this for me. Is that the oil consumption problem people are having because it goes 10k before changing and the piston rings are not the best?
fully synthetic oil, like mine its a 5w30 can last up to 10k miles what i mean is the speedometer +10000 number, easier to call it 10k miles no need convert

Oil is a issue with my 09 Camry😢. I'll check it weekly and regular oil changes is a must, Have 200k on it now it's been a good car!!
I love my 07 Camry!

So how do I get this fixed? Take it to the toyota dealership I got it from 10 years ago? Thanks

Lo que explican en este video es 100% veridico tengo uno de estos y si estos carros tienen esos problemas muy bien explicado, gracias !
toyota camry is the best ❤❤❤

All facts and don’t forget the Toyota had a piston ring problem too a lot of recalls on the 07-11 Camry. Thank God I didn’t have that problem
Top problem is that you’re never going to get rid of it because it will run forever
I haven't had any of these problems so far at 223k. But It does have a front brake shudder after pads have been on awhile.
I have found that using good quality diesel oil is best as it cleans.
How do you fix the bonus problem with the sticky dash??? I’ve literally tried everything
Put a dash cover on
Get a dash mat u won't need to use velcro to hold it on
Get a dash mat
Dash mat
Buy a dash cover and stick it too it. Wored like a charm for me
I have the 2011 manual version. Only problem it has is that it occasionally turns off while in neutral or going into neutral. Its driving me crazy thats its only random when it shuts off in neutral. This is the 4 cylinder btw
What about the catalytic converter failing? Seems to be a common issue. I just replaced one
Such a reliable car with very little issues.
I have been tryna figure out that p0138 code for two years.
2011 has the newer 2.5 which does not use oil

196k, On 09 CamrySe 4cyl. Oil consumption is a issue now. I alway keep a eye on it and change every 3k been a good vechicle. Fuel Pump only other issue i repaired in 15 Years!
Oil consumption issue ts only for the 07-09 2.4L 4 cylinders. The 10 and 11 2.5L 4 cylinders are fine.
Me watching this with a blown top motor mount and acceleration hesitation like 👁👄👁🙃😅😆
2002 camry, 240k miles. Cut off while driving, no crank no start. Dash lights and headlights on. No blown fuses, no visibly burnt relays. Any thoughts?
Can you make a playlist where we can check videos about parts suspension ,engines ,steering related ?
I have 2011 XLE. Great car, but why would Toyota recommend an oil change every 10k miles 💀
What no hood latch corrosion causing car alarm to go off at odd times??????
My 2010 Camry wasn't reliable when it left me Stranded In The middle of the road at night 😒😒
What about the 2.5L engine???
07-09 Camry had the 2AZ-FE engine. 10-11 Camry had the 2AR-FE engine. The oil consumption was fixed when Toyota engineered the 2AR-FE my 2007 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE 2.4L 4cyl 5 Speed Manual Transmission doesn't burn oil it has 282,000kms i do my oil changes every 3,000kms.
LOL my father's Camry is not alone😂
My 07 2.4 L engine, no speedometer or odometer reading could this be the ABS module??? ABS lights are on, all new wheel sensors, 🤷🤷
+@nightfangs2910 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My car is a whole mess with power steering leaking oil too.
Thanks sir❤❤❤
Donde va el consumo de aceite del Camry no tiene salidero el motor y no hecha humo
as far as I know in 2010 the camry got a new engine which takes care of excessive oil consumption.
No car or truck is perfect, but these Camrys aren’t that bad. Our 2008 Camry LE almost has 200k miles, and hardly any issues were seen.
Thanks sir
there is one other problem these cars have and I just can't figure it out?? HIGH BEAM / DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS?? They went out last year and have taken it to several mechnics and they just coudln't figure out the issue?? Checked all the fuses and relays and they are all in working order??

Men No Wonder I’m Heading To Like 250.000 miles and it’s still running like new
Toyota Camry. La cajuela no se able?
10k miles is abt 16k kms, which freaking engine oil lasts that long???
fully synthetic oil, like mine its a 5w30 can last up to 10k miles what i mean is the speedometer +10000 number, easier to call it 10k miles no need convert
For a higher mileage and he showed 139k.. what a joke this aint ford..139k is basically 5k i have 315k on my 09 camry
So their not as reliable as they say😂
This is all basic owners maintenance, wtf are you blabbering about? You think wear item parts and motor oil should last a lifetime? What a DOLT.🤦
Horrible honestly
if you take proper care sure its reliable
I mean it'll still run lol
YOU GAVE AN ANSWER/FIX FOR EVERY PROBLEM EXCEPT THE DASH BOARD... WHY BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO SELL TO FIX IT?! SAD.
Toyota's cars are junk I do not recommend buying them
That 2007 is a TRASH car,a lot of problem
