I just have to add this. Yesterday my son and I went to purchase a used 2014 Camry LE. After a long test ride, putting it up on the lift to inspect the underneath, pulling out the spare tire and jack the very last thing we did was try to pair the phone with the radio. Guess what, the radio wouldn't pair, there was an issue with the touchscreen! I asked the salesman to get us a price on a new radio. $1000 installed OUCH!!! In our negotiation the dealer will install a new radio at no charge for us! All that to say without watching this video and remembering to try to pair the phone, we would have been out $1000. So again a VERY BIG THANK YOU!!! You helped save us $1000. Blessings to you!
Screw the radio dude the f****** mode is a piece of s*** it's raining is a piece of s*** the car is big enough to be a taxi cab that's why it's so f****** cheap up here in New York those cost the coral of the f****** Sky High they're better cause than noisy Motors in the parolis but they are better in a way the Camry always sucked and those years sucked from 2000 and two all the way to cart they suck motorcycle first not a tranny suck so why even bother buying the piece of s*** it's a taxi cab and that's it you worry about a radio with your blue teeth but it start brushing your teeth when it turns green with your transmission goes I had every Toyota since 1977 till 22 buy a Tacoma make sure the frame is okay first generation by a Corolla they may use it some oil for the leaf state the motor will last you and the training oh yes they do burn oil though I drive a 91 Patrol doesn't burn nothing best year ever made Corolla learn something for me not the idiots I'll trade that s*** in hope you didn't pay any more than 5,000 for it it's not even worth that
I love watching how Car Care Nut has evolved in his videos. He was a bit stiff and nervous in the beginning as he is seen here. Later he becomes an absolute pro in front of the camera.
I also have a 2012 Le model and I have close to 200k on it. I got it in 2013 with just about 30k something miles as well. The car is very reliable. It hasn't giving me any stress other than the regular maintenance required.
This video guided me to buy a 7 year old camry 8 months back, and the same went to his servce center for oil change last week, got positive feedback of the car from this expert. Thank you for your service, may God bless you and keep you blessings to many...
I want to replace my 2004 Dodge Stratus for something affordable but as reliable as possible and the 2012-2014 Camry has been my best option so far, so watching your video has been really helpful because I wouldn't have imagined it could have so many issues. Thank you so much!
Thank tou for another well produced video/ There are a lot of good looking 2012 Camrys out there. Your video helps us verify which ones we should buy. Thanks again for exposing the problems and advising how we should care for this car.
Just bought a 2014 Camry from a Toyota dealer, didn't notice shudder until i got home. A very firm conversation with the dealer and they covered the TC recall. runs fine now, despite the window for the recall closing a few weeks ago they still honored it.
All my family drives and owns a toyota. My wife had her 2012 camry se for awhile and theres no problem other than water pump. I changed that already. I own a 2016 tacoma 4x4 sr5 and i daily it. No problem its all how you drive and maintaining it.
Great video, thank you so much! I'm about to go look at a 2012 Camry for my daughter to drive. With this information and some other I got, I feel I am armed with enough information to know if I am buying the right car.
I own a 2013 Camry. Thank you for the tips. I have 108,000km on it and will be getting the transmission fluid changed at the dealership within the next 6 months.
We are so grateful to you for telling us about this car. We will check all of your recommendations before we buy this car. I'm sure you've saved many of us from costly repairs.
Thanks for all the tips and advice, i have a 2014 camry se bought new took your advice and replace the transmission fluid at 64000 mls. no other issues so far.
Blessings to you as well. Thanks for the information. Bought my 2012 4cyl Camry in 2017 with 80k miles and now has 150k miles. Its been really great. Did transmission fluid change at 100k at dealer. Oil changes every 5000 miles. Recently changed battery and original alternator and the brakes. Did a 1600 mile trip and averaged 39 per gal hwy. Been blessed with no fluid or exhaust leaks. Only issue is the driver door lock actuator, which will be $500 to replace. No rush to replace can lock with key. Thanks again for info.
Was is a fully trans fluid change? Or u had to come back to the dealership more than once to keep changing the fluid since there’s still old fluid stuck in some parts of the car?
@@mark.namoco Just once. I'm almost at 175k now. Going to have trans fluid change again after putting another 75k. Car doesn't leak anything at all nor burn oil.
We have one and it’s a beautiful car. Just be careful with it. A few very tiny rust spots I am working on. You are right about the chips and things. So you can buy proper factory colour coded paint and apply minimally. It gets cleaned regularly and monthly home service things ( not mechanic things- better to pay for that!) We run the car on the highest octane gas - it’s a bit expensive but it drives so sweetly. The reviews I read criticise the steering, but honestly, the steering is fantastic. Most of all drive smoothly and don’t stress the engine and brakes. The emergency brakes are excellent and the seat belt thing locks properly. Seats are comfortable. Everything easy to clean. A nice step up from previous model ( I used to own 6cyl model) in certain areas. Paid a bit extra but over the life of car, good value. It’s a good size for the family. No need for suv! People criticise its looks but when you take care of them, I think they look really nice ( most cars do). Bought second hand last year (2020) 105,000 kms ( 65,000 miles) @ about $US $8000- bottom the range altise. Made in Australia! Thank you brother. Peace and best wishes.
Hey AMD. Great video. Of course I wish I had seen this sooner but I am still glad that I saw it. I bought my Toyota Camry SE brand new in May of 2013. I never had any issues with the torque converter. I received the recall notice from Toyota in 2014 to bring in it for the torque converter shudder issue. Then it had about 20k miles on it. I had the recall done, no issues afterwards. In 2017 at 53k miles I had the the transmission fluid flushed (by my independent mechanic who is pretty good). He used aftermarket synthetic fluid for the flush. Again, no issues afterwards. Late last year ( in 2020) I started noticing that when I would coast between 40-45 miles an hour I would feel a sudden shudder then it would stop, then it would do it again. Living in NY I’ve hit allot of potholes over the years so I’m thinking hey, it’s my front end and I had better get it checked. I did and NO problem was found with the front end. It was then that I realized that I have the Torque Converter shudder issue that you referred to in this video. Now the car has 95k miles on it and shudders allot. I have an appointment with Toyota next week Thursday (9/25) for them to take a look at it. My question to you is this. Since they have to take part of the transmission apart, when the issue is fixed should I have them flush the transmission of the old aftermarket synthetic fluid that I put in there in 2017 and put the Toyota WS Tranny fluid in there. Or do you think doing this will cause damage? I am just concerned that mixing different types of tranny fluid will cause issues. Thank you for your time. Max.
Hi Max, Thank you for watching my video. The fluid will get replaced again and if you didn’t have issues with the fluid then it’s likely compatible. There’s a very good chance your car will be covered by the warranty extension if you bought the car new in May of 2013. The dealership will take care of it from there.
Thanks! You made me aware of the tc shudder. I had no idea. I thought maybe it was cv joints or something. I called my dealer and at first they checked and said we are showing no warranties left on your car. Then I did some more research and called back and said it’s called the warranty enhancement program ZE5. They found it and I qualify!! (2013 with 115K). My appointment is next Thursday! Thanks again, and I wish you much success in your endeavors!
THAT my friends is how you get what you're owed! I did the same thing the dealership was like where did you get this TSB? This is something they usually just send us as a courtesy.. yeah OK.. I had to call the NHSTA for this information on extended recalls.
Thank you for this valuable information, this helped me to buy a used 2014 camry.. Good that i chose camry as i was looking for cheaper cars, but worth the money, engine is smooth, and has great comfort while driving..
Thank you for the information. I own a 2012 Camry XLE with 33K miles. Until now I don't have any major issues. I usually change my engine oil every 6000 miles.
It's so awesome to find this video; it is great!! I'm new to Toyota, by way of a low-mileage 2014.5 Camry SE and I'm looking forward to owning and driving this car for a long time! Thank you for your knowledge and honesty, it is much appreciated. May God continue to bless you and yours...🙏🏽❤
thanks for the video. wife and i have a '12 with 180k miles and a '14 with 280k miles. recommend turning off automatic door locks to save lock solenoids. we drive 50k miles a year for uber. tires brakes batteries and axles are the only things we've had to do. all normal wear items. no complaints! great cars with minimal problems! we drive the heck out of them!
Hey Rob Rides! thanks for the comment. Question. Do you still have these cars and if so, what mileage do you have on them? (I currently have a 13 Camry SE with 113k).
Thanks, looking at a 2013 to add to the family fleet this afternoon. Have an 06 that's been pretty solid. Good to know what to look for on this generation.
He is right .i have camry 2012 Have all the symtoms almost he said Noisy tensioner pulley Cold start clatter in 4cylndr engine Whining noise sometimes Body Paint chipping issue Electrical issue like Radio not playing from last stopped song instead it goes back to first file every time. Transmission / torque converter stuttering after warmed up and cruising aroung 40-60 km hour and leave gas it will stutter little bit
I recently bought a 2012 Camry se v6 with 47,000 miles on it. It’s been garage kept by an old lady for its whole life before I bought it (1 owner). Thank you so much for this video, I’ll be sure to keep all that information in mind! 😊
@srthellcat707 TOTALLY AGREE! THE 2020-21 LOOKS EVEN WORSE. LIKE THEY ARE COMPETING WITH THE NEW ACCORD. THE "BOXEY, MODEST COMMUTER" LOOK IS GONE. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE 1999-2001 CAMRY WHEN IT CAME OUT. MY NEXT DOOR NIEGHBOR HAD A 2015 AND HARD AS I TRIED I COULD NOT GET MYSELF TO LIKE IT. CHEERS!
I’ve owned a 2012 Camry LE for 5 years and traveled throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Although she may be a plain Jane in the looks department, I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems. She’s been rock-solid. And yes, it’s a she haha
Been really thinking about upgrading cars and i want a camry, preferably a 2010-2013 model instead of a 2007-2009 model for the difference in engines but now i think I'll just stick to my 2002 pontiac grand am 204,000 miles and still going strong. Only thing I've changed is the drive belt and alternator.
Thank you for all the helpful info. I really appreciate your channel. You mentioned a grounding point under the engine-bay fuse box. You even point to it with a red arrow but there were no wires connected to that point. And I looked on my 2014 and mine has no wires connected there either. Should I search for a loose ground wire?
The Lord bless you my friend...a few months back i bought '12 Camry 4cyl le when 31k miles, owned by older woman very well taken care off. You're video is very informative thanks!
I got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with a little less than 30,000 Miles away few days ago. I love it!!!!!! I have to fix my navigation system though, it keeps saying I'm somewhere in the U.S that I'm not. I'm thinking about taking it to the dealership or a mechanic.
I have noticed the SEs are the worst ones to chip in the front end the way the front is designed.. even on the new Toyota Camrys now The XLE and LEs are designed more aerodynamic and they resist chipping much better than the sport models...
@@jonpeterson4085 My 2020 Camry is Wind Chill Pearl.. The paint on it has a very nice depth.. There is nothing thin about the paint on it .. it is a 425.00 option..To touch it up you have to use two tubes of paint a base and a top coat..
Great video! I know that you have a new ones talking about THE MOST RELIABLES TOYOTA MODELS, but in the Camry, is better the 2.4l or the 2.5l or the V6? Thanks
Fantastic channel, and I love that you answer so many questions in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos, they are 1st rate! I have a 4cyl 2014 Camry LE, bought it new and so far it has has been a very good car. Had a small problem when it was new, I would occasionally loose all throttle response for a few seconds after a right turn. It took awhile to get remedied but it ended up just being a simple adjustment at the brake pedal. I know they are not perfect but I do love my Toyota's!
I recently did a transmission fluid (drain) on my Lexus IS350 with 115k miles and I noticed a slight shutter at 30-40 miles most especially on a steep hill climb. Thinking it was a bad fuel problem I used a couple of fuel treatment products and the problem seem to have gone. Do still think it's something I should be worried about?
2012 SE 100 000 miles on it, O problems, just changed tires and a set of sparkplugs(no issues) because I thought it might be time for it, but they were like new!
Hi @TheCarCareNut great videos 👍🏼 👍🏼 . 😊 I have 4 cylinder 2013 Camry with 119K miles. When do you recommend the timming chain? Still running great and oil is always clean.
Hmmm....i have the 2013 toyota camry and i usually do oil change at every 10000 mile. Have no oil leak of any kind on my camry. The only problen that just show the other day was the belt tensioner noise rattle like the bearing was worn out. Gonna go get a new replacement today along with a new timing belt since it is already at 100000 mile since the day i first bought it brand new from the dealership back when they first came out.
Great review! Well detailed! I am 6’4 and I am about to purchase this exact 2014 hybrid camry xle! My concern are my legs! Is it spacious or doesn’t have enough room for my legs as the driver ? I need your advice! Please and thank You!
Two issues worth noting with this model. The standard radio (not JBL) has a common issue with the screen not responding to touch around the edges. Mine is bad at the bottom and right side. Car has 37,000 miles on it now, so not like the radio has had a lot of use. Other issue of Camry's of this date range is that they got a poor rating by IIHS for small overlap test in 2012-2014 ('14 ones produced in 2013). The 2014.5 model had structural changes making that version IIHS rated "acceptable," so look for a "2014.5" on the B pillar..
Both are true. Though the screen edge issue was not as common on the earlier models and a lot more common on other Toyota radios but I’ve seen a few on this generation Camry. The safety rating is a subject I didn’t touch on because that’s not mechanical and that’s something for the perspective buyer to research on the car itself new or used. you are 100% right on the safety rating
i bought a 2014.5 camry from carmax and it had the screen issue you mentioned. a hack i used to play around there is to use the magnetic part of your Bank card. Cheers
I own a 2014 Camry SE, and received a TSB (transmission shudders when reaching the speed of 50 mph) and had the torque converter replaced at my local dealership. This video is very helpful to keep an eye on trouble spots! Thank you!
The dealer fixed it for free. They replaced the torque converter and calibrated the computer. Here is the link to get your car fixed under the enhanced warranty: www.tsbsearch.com/Toyota/POL14-10
Replacing the torque converter is a temporary fix, the root problem is poor transmission design. If I was you, I would sell your Camry yesterday, if not sooner.
Because of the pandemic restrictions and my work in general I have only been driving between 3000 and 5000 miles a year in my cars. Is it OK to change the oil every year instead of every 6 months?
Hi. Thanks for the video going to look at a 2012 with 37k for $6000 owner is 80+ year old lady who is unable to drive anymore. Plan on looking at all the items you spoke about. Thanks again.
After 100k anything is aceptable, however mi ‘13 Camry XLE , doesn’t have any problems, no leaks, no weird noise , no transmission problems, of course, I take care properly of my car , transmission serviced by myself every 30k, synthetic oil change every 5k, ANYWAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE “warnings” IN ADVANCE !!
Great content, you really know the Toyota products very well. My 2012 Camry Hybrid XLE (with sunroof) makes the exact noise you mentioned in the video when I do a sharp right turn.
Shaokai Chen thank you! It’s very common on these models. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it bothers you. It can be fixed and you’ll never hear it again.
Hope it is not an expensive fix. Subscribed. I will finish watching all the videos in your channel pretty soon. They are very well made and informative. In a short word, addictive. Big thumb up!
I just have to add this. Yesterday my son and I went to purchase a used 2014 Camry LE.

Good that i chose camry as i was looking for cheaper cars, but worth the money, engine is smooth, and has great comfort while driving..
Wow! This is so enlightening.. thanks
It was very informative video , Really appreciated
Thank you for the information. I own a 2012 Camry XLE with 33K miles. Until now I don't have any major issues.
I usually change my engine oil every 6000 miles.
It's so awesome to find this video; it is great!!
I'm new to Toyota, by way of a low-mileage 2014.5 Camry SE and I'm looking forward to owning and driving this car for a long time! Thank you for your knowledge and honesty, it is much appreciated. May God continue to bless you and yours...🙏🏽❤
@not bound thank you! I hope you have your car for a long time without issues! Let me know if you have any questions!

thanks for the video. wife and i have a '12 with 180k miles and a '14 with 280k miles. recommend turning off automatic door locks to save lock solenoids. we drive 50k miles a year for uber. tires brakes batteries and axles are the only things we've had to do. all normal wear items. no complaints! great cars with minimal problems! we drive the heck out of them!
3 questions. Are they 2.5 liter 4 cylinder? Did you get the torque converter software update? And have you ever had the transmission fluid changed?
You had no issues with the torque converter
Hey Rob Rides! thanks for the comment. Question. Do you still have these cars and if so, what mileage do you have on them? (I currently have a 13 Camry SE with 113k).
Have u change the transmission fluid
Very informative thank you!
Thanks, looking at a 2013 to add to the family fleet this afternoon. Have an 06 that's been pretty solid. Good to know what to look for on this generation.
God bless you habibi, it is another good job.
Thank you!

GREAT LISTENIG TO YOUR ADVICE THANK YOU
Great stuff! Thanks and may the Lord bless you too!
I recently bought a 2012 Camry se v6 with 47,000 miles on it. It’s been garage kept by an old lady for its whole life before I bought it (1 owner). Thank you so much for this video, I’ll be sure to keep all that information in mind! 😊
@WackboysFuneral fr tho. They’re fast asf (especially for Camry standards 😂) and the v6 makes the ride MUCH smoother than the same model 4- cylinder.
How much did you pay?
Lucky you

@srthellcat707 TOTALLY AGREE! THE 2020-21 LOOKS EVEN WORSE. LIKE THEY ARE COMPETING WITH THE NEW ACCORD. THE "BOXEY, MODEST COMMUTER" LOOK IS GONE.

great vid! Cheers
I’ve owned a 2012 Camry LE for 5 years and traveled throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Although she may be a plain Jane in the looks department, I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems. She’s been rock-solid. And yes, it’s a she haha
Very informative video.
My 2014 Toyota Camry 4cyl had the shudder. Toyota paid for the torque converter to be replaced though. Good on Toyota!!!
Been really thinking about upgrading cars and i want a camry, preferably a 2010-2013 model instead of a 2007-2009 model for the difference in engines but now i think I'll just stick to my 2002 pontiac grand am 204,000 miles and still going strong. Only thing I've changed is the drive belt and alternator.
you are the best your a good Honest mechanic they are hard to find nowadays thank you .
Thank you for all the helpful info. I really appreciate your channel. You mentioned a grounding point under the engine-bay fuse box. You even point to it with a red arrow but there were no wires connected to that point. And I looked on my 2014 and mine has no wires connected there either. Should I search for a loose ground wire?
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!!! Lord bless you too my Brother!
Thank you for the great detail in your video. My vehicle has the timing grind...I'm wondering how bad it is.
Could you take a video of the noise and email it to me?
The Lord bless you my friend...a few months back i bought '12 Camry 4cyl le when 31k miles, owned by older woman very well taken care off. You're video is very informative thanks!
Thanks! Nice car that will last you for a long time!

I got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with a little less than 30,000 Miles away few days ago. I love it!!!!!! I have to fix my navigation system though, it keeps saying I'm somewhere in the U.S that I'm not. I'm thinking about taking it to the dealership or a mechanic.
Thank you so much for this information! Your so appreciated 😌
God bless you and everyone else! TY!
you are spot on about the paint chipping easy!!!!
True that! Had to repaint my front bumper a couple years back!
I have noticed the SEs are the worst ones to chip in the front end the way the front is designed.. even on the new Toyota Camrys now The XLE and LEs are designed more aerodynamic and they resist chipping much better than the sport models...
@@randyjackson347 paint is only 3 mil, most cars bout 6 mil
@@jonpeterson4085 My 2020 Camry is Wind Chill Pearl.. The paint on it has a very nice depth.. There is nothing thin about the paint on it .. it is a 425.00 option..To touch it up you have to use two tubes of paint a base and a top coat..
@@randyjackson347 all cars today use base and clear. can not tell depth by looking, need a paint meter
Great video!
I know that you have a new ones talking about THE MOST RELIABLES TOYOTA MODELS, but in the Camry, is better the 2.4l or the 2.5l or the V6?
Thanks
Fantastic channel, and I love that you answer so many questions in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos, they are 1st rate!
I have a 4cyl 2014 Camry LE, bought it new and so far it has has been a very good car. Had a small problem when it was new, I would occasionally loose all throttle response for a few seconds after a right turn. It took awhile to get remedied but it ended up just being a simple adjustment at the brake pedal. I know they are not perfect but I do love my Toyota's!
I recently did a transmission fluid (drain) on my Lexus IS350 with 115k miles and I noticed a slight shutter at 30-40 miles most especially on a steep hill climb. Thinking it was a bad fuel problem I used a couple of fuel treatment products and the problem seem to have gone. Do still think it's something I should be worried about?
Thanks man
Can you give a video on how to fix the plunk on the sunroof its annoying on my 2014 camry. thanks
Torque converter was bad on my 2014 Camry. Extended recall warranty is 8 years after first purchase or before 150,000k miles.
This is really good to know. Last I checked they hadn’t extended their coverage. I’ll check with my dealer on Monday. Thanks!
2012 SE 100 000 miles on it, O problems, just changed tires and a set of sparkplugs(no issues) because I thought it might be time for it, but they were like new!
Thank you!
Hi @TheCarCareNut great videos 👍🏼 👍🏼 . 😊 I have 4 cylinder 2013 Camry with 119K miles. When do you recommend the timming chain? Still running great and oil is always clean.
Thank you. Blessings
glad i watched this video. I am debating on buying a 2012 camry.
which camry model years have you seen the fewest problems in?
Just get the car every car in the world are going to have problems
It's a durable beast.
Get it, I have still have mine! I got it at 0 miles and it’s at 102,000 miles now. Only thing I’ve switched is the alternator !
i have a 2012 v6.. according to him, im glad i got the v6 because it's been great!
My 2014 SE had a faulty torque converter too.
Hi I’m wondering if the 2012-2014 Camry hybrids are as reliable as the 2015-2017 Camry hybrids?
Hmmm....i have the 2013 toyota camry and i usually do oil change at every 10000 mile. Have no oil leak of any kind on my camry. The only problen that just show the other day was the belt tensioner noise rattle like the bearing was worn out. Gonna go get a new replacement today along with a new timing belt since it is already at 100000 mile since the day i first bought it brand new from the dealership back when they first came out.
Great review! Well detailed! I am 6’4 and I am about to purchase this exact 2014 hybrid camry xle! My concern are my legs! Is it spacious or doesn’t have enough room for my legs as the driver ? I need your advice! Please and thank You!
Two issues worth noting with this model. The standard radio (not JBL) has a common issue with the screen not responding to touch around the edges. Mine is bad at the bottom and right side. Car has 37,000 miles on it now, so not like the radio has had a lot of use. Other issue of Camry's of this date range is that they got a poor rating by IIHS for small overlap test in 2012-2014 ('14 ones produced in 2013). The 2014.5 model had structural changes making that version IIHS rated "acceptable," so look for a "2014.5" on the B pillar..
Both are true. Though the screen edge issue was not as common on the earlier models and a lot more common on other Toyota radios but I’ve seen a few on this generation Camry. The safety rating is a subject I didn’t touch on because that’s not mechanical and that’s something for the perspective buyer to research on the car itself new or used. you are 100% right on the safety rating
i bought a 2014.5 camry from carmax and it had the screen issue you mentioned.
a hack i used to play around there is to use the magnetic part of your Bank card. Cheers
I own a 2014 Camry SE, and received a TSB (transmission shudders when reaching the speed of 50 mph) and had the torque converter replaced at my local dealership. This video is very helpful to keep an eye on trouble spots! Thank you!
I think i'm having the same problem. How much did it cost to repair if you don't mind me asking.
The dealer fixed it for free. They replaced the torque converter and calibrated the computer. Here is the link to get your car fixed under the enhanced warranty: www.tsbsearch.com/Toyota/POL14-10
I didnt know the dealer covered this and my wifes car has this issue. She is just under 150k miles. Not sure what we should do at this point.
@@the86life me too don't know what to do or whether dealer will cover the costs
Replacing the torque converter is a temporary fix, the root problem is poor transmission design. If I was you, I would sell your Camry yesterday, if not sooner.
Because of the pandemic restrictions and my work in general I have only been driving between 3000 and 5000 miles a year in my cars. Is it OK to change the oil every year instead of every 6 months?
Hi! Personally I would still change it every 6 months
@@TheCarCareNut Sounds good, thanks for the info.
Hi. Thanks for the video going to look at a 2012 with 37k for $6000 owner is 80+ year old lady who is unable to drive anymore. Plan on looking at all the items you spoke about. Thanks again.
Buy it!
After 100k anything is aceptable, however mi ‘13 Camry XLE , doesn’t have any problems, no leaks, no weird noise , no transmission problems, of course, I take care properly of my car , transmission serviced by myself every 30k, synthetic oil change every 5k, ANYWAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE “warnings” IN ADVANCE !!
Update at 130k
1- VVTi rattling now ☹️
Great content, you really know the Toyota products very well. My 2012 Camry Hybrid XLE (with sunroof) makes the exact noise you mentioned in the video when I do a sharp right turn.
Shaokai Chen thank you! It’s very common on these models. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it bothers you. It can be fixed and you’ll never hear it again.
Hope it is not an expensive fix. Subscribed. I will finish watching all the videos in your channel pretty soon. They are very well made and informative. In a short word, addictive. Big thumb up!
Thank you for watching my videos! The repair doesn’t involve expensive parts and id figure around 4-5 hours of labor.
