TrueDelta Reviews the Reliability And Durability of the Toyota Camry

Toyota Camry Reliability And Durability: Pros
YearComment
2015 In some ways, it''s just as important what Toyota has not changed as what they have. They body and interior might have been heavily revised, but these aren''t parts prone to failure. Most of the mechanical and electronic bits weren''t touched. The engines and transmission have remained the same since 2007. Direct injection, forced induction, dual-clutch automated transmissions--you still won''t find these beneath the hood of a Camry. So the Camry''s outstanding reliability can be expected to continue with the 2015. Except for the non-hybrid 2010, the 2006-2012 Fusion was nearly as reliable as the Camry. The redesigned 2013 has been a bit troublesome, though, and the 2014 has been about average (so neither bad nor great). The Accord was also redesigned for 2013, but has remained about as reliable as the Camry. full 2015 Toyota Camry review
2021 Reliability warrants inclusion in any list of reasons to buy a Toyota Camry. Though the great majority of cars have become more reliable, such that they require few if any repairs during their first four-to-six years, if you want a car that will remain relatively trouble-free for more than a decade a Toyota remains the way to go, with a Honda the second-best but relatively iffy choice. The high priority Toyota puts on reliability led them to fit the Camry's V6 with both direct and port fuel injectors. Direct injectors are best for performance and fuel economy, but port injectors better prevent carbon build-up on the valves. An engine with both has the benefits of both. full 2021 Toyota Camry review

Cheap and weak parts. At 110,000 miles I have replaced the radiator and alternator neither of which are wear and tear parts that should be needing replacement so soon. In addition the front end of the suspension makes a clunking noise over bumps. full 2002 Toyota Camry review
