Toyota Camry Lemon Odds and Nada Odds

Toyota Camry Lemon Odds and Nada Odds:

Other sources of Toyota Camry reliability information provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Toyota Camrys with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Toyota Camrys that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Toyota Camry lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Toyota Camry has been recently.

Toyota Camry Lemon Odds and Nada Odds through December 31, 2012

General NotesNote the sample sizes in the right column. For a precise Nada Odds, it'd be best to have 50+ cars. For Lemon Odds, 100+. In most cases the sample sizes are between 25 and 35, and differences of less than six points are probably not meaningful. This is especially a factor with the "Lemon Odds," where nearly all scores are low.

That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.

Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Brand Reputation and the Toyota Camry

Brand Reputation of the Toyota Camry: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Toyota consistently in top 5 JD Powers brands. Friends owning Toyota vehicles have had stellar performance. Important for a road car we plan to drive 10 yrs + more around town. I have had good pas luck w/Chrysler but 2012 cars like 200 not fit my needs.
2011 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Despite the recalls Toyota remains a brand with excellent reliability and dependability. Both the dealer and Toyota have gone to great lengths to ensure I was satisfied before and after the sale. Resale value has been consistently high.
2009 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 outstanding long-term reliability
2008 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 better than the competition
2008 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Camry has consistently been on of the best sellers in the US. Toyota has a solid reputation for building a long lasting dependable car.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Respected, which helps resale value
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 They run forever with little maintenance
2007 4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 I have owned a used Volvo 544, and a used VW Rabbit, both of which were disasters, and then bought, new, a Corolla which I gave away after 19 years when I bought the Camry. (It is still running.) That told me the reputation was welll-grounded.
2007 4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 Toyota has a reputation for reliability and quality. Although there are a few squeaks and rattles in the car I feel that this car could last the next fifteen years and come out better than many of its competitors.
2005 4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 This is our second Camry and both have been dependable.
2000 4dr Sedan 194-horsepower 3.0L V6
5-speed manual FWD		 they seem to be reliable as people say they are.
