“My 2006 Toyota Camry, bought brand new, had only 14,606 miles and driven 5 years and 11 months, when I brought it to the dealer for a new battery. Dealer hoisted it and the mechanic told me that the rubber control arm bushings (lower suspension) were tearing and therefore, both left and right side control arms needed replacement. . Cost: $988.38 less 10% discount. The rubber bushing flexes up and gown when the control arm moves and is subject to age deterioration and damage from road debris like salt, snow, etc. The bushing is only partially shielded by the car frame. …”
NHTSA complaint #10440496, filed 2011-12, 14,606 miles“Started hearing metal rattling in the front passenger wheel area. Took it to a local garage and the mechanic found that a section of the spring around the strut had completely broken off. I did not hit anything or go into a pot hole. The mechanic was very surprised that the spring had broken.”
NHTSA complaint #10568956, filed 2014-03, 49,300 miles“One of the front springs (part# 48131-aa331) of my wife's 2006 Toyota Camry broke in two and the dealership recommended replacing both springs. According to the dealership, the sharp edge at the point of breakage could have punctured a tire, if one of the pieces dislodged. The car had only 41,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10325746, filed 2010-04, 41,000 miles“My 2006 Toyota Camry le seems to have a front end problem. I've tried to have the dealership fix the alignment and balance the tires twice, but nothing has improved. The car doesn't track very well and it tends to vibrate above 60 MPH. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle often because it requires constant attention to stay in a straight line. Did Toyota design or assemble something improperly?”
NHTSA complaint #10166666, filed 2006-08“The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Camry. While driving 35 MPH and making a right turn, there was a loud screeching sound coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. Also, while making a right turn, there was a loud clicking sound. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side cv axle boot and the radiator needed to be replaced. The repairs were done; however, the vehicle still drove roughly and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.”
