NHTSA complaint #11402847, filed 2021-03, 73,796 miles“When the vehicle goes on the highway or the city, it gets about 15.4 mpg instead of ~30mpg. I have used 87 octane gane from different station still yielding the same result. The autorepair shop has checked for everything that could affect gas mileage, but there is no problem, what is going on? I bought Toyota for reliability and fuel efficiency, not to behave like a truck.”

NHTSA complaint #11099849, filed 2018-06, 200 miles“I bought my 2012 Toyota Camry in may of this year and it's was great until the cold weather hit yes antifreeze problem started slowly loosing antifreeze and now inside of car stinks antifreeze. I real lise must be a heater core problem. Did anybody else had this problem and I believe the warranty is done. So much on average does is cost to fix this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11053389, filed 2017-12, 72,000 miles“While driving and running my vehicle AC, I began hearing a liquid swishing noise, often when turning or coming to a stop. Later, when parked, I noticed the mat/carpet under the drivers seat was wet. Upon further inspection a few days later, the mat was still soaked and there was standing water there, as well soaked carpet behind the passenger seat. From research, this appears to be a more common issue with the 2012 Camry if the AC comes loose or becomes clogged.”
