Model years to avoid

Toyota Camry

What it says about you

Opinion

You made the boring choice and were completely right, and the mild disappointment of that is something you have processed. It will start every morning for fifteen years.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

22 model years on record, 14,011 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2012 , 2011 (vin), 2009 , 2008 , 2007 (abs). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • abs 2007, 2023 peak 17.9% of that year's complaints
  • pump 2018, 2019 peak 13.4% of that year's complaints
