2006 Toyota Camry SE review from North America
"Toyota is overrated don't buy a Camry"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1-Plastic rattle (squeak) in the center console
2-Plastic rattle on the A pillar (cracking)
3-Plastic rattles coming from the dash
4-CD player replaced
5-Rattle from the trunk (the spare tire was touching the tool used for tightening bolts
6-Cannot program the door opener (dealer tried it does work) I replace my garage door opener, but dealer cannot program it!!!
7-Noise from the heating control button (it cracks every time the hot water comes in the ventilation chamber) dealer cannot fix it still waiting for a bulletin from Toyota
8-Oil consumption, the motor uses 1.5 L of oil every 8000KM. Dealer find it NORMAL!!!
9-Light alignment has to be fixed (was not align from the shop)
10-Rattles from the sun visor (right and left)
11-Poor compatibility with my I-Pod I must turn the volume of the I-Pod and the radio to the maximum, dealer does know what to do.
12-Car noisy on cement road
13-The passenger bucket seat is shaking and make noise on rough roads
14-Toyota Dealer charging extra maintenance saying it's Toyota recommendation which is not true because other Dealers are not charging those extras.
General comments?
Where is the Toyota quality?
Toyota is really overrated to my point of view!
Are you aware that Toyota has never send me any car survey since I have the car for 18 months!
Are you aware that my Toyota Dealer does not indicate all the troubles on the work sheet is it to get better initial quality survey?
