Faults:

Air compressor seized at 70,000 kilometers

Other minor issues - Front windshield wind noise when driving on the highway

Side door handle wind noise - can actually feel the air blowing in when highway driving.

Rear cup holders are cheap and break easily

Driver's front visor clip breaks easily

Windshield wipers need replacement more frequently than our other vehicles and are difficult to replace.

General Comments:

Generally happy with my vehicle.

Interior roominess is great - at the time of purchase no sedan from the four North American auto manufacturers could accommodate family's height in both the front and back seats.

Minor things in the past 5 years were a bit annoying - cheap rear cup holder, front windshield and side door handle wind noise, sun visor clip breaking twice. Replacement issues with windshield wipers

Vehicle servicing has been regular and not unduly costly. Tires have been changed once

Brakes will be changed at the next service date.

Very unhappy about the seized air conditioner compressor. Costly item to replace on such a relatively young vehicle

Dealership indicated they have seen this on much older vehicles, but not usually on this model year.

Will explore if this is a regular issue with Toyota compressors. If so it will make me rethink purchasing another Camry.

Faults:

Front right strut mount rattles all the time.

Dashboard light showing a rear tail light is out and all the bulbs were changed and are brand new.

Trunk leaks water when you wash the car or it rains really hard.

Front driver and passenger seats are very uncomfortable when riding for a long period of time. They have no back support.

Transmission is jerking in the 4th gear.

Leaking power steering fluid, but the shop cannot seem to locate from where it is coming.

Rear cup-holders in the floor snapped off and cannot be reattached.

Dashboard is noisy and rattles.

Cannot defrost the interior backseat windows no matter what mode you put the defroster in.

General Comments:

This is the 1st time I have ever owned a Toyota and everyone says they last forever and they are the best cars to own, but I seem to have maybe gotten one of those that just didn't come off the line as perfect as it is suppose to be. I am going to be looking at a new car soon and I am not sure if I would choose another Toyota. I have had lots of problems since I bought this car and it only has 81,000 miles on it. That doesn't seem like mileage for a car to have problems when they are suppose to last years.

Faults:

I just got my 1998 Toyota Camry, and it needed new tires... they look like they haven't been replaced at all, but the car's at 90000 miles, so there's nothing surprising about it needing new tires.

There's some discoloration on the trim on the inside of the car around the power door locks and power window buttons and near the radio...I've seen this instance in two different models of the Toyota Camry (a 1997, and my 1998).

There is a slight clunking noise when I hit bumps...can't tell if it's coming from the front or the rear. Don't know what would be making it do that.

General Comments:

The 1998 Toyota Camry LE is a very nice car.

It is very smooth on even bumpy roads.

Has a quick/powerful engine (3.0L DOHC 24-valve V6)

Has stylish looks, and the comfort level of a luxury car (if it's not considered one itself).

Alarm system is fantastic & works very well.

The stock speakers and CD player leave something to be desired, however.
