2000 Toyota Camry LE 2.2

Summary:

Comfort, reliability, and affordable

Faults:

My experience with my 2000 Toyota Camry LE has been good.

The only negative thing I can say, is that I had a problem with the trunk leaking.

I was very curious if anyone else had this problem with a Toyota Camry.

After my mechanic sealed every spot visible, the leak has finally stopped.

We started to clean out the trunk before a long trip. Once we opened up the wheel well, after a long, harsh NY State winter, there was 2 1/2 feet of water in the wheel well.

Now the leak has been fixed, I'm leery as to whether it will re-occur.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with my Toyota.

I get between 35-38 mpg.

The ride is smooth and quiet.

I am just concerned that there is some type of factory problem with the leaking, that was never found, until I looked further.

Thank You.

I have encountered an issue where the floor inside the car (except behind the passenger seat) is wet. The front driver side is more saturated then either the passenger side floor, or the floor behind the driver. I have been unable to determine where the leak is coming from.

I have been having driver's side leaks as well. I have a plastic mat on top of my regular mat that had water pooled on it after a heavy rain. I have not been using the ac so that is not the issue. After feeling under the steering common I felt moisture near the fuse panel. Any comments or thoughts?

My Car is leaking from the opening to the blower valve and flooding the passenger floor whenever it rains or water gets on it from a sprinkler or washing it. I have taken it to the local Toyota dealer and they won't believe what I am telling them is happening.

Hello Toyota types, this poor person does not understand that these "low-cost" rotors are composite metal and not made with Good Old Pittsburgh steel like were available before these companies got greedy and have rushed to get Chinese made junk! YOU CANNOT TURN DOWN COMPOSITE ROTORS! These rotors are one time use and then are junk metal. Once these rotors heat up they warp. That is why you need to get top of the line rotors and pads! The good stuff is out there, but you need to pay a lot more or just live with warped rotors.

Quality is worth it unless you just want to flip and do an injustice to the next person. So with all those brake services, they more than paid if they had gone premium pass. A waste. When I sell cars privately, I always put new 2 year tags on them if close to inspection and change the fluids. In very few instances I feel I get it back anyway. People love seeing receipts at sale time. There’s other Chinese aftermarket parts I stay away from, even the light bulbs. And that includes second generation metal stampings like body panels. My opinion anyway.

2000 Toyota Camry LE 2.4L Gas Engine

Summary:

An over-rated car

Faults:

The steering wheel was tilted toward right. The car does not go straight without driver force it going little bit toward the left. Brought to dealer (Toyota at Richardson in TX) tried to get it fix without any improvement. The service was so poor that after oil change, they even forgot to tight the oil drain cap of my car.
