2004 Toyota Camry SE review from North America
"Valves broken at 75333 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve train on the number one cylinder broke without reason. The car was well serviced and taken care of. Regular maintenance was done per the book.
Very surprised at this failure, as the Toyota name goes with quality, especially the Camry.
With only 75333 miles on it, my mechanic was simply stunned, as was I.
Toyota was no help, and was unconcerned with my request for a failure analysis on the engine.
I have bought my last Camry. I will stick to the Honda Accord.
