2006 Toyota Camry review from North America
"This thing was a real STOPPER @ THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lets see where do we start? The transmission had to reprogrammed and then went out.
Headlight switch.
Some exhaust sensor.
General comments?
This car was not even comparable to my FORD TAURUS in comfort or reliability. I am BACK in to a TAURUS after only 6,000 miles. I bought the Camry based on what everyone was saying about Toyota reliabilty and well I only have one thing to say about that, BS!!! This car was junk and since then I have spoke to 3 or four people while I was in the Toyota service department that have experienced the same problems. This was a 2007 model, but was built in 06. I have since learned that Toyota disguises RECALLS as SERVICE BULLETINS and had more recalls in 2006 than they sold vehicles. WOW what a feeling...
Now I for one am sticking with a Ford. The best bang for your buck. In 145,000 miles on my 2000 Taurus I never did anything, but normal maintenance.
