My daughter bought a '16 XLE Camry Hybrid brand new. She was apprehensive at first of all the complexity of a hybrid. So far, 70K trouble-free miles. She really enjoys the vehicle and turned her into a Toyota fan.
My 2014 has 100k miles and the hybrid doesn’t work. Gotta get it fix to pass smog by next month lol. But it is salvage title. Wonder if the hit shortened its lifespan
To summarize Camry buying guide (2015-2017) - [ ] Check for front timing cover oil leak - [ ] Transmission fluid changes every 60k? - [ ] Check for excessive rock chips on hood possible rust spots(due to shape of hood) - [ ] Chassis- if squeaky (especially in cold) front sway bar bushings need to be replaced - [ ] Radio - see if dealership does updates to solve any radio problems
As an additional note, the cold start rattle, and everything related to it. He's done videos on it, i did not know about cold start rattle until after my purchase.
Everyone has an opinion, but getting one from a man who repairs the actual vehicle is valuable. Someone below referenced Scotty Kilmer. I love Scotty but when it comes to Toyotas, you are the MAN.
A friend of mine is a Chippewa Indian. He is well acquainted with rough outdoor life and vehicles that get you to those places. His reason for buying a Toyota truck was: "in videos from the middle east the trucks with 50Cals mounted in the bed and bursting through sand dunes, climbing mountains, and charging into firefights are all Toyotas--very old Toyotas. If they're good enough for a middle eastern terrorist, it's good enough for me. LOL, I love that guy.
Nice to know straight forward, honest mechanics still exist !!! I reside in New Jersey and every Toyota dealership I’ve gone to is “less than satisfactory “. I have a 1998 Camry v6 with 352,000. I am struggling to maintain it because I refuse to deal with Toyota dealership drama. Thank you.
@@Meded-bi5qd MY MPG is a little lower than I expected. I'm getting about 29 on average. I noticed the tires on it are not the factory recommended size either. Otherwise no its a beast.
@@seanr.7349 yes otherwise hw it's about 34. Car is rock solid..mplus what I also learned is the 2017 have different transmissions than the 16, 18 it has a 6 speed and I've been told it's one of the best transmissions you can get in the newer models...if it's a 17 I'd get it.. I paid 15 for mine it had 29k..no brainer.
i bought a 2016 camry hybrid with 72,000 miles 2 years ago. i'm a full time rideshare driver and it now has 188,000 miles. mechanically speaking, the car has been flawless.
2017 Camry Hybrid XLE I bought it at 27k now has 100k all trouble free miles maintenance is all I keep up with in this car and it really shows! I get 45mpg on the freeway and about 48-50 city I love this car! It's very reliable I change the oil every 3k and all other fluids including the inverter every 30k including spark plugs...I also changed the PCV valve but not cuz it leaked or failed but just as preventative maintenance since the original one was inside the car 5years when I took it out it rattled perfectly but since I already had a new OEM valve I just replaced it anyway...I do have a brand new OEM Toyota thermostat/ inverter pump/ electric water pump inside their boxes just chilling but the ones in the car are still functioning just fine so I'll hold on to them until I need to replace them... around 70k I read that Toyota has weak water pumps so I got nervous and bought one just so I have it ready to replace but I'm at 100k and so far its still good I guess 30k fluid changes have been great for this car so I'm happy with my maintenance intervals and really love this car!
@@SecurityZone1 i replaced a pcv valve as well, also as a preventative measure. haven't replaced anything else though. haven't had any problem with any pumps or hoses. your car will definitely make it to 200k and beyond, considering your maintenance habits. 300k care free miles is probably inevitable as well. you'll probably get tired of holding on to all those parts you bought, since you'll never have to use them 😂 *** the car now has 201,000 miles and still no issues!
I bought a 2017 Camry SE in 2020 for all your great reasons. Trying to avoid all the complicated tech heavy new cars with bush button start. I use my car to travel from point A to B, not sit in it and play with the big screen infotainment system or get nagged by all the nannies while driving.
I just test drove a '15 camry hybrid with 56k miles, XLE model. We are buying it from a personal owner for $3k below market value, a nice find in white pearl with black leather interior. This vehicle compares and even exceeds in features my Benz E350.
That was an awesome review, I'm very happy to hear things about the 2017 Toyota Camry. I have been looking for a Toyota Camry and I found one that doesn't have very many miles on it. Of course now it's 5 years old. But I greatly appreciate everything you had to say. It makes me feel like I will be getting a better vehicle. I just need something reliable that has a good air conditioner in it. Something reliable that I can travel in.
I own the 2017 Camry SE. Bought it new for $19k and change, out the door during end of model year sale. The car is bulletproof and drives like silk. The 4cyl is excellent, the trans is perfect, love the paddle shifters. I'm not a fan of Toyota's sport shift logic, but you get used to it. 2018+ Camrys look great, but, transmission issues have been problematic for many. Although somewhat boring and lacking tech, the 2017 Camry is a fantastic driving machine that is simply reliable. In contrast, we have a 22 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited. Also a nice vehicle but the 1.6T engine is pretty crappy. Paid 2x more for the Hyundai and got ½ the ride of the Camry. Two different vehicles, but if my life depended on a cross-country trip, guess which one I take?
07 camry looking to upgrade. I hear good and bad about kia/hyundai. me personally id run for the hills before i bought a kia/hyundai and you know what i am talking about.
I also have a 17 SE and I just do not understand the paddle shifters, every single time I want to use them it starts me in 4th. Not a big deal because its not suppose to be a racecar but I don't think it belongs in this vehicle.
2017 owner here, original transmission oil🛢 . Everytime oil light comes on i usually get oil change. brakes changed once, camry runs great. It's there when I need it
I've been a Camry fan since my first 2004 one. It ran great with several problems we didn't know about until the car just couldn't take it anymore. I'm glad I found this because I was apprehensive about buying a 2017, but I'm at ease knowing that they're solid
In July I bought a 2015 Camry XSE with the v6 motor. So far no mechanical problems but the moon roof has a loud creaking sound somewhere in the headliner and makes the noise while going over bumps or uneven surfaces. There is also a rattling noise coming from the back windshield while driving at higher speeds for longer periods of time. Besides those and the unresponsiveness of the touch screen radio the car is great.
That rattle from the roof is likely the infamous clunk from the roof structure. Nothing is broken and the fix is not hard just time consuming and involves removing the sun roof
Same, read in forums its a common issue and there is a toyota service bulletin for it . I bought certified used and bought the extended warranty . Long story short even tho there is a fix and toyota acknowledges it, since that only thing it causes is "noise" they dont cover anything that just is a "noise problem" smh. The dealer even tried calling twice to toyota and they dont want to cover it . They quote me $1600 to fix it out of my pocket
Hi,I had the same problem with my 17 Xse v6 (moon roof headliner clunky noise ) . I was at dealership 2 times first time I got no clear answer about that problem,I was again for a second time and I ask for some advisor to have a test drive with me and I show him the issue with moon roof. Toyota has issued a bulletin about this kind of issue for some Camry models . They send me to a bodyshop and they found the problem. Was a bracket loose. 5 h work 490 cad (by the way,I’m from Canada)cover by the Toyota warranty. My car had 78000 km and out of the warranty but Toyota fixed for free . I suggest you to go back to dealership and ask to fix.
@@TheCarCareNut I had a sudden unintended acceleration! I went to carcomplaints.com to see if this was a common problem! Only one or two 2016 Camry's had that problem! The most prominent incidents of sudden unintended acceleration recently took place from 2000-2010 in Toyota and Lexus vehicles, resulting in as many as 89 deaths and 52 injuries in the USA! I went to the dealer and all they said was I needed to be able to recreate the problem? In other words they found nothing! Can this happen again, I saw here on RU-vid what to do when it happens!
Hi! Unintended acceleration is a tricky one. I would make sure your floor mat is placed properly and that you only have one floor mat as that causes unintended acceleration if it gets trapped under the pedal
Just bought a 2015 XLE V6 and I’m already in love with Toyota all over again. Went over to Mercedes Benz for a little while but now I remember why my first car was a Toyota
i was joking with my friend who has ferrari's and a bently. said with all the problems, the reliable camry's and corollas' should be $300,000 not rolls royces lol.
Dude you are the best. I was kinda getting bored of old Scotty Kilmer and found your channel. Thanks for all the great info. I'm looking at a 2017 26k mile camry from a private seller. Just like you said in the video, its an SE with standard alloys.
I had a 2016 Camry SE .. 4 cyl.. it was the best car I ever owned. in 125k the only things i replaced in that time other than regular Maintenance was the rear brake pads at 99k, a gas cap and a Battery at 43k.. it still looked and ran great when I traded it for a 23 Camry XSE awd . the only thing I regret was putting a aftermarket Remote start on it.. it caused the check engine light to come on.. Toyota said to take it out, but the a/m company said they had never had problems .. so I believe Toyota, but the light would go off after 10 starts...
I bought a '15 SE 4 cyl. brand new. It currently has 109k miles and not a single issue other than routine maintenance. Though looks like I will need to get the trans fluid done because I didn't realize they say it is lifetime... no fluid is lifetime. I bought a discounted (negotiated to $1,000) 75k service plan. I also bought a 100k extended warranty when I first bought the car (negotiated to $1,500 - which was never used). I do a lot of highway driving. The thing I have noticed every once in a while is the trans will shift very late sometimes. Though I think this may be because I apparently have 109k trans fluid. The hood chips are real and I should stay more on top of that (I even have some roof chips just above the windshield).
Finally, found the experienced Toyota Camry mechanic! Your channel is just simply great!!! And I have a question: What is the automatic transmission fluid change TIME (not milage) interval? I did not find anything in the owner manual, either on the internet. I have very low mileage on my 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6 (just 28000 miles), and I use the time intervals for maintenance instead of the mileage intervals. I asked the service adviser at the dealership and he said ATF has to be changed every 5 years if the time interval is used. But you said Toyota does not recommend the ATF change at all (again, nothing in the owner's service manual).
I have the 2015 LE, runs like a dream, not one problem 47K. Comfortable, dependable and economical - a winner. I was thinking of trading it in on a 22 Camry Hybrid. The trade in price is tempting but after watching this video AMD made a point about battery life in hybrid if it is not driven much, which would be my case. So he changed my mind. Then I thought about the 22 gas Camry. Well these have direct injection, which I think is inferior long term to port injection. So I am sticking with my 2015.
2018 and after Camry and other toyota gas engines have both direct and port injection(both at the same time present) to prevent carbon deposits like most of the other manufacturers have.toyota does not have the carbon problem from what I have read so far.
I had the 2012 toyota camry with the bad transmission problem torque converter never got it fixed toyota reliability is unbelievable I've driven the car with a bad transmission since 2015 from 80k to 240k now!
My uncle checked with the assistant service mgr he's friends with at different Toyota dealer he uses and same thing, since there isn't a code they are saying that Toyota won't authorize payment under warranty. I really like the car but this issue really irratates me. The vibration makes it feel like you are driving over rough pavement even on a newly paved road. Anyway I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. Not much you can do without the car LOL. Thanks for the reply anyway.
Have 2017 LE , no issues. Except every time I go with friends to any dealership to look for a car for them, they always wanted to know if I was interested in selling/trading mine !! I just laugh & tell them I have the best car on ANY dealership lot. Mine was purchased new, & only has 29,000 miles on it. Yeah, I guess the do want to get it to resell & make a fortune. Best car u ever owned, but I hope it's my last as I'm retired now 18 years & it's all I need. BTW , I looked at the new 2023, Nope not for me.!!
Am a Toyota die-hard since 1975. Bought this car brand new at San Rafael, CA back in July 2016, have put 198,000 miles on it...not one single problem ever. Discovered a hidden feature that keeps the fuel consumption to brand new max just 3 months ago. Drives like a dream from day one. If I could find another factory new 2016 like it I would buy it again. Like I always say "If I could put a ring on this Camry I would.
My mother purchased a 2015 Hybrid in 2020 and the hybrid battery gauge was and still is showing a consistent average of -2 bars (I can't remember maybe out of 10). It stays the same unless driven in the mountains when it regenerates more on longer descents. I think there's been very little to no hybrid battery degradation and yes I've kept up the maintenance on the filter for the battery.
I have a 2016 Hybrid Camry with 164k miles. Some of the problems you described I have. The leaking front timing cover and the bushings when cold. Thanks!!! I watch your videos all the time. Very helpful!
Yeah my 2010 ES350 has that engine cold start rattle. But it's been 2 years and I've noticed no difference or loss in performance so I seem to be fine.
Thank you for answering my question regarding the ATF change "TIME" interval. I have also found your advice to flash the coolant every 5 years, and I have an additional question: What is the TIME (and milage) interval to change the brake fluid? My other car is a 2013 Nissan Altima and at the dealership, they advised me to change the brake fluid every 2 years. What about the 2015 Toyota Camry? I think, 2015 Toyota Camry has an electric power steering, so I do not ask the question regarding the power steering fluid change.
Hi! On the brake fluid it’s not a time interval. The fluid needs to be tested for moisture content. Normally around 3 years is when I see moisture content high in Toyota’s. So if a test is not possible I would wait at least 3 years before changing it
I just take the fluid down in the master cylinder with a turkey baster and replace with new every time I change the oil. Have did that for many decades to keep it fresh. Never had a problem in all the vehicles I have owned.
You are exactly correct. Getting advice from a guy that actually works on the vehicles, that's definitely priceless. I appreciate people that are honest and to the point. Especially the man in the above video.
Hey AMD, I recently purchased a clean 1 owner used 2016 XSE V6 based on your recommendation in this video, and it really helped me look out for certain things. Plan to replace the transmission fluid as it’s at 60k miles now. Loving my car so far, thank you! 👍
@@johnorlando4942 hmm good question - I’m thinking of a flush as it’s over 6 years old and has 60k miles. From what I understand, transmission fluid changes are recommended every 3-4 years and flush every 5-6? And I’m not sure the previous owner of my car did his due diligence - so best for a full flush in case of contaminated fluids.
Please let’s us know how the transmission holds up after 100k miles, the V6 models are having problems, shameless Toyota. I wish you don’t have issues with your transmission. It seems that they don’t want theirs cars to last, more money for them?
I bought a 2015 XLE for a good price and have driven it about 10k miles. It now has 51k and I love it. The only issue I have seen is the head unit is glitchy at times and the GPS especially is not that great. Other than that, I love it.
I just upgraded from an 03 outlander now I have a 2017 Camry xle 4 cyl, bought it with 70k miles and its a freaking dream to drive. I’m thinking about adding Apple car play to it and it would be perfect
Hey AMD, you are arguably the best and most informed person out there, surely very informative video. I bought a 2017 SE Hybrid, and since then have watched most of your hybrid videos, and cant thank you enough for your valuable inputs. I had 2 questions 1. As advised by you, I checked the air vent for battery on driver side rear door, I dont think it was ever cleaned in first 3 years of first lease period, so I did remove the seat and cleaned the outside portion of the filer and the surrounding area, however I wasnt able to reach the filter which is behind the seat itself, how frequently that needs to be cleaned/changed ? 2. how frequently invertor coolant needs to be changed for the battery. Many thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the great work.
Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So the filter behind the vent on your Camry requires the seat bolster to come out to get cleaned or replaced. I’m trying to find a similar model to film with in the Chicago area. So you’d want to clean that filter or replace it when it starts showing signs of getting clogged. On the inverter coolant first replacement is at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k or 5 years afterwards.
Just bought the 2017 Camry SE with 35k. I had already done a lot of research a d made a confident purchase. But I do have to admit, I was nervous to click on your video in case you said it had a lot of issues. Boy was I happy at the end. 😂
Love my 2017..recently purchased off a lease to an elderly guy with one 21000 miles. I plan on at least 10 years as I am now retired. Due to frequent short hops, I will change oil every 5000 miles.
You said 4 cylinder is your top pick but i thought in general 4 cylinders have more issues? Also, aren't sports models more of a bumpy ride? my 06 was super smooth
So I have a 2016 Camry (4 cylinder) - just replaced the driver side axle, tie rod end, and ABS speed sensor. Drove it home (2.5 hour drive) and now I've got what I believe to be a transmission leak. AMD: "These are bullet proof." Me: 😒 lol - just my luck, I guess. I've had the car for 117k miles (original owner) and this is honestly the first time I've had to start replacing things that aren't just routine. I even went 116k miles on the original brakes and rotors. Oh, and you were spot on about the hood. I've had a small dent in mine since the first month I had the car! 😆
I know he said the XSE had the tire/wheel issues with 19 inch wheels. Is the SE or XLE with 18 inch wheels better to have if someone does not want popped tires or bent wheels so often?
What is the transmission fluid temperature range for checking/leveling the fluid overflow level after changing transmission fluid on this one? Is it 104-113F like in the Lexus RX350? Thanks for your great channel. I enjoy all the videos you have.
I have a 2015 SE and it has been fantastic! I got the extended warranty and had to have my radio replaced twice because of Bluetooth issues. I didn’t know about the oil leak issue, but thinking about it, I do believe my Camry does have that issue. It has been the best car that I’ve ever owned to date!
@@subaruamazon not if they have all of the service records. If there’s no verifiable service, I would be a little leery. That’s the case for any vehicle though. If there’s verifiable service done to the vehicle it shouldn’t be a problem with that mileage. Just be sure to check a pre-purchase inspection done on the vehicle by a reputable mechanic. I would avoid the 4-cyl model. Many times I wish that I had the V6 because of needing extra power at times to pass on two-lane roads or extra power to get up and go in critical situations. The 4-cyl just doesn’t provide that power when needed. 😢 All in all, 2016 should be great! Mine has almost 168k on it and I religiously change the oil every 5k myself and I have only had to replace the alternator at 121k and the battery at 130k. It’s been a fantastically reliable car!
@@subaruamazon looking back at my original comment, I haven’t noticed any additional oil leaking since I first noticed it. Yeah, and the radio is the only other thing that I have replaced.
@@jeremycarter my 07 se is good but am surprised to find so many repairs in five years and 50k miles from when i bought it in 18 - alt, bearings, valve gasket cover, water pump, fuel pump just this thursday. I hear v-6's are to die for. they are a pain to tune up with the front back plugs coils. If i can snag a good 15 to 17 i will do it. kind of a tricky time. saw no new tacomas or camrys this week driving by a NJ toyota dealership. and then there are those at the dealership, i saw one talking to a salesman, with the 15 17 probably looking for a 23. everyone wants to upgrade lol.
My family has a 2015 Camry SE and it’s been a very reliable car with no mechanical issues. We have over 70,000 miles on it and we have changed the transmission fluid twice already, only because we have our own repair shop so we just do maintenance on our personal vehicles earlier. We do have the radio issue but it’s not a big deal and doesn’t happen all the time. My only complaint with it is that we have a rattle somewhere in the back that we haven’t been able to find. Really makes me want a Japanese made Toyota 😂. We’re in the market for a new Toyota. It’s most likely going to be a RAV4 hybrid or a Venza. I am debating on trading it in or not because this is really one of the last simple Toyotas.
Hello sir would you recommend a 2017 more over a 2016 or 2015? I found a good deal on the 2016 and some 2015 they are cheaper than 2017 with same mileage and condition. Is the 2017 better for some reason? Looking at the se models as well. Thank you!
The 2015-2017 models are great. I wouldn’t prefer one over the other. As long as it’s in good shape with good maintenance history it’s a good car to buy.
I have a 2015 4 cyl with 130k. I have not had 1 issue with this car, most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I do over maintain this car if that's a thing, but it's paying off.
@@DavidNgo86 Oil changes every 5k Trans fluid/filter every 50k Coolant 60k New spark plugs 120k New brake fluid 60k Mass air flow/throttle body cleaning every 30k Keep clean air filter and fresh battery. These simple things and not driving like an idiot will make this car reliable for years.
Okay so I bought a 2016 Toyota Camry SE 2.5l with the six speed automatic transmission car runs very well no noises out of the ordinary of course you’re gonna get noises out of a four-cylinder. It’s just the way it is, but I had the transmission fluid changed from mechanic shop not the dealer but independent mechanic shop that has ASE certified mechanics, it was just a change drain and fill still has original filter in it when it got done having its fluid changed and yes I will tell you the car just turned 86,000 miles. It had no service history of the transmission fluid being changed so I recently just had changed, the shop pulled up the Carfax history report some things have been done to front brake pads recently like 10,000 miles ago and your typical oil changes filter changes, etc. but no service of the transmission so I figured OK. Well let me go ahead and do the fluid change now my question is the mechanic came back in and showed me the old fluid that came out of it. It was not black. It was not burnt it kind of look like a dark cherry wine color. He said that is a good thing. he also told me there is no chunks or anything in the fluid, he said that it was just normal wear so no problems as long as we don’t see big chunks you’re OK so anyway the tech went back to the shop and finished up my car. The owner of the shop asked me if I was having problems with the transmission. I told him no it was just a maintenance and I was not he said OK good well long story short I paid for the service. I got in the car. I started driving it. It shifted really good from park. Reverse neutral Drive etc. like really smooth started driving the car did not notice any rough shifting slipping or anything well I do food delivery for right now because I got laid off from my W-2 job so I’ve used this car quite frequently since I’ve bought it three weeks ago today, I noticed there was a little bit of weird shifting with it. It’s not slipping at all, it was almost like it didn’t know what gear to go in when I was getting on it and when I mean getting on it, I mean accelerating hard. It would move down the road very quickly but when I let off the gas and push my foot on the break. It would kinda rev up a little bit and then go into gear shifting down the way it’s supposed to when you go and start slowing down for a red light then I would accelerate hard again just to see if I can get it to act up. It found its gear and took off and shifted normal then when I started driving it like a normal person, it took a few minutes for it to shift into six gear. I don’t know why but when I first start the car up from sitting overnight. I do let the car warm up a little bit I heard from this gentleman to let your transmission warm up so that’s what I do now, I don’t rag on it when I first get it out on the road I actually let it get up to operating temperature before I start driving it a little hard. I just found it weird I’m not really sure what it’s going on with it maybe a software update needs to happen or does that new fluid just need to be worked into the transmission a little bit more or does the computer need to get use to the newer fluid for the shift points and everything I have no idea now I will tell you this when I first got it done. This car would coast so flawlessly before it did not do it as well. I don’t know. It just seemed a little odd. other than that little hiccup that I explained, I’ll let you know if it gets worse cross my fingers and I hope it doesn’t because I’ve heard these cars were supposed to be pretty good as long as you keep up on maintenance.
Thanks for getting back to me, but Iam confused, on your video you said the 2017 camry 4 cylinder engine leaks from the timing chain cover, it's not dripping, but that area has oil stains that wasn't there before.I send you pics on messenger, please let me know what you think?
Hi! I think 30k is too early. I usually recommend pcv valves alongside the spark plugs at 120k for your car. That’s a little too early and I wouldn’t worry about it now
I have 2017 Camry LE 145k miles. It’s started to shudder very occasionally around 2000 rpm between 30-50mph. I changed transmission fluid and spark plugs problem still persists. I will take to dealer to check it, Hope it’s not a torque converter maybe just needs a reset like you’ve said.
Mechanic did recommend full transmission rebuild not just a torque converter change. I didn’t listen to him and now transmission needs a full rebuild anyway. Lesson learned but it does have 150k miles.
Hey I know my comment is two years too late but, I’m looking to buy a 2015 Camry LE model that’s got 270,000km’s on it. The dealership is charging $13,000 but discounted it to $11,200. I think after watching this video I’m gonna go down and make an offer on what could be my first and best first car! It’s in great condition visually and interior is clean and slightly unused (one owner who was an old man). Thank you for the tips and things to look for I’ve wrote it down and will take this info and my list back to the dealer and make an offer!
Camrys are good cars my mom bought hers brand new in 2012. My mom passed away in 2018 my dad used it as a daily driver he handed it down to me in December he only had 1 transmission problem and had to have a new one. Now it has almost 320k miles and still going strong
@@TheCarCareNut hello I am considering buying a used 2015 Camry. They are selling it for 11,some change. It has 84,something miles. Is that too much money? The car is really beautiful driving it.
@@TheCarCareNut ok so basically I went to a Toyota dealership. I really fell in love with the Camry. Should I get it? It’s a 2015. It had two owners. I like that it doesn’t have CVT. It has regular transmission
Thanks for the video. I'm planning to check out a 15 xse this weekend. It's a little pricier than I've seen from small dealers and I'm always cautious when cars have over 100k, but the Carfax shows dealer service every 5k then traded it in to the Lexus dealership. Hopefully everything goes well
Hi, I'm a frequent and have learned a lot from your videos. I have a 2013 Avalon Hybrid that's running excellently except there's a rattling sound coming from the engine only while accelerating from a stop and/or while going uphill. No CEL or codes are coming up. It's become progressively worse over the past 15k miles (I now have 140k), and now MPG is down to about 35 City. I've been to two mechanics with good reputations and both say that they can't hear it and that there's nothing wrong with the car. Any thoughts or suggestions? ... Btw, I'm on top of the maintenance, all fluids earlier than manufacturer recommended intervals and new OEM spark plugs at 100k. I've already tried multiple different gas brands and Techron fuel system cleaner. Thanks
Dear Car care nut, I have replaced tires from Bridgstone to Michelin Cross Climate 2 on Camry 2017 and the car handles much better with less rolling resistance, is more fun to drive, and has better gas milage. I would like to ask you if you could make a video about tires for Toyota cars as this might help a lot of people to upgrade their ride. King Regards
We purchased a 2015 New SE and haven't had a single problem.. The styling still holds up in todays ever changing bodies.. One question... we have 65K miles on it now.. should we get the transmission fluid changed? Not a full flush but just a change? Thank you Car Care Nut joe
im going to look at one in a hour or so lol. does yours have the front timing cover leak issue? he does say to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles so that is what i will be doing as well
AMD thanks for all the time and information you provide! What’s the ride like with the Avalon Limited Hybrid vs Camry Hybrid? I favor full size but is 2-4 inches really a big difference in ride and kids legs room in the back seat?
