2008 Toyota Camry — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 1,141 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Electrical system48 (4.2%)Official recall records for this system: 14, covering model years 1997–2018.

Other / uncategorized: 104 classifications (9.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (32,924 records, model years 1995–2024) are most frequently classified under: speed control & accelerator, engine and brakes.
• Safety recalls (181 records, model years 1995–2024) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), equipment & accessories and lights.
• Transport Canada recalls (116 records, model years 1996–2026) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, electrical system and air bags (restraint system).
• Manufacturer communications (9,305 records, model years 1995–2024) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 693reports included a mileage
• 67,209average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
