Faults:

The suspension needed work. Replaced struts.

The lights on the trunk lid went out. The wires are strapped to the trunk hinge, and the opening and closing of the trunk eventually caused a breakage. Very poor design. It was a real pain to splice the wires, and set it up so it would not have stress on the wires when moving the trunk lid.

Radiator had to be replaced at about 140,000 miles.

General Comments:

Seats are not that great.

The car has been quite reliable.

Faults:

Motor fan failed at 220,000 Km.

Power steering oil began to leak at 310,000 km.

Fuel tank leaked at 300,000 km.

Dashboard light went out at 270,000 km.

Headlight started to dim from 290,000 km.

Throttle Body needed cleaning at 210,000 km.

Traction control failed at 300,000 km.

General Comments:

It is a well built car. Quiet and very nice ride.

It gave me very little trouble until after 9 years, when the odo reached 260,000 km. Since it is very expensive to fix cars in Canada, I just traded the 12.5 old Camry in for another Toyota.

At 325,000 km, engine and transmission are in very good shape. AC, all power windows, and locks are working. I wish I'd had more tools, skills and time to fix this car, instead of having to trade it in.

Faults:

Had timing belt and water pump replaced at 85000 when I bought it (preventative maintenance).

Check engine light went on at about 99000 miles. Checked it now and had to replace EGR valve and lift sensor... total cost with labor $500. Did I overpay?

General Comments:

Quite and powerful... generally satisfied, but wish it would be more reliable since I did not expect this EGR problem... however, it is a known problem with this model.

Faults:

The tires that came with this year and model have been replaced after owning the car for 1 year.

After 4 years, the brake light on the dash came on; ignored it, doesn't hurt anything.

At about 60,000 the check engine light would come on; disconnected the battery and it's gone. Still have the original battery in the car, starts at minus 30. Gets 27 miles per gallon. Change oil and filter every 3000 miles.

Have always kept seats covered, kept the car very clean. Just had some dings and dents repaired at very good body shop.

The car has 67,955 miles on it. Awesome car; wish new models were this reliable.

Purchased this '99 Camry LE 6 cylinder in 2003 with 60 thousand miles. Loved this vehicle ever since.

Had charcoal canister, all gaskets, timing belt, water pump replaced at 120 thousand miles, and not a problem since besides regular maintenance.

Now check engine light is on. Started with cheapest, worked my way up; began with tightened gas cap, replaced gas cap, get a free diagnostic test, replaced EGR valve...

Keep driving, when time comes for a replacement vehicle, you can bet you boots it will be the same vehicle.

General Comments:

Just like anything else, it requires REGULAR maintenance.

If you ride your horse everyday with no food, water or rest.. guess what??? The horse will begin having problems, and you will be looking to replace the horse.

Faults:

Brake failure due to aged master cylinder.

Clock stopped working.

Started to use a little oil, 1qt every 3K miles.

General Comments:

Drove this car as a Driver Trainig Vehicle, and if there is a test for durability, this is the test. I was told that the vehicle would "Conk-out," within 3 months, and was still using it daily 2 years later.
