Why is there still discussion about 2007 Camrys on a 2012 Camry review? Perhaps if anything, bringing up this one, single instance of failure, with a model that has had an almost stellar product run, with having gained the reputation of reliability and quality via years of simply being a good product, more or less proves that it is in fact a great car. If all that can be used as a means to try and disprove its reputation, is an issue from 2007 (which by the way I believe that was actually for 2006 V6 6 speed Camrys, not 2007) where a simple snap ring came loose in a few - a problem that has LONG since been fixed, then try and compare it to other models.
I know for fact that there are MANY other cars made by other various manufacturers that had long laundry lists of issues, and what's more - often times those problems aren't actually fixed. At least Toyota swiftly took care of that issue.
The commentator was happy with their purchase. Obviously Toyota did their job. Let it be.
Dependable? My best friend's wife got 180K out of hers with NO repairs... My ex G/F had a 90 when I last saw her in 2006; for all I know may still be running... WTF?
