2018 Toyota Camry

noise

So, one day months after buying the Camry I pulled out of my lot at the house, and was a hot day - I head some noise which I thought was an issue with Gas&#47;acceleration on a very hot day, so I drove ok to my daughter's home across town into her driveway.

There is a noise in the front end that I've had the dealership look into several times to repair,

Main complaints are issues with wind noise on doors and panoramic roof.

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

failure

At 57k miles this garage queen experienced multiple system failures: power steering, turn signals, wipers/washers, and constant failure mode warnings: abs, anti-skid etc.

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

windshield

I just cracked the windshield and it’s &#36;850-&#36;1000 to replace it. Yikes!!

It is hard to do simple things, like reset the average mpg to zero after each fill up of the gas tank, set favorite radio stations, adjust the front passenger seat with mechanical levers, place a toll road tag onto the windshield behind the rear view mirror, see the tire pressure on all 4 wheels constantly on the multifunction information display, etc.

warranty

I had listened to people the past 20 years who talked of dependable Camry, and since March, 2021, I did not spend any money on maintenance and no warranty issues.

The tires wore for no apparent (Hankook) reason and Toyota  nor Hankook  honored  the warranty on them.

Toyota will not cover the issue in the warranty.

comfortable

The seats are comfortable for what I'll call short to medium drives (10 to 90 minutes drives).

The seats are comfortable and the driver seat has many adjustable settings including lumbar support.

Awesome car, comfortable, stylish, good acceleration, good transmission, nothing to complain

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

bold

Show off the spectacular details like LED daytime running lamps, a bold and aggressive gloss black front grille plus a dual exhaust with quad chrome finished tips.

Love the new transmission, new body style is bold and aggressive and yet refined, and the gas mileage is great!

feature

And the communication system is great with the extra features including communication through your phone whether it's locked, needs service, location, etc.

My 6 month old grandson and I are alive today because of my Cameys safety features.

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

This car has more features than I imagined

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

fuel

but for now, Gas and all, the Camry is a nice ride.

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.

interior

The interior is "very" spacious, my husband is 6' tall and his head has plenty room.

The interior is nicely trimmed out, JBL sound system is very decent, seating is firm

I hated the way it performed had like a dead spot on acceleration car was very comfortable inside.

Silver white,red leather interior ,black glass roof, a gem of a looker.

I love everything about my new car inside and out!

Great styling, impressive interior, mileage better than EPA estimates which is refreshing.

2017 Honda CR-V

Most recent issue; a bad rattle from something in the front end.

the engine noise is a little louder than I think it can be and I'm getting used to the power being a little less than what we had.

Only negative is the Bridgestone tires, noisy & excessive wear in 29,000 miles.

My biggest problem with this car is road noise.

As with a lot of Hondas there is some road noise,

Surprising features I can't live without now such as brake hold, dual memory driver's seat, Apple Car Play/Android Auto, LED headlights, hands free liftgate that is height adjustable, adaptive cruise control, active noise cancellation, active shutter grill, awd, dual climate control, 3 level heated seats, 5 star accident tests.

So, the things that make this vehicle stand-out are:
- impressive gas mileage
- very roomy interior and cargo space
- features for the price (heated seats, remote starter, Apple&#47;Android)
- All the modern safery features included (back-up camera, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, collision alert, etc)
- Quality interior materials (I have cloth seats) 

There are only a couple of things that dont get an A grade:
- seats are not comfortable over long periods of time
- a bit noisy on acceleration (not sure if its the engine or CVT or both)

Overall though, this vehicle is tough to beat.

I tell them I have been hearing lifter noises and a strange whining from the transmission.

Contacted Honda due to having knowledge that the Honda Pilots had been recalled for this same issue.

So tired of the dash lights telling me “whatever system” Failure  that this time I am not even going to bother taking it to get fixed.

The car was just recalled because of problems with fuel leaking into the oil!

So, there are major health issues---hydrocarbons in the passenger compartment and a major risk that the engine will fail prematurely due to gas being mixed with oil.

At 70mph the car suddenly slowed, lost power, the check engine light came on, and multiple electrical systems reported malfunctions in the dash display.

shifter

button that controls movement of the shifter knob broke into several parts and fell from the shifter knob causing an issue with properly shifting vehicle into gears.

but turn off that and shift to Sports mode is totally different.

The gear shift is a little uncomfortable for my hand.

tank

The economy of this vehicle is a nice bonus -- my insurance dropped $90/year (due to the safety features) and a tank of gasoline is running around $30 (got to love the switch from premium fuel to regular).

Negatives: gas tank refill alert sounds after 10 gallons, not a good range.

The only thing that we would like to change is the gas tank size is only 14 gallons, which limits the range to less than 400 miles.

lights

At 60,000 miles all of the lights came on and I was told that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced.

newest problem 10&#47;1&#47;21 my emission system light is on.

Inaccurate warning lights, sensors drained the battery 3 times.

Example: The headlights were lowered, now it’s hard to read road signs, the lights are not bright enough.

We had had trouble with the warning lights on mirrors coming on for no reason earlier in the year,  Long story short Went to the dealer in Pensacola 3 times before they said it was "fixed"  Stopped in the Smoky Mtns .

In November, while driving the car, most of the warning lights on the dashboard lit up.

This White Honda CRV is comfortable, quiet and reliable.

Pros: turbo, fun to drive, great on gas, comfortable and drives like new.

It’s pretty comfortable and I do love it.

Very comfortable and fun to drive and got 32 Mpg.

The comfort, classiness, and safety is the best!

Extremely comfortable ride--go for the EX-L if you can!

Its roomy without being cavernous, comfortable, well designed ergonomically, loads of convenience features, and it rides good.

It has every amenity in comfort and performance that I can imagine—turbo engine, heated orthopedæcally correct seats, ergonomic displays, visibility, responsiveness, tracking, safety mechanisms, large clean cargo space, resale value, durability, extremely little maintenance needs, low mileage—and other features lacking on any of the other comparable cars I test drove (a little

This car was an update for me because it has the safety and creature comforts.

This vehicle is everything that I hoped for - from its bold exterior styling, its incredibly spacious and well designed interior, its very capable turbo charged engine, to its smooth and quiet ride.

This car is worth every penny and its a basic car with basic features.

There are multiple built in safety features.

But I still like the styling and amenities of an SUV.

Driver assistance features work well and make the CRV easy to drive on the Highway.

It has many features including USB, touch screen and Bluetooth.

safety

I've had issues with batteries, a&#47;c control center, and now the entire safety suite is going haywire.

MPG of 31-33, has the safety suite, rides well and can carry 4-5 adults comfortably.

Plenty of safety features we haven't had with older models.

but with the new safety features (blind spot monitoring, etc.)

room

Affordable price, upscale interior, very roomy 2nd-row, immense cargo space, quick and quiet power, handles nicely, 35-40 mpg.

I live my new CRV Lx because it has a lot of room in it and cargo space in the back.

Seats fold down and provide plenty of room to carry cargo and my dog.

We are tall and it has leg and elbow room for everyone.

I AM ENJOYING IT..IT HAS LOTS OF SPACE..DRIVES GREAT..I HAD BOUGHT ONE BECAUSE MY SISTER LOVES HERS

Modern, handles well, not too big for street parking in the city, nice cargo space.

REAR hatch shallows a mountain bike with room to spare!

I love the spacious room without being large vehicle.

2017 Toyota RAV4

brake

The rear light setup is better than the new 2019 to 2021 Rav4 cause the brake lights shine on the ground.

I bought this car new, I have taken the car back more than 5 times and they always say the brakes are fine, when you put on brakes they are too loud, sounds like when you need brake shoes, that rubbing sound.

Every time we get in the car the brake make a noise because they are stuck to the rotors

Brakes are garbage and the dealer do not take ownership on the problem.

Everything from poor design of the rear space (cargo net and privacy screen), and enormous headrests that block the rear view, to technology gripes about assisted braking&#47;cruise control slamming on the brakes at unnecessary and potentially dangerous times, and the

No more stepping on brake to slow down for vehicle in front of you and your speed is adjusted to match that of vehicle in front of you.

safe, comfortaBLE, versatile, unique blue&#47; black paint, adaptable seating, heated seats, four temperature control settings, adjustable moon&#47;sun roof.

I am 5” 3 I am very comfortable in short or long distance drive.

The interior space is larger than other brand and seat is relative comfy for a long ride.

Get 35 combined and very reliable smooth and comfortable car

It is very comfortable to drive and is easy to operate.

It has good gas mileage, is comfortable, and looks virtually new.

I found it to be more comfortable than it's competitors.

but overall great reliable car with a bold design unique features in base trim such as lane departure assist,  active radar cruise control , automatic high beams .

Kudos to Toyota for a bold new color as well.

The steering is also very smooth, I like many of the features

The RAV4s have great styling, a nice dashboard layout where everything is easy to find, a lot of room, and I really like the adaptive cruise control as an added safety feature.

It has every thing I need from stylish interior and exterior to roof rack options for my cross country trips, and it’s very zippy too.

This car is exactly what I was looking for: a smooth and quiet ride, comfortable and adjustable back seats for both my over 6 foot tall son and under five foot daughter, plenty of storage space (even enough for our dogs), with the nicest screen graphics I've seen, and great extra features like the moon roof, fog lights, and roof rack.

Would have preferred Toyota retain the 60/20/20 rear seat fold, and the corner cubbyholes & other storage options,

Liked all the safety features especially the adaptive cruise control, the backup camera, the blind spot indicated, and cross traffic indicated.

This car has all the features that we loved in the Highlander,

However, the rest of the car's features are great!

I feel safe driving this vehicle and I enjoy all the extra features, plus the AWD for the winter.

The car has good space inside and drive well.

The trunk has decent room to put groceries.

The car is beautifully built with a lot of space especially storage space.

Good resale value, good miles per gallon , dependable, low repair cost, lots of standard products, great trunk space, comfortable to drive, great interior and exterior styling

great safety measures and insurance cost.

I trust in the dealership behind this vehicle as well and especially love the RAV4 in the winter for its safety and durability!

The leather seats and seat warmers, Bluetooth Listening, AC Comfort, Leg and Seat Comfort, Steering Wheel Controls, and Side and Rear View Safety Mirrors.

He says it drives so smooth and he love the safety features it has.

First the Rav4 has an excellent safety rating, as well as an impeccable reliability rating.

I love the color, the safety features and it drives very well.

2019 Toyota RAV4

Real gas Mpg  (Rav -4  ) for city  mileage is 21 mile per a gallon .again again test  more then 300 times 20-21 mile is correct , factory said 28 ml is not even close, so bad gas mileage on town , on Fwy mileage are better 31 mpg per gallon , engin is quite running  smooth , better then BMW X3 - very noise and running very hot (because turbo engin - not Recommend / I  had before) bmw is very hi maintenance car , Toyota RAV4 is good and easy maintenance vehicles.

Within the first 2 days I started to hear rattling coming from the dash.

BUT, less than a week after getting it home we started to hear a groaning sound coming from the front end. Turns out the new "redesign" for 2019 includes a magnetic transfer case (if I have that right.  )

Car makes horrible noise when placed in park, dealer explanation it has to do with automatic parking brake.

The pedestrian warning system noise takes some time to get used to,

It has a bumpy ride, too noisy, slow pickup rate.

There is an occasional squeaking sound up front when turning into uneven ground.

The engine noise is loud, especially when accelerating.

transmission

The main issue I have with this car is the poorly designed transmission.

Driving is super uncomfortable, lousy, shifts looks like has issues, no idea what is doing.

The 8 speed transmission takes a little getting used to, there's a small fault, where you can't plant your foot if the car is still rolling, It lurches forward,

but big cover-up of horrible transmission problems by the manufacture.

but this transmission issue is a bummer if you’re like me and have to sit in stop and go traffic on your commute to/from work each day.

After buying a 2019 Toyota Rav 4 XLE AWD  I regret the purchase the 2.5L engine is not matched to the new 8 speed transmission and when starting to accelerate the engine sounds like it is going to blow up until it gets going

The transmission shifts rough, the engine is noisy.

My new 2019 LE is good and have had for 2 months; great on the high way; 3 hr trip on road was comfortable, the speed is adequate need a little more zoom zoom to it, the engine shift of gears wasn’t that bad as some reviews indicate, didn’t notice the loud engine noise and the shifting was smooth when accelerating, using the cruise control was great and the safety messages appeared when necessary, entune not good unless u have Apple and not Android, my old RAV had more standard features, Toyota could improve that on future base models and the speed, plus my 2002 base had adjustable seat manual to go up or down not on the new one.

I  new and felt the transmission issue, engine noise and road noise ,

Transmission lurches, vibration on startup, remote startup, locks never worked paint coming off near roof guards and on door seam.

speed

After approx 8 months the steering  began making a groaning and sometimes a clunk when turning the steering wheel at slow speed like when parking.

The only issue is its need a very careful n skilled driver when in  cruising mode.and also when monouvering around shard corners at top speed.

At highway speeds passing is a little easier

When driving at accelerated speed (50+) the wind that you hear in the door frames is ridiculous, I took it to my dealer thinking something was wrong with my weather stripping, he confirmed that it's just that loud.

While driving at higher speeds there is always a rattling noise on the drivers side- can’t tell if it’s the mirror or the window

but the eight speed transmission is very touchy and jerky.

After having my Rav 4 for 5 months, approx 2,000-2,500 miles started  hearing GROANING type noise when car is upshifting and downshifting at low speeds going into 3rd gear or so.

Minor problems, ac vent left side quit working,  bluetooth compatibility issues (ask for new smartphone before buying) spring broke on fuel filler door, brake pedal and gas pedal close together possible to press at same time and mpg listed as 40 in town, I get 35.

A C System could be stronger and the vents are too narrow and small.

(AC amplifier bad due to driver seat heater).

There are no side mirror defrosters and the dash defrost that has a vent aimed toward the side window is useless for defrosting the driver side window - it blows toward it

So far the only disappointments are the inside air vents could be bigger for better air flow, and they need to fix their act up re color choices and options which vary dramatically from model to model.

The external temperature number is difficult to read and I cannot find how to brighten that screen.

Wasn’t a huge fan of the large screen partially blocking the windshield and visibility out the front window seemed a bit compromised at the top too because of the roof slope.

but am disappointed with the software glitches (8 malfunctions showed on the dashboard - mainly brake malfunction warnings.

After visiting the dealer today I am informed this is normal as the brake relay has recently been repositioned inside the cab and cannot be rectified, much to the mechanics and my disbelief

I was on very steep paved mountain road in Arizona held at 50 mph on very steep grade  (the noise of electric motors&#47; generators made did get louder, 3 times on very steep areas ) 
  I was also on steep paved Interstate 70 in Colorado held 70 to 80 mph without braking, only had to brake around five different times in 280 miles through Colorado when other vehicles going slow got into fast lane.

Disappointed
Cruise control locks up steering wheel
Bluetooth issues
Brakes squeal loud
Small cargo space

Toyota agrees that there is a safety problem with the vehicle

this car is your typical family runaround give it a break , for the commenter’s out there complaining its to noisey stop thrashing it its not a v8 get a grip ! !

It's drives really smooth, great pick up, amazing gas mileage (typically 40 MPG on average) and super comfortable.

It's a comfortable ride  .. it's a EXL Premium .. therefore it's loaded not as on top of the LIMITED maybe 2 more features on Limited.

It rides well, very comfortable,  decent sound system, good mileage, adaptive cruise and lane assist work well.

It's comfortable and most importantly has held up really well being hit in an accident (and has helped me avoid close calls).

I love the comfort, the ride and I feel very safe.

Plenty of room and very comfortable seats.

Love the versatility and comfort of this vehicle.

The fuel mileage is super, the vehicle has plenty of get up and go on the highway, its comfortable and has many terrific safety features.

The Safety Features ensure that I’m safe and able to get home to my love ones.

We really like the Limited because of all the features.

It has the advanced safety features that I need.
