I love watching how Car Care Nut has evolved in his videos. He was a bit stiff and nervous in the beginning as he is seen here. Later he becomes an absolute pro in front of the camera.

i have 2012 Camry SE, bought it five and a half years ago with 30K mile. i have now 145k miles on it and the number of problems i have so far is...0.

I just have to add this. Yesterday my son and I went to purchase a used 2014 Camry LE. After a long test ride, putting it up on the lift to inspect the underneath, pulling out the spare tire and jack the very last thing we did was try to pair the phone with the radio. Guess what, the radio wouldn't pair, there was an issue with the touchscreen! I asked the salesman to get us a price on a new radio. $1000 installed OUCH!!! In our negotiation the dealer will install a new radio at no charge for us! All that to say without watching this video and remembering to try to pair the phone, we would have been out $1000. So again a VERY BIG THANK YOU!!! You helped save us $1000. Blessings to you!

Who could not like these videos. I love this guy. When people tell the truth. It makes a much better world. To live in

You need to do video of top 5 used Toyota cars you would buy under $10k.

Mine is 2013 camry hybrid w/300,000 miles on it (It was taxi/uber). This car is a monster. Still runs like a brand new car.🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

So much valuable information, I hope your channel continues to grow. You deserve more recognition,thank you!

Excellent and very informative review from an expert who knows his job. Top marks. 👍👍🙏

Great video, thank you so much! I'm about to go look at a 2012 Camry for my daughter to drive. With this information and some other I got, I feel I am armed with enough information to know if I am buying the right car.

My 2014 Camry has the torque converter shuttle problem! Ugh, thank you for this information! Love your content!

Thanks for the advice, I am looking to make a purchase on a 2014 Toyota Camry, I'm definitely going to follow these tips before I buy this vehicle

Just watched this video, after watching your most recent one. You did improve leaps and bounds in presentation skills. This is a compliment.

extremely helpful! thank you so much. we're gonna check 2012 camry tomorrow or 2014-2019 so this are extremely amazingly helpful.

This video guided me to buy a 7 year old camry 8 months back, and the same went to his servce center for oil change last week, got positive feedback of the car from this expert. Thank you for your service, may God bless you and keep you blessings to many...

I want to replace my 2004 Dodge Stratus for something affordable but as reliable as possible and the 2012-2014 Camry has been my best option so far, so watching your video has been really helpful because I wouldn't have imagined it could have so many issues. Thank you so much!

Wow. Thank you for the tips. I'm looking for a Camry in this range, and I've learned a few more things to observe.

I watched this video a few times and it saved me from buying a few clunckers. Thank you!

Getting ready to look at a 2014 XLE. Very helpful video.

Thank you so much. This kind of info is why KZfaq is so awesome!

Thank tou for another well produced video/ There are a lot of good looking 2012 Camrys out there. Your video helps us verify which ones we should buy. Thanks again for exposing the problems and advising how we should care for this car.

Thanks for your tips. Thinking about upgrading to a newer Toyota Camry

Thanks for all the tips and advice, i have a 2014 camry se bought new took your advice and replace the transmission fluid at 64000 mls. no other issues so far.

Just bought a 2014 Camry from a Toyota dealer, didn't notice shudder until i got home. A very firm conversation with the dealer and they covered the TC recall. runs fine now, despite the window for the recall closing a few weeks ago they still honored it.

This is a very information-rich post! I learned a few things and will be recommending this to friends who are used-car shopping.

Very good advice for before and after buying a Toyota. Thanks.

Great video! Thank you for your tips! I am considering a 2014 Camry, RAV4 or Honda CRV. May The Lord bless you also. 🙏

We are so grateful to you for telling us about this car. We will check all of your recommendations before we buy this car. I'm sure you've saved many of us from costly repairs.

Thank you for this valuable information, this helped me to buy a used 2014 camry.. Good that i chose camry as i was looking for cheaper cars, but worth the money, engine is smooth, and has great comfort while driving..

Blessings to you as well. Thanks for the information. Bought my 2012 4cyl Camry in 2017 with 80k miles and now has 150k miles. Its been really great. Did transmission fluid change at 100k at dealer. Oil changes every 5000 miles. Recently changed battery and original alternator and the brakes. Did a 1600 mile trip and averaged 39 per gal hwy. Been blessed with no fluid or exhaust leaks. Only issue is the driver door lock actuator, which will be $500 to replace. No rush to replace can lock with key. Thanks again for info.

All my family drives and owns a toyota. My wife had her 2012 camry se for awhile and theres no problem other than water pump. I changed that already. I own a 2016 tacoma 4x4 sr5 and i daily it. No problem its all how you drive and maintaining it.

We have one and it’s a beautiful car. Just be careful with it. A few very tiny rust spots I am working on. You are right about the chips and things. So you can buy proper factory colour coded paint and apply minimally. It gets cleaned regularly and monthly home service things ( not mechanic things- better to pay for that!) We run the car on the highest octane gas - it’s a bit expensive but it drives so sweetly. The reviews I read criticise the steering, but honestly, the steering is fantastic. Most of all drive smoothly and don’t stress the engine and brakes. The emergency brakes are excellent and the seat belt thing locks properly. Seats are comfortable. Everything easy to clean. A nice step up from previous model ( I used to own 6cyl model) in certain areas. Paid a bit extra but over the life of car, good value. It’s a good size for the family. No need for suv! People criticise its looks but when you take care of them, I think they look really nice ( most cars do). Bought second hand last year (2020) 105,000 kms ( 65,000 miles) @ about $US $8000- bottom the range altise. Made in Australia! Thank you brother. Peace and best wishes.

Excellent advise from an excellent Mechanic

Very helpful!! Used your video tips to help me buy a 2012 Camry SE. Thank you!

thanks for the video. wife and i have a '12 with 180k miles and a '14 with 280k miles. recommend turning off automatic door locks to save lock solenoids. we drive 50k miles a year for uber. tires brakes batteries and axles are the only things we've had to do. all normal wear items. no complaints! great cars with minimal problems! we drive the heck out of them!

Thanks for the video Broseph! I love my 08' V6 Camry. Thing is my ride or die, I'll own it until the end

It's so awesome to find this video; it is great!! I'm new to Toyota, by way of a low-mileage 2014.5 Camry SE and I'm looking forward to owning and driving this car for a long time! Thank you for your knowledge and honesty, it is much appreciated. May God continue to bless you and yours...🙏🏽❤

THANK YOU - this video is a GREAT help!

I’m about to buy a 2014 Camry next week, I love their body style!

Wow, a lot more powertrain problems than I would have expected. I think I'll hold on to my 12-year-old Prius. 349,000 miles still going strong.

Hey AMD. Great video. Of course I wish I had seen this sooner but I am still glad that I saw it. I bought my Toyota Camry SE brand new in May of 2013. I never had any issues with the torque converter. I received the recall notice from Toyota in 2014 to bring in it for the torque converter shudder issue. Then it had about 20k miles on it. I had the recall done, no issues afterwards. In 2017 at 53k miles I had the the transmission fluid flushed (by my independent mechanic who is pretty good). He used aftermarket synthetic fluid for the flush. Again, no issues afterwards. Late last year ( in 2020) I started noticing that when I would coast between 40-45 miles an hour I would feel a sudden shudder then it would stop, then it would do it again. Living in NY I’ve hit allot of potholes over the years so I’m thinking hey, it’s my front end and I had better get it checked. I did and NO problem was found with the front end. It was then that I realized that I have the Torque Converter shudder issue that you referred to in this video. Now the car has 95k miles on it and shudders allot. I have an appointment with Toyota next week Thursday (9/25) for them to take a look at it. My question to you is this. Since they have to take part of the transmission apart, when the issue is fixed should I have them flush the transmission of the old aftermarket synthetic fluid that I put in there in 2017 and put the Toyota WS Tranny fluid in there. Or do you think doing this will cause damage? I am just concerned that mixing different types of tranny fluid will cause issues. Thank you for your time. Max.

Thank you sooo much! Timeless info..

Thank you! Very informative.

Very valuable information. Many thanks.

Love your videos, has lots of good information. 👍👍

Thank you for the information. I own a 2012 Camry XLE with 33K miles. Until now I don't have any major issues. I usually change my engine oil every 6000 miles.

Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative.

I own a 2013 Camry. Thank you for the tips. I have 108,000km on it and will be getting the transmission fluid changed at the dealership within the next 6 months.

Thanks, looking at a 2013 to add to the family fleet this afternoon. Have an 06 that's been pretty solid. Good to know what to look for on this generation.

My 2014 Toyota Camry 4cyl had the shudder. Toyota paid for the torque converter to be replaced though. Good on Toyota!!!

He is right .i have camry 2012 Have all the symtoms almost he said Noisy tensioner pulley Cold start clatter in 4cylndr engine Whining noise sometimes Body Paint chipping issue Electrical issue like Radio not playing from last stopped song instead it goes back to first file every time. Transmission / torque converter stuttering after warmed up and cruising aroung 40-60 km hour and leave gas it will stutter little bit

I’ve owned a 2012 Camry LE for 5 years and traveled throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Although she may be a plain Jane in the looks department, I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems. She’s been rock-solid. And yes, it’s a she haha

Thanks! You made me aware of the tc shudder. I had no idea. I thought maybe it was cv joints or something. I called my dealer and at first they checked and said we are showing no warranties left on your car. Then I did some more research and called back and said it’s called the warranty enhancement program ZE5. They found it and I qualify!! (2013 with 115K). My appointment is next Thursday! Thanks again, and I wish you much success in your endeavors!

It was very informative video , Really appreciated

Been really thinking about upgrading cars and i want a camry, preferably a 2010-2013 model instead of a 2007-2009 model for the difference in engines but now i think I'll just stick to my 2002 pontiac grand am 204,000 miles and still going strong. Only thing I've changed is the drive belt and alternator.

Wow! This is so enlightening.. thanks

Good morning Care Car Nut Thank you for your videos

Very informative thank you!

you are spot on about the paint chipping easy!!!!

2012 SE 100 000 miles on it, O problems, just changed tires and a set of sparkplugs(no issues) because I thought it might be time for it, but they were like new!

I got a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE with a little less than 30,000 Miles away few days ago. I love it!!!!!! I have to fix my navigation system though, it keeps saying I'm somewhere in the U.S that I'm not. I'm thinking about taking it to the dealership or a mechanic.

Thanks for them tips , I will keep them in mind

The Lord bless you my friend...a few months back i bought '12 Camry 4cyl le when 31k miles, owned by older woman very well taken care off. You're video is very informative thanks!

great vid! Cheers

God bless you habibi, it is another good job.

Very informative video.

Thank you for the great detail in your video. My vehicle has the timing grind...I'm wondering how bad it is.

Great stuff! Thanks and may the Lord bless you too!

Thank you for this video

Very informative!

After 100k anything is aceptable, however mi ‘13 Camry XLE , doesn’t have any problems, no leaks, no weird noise , no transmission problems, of course, I take care properly of my car , transmission serviced by myself every 30k, synthetic oil change every 5k, ANYWAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE “warnings” IN ADVANCE !!

8:30 Electrical grounding, drivers side front. Very important to check.

glad i watched this video. I am debating on buying a 2012 camry.

GREAT LISTENIG TO YOUR ADVICE THANK YOU

Fantastic channel, and I love that you answer so many questions in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos, they are 1st rate! I have a 4cyl 2014 Camry LE, bought it new and so far it has has been a very good car. Had a small problem when it was new, I would occasionally loose all throttle response for a few seconds after a right turn. It took awhile to get remedied but it ended up just being a simple adjustment at the brake pedal. I know they are not perfect but I do love my Toyota's!

Two issues worth noting with this model. The standard radio (not JBL) has a common issue with the screen not responding to touch around the edges. Mine is bad at the bottom and right side. Car has 37,000 miles on it now, so not like the radio has had a lot of use. Other issue of Camry's of this date range is that they got a poor rating by IIHS for small overlap test in 2012-2014 ('14 ones produced in 2013). The 2014.5 model had structural changes making that version IIHS rated "acceptable," so look for a "2014.5" on the B pillar..

I recently bought a 2012 Camry se v6 with 47,000 miles on it. It’s been garage kept by an old lady for its whole life before I bought it (1 owner). Thank you so much for this video, I’ll be sure to keep all that information in mind! 😊

My 2014 SE had a faulty torque converter too.

Torque converter was bad on my 2014 Camry. Extended recall warranty is 8 years after first purchase or before 150,000k miles.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!!! Lord bless you too my Brother!

I've got a 2.4cl SE 2012 It works great. So far no issues for the last 8 years. Other the usual wear and tear ( Battery change every 5 years, a rear light bulb blow, oil changes and minor scratches on the body work) it's a durable dad mobile! >>>>> I met a cabby with a similar model and his has 800K miles on his, from his words he said the only thing he does on his is the usual maintaining at the dealership.

Thank you for all the helpful info. I really appreciate your channel. You mentioned a grounding point under the engine-bay fuse box. You even point to it with a red arrow but there were no wires connected to that point. And I looked on my 2014 and mine has no wires connected there either. Should I search for a loose ground wire?

Hmmm....i have the 2013 toyota camry and i usually do oil change at every 10000 mile. Have no oil leak of any kind on my camry. The only problen that just show the other day was the belt tensioner noise rattle like the bearing was worn out. Gonna go get a new replacement today along with a new timing belt since it is already at 100000 mile since the day i first bought it brand new from the dealership back when they first came out.

Thanks man!!!

Great video! I know that you have a new ones talking about THE MOST RELIABLES TOYOTA MODELS, but in the Camry, is better the 2.4l or the 2.5l or the V6? Thanks

My 2014 had the transmission shudder but I got the transmission fluid changed just under 50k and resolved the issue. Also, there is a service campaign out for the transmission shudder which covers it in case I have issues down the road. I currently have 81k on it and haven’t experienced the issue again. It’s a solid car and excellent in the snow due to narrower tires and weight distribution.

Hi. Thanks for the video going to look at a 2012 with 37k for $6000 owner is 80+ year old lady who is unable to drive anymore. Plan on looking at all the items you spoke about. Thanks again.

I have a 2012. I bought it with 420 miles on it and now it has 250k. Mechanical issues. Just 1. Alternator failed at 215k. Changed it in 10 minutes. Went ahead and put a new belt on as well. Fixing to change the left driver cv axle and PCV valve next week.

you are the best your a good Honest mechanic they are hard to find nowadays thank you .

I own a 2014 Camry SE, and received a TSB (transmission shudders when reaching the speed of 50 mph) and had the torque converter replaced at my local dealership. This video is very helpful to keep an eye on trouble spots! Thank you!

I had a transmission issue with the 2014. Toyota changed the torque converter.

I bought my 2012 camry xle with the base radio(no nav) and 58k miles. First thing was a oil change and a transmission fluid and filter change. Then a few thousand miles later, coolant and thermostat replacement. Has 78k miles now and that is nothing in terms of it's full career.

I just bought a 2014 a few months ago and while shopping for one, _every_ car I test drove had the VVTi rattle. And a few were 2017's! Mine has it, had the intake cam gear replaced and the new gear does it, lol. I've spoken to one tech who said that it shouldn't cause a catastrophic failure (on the 2ARFE engine) and saw on several forums that most are just ignoring it. Crazy

God bless you and everyone else! TY!

Dude youre a effing genius my 2014 camry has some of these problems namely the shudder at 40mph and oil pump leak. It had 200k miles on it though these are the first problems.

My 2014.5 Camry Le needed a new torque converter before I reached 45k miles. Thankfully it was under warranty... if they open your door and see that it was made during a certain time, you may be eligible for a new converter free of charge, as long as you’re within a certain mileage... this torque converter issue has a mile warranty time separate from your normal warranty mileage, so if you call a Toyota dealer they can probably check to see if you’re eligible for the free repair. 🤗👍

Can you give a video on how to fix the plunk on the sunroof its annoying on my 2014 camry. thanks

me and my girl procrastinated on the covered warranty we never got the torque converter fixed been driving the transmission like that for 5 years!!! Toyota reliabilit!!! but now it's time for new car or fix

My 2003 chevy avalanche is also with allot of issues put a lot of money into it... Also thought chevy was the best i 2nd thought... Never go on last experience...
