general problems of the 2010 Toyota Camry

My vehicle is only 5 years old and only has 40,000 miles. I am told that my struts needs to be replaced as they are leaking. I have read other people having the same issue and it sound like defective parts that were installed and may lead to accidents.

When I went to service my Toyota Camry, I was informed that my structs have to be replaced because they are leaking. From my understanding, structs are designed to work for more than 7-8 years. I could not believe that my car which is just 5 yrs old with less than 60k miles would require such an important vehicle component to be replaced. When I did some research online, I found that many people have reported the same issue for Camry 2007 or later models. This does sound like a defective part installed by Toyota. I will really appreciate if you could take some action to investigate about the structs being used by Toyota for Camry models.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that a technician informed her that the front struts on the vehicle were leaking. The vehicle was diagnosed at the dealer and the technician diagnosed the struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,221. Djr.

On Dec 18th I was making a left hand turn and as I proceeded to turn left on to another rd there was a car that had got up to the high speeds of 75or 80 and I had my left turn. Signal on and as I was turning and he ran in to my driver side door and injured my left shoulder and my neck but my air bags did not deploy and I'm now having to have surgery I hope they can get to the bottom of the car wreck and again thanks.

At 70k mls vehicle was loosing precise steering and experienced some "bouncing" on uneven surfaces due to all 4 struts leaking especially the front ones. Dealer replaced all 4 (11/25/14) and 30k later (05/20/20015) two front ones showed the leak again and had to be replaced. In both cases the replacement parts were oem ones. I opened case with Toyota (1605180624) and was told that such issue was normal and it was nothing they were going to do.

2 sensors indicating instability. . . .

When having my annual inspection I was told that my struts were leaking and would need to be replaced. Of course my vehicle is out of the 3 year warranty given by Toyota. The vehicle only has 24,500 miles on it and according to my mechanic there is no way the struts should be leaking. I called Toyota and was told there was no recall. I was given a case number in case there is one in the future. It is all over the internet, Toyota's with low mileage having leaking struts. I guess Toyota doesn't care ab out obvious parts defects until multiple people lose their lives due to the defects.

At 67,000 miles, rear bearing unit went out. Now at 87,000 miles and sounds like it is going bad again.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance when he was advised that the front and rear struts would have to be replaced because they were leaking oil. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

My car has been making noises for a while. . . In the front when I would go over a bump it would sound like the front end was bouncing, the other noise is a thunk in the back when I would go over a bump or down a driveway. I just recently had my oil changed at a Toyota dealer and asked them to look at the problem. They said my front strut should be replaced and that it would not be covered under warranty because it expired at 36,000 miles. Today I just went to firestone to have my tires rotated (I had to purchase new tires a while back {around 20,000 miles} because of cupping from my original tires, which Toyota also claimed no responsibility) and they stated that I need all four struts replaced because they are all leaking. I contacted Toyota, not the dealer but actual Toyota and I stated that they should be responsible for replacing the struts because the vehicle does not have that many miles on it and that the noise did begin before the warranty expired. At this point they are having me pay a dealer to look at the struts and quote a price if they "feel" they need to be replaced. But the advisor immediately told me that there is normal leaking on struts and that's probably what firestone is referring to. So I already feel that they are going to state that it is "normal" leakage. Upon looking online I found that multiple people have placed complaints regarding this matter. I feel that Toyota is going to go round and round with the issue since they do not want to pay to fix the issue. This is also one of many issues I have had with this car.

I purchased this Camry new and at 40k miles, three of my struts are leaking and need to be replaced.

I took my car in for a routine oil change/tire rotation, and was told 3 out of 4 struts were leaking and needed to be replaced. With only 56,000 miles this should not be something that needs to be replaced. This is a safety concern and needs to be addressed by Toyota. I expect top quality from Toyota and am very displeased by this. I should not have to invest thousands of dollars in non-routine service on a vehicle that is only 3 years old. If this is not addressed I will never purchase a Toyota vehicle again, and I will voice my concerns to everyone I know.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while at an independent mechanic for an unrelated issue, he was informed that the struts were leaking. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,760.

I was driving the car down a lane where the car shifted to the right where I damages my bumper suspension and axel I thought it was my fault paid the damages out of pocket and while repaired the mechanics had no clue to the reason why this happen the did say it could have been a manufacture defect.

I brought my 2010 Camry into Toyota for them to check out my struts. I was informed they were leaking when I had my brakes done. Toyotas mechanic and service rep both agreed all 4 struts needed to be replaced due to leakage and they both also agreed they had never seen all 4 sturts go at the same time and at a low mileage (39k). I checked with several other mechanics, as well as other car dealerships (not toytota), and all agreed. . . . 4 struts needing replacing at 39k was not normal wear and tear! of course, my warranty ran out approx. 6months and 3k miles ago. I am sure the struts were leaking then, but I wasn't made aware until after the warranty expired. Toyota offered to help with the cost ,but the total bill is so high it is just a drop in the bucket. I feel this is their problem and they should do the right thing and replace all 4 struts at no charge to me. I am a repeat Toyota owner and bought the Camry because it is known as being reliable and dependable. Now Toyota won't back up their product. I have read many articles online about problems with Toyotas struts. You would think they would want to correct a problem which brings them negative publicity, but I guess they are more concerned with the almighty dollar. . . Even after all the problems and recalls they have had in the last 3 years. Their reputation has gone downhill fast. Its a shame. . . Thinking about going with a Honda.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an unrelated issue when the contact was advised that the struts and shocks were leaking oil excessively and would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic sometime in 2012 for an unrelated issue when the contact was advised that the struts/shocks were leaking oil and should be replaced by Toyota before warranty expired. I was told by independence mechanic that the struts oil leaking problem is very common to the newer Camry (2010 model) and it could be a safety issue. I toke the vehicle to a Toyota dealer to show them the problem. After the dealer inspected the struts, they told me that it is "normal oil evaporation" so the struts will not be covered by warranty. When oil is leaked out of a "o ring" from strut casing/housing, it is a leak, and it is not "normal evaporation". Is Toyota playing game word game ("normal evaporation") to avoid warranty cover to it customers (because too many 2010 cars having oil leaking problem)? would it be a safety issue later on?.

At 46,000 miles I had problems with road noise, so I took my car into the Toyota dealership ( richardson Toyota in richardson, texas) and had them look at what was causing the noise. They told me that it was a tire problem, they rotated them told me everything was okay. Then about a couple of months later I took it in to have the tires rotated again, I went to tire shop in mckinney, texas rather than going to the dealer. They asked me to come out and look at the struts and the tires. The tires were cupping because the struts were leaking so badly they weren't keeping the front end level. I then called the dealer and took the car in for the problem, which upon arrival was told the struts were fine, and that Toyota said the leakage was exceptable from between 10-15%. They recommended new tires and if I wanted to replace the struts they would do it for about $1,000 to $1,200 w/out tires. My car was a certified Toyota which they wouldn't cover any strut replacement. I told them why would I buy the same Toyota parts and have the same problem in another 35-40k miles. It was very disappointing for someone who sold Toyota's for 3 years.

When I took my car for service at 50,000 miles, my front struts were leaking, so the dealership replaced them. Then I had my 2009 Camry inspected and it was determined that at 60,000 miles the struts were also leaking. About a month after I got the front struts replaced on the 2010 Camry, the front right strut began to leak severe to the point that only having 800 miles and a month of use on the new strut, it needed to be replaced. I think there is a problem with newer Toyota Camry struts and they need to be investigated before there is a catastrophic failure in on of the cars.

I purchased a Camry in January 2010, and 2 years later I need new tires. Now they tell me that this could be normal, but I have previously purchased 2 other new cars and have never had to buy tires. The outside tread of my tire is completely bald. I regularly rotate my tires and get the needed maintenance. I have had problems with my car pulling to one side when driving but was told nothing was wrong with it by a Toyota dealership service department. I have filed a complaint with Toyota and they seem not to care about my situation. I believe there is a defect because a worker at the dealership stated that this happens to many of the Camry's that he has seen.

All four struts severe leaking.

Bought 2010 Toyota Camry new. With less than 5000 miles on odometer took back to local dealer complaining about vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds. Car now has 20,000 miles, and after third visit to local dealer service department all they say is bad tires and Toyota does not warrant tires. Filed complaint with Toyota and company says same thing.

Tl - the contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while reversing, there was an abnormal squeak heard from the front end as the vehicle began to wobble. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side strut was leaking and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000 and the current mileage was 68,000. Kmj.

Front wheel driver side was making noise every time I drive over the bumps or uneven road,went to Toyota dealer they told me that's normal just keep driving ,didn't pay attention to me and now I have 47000 miles on my car and that strut is leaking pretty bad,to fix it they want to charge me 800 $. I feel cheated now.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated when attempting a turn in either direction, the steering wheel would wobble abnormally and the vehicle would pull abruptly to either side. In addition, when braking in wet road conditions, the wheels would slide before the vehicle would come to a stop. The rear wheel would wobble excessively and would cause the vehicle to pull to the right, making the drive bumpy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times and has been test driven and received a diagnostic test, yet the dealer was never able to diagnose the failure. The dealer advised that the vehicle conformed to all specifications. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 6,500.

At speeds exceeding 60 - 65 mph the car sways.
