CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2005 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2005 Camry is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models had an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about Toyota unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where their data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say "go to CarComplaints.com to report your Camry acceleration problems" like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2005 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.
2005 Toyota Camry xle v6 floods with the a/c and or heat on i found the problem when the wife said the interior smells wet ,checked the floor mat but they were all dry on the top side it wasn't until i pulled the floor carpet up that i found the flood.......there are a lot more Camrys out their with this problem, however the owners don't realize this until the pull up the carpet cause the top side remains dry...
2005 Toyota Camry was financed on 09-2004. July of 2005, the driver's side going to the passenger's floor flooded while the a/c was on.
The dealer indicated the a/c drainage was clogged and cleaned whatever.
On 05-29-06 the a/c was on again and the same problem occurred. No one wants to own up to the problem. One person said there's a leak from the front driver's door but there was no rain. I've driven through stormy weather during winter and there weren't any leaking or flooding, the problem occurs only when the a/c is on. Another said that's a normal problem with the Camry. I've just crossed 27,000 miles, the vehicle is less than 2 years old. I got this car with 11 miles on it. Please advise.
