2014 Toyota Camry Owner Comments

problem #3

Apr 122019

Camry SE V6 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,923 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

On a hot day, the A/C stopped working. I could smell a strong burnt rubber smell.

The A/C button would go green, and I could see that the clutch engaged, but it would stop after a few seconds.

The system was checked for leaks, it was recharged but the compressor does not engage.

It looks like the clutch is burnt, but still engages. I will probably replace the compressor, but it may mean replacing all the components in the system :

Compressor Expansion valve Evaporator Core Condenser

About 600$ in parts and many hours of work. Toyota is not a reliable as I had thought.

Camry 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

A/C compressor stopped working at 55,000 miles. Always thought Toyotas were good cars with very little problems. This was a major problem costing me $1600.00 to have a new compressor installed on a car that had low mileage and all maintenance performed on schedule. No warranty and when I called Toyota they were no help.

Camry LE 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,382 miles

My A/C compressor (2014.5 Toyota Camry LX) totally failed after around 57,000 miles. My car was purchased new on 7/30/2014). I've driven this car carefully and had all maintenance done by the dealer. It was a shock when I was told that, although extremely unusual, my compressor was no good.

I was told I needed a new one, and due to my shock of the cost, the dealer replaced it with a new, aftermarket compressor that matched and was made by the same manufacturer. This repair cost $885.85, which was a few hundred less than a new Toyota brand compressor. In fact, my invoice says the part was $436.76, with labor being the remainder. Then of course, there was tax and a charge for disposal. I am so upset that my trusted Toyota Camry would have such a major problem at such low mileage. I can't find info online about this being an issue for anyone else. I called Toyota Customer Service and they said there are no recalls or hidden warranties. They gave me a complaint number but offered no explanation or help.

I told them that I'd always felt Toyota was so good, I never considered getting an extended warranty. I've had many previous Toyotas and never experienced such a major part breaking down so soon. My dealer said this compressor failure of mine was extremely rare. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Right now, I am just feeling discouraged!
