CarComplaints.com Notes: The Camry Hybrid's first year is a mixed bag of brake actuators failing and power issues. The hybrid version even shares the same excessive oil consumption as its non-hybrid counterpart. And it hardly gets enough fuel efficiency gains to warrant the extra costs up-front or during repairs.
Toyota seemed to get their act together with later model years, so if you're looking for a used Camry Hybrid I suggest looking there.
My daughters car had this come up and now it's looking to be anywhere from $600-$1000 if I do the repairs and from what I've read it looks like it's over $2000 to take it into a garage and have it done. NO RECALL!! Toyota really, no recall? Why wouldn't you try to fix something when it's a known issue? You recall the window motors on a 2004 Pontiac vibe because the screws let loose in the window dropped out of the track. I think this would be more serious if it causes an accident and get somebody killed ,
I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD DO A RECALL BECAUSE THIS HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND HAS BECOME A PAIN FOR CAMRY OWNERS AND THE PRICE IS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PART IS OUTRAGEOUS.
