How the 2024 compares

Too new to judge fully

It has been on the road 2 years, so complaints are still coming in. So far it has fewer than a typical older Camry year, which is normal for a newer car. The area owners report most so far is the body, doors and structure.

Based on owner complaints to NHTSA, compared with other Camry years from 2012 to 2024. A good year can still be a bad car, so check the one you are looking at.

Owners have filed 52 complaints with NHTSA about the 2024 Toyota Camry. The most reported problem area is the body, doors and structure (12, 23% of complaints), followed by the driver assist systems and the air bags. That is the fewest complaints of any Camry year from 2012 to 2024 on file. It has 1 recall. Newer cars have had less time to build up complaints, so expect this number to grow.

Engine and cooling

4 complaintsStalling, misfires, oil consumption, leaks, overheating and engine failure.What to check before you buy

What to check before you buy

  • Ask the seller not to warm the car up, and start it cold. Listen for ticking, knocking or a rough idle in the first minute.
  • Pull the oil dipstick and the oil cap. Low oil, a gasoline smell or a milky film on the cap are reasons to walk away or get an inspection.
  • Plug in an OBD2 scanner. Stored or pending codes matter, and so do readiness monitors that show "not ready", which usually means the codes were cleared right before the sale.
  • Ask for oil change records. A gap in the records on a model known for engine complaints is a negotiating point at minimum.

Brakes and stability control

2 complaintsBrakes that feel soft or grab, grinding, ABS and stability control faults.What to check before you buy

  • The ABS and stability control lights should go out after startup and stay out.
  • Look through the wheels at the rotors. A deep lip on the edge means brakes are due soon, which is a fair thing to negotiate on.

Where these numbers come from. Complaints are reports that owners filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), counted from NHTSA’s complaint database as of November 5, 2026. Owners do not have to prove a problem to file one, so a complaint is a report, not a confirmed defect. Models that sell in big numbers get more complaints, and newer model years have had less time on the road, so compare years of the same model rather than different models. Recalls come from NHTSA’s recall database and cover every vehicle of that model year, not one particular car. Quotes are trimmed, and anything that looks like a VIN is hidden.
